My Second Chance With The Alpha 16. Pay the price
I tried to pull my hand out of his grasp, but he refused to let me go. “Kiara,” He spoke in a low tone, “Please, don’t test me. Tell me, who did this to you?” Unable to look at his furious face, I looked at my feet in hesitance. I did not think it was safe to snitch on Asher to Marcus. The two of them barely got along. If I told Marcus, I was afraid he would do something about it. If not confront Asher directly, he will want to report this to the principal. Unlike other students here, I was studying on a scholarship. Due to which, essentially everything was free for me, starting from tuition to housing. At the end of the day, Asher was still the Alpha’s son. If I angered them, it would only be a matter of time before they cancel my scholarship. The thought motivated me further to keep my mouth shut. “Just let it go, Marcus.” I said, and tried to pull my hand away from him. Much to my surprise, he actually let it go. As I hadn’t expected him to give up so quickly, I looked at him

The next morning, I awoke earlier than usual, however, I struggled to get out of bed. I dreaded going to school. After everything that happened yesterday, I didn’t know what to expect today. I prayed that Marcus and Asher wouldn’t cross paths, but that was all I could do. Pray. I hated the uncertainty of the situation, and that I was completely powerless against it. However, one good thing was that we did not have combat class today. Although I was usually eager to meet Marcus, I wanted nothing but to escape his gaze today. Sighing, I got out of the bed when the alarm finally went off. After about an hour, I walked up the stairs of our school and headed to my chemistry. We had a test today, and due to the commotion yesterday, I didn’t have enough time or energy to spare for the test. However, we were being tested on the module that I was good with, so I didn’t worry too much about it. This has always been the case with me. Although I worked my ass off to study, I was also one of the

As it neared 9:30, my pulse was beginning to race. Although I knew I was in safe hands, there were still a million things that I was worried about. Before I could ask Anna about what to expect from my first full moon, she left for dinner at her parents house. I was sure that Marcus would be willing to answer any questions I had but the nature of our relationship created certain inhibitions. Because of this, I sat by my bed, clueless as always, waiting for his car to pull up outside my dorm. My phone buzzed in my hand after a few minutes, prompting me to check the time. It must be him, I thought. Grabbing my bag that lay by the door, I walked out of my room, making sure I securely locked it. Nervousness was evident in my footsteps as I got closer and closer to him. My fingers tightly wrapped around the fabric of my bag as I chewed onto my lower lips in apprehension. I noticed that the air was chill, burning my nose with every breath I took. From afar, I could make out his head from

“Only a few more minutes,” Marcus said as he proceeded to remove the watch from his wrist. As the time was nearing, I couldn’t help but feel a pang of apprehensive cruise through my body. I had only heard about how it felt to be a wolf from a few people in my class but that information wasn’t enough to help my case now. I felt severely deprived of guidance, and suddenly, I missed my parents. On many occasions, I was even angry at them for leaving me to figure everything out by myself, but at the end of the day, I would remind myself that they weren’t given a choice to change things. “Ready, then?” He said. I shook my head subconsciously, “No.” Marcus’ gaze had turned tender, “Are you nervous?” “I’m lost.” I replied, frankly, “I don’t know what to expect.” “Haven’t you spoken about this with anyone?” I scoffed, “We’ve been through this.” I didn’t mean to sound rude, but I was growing tired of him being surprised at me for not having anyone to tell these things to me. I also felt

Marcus’ POV Under the alluring luminescence of the moon, I watched as Kiara let go of the confines of her human form to welcome her primal form. As her body expanded to limits she had probably never imagined, I was taken back in time to the first time I had transformed into a wolf. That night was unforgettable, as it was that precise moment that I felt truly liberated to realize my potential. It was only then that I felt like I was a power of nature. The dark forest had engulfed me in entirety, proffering me its own energy so I could finally unite with it. All the tales and legends I had heard about that night were coming to life, yet, my experience remained unique, untold and unheard of in any part of history. A sense of belonging emerged within my heart, now beating with enough strength to send a bout of exhilaration through my veins, and I finally became a wolf of my pack. Today, as I watched the silvery furred wolf reclaim its purpose in front of my eyes, I was welled with prid

