Alpha's Regret: Howling For A Second Chance Book 2 Chapter 21
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 POVThe morning was quiet, and I had almost convinced myself that everything might be okay when I sat down at the kitchen table with Lucy. We were having breakfast, the kind of peaceful moment I had longed for in the chaos of the past few days. The sunlight streamed in through the kitchen windows, casting warm, golden hues across the room, and for a moment, I almost believed that life could go back to normal.But then, of course, the phone rang.I stared at it for a moment, my stomach tightening. I didn’t want to pick it up. Not today. Not after everything that had happened. I had told the kids that everything was fine, that the danger had passed, but in my heart, I knew it hadn’t. Mendy was still out there, still a threat, and I couldn’t just pretend like she wasn’t. I couldn’t just go back to normal when I felt like a storm was brewing in the background.But Lucy, sitting across from me, saw my hesitation. She raised an eyebrow, taking a sip of her coffee before nodding tow

Chloe’s POVThe moment the door closed behind me as I left Lucy’s house to make a call outside, I felt a strange mix of guilt and determination settling deep in my chest. It was as if the weight of the past few days had finally caught up with me, and now I had no choice but to face the consequences. I had been so consumed by my fear and anxiety that I hadn’t stopped to think about how it was affecting everyone around me. The paranoia, the constant worrying—it had to stop.I hadn’t even realized how weak I had become in the face of it all. The encounter with Jax and Mendy had been a breaking point for me, but now, in the quiet of the moment, I could see how beneath me it all was. I had allowed them to provoke me, to make me feel small and helpless. The way Jax had smirked at me, the way Mendy had taunted me with her threats, had eaten away at my confidence. I had let it happen.I couldn’t keep doing this. I couldn’t keep letting them control me with their words and their threats. No mo

Liam’s POVThe moment the last of the Alphas stepped out the door, I felt the uncertainty in my chest begin to loosen, just a little. We had survived this meeting, but the undercurrent of unease that lingered in my heart wasn’t going anywhere. The threats, the attacks, the mystery behind everything, it was still there, pressing on me like an invisible weight. I had tried to keep my cool, tried to act like I had everything under control. But deep down, I knew that things were falling apart faster than I could keep up with.I looked through the window only to see Chloe and Luke, walking closer. I stopped outside the room, took a breath, and prepared myself for whatever words she was about to unleash.As soon as she saw me, her eyes locked onto mine, and I knew exactly what she wanted to hear, Luke must have broken the news to her. “What the hell is going on, Liam?” Her voice was steady, but her eyes, those eyes were burning with anger and frustration. She had every right to be. Afte

Chloe’s POVI couldn’t believe it. I couldn’t believe that after everything, after all the years of trust, Liam had kept so much from me.I had walked away from him, not saying a word, my back rigid and my fists clenched. Liam had called after me, but I didn’t stop. I couldn’t look at him right now. I couldn’t hear his excuses. He had been keeping things from me. I reached the door to our room, I felt his presence behind me, felt his hand on my arm as he tried to stop me, tried to make me listen.“Chloe,” his voice was low, full of regret, but I didn’t care. I yanked my arm out of his grip, pushed the door open, and walked inside, barely glancing at him as I did.He followed me in, his footsteps heavy, but I didn’t look at him. Not yet. I couldn’t. I couldn’t look at him without seeing the man who had lied to me. I turned to face him finally, and the words came out before I could stop them.“What else, Liam?” My voice was sharp, cutting through the space between us. “What else are y

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
Alpha's Regret: Howling For A Second Chance Book 2 Chapter 39
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.
