Her Second Chance Mate Chapter 27
I tried to calm myself and held on to the wall so as not to collapse right there and then because his voice was making me weak on my knees.He was here, in the same space as me! And I feel like I could faint. Calm down, Jaz. Calm down. He is just here to talk to you. Alpha to Alpha. There is nothing about it.I could see the mountain of the man coming to me with all seriousness, like he wanted to kidnap me. He was tall, towering over all the men who were beside him. He was walking in long strides, like he owned the place, and if I wasn't careful, he could own the place.I tried not to show my admiration for him; instead, I straightened up and wore a stern face. I stood beside the door, ready to welcome him in. "Alpha Lucas. It is nice to meet you." I said as I stretched my hands in a handshake. But he just went in, ignoring my hand.I glanced at my Beta so he could explain what had just happened, but he shrugged his shoulders and signaled for me to come in. I see he is just going to b

"What?" I looked at myself, waiting for him to repeat what he said."You should get your ears checked out; it is bad that a werewolf of your ranking has horrible hearing." Sometimes I hate his guts; he is always so blunt and doesn't have a filter. I was going to reply to him, but in order not to start up a world war, I let the comment slide. Jake was already motioning for me to get inside; he could sense that a storm was brewing and that it could end badly. "Aren't you getting inside? Or are you going to keep holding the line?" He said in a condescending tone."I don't understand; why should I get into the car?""Aren't you my mate? Or do I have to spell it out for you?" He snapped, looking down at me. Maya was all over the moon, happy that her mate has finally recognized her. While I was also happy, I couldn't tolerate this disrespect anymore."Yes, I am your mate. But I won't tolerate such a condescending tone from you again, Lucas. You are not in any way better than me. We are bot

It was that time of the month—the time of the month that Mother Nature chose to be bloody. And of all the days Lucas could choose, he chose today for the exchange, and I couldn’t be angrier. Today was one of those mornings where I woke up on the wrong side of the bed. I winced as I rubbed my stomach, trying to relieve the pain.I could have spent the morning in bed, nursing a cup of warm milk, but today was going to be different. Lucas was coming today, and I had to make sure I put on a brave face, regardless of the fact that my stomach was killing me."Are you going to be okay?" My brother asked when he noticed the way my face contorted. Everyone knows how I usually get on days like this, and as a caring brother, he had come to offer emotional support."Yes, I will be. Duties call, and I can’t keep them waiting." I said as I got dressed for the event. Jake had just alerted me that Lucas had just left his pack, and I had to get dressed on time if I was going to meet up."Are you sure?
Her Second Chance Mate Chapter 30
It was time for the exchange. Lucas had given me a list of the warriors he had brought. I looked at the list he had given me; it contained their names and their strengths. I decided to take a roll call, my eyes scanning through them and accessing them as they answered. I was impressed; he had chosen the best. They were all huge and well-toned, but physical appearance can be deceiving, so I didn't take it to heart. I will put them in a fighting ring later on to gauge their strength. Only after that can I put them in their respective places. I had my beta hand him the list I had also compiled, which contains their names and their specialties, and he took the roll call. He seems satisfied with it, because he kept on nodding. Finally, the exchange was made, and it was time to head home. We had arranged a place for them to stay away from the pack but close to the training center, so as not to risk them divulging the pack's secret to their alpha. Jake loaded them into the cars we had br
Her Second Chance Mate Chapter 31
It was safe to assume that Lucas pretty much spoiled my mood for the rest of the day. I was sulky by the time I got to the park house, and everyone took one look at me and went the other way. Immediately I got home, I went straight to my office and summoned my beta for an emergency meeting. A war was looming, and we had to start getting prepared. I sat down, twirling on the chair as I waited for him. My mind kept going back to the kiss—that was the best kiss I have had in years. But the jerk had to go and ruin it with his loud mouth. I closed my eyes as I tried to imagine it, wondering what would have happened if his wolf had actually mated me there. A delicious tingle went down my body, and I shivered. No matter how much I would love that, this wasn't the time and place for that. And as if on cue, Jake walked inside, completely distracting me from my thoughts. "Jasmine? You called?" He asked, running his hand through his hair. He seemed to be distressed, and no doubt it was becau