The moon was still shining bright in the sky when Marcus and I reached my dorm. I was looking down at my fumbling fingers as the car came to a halt, and felt Marcus’ eye on me. We stayed there in silence, unable to figure out how to proceed from there. After what felt like eternity, I finally broke the ice.“I think I should get going.” I mumbled, “Thank you so much for today, Marcus, truly.”He gave me a heartfelt smile, “Of course.”“I’ll see you tomorrow at school then?”“Sure, have a good night.”“You too.”When I got down the car, I finally felt like I could breathe the air in. I let out a sigh of relief. As much as I loved his company today it was borderline suffocating, not because of him, but because of the new situation that we found ourselves in. I genuinely appreciated whatever he did for me till now, but our new found desire for each other overwhelmed me. Simply, I didn’t know what to think. I didn’t know if I wanted to be happy or sad. Did I even have a future with him? W

Having caught no sleep the entire night, my eyelids felt heavy, but sleep still evaded me. When a beam of light escaped through my blinds, I realized that it was breaking into a dawn and I might as well start getting ready for school. After an hour or so, I found myself walking towards my school building, not failing to notice the empty parking lot. I couldn’t spot his car in it, but again, he could’ve also parked it in the basement. Trying to ignore the potential disappointment in my mind, I made my way to his office anyway, sincerely hoping that he had come. True to my fear, he didn’t. I sighed at the sight of his empty office, not even a thing out of place. The man surely knew how to stay organized. Maybe I could come back during lunch, I thought, and made my way to my first class which was chemistry. I shared this class with Leslie, and the reminder made me groan. I was not ready to face her today. I was already running on a low battery, picking a fight with her was not on my l

Asher’s POV My mind was still disturbed when I pulled into the driveway of my parent’s house. While I spent most of my days at the house where I live with the boys, I often found myself coming back to my parents’ whenever I felt like I needed a break from school. Today was one such day. Ever since Kiara entered my life, it felt as though everything was going downhill for me. My relationship with Leslie had been affected, and she was now more insecure about herself than ever before. She had always been possessive about me and constantly demanded my attention, but lately, her obsession was off the charts. Unlike Kiara, Leslie knew exactly what it meant to be somebody’s mate, hence why she completely understood and felt threatened by my unavoidable interest in what was happening in Kiara’s life. Tyler had reminded me time and again that since I rejected her, I essentially had no say in how she decides to cope with things, but somehow, I wasn’t able to wrap my mind around it. I just co

My Second Chance With The Alpha 200. Epilogue
It’s been four months since the war, and nothing remained the same. The aftermath of the battle was just as gloomy as the events leading up to it. Although the threat to our survival diminished significantly, it took us a long time to accept the disastrous consequences of the war. With so many lives and resources lost, we all had to work extra hard to restore the balance of our community. However, it was only after these four difficult months that we found a reason to celebrate once again. And the occasion was Bella and Lucien’s much awaited wedding. When Lucien took over his empire, Bella and him decided to move out of our house. Starting a new life of their own beyond the mountains, they remained away from us for longer than we’d hoped. Although Amanda visited her a couple of times, both Marcus and I haven’t been able to make time for the same. So naturally, when I met her earlier today as we arrived at their new house, I couldn’t control my tears, and neither could she. “I’v
My Second Chance With The Alpha 199. You did it
Considering who we were dealing with, we should’ve known better than to believe that the Lycan King would stick to the rules of the war. When the war began, both the parties established that none of the fighters would carry the war beyond the battle ground. However, after experiencing significant loss yesterday, the Lycan King had perhaps realized that they were heading for defeat. It drove him to do what he was doing right now, breaking rules and going to capture Bella. Thank God Lucien and I caught them before it was too late, for I don't know what would have happened if the Lycans had infiltrated the town. “Where are they?” I asked in impatience as I looked out of the window. As soon as Marcus was informed about what the Lycans were up to, he asked us to head straight home. Bella, Ethan and Natalie were already shifted home by the time we came, along with the baby and the other staff at the medical center. Our army was heading into the town now to fight the Lycans although few

