Her Second Chance Alpha Caroline's past
#Caroline's perspective#After the training is over, I look over at Axel. He didn't have to say anything or act any differently. As always, I knew he had something on his mind. I always know. Before, it was his father being an asshole, but ever since his mother's death, it became deeper, more painful. Like a void in his chest.Sometimes, when the forest is quiet and we are on patrol, our eyes lock and for a brief second I can feel it too."Before you start ranting, I want to say something. You have the worst possible taste in women! What on earth were you thinking allowing Tania to pull you into the janitor closet?"Despite the sadness surrounding him, he laughs."I was bored and I wanted sex, my darling. And since my girlfriend won't do it with me, I will take it from someplace else."Girlfriend... My heart skips a beat when he says it now. And I hate it. When we agreed on this charade, I told myself a kiss or two for show won't mean anything. Sitting on his lap during the history cl

"You play dirty!" Caroline complains after I throw her off my back, right into a tree. She took her human form before I could even turn around, so I look away in an instant. "For the love of the Moon Goddess, you need to stop that! There's nothing here that you didn't see before! Now take your human form!"I have a few choice words at the idea, but unfortunately she is right and I just have to get used to seeing naked people all the time. It's either this or... her other idea. Apparently, if you don't grow out of this shyness by the time you are eighteen, you are ordered to walk around the pack grounds watching bad porn at full volume for an entire week. Hard to be embarrassed around people that have seen you like that..."You know, I've never seen people actually do it.""Oh, Goddess! No one does. Can you imagine the horror?" Caroline shakes her head and inspects the tree that she just hit. A few branches are broken and there's a deep scratch on her back that's healing quite fast. "Y

"I need you!" Axel whispers in between sharp breaths. "I want you!"My back hits the bed, bare as the shirt I was wearing was lost in the hallway, torn to pieces by the fire that was burning between us. Axel jumps on top of me, struggling to escape the prison of his clothes without taking his eyes off of me."Fuck it!" He shouts before ripping his shirt off with the claws that are now shinning in the dimly lit room. The pants get shreded too, falling in small pieces all around the floor. His eyes darken as he allows the animal inside to take control and his heartbeat gets calmer. He freezes for a second, a hunter holding his breath, waiting for me to make one move before he could devour."Axel!" I whisper, not wanting to stop even for a second.Because if I stopped, then the regret, the doubts, the cold harsh logic would was over me and the fire that is burning my chest would turn to ashes. And maybe that would be for the better. Maybe if I do that, I won't feel like shit tomorrow mor

"No!" The Alpha doesn't wait for me to finish my sentence. I am quite certain he was preparing to reject whatever my request was going to be from the moment I entered his office. And as I point that out, he laughs."You have a certain look on your face when you're about to ask something outrageous, Rose. It's like you get excited at the prospect of outraging me.""And yet, every request I made proved to be advantageous to the pack. Don't think I haven't heard that the Alphas are fighting for audiences with you. I don't even ask to come with you. Yet. I just want to make a semi-official visit to two packs. Two. It's not that bad.""You're asking me to send someone who wasn't even entirely part of the pack a year ago on a diplomatic visit to our closest allies. Without an explanation."Ah, yes... The explanations. Everyone wants one ever since I got Nala and started to screw with the rogues more than three generations of packs before ever could. And the more time passes, the more relent

"On our way now" I shoot Damon a message as we get into the car. Me, Axel and Caroline... the greatest trio of all time. I would actually laugh at the irony, if I wouldn't feel so god damn uncomfortable right now.Last evening, the Beta proposed Caroline joined us for the trip as she misses her older brother and our visit to the MoonWalk would be a perfect opportunity for them to see each other... and for her to spy on us so the Beta knows every detail of it. I wasn't surprised that he proposed it, as I already knew he was not happy the Alpha allowed us to go, but I didn't expect him to throw Caroline under the bus."You should have." Nala chimes in and the sudden voice in my head almost gives me a heart attack."Knock, Nala! Please!""On what, girl?"I sigh. Goddess knows I'll never get used to sharing my mind with someone else."He must have noticed how Caroline looks at Axel. How she's in pain when he holds my hand or smiles at me. Sending her was... unnecessarily cruel. He could h

"I see..." Alpha Carson didn't say much during the entire explanation except to ask a few questions, but now, that we reached the end of Damon's speech, he seems lost for words entirely."I thought the Moon Goddess didn't want us to tell the entire truth to anyone." I whisper to Damon as we wait for the Alpha to collect himself."The Moon Goddess can go suck a dick!" He lets out a small growl, enough to know he's pissed, but not enough to attract the Alpha's attention. Nala growls too, in response to the venom in his voice."What happened?""I managed to comnune with her before coming here. And at this point, she just pisses me off. She could have stopped this a long time ago. She had the power to. She can also just appear to all the Alphas in their dreams and tell them to just fight. No need for all this drama, for all the people I lost fighting a war that she could have prevented. And when I asked, she said the eternal bullshit of I gave all my children free will, I can not interven

