2024-12-24 00:00:14Sera’s POV
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

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

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

Sera’s POVMiles and I turned to look at Draco.“I already arranged things with my Beta, Sebastian, back in the pack. They should be on their way soon. That end is all settled,” Draco announced with a smile.“Wait, on their way? You mean your entire pack members?” Millie glanced at him in horror while I threw him a murderous look.The intensity of my glare could have buried him alive, if possible.All his talk of coming to inform me about his plans before the Council summons situation was just bullshit.I swore under my breath.He’d intended to do things his way, regardless of my opinion.My look must have been telling of my state of mind, because a sudden strange voice sounded in the sea of my subconscious.A strange, familiar yet unfamiliar voice.“Of course, I care about and respect your opinion, my heart. I was just very determined to do nothing else but convince you.”I stilled in shock at the strangely familiar voice in my head.It was unmistakably Draco’s voice in my head.The

Sera’s POV “How is that even possible?” Millie looked like she’d just heard the most ridiculous joke in history, and I didn’t blame her for that. I gave Draco, the author of the most ridiculous idea in history, an accusing glance. But he just shrugged, without a care in the world. “That has never happened in the history of the Werewoods. Besides, both packs would find it difficult to adjust to the new systems and faces,” Miles said, in contemplation of said ridiculous idea. Millie watched him in disbelief that he would even contemplate how to achieve such an idea. “Have you forgotten that Sera and Draco are alphas in their own right? And that each pack has its leadership?” Millie sounded unconvinced that such an idea could ever work, and once again, I couldn’t blame her. I’d passed through this stage of doubting the idea, and watching her was like watching myself. It was Draco who answered her this time. “Both packs would continue to operate with the previous leadership whil
Her Second Chance Alpha The Real News
Sera’s POV“We are almost at the pack’s borders, Alpha.”Steve, the pack enforcer who’d taken driver duties for the trip, said through the mind link, just as we neared the pack’s borders.I glanced up in surprise at the sudden appearance of his voice in my head, only to meet his stare through the rearview mirror.He had a contemplative gleam as he glanced from me to Draco, who sat beside me.He sure had a sharp nose, seeing as he’d noticed.I understood his words. The enforcers would have to return to their border duties, ignorant of the meeting’s outcome, once we reached the pack borders.“Don’t worry, Steve. I’d call for a meeting to discuss the outcome once we are ready,” I returned through the mind link.The journey back was fraught with a palpable tension, Draco’s presence only exacerbating it. I could feel Miles and the others watching us, hoping to get hints of the situation from our body language.It didn’t help that only Miles knew about the relationship between Draco and me.
Her Second Chance Alpha One Page
Sera’s POVI watched as the elders left one after the other with their entourage while ignoring Draco’s inquisitive eyes on my person.I’d thought it through.Elder Selene was right. With my current state, every single day of being pregnant means the likelihood of being able to shift reduces, because as my pregnancy advances, the weaker I’d get.I sighed, feeling helpless.Female shifters usually carried their pups for just 8 months before giving birth. With me almost 3 months gone, being unable to shift would put my life and that of my pup and the entire pack in danger.From this point of view, this arrangement came just when I needed it. Besides, it was on the condition of a three-month probation.That was something I could always use to my advantage.I’d decided.But I was avoiding Draco now because I didn’t want to have the difficult conversation of why I’d hidden the pregnancy from him.As if on cue, he walked over and came to a stop beside me just as the last elder - Selene exit
Her Second Chance Alpha Sera’s Guard
