Alex P.O.V.

I’ve been stuck at endless meetings these last couple of days, though I have made some progress as to figure out who my twin sister was. She was not who I thought she was, that one thing I know for sure. I thought Isabella was all talk, and otherwise quiet and reserved, but in town they know her as a completely different girl; funny, talkative, creative and active. She even went to the local dojo without anyone at the pack knowing. She really planned this escape from our pack into detail, making sure she would be able to defend herself.

It was the owners of the local bookshop, the Aberforths, and the librarian Miss. Wood, who got me on track with my search. Neither of them seemed very cooperative at first, probably because Isabella told them about her home and how we had all failed her, not that I blamed her - quite the opposite. I admire how she has only told just enough for them to get the picture, but not at all everything that has been going on. All the unfairness

  • Her Second Chance Alpha    Emotions and acceptance

    Isabella P.O.V. *Beep* *beep* *beep* The sound of the incisive beeping gets louder and louder in my ear until it’s almost unbearable. I can hear someone talking quietly somewhere near me, and I recognize the voices as Elijah and Lauren, with an unfamiliar female. “She’s stable, Alpha. But just by her reaction to your news, I’d say she must be suffering from PTSD or some other form of trauma related stress. Her body is not underweighted, but she’s a bit anemic and lacks vitamins etc. She’s been starving at some point, but seems to have found a food source somewhere in the last 4 years, that has helped her build her body again. I have given her some iron shots, some vitamin shots and she’ll need more when she wakes up.” The unfamiliar female says. “Thank you, doc. I didn’t know who else to call when she just fainted like that. To be honest that was the scariest thing I’ve ever witnessed.” Lauren chuckles, and Elijah snorts at her - I think. “Seriously, big brother. You are a b

  • Her Second Chance Alpha    No more packless

    Elijah P.O.V. I still can’t believe this beautiful creature in my arms accepted me back last night. I stayed here, with her in my embrace all night long. I haven’t slept that much, but it doesn’t matter. I’ve had my girl with me, and she’s slept so that’s all that matters. I’m still really angry about yesterday, and the way my mother has behaved. She will have to accept my mate, or get out of my pack. Does that make me sound like an asshole, probably. But She can’t stay here if she intends to work against the Luna. Then I don’t give a fuck who she is or used to be. She’ll either get in line or get out. We have a lot to do today, a lot to talk about and a lot to agree on. I need to get Isabella to agree to move into the pack, preferably into my room, but at the very least into the Alpha’s floor. I also need Caroline to get out of my pack, and I will banish her and make her an enemy of my pack if necessary. She’s not welcome as long as she is going to treat my mate

  • Her Second Chance Alpha    Alpha descisions

    Elijah P.O.V. I see the girls off, making sure to implore Isabella how much I want her to just have fun shopping, and she’s using my card for everything she wants. She seems doubtful the whole time, but promises me to have fun and get something for herself. As I’m not quite sure she’s going to do as I say, I whisper to Lauren to get everything she even looks at. I don’t care about the price tag, or how much they take home - if my girl looks at it, they buy it. Money is not going to be a problem - ever. After they leave for their trip, which I hope is going to be a couple of hours at least, and knowing Lauren will be most of the day. I smile to myself. Isabella will also be moving her things today, though I don’t know if she’ll be moving into our room, or a room of her own? And yes, I absolutely view the Alpha suit as our room from now on and forever. No female has ever entered the Alpha suit, if we don’t count Lauren and my mother of course, which I don’t because they are famil

  • Her Second Chance Alpha    Shopping

    Isabella P.O.V. Elijah sees us off, and even though I do not want to admit it out loud; I miss him when I get in the car and it drives down the way to the pack border. All of the guards bowed to me and Elijah, and they kept calling me Luna. That’s so strange, and I don’t know what to do with that. We have two cars - one with me, Lauren, Ashton and the driver Alrick. The other is additional guards. “Luna, do you mind if we go shopping today, and move your things after the meeting with the Green Forest pack?” Ashton asks from the front seat, and I shake my head. “No, that's fine, Ashton. But then we need to get a toothbrush as well.” Both Ashton, Lauren and the guard driving, I think his name was Alrick, laughs. “Why are you laughing? I’ll need to be able to brush my teeth.” Lauren grabs my attention. “Babe, we are going to get you everything! Toothbrush included.” I quirk an eyebrow. Everything? “What do you mean everything?” Lauren smirks.