“I heard you were hurt.” He clasped his eyes shut in regret, shoulders slumping down. When he opened them once again, his eyes flickered toward the two men who were awkwardly standing by his side.“Please leave us alone, Potter.” “Yes, Alpha.” The man with the blonde hair nodded and walked past me to exit the room. Once my eyes were on him again, I noticed that his disappointment was still persisting. “Come on,” I said, “You can’t be mad at me.” “Of course I’ll be mad at you Kiara, what were you thinking?” He said, “I’d particularly told you to not do anything stupid and you come all the way into the danger zone all alone?” Tears welled in my eyes at his strict tone. I understood why he was reacting like this but I hoped that he would have some empathy for what I was feeling. He couldn’t expect me to not do anything when I knew he was in danger. “I couldn’t help it.” I managed to say, “I was scared for you. And I knew that if I told anyone, they would never have let me come here
My Second Chance With The Alpha 197. Following my heart
My hand instantly wrapped around her, reclining her onto a nearby stretcher. Thank God I’d asked for a midwife to stay on stand-by, I was suspecting this would happen. “Take her into the operating room right now!” I said as the nurse took over. “Kiara.” She clutched my hand, forcing me to come with her into the room, “I… I need Ethan.” My heart twisted in pain as I looked into her eyes. Conflicting emotions arose within me as I contemplated what to say to her, making me temporarily devoid of voice. Noticing my hesitation, she shook my hand once again.“Kiara?” “Yeah…” I said as I found the courage to answer her. There was no way I could tell her the truth in this condition. I would have to mask it with a good lie until she was in a position to hear the truth. “Natalie, I’m so sorry, dear. But Ethan is in the middle of a battle. I’ve got the news about half an hour ago, I can’t get him to you now.” “Oh, God.” She groaned, falling back onto the pillow, “I don’t think I can do this
My Second Chance With The Alpha 196. Trust
Although Marcus was giving me the most reassuring smile he could, I couldn’t help the trepidations in my heart. The war had arrived much sooner than I’d expected, making it even harder for me to let go of him. In fact, I didn’t think any number of days would have prepared me for this one, for no wife would want to bid adieu to her husband as he prepares himself to fight the most cruel monster known. Despite my attempts to have faith in Marcus’ abilities to kill the Lycan King, I couldn’t help the worry that traveled all the way to the pit of my stomach. It was merely days ago that we were happily relishing our honeymoon, and now, Marcus was heading to a war. I was feeling a lot of emotions right then, but fear dominated them all. “Kiara?” He said, placing his hand on my shoulder, “Oh, don’t look at me like that, darling.” Pursing my lips, I gave him a defeated look, “Alright,” I sighed, “I’m going to be so worried for you.” “I promised I’ll be careful.” “I don’t trust you.”

As luck would have it, Marcus and I arrived home right about the same time. Relief washed over his features as he saw me running towards him, opening his arms for me. “Thank God you’re alright.” He said as he pecked my forehead. “Marcus,” I said, breathless, “What the hell was that about?” “We got news that Mary’s Husband, Victor, is part of a rebellion.” He said, “He is a Lycan.” “What?” I asked, “H-how did he-“ “He mostly probably came as an Immigrant, and is looking to turn our people against us.” He said and looked towards our house. “We need to get out of here, Kiara. Our men are going to take care of it. I’ll deal with him later.” “Okay.” I nodded and let him lead me into the house. Within minutes, our bags were packed and loaded into the boot. Hoping into the car, Marcus drove away from there. “Does this mean Mary was also a Lycan?” “Most probably.” He said, “Her husband is leading the rebellion. Of course, she’s aware.” “I knew it.” I mumbled under my breath, “How co
My Second Chance With The Alpha 194. Get out of there
The next morning, Marcus got up earlier than usual.After having endured very little sleep the previous night, I’d expected him to sleep in through the morning. He didn’t inform me anything about our plans for today, so I was curious to find out what he was up to.As he stepped out of the bath, his eyes frowned against me. “You’re up early.”“I could say the same about you.”He shrugged, “Well, I have some work in the town. I’ll have to step out for a bit.”“Can I accompany you?” I asked, “I’ll be bored here.”“You?” He said, “What will you do there? Trust me, you&rsqu

Thankfully, the cook was gone by the time I returned back into the dining room.Having wrapped myself with a robe, I let the wet strands of my hair dry against its fabric. Marcus was swiping on his phone mindlessly when I walked in, but upon noticing my figure, he put it away.“Were you waiting for me?” I asked as I poured myself some orange juice.Nodding, he held out his own glass to me. After filling it to half, I put the juice container away.“Is everything okay back at home?” I asked as he opened the dish to serve some food into my plate.He looked at me. “Of course. Why do you ask?”&nbs

“How long is it going to take?” I asked as I splashed some water towards him.Marcus gave me an unimpressed look, staring down at his white shirt that was now filled with wet marks. I couldn’t help but giggle as he walked further away from the shore, to a point where the waves wouldn’t meet his feet. Shoving his free hand into the pocket, he said something into the phone.Rolling my eyes at him, I swam further into the water, enjoying the blissful morning in the ocean. I ducked my head under the water and tried to swim along, positioning myself along the force of the waves. As another sway of the wave pushed me from behind, I momentarily lost composure and flipped. Frantically moving my arms, I tried to stay afloat until my feet reached the sand.
