Everything that happens in front of me goes in slow motion, and I stare as I try to move as quickly as possible through the people to get to her.

My wolf is agitated; he wants to kill and tear apart the other one — who, even though pregnant, doesn't seem to care about hurting herself or her child.

She still holds my mate's hair while shouting something I can't hear. My steps are firm, and Malia seems weak, blinking slowly.

I panic when I see her dress start to turn red. Blood. Her blood.

Joshua appears and pulls his chosen mate away, staring at her in disbelief. I feel a lump in my throat and want to cry now.

I pick Malia up in my arms and hold her against my chest, running out of the hall very quickly. I follow a familiar path, and when I reach the entrance of the infirmary, I have no voice to explain.

Damon is the one who appears and tells everything exactly while I stare at the blood on my fingers, remembering where it came from and that it could be a risk to my child.

    "Don’t you ever get tired of destroying our lives, of meddling in everything? You’re ridiculous," I spit out, unleashing everything I feel in my chest. "You and Joshua deserve each other, deserve the mediocre life you have and all the crap you go through and will continue to go through." I stare at her. "That's why you could never be an Alpha Queen. You’re unfit. You’re cruel, you’re bitter... I hate you. Don’t ever cross my path again, understood?” “Jaden,” Joshua begins. “You can’t talk to her like that. Besides being Luna, she’s pregnant.” "Screw you, her, and your bastard, Joshua," I shout at the top of my lungs, even though I know I'm making a scene for everyone present. "She’s a murderer, a damn murderer! Can’t you do anything right? You can’t even get a concubine?” “I’m not a concubine…” she says, offended. "That's the only thing that offends you? Pathetic!" I roll my eyes. “I never want to see you again. I don’t want to know about either of you in my life. Forget about

    MaliaI can’t remember where I am, but the cold wind hitting my face scares me. I take a deep breath, jolting up, only to find myself in a huge garden full of flowers.The sun is high in the sky, but the cold wind still makes me shiver a little and hug myself. Where am I?I frown and stand up, looking around. “Hello?” I call, but get no response.“Hello, Malia,” I hear the voice echoing, and I turn abruptly, searching for the owner. But nothing happens.“Who are you?” I ask, frowning.“It’s me, Malia,” the voice says behind me, and I turn, only to find a woman standing there.She is beautiful. Thin face, full lips, small nose, and slightly slanted eyes. Her skin is pale, her eyes dark, and her black hair provides a striking contrast.She wears a white dress that fits perfectly to her curves. Her hair falls over her like a tunic. The thin strap, seeming to be made of gemstones, extends along her arm, creating a braid. She is beautiful, I can’t stop repeating.“Thank you,” she smiles.“

    #### JadenI was feeling like trash. I wasn't eating properly, wasn't bathing, and spent my time locked in the room next to Malia, waiting for her to wake up.Keeping her sedated was the best option. Mark was as desperate as I was since he couldn't sense Fawn's presence anymore.This indicated that losing the pup had broken her. Mark was disappointed with himself, and I felt empty."I can't believe I wasn't good enough for her to trust me," he growls inside my head."Mark, it wasn't your fault! It's not our choice," he licks his lips. "I mean, she needs time, let's just give her that..." I squeeze Malia's hands between my fingers. "I also want our mate to wake up and look at us, but... we have to deal with this!" I take a deep breath, filling my lungs.Two knocks on the door interrupt us. I mutter a brief "come in," feeling completely upset, and see Damon enter."We've got everything. We're leaving by plane," he says. "We'll leave and arrive so quickly, we won't even notice.""I don't

