Her Second Chance Mate Chapter 75
AriezelPresent dayI stood, stuned at Asher's words. Goddess. What was I supposed to say to this?It was already a shock, learning that somehow, I was the one who had the power to sever our bond.To take him back again? To give him another chance? It should hae all been ludicrous. I didn’t have to do so after everything he had done, and I had already told him that we couldn’t go back. Yet why did my heart still ache at his words?I looked down to the ground of the garden. A place that once filled me with joy was now a maze, filled with a myriad of sorrows, joys and confusion. I almost had the urge to bring my hands up to my sight, if not for the will to keep utterly still under Asher’s gaze. I was now the one in control. No longer a bystander nor a victim waiting for the pain to happen. This time, I was the one who held the choice to go through with it.In my hands. I was the one who could end all of this. If I went to the pack priestess right now and told her to sever Asher and

AriezelIt took a few days with some secret informal communication with Ambrose, but in a few days time, we were ready.Hariet and I made eye contact with each other before quickly looking away.At this moment, we were in our living room which also served as a dining area. I was sitting on one of the couches, stitching one of my worn clothes- a skill I had to learn in the former pack. Harriet was in the open kitchen, cleaning the freshly washed plates, and the main focus of both of us, Alys, sat on one of the couches reading a book.Even though she was evidently content at this moment, there was no doubt that her eyes were no less hollow as they had before. She was still the same way, even if she used a temporary reprieve. It was enough encouragement for me to push this forward.Halting my stitching, I turned towards Alys, who hadn't taken notice of me yet.“Alys, why don’t you go to the market today?” I asked as planned. That was only the first step, getting her to leave the house.

AriezelI stepped out to the living room in a rush to see her struggling to remove her shoes.“Alys?” I called out.She looked like she was prepared to get out of her skin. She didn't notice me, nor answer my call. The closer I came, I could finally see what was wrong.On her cheeks tears shone, with unmistakable tear streaks. And I realized that she was stripping. It hit me too late.“Alys wait!" I called out, but the moment she stripped her last piece of clothing, she was off.I saw her transform into her wolf form, a deep brown wolf before she ran off further into the woods. …Only an hour later, Harriet came back, looking more worn out than I had ever seen her. her defeated look alone halted any questions that I wanted answered.Instead, I remained silent the moment she walked in, plopping over the couch with a sigh. With Alys gone and Harriet defeated, it was evident that none of them were going to do much, if anything- tonight. So burying the questions and worries away, I ins

AriezelAsher was standing right in front of me.I sucked in my breath, willing the image to go away. But I couldn't deny the hard chest pressed up against my own, or the green eyes that left me devoid of breath.He was here. After the last time I had seen him -face to face - in the garden. After I had denied turning towards him as he spoke and revealed that the severing of the mate bond was now in my hands. The one I wanted to avoid stood in front of me.In an instant I pulled away, ignoring the disappointment and shocked hurt I saw in his expression. He made no move to ask how I was, he didn't even speak at all.I looked at him all over. He looked better. Better than the ruined broken image that haunted my eyelids. There was no scent of alcohol. The gaunt tired and teary look I had seen before was no longer as drastic.A part of me felt relief seeing this. At my relief, beration followed.I couldn't let myself be bothered anymore by his appearance.I took one step back, then another

Ariezel“Hey Ari, I found somewhere completely empty.” she said.My eyes were such to the corner she neared, panic rising up my throat.But there was nothing I could do to change what happened next.“I doubt any of the pack are going to come…here…” she trailed off as she finally appeared in view, seeing me…and Asher.Surprise filled her features. She looked at me, then back to Asher then at me again.I saw every detail on how her face shuttered instantly, keeping a neutral tone that seemed positive as she bowed down to Asher.“Greetings Alpha Blackwell. ” she said.“Hello Harriet.” he said, making her stiffen in response. I looked at him with surprise. Though I had spoken to them, I was sure he had never truly met them, hence my surprise in being able to remember her name.“It is a pleasure to be recognized by the Alpha.” she said neutrally, though not out of fear, Harriet spared the bare minimum, displaying caution. She looked at me in surprise and I acted quickly.I quickly reached

Alys“Leave.” I ordered the two girls, staring daggers into them as they scuttled away, fear and apprehension clearly written in their eyes before they turned away. they scuttled out of view, slipping off to the corner of the hall before disappearing out of view.Seconds after I was sure that they were out of sight, I let my shoulders slump and breathed out slowly. All the weight I had been carrying down my shoulders weighed on me even harder now.I looked down at the broken ceramic piece that remained scattered on the floor thanks to those two girls. Despite my orders they had been careless. Breathing out one more time in a sigh, I moved forward, slowly crouching carefully and picking up the broken bigger pieces.How ironic. Broken, just like my heart.During times like these when days tempted me into sadness, i grwe frustrated and angry.And I missed him. More than anything I missed his small smiles, his warm comfort.But I couldn’t stand coming second in his life, not to the dut

