Still Moon Pack
I stare at myself in the mirror as I brush my teeth. It had been three weeks since I ran away from my mate, and I still couldn’t get him off my mind. Thoughts of him occupy my head day and night. The tantalizing scent of wood and musk follows me as I attend to my pack duties. It is my mate’s scent, the mate I abandoned.
I shook my head to steer those thoughts away.
I had more important things to do today than to be plagued with thoughts of my mate. A mate I

Her Second Chance Alpha Chapter Six: New Members
Sera’s POV “Alpha, the new members are here.” Miles mind linked me from the pack’s border, disrupting my thoughts. Moving to my closet, I pick out a sleeveless brown top and black shorts appropriate for carrying out pack duties. I move to the mirror by my bedside and ruffle my hair with my hand. My medium-length, thick, chestnut brown hair was always unruly. I brush it into a temporary shape and head down for my meal. I arrive at the table just as the pack’s cook, Cindy, comes out of the kitchen with my meal in her hands. Cindy has been the pack’s cook for as long as I can remember. She watched Marc and me grow up; she is like my mother. “You are up. I was about to look for you in your room. Everyone else has had their meal except you.” Cindy places a plate of bacon and eggs with a cheese sandwich on the table.

Sera’s POVI open my eyes and find myself in the pack’s hospital. Hyde, the pack doctor, is talking to Millie and the others. They all had solemn expressions on their faces. I guess my long hours of overwork had finally caught up to me.“Guys, what’s going on?” I sit up, holding my head.“You tell us. Doc said you are with pup…”My face paled as Millie’s voice faded away. I am in shock at what I heard. I am with what?I can’t believe what I just heard. No, it couldn’t be true; I shake my head in denial. My face is deathly white, and my hands tremble as I hug myself. A familiar feeling of dread settled in my belly, at home there. I thought I had left the incident behind, buried in the past. I have to face the consequences. They’re unavoidable.I am pregnant with a child from a mating I ran away from, A mate I cannot recognize.“Sera, are you e

Sera’s POVThe more I’d loved Dylan, the more his betrayal had hurt me. This pack is full of wounded shifters, broken by the betrayal of one of our own. We protect ourselves from strangers, particularly alphas who might seek to seize control of the pack. My new mate serves as a threat to the pack.I had vowed to protect this pack as its Alpha, but I don’t know if I can keep it.The Shifters Council might assign the pack to another alpha or my mate as its leader. Then, the pack would be easy prey to anyone with bad intentions. My face went pale at the thought; I clenched my fist so tight it hurt. We had to keep this situation under wraps for as long as possible.I woke up the next morning feeling very weak. My head pounds heavily, and I feel sick in my guts. I have a lot of pack matters to attend to, and I can’t afford to laze around. I struggled to sit up as Hyde came in, holding several papers wit

Sera’s POV“Have you been too busy to come see us?” Bill stared at me in question, his voice filled with hurt.Ruby turned to him in confusion. Her deep blue eyes twinkled with curiosity.“I intended to see you both last night, but a minor accident made it impossible for me to come. I would never be too busy for you guys. We are going out to play by the weekend, and I will get you guys your favorite toys!” I carefully mentioned the bribe.Bill, a sensitive pup, made me extra cautious in his presence. The twins were about one year and six months, but they were stronger and sharper than normal pups. They learned fast. Bill is a literal genius and already possesses a powerful aura at this tender age.“Yay! I’m going to get the Pink Princess doll. That’s super expensive!” Ruby ran in circles around me, jumping up as she ran.She wore a pink princess dress that was too bogus for everyday
Last Updated : 2024-12-26Her Second Chance Alpha Chapter Ten: Ralf's Vendetta
Ralf’s POV Werewoods’ Borders The night descended, and tense silence filled the meeting room as I stride in with my Beta. Everyone bowed as I took the majestic seat at the top. My wolf purred in satisfaction at the scent of fear which filled the room at my entrance. This, right here, is the prestige of an alpha. An alpha’s mere presence should inspire fear in the hearts of his subordinates; his aura should make others cower in submission. A mere glance from him should inspire dread in the hearts of lesser wolves; his every move should be with intent to conquer. “You may all rise!” My voice boomed in the silent meeting room as I glanced around with a sharp look. The room contains fifty rogue shifters who have sworn their allegiance to me. We aim to take over the Werewoods, and I intend to start with the Still Moon Pack. My blood ran cold, and I

Ralf’s POV I clenched my fists, and my nails dug into the flesh of my palm. My fangs protruded as my eyes glowed in the dark. I felt my wolf's rage filling my insides—easy, Scar. Revenge would come, and it would come soon. I smile wickedly.I would give Sera’s head to Dylan as a peace offering.I pushed aside the curtain and ventured into my sleeping chambers. Darkness descended all around me, and I moved to light the candle on my dressing table. The room brightened, and my face reflected in the mirror.The jarring scar cutting across my face from my hairline to my jaw is evidence of the grueling battle a year ago. Aidin had granted me the scar as evidence of my betrayal, but look who survived the war.“Muahahahaha,” I throw my head back in laughter. Aidin was six feet under with his beloved mate and responsible son. I would send him his lovely daughter and the cute twins to com

