Alpha's Regret: Howling For A Second Chance Book 2 Chapter 17
Book 2 Chapter 17 Liam’s POV The early morning sunlight filtered through the blinds as I got out of the bathroom, moving quietly so I wouldn’t disturb Chloe or wake her up from her sleep. I’d have loved her to follow me to the meeting I’m attending but seeing her sleeping peacefully eases me and I won’t want to cut her sleep short. Ever since I told her about her father’s betrayal, I’d sensed a shift in her, sometimes she found it hard to sleep peacefully and was always frightened even if a slight thing touched her. She was carrying a burden she hadn’t asked for, and it hurt me to see her worry so much. I finished dressing, and I turned back only to find Chloe already awake, sitting up in bed with a thoughtful expression on her face early in the morning. Her eyes met mine, and she pressed a fake smile just to cover up her thoughtful place but I knew something was wrong. “Hey good morning,” I said softly, walking over to her. “How was your night's rest?” I asked petting

Book 2 Chapter 18 Liam’s POV I barely had time to process what was happening before my head started spinning and everything became double. I wanted to support my hand on the wall but I felt Liam's hand grabbing my hand and squeezing it with a silent plea to stay calm. His face is taut, his eyes flickering with a warning that makes my heart pound harder. Before I can ask what’s going on, I spot Mendy and Jax, striding over with smug smiles with a step of entitlement that makes my skin crawl. Mendy is all sultry confidence, her gaze trailing over me with a look that’s more disdainful than friendly. And Jax… he doesn’t even bother hiding the way he’s watching me, his eyes lingering on me like I’m some piece of meat he can’t wait to sink his teeth into. That alone makes me feel weak. “Chloe,” Mendy purrs, a mocking sweetness in her voice as she gives me a look up and down. “Lovely to see you.” The way she says it, the way her mouth curls up at the edges, makes it clear that she’s

Book 2 Chapter 19 Chloe’s POV Chloe The party has barely started, and I already feel pushed to the fringes, like an outsider. It’s supposed to be a celebration, a chance for everyone to come together and show support. But somehow, it feels like I’m just a spectator, watching the crowd swarm around Mendy as if she’s the main attraction. She’s in her element, basking in the attention as a few of the Lunas gather around her, practically hanging on her every word. I catch snippets of their conversation, the way they lean in close, their expressions gleeful as they pepper her with questions. “How did you manage to snap up Alpha Jax?” one of them asks, her voice carrying just enough curiosity to sound genuine. Mendy’s laugh is light, almost too innocent. “Oh, you know,” she says, glancing over at me with a saccharine smile. “After my mate was… stolen, I had to make do with what was left.” The implication lands squarely on me, and I feel my stomach twist. I should ignore her, let her

Book 2 Chapter 20 Liam’s POVI watch Chloe’s face, the way she struggles to hide the hurt, she’s shaken up, even if she won’t admit it, and it’s all because of Jax. The way she looks at me tells me that she’s furious with me, but there’s something else in her expression too. Fear? Maybe. Distrust? Probably. And I can’t blame her for it.“What was that all about?” I ask, forcing my voice to stay calm, even though the sight of Jax so close to her just moments ago makes my blood boil.She hesitates, crossing her arms tightly across her chest. “I don’t know. But this is all your fault,” she says finally, voice steely. “If you’d told me about Mendy and Jax sooner, maybe I’d be prepared. But instead, you chose to keep me in the dark.”“I was trying to protect you,” I take a step closer, hoping she’ll see how much I regret the decision. “I thought…..”“It’s okay!” She cuts me off with a sharp look, her eyes blazing. “Don’t, Liam. Just… don’t. Go away. I don’t want to hear your excuses righ

Book 2 Chapter 21Chloe’s POV I escape the party crowd, heading toward a quiet corner for a moment to catch my breath. It’s exhausting being here, watching Mendy flaunt herself in front of everyone as if she owns the place. I feel like I’m standing on a shaky cliff, waiting for the inevitable plunge into chaos. My instincts are screaming at me to stay alert, to be prepared, but for what, I’m not entirely sure.Just as I’m calming my nerves, I hear someone approaching. I turn to see an old acquaintance—Luna Evelyn, a woman whose husband has been one of Liam’s close friends for years. She’s a graceful, fierce woman, someone I’ve always admired, and the look of concern on her face tells me she has something to say.“Chloe,” she greets, giving me a warm but guarded smile. “It’s been too long.”I nod, managing a small smile in return. “Luna, it’s good to see you. I didn’t know you’d be here.” I replied. She glances over her shoulder toward the crowd, where Mendy is entertaining her rapt

