The air grew colder as we descended deeper into Bloodmoon’s underground holding cells. Lined with reinforced silver bars and spelled wards, the walls hummed with latent energy. Even without being a wolf, I could feel it—a warning and a deterrent wrapped into one. Logan walked ahead, his frame compact but powerful, moving with the ease of someone bred for battle. His scruffy beard twitched as his jaw clenched. He wasn’t looking forward to this any more than I was. At the base of the stairs, Logan approached the high-tech security panel. A retina scanner flickered to life, scanning his eye before granting access with a soft beep. Only those approved could enter, ensuring no prisoner could escape, no matter their abilities. The heavy steel door unlocked with a resonant clank. The scent of cold stone and damp air washed over me as it swung open. Inside, dim, magical lighting cast eerie shadows along the corridor. The cells, reinforced with a combination of technology and hunter tricks,

Knowing Alex’s parents would be safe and far from all this mess had been a relief. Even if Alex hadn’t taken Aurelia and Persephone at their word, his parents excitedly called him a few moments later, asking him to keep an eye on things at their house and with the business. They apologized for suddenly leaving and hoped he and Tristan wouldn’t mind finding alternate childcare while they went on their impromptu vacation. With their safety secured, we left Logan, Aurelia, and Persephone to their pack tasks and searched for our boys—yes, I said our boys. Claire’s resurgence might have triggered the protective mom in me, but I knew that if I accepted Alex, that meant accepting Tristan. Honestly, it was easier for my heart and mind to accept Tristan and want to protect him as fiercely as I do Samuel than to accept Alex. I’d been worried about explaining the situation to Samuel and the most recent escalation of events to Tristan. I didn’t need to be concerned. We found them outside the p

We all headed inside—eager to be out of the late summer heat and potential prying eyes. Sure, the house was set far back, but if the hunters had set up Davis and Loretta’s deaths, they knew about the farm. Someone could, and likely are, be watching the property from a distance as we speak. Not creepy at all. I'll be so much happier and less on edge when Benton and his entire operation are put down like the rabid fucktards they are. Everyone moved toward the living room, settling into the comfortable seating around the fireplace. Holly sat beside Samuel on the sofa while Tristan took the seat on the arm of the armchair I occupied. Isis and Khalid remained standing, their sharp gazes taking in every detail of the space before finally settling on Holly and me. We’d all moved inside to discuss what John and Sarael’s team had done on the property. “We used a combination of old-world hunter tricks and some modern magic,” Sarael began, folding her arms as she leaned against the back of a c

As I waited in the living room for Finn and Clarence, my thoughts drifted back to my conversation with Isis. She had come to the farm to help with Sarael, John, and her brother Khalid, working hard to build protection barriers for all of us. Inside, Sarael explained the barriers while Isis occasionally glanced at Samuel and me, her expression reflecting ten years of grief and guilt. Alex suggested everyone else check the security system to give us space, and Isis turned to me, uncertainty in her eyes, making my chest tighten. “I...I didn’t know if you’d want to see me,” she admitted, her voice hoarse, as if the words had scraped her throat raw on the way out. “I wouldn’t have blamed you if you didn’t.” I exhaled slowly, adjusting the hem of my black cotton t-shirt. “I think, for a long time, I didn’t. But that wasn’t fair to you.” Her breath hitched, and she finally lifted her gaze to meet mine. Her blue eyes were glassy, filled with unshed tears. “Holly, I…” The words broke

Back in the main house, I trailed behind Holly down the narrow hallway, curiosity bubbling within me as we approached the door to Nigel’s childhood bedroom. When she gently pushed the door open, I couldn’t help but grin at the sight that greeted us. Samuel and Tristan had turned the middle of the room into an elaborate fortress. Chairs leaned together in a haphazard yet skillfully constructed manner, while brightly colored blankets and plush pillows were tossed atop one another, creating a chaotic but surprisingly sturdy structure. It looked like a hideout perfect for a childhood adventure. “Camping,” Tristan declared proudly, peeking from a small gap in the fabric fortress. “But, you know, inside.” Samuel, his brow furrowed in earnestness, nodded seriously in agreement. “Just in case someone tries to break in. This way, they won’t see us right away.” His tone was sober, a stark contrast to the joyful atmosphere that should defin children playing. As I absorbed their words, a lu

I’ve never been quiet during sex. I’d only ever been with Nigel, and we didn’t live with anyone else, and sadly, I didn’t bear any children while he was still alive. So, I never needed to bite back my moans or consider where in the house we were. Samuel must have heard my moans while Alex was going down on me because he called down the hall. “Mom? Are you alright?” Samuel innocently asked. “Dude, she’s more than alright. Now, shhh, before you’ll kill the mood.” Tristan laughed. Alex used my inner thigh to muffle his laughter. I rolled my eyes, grabbing a pillow to hit him lightly. I’d question how Tristan would know such things if his father had been celibate for the last ten years, but I know Tristan has spent the night with Logan’s children. Even though mated pairs can communicate telepathically, I know well enough from when I still lived in Bloodmoon that Logan and Aurelia are not a quiet couple. “Stop laughing…” I rolled my eyes. “And no one said you could stop.” There was sti

The inside of the surveillance van smelled like old coffee and old leather seats worn from years of use. The air was heavy with tension, thick enough that I could almost taste it. I sat stiffly in my seat. My fingers clenched into fists against my thighs as my gaze remained locked on the monitor in front of me. The screen displayed a live feed of Holly sitting alone at the park’s designated meeting spot, waiting. The midday sun filtered through the towering evergreens, casting shifting patterns of light and shadow across the well-maintained grass. Behind her, a walking path curved, leading deeper into the park, where clusters of bushes and trees provided too many blind spots for my comfort. The place looked peaceful—idyllic, even. A place where families gathered for picnics and kids played tag in the open field. But today, it was a battlefield waiting for its first strike. Holly sat at a weathered black picnic table, its metal frame bolted into the concrete pad. From this angle, she