Draco’s POVWhite Moon PackI was getting frustrated at my futile search. We have been to about thirty packs, and I still haven’t found her. My wolf was getting antsy, and I felt frustrated. Where in the world was my mate?Our encounter felt like a figment of my imagination, but persistent nightmares of my mate’s brutal death kept me awake at night. I had to find her and protect her.Sunlight streamed through the gaps in the trees as we raced past. The tree leaves dripped moisture from the early morning dew. A team of rabbits went into hiding on sighting us. The chirping birds took flight at our noisy approach. My wolf, Noble, raced with abandon. I am with my team for the pack tour, and we are all in wolf form.We left the Snow Moon Pack behind us and ran towards the next. In the Werewoods, the most common mode of transportation was to travel in wolf form. We shifters felt at home in the woods and unrestrained in our wolf form. Our hooves

Draco’s POV“Welcome once again to our humble abode. We’ve just completed some renovations to the space. We replaced the furniture and redecorated the house,” Maximus explained as we entered. I glanced around the magnificent house. Well, not so humble.“I’ll go get the pack cook to set up the table. We’ve prepared a feast in anticipation of your arrival.” Beta Spencer glanced at me with a patronizing smile on his face.Since I became the Alpha of my pack and considering my reputation as the strongest Alpha in all the Werewoods, I’ve been on the receiving end of such gazes. Most people can’t see past the wealth and glory associated with being me. They can’t reach the blood, sweat, and tears it took to get to where I am today.I ignore Spencer and glance towards Maximus. “How is the general situation of the packs within this area? I presume your knowledge of the packs’ general situation is excellent, given your pack’s prosperity in these p

