Book 2 Chapter 6

Chloe’s POV

As soon as Liam and the investigator stepped out of his office, I moved to block their path.

My heart was pounding, I couldn’t keep waiting in the dark. “What did you find out?” I demanded, crossing my arms as I looked between the two of them.

Liam tried to brush me off, his usual calm demeanor in place. “Chloe, take a breath. We haven’t found out much yet.” He explained but I know him too well, he can't lie to me unless I want to play along.

But now I’m not going to buy his lies. “What do you mean, ‘not much’? You’re hiding something. I can tell.”

The investigator, exchanged a look with Liam, a silent agreement passing between them before he mumbled a quick goodbye and walked away.

As he passed, I caught sight of Liam leaning in, whispering something under his breath that I couldn’t make out. My patience snapped.

“What was that?” I asked, my voice sharp as I turned to Liam. “What were you whispering to him about?”

He hesitated, just for a second, befo

  • Alpha's Regret: Howling For A Second Chance   Book 2 Chapter 7

    Book 2 Chapter 7Liam’s POV My eyes glued on a spaced, my mind reeled with the thought of Mendy and Jax, how dangerous my family can be with their presence. I’d have loved to keep Chloe unaware of all this but she’s too persistent to let go. She hadn’t learned about Mendy being Jax’s Luna what if she did? Her worry would be multiple feelings I don’t like seeing. “So, how’s Chloe holding up?” Luke’s voice broke through my thoughts as he looked over at me, a hint of worry in his eyes.I let out a sigh, running a hand over my face. “She’s… coping, but there’s this constant edge to her. She’s a little paranoid, to be honest. And I don’t blame her.” I glanced out the window, where the sun was starting to dip below the horizon. “After everything she’s been through with Jax and Mendy, I can’t blame her for not feeling safe.”Luke nodded, his expression darkening as he took in my words. “Yeah, it’s a lot to handle. Jax was bad enough, but now Mendy’s back, and apparently, she’s even more d

    Book 2Chapter 8 Liam’s POV I sat down in my office, my ears open wide as I conversed with Luke about the security in the pack. Going over the latest on pack security. We’d been working non-stop since the threat of Jax and Mendy loomed larger. Despite their rocky history and Mendy’s twisted ways, she was now mated to Jax and, by extension, had his loyalty. That was a problem, especially now that Jax’s pack was stronger than ever, apparently revived by someone’s influence. Someone who’s still in the shadow cause I know very well that after what I did to Jax he can’t restrict himself. Luke, nodded thoughtfully as I updated him on the latest precautions. “I get it, My Alpha,” he said, leaning forward to take a look at the drawing map at hand. “But I think we’re in a good place now. Security’s tighter than ever, and if anything goes sideways, we’ll be the first to know. Our scouts have increased rotations along the borders, and the trackers have been trained to pick up any unusual s

    Book 2 Chapter 9 Chloe’s POV I felt my heart rate pick up as Liam’s eyes fixed on me, hard and probing, like he was trying to read what was going on in my mind. I tried to smile, to make light of the tension sitting heavily between us, but his expression didn’t change. He knew me too well to buy it.“Can you answer my good damn question,” he said quietly his tone holding a hint of annoyance and like he was running out of the patient. “What’s going on? You’ve been different since Mendy got out, and keeping the kids home—it’s unlike you.” He pressed further. I shifted uncomfortably, looking away. I didn’t want to talk about it, didn’t want to admit what was clawing at my mind every minute of every day. “It’s nothing. Just wanted them around for a little longer, that’s all.” I lied knowing fully he’d not buy my lies, he knew me better than that. “Chloe.” His tone held that mixture of patience and persistence that I could never really ignore. “We’ve been through too much for you to

    Book 2 Chapter 10 Chloe’s POVLiam hadn’t taken well to my decision to keep the kids home from school. Though he’d reluctantly agreed at first, I could tell it weighed on him, gnawed at him. Every so often, he’d bring it up, calm but persistent, insisting that he could protect the kids, that our lives could return to normal if I’d just trust him. I knew he meant well, but he didn’t feel the same ever-present fear I did. He hadn’t experienced Mendy’s wrath the way I had.No matter how much he tried to reassure me, I couldn’t shake the sense that danger was lurking just outside our walls. As long as Mendy was free, that threat felt all too real, an itch I couldn’t scratch away. I couldn’t understand why Liam didn’t see it. To him, life moved forward, challenges resolved and swept aside. But I still felt the weight of it every day. I’d told him time and again, I couldn’t send the kids back until I knew we were safe.Today I had decided I needed a break. I needed someone else’s perspect