"You need to attack the vital point. But don’t be too obvious. They shouldn’t be able to read your moves. Let your eyes give out nothing. You have to confuse the enemy." I barked out to the group of warriors training in the practice arena. Ever since the talk with Lucas, where he basically threatened to take over my pack, everyone has been on deck to fight. All adults were required to fight; no one would be spared. We were currently outside in the arena with various groups training, and I, Jake, and Malcolm were in charge of training each group.I am currently training my group in sword fighting, and they have been catching up. "Next up. Williams and Lillian." I called out, and the two warriors came out as they heard their names and bowed to each other. People may be surprised that I am putting men and women together to fight against each other. But we werewolves don’t discriminate against gender.Because on the battlefield, your enemies don’t care if you are male or female. They wou

It was a day before doomsday, because that is what I have decided to call it, and everyone was on high alert. For the past week, we have been training and training. I barely have any rest nowadays because I am constantly worried about what will happen when Lucas comes. I had warriors stationed at every entrance to the pack, as I didn’t want to be caught unawares. My link was open throughout so that they could alert me of any suspicious individuals or behaviours. I could barely sleep that night. I was with my beta and the head warrior in my office, going through the plan over and over again and looking for any loopholes. After going through everything and seemingly being satisfied, they both retired back to bed, but I stayed behind to put the finishing touches on everything. It was in times like this that I missed my dad. The events of the day finally got to me, and I managed to fall asleep on my desk after a while, the pen still in my hand. I woke up to find that drool had covered

They retired for the night that day, and another took their place, but there was still no sign of Lucas and his men. It continued on throughout the rest of the week, which made me think he finally had a change of heart. But I doubt that; Lucas was Lucas; he never backed down from a challenge. The next week, it was pretty obvious that Lucas wasn’t going to come again. I mean, we haven’t heard anything from him, and that was strange. I eased the security around the pack a bit so that people could go about their normal activities. We weren’t going to disrupt our normal schedule because of one man, who also happens to be my mate and one of the most feared alphas on the continent. But some guards were stationed across our borders so that they could report any sightings of the crimson shadow pack. But that went on for another week, and nothing happened. It has now been a month since Lucas made such a threat to me and my pack, and I needed no soothsayer to tell me that he wasn’t going to s

Her Second Chance Mate Epilogue
Lucas was able to get me to see reasons why we should merge the pack, and I agree. I had already relayed the information to the pack. At first, they were sceptical about it, not knowing how to behave towards these new intruders. But as words passed around and the date kept drawing near, the excitement began to increase. Everyone had an individual reason for being happy. The nurses and warriors who had been previously sent to the other pack during the exchange were very excited about the news. They could finally see their families without having to get permission to go across the border. While the pack was excited about the possibilities and exposure I would bring. Imagine two powerful packs merging to become one; we would easily become the most powerful and unstoppable pack on the continent, rivaling even the best pack on the continent. I was happy for all those things, but nothing could be compared to the fact that I would get to spend every waking moment with my mate. I was ove

I blinked my eyes, trying to get used to the bright light that was streaming from the window blind. I successfully opened my eyes after several tries and was greeted by the dull painting of my room.I groaned on the bed, feeling my head alight with pain. Something was different, but I couldn't exactly pinpoint what it was. But everything was just different.Maybe it was the way Lucas' scent was saturated in the room; it literally filled everywhere, like he had been staying here all day.I rolled across the bed till I got to the edge, and I placed my legs gingerly on the floor. I tested their strength to see if they could support me, and they could.I stood up slowly and made my way to the bathroom to relieve myself. I washed my hands after I had done my business. From there, I proceeded to wash my face, and I padded out of the room after I was through, back to my room.Someone, whom I assumed was Lucas, had changed me into shorts and a shirt. Just then, my stomach rumbled, and I looke

I didn't know where the man had come from, but he had run up to me and collided with me. The impact was forceful enough to make me stumble all across the floor, and I was lucky I did.Because, just then, the man exploded into bits and pieces beside me, spraying us with his innards.Then everything was pure chaos.Someone screamed behind me, and I suspected it was one of the warriors. I could hear someone running beside me. There was a high-pitched noise ringing in my ears, and it continued, the bell refusing to stop.I could feel my body leaving me, and it was like I was floating in midair from all the chaos. The ringing began to gradually subside, and in that state, I realised that there was a girl who was also at risk of exploding."She can't be away from him; she would blow up. She can't be away from him; she would blow up." I kept murmuring the phrase like a broken toy. It was a way to keep me in touch with reality."Alpha, are you okay?" A cute face peered down at me, worry lines