AlysStepping out, I entered the hallway.Where was the room I was looking for?I stopped when I finally found it. Before I could enter my instincts drew me back.What was that? It felt like I was being watched somehow. Turning back there was nobody in sight in the hallway. I sighed as I turned back to the door.Exhaustion filled my bones from the constant thought of Ambrose, and I knew I couldn't stay in the pack house for long. I was almost done with my duties anyways. The new assistant could deal with the rest. Whilst I could go back home, where Harriet and Ariezel would be waiting for me.Carrying the supplies down to the storeroom, I stretched lightly.Finally, I could-Click.My ears perked up at the sound. It couldn't be.I snapped backwards immediately, eyes wide open to see what had happened.Running to the door, I tried opening it only to find that I couldn't.It took everything in me to not use my full strength, but either way I had a feeling that it wouldn't budge anyways.

AriezelWe had waited for hours on end for them to finally come out. It was, if anything, a struggle.At first we heard a conflict with the door lock and shouting, only identifying it from the way it projected through the room which was soundproof. After it became quieter, with little snatches of sound here and there until soon, it became completely quiet.It felt like I had been holding my breath for all the time spent, even though in reality I was breathing just fine. Harriet had yawned for the tenth time between then and an orange glow filled the windows, showing that the sun was going down.And then finally, after waiting for so long, the door clicked open with certainty.The door slowly opened, the creaks breaking the silence. There were no other noises at first until footsteps came.Now I was literally holding my breath. I couldn't see them from my eyeshot, so all I could do was anticipate. Was it a success?There came murmurs that I knew I could have easily heard if I heightene

Ariezel “Look out there! It's a pretty bird!"I looked in command, spotting the bird Camilla spoke of.Rubbing her hair gently, I shifted my gaze to face her.“Yes. It is a lovely bird." I said, smiling at her giggle.She turned back, her red curls bouncing along with her.She was the youngest out of the two of my half sisters, nine years old, although she continuously argues that she was turning ten.After getting to know Florian, he introduced me to both of them with joy. Although for now they only saw me as an aunt and the future Luna, in spite of our resemblance.It hadn't taken long for her to grow used to me, although Jolene, the older one, was more reserved.I turned to look at her in the hall we were staying in. She lounged in a chair, short blonde tresses resting on the couch as she read a book. She was the sole outlier out of us, and she was mostly quiet, always analyzing whenever I was present.It was okay, I didn't mind staying for as long as it took for her to get used t

143: AriezelIn the end, Alys and Harriet left us alone in the room. We stared at each other for what seemed like ages.I couldn't believe my eyes as I stared at the man in front of me. It seemed more like a dream as I looked at him over.I felt him doing the same to me, awe and surprise written over his face.But we couldn't stay in silence for long. Not as it stretched to the point of awkwardness. Finally regaining a bit of my senses, I parted my lips to speak.“Hello." Both our voices chorused.I blinked in surprise. As it seemed we had both spoken at the same time.The single word seemed to sway through the tension that was presented. I cracked my lips in a small smile.“Please sit down." I said, gesturing to the chair which Alys once sat in.I was sure Alys must have been grilling Harriet by now. After all, she hadn't kept this from just me but from her as well.I waved the thought away easily. Alys and Harriet were the last thing on my mind as he sat down.It was even more uncan

Ariezel“So one of the members said that she insulted her butt, so the other- her name was…Amber I think? Proceeded to shiver her own butt in my face just for comparison.”My stomach hurt badly solely from the amount of times I laughed. It was so difficult to catch my breath from the words Alys was saying.Thankfully, she waited till I was done before she spoke again.“In the end," Alys sighed despondently “The fight turned into a butt comparing contest with people as the audience and I being the judge. All I could think of at the moment was that this wasn't what I had prepared for."I howled again in laughter, the humor of her deadpan words further aggravated by the resigned, almost haunted look on her face. In my laughter I vaguely heard Alys laughter follow as minutes passed.My breaths heaving for air I looked at Alys to find an amused look on her face.“I glad that my misery could make you a little bit happy.” she said.I shook my head quickly in response .“I'm so sorry." I apo