Liam’s POV The clock on my phone ticks closer to the start time, and I’m scanning the room, glancing at the door every few seconds, wondering where Chloe is. My instincts are buzzing, a nagging feeling at the back of my mind telling me that she should have been here by now. I pull out my phone, and quickly type a message; I’m inside the meeting. Let me know where you are.I hit send, but I don’t wait long. As soon as the notification shows it’s delivered, I slide the phone back into my pocket and make my way to the head of the room, taking my seat as the current chairman. A small nod from the council elder signals that it’s time to start, and I shift my focus, forcing myself to stay present.Every year, this gathering is supposed to bring the packs together, to find solutions, to unite us in strength and stability. But today, with the ever-present threat from Jax and Mendy hovering in the background, it feels more like we’re preparing for battle.The elders begin their usual review,

Liam’s POV I can feel the anger boiling inside me, hot and suffocating. I try to push it down, but the more I think about Jax’s blatant challenge, the more I realize how precarious my position is. The fact that I won by a single vote, wasn’t a victory, it was luck. Pure chance that swayed a single Alpha in my direction. The rest of them had barely hesitated before they’d cast their votes for Jax.I try to calm my breathing, to steady my pulse as I sit there at the head of the table, listening to the ongoing murmur of voices around me. The room buzzes with uneasy chatter. Some of the Alphas are trying to reassure me, telling me not to take the vote too personally, but I can feel the cold bite of their words.“Jax is growing stronger,” one of them says, and I can hear the worry in his voice, even as he tries to mask it with indifference. “Maybe it’s time to accept that he should take the position.”Another chimes in, shaking his head. “But he’s dangerous. You remember what happened be

Liam’s POVThe minutes dragged on. Each second that ticked by felt like an eternity as I paced back and forth in the hallway, my hands running through my hair in frustration. I couldn’t shake the image of Chloe, standing there the raw pain in her eyes. She’d been through enough already. The last thing I wanted was for her to suffer more.Soon the security guard finally arrived with the key, I practically snatched it from his hand. “You took your sweet time,” I snapped, irritation boiling over. He flinched but didn’t respond, probably knowing better than to argue. Without a second thought, I shoved the door open, my heart pounding.The sight that greeted me was worse than I expected. Chloe was sitting on the floor, curled up with her knees to her chest, tears streaking down her face. My breath caught in my throat at the sight of her broken, vulnerable, so far from the woman I’d known to be strong and unshakable. My instincts screamed at meI walked toward her, dropped to my knees besi

Chloe’s POV The house was unusually quiet when Chloe returned. Normally, the laughter and chatter of her children greeted her at the door, but this time, only the faint rustle of maids working in the background broke the silence. She glanced at her phone as she stepped inside, hoping for a message from Liam, but her notifications were blank.Chloe inhaled deeply, forcing herself to relax. Liam will handle it, she reminded herself. He had promised to confront Mendy, and if there was one thing Liam excelled at, it was handling difficult situations. She pushed aside her worry and decided to make the most of the evening.“Mrs. Liam,” one of the maids greeted her with a polite smile, “would you like us to prepare anything for dinner?”Chloe shook her head, an idea forming in her mind. “No, I’ll take care of it tonight. I want to do something special.”The maid’s eyes widened slightly in surprise, but she didn’t protest. Chloe rarely took over in the kitchen, but tonight felt like the perf

Author’s POVMendy’s sharp eye was on Liam, his presence commanding attention. She felt the weight of her anger bubbling beneath her carefully composed exterior, but she masked it with a small smile. Her posture was relaxed, almost lazy, as if she had all the time in the world.Liam’s expression was the opposite—his jaw was clenched tight, and his fiery gaze was locked on her. Even without his Alpha aura pressing down on the room, his presence was intimidating enough. The principal, standing nearby, cleared his throat nervously.“Mr. Liam, perhaps we can—”“This doesn’t concern you,” Liam cut her off sharply, his tone cold but controlled. He turned his attention back to Mendy, his voice steady but laced with steel. “We need to talk. Alone.”The principal hesitated, but Mendy stepped forward, gesturing for him to leave. “It’s fine,” she said sweetly, her tone dripping with false politeness. “I can handle this. There’s no need to worry.” She added. The principal looked between them, he

Liam’s POV The house was eerily quiet when I stepped inside. Too quiet. I called out Chloe’s name, my voice echoing in the space. No answer. My eyes swept the living room, every corner tidy as usual, but something about the silence felt off. She hadn’t mentioned going anywhere.“Chloe?” I tried again, moving toward the kitchen. Nothing.My pulse quickened, an uneasy knot forming in my chest. I pulled out my phone and dialed her number for the third time, only to hear it ring faintly from somewhere upstairs. She wasn’t answering. I bolted up the stairs, following the sound to our bedroom, and found her phone on the nightstand, the screen lighting up with my name.“She left without it,” I muttered, running a hand through my hair.Panic began to creep in. Chloe wasn’t careless with her phone, and the thought of her being unreachable only amplified my worry. I sat on the edge of the bed, trying to think. She might have gone to her office. That seemed like the logical explanation.Without

Liam’s POV The meeting room was quiet, except for the sound of the projector humming as it displayed charts and statistics. My foreign clients sat stiffly across the table, their expressions grim. I could see the anger in their eyes, the way their eyes darted nervously. They were losing faith in me, and it was starting to show.“Your warehouses are no longer safe,” one of them said, breaking the silence. His voice was sharp, accusing. “It’s like someone knows every location. This isn’t just a coincidence, Mr. Liam. We’re being targeted.” He uttered with a greeted teeth. I leaned back in my chair, forcing a calm smile onto my face. “I understand your concerns,” I said evenly, though inside I was seething. “But I assure you, my team is handling the situation. We’ve reinforced security measures, and we’re monitoring all activities closely.” I tried to reassure them but their gaze was unyielding. “Are you sure that’s enough? This isn’t just bad luck,” one of them said, his voice cold.

