Her Second Chance Mate Chapter 48 - Alex
Death by edging. I wasn’t sure if that was possible, but it sure the fuck felt like a possibility. No fantasy I ever dreamed of being with Holly could hold a candle to reality. Holly was going to be the death of me, and even if I don’t get to cum before I meet that end, I could say I would die with a smile. I would die a happy man because Holly Boland, the star of every fantasy I’ve had since I was sixteen, TIED me up in the hayloft and gave me the most mind-blowing blow job without ever blowing my load. And now? Oh fuck, now she was naked and riding my cock like she was made for it. I suppose she was since we are mates. Or maybe it’s more that I was made for her. No, it’s both. We were made for each other. I don’t care which it is. All I cares about was that Holly had let me in. Maybe not completely in her heart, but I was currently balls deep in her slick heat, wanting for nothing except to be untied so I could touch this woman in all the ways I’d dreamed. As she leaned over me,

The cool night air drifted through the cracks in the hayloft, chilling the sweat still cooling on my skin. I sat on the edge of a pile of hay, my bare feet brushing against the wooden planks as I pulled my shirt back over my head, the scent of Alex still clinging to my skin. My body hummed from the pleasure we had shared, but my mind was a battlefield of emotions—exhilaration, guilt, longing, and something deeper, something more terrifying. This was the first time I had been with a man since Nigel. The first time I had let myself go, allowed my body to surrender to someone else’s touch, someone else’s kiss. And it had been more than just a surrender—it had been a claiming. A mutual, unspoken agreement that something between Alex and me had shifted, evolved. I clenched my fingers into my jeans before yanking them up over my legs. I could still feel him on me, in me, and I hated how much I already wanted him again. The worst part was that none of it had felt wrong. Being with Alex hadn

The barn air was thick with hay and dust, but all I could smell was rage. It burned through me like a wildfire, every word from Claire’s mouth stoking the flames higher. I had known she was hateful and had a mean streak a mile wide, but this? Calling Holly a kennel slut? Spitting venom about Tristan being tainted by being around supernatural creatures? The way she had screamed my full name like she had any right to command my attention after all these years? If I hadn’t already been at my breaking point, how she mocked Aurelia would have done it. I forced myself to breathe. Losing control wouldn’t help anything. It wouldn’t protect Tristan or Holly. It wouldn’t undo the damage Claire had already caused. What I could do was make sure she never got another chance to wreak havoc in our lives. I yanked my phone from my pocket, my fingers tightening around it so hard I thought I might crack the screen. I didn’t hesitate before opening a group text with Aurelia and Holly. Alex: Claire is

I stared down at Claire’s unconscious body, my mind racing with all the possible outcomes that could have come from tonight. What would she have done if she hadn’t been taken down so quickly? Shot me? Shot Alex? Would she have found and hurt Tristan? The thought sent a wave of protective fury through me, and I had to take a slow, deep breath to keep from growling. I wasn’t just angry at her. I was angry at myself for not sensing the threat sooner and for not being more prepared. I’d spent years training for danger, always being vigilant. Yet, somehow, I’d not even considered Claire a threat, let alone be involved in any of this. I always believed that Claire was, at best, a petty, selfish woman with a chip on her shoulder. That she was a coward and otherwise someone unworthy of being Tristan’s mother. I hadn’t realized she would be a real danger, not just a nuisance of the past. That mistake wouldn’t happen again. “Are you all right, Holly?” Mary’s voice broke through my thoughts. I

When Holly placed her hand over mine, I felt the tension in my shoulders ease just a fraction. It wasn’t much, but even the smallest reprieve felt like a lifeline. My grip on the coffee mug loosened, but I didn’t let go. I wasn’t ready. I hadn’t allowed myself to process it yet. Claire was back, not as some long-lost parent seeking redemption but as a threat armed with wolfsbane-tipped rounds and a dagger. She hadn’t come here for him. She hadn’t even come here for me. Her target had been Holly. And that infuriated me as much as it terrified me. I forced myself to breathe through it, focusing on the warmth of Holly’s hand against mine. I wanted to keep holding on, but the sound of the transport unit’s doors slamming shut outside yanked me back to the moment. Claire was secured for now. Logan and Aurelia were speaking in hushed tones near the front door. Their patrol unit was moving with practiced efficiency as they checked windows and reinforced security. The weight of the situation

As Alex pulled into the driveway, something felt off. The patio light was on, casting its usual glow, but the door hung ajar. A cold unease crawled up my spine. Alex tensed beside me. “Stay in the truck,” he ordered Tristan. Tristan frowned. “But…” “No, Tristan.” Alex was stern. Alex reached for the door, but I gripped his arm. “We go in together.” He nodded. We both knew this wasn’t just a break-in. Someone had sent a message. ‘Cowards. I want blood.’ Kira snarled. ‘No one threatens our mate and pup.’ We stepped out cautiously, boots crunching on gravel. The scent of Claire and strangers—human and wolf—hit me hard. The house had been compromised. Alex pushed the door open. We froze. The place was ransacked. Drawers yanked out, furniture overturned, shattered family photos. Claire’s scent lingered, mixed with unfamiliar masculine human and werewolf all around. “Dad?” Tristan’s voice came from the truck. “Stay put,” I reminded him. His worried eyes darted toward the chaos. Ale

