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

"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
Last Updated : 2024-08-20Her 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

"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

"Rose…” His voice, like fine whiskey, smooth with a slow burn that lit me up from the inside.My body is not mine to control anymore; my mind doesn’t belong to me. I try to turn around, I try to open my eyes, but in vain. The pressure of a body over me holds me prisoner between the soft sheets as a man touches me with a sense of pure adoration that makes me shiver. When I moan, unable to hold it in anymore, he growls in my ear, like the sound of my pleasure takes away all his human restrain, allowing him to become like the beast his is hiding under the skin.“Damon!” I find myself calling a name that I don’t recognize. But in fact, I can barely recognize my own voice now. So full of need, pleading for more and more until I melt entirely under his touch.“I’ve waited so long… Too long.” He whispers, his voice playful, yet so far from a joking now. “I don’t know how gentle I can manage to be, my dear mate.”“Then don’t be!” I didn’t know if the words come out as an order or a plea. “Clai

"Why? Why? Why?" I ask, tears running down my mud-stained face. "I am one of you too! I try my best! Even if you don’t like me, why do you have to be so mean?"Caroline stands in front of me. Only thirteen, but she’s already tall and beautiful, like a model. She’s also strong, the greatest pup in our group. She is everything I ever wanted to be, but I know I never will."Because you are not one of us!" She replies, her voice so cold it freezes the blood in my veins. "So do us a favor and just die already!"The rest of the group seems taken aback too. They were laughing a second ago as I guess, me being pushed into the mud was funny, but once the word "die" comes out of her mouth, the giggles and piggy noises stopped completely. That was a bit much… Even for the cruelest of them. And the worst part? She didn’t even sound like she was trying to be mean; she was sincere."Cut it out, Caroline. If you have time to make fun of others, you have time to train," Axel intervenes, coming towards

The morning finds me still awake. It was kind of foolish of me to think that I might go to sleep after what happened. Every time I tried to close my eyes, I saw Axel's eyes glowing with lust in my mind. I couldn't bear it. If I had stared at that image for too long, I would have thrown away the blankets and run to the pack house to finish what we started earlier.Mates… the word reverberates in my head over and over, like an echo of fate. But something still feels wrong, unnatural, and I can’t shake it off. And it’s not just our past. It’s like my body is burning for him, my soul is begging to be close to him, my heart wants him like it never wanted anything else, and yet, I feel like… like…"Rose? It's time to wake up. You are going to be late." My mom hesitantly whispers as she peeks inside my room. I shake off the confusing thoughts."I am awake..." I sighed and get up."How are you feeling, love? Do you want to talk about what happened last night?"When we arrived back home, I lock

The word didn't manage to leave Caroline's lips for more than a second before she was sent flying to the other side of the classroom.I hear her skull crack when it makes contact with the wall before she slides down on the floor, staring at her boyfriend in disbelief. Everyone takes a step back from Axel, but no one jumps to help her.If Axel has decided that she deserved that, that meant that even her minions have to agree."Thanks..." I manage to whisper, but he doesn't look at me. A soft murmur breaks the shocked silence. People are looking at Axel and spreading gossip around.Caroline manages to pull herself together and her eyes are now glowing, as her powers help her heal."The next time you want to screw with the members of MY pack, be careful with your words. I am the future Alpha!" My jaw hits the floor as I listen. Is Axel defending me? Actually?"Don't refer to my pack as yours!"Oh... People nod, understandably. Of course, Axel didn't just start caring about the human los

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
