169. A blessing in disguise
Last Updated:
2023-12-12 18:00:24With 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.”

“What the hell are you talking about?” I brought myself to say as I found my voice.“That’s the only way.” He said, “I’m chained to her, Kiara. She’s controlling my brain and my actions through her magic. The only way her influence on me will die is if her magic dies with her. And only you are capable of getting away with killing her, because it is only you my wolf would never harm.”“I…” I said, “I’m supposed to kill her?”“Yes.” He said, “I found out about it just this morning.”“I.. I can’t kill her.” I said as tears flowed out of my eyes, “I dont- I ca

The skirt of my dress pooled around my waist as Marcus pulled the fabric upwards. Lifting my arms up, I let him peel it off of my body, leaving my chest naked to his eyes. Marcus’ eyes darkened as they roamed hungrily over my waist, all the way to my chest. Bringing his eyes to meet mine, he bored into them his hands traced his path.His rough fingers gripped the skin over my hips before they snaked their way up my waist. Laying his palm flat on my torso, he entered the valley between my breasts. My eyes closed in anticipation as his cold fingers inched closer to my right nipple, teasing the skin on my breast with their tantalizing movements.Soon, he took possession of the sensitive bud with his index and thumb, giving it a gentle squeeze. My eyelids fluttered apart as delicious energy cruised through my body, maki

I hadn’t noticed the time, but it was late by the time we found sleep. When I woke up in the midst of the night to quench my thirst, I’d noticed that it was in the early hours of the morning. However, the mattress beside me was empty and I could’t find Marcus’ phone on the desk either. I frowned to myself. Where could he have gone?I quickly went for my phone and shot him a message. I didn’t want to call him in case he was away for important work and my call would only pose a disturbance to him. If he didn’t reply soon, I would have no choice but to ring him to ensure he was safe.‘Where are you?’ I texted and waited a good two minutes before my phone rang in my hands.Squintin

“That was amazing,” I said as I broke away from him to catch some air.“Trying to make up for lost time,” He said, grinning, “You’re in for a treat for a very long time. And for many days to come.”“You can be assured I’m looking forward to it.”“Well, why don’t you get to shower then?” He said, “We’re running late.”“Will you join me?”“I’ve already showered,” He said, regretfully, “Moreover, you’d be done quicker without me. I won’t be able to resist you there.”

I glared at the tight wires that tied around my wrist, threatening to cut into my veins. Any movement I did could risk getting my skin slit, essentially causing myself to bleed out. With my jaw clenched, I looked up at the witch that caused this.“Don’t look so angry, Kiara.” Audrey said as she walked toward me, “Within a few minutes, it’s all going to be over.”“For you or for me?” I asked.Her eyes everted to mine, fixing me with a stern look. Halting in her step, she positioned her hand towards my head. Right then, an intense ache set off in my head, one that I’d experienced multiple times today. Long after she stopped her spell, my head was throbbing, making me fight to remain conscious.

Marcus pulled the black fur coat tighter around me once I was ushered into the car. My legs were still shivering against the cold air of the night when Marcus tucked a strand of hair behind my ear, prompting me to look at him.“I’ll be back.” He said, “You stay put, yeah?”As soon as I nodded my head, Marcus closed the car door and walked back into the house. I could see silhouettes moving about through the translucent glass windows that covered the window. Looking away I stared blankly ahead of myself, trying to process what just happened in the last one hour.Everything right from when Marcus left me at Ethan’s house to him finding me again in this deserted house was crystal clear to me, and my mind was constantly repla

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.