I woke to the scent of coconut and jasmine, Holly’s shampoo, but the tranquility I felt was deceptive. Claire had ransacked my home, and things could have been worse if not for Mary. I tried to clear the tightness in my chest. Holding Holly last night had steadied me; she was mine, regardless of our circumstances. But as morning arrived, so did the reality we had to face. There would be no lazy day on the farm. After feeding the animals, we headed to Bloodmoon. Upon arrival, the tension was palpable; the packhouse felt like a fortress bracing for an attack. With more people on alert than usual, it was clear Aurelia and Logan were preparing for a fight. I was grateful they would stand for me despite me not being a werewolf or an official member. Tristan walked a step ahead of us. His shoulders squared in that way that reminded me too much of myself. He hadn’t spoken much since we left the farm, but I knew he was sorting through everything, just like I was. I only hoped spending time

The weight of Charles’ words pressed down on my chest like an iron bar. You need to see it for yourself. I barely realized I was holding my breath as John and Sarael entered the room. John carried a manila envelope, the kind that made my stomach twist because I knew—I knew—whatever was inside wasn’t good. Sarael’s face was set in a grim mask as she placed her fingertips against the envelope’s surface—a ripple of energy spread from the point of contact, something ancient, something otherworldly. “It was hidden,” she said, voice low and steady, “Under layers of suppression magic. Hunters are clever. They know how to keep their secrets buried.” She turned her piercing gaze toward Alex. “But this one was meant to be found.” Alex didn’t hesitate. He reached for the envelope and something slid out, landing face-up on the table—a photograph. My stomach clenched. A family picture. Alex, Tristan, and Alex’s parents. It had been taken years ago when Tristan was small enough to be carried

Her Second Chance Mate Final Author Note
To all my incredible readers, Thank you for being part of this journey. From the moment Alpha Logan was written to the final chapters of Her Second Chance Mate, it has been an unforgettable ride. This 12-novel, 9-short-story series has taken us across the world, showing that love and family come in many forms. No matter race, gender, or sexuality, everyone deserves love, a place to belong, and the freedom to define what family means to them. Writing the Bloodmoon and Incubi series has been a labor of love over the past four years. Somehow, it feels both longer and shorter since I first started. These characters, their struggles, their victories, and their love stories have become a part of me—and I hope they’ve become a part of you too. While this generation of stories has reached its conclusion, my writing journey is far from over. A next generation lingers in the back of my mind, waiting for the right time to take shape. But for now, I’m stepping away from the supernatural a
Her Second Chance Mate Epilogue Part Two - Alex
I took a deep breath and tried to remebrr whag i had written down. “Holly… if you’d told me years ago that every twist, every wrong turn, every moment I thought was leading me nowhere was leading me straight to you—I don’t think I would’ve believed it.” A soft smile tugged at the corner of my mouth. “But standing here now, looking at you, I know that every detour, every heartbreak, and struggle brought me here. To you. To us. And I wouldn’t change a single step of that journey because every single one led me home.” I swallowed hard, my thumb brushing over her knuckles. “I love you not just in the big, obvious ways but in all the small ones. In the way, you stand strong even when you’re exhausted. In the way, you let the boys win just enough times to keep their confidence up but still remind them who the boss is. In the way you look at me like I’m worth something more than I ever believed I could be.” My voice wavered slightly, but I kept going. “I promise to walk beside you wherever