    It was a quick trip from that pack back home. The Red Rock pack had an indescribable beauty, but I never wanted to encounter it again, ever.I was so angry. I felt awful for agreeing to go, even though it had been very useful for us.We had been back for a week, and as the previous doctors said, the numbness of her wolf could hinder her healing. So, we had done a battery of new tests to decide if she would wake up or not.I was broken inside. My shell had cracked and was about to explode. I cried at least once a night, in our bed — which still carried her scent — alone and thinking about what I did to deserve so much suffering.I thought about ending it all, but then I thought of Malia and the pack. They needed me!“Jaden,” Damon called me as I walked down the enormous hallway.“Yes?” I turned to face him.“Man, something is happening,” He sighed.“What is it?” I asked, furrowing my brow.“Come with me,” he said.We headed towards my office, and when I entered, he closed the door behi

    When I burst into that hospital room, Malia was having her blood drawn. Her eyes lit up with recognition and sadness when she saw me."Love," I say, drawn out and holding her hands, leaning slightly over her. "I'm sorry, I should have gone with you. I should have taken care of you, please forgive me!""No, Jaden!" She runs her fingers through my hair. "There's no one to blame in this story except that woman," she sighs, her eyes welling up with tears."I wish I had been here when you found out," I say bitterly. "I asked Paul... he...""It wasn't him who told me," she swallows hard. "Can we be alone?""Of course," I nod my head."Are these walls soundproof?" Malia asks, looking around."No," I frown.She nods and looks at Paul, who is still tending to her. "When can I leave?""Well, I think if you're going back to Luna's room, you're already doing well enough," he smiles weakly at her. "I'm sorry this happened, Malia.""I'm sorry too, doctor," she says in a whisper."Well, here are som

    Malia"I received a visit from the moon goddess, Jaden," I look at him deeply, wanting him to see the absolute truth in my eyes. "And she told me some things... that made me very... suspicious of everyone." I hold his fingers against my chest. "You believe me, don't you?""Of course I believe you," he says, holding my face. "All of this only confirmed what I was already suspecting." He sighs."What do you mean?" I ask, furrowing my brow."I didn't want to worry you," he squeezes my fingers against his palm and sighs. "But my main reason for going there was that during that one week I was missing, I was attacked and almost killed by a group of rogues. They knew exactly where I was and what I was going to do in that pack. Damon and I managed to get away from them, but we knew something was wrong. How could they know exactly where to go?" I sigh, closing my eyes. I almost lost my mate and didn't even know it. "It turns out that my parents arranged it. Apparently, they paid those rogues t

    An entire month had passed since my last conversation with Jaden about the traitors. Deep down, he just wanted me to recover soon and so did I.Fawn was still absent, but I knew she was hiding somewhere, just waiting for the moment when she would be completely healed to face the situation head on.I also tried not to care as I paced back and forth in my dress meticulously chosen by me. I think it was the only thing Catherine didn't have an opinion on.Lately, we are not as close anymore and Jaden acts like it's no big deal. I mean, deep down, I know it's not a big deal, but I also wanted my will to prevail — and that didn't please the older one.She always organized all the events for that pack. She was always the center of attention and now that I had arrived, I understand why she is apprehensive.Deep down, I know exactly how she feels!I just don't want an important moment for me to be taken as a mere event. I'm going to become Luna of this pack and officially, a member. I really n

    Of course, I was filled with joy knowing that my family had decided - on their own - to attend my ceremony. They seemed so happy for me, even though I still felt upset and rejected by my father.I mean, I don't know if, despite the years of harsh insults from him - and I have to admit this - I can still see a different sparkle in his eyes when he looks at me. It's not gratitude or love, like my siblings have for me, it's something I can't quite identify."You look beautiful," Mom says, running her hand down the side of my dress. She cups my face and makes me look at her. "You are strong, Malia. Go in there and do better than I ever could have done.""My girl," Peter says, pulling me into a hug. "I never imagined you would be with Jaden. With Jaden.""Is it really that hard to believe?" I laugh softly, looking at him."He was my friend, dear," he holds my fingers. "We weren't the best, but we were close. He always pointed out how cool he thought it was to treat you so well...""Well,"

