2025-01-05 00:00:37Draco’s POV
The living area erupted in noise as everyone exchanged greetings and settled in for lunch.
I glanced at the stairs again, wondering when she would join us. Sera had been a no-show so far. I was getting impatient, and my wolf was getting antsy. Feeling a gaze on me, I glanced up to find Miles watching me closely.
He had the same unreadable look as when we first met. His sharpness as a wolf meant he must have detected my scent on my mate. That was surprising because the others were too distracted to notice.
I looked away from him and glanced at Sebastian and the rest of my team. They were all enjoying themselves as they dug into their plates. The tantalizing smell of grilled chicken caressed my nostrils, and I turned to attack my plate. I was as famished as the rest at the table.
I studied the entire room as I ate.
The atmosphere was harmonious, and I noticed

Draco’s POVA surge of protective instincts welled in me as I wondered what the problem was. Millie’s words cut my musings short.“This way, please,” she said, leading the way as Sebastian and I trailed along.The meeting room was a large, airy room that smelled like lavender. The room contained rows of seats that could fit many. However, for this meeting, only 5 persons would be in attendance.Everyone filed in and took up seats at the head of the main table in the room. I had Sebastian on my right, Miles and Millie on my left, and Sera sat far from me.“I believe we have all been properly introduced. Then let’s get right down to business.” Sera said in a grave tone.I watched the words leave my mate’s lips as she commanded the room with a glance. A sudden urge to grab her and kiss her senseless before everyone, right here and now, filled

Draco’s POVThere had to have been something that made them take such a risk. Something that assured them of victory. Something that only an insider scoop could give them.There was a spy in my mate’s pack, and I was going to find out who it was.Sera shared a look with Miles and Millie. I got the feeling that they knew the reason for the sudden attack of the rogues.There was something they were not telling us, and I was determined to find out.Sera stared at me. “Ralf, the former beta of the pack, led the rogues. We are yet to find out why they suddenly attacked now after staying quiet for so long.”Miles continued, “We’ve been trying to locate Ralf’s hideout to wipe them out for good, to no avail. Max has been out for so long trying to trace them.”Sebastian asked, “Who’s Max?” Millie was the one who replied. “He is a member of this pack and also an enforcer. He handles all external affairs of the pack.”I was silently watching them.“Have you ever considered that a spy in the pac
Last Updated : 2025-01-05Her Second Chance Alpha The Mate Bond
Draco’s POV I haven’t been this aroused since the death of my fated mate about 5 years ago. My wolf howled in joy. The delayed reunion with our mate had taken a toll on him. To a wolf, being without its mate was torture, and most couldn’t last long with their other half. “You must be joking if you think I would give up,” I said nonchalantly. A surge of possessiveness filled my bones. My wolf came to the fore at her words. My eyes shone an eerie grey in the airy meeting room. I wasn’t letting her out of my sight for a moment. Not even the Council could prevent me from being with my mate. Sera stared daggers at me, but I didn't care. There was no escaping this. “You can’t force me into this. A mating can only succeed if it’s consensual..” I stopped her words with my lips. She remained frozen in shock as I kissed her. I took advantage of her shock to deepen the kiss. She began struggling against me, but I had a firm grip on her. I had her where I wanted her, with no in
Last Updated : 2025-01-05Her 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

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
Last Updated : 2025-01-09Her 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

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

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 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
Her Second Chance Alpha Settled (2)
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
Her Second Chance Alpha Settled
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