I woke before dawn, the soft glow of morning stretching across the horizon outside my window. The air smelled of fresh-cut grass and damp earth, grounding me as I sat up, rubbing a hand over my face. Today was the day. Today, my last boyhood fantasy about Holly was coming true. ‘You nervous?’ Leo’s voice slipped into my mind, steady as ever. Three years later I was still getting used to him. Having a wolf spirit tethered to me when I wasn’t born a werewolf was an adjustment, to say the least. Gifted to me by Nigel the night Holly and I marked each other, Leo wasn’t just some supernatural extension of myself—he was a reminder of everything that had come before—a reminder of the man Holly had loved first and the one she had chosen now. ‘I'm not nervous,’ I answered silently. ‘I'm just… letting it all sink in.’ Leo let out a low huff. ‘You’re lying to yourself. You want this more than you’ll admit.’ I exhaled, rubbing the back of my neck. Leo wasn’t wrong. To the supernatural world
Her Second Chance Mate Epilogue Part Two - Holly
Alex’s hand found mine as the noise of greetings faded into the background. His warm, calloused fingers provided reassurance amid the chaos. I turned to him, noticing his softened expression contrasting with the bustle. Rather than being overwhelmed, he radiated a quiet contentment that comforted me. At that moment, it felt just like the two of us, surrounded by the noise yet wrapped in our own calm. “Come with me,” he murmured, voice low enough that only I could hear. I didn’t question it, feeling a mix of anticipation and reassurance. With a final glance at our boys—Samuel expertly engaging with his Folsom cousins while Tristan animatedly introduced the D’Amore quadruplets—I could sense that new friendships were about to blossom. The excitement in the air was palpable, and I did not doubt that their spirited energy would lead to endless plotting on how to push their limits tonight. With a quiet sigh, I allowed Alex to lead me away from the bustling crowd, trusting that our boys wer
Her Second Chance Mate Epilogue Part One - Holly
Two years. It didn’t seem possible that so much time had passed, yet here I was, standing beneath the glow of the arena lights, watching as Alex’s dream unfolded before me. Whitland Rodeo was no longer just a hope, a distant goal we whispered about late at night when exhaustion threatened to steal our resolve. It was real—alive, bustling with excited voices, the scent of fresh hay and leather thick in the air, and the rhythmic hum of country music blending with the distant sound of hooves against packed dirt. I squeezed Alex’s hand, feeling the rough callouses that had formed from endless days of labor. “You did it.” My voice was quiet, meant for only him, but the way his fingers tightened around mine told me he heard every ounce of emotion in those three simple words. He let out a long breath, which I knew had been held for too long. “We did it, Wildflower.” His eyes swept over the scene before us—the grandstands filled with people, the livestock pens lined neatly, the banners pro
Her Second Chance Mate Chapter 73 - Alex
I… I have a wolf. I, Alexander Michael Whitland, the HUMAN among werewolves, have a WOLF! My mind was blown at the thought of being anyone’s mate, let alone Holly’s second chance, and now this. Everything about last night still feels surreal, from the marking, seeing Nigel, to him giving me Leo because the Goddess lost a BET, and shifting for the first time. My brain is still overloaded. ‘You’re the excitable sort still, I see.’ Leo commented as Holly and I returned to the farm after packing camp. ‘Oh, come on, dude. You barely knew me before you died. I’ve totally grown up since then. You’re in my head; you have access to my memories. You should know I’m not the same boy that had a crush on your mate,’ I huffed. ‘Uh-huh. I don’t know how much has changed from what I’ve absorbed from your memories. You dipped your dick in crazy and lucked out to get a good kid out of the deal.' He snorted. 'I’ll give you credit, though. You’ve put in the work to train hard and to raise your boy. Yo
Her Second Chance Mate Chapter 72 - Holly
I gasped as reality slammed back into me. The weight of my body pressed into the earth, and Alex on top of me, his skin damp with sweat against mine. His breath was hot and ragged against my throat, his chest rising and falling in uneven shudders. We were back. The air was thick with the scent of earth, pine, and sex. The cool night breeze contrasted with the burning intensity inside me, but I barely noticed. I could still feel the bond between us—woven into our very beings, humming beneath our skin, connecting us in an ancient, irrevocable way. I sensed the swirl of emotions stirring in Alex’s mind through our bond. Alex groaned, his forehead pressing against mine as he exhaled a shaky breath. “Holy shit.” His voice was hoarse, rough from what we’d just done. I swallowed hard, my arms still wrapped around him, clinging to him as if letting go would break the spell. Our mating had been anything but ordinary. What we’d just done wasn’t ordinary, even with Alex being human. It wa

Holly’s lips were fire against mine, burning away every hesitation, every lingering doubt. I wasn’t weak. I wasn’t fragile. Not here, not with her. None of the chaos that’s happened recently mattered. Tonight wasn’t about any of that. Tonight was about us coming together and making this official. Or at least official in the eyes of the supernatural community Her body pressed against mine, soft curves molding against me, igniting something primal, something I’d kept buried for too long. The kiss deepened, tongues tangling, teeth grazing, breathy little sounds escaping her lips between each hungry meeting of our mouths. I wanted to hear more of those sounds. I shifted, rolling her beneath me, the thin sleeping bag doing little to shield us from the cool bite of the earth beneath it. The rough texture of dirt and grass pressed against my forearms, grounding me in this moment, this night, this woman. Holly’s hands slid beneath my shirt, her nails dragging lightly along my stomach, se
Her Second Chance Mate Chapter 70 - Holly
The evening air carried a whisper of cool and crisp autumn against my skin as I fastened the leather straps on my saddle. The scent of pine and earth wrapped around me, mingling with summer’s faint, lingering musk. As the sun dipped lower toward the horizon, the sky stretched wide, painted in gold, orange, and deep purple streaks. We had enough time to reach our campsite before nightfall, where we’d picnic under the new moon. Tonight, everything would change. ‘Stop overthinking,’ Kira’s voice purred through my mind, firm but affectionate. ‘It’s happening. It’s always been meant to happen.’ I exhaled slowly, steadying my hands against the saddle horn. Had it? It had only been a little over two weeks since the fight—two weeks since Benton was finally dead. Since the war he had waged against me, my pack and my family had come to a brutal, bloody end. But the fight wasn’t over. Brendán O’Brion was still out there. And we were no closer to knowing who had sent Benton after me. I cle