    20 YEARS LATER“Darling?” I called as I opened Jaden’s office door.“Beautiful.” He smiled warmly at me. “What do you need?”“Nothing,” I murmured, smiling back. “I just missed you.”“Well, lucky for you, I’m finishing up my work now,” he said, grumbling.“Well, even if you hadn’t finished, I would have insisted you stop.” I said, leaning over his office chair. His hands moved to my hips, pulling me closer.His lips met mine, and he drew me in, guiding my legs to either side of his hips. For the past 20 years, Jaden and I couldn’t keep our hands off each other. It was almost as if our bond was continually renewing itself, which was pretty incredible.Our kisses deepened, and he stood up from the chair with me still wrapped around him, placing me on top of his desk. Jaden's fingers traced every inch of my body.“Jaden, we’re running late,” I murmured, feeling him plant kisses all over my neck and chest.“No one will mind, Malia,” he whispered, as I dug my nails into his shoulders.Jade

    Two months later…The pain overwhelmed me completely. It was early morning, and I groaned as I got up and placed my feet on the cold floor of my room.“It’s time, Malia,” Fawn said in my head.“Oh my God. Not again,” I groaned.“This time, with just one baby, we can have a natural birth,” Fawn said, excited.“Oh, no! It… it must hurt,” I whimpered.“Malia, we’re strong, dear,” she winked at me. “We’ll manage. We always do. Look at everything we’ve been through,” she sighed.I nodded as another wave of pain hit me, and I groaned while getting out of bed to try and go to the bathroom, only to find water running down my legs and dripping onto the floor.Jaden jumped up, startled, and turned on the bedside lamp. “W-what?” He seemed to be trying to process what was happening.“Dear, I’m in labor,” I said, biting my cheek.“We need to go to the hospital,” he said, jumping out of bed and searching for things I didn’t understand.“Call the doctor, Jaden,” I grumbled. “And your mother.

    I frowned, my gaze shifting between the two women. Sophie’s eyes were downcast, her hands trembling slightly as she kept them clasped. I had never seen her like this before — so vulnerable, so frightened. A shiver ran down my spine.“What’s going on?” I asked, my tone now more serious. “Is something wrong?”Sophie finally raised her head, her eyes meeting mine. They were filled with so much emotion — fear, hope, regret. It was as if she was carrying a weight that was crushing her from within.“Jaden,” she whispered, her voice wavering. “There’s something you need to know… something I should have told you a long time ago.”My heart began to race. Malia squeezed my hand gently, a gesture of support, but I could see the concern in her eyes too. Okay, something was starting to feel very wrong here.“Just tell me,” I urged, trying to keep my voice steady. “What is it?”Sophie took a deep breath, her chest heaving as if she was about to dive into the deepest, darkest part of the ocean. “I…

  • KING ALPHA'S SECOND CHANCE MATE    134 - The revelation

    I was determined. Today would be the day I would reveal everything to everyone. Finally, Jaden would know that Sophie was his biological mother, the one who had been prevented from raising him due to the cruelty of others.When Sophie entered the room to bring my breakfast, she looked as calm and composed as ever. She walked in with a tray and a smile on her face, but there was something in her eyes that made me feel it was the right moment."Good morning, Queen Malia," Sophie said, placing the tray on the table beside the bed. "As always, I prepared your coffee myself.""Good morning, Sophie," I replied, watching her closely. "Actually, I need to talk to you about something very important."Sophie raised an eyebrow, clearly surprised, and sat on the edge of the bed. "What happened? It sounds serious.""It is serious," I confirmed, looking at her firmly.I hesitated for a moment, trying to find the right words to express my discovery. Like it or not, it was something serious to share,

  • KING ALPHA'S SECOND CHANCE MATE    133 — The results.