  • Her Second Chance Alpha    Choosing my sister

    Alex P.O.V. We flew out to visit the Jewel pack, the trip only taking a couple of hours although we were flying across the country. I couldn’t help but think how long it had taken Isabella to drive here. Weeks? I sat on the private plane, my conscience bugging me more and more. I was going to see my sister again, and even though I was looking forward to seeing her, I also dreaded it. Was she going to listen to me, or was she going to refuse to talk to me all together? I kept fidgeting with the hem of my shirt. We were going to be here for a couple of days, our visit not until tomorrow. Janelle and Jeff insisted on going today and to get a feel of the town and relations between the pack and townspeople. Janelle had done as I thought and asked her father, or more like demanded him, to get out of her betrothal to me. She hadn’t thought of the raking situation, and she didn’t want to be beneath anyone. I laughed in my room later that night - bullet dodged. Now I just needed to rekindl

  • Her Second Chance Alpha    Twins, again

    Isabella P.O.V. “They are planning to do what?” Elijah asks deadly calm. I can feel his anger through our bond, but he is trying so hard to keep it bay. I take his hand in mine, stroking his knuckles, and I feel his tension lessen. He gives me a look of gratitude and love, which I return with a small smile. I’m still really new to this love and respect kind of thing, so I have no idea what to do with myself when he does that. “I’m afraid so.” Alex answered with shame all over his voice. “I disagree with this, and I have left them. I took what little belongings I traveled with and decided to put my fate in the hands of my sister instead.” Alex looks at me with soft eyes, a look I haven’t seen forever. I’ve missed my twin like hell, but the things he’s done, the things he’s said over the years. I don’t know if I can forgive him? He sighs, as if he read my mind. “Isabella. I know I haven’t been the brother you deserve since that day with the picnic, and I have no idea if

  • Her Second Chance Alpha    Morning confusion

    Elijah P.O.V. The night went peacefully. I never tried anything - one; because I know she is not ready and two; because I want everything on the table before we do. She needs to know my reputation in the world, and she needs to know the other side of me. She will see it eventually, though I wish I could hide it forever. As we went to bed, Isabella asked if I wanted her on the floor or on the couch. I was so shocked. Sure I knew some of what she’s been going through, but to be asking her mate that. I picked her up again and took her to bed. She laughed, but as we laid in bed she got shy instead. “Are you sure this is okay, Elijah? We haven’t marked each other.” She asked, and I couldn’t help the flutter in my heart. “Maybe not, but you are my mate Isa, and I will be damned if you are not in our bed when you are in our room. This is yours now, and we will get to the marking - soon hopefully.” I smirk at her and she blushes deep red. I lean over and kiss her che

    Isabella P.O.V. Elijah tells everyone the guests are here, and I can feel my heart sinking in my chest. Old memories of ridicule, mockery and shame fills me, while my new self is fighting back, telling me I am okay. Elijah loves me, though we haven’t really said it yet, and the pack will accept me, whenever I am introduced. Then the old me asks the one question I was trying to avoid; why hasn’t he presented me yet? I shake my head at the doubting voice in my head, knowing full well he would have if I had not been in the hospital because of a panic attack and yesterday I was out with Lauren, getting verbally abused by Jeff and Janelle and then moving my things with Elijah later on. Not to mention the showing up by Alex in the middle of the night. “Ashton, go out and greet the guests. Take them to the conference room, where we will be waiting.” Ashton smirks at Elijah’s orders but I feel confused. Ain’t it a costume, it's the Alpha and Luna who greets other Alpha’s? ‘He’s mak