Under the guidance of Lucas, we were able to safely scale the landmine. And it wasn't until everyone had a good metre passed it and were safe that my breathing finally went back to normal.The fact that someone close to me also had a near-death experience was enough to sober anyone, and we all moved quietly as we walked deeper into the forest.The air was getting stale as we ventured in, and at a point, the hair on my body stood stiff, as if it could tell the danger lurking behind.The sunlight filtered through the towering trees, casting eerie shadows on the forest floor. Everyone was quietly walking forward, and it added to the eerie feeling.I tightened the grip on the hilt of my dagger and took a deep breath, summoning courage. While praying for the goddess to help me.The air grew colder as we ventured further into the heart of the forest, and the sound of nature was slowly fading away, replaced by an unnerving silence.I winced as my shoe got caught on a metal piece, and Lucas t

We have been running for so long that I have lost count of the hours. The adrenaline that had been fueling me was gradually depleting, and I was already getting tired.But I still continued urging on; it also helped that Lucas was beside me, motivating me in his own way. He was running behind me, and anytime my speed was declining, I would feel his cold nose on my rump pushing me forward.That really helped because we were able to cross the border of a pack, and we were currently in another one. I had already gotten permission from the alphas of the pack we would be passing through; it was considered folly not to do so. I also beseeched them for their help, and they were happy to lend their support in their own way.I looked ahead of me and saw that the sun was glistening on a surface, which was no doubt a body of water. I gathered momentum, my legs suddenly becoming alive and kicking forward as I saw the lake.The sun had been scorching down on us in all its ferocity, barely sparing

I could see the silhouette of a man fast approaching where we were standing, and I was instantly on high alert. My hands reached back automatically to the back of my jeans, and I removed an object, craftily hiding it behind me. I had hidden weapons all over my body, and I was currently holding a steel blade that had been so well sharpened that it could cut through anything.I had very good throwing skills, coupled with good hand-eye coordination, so should the person pose a threat to me, I would have the blade firmly lodged in his neck before he could move further, so perfectly that he would be unable to breathe freely.The silhoutte was getting closer, and with it was the scent. That sweet, enticing scent that could only belong to one person wafted to where I was, and I was sniffing it like a dog, wanting more from where it came.The man behind the alluring scent came out of the shadow, his sharp features clearly visible in the dark, and I was holding my breath.Just his presence alo

Maya was urging me to ask my mom about the voice recording because she felt she would have opinions about it. According to her, Kiayra told her that she would know about it. Kiayra was my mother's wolf and had been with her since she shifted.So if there was anyone who would know these things, it was definitely Kiayra. So I listened to her, and I was sending my mother the voice recording. The parents were currently out of town because they went to pay a visit to my aunt.And yeah, my dad is aware of everything that has been going on; he only called to ask me if I was okay and if I ever needed help from him. My dad is a firm believer in letting people do what they want, as long as they are not doing the wrong thing.He said I was the alpha now, and the pack was mine. It was my decision to run it however I wanted to run it, as long as I didn't ruin it. Many people may not agree with that sort of reasoning, but it has helped me grow into a strong, independent woman.But I do believe I am

I groaned as the loud ringing disrupted my sleep. Will there ever be a day where I get 7 hours of uninterrupted sleep? In another world, it may have been possible, but in this present world, I very much doubt that.I took a deep breath to calm myself before I lost it. "Patience, Jasmine, patience. It may just be important." Maya prodded me on, and I sighed as I picked up the device."Hello." I spoke into the receiver. Beside me, Lucas stirred as he heard my voice, and his eyelashes fluttered as he tried to open them, making me swoon because Lucas was always handsome on a regular day, but he was breathtaking when he was sleepy and a little cute."Alpha, help us." A voice whispered panic on the phone, and immediately I was up, every atom of sleep gone from my eyes. Lucas also stirred beside me and sat upright.I heard that voice; it was the woman's bratty daughter that was missing. "Suzy? Is that you?" Lucas' ears perked up as he heard the name. I had informed him of the missing person,
Her Second Chance Mate Chapter 90
The day was still young, and although the sun was still shining its bright light on us, I was drained and stressed out. I have been wrung out to the point that the only thing that could remedy it was quality rest. And that was what I was going to get now.I looked down at our jointed hands as we walked down the path to the pack house. I could feel curious eyes on us, but I could care less. I was happy that we didn't have to keep hiding the fact that we were mates.We had gotten up to the huge double mahogany door that stood tall and unyielding, and I was going to take another step forward when a thought flashed through my mind and I remembered that he wasn't living in this pack and may likely have somewhere to be. "Don't you have somewhere to be?" I asked, gently stroking the hairs at the back of his palm."Uh?" He raised his eyebrows, looking at me all confused."Your pack." I provided. "You can't leave the pack just like that. I am fine now, so you are free to go." It took great pai