    I woke up with the weak afternoon sun filtering through the curtains, feeling a restless sleep overtaking me. I barely noticed when I fell asleep. The time seemed to drag on throughout the afternoon, and every minute I waited for the results was a torment. I looked at Jaden, who was still sleeping peacefully beside me, and carefully got up to avoid waking him. I dressed quickly before anyone could appear and left my room, checking to make sure I was alone. I descended the castle’s corridors, my heart racing with each step toward the doctor’s office. Each footfall seemed to echo in my chest, reflecting the mix of anxiety and hope I felt. The need for confirmation and the fear of facing a painful truth was almost paralyzing. When I finally reached the doctor’s office door, I knocked softly and entered as soon as he gave a brief “come in.” He was sitting at his desk with a grave expression, which instantly sent a shiver down my spine. “Majesty, the results are ready,” he said, his

    "Why do you want to know about my mother?" he asks, his eyes dropping to me with a gleam. "She died, as you know, and—" "No, dear. Your real mother. Didn't your father tell you about her?" I ask. "Oh, that..." He clears his throat and looks at the ceiling. "Dad didn’t give me any photos or descriptions. But he said her name was Sophie, that she lived in our pack, but they were forbidden to live their love after they turned eighteen, when they hadn’t discovered they were mates." He pauses slightly, my eyes widening with each new piece of information. "So, my grandfather took my mother away. They reunited sometime later and spent one night together, making love. The next day, my father found his true mate, and my mother completely disappeared again. Dad tried to move on with his bond, but a year later, when I was only three months old, my mother showed up at his door, begging him to raise me." "What do you mean?" I frown. "Why?" "My mother had a cruel mate, love." His fingers twi

    Soph had a mother’s love. She took care of me with a tenderness I had only experienced in my childhood. Now, after my bath, I'm finishing my chicken sandwich while she brushes my hair in front of the mirror in my room.“You have beautiful hair,” she says, gently pulling it back to keep it from falling into my face.“Thank you,” I smile. “So, is the weather here always like this? Does it change so quickly?”“Ever since I got here, yes.” She nods.“So, you’re not from around here?” I ask, surprised.“No,” she laughs. “I’m from the other side.”“Where from?” I ask.“Well…” She clears her throat. “I think this is the only place I’ve really put down roots. I used to travel a lot,” she stammers a bit.“That must have been hard to do with a child,” I murmur.“Actually, no.” Her cheeks flush a little. “I did it alone. Reuniting with my son felt like receiving a gift from the goddess.”“That’s so touching,” my eyes sparkle. “Why did you leave him?”“Oh, I had a problem with my mate, who wasn’t

    The days have been almost all the same. I think the pregnancy has made me slower and sleepier, so by the time I wake up, Jaden has already left to start his work as king.I know he's trying to protect me because of the baby, but I want to help while I still can since, during my postpartum recovery, it will be impossible to do much. Besides, we'll have a newborn to take care of.A week ago, we found out that I'm pregnant with a boy. He’s huge, a bit bigger than the twins were, since he doesn’t have to share the womb with anyone else. I can already imagine that he’ll be a big, strong man when he grows up.I sighed as I placed my feet on the cold floor of my room and shivered. A cold front had arrived in the city, and I couldn’t quite handle it. I discovered that the climate here is much milder than in my old pack — which is several miles away from here.I was wrapped in one of Jaden’s hoodies, which was several sizes too big and reached halfway down my thighs, along with a pair of my sw

    I smiled widely when I saw Jaden. I walked over to him and gently threw myself into his arms. “Hi, dear. How was your day?”“Good,” I murmured. “But it's even better to be home.”The clock on the nightstand read 7:30 PM, which meant we had spent much more time out than we had planned. Anyway, today had been wonderful, and I felt more connected to the culture of the country.“And how was it here?” I asked, looking up at him.“Tiring,” he said, brushing a strand of my hair from my eyes.“You know you can always call on me for support,” I murmured. “I also have responsibilities in this pack.”“For now, you’re busy producing organs and tissues; I think you can take a break for a while,” he joked, and I laughed, rolling my eyes.“I still want to see the kids before dinner,” I said.“I stopped by earlier; they were in the bath, and I decided not to disturb them,” he murmured. “I was waiting for you.”I smiled at him, leaning in for a chaste kiss. As we embraced, I heard the children’s loud,
