Sia BrownHello! I hope these couple of chapters helped you understand Marcus' POV and how he's feeling about everything. When there are supernatural elements involved, the plot will sometimes take turns that might not seem reasonable, but they're fictional ploys employed to grow the character. But fear not, there will be lots of beautiful chapters in the future that I hope you will enjoy. I'll try my best to do justice to Kiara and Marcus <3 Thank you so much to everyone supporting this book and leaving behind insights and thoughts in the comments. I read all of them, and I'll eternally grateful to have such an amazing community. You make my writing process infinitely more rewarding <3 <3

My Second Chance With The Alpha 164. Good things from the past
Kiara’s POV Marcus has been acting weird. First he asked to share a bed with me in the cottage last night, and now he was willing to sign us up in the same room. When I’d asked him why we couldn’t stay in separate rooms now that we were at the verge of separation, he gave me a glare. “No couple stays in different rooms.” “But we’re not a couple.” I shrugged, “And I doubt the people around will notice anything.” “I don’t want to risk it.” He said, “Like it or not, as long as we’re here, we need to act like the perfect couple.” I scoffed at him. “Like it or not?” I repeated, “As if I were the one that had a problem with anything.” “We’re going to stay in the same room. End of discussion.” “Geez, fine.” I said, playfully slapping his arm. Mere seconds ago, he was the perfect gentleman who would open the door for me and help me carry my bags, but within seconds he went back to being a rude idiot. Sometimes I really think he was hormonal. Nothing else could explain this bipolar na

I was blind to its beauty before, but the region of Madria was easily one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever been to. It was like Windshire in many ways, like the chill in the air, the beautiful landscape and the warmth of its people. However, it was also vastly different from the somewhat modern way of living of people of Windshire as opposed to the more old school way this region was built. Minutes into the ride, I was greeted with tall buildings that I’d only ever seen in history books before. It felt like people lived in the past here, and the chariot that I was riding no longer seemed odd to my eye. Infact, I saw many versions of it throughout the city. Few had its passengers revealed to the world while the one that we were riding in gave us privacy as we rode through the streets. I suppose ours was more of a carriage. I could sense Marcus’ eyes on me occasionally as I stared out of the window in wonder. He drastically increased my expectations for our destination. He surel

As I stared at my own reflection in the mirror, I couldn’t help but be pleased with my appearance.The bottle green ball gown Bella picked out for me was proving to be a great choice now, contrary to what I believed before. When we’d initially bought it, I wasn’t sure if it would make me look the way I wanted to tonight. I didn’t mean to stand out but I surely wanted to look different. I wanted to appear fierce and bold, somebody who belonged. Somebody who suited the man she was accompanying, somebody who would be respected as the Luna.At the same time, I wanted to look beautiful. If there was a part of him that initially fell purely for my external beauty, then tonight I wanted to revoke that part of him. I wanted him to court me into the ballroom with pride, reinstating to everyone that I indeed

As we turned to our side, I found a young man, perhaps of Marcus’ age or little older, grinning at us.I watched as Marcus’ face split into a grin as his eyes landed on him. “Roger.” He said, “What a surprise. I heard you weren’t in attendance tonight.”“Well, change of plans and here I am.” He said and opened his arms.I stood awkwardly as both the men exchanged pleasantries but not for long. Soon, his eyes fell on me and a knit formed over the bridge of his nose.“And who is this lovely lady by your side?”I wore my best grin once again as Marcus wrapped his arm around my

Roger instantly let go of my hand and placed it in Marcus’ awaiting palm. “She’s all yours, Mark.” He then looked at me, “See you later, Kiara.”Once Marcus snaked his hand around my waist, he pulled me against his chest and stared down at me. He had an unreadable expression on his face as he said, “So..” He started, “If you wanted to dance, you could’ve just asked me.”“I was going to, but you had other business to take care of.”He frowned to himself for a heartbeat before he realized what I was saying. An apologetic look crossed his face, “Right. My bad.” He said, “I wasn’t aware you liked to dance.”

With a heavy heart, I walked back into the ballroom. After Marcus left me in the corner, I remained there for a few minutes to compose myself. I hadn’t anticipated hearing what he said, and his words have sent my heart into a ruckus.My suspicion had been true.Marcus wasn’t entirely unaware of our situation. He knew everything. He knew about the potion and what it was doing to him. Only difference was that, despite knowing everything, he wasn’t doing anything to fix it. From his words, it seemed to me that he was trying to fight it with everything he could, but he was failing.Why would that happen?If he knew that he was driven by a magic potion, why would he

His morose eyes bored into mine as I felt a touch on my hand. When I looked down, I found his fingers wrapping around mine.“I’m sorry I left you like that.” He said, “I didn’t mean to abandon you here all alone. I just-”“I know.” I said. “I wasn’t angry with you. I just want to go home, Marcus. Can we please head back?”“Of course.” He said, “I need to meet Hugh before we leave. Would you like to accompany me or will you wait here?”I shook my head, “No, you go ahead. I need to use the loo anyway.”“Alright.” He said an

Marcus just finished speaking to someone on call as I peeled my earrings away from my skin. I watched from the corner of my eyes as he shut the door to the balcony behind him before he started approaching me. I placed all the jewelry back in a box before I placed it on the desk, and right when I was about to get up from my seat, I felt Marcus reach me. He forced me to face him as he kneeled down beside me, turning my seat toward him.“That was Hugh on the call.” He said, “We got that bastard.”I stared absentmindedly ahead of myself, unaware of what to do with that information.“I promise you I’ll kill him, Kiara.” He said, “You won’t ever have to see him again.”

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.”
My Second Chance With The Alpha 195. Better than anyone
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.