AriezelI was weightless, swimming in darkness without a care in the world. It felt like there was nothing holding me back. It might as well have been true.Like wisps of smoke, memories and voices came to me, only to fade away the moment I tried reaching out for them. In the end, I remained floating.I didn't know how much time I had spent, but soon, everything began to fade. The weightless darkness I floated in materialized until a firmament grew below, carrying me. The weightless darkness faded into something else. Something more material.Like a disk, I was drawn out of my water and the peaceful darkness, into something more material.And slowly but surely, I opened my heavy eyelids to see blinding light.It took me time to adjust, squinting and blinking against the harsh brightness. Once I finally did, all my other senses came back.A soft but firm surface below me, the scent of comfort that wafted over and ceiling I felt familiar in.Where was I?My memories then came back and

AsherI focused on her, taking her hand in mine in spite of everything in me that resisted.“Hello Serena." I said in a gratingly low voice, looking into her eyes.She sighed, looking awestruck as she looked at me.She, just like all the others who had once fought and scrambled to force me to mate with them, only saw what I was from the outside. A ruthless alpha and a powerful one.There was only one who didn't.Thoughts hammered in my head, coaxing me to go back and fix what I had done. I stayed firm however and brought the blonde woman closer.It was only a matter of time.“Let's go inside Serena.” coaxing her away, I led her inside, eyeing the rest of her guards who moved away, paving the path for us.Together, we moved through the forest with her and I at the forefront whilst the rest of my soldiers and hers followed from behind. Our arms were linked as we walked while she spoke ravingly. She kept on rambling about how she knew that I was going to come back to her and all her :sac

Ariezel My breath caught as those words reverberated through my brain long after they had gone.‘What?'My heart stuttered the moment I heard them, confusion filling my senses as I looked at him.It wasn't an illusion. Those were the words that came out of his mouth.‘Why?’What was he thinking? Why would he say that?I tried to look at him, praying that he would look at me and tell me that it was a hoax or something. Anything.But he kept his eyes away, focusing on Serena.“Asher." I cried out. I struggled against their grip, uncaring at that moment. It was only when I felt the threatening cool metal pressing against me in warning that I stopped.I didn't stop looking at him however, hoping that my call would finally make him focus on me.To my relief, it did.When he looked at me, I didn't expect to see his gaze so cold and shuttered.I was thrown aback by the sudden stare. This wasn't my Asher. The distance in his stare reminded me of back then, when he suddenly left me.My blood t

Ariezel “Relax. He'll be back in no time.” Alys said.I smiled at her in turn, yet I couldn't focus properly.Under the protection of soldiers within my room, Alys and Harriet stayed to keep me company throughout. Hours had passed, yet with no news, we stayed in place with more worries than not.Alys had left the hospital and held the same worried gaze in spite of her constant assurance. It was especially more of a necessity for her considering that Ambrose had gone along with Asher. Now we were both waiting and hoping that all went well for the sake of our mates.“I…I actually have something to tell you guys." Harriet spoke hesitantly.I was grateful for any distraction that could take away the churning anxiety.I had never expected what she would say next.“I found my mate."My jaw dropped.“Oh my…oh Goddess." Alys was the first to move forward, taking Harriet's hands in hers.“That's so good. I'm happy for you.” Alys gushed out.I knew that in spite of her carefree attitude, she

Asher The night was still, without so much as a cricket sound.My gaze swept the place. As I had expected, the security was lax.‘How foolish of them.’We had left the pack by evening, marching and moving until we hid close to the border of the Pack.When I told Ariezel of the sped up plans, she was worried, kissing me goodbye on the forehead.“Be safe." She whispered.My heart skipped a beat for her, knowing that she was out of my reach, filling me with anxiety.But there was no reason for me to be so worried about her this time. I had placed several guards under her to watch.Now? It was already midnight. We had trailed the path, waiting inconspicuously for hours. Whether or not Derek was here, at least I would be able to finish off one thing.It was soon time. My instincts were on overdrive, pumped with adrenaline. I could feel the weight of the celrescent moon above us.They wouldn't see this coming.I rose my hand to signal them all.This was the same thing they had done to us.

Asher “199…200.” I grunted out, pushing my body up.Only a day was left before the attack was launched. Until them, I had to continuously put myself in prime condition for certain victory.That involved constantly working out day by day, straining myself to the limits within the span of time I had.My days had only been limited to those two things; training and Ariezel. I wasn't shy to say that the majority of my time was spent with Ariezel, whether it was from taking walks with her to watching over her in the nights till early in the morning. I remained constantly by her side.Nothing was going to happen overnight, much less after two days. She was still reeling from my acceptance and remained hesitant. My heart still ached as she woke up with nightmares.But unlike before, she never faked a smile like before. She spoke openly about her nightmares before she slipped back into sleep. Even when she stiffened at the mention of her condition, whenever I was there, she relaxed. This tim
