Sera’s POV

I 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.

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

  • 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

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

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

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 POV“You mean Alpha Draco of the Silva Moon Pack? The strongest shifter in all the Werewoods?” Max couldn’t keep his mouth closed as he stared at my mate, looking amazed.I fought hard to hold in my laughter, and the looks on Miles’ and Millie’s faces betrayed their amusement.Max had always been a fan of strong shifters and always raved about them. It was no wonder that he was also a fan of Draco, an Alpha who’d accomplished so much while we were all still playing around in the pack, merely pups.He’d become the young Alpha in his teenage years and built the strongest team of enforcers the Werewood has ever seen.That team was now going to move into this pack and become a part of us.I could already see Max’s reaction when he found out.Draco had a smug look at Max’s reaction to his identity. I hit him on his arm discreetly, while no one else was looking. He was having fun at my friend’s expense and I could have that.“Yes, in flesh and blood.” Draco responded with a slight

    Sera’s POV“What?!” I exclaimed, unable to believe my ears.Max had delayed his return to the pack for so long that when we’d received a letter stating that he was close to the pack just before I got summoned by the Council, I’d brushed it off like it was another one of his reassurances.The harsh sound of screeching chair legs against the floor came from the side of the meeting room as Grace exclaimed with excitement, “My brother is back!”Like a whirlwind, she ran past the panting enforcer towards the exit, all thoughts of the ongoing meeting long forgotten.Miles and I exchanged glances.Max was back just in time before we begun big changes to the pack.I couldn’t help but be curious about the outcome of his investigation into the backgrounds and origin of the new pack members we had.It was just as well that we cleared out the spies before setting up the new pack.“Thank you, Joseph. You may take your leave,” I said to the messenger enforcer with a small smile.“Yes, Alpha.” He t

  • Her Second Chance Alpha   Max is Back!

    Sera’s POV“What? A union of both packs? Mates? This is absurd!” Elder Philips exclaimed while the rest of my pack remained silent.“How is that possible? They can’t just command two shifters to get mated on a whim, right?” Max’s sheltered little sister, Grace, looked downright confused as she glanced around the room.We all knew that the Council could do whatever it pleased as it reigned supreme in the Werewoods, but no one was going to upset the she-wolf by telling her that.“The idea of uniting two packs is ridiculous. I mean, no one has ever tested it in the Werewoods,” Steve said, shaking his head slightly.“Which is why the Council has placed the union on a three-month probation. If either of the packs feels that strongly that things are not working out, they can secure a reversal by putting forth a convincing argument to the Council,” I said, hoping to reassure them.There was an inaudible sigh of relief that filled the room.Everyone looked relieved at my words, and the frown

    Sera’s POV“Just in time,” Cindy said, as she watched us walk into the dining area. Her face showed her disapproval as she stood arm akimbo in the large dinning.The Omegas assigned to the kitchen, Lydia and Aria, were clearing the dishes used by pack members during their breakfast and cleaning up the tables.We didn’t make it in time for breakfast with the pack.“Had you been a minute late, you would have had to microwave your meal yourself,” she said without a hint of a smile.The pack’s meal time was sacred to Cindy, and we always tried to ensure we made it in time every day. As the pack’s cook and the one in charge of our everyday meals, she hated food wastage even more.“Hello to you too, Cindy. I had to urge them to come down earlier. If not, they wouldn’t be out until noon,” Draco said as he moved forward to take a seat.I glared at him in mock outrage while Millie just looked from one person to another, confused by Draco’s statement.I ignored the snitching wolf and turned to

    Sera’s POV“What do you mean?” Millie had the grace to look confused and I would have fallen for her act if I didn’t know her so well. I smiled in amusement, about to open my mouth and drill the truth out of her.But she beat me to it.“You should go get ready now. Cindy is making breakfast, and the pup is hungry. You don’t want to waste time.”Just as she said that my belly gave a loud rumble.I watched Millie, helpless, as she gave me a triumphant smile.Then I turned to enter the washroom, leaving Millie reveling in her purported victory.“This conversation isn’t over,” I promised in a loud voice as I shut the door behind me.I took a long bath, then found Millie asleep in my bed.How nice, I thought, shaking my head in disbelief.While being as silent as possible, I proceeded to my large dresser to apply my long-abandoned skincare and brush my hair.I took out some slacks and an oversized top, which helped to cover up my baby bump, making it unnoticed.I stared at my outfit in th

    Sera’s POV“Sera, are you in there? I’m coming in.”I was lost in bitter memories, unable to find my way out, when Millie’s familiar voice sounded from afar off, snapping me back to reality.The familiar velvet colors of my room’s window blinds and the cozy warmth of my enormous bed reminded me I’d moved past the nightmarish events from a few months back.11 months, 2 weeks and 6 days, but who was counting, right?I chuckled warily.Who was I kidding?“Coming in, Millie. I’m in here,” I replied, after checking through my fashionable dressing-table mirror to make sure that there were no signs of tears on my face.Tears I hadn’t even realized were there.The doors burst open and Millie strolled in, looking worried.“What were you up to? I called your name a thousand times and was considering whether to reach out through the mind link or go down to the office to check you there.”Millie threw her hands up in the air in surrender and settled into one of the cozy seats near the small table

  • Her Second Chance Alpha   Marc’s Death

    Sera’s POVI remained in a daze as the pack collected the bodies of dead pack members and arranged for their burial.They were buried two days later in the woods, which was home to all shifters.We shifters are the most happy and fulfilled when racing in the woods in our wolf form and one with nature. Therefore, dead shifters were buried right in the woods, which was a gift from the moon goddess, Selene.The ceremony was held at night, with the uninjured pack members in wolf form as a sign of respect to the dead.The Still Moon Pack was going to bury its Alpha that night, and the woods filled with mournful howls.Sometimes during the wee hours of the morning, after remaining clear-eyed throughout the past two nights and not sleeping a wink, my tired body had given in and I’d finally fallen into fitful sleep.I’d woken up to find my claws gone and my eyes back to normal. I’d unknowingly left my half-shifted state.Now, I stood at the edge of the woods, watching as the large procession

  • Her Second Chance Alpha   Shifted

    Sera’s POV My conversation with Draco at the pack’s office once Millie and Miles had left about the new name of the pack remained at the forefront of my mind as I went around the pack for the rest of the day.Even spending time with the twins and hearing about Ruby’s latest adventures had done nothing to purge my mind of such thoughts.Though we hadn’t been able to come up with a suitable name for the pack, Draco had helped me realise the importance of picking a suitable name for the new pack.We’d keep it on hold for now and focus on getting the packs to accept the new situation and learn to accommodate each other.Which was why I was up even earlier than usual this morning. I lay awake in bed, staring up at the ceiling above my head, lost in thoughts.The window by the right of my queen-sized bed remained open throughout the night, and the tree just beyond the window swayed in the gentle morning air.I sighed as thoughts of today’s meeting streamed into my mind just as the wheels

    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