Her Second Chance Alpha Lucian
Sera’s POVI studied them all.I’d never paid attention to the male shifters and was only familiar with Aria and Linda.The male shifters were all lean and muscular, with one of them being a little chubby and shorter than the rest of them, which was rare as a shifter.He was a short and small-bodied shifter with beady, hazel eyes, hollow cheeks, plucked eyebrows, a square jaw and a square face. He had curly brown hair.His build was eye-catching among shifters because of its rarity. I started with him. “What’s your name?” I said to him.“I am Davis. Alpha Lucian of the Alpha of Blood Moon Pack recently attacked my pack, the Pure Moon Pack, which is why I had to leave.”Lucian was becoming infamous in the Werewoods. His obsession with challenging other alphas to take control of their packs baffled me.My encounter with him on the hunting grounds had been nothing short of unpleasant. Our battle in the woods was another thing I’d failed to disclose to Millie.My unexpected mating with
Her Second Chance Alpha Sera’s Suspicions
Sera’s POVMiles continued, “We have to catch the traitor, but before we do that, we first have to block all channels of passing information outside the pack.”“Starting today, we will restrict movement out of the pack. We will tighten border security, and those leaving the pack must state their destination.”We must ensure no fresh information leaked out of the pack until we caught the mole in our midst.I glanced at Steve. “Please note Miles’ instructions and implement ASAP. Make sure you search everyone coming into the pack and confirm their purpose.”“Yes, Alpha,” Steve replied, looking like he just awakened from his daze.Turning to the others, I said, “Max should be back in the following days. He has also investigated the backgrounds of the new pack members. Everyone should know that we wouldn’t put your lives in danger.”“I trust you,” Daphne said, surprising me. The others also nodded in agreement.I wasn’t aware that the pack had so much faith in me. My heart warmed at their
Her Second Chance Alpha All Suspects
Sera’s POVI strolled to my place and sat at the head of the table.The sky was clear and streams of sunlight pierced through the window on my right and reflected in my eyes and made me dizzy.I raised a hand to block the ray of light as I adjusted my chair to a comfortable spot, away from the offending rays.Everyone had settled into their chairs and waited for me to speak.I took a deep breath and faced the problems head-on.“I called this meeting to discuss the recently concluded battle and this pack’s state going forward.”The room was silent as everyone listened with rapt attention.“Unfortunately, we lost 5 of our members in the struggle. They fought bravely and ensured that the peace we have today continued.”“They were our brothers and backbone, and we mourn their loss.”My voice trembled at these words. I cleared my throat.Everyone remained subdued by my words. Steve’s face appeared pale, and he looked ill. He was the one most affected by the loss here. The dead enforcers h
Her Second Chance Alpha Top Pack Members
Sera’s POV“I’ll be back, mate. And this time, it would be to claim you as my mate.”I froze in shock as I watched his form fade into the woods, the rest of his pack following closely at his tails.I blinked as I glanced around the room in confusion.That was undeniably Draco’s voice in my head just now. I shook my head to clear it.We hardly used the mind link in my pack; I’d forgotten it also connected mates.Thinking back to his words again made me shudder. It sounded more like a threat.I shook my head to clear my thoughts as I let the curtains down and headed to my bathroom to wash up.My mate was gone, so I could now focus on pack duties again. I had to get things done before my regular dose of dizziness and nausea kicked in.If I couldn’t get any sleep, then I might as well prepare for the upcoming meeting with the top members of this pack.After cleaning up, I moved to the bathroom mirror and stared at my reflection. My eye bags looked terrible, as if I hadn’t slept in days.
Her Second Chance Alpha Departure
Sera’s POVMillie moved towards the food tray and removed the lids on the dishes. A pleasant, mouth-watering aroma wafted around the living area and filled every inch of the room.We were having a feast. Cindy had outdone herself this time—the dishes overflowed with sizzling brisket, paired with a serving of potato salad with apple juice.Cindy placed a plate before me, and my mouth watered. I hadn’t realised I was so famished.An even more enticing aroma drifted into my nose as I prepared to dig in. The thick scent of wood and musk hit me just as chaotic footsteps came from the stairs.Draco appeared at the top of the stairs in his full glory, looking fresh and well-rested. I struggled to look away, barely even paying attention to Sebastian, who had also appeared together.The pull of the mate bond was so strong that I struggled to resist.As more members of Draco’s team followed in their alpha’s wake, I struggled not to look in his direction.They all settled in as Cindy finished se
Her Second Chance Alpha Dinner
Sera's POV“Listen, I can feel his wolf and fully trust his intentions. Don’t destroy what we share with them over your mistrust.”Her words sounded genuine, but I trusted my discretion. There was a reason I was the logical one of us both.“Well, he’d have to prove that to me before I let him anywhere close to this pack.”“So stubborn.”Then she went dead silent again.I was feeling better, so I stood up to head out of the office and into my room. I need to get some rest before we gathered for dinner later in the evening.Draco was very astute, and I wouldn’t want him getting a hint of the pregnancy. It was hard enough to wade him off even now.The living area was quiet as I ascended the stairs. Everyone was out running errands or resting in their rooms.I sighed in contentment. The present peace was what I craved, and I wouldn’t allow anything to take that away from my pack. On reaching the top of the stairs, I came face to face with Daphne, leaving her room, a little distance away
Her Second Chance Alpha Amary’s Thoughts
Sera’s POVA strange sense of foreboding filled me. It was a wonder how the spy had been listening for so long, with Miles and I remaining unaware of the presence of a third party.Although I couldn’t shift because of the pregnancy and I experienced dizziness and weakness, my wolf’s presence was still very much pronounced.Miles also possessed a potent wolf aura, with his wolf being the strongest in this pack besides Amary. Were we too distracted to notice what was going on around us?The mole could be more powerful than us or had mastered the art of concealing one’s aura perfectly, or both.Although we had visitors in the pack, the probability that it was one of them was very low.“We have to deal with the mole ASAP. I don’t know how long we can take this,” Miles said in a dangerously low voice.He had murderous intent in his eyes. Miles wasn’t a very patient wolf, and the mole was getting on all our nerves.A frown marred my face. Inform Max to return to the pack ASAP. We need to
Her Second Chance Alpha Threat
Sera’s POV“So what? You intend to reject him?” Miles lifted a brow as he watched me.I replied instantly. “No, of course not!” Rejecting him felt too brutal even to consider. I knew what rejection did to a wolf; it was an ugly sight.The room descended into silence at my words.“So, you care for him?” Miles had a knowing look in his eyes. “That’s beside the point. The pack is important to me right now, and I’d rather face that.”“Why can’t you stay with your mate and keep the pack safe? Who says you can’t have both?”His words rendered me speechless.I felt naked under his knowing gaze. Miles always had that effect. It was like he could see through people.A world where I could be with my mate and still get to protect my pack felt so distant. The massive risk scared me, especially since I distrusted my mate’s intentions toward the pack.My position as Alpha meant exposing the pack to unpredictable variables should I accept my mate.“It’s not that simple,” I said helplessly. “I am
Her Second Chance Alpha Sera’s Fears
Sera’s POVMy trembling legs gave way just as Draco exited the meeting room. My heart pounded relentlessly, and I crumpled into the nearest chair.I could still feel his lips on mine. The intensity of the kiss had left me breathless and wanting more. I tried to feel nothing, to pretend to be unaffected by him, but it wasn’t working.It had been a struggle to keep up the facade. I desperately wanted to embrace Draco and welcome our beautiful bond, but I couldn’t risk my pack’s safety. This pack had been the only thing left of my once beautiful family and I couldn’t trust anyone to take over while I sat at the back burner.The last time I’d trusted anyone, it’d ended with the deaths of my family members. Dylan had taught me, and I’d learned. I’d learned that letting people in was like throwing open the doors to your perfectly maintained mansion for pests and flies to feast.The resultant effect was always ugly to look at.Succumbing to Draco’s wish would mean handing over the lives of