"I was not smart as a child! I swear that I was blessed with a brain at the age of ten. Before that, my survival was pure luck!" Damon sighs as I'm on the ground laughing."I still don't believe it! No one would think that if they don't look down, gravity won't work! And why didn't you test it from something lower, why directly a fucking cliff?""I thought it needed to be high for it to work!" He shouts, putting all his soul in trying to convince me."Damon!""My father forbade me from looking at cartoons after that! It was horrible because I was stuck in the hospital for a month. He would bring me books. Books!""Poor you! Was it then that you were blessed with a brain?""Not even. Some friends would sneak me comic books.""You never talk about your friends from the pack..." I say and instantly regret it as he cheerful tone changed completely."We grew apart when I started to ask too many questions. They were comfortable with the way things were and didn't want to be dragged into a m

"Why the fuck didn't you run away with Axel and Damon?" I shout at Caroline. Or, at least, I try to shout in her direction as the dungeon is so dark I can't see where she is."You didn't order me to run." Her voice is so calm that it just pisses me off. It's like it's another Thursday afternoon for her."Oh, my bad then. I guess I didn't expect that I need to. Even more I thought that an order for me to go would have made you want to stay. Just because!""You are a member of my pack that was about to be taken away by the enemy. I know you don't like me, Rose, but not even you would be stupid enough to think I'd just run away and leave you behind."I am so damn close to tell her that she killed me before, not just abandoned me. She also led her pack to certain destruction to protect the enemy. But I have to remind myself that that Caroline is dead and the one sitting next to me in a dungeon knows nothing about our past life."If I wouldn't have gotten Nala, would you stand by me?" I as

