“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

Her 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

Draco’s POVOur conversation got interrupted as the pack cook brought the meal. A plate of pork chops with rice and grilled vegetables was before me. I look around to find my pack wolfing down their dinner. It was a leader’s duty to ensure his pack’s care before caring for himself.After checking on everyone, I move to tackle my plate.Alpha Maximus and his Beta, Spencer, led us to the guest chambers. It was a detached little cottage, separate from the pack house and the other houses belonging to the pack members. I nodded my head in satisfaction. It was far away from the hustle and bustle of pack activities.The peaceful cottage seemed to radiate an air of serenity. It was a good place to rest. I was exhausted, and I was going to pass out the moment I got to the room prepared for me. It took sheer willpower to hold myself together and not fall flat on my face.By the expression on their faces, I could tell they were tired. I glance at Se

Sera’s POVStill Moon PackIt was fifteen days after I’d received the shocking news of my pregnancy, and I still couldn’t wrap my head around it. The news had spread like wildfire throughout the pack, and I still don’t know how. My plans of keeping the news under wraps were dead on arrival since the news had spread even before I could get up from bed in the wake of my collapse.The entire pack was in chaos because of the news, and various speculations had spread, even reaching my ears. I hold my head at the thoughts of the most outrageous ones. As I went about pack duties, I didn’t miss the speculative glances I’d been getting.And to make it worse, Millie had been hoarding me about my mate’s identity, but I couldn’t bring myself to tell her the truth. I had escaped the twins’ scrutiny by distracting them with gifts and toys. But, by the knowing look in Bill’s eyes, I knew I hadn’t fooled him.I had taken Hyde’s words with levity and resu

Sera’s POV“You are up. How are you doing?” Millie walked towards me, looking concerned.“Not good. I still can’t get out of bed without feeling dizzy. And I still can’t eat breakfast.” By lunchtime, my nausea would ease up a little, and then I could eat properly. I need all the extra strength I can get since the pregnancy is draining me.“Now, don’t you go worrying your pretty head about pack matters? Miles and I are handling it. Max would arrive any day from now. He has concluded the investigation of the backgrounds of the new pack members.”Max is Miles’ best friend and an enforcer of the pack. He loves to travel around the Werewoods and even beyond. He handles all the pack matters conducted outside the pack.“I hope he isn’t cutting his trip short because of me?” I knew he didn’t like to be caged, so I tried to give him as much liberty as possible.“Well, not exactly. He is coming back so soon because of the pups. He couldn’t

Sera’s POV“They’ve been badgering Daphne about the gender of the pup. Also, Ruby tried to escape the nursery a few times to play around the pack but was discovered by Joan. The pups are getting restless. Ann went to the bathroom the other day and did not return until Daphne went to find her. She discovered Ann fast asleep on the toilet bowl.” We burst into laughter.We had twelve pups that had lost their parents to the battle a year ago. I created the nursery and left Daphne in charge of the pups. Later, busy pack members dropped their pups there. The pups had become a handful even with Linda’s help.“Sera! Sera! Sera!” Ruby burst into my room with Bill and Bryan at her heels. She rushed to hug me, and I caught her fast, fearing she would bump into my belly. I still haven’t come to terms with the situation, but I already felt protective of the pup in my belly.“Ruby, slow down. I’ve told you always to be careful. What if you’d tripped?” I caresse

Draco’s POV“Guys, that’s enough! We just got back,” I said helplessly.They could go on and on if I let them, and from the knowing looks the others wore, I knew they shared similar opinions.Sebastian had the grace to look embarrassedHe said, “My apologies, Alpha,” all signs of mischief gone from his person.Sophie, however, didn’t give a hoot and was still giving Sebastian a death glare.The rest of the team dispersed, all headed to their rooms to rest and reunite with loved ones within the pack.All except Theo, who was waiting to drill stories of the entire trip out of me.Theo didn't care about Sophie and Sebastian’s bickering. He glanced at me in full anticipation.“Uncle, tell me all about your trip. Was it dangerous? Did you encounter rogues on the way?” Theo was full of excitement as he asked.This was my cue to leave while Sophie was distracted as once she got hold of my attention, trying to cut her loose would be like trying to get a red wine stain off a white shirt.She w

Draco’s POV“You may rise,” I said, watching him with a wide grin.Theo had a huge smile on his face as he approached me.“Come here,” I said as I pulled him in for a hug.The poor boy must have been counting down the days until the team’s return. I’d rescued the pup by the roadside while returning from a trip to the Crescent Hills two years after assuming the mantle as Alpha of this pack.Ever since, he’d become an unshakable tail, trailing behind me everywhere I went.I’d given him the name Theo, as he had no memory of who he was or where he was from. He was the little sibling I’d never had while growing up.“I guess I’ve now become invisible.”We turned around to find Sebastian watching us with a pained expression.The look of mock hurt on his face was so hilarious and we all burst into laughter.Theo exchanged hugs and received a round of backslaps from the men as we all moved towards the doors of the pack house. Unlike the Still Moon Pack, we all lived in the pack house because
Her Second Chance Alpha Homecoming
Draco’s POV We hurried to the Council after a weird encounter with my mate near the boarders Still Moon Pack to report on the Werewoods. As expected, the attack of the Still Moon Pack by Ralf and his pack of rogues had raised alarm bells with the Council. Elder Louis, famous for his uncontrollable temper, had almost lost his head at the purported insult to the Council, which he saw as a stain to his person. He’d struggled to keep his rage under control as he’d screamed, “Preposterous!”” Even Elder Selene, who was good-natured, had a deep frown marring her features. Ralf’s blatant disregard for our team, which had served as a representative to the Council had placed him on the top of their radar. Elder Derek, who was usually stoic and unmoved, had seemed offended by Ralf’s disregard and has sent out a team on his trail. I shook my head at the thought of the fate that awaited Ralf and his team should the hunt sniffed out his hiding place. Elder Derek was usually stoic, but he co
Her Second Chance Alpha Waiting
Sera’s POVI lay in my bed, still battling with nausea and dizziness as I watched Aria move around my bedroom to tidy up a little.She was humming a tone with no care in the world. The pack’s reality remained unknown to her. ‘You know, she could pass for a wonderful little mole. So innocent and unassuming!’ came Amary’s voice in my mind.She’s been a bit too chatty of late.I wonder what happened to staying stoic and muted?‘ So could countless innocent members of the pack. Both old and new,’ I retorted.‘Not everyone is missing a wolf aura!’ Amary said with a snarl.I was just about fed up with Amary’s scathing remarks. ‘Why don’t you sniff out the mole and save us all the stress, since you are so-’‘Alpha.’Aria’s words interrupted my inner battle with Amary, and I looked up to find her standing before me, holding a food tray.‘Cindy was worried since you haven’t eaten all day. She asked that I bring you an early lunch.’I realized that I had not had breakfast all day. I was so pr
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

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

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