  • Her Second Chance Alpha    Epilogue 2 - Growing up

    Isaiah P.O..V 18 years later “Happy birthday to yooooou!” I smile at the people gathered around the table. They are my people. My family and friends. But also only that. I have not yet met my mate, and this being my 22nd birthday, it’s feeling like it’ll never happen. Mom and dad have been very supportive of me, and they always tell me they will accept whatever decision I make regarding the mate situation. “Make a wish, Isaiah.” Mom urges, and I close my eyes and wish with all my heart I’ll meet my mate soon. I do not care who she is, what she is or where she is from, I just want to find her and love her. I know I sound soft and whatnot, but I so desperately want what my parents, aunts and uncles and most cousins and siblings have. True love to share my world with. But she is making me wait, and I know in my heart she’ll be worth the wait. “What did you wish for, brother?” Elise asks, her eyes twinkling in mischief. She asks every year in the hopes I’ll show and tell, but I will n

  • Her Second Chance Alpha    Epilogue 1 - family expansion

    Isabella P.O.V. Four years later Sitting in my office, I can’t help but reminisce over the last four years. So much has happened even though there has been peace. We have lived in harmony with other species for just as long, and our bond with each other has grown stronger. Isaiah is now four, and a whirlwind of energy. He is a big brother to Gabriel and Elise. They are three and one. I told Elijah I don’t want any more children, to which he replied I had to tell the Moon Goddess. If she decides to bless us a fourth time, I will be going to her world and smack her! Grandmother or not, I don’t want any more children, and so far she has listened. It also helps that we are using protection.We have been rallying the packs to meet annually, as to prevent the events of Conan from happening once again. It has been successful enough, but we still have yet to get the border packs - those who have lands leading up to dragon territory, fae territory and demon territory, to come as well. The l

  • Her Second Chance Alpha    New life

    Elijah P.O.V. Two months later “ELIJAH!” I rush into the hospital room where Isa is still admitted. The doctors were not comfortable with sending her home, as she kept getting contractions whenever she over exerted herself, and she did that a lot. Even laying in the hospital bed. But here they, and I, could tell her to relax and not stress the body so much. Not that she listened very well.“Baby, what is it?” She’s out of bed, and her leggings are drenched. “My water just broke. I think.” She answers, her eyes wide and scared. We are almost to term, but not quite there yet either. Doctors said he would be early because of the trauma, but this early? This feels too early. “Don’t just stand there. Get a doctor or nurse or something!” She demands, while waddling to the toilet. Her voice and movement snaps me back to reality. “Where the fuck are you going?” I ask, quickly grabbing her arm and helping her to her destination. “My pants are soaked, and I have to pee really bad.” She an

  • Her Second Chance Alpha    Story time in the hospital

    Isabella P.O.V. “Why do you always end up in the hospital, Isa?” Lauren asks, as she bends down and gives me a hug. I stick my tongue out at her, and gesture for Elijah to help me sit up. He gives me a look, but I just plead with my own eyes. He sighs and stands. I love how he can resist me, even when I did something he did not at all approve of. I love this man to death! “Why are you always so snarky?” I ask back, as she chuckles, and sits down. Her mate stands behind her, placing his hands on her shoulders. Elijah growls at the contact, and I swat him across the chest as he is helping me sit up. He just raised an eyebrow. “Shut up, and help me dammit.” I whine, and he shakes his head in exasperation. “What do you think I am doing, woman?” He asks back, and I just purse my lips in a ‘do you really want me to answer that?’ sort of way. He sighs. “Don’t answer that.” He caves and I smile. When I’m in a much better talking position, I turn my head to the couple on my left. They hav

  • Her Second Chance Alpha    The Challenge (Part two)