    Book 2 Chapter 11Chloe’s POV I excused myself from the living room to answer the call, my mind already tangled in curiosity. I didn’t recognize the number, and the timing felt strange, so many unknown calls had come through in the past few days that I’d started ignoring them. But this one… something compelled me to answer.“Hello?” I said, my voice was low as I stepped into the hallway.I was expecting to hear the reply but, nothing came up. Just silence. My hand tightened around the phone.Lucy glanced at me as she returned from the kitchen, eyebrows raised. “Everything okay?”I shrugged, trying to play it off, though I knew my face probably betrayed my discomfort. “Probably a wrong number. Just… strange.”She chuckled, brushing it off with a wave of her hand. “Oh, you know how it is. Half the calls I get are spam these days. Just ignore it.”I nodded, trying to follow her advice, even as a small knot of worry formed in my chest. I was about to put the phone down and brush it off w

    Book 2Chapter 12Chloe’s POV I paced around the room, feeling the anxious energy churn inside me, every second dragging by. My mind was a whirlpool of questions, and none of them had answers. What kind of person sends those kinds of messages? Who would want to terrify me like this?I waited patiently for the arrival of Liam who had gone to track down the number who had sent me the message. Every hour, I’d glance at the window checking if I’d see Liam arriving but no he was nowhere to be found. I slipped my finger inside my lips, bitting slowly anticipating the arrival of Liam, I hoped they were able to track down the person. Suddenly I heard footsteps coming closer, I rushed to the door but before I could get there, the door swung open revealing Liam, his expression hardened and frustrated. The moment our eyes met, I could sense he wasn’t here with reassuring words. My heart sank, but I needed to know what he’d found.“Liam, did you track the calls? The messages?” I asked, practi

    Book 2 Chapter 13Liam’s POV The evening draped over the house like a heavy, oppressive weight, I looked down at Chloe lying beside me, and I felt a pang of guilt settle in my chest. Her face was swollen and puffy from hours of crying, it reminded me of just how much she was suffering, and it was a suffering I felt responsible for. The fear, the torment she was going through, it was tearing her apart.I brushed a hand over her hair, feeling the anxiety on my shoulders as I tried to keep myself steady. Watching her fall apart today had shaken me more than I wanted to admit. She’d always been strong, and resilient. But this, this was different. The threats had gotten under her skin. And no matter how much I tried to tell her I was going to protect her, I could see that part of her believed she was on her own.I couldn’t just sit here and do nothing, I had to find something to do, even if I had to risk my life, I didn’t mind as long as I was able to put an end to this threat.

    Book 2Chapter 14 Liam’s POV I pulled into the driveway, and the sight of both Mr. Daniel and Scott waiting by the front entrance gave me pause. I hadn’t expected either of them to be here, let alone together, and the fact they’d waited outside rather than coming inside was enough to put me on edge.I parked the car and stepped out, greeting them with a wary nod. “Evening,” I said, looking between the two men. “Didn’t think I’d see you both here tonight. Why didn’t you just come inside?”Scott met my gaze briefly before looking over at his father, who seemed tense like he was holding onto something heavy. Luke, who had walked out with me, looked like he was about to slip away, but Scott stopped him with a hand on his shoulder. “Stay, You’re a part of this, too.”That got my attention. My gaze shifted to Mr. Daniel, and he looked away for a moment like he was gathering himself. I knew him well enough to see he was stalling, and whatever he’d come to say wasn’t going to be easy to he

  • Alpha's Regret: Howling For A Second Chance   Book 2 chapter 68

    Chapter 68. Chloe's POV. Lia placed right in front of me, with her hands safely at her sides, looking at me as though she needed more explanation as to why I had not taken a firm decision. "You need to tell me that you suspect that she might have something to do with this and was even talking about it yet you left? Tell me something else, and I would readily believe, but not this. Why are you so calm to a fault?" She mumbled under her breath. I didn't want to disgrace myself in that place. "I need to go back and knock some sense into her head because she sounds senseless. How can she even say that?" She demanded, whistling in fury."I think we should focus on more important things than fighting my sister for not showing up despite everything that has happened. I don't think Liam is well and would focus on that while Scott handles the other issues." I responded with a small smile, also hoping that this would help her calm downHer eyes tripled in size as she looked at me, "I woul

    Chapter 67. Chloe's POV. Back at my house, I was a bit worried about what could be done to harm me anytime soon because if someone was so pertinent about doing something like this, then they had every intention to even go deeper, making me a bit worried. I decided to seek Mendy out, she had to have answers for everything that had been happening so far. I bumped into Scott on my way out and I was just a little bit worried for the look of excitement I saw in his eyes. He had probably done something pretty insane and was proud of himself which I didn't know how to feel about it. "Where are you off to?""Nowhere in particular, I was trying to talk to Mendy and see what she would have to say concerning the issue at hand because now I'm beginning to wonder why she has been wasting so much time to give me answers."He looked at me with slightly widened eyes, a bit locked in but still very anxious so I decided to speak with him at length to kind of figure out what exactly was going on.