Chloe’s POV The very next day, I found myself standing in front of the school, my kids clutching each of my hands. It was supposed to feel normal, dropping the kids off, and watching them run through the gates. But it didn’t. My chest tightened with each step closer to the entrance. Liam had reassured me endlessly last night, but no amount of comforting words could erase the lingering unease swirling in my mind.“Mommy, can we go now?” Aria tugged at my hand impatiently, breaking my train of thought.“Not yet, sweetheart,” I said, forcing a smile and crouching down to their level. “I need you both to promise me something. If anything feels wrong or someone says something that makes you uncomfortable, you tell your dad or come straight to me. Okay?”“Okay,” they chorused, although Asher gave me a skeptical look. He had her father’s no-nonsense expression, sharp for a six-year-old.I kissed their foreheads and sent them through the gates, my heart sinking further as they disappeared in

Chloe’s POV The first few days of Mendy’s presence at the school had been uneventful. It was almost as if she were trying to prove herself, and I couldn’t figure out why that bothered me so much. Whenever I went to drop the kids off, she would always smile to greet the kids, praising them for every little thing, acting like the perfect, doting teacher. But the way she looked at them, the way she got just a little too close, set my nerves on edge.It wasn’t even the way she treated them that bothered me. It was how my children were responding to her. Every day, it seemed, I’d hear them tell me how great Mendy was, how she helped them with this or that, how she made them feel so special. I tried to smile, to be supportive, but deep down, a jealousy I couldn’t control bubbled up inside me. I wanted them to see me that way. I wanted to be the one they ran to when they needed praise or affection.The worst part was how they’d grown so attached to her. They came home with stories about Men

Chloe’s POV The car engine hummed beneath me, but my thoughts were a constant, swirling storm. I couldn’t shake the image of Mendy’s face from my mind. Her too-sweet smile, her fake warmth toward my children—it was all wrong. Something about her felt off. I gripped the steering wheel harder, my fingers aching from the pressure. I needed to talk to Liam. I needed to hear his voice, to feel some semblance of calm, and also to inform him about Mendy. I pulled over to the side of the road, brought out my phone, and dialed his number.The phone rang twice before he picked up, his voice strained. “Chloe?”“Liam, I—” I stopped myself, trying to gather my thoughts. “I don’t know what to do. The principal introduced Mendy as the kids’ new teacher today. She’s been assigned to their class permanently. I can’t— I just can’t trust her with them.”I could hear Liam take a sharp breath on the other end of the line. He sounded tired and worn out, and I hated that. I hated that he had so much on

Chloe’s POV I couldn’t stop the guilt creeping up my spine as I marched into the principal’s office, demanding a transfer for Aria and Luis. The decision gnawed at me, a tiny voice whispering that I was letting my anger control me, but I shoved it aside. My children didn’t belong in a classroom with Mendy.“I understand your concerns, Mrs. Liam,” the principal said, her tone professional but edged with impatience. “However, I must remind you that we’re the top school in the city. Transferring them now would not only disrupt their education but limit their future opportunities.”I folded my arms, my frustration bubbling over. “And I understand that you think this is the best school, but you don’t understand the history I have with that woman. She’s not safe to be around my children.”The principal sighed, looking at me as if I were a stubborn child throwing a tantrum. “Mendy has done nothing to warrant such concerns. She’s been a model professional since she started here. I’ve reviewe

Chloe’s POV The moment the words left the principal’s mouth, I froze, every part of me stiffening like I’d been struck by lightning.“Yes,” she said, “She’ll be Aria and Luis’ teacher this year. We’re so lucky to have her, she’s been an absolute gem.”I blinked, sure I’d misheard. “I’m sorry,” I said slowly, my voice trembling with the effort to stay calm. “You’re saying Mendy is my children’s teacher? Or am I just mishearing?”“No you’re not mishearing,” the principal replied, beaming. “She graciously agreed to step in after the original teacher had an accident. We’re very fortunate to have someone so qualified and committed join us at such short notice.” She explained. I stared at her, my mind struggling to process the words. My heart began to race, panic rising in my chest. Mendy. Of all people. Why is this happening to me? “You’ve got to be joking,” I said, my voice sharper now.The principal frowned slightly, the warmth in her expression faltering. “I’m not joking, Mrs. Liam.
