2025-01-03 00:00:10Draco’s POV
The earth rumbled, and a loud growl filled the air as we approached the borders of the Still Moon Pack. Silence, unusual for the Werewoods, hung over the rabbit- and birdless path. The tree branches shook as if startled by a significant force. Chaotic sounds of battle filled the woods as we got closer.
“Alpha, it looks like there’s a battle going on up ahead,” Sebastian conveyed through the mind link. My team journeyed toward the Still Moon Pack, fulfilling a council directive.
But that wasn’t my only goal. I would meet my mate, the Alpha of the Still Moon Pack, Sera Nerva.
We raced forward in wolf form, and dirt flew up in our wake.

Draco’s POVThe rogue had his claws on my mate’s neck, ready to sniff out her breath.The sight triggered my wolf, and with a resounding growl, Noble charged forward and swiped the rogue’s face with a paw, sending him flying. He landed at a distance, sending dirt flying all over.The rogue had a deep gash on his face. His left eye had only escaped by an inch. He stood in a hurry and scurried away in fear.My blood boiled as I watched him run off. I’d been so close to tearing him to pieces. My rage had yet to subside, and my heart pounded. I turned to my mate, only to find her watching me guardedly.A glance at her hitched my breath in my throat. She was stunningly beautiful.Locks of chestnut-brown hair curtained her oval face. She had a svelte figure. Her flawless skin shone under the sunlight with an ochreous hue. She possessed silky lashes over her hazelnut-shaped eyes. She glan

Draco’s POV“That’s Sebastian, my Beta, and these are my team of enforcers,” I said with a wave towards Sebastian and the team, ignoring their weird looks.It surprised them to see me so chatty, considering I’d ignored the other alphas who’d tried to get friendly in the other pack we’d visited. But I wasn’t concerned about that. They’d understand in time.“I am Millie, the Beta of the Still Moon Pack. Thanks for lending a hand.”The petite female from before came forward, as my mate had no intention of continuing to entertain me. She was feisty, and I enjoyed it.“This is Miles, the pack’s delta and top enforcer.”I nodded at Miles. A thoughtful expression lingered on his face. He seemed lost in deep contemplation.“You must be tired from your trip. Let’s get you guys settled in the pack

Draco’s POVShe had a tiny and high-pitched voice.The pup had thick chestnut brown hair which curled around her round, chubby face. She studied me with soft green eyes filled with questions. Something about her features was familiar, but I couldn’t place my hand on it.“Ruby, he is the pack’s guest. Come help set the table,” Cindy said, staring at the pup in disapproval.“Are you Sera’s new mate? Would we be getting a little sister?” The pup refused to bulge, and she looked ready to rip out the answers from my throat.I could now link the familiarity of her features with that of my mate. However, her questions brought up question marks of my own. How was this pup related to my mate? Was the whole pack aware of Sera’s new mate?“Ruby!”C

Draco’s POVThe 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

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

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

Her Second Chance Alpha Theo’s Request
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
Her Second Chance Alpha Sophie
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
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

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