I sat at the weathered picnic table with my hands clasped tightly to avoid fidgeting. Each breath I took felt at odds with the wildfire of anxiety inside me. The sound of children laughing, a splashing fountain, and the smell of vibrant wildflowers masked the chaos I felt inside. Birds chirped overhead, a frustrating reminder of normalcy, and joggers passed by, oblivious to the tension in the air. I wasn’t just waiting but bracing for an impending storm threatening to shatter my fragile calm. I wasn’t alone in this moment of stillness. Hidden in a surveillance van parked discreetly behind a cluster of trees, Alex, Hana, Finn, and Clarence monitored my every move. Their eyes, glued to the screens showcasing live feeds from the hacked security cameras scattered throughout the park, turned me into the focal point of their watchful gaze. It should make me feel more comfortable, but I wish Alex had been with me. It didn’t matter if he was recognized. The enemy already knew we were together

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. You r

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

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

I hate feeling useless. And you don’t get more useless than being laid up in a hospital bed for TWO fucking weeks. I had to hear secondhand about all the shit that’s gone down since I was injured. Benton is dead. Holly indirectly killed the fucknugget when interrogating him. Bitch folded like a piece of paper when he realized my wildflower was deadly serious about peeling his skin like an app. My mate is hard fucking core. He gave up the name of the fucker who put me in the hospital, the sadistic son of a bitch that would’ve killed my boys. Brendán O’Brion. It’s too bad that was the only name he gave before he went up in flames. I mean that, literally. The asswipe had these magically infused tattoos intended to protect him, but apparently, whoever did the spell-casting neglected to mention it also gave them backdoor control to silence him if necessary. They didn’t care that he gave up the assassin’s name, but his tattoos burst into flames when he was about to tell us who was
Her Second Chance Mate Chapter 68 - Holly
Oh, I was more than ready to beat answers out of Benton. But why had Finn and Logan called me in? They could make that pissant talk, especially if Logan let Jericho out. I changed into Alison’s training gear—I wasn’t ruining her fancy clothes with Benton’s filthy blood. After ensuring Samuel and Tristan were safe with Alison and Colby, I headed to the cells with John and Clarence. The last time I was here, Claire was the only prisoner. Now, the twenty-five-cell prison was filled. I was shocked so many survived the two-front battle. I glanced at the hunters and werewolves in their Bloodmoon red jumpsuits as we walked. They all looked broken, haunted. Logan and Finn had already worked them over, if I had to guess. Some sat huddled on their cots, rocking, muttering about monsters. Whatever they’d seen had shattered them. “What happened to the ones incoherently whimpering about various monsters?” I asked. John slowed and glanced at one of the pathetic masses, who looked like he needed a
Her Second Chance Mate Chapter 67 - Holly
I never want to experience that again. I broke when Nigel died. I don’t know if I was fully reassembled when I met Alex again. I’d only just started to feel whole again since accepting this new fate. To hear that Alex was hospitalized while protecting our boys nearly broke me. It’s a damn good thing he’s still alive. I don’t know what would’ve happened if he died. I don’t know if Samuel and Tristan would be enough to keep me and Kira together. I don’t know if the boys would be sufficient to keep me from going feral or just straight-up dying. We weren’t mated yet, but I felt it in my bones. If Alex hadn’t survived, I might not have either. If I’d managed to live through losing yet another mate in battle, I knew I’d go feral. I’d hunt down that masked fucker who took Alex from me to the ends of the earth. I wouldn’t stop till I had snapped his fucking neck. Even if it meant I would die, too. I’d leave the boys in the care of people I could trust, and I’d hunt that bastard till one of

Pain. A deep, dragging ache coiled through my chest, sharp and unrelenting. It pulsed with every shallow breath, reminding me with each dull throb that I was still here. I forced my eyes open, blinking against the harsh fluorescent lights. An antiseptic smell filled my nose—sharp, sterile, and far too familiar—Bloodmoon’s hospital. I've been here my share after training injuries, even woke up here once or twice after getting knocked out in a sparing fight. I wasn’t dead. Barely. Fragments of memory clawed their way to the surface, jagged and disjointed. The boys voices—urgent, terrified. A figure in the shadows. The masked man was lunging toward me. The deafening crack of a gunshot. Then, nothing. A presence near the bed made me shift slightly, and immediately, pain flared deep and raw beneath the bandages wrapped tight across my chest. A hiss escaped through my teeth. “Yeah, don’t do that,” a familiar voice muttered. I turned my head, grimacing at the effort, every mov

Benton grinned up at me, blood smeared across his lips like some twisted badge of honor. He thought this was a game. This mother fucker thought that he could get away with threatening my pack and family. He thought wrong. I’d ensure he paid for his arrogance, preferably with his life. He moved first, twisting his body in an attempt to throw me off before he even got to his feet. I didn’t let him. I already knew what he was going to do. The second his weight shifted, I countered, adjusting with the precision of instinct, my body reacting before my mind could fully register it. I had seen moves like his before—I had learned, memorized, and mastered them. Benton was a skilled fighter, but so was I. And unlike him, I didn’t fight for sport. I fought to protect. He managed to twist to the side, trying to escape my hold. I let him think it was working. Then, I struck just as he shifted his weight to push off the ground. I moved with him, using his momentum against him as I slammed my elbo