Her Second Chance Alpha Happy ending
"Damon! We really need to hurry!" I try to sound assertive, but it sounds more like a moan. His hand is roaming under my shirt , leaving a burning sensation of pure desire on every inch of skin he touches. I get drunk with his smell, his presence, his love. So much so, that it worries me what I will do when the mate bond finally snaps into place. Will we ever leave this room?But to find that out we really need to leave. Like five minutes ago.I manage to peel Damon off of me with the promise of tonight being our first time as mates and with that we are out the door to Caroline's Alpha ceremony.We drive by the southern packs that managed to rebuild most of what was destroyed in the war. By how things are going, they will become fully independent again in less than a year."The road helped a lot of them connect to resources." I say, proud that we could make it real. My grandma started it by telling me how nice it would be to be able to just drive to her cousin's pack in the north. Wit
Her Second Chance Alpha The end of the war
Werewolves don't fight in daylight. I think it's one of the first things I remember my teacher saying, way before I could truly comprehend the meaning of it. It was fine until a century or two ago when, if any unlucky human saw anything they would have been considered mad, but now, with phones and cameras in everyone's pocket?We are wolves in the shadow, humans in the light.We were. Until this war. Until the rogues broke every rule we have ever been taught and we had to push ourselves out of everything that felt right in order to defeat them.Once the sun starts to rise, and the piles of bodies gather around the open field, every instinct screams at me to run. To hide. I see everyone around me feeling the same, everyone remembering what we've been taught. Except our enemy, who teached their children that victory must come at any price.I see people so tired, they can't maintain their wolf form. They fall on their knees, so tired they don't raise their heads when the enemy bites off
Her Second Chance Alpha It's on, bitch
"This time, everything will work perfectly." Damon seemed confident, even though that never happened before. And I really, really wanted to believe him, mostly because I needed to, but also because he made it seem so real. Like we had a chance.But that chance slips a little bit through my fingers with every look the council throws at each other. Or even worse, with every look they sneak in Thomas' direction. Waiting for him to take a decision, to take the lead. And unfortunately, Thomas is not desperate, he is young and has all the time to be cautious and smart about his decisions.After a bit of bickering, the king explains his reasoning in an avalanche of ill-fitted sentences."It would be unwise to march, while we lose the base." Someone comments."This is absurd!" Thomas finally bursts and shouts at his father. "Damon doesn't have enough men to take over the pack. We left enough warriors there to make sure of that. We can't march back, wasting everything because you got informati
Her Second Chance Alpha Silence before the storm
On the second night of the funeral march, once we reach the fourth pack that abandoned their territory, I see Thomas starting to put things together. His father calmed down a lot and is now advancing slower, making sure the sentinels spread in between the bases and the army can maintain the pack link and keep the communication open. No shadow of the Strychnos plant.That's not good."This doesn't feel right." I say to Thomas as we find ourselves walking next to each other."Why are you scared? Even if it's a trap, your mate will protect you. No one will jump to punish a Moon Priestess.""Yeah... But..." I let the silence speak as I look at the ground. I know Thomas looks at me so I brush my hair off my face so he can see my teary eyes."But you're not sure." Thomas tries to sound sympathetic, but I would be a fool not to feel the satisfaction in his voice."He is my mate, he would... protect me.""You know, every time you say the story of your past life, there is one detail that doesn
Her Second Chance Alpha Strychonos plant
Caroline is standing so close to me, I can feel her breath on the back of my head. The king wanted her to be on the other side of the little funeral march as Damon called it, but Caroline looked ready to snap a few necks before she would be separated from me."As long as my pack stands, she is my Luna! It is my duty to protect her or die trying!" None of the men in the office questioned her determination, so she was allowed to act as my bodyguard if it came down to it."Wish you'd have been as determined in the last life too." I can't help but clap at her as we make our way to the MoonWalk pack's borders."Yeah... me too." She answers, to my surprise. Usually, when I make remarks like this she counters with the fact that I wasn't powerful or useful enough to be accepted, let alone respected as Luna. She must sense my surprise because she's quick to explain. "I know. That's what I thought all my life, but... I know Omegas who wouldn't have betrayed the pack for all the power in the wor
Her Second Chance Alpha The trap is set
"Your friend was put in another room." Thomas is by my side when I wake up, gently pressing an ice bag on the left side of my head. But even with that, I can feel every second of Caroline's training throbbing in my head. I bite my lip as i get up and make sense of my surroundings, mostly of the little silver bracelet that stands as proof of the fact that I am not a good liar. If I would have, the king would have trusted me by now."It's fine... I deserved it." I tell him as I grab the hand he offers to help me stand up. He holds it for a second longer than he should and I realize I was staring at him. Well, not at him, at every feature that reminds me of Damon."I'm sorry about earlier. I just... A lot of things happened at once and...""It's ok." No it was not and he is a piece of crap, but if I can't fool the father maybe I can the son? "I was surprised since you said you have a girlfriend and you know... I have a mate.""Yeah... She really doesn't want to be involved with this so s
Her Second Chance Alpha You are not my mate, Rose
"I haven't seen you freeze like that since you got a wolf." Caroline snarls at me as she closes the door after us."I wanted to test something.""And?""And it confirmed that the off feeling I had about Thomas was because he was… interested not because of something more sinister." I answer while trying to use the pack link to tell her that she can't, in fact, trust Thomas. But despite everything, I am still blocked."Remind me to complain about this logistics flaw to the Goddess. She can't lock me out forever." I say to Nala, but the ancient she-wolf is not in the mood for joking."She has enough on her plate. You need to find a way to return to the meeting and warn them!""She can't see what is going on?""To make your mate's prison stronger, she locked herself in too. They have no connection to the outside. The only reason you were able to wake up was because I pulled you out by force." Nala explains and my last hope of a plan finally working, as Damon promised, gets tossed down the
Her Second Chance Alpha Liar brother
I am shaken awake by Caroline, who has a terrified expression on her face. I almost jump out of bed when I see her, but as soon as I open my eyes, she sighs in relief."You sleep like you're on fucking drugs!" She snaps after I ask her what the hell happened. One second I was sitting with Damon in front of a very angry gathering of Alphas, the next, I am pulled back by Nala in a panick.I hear a loud bang on the door before Thomas' voice comes through, full of annoyance and urgency."Listen here, you little pack girl, you have one minute to wake her or I'll..." He doesn't get the chance to finish that pseuodo-threat because I open the door."What the hell happened?""So you're not in a coma.""Oh, come on! I am a good sleeper, but this is ridiculous. And it's not even morning yet!" I point at the pitch black sky outside, wondering how on earth did they figure everything out so fast."Apparently, some Alphas, if not all of them are in some type of coma. Our spies reported that they wou
Her Second Chance Alpha No one leaving
The Alphas who agreed to help from the start moved closer, pushing the rest to the side so we can discuss a thing or two. I can see Axel with the corner of my eye, but I don't have the courage to face him yet. In the explaining that I did earlier, I had to mention a few things that involved him in the past life and I know he is hurt, but... this requires a longer and more private conversation.Fortunately, everyone is so caught with the entire war thing that no one thinks to ask why Damon stands next to me instead of my mate.Everyone but Luna Karina. When everyone spreads out for a small break, she approaches me with a stormy expression. Damon takes the hint and walks away, all the eyes following him like he's a jailer. With a straight posture and a half-smile, I can see he's enjoying it more than he should, though."I tried to break through this dream a few times. Just like the other Alphas surely did too. I tried to connect with anyone from my pack to try and wake me, but that was