    Isabella P.O.V.We wait for another minute before Conan walks into the middle of the ground. I think he wanted Kimmie and her disturbed friends to examine nothing was amiss, but they wouldn’t know. We used magic long forgotten, on the request of Ashlee to her mother. She wanted this particular surprise to be something they never saw coming. We know Elijah and Fenris will beat Conan and his wolf in a fair one-on-one fight, but we also know he would never go into such a fight without a backup - hence Kimmie and her bag of twisted tricks. The grounds light up in a golden color when both wolves are in the middle facing each other. Kimmie screeches, holding her hands over her eyes. Her friends do the same, hissing and cursing. “What the fuck was that?” She screams, her eyes clouding over for a split second and the clearing because she can’t get ahold of Conan. Her eyes search for the golden color, seeing it goes around the whole perimeter of the ground where Conan’s wolf and Fenris are

  • Her Second Chance Alpha    The Challenge (Part one)

    Elijah P.O.V.I try and try again to tell Isabella to get her and the baby to safety, but she is adamant to come with me, and honestly? I cannot blame her with everything that happened the last time we were attacked. I still wonder how this can happen with the magical barrier Ashlee and Milan set up, but then I remember we talked about this the last time, and Ashlee said the enemy’s own magic user could take it down if they are strong enough, or have strength in numbers. I guess that is what happened here. We’ll have to take a look after, and see where we can do better defense wise. Isabella is riding on Fenris’s back, using her powers and her connection with the pack lands to take down enemy wolves everywhere. If I thought she was scary before, it is nothing compared to now. After she has been bound to the pack and land through marriage with me and the Luna position through my mother, she has a way better understanding of the layout and where to strike. She keeps communicating with

  • Her Second Chance Alpha    From happiness to chaos

    Isabella P.O.V. I can’t believe Thalia would show up, but on the other hand I also understand why she is here. She wants to see her son get married, but I have this weird feeling about her intentions. I wonder if she is really reformed or if she is playing the act really well. I guess we’ll see later. There is nothing I can or will do now, but I know everyone is on edge and keeping an eye out for her. I also am aware Elijah expects Conan to attack up before the day is over. This gathering of all his enemies in one place would be too much for him to not do anything. But I am just wondering if he really thinks it would be smart to attack today? Maybe he’ll wait until the morning after? I mind-link Caspar and Nestor about my thoughts, and they promise me they have everything under control. They have thought every scenario through. “Darling, are you ready?” Dad asks me, and I turn around to see something shine in his eyes. I smile. “Are you crying?” I ask back without answering his qu

  • Her Second Chance Alpha    Wedding surprise

    Elijah P.O.V. The day has gone by in a blur of events. The most scary one by far being Isabella and the others being followed by Conan’s cronies. Luckily they all arrived safely on the pack lands, but I upped the security around the border, just in case. Around 5.30pm the guests are starting to arrive, and I make sure to be the polite host who greets them outside the packhouse, and Omegas show them to the backyard. All of the packs, Covens and vampire families we contacted said yes to come, and I couldn’t be more proud of the work we have put in to mend the bonds between our species. We might be different, but we are also very alike. Everyone wants to celebrate true love. I made sure to implore them all to ensure their families safety while they are gone, as we all agree this event will be too much of a temptation for Conan to not attack us. We are actually expecting him to. I have not discussed this with Isabella. I do not want to worry her, but I have this feeling we’re going to

  • Her Second Chance Alpha    Wedding preparations (Part Two)

    Elijah P.O.V. I’m in my office with all the guys. They are not happy I asked their mates to accompany Isabella to town today. Especially when I told them to have some mate time with the girls, but when I tell them the reason they all agree this is important. They ask what they can do, and I delegate the tasks between them. Dale is in charge of getting food together - shopping, preparing and making. He is actually a genius in the kitchen, so I am confident he can get everyone to work together and make this happen. We talked about a small ceremony, but what Isabella doesn’t know is that I am planning to include all the pack, and guests from outside. We know Conan will attack soon, and what better way to gather our allies than to invite them to our wedding tonight. I just hope they can make it. I ask Cedric to be the happy messenger of invitations. He is still well respected and an Alpha. They will listen to him. I will call the Covens and vampire families myself. “Elijah, do you mi