Present day…“Yes, Elders. I am carrying a pup and I can’t shift because of my pregnancy.”A voice emanated from inside the council hall.I paused mid-stride, in shock at the strikingly familiar voice of my mate.Sera’s resigned voice registered in my head, but I couldn’t process the words she’d altered.The words swarmed around in my head while I stood there in a daze, unmoving.Sera was carrying our pup, the fruit of our union, and evidence of our bond.I shook my head in disbelief as boundless joy filled my heart.My wolf howled in joy, and I knew he wanted so badly to let loose and run unhindered in the woods where he’d found home.But I frowned as I realized Sera had never intended to tell me about my pup. Vivid memories of my time in the Still Moon Pack told me all there was to know. My mate had known about the pup all along, but refused to tell me.Her unusual weakness and the fact that she’d been fighting off wolves while in human form should have been odd to me, but the impe
Her Second Chance Alpha Sera’s Name
Draco’s POVTwo days earlier…“Alpha, you have a message from the Council.”I had just settled into the chair behind the desk at the pack office and was about to dive into the pile of files on my desk when Bruno burst in through the office doors with a letter.I glanced up in confusion, wondering what the Council was up to. It was barely past a week since the pack tour wrapped up and they’d come knocking again.“What does it say?” I asked, distracted by the pile of files before me.“It’s a sealed letter,” Bruno said, showing the seal to me.“Must be another summon. Put it away. I’ll attend to it later.”“Alright, Alpha. Seb said to tell you he has begun the arrangements for the move and asked that I confirm the date with you.”At the pack meeting the other day, I suggested we move to the Still Moon Pack, shocking the pack leadership.But, they had quickly come around after I tabled the moon advantages of the move to them. Which was why plans were in place for the move, even when I had
Her Second Chance Alpha Three-Month Probation
Sera’s POV“In your grand plans, who is going to be the Alpha of this great pack? You know that two alphas cannot handle one pack, right?”I couldn’t keep the sarcasm out of my voice.The Elder all turned to look at Draco, waiting for his response.This question was a tricky one, which was difficult to solve.On one hand, Draco, as a male shifter and acknowledged as the strongest Alpha in the Werewoods, can not be asked to relinquish power to me.It was damned near impossible.As it stood, a majority of the elders on the Council would elect for Draco to assume full authority over the pack.Because I was new, inexperienced and a female.My eyes narrowed as I clenched my fist fight.“Our mate is wonderful, yeah. But, no one, not even someone I like, could Walt in and take what’s mine,” Amary’s voice echoed through my mind, as domineering as ever.For once, I was thankful that we were on the same page.My eyes must have been glowing, for Draco watched me in silence, his attention directe
Her Second Chance Alpha Draco’s Plans
Sera’s POV “I intend to have both packs live as one. However, each one answers to their leaders during the early period. Well, that is until everyone has properly adjusted to the new system. Then, we reform the new pack from top to bottom and then select new leaders.” Draco’s words were as daring as they were shocking. My blood boiled with rage. Does he think the members of both packs would just happily fall in line because he said so? I wasn’t happy with what I was hearing and the fact that the Council was entertaining this idea was inconceivable. I glanced around to find Elder Derek listening with rapt attention and Elder Scent had a contemplative look on him. Elder Selene was nodding as Draco talked, clearly approving his ideas. Louis, impatient as always, was tapping his foot on the ground. His familiar frown plastered across his face as he listened. As Lucian’s uncle, these plans were unfavourable to him, since Lucian had always wanted to bring my pack under his belt. On
Her Second Chance Alpha Draco and The Council
Sera’s POVI turned around in disbelief to find Draco standing at the entrance of the room, looking determined.What was he doing here?He glanced at me with an unreadable expression, and I froze under his scrutiny.I couldn’t meet his eyes and my cheeks grew warm as he examined me from head to toe, his eyes pausing at my belly.He’d heard me admit to carrying his pup, but I couldn’t gauge his attitude.Elder Derek’s voice snapped me out of my daze.“You are the one responsible for the pup, or you are Sera’s mate? Which one is it?”The elders all shared a look of shock. Even Elder Rufus, who’d insisted on keeping mute throughout the meeting, could not hide his expression.“Sera is my mate and the pup in her belly is mine,” Draco declared in the meeting room, his glowing eyes proof that his wolf neared the surface.I watched him in a daze as his dominant pheromones leaked into the air, filling the room.No one had seen that coming.“No wonder you ran here so quickly. This is the first