  • Alpha's Regret: Howling For A Second Chance   Book 2 chapter 66

    Chapter 66.Chloe's POV. I rushed straight down to the dungeons so that I could meet up with the scientist who had been imprisoned. If I was able to get more information from him, it meant that I was settled but if I wasn't, then I would have to do a lot more just to prove how interesting this was. "Having an initial contact with you I would never have imagined that you would not tell the truth when it is presented to you because of everyone I felt like you would be better." I said immediately I spotted him, looking far off. The man truly looked dejected and I couldn't help but feel sorry for him but it could probably be a lie because that was the way most of them behaved and I had no choice but to do what I could. I stopped moving around and watched his countenance go from being pleased to annoyed in one second. He had a lot to tell me but was holding back. "You are going to remain in this dungeon for a long time and never see your family again. I'm sure that is not what you wa

    Chapter 65. Chloe's POV. "It has been revealed that there was something in his food." My heart skipped a bit that the revelation because this was completely beyond what I was expecting in any shape or form. My eyes were focused on what was more necessary than just waiting for answers My wolf package hard time believe it that it was probably just poison. It's substance was not mentioned and that was a huge red flag on its own. Someone had to explain to me in layman's term why the autopsy results didn't reveal anything favorable. There were a lot of things to think about but one of the things that stood out for me was the way the scientist switched carefully while staring at me. This was an explanation that could not be done without and I was expecting more. Scott glanced at me as though we shared the same sentence and he coughed. "Whatever way I know that we still need to talk." He said. The living room was plunged into greater silence as we waited for the answers to be m

  • Alpha's Regret: Howling For A Second Chance   Book 2 chapter 64

    Chapter 64. Chloe's POV.Awaiting the autopsy was not even a great idea. All that Chloe thought about was to make her father get the justice he deserved. The insane amount of mishaps that had come into her life the past few days was not to be reckoned with, and she felt like there had to be a means of tackling this without feeling weak or weary from any angle. Her kids didn't even think that their actions had a long-lasting impact.She picked up my phone to call Scott, "what is happening." Liam was less concerned with what was happening, so she needed to get my answers myself. "I don't want you to think so much about everything that has been going on because it's not going to help either of us, but there is only one way that we can achieve our goals, which is by waiting for the result. Then I would know what to do." Scott said. Chloe didn't understand why he was wasting so much time confronting their sister when it was almost getting clear that her father had been murdered, prob

  • Alpha's Regret: Howling For A Second Chance   Chapter 63

    Chapter 63. Chloe's POV I was on my way to my father's room when I stopped halfway, taking a giant sneeze; I found out that the youngest for them wasn't something even important at all. Instead, it was only her next move. Evil when she's poked against, she's poked against close powerful. I could see the way things began to drum in a sarcastic manner. I believed that everything was going to work out for good, but at the same time, I needed to be as careful as I should. I stopped in front of his room and contemplated how my next statement was going to affect him. I needed new people to understand the mood of the population and abide by it, not those who are ready to change me at every cost. Without him clamoring to have some sort of land or power to himself it's made everyone appear in their natural state just to make it very relatable. "I have always had problems with you because of how decided to represent everything that you are and own." I heard someone's voice ringing

    Chapter 62. Chloe's POV. My heart pounded in my ribcage, trying to find out if my child was fine. Why hadn't Lia called me if there was an issue? She was the only person that I trusted too much to call me about what was happening. As soon as I headed into the room, I didn't understand what was going on at first but decided to take a deep breath just to see what was happening. I pushed the door open and so Aria hooked up with different drips running through her veins, looking pale. My heart skipped a bit as I rushed her to her side. Ignoring Liam, who was sitting beside her and looking at me as though I was the devil spawn, I looked at her and back at him. "What happened to her?" "You went away for so long and appeared out of nowhere to ask what happened to her. How interesting!" I shut my eyes in shock. This was absolutely not what I was looking for. I needed something very important, such as a damn reason why this was happening. "Apparently I think that you didn't he

My dad sat on the chair in front of me watching carefully, as I progressed towards where he was sitting and also looking carefully. "You are unhappy. I can feel it. Why is that?" I knew that if I opened my mouth to start speaking immediately I would burst into tears, uncontrollable ones at that. My eyes welled up with tears but I realized that for me to continue this way it was going to make me look even more weak. "I wanted to report certain things to you. I need you to call Mendy. She has been getting on my nerves for so long now and I would appreciate it if you called her to order. She isn't a lost cause yet until we agree that she is not worth it." I said, hoping that she had not come here to report before I did and render my testimony invalid. Gazing at me intently, my father finally spoke, "if she ha

He should be able to find answers for yours because that's the only way I would be free to do what I have in mind." Lia said, Without further ado, I headed to his office and realized that he was a little bit busier than I thought so I waited a bit."Hey! Is anything the matter?" He asked, a bit anxious just to find out why I had decided to call on him. 'I need to tell you something very important and I hope that we should be able to rub minds together. I have pondered on this for so long and still have not come up with an answer that is suitable." I started. His eyes widened slightly, looking at me for a minute. "May I know the reason for this discussion?" He asked while scanning the environment, his heart pumping visibly underneath his tight shirt. I had a lot of reservations when it came to opening up to people but I knew he was someone that I could trust and wou
