My Second Chance With The Alpha 22. Mark my words
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

I looked at my father in apprehension. I was surprised to see his disappointment with my decision. Wouldn’t he have done the same? “Yes,” I said, “Because it was Kiara Walce. How could I ever accept her to be my mate?”He gave me an incredulous look, as though my reason wasn’t logical enough. In his eyes, I was scared to find some disappointment. On his side, my mother held similar expressions of regret and sympathy, which honestly didn’t make me feel any better. “I don’t care who it was, Asher. Do you even know what it means to reject a mate?” He said, “You cannot go against nature’s norms like that. You might have just cost this pack its future heir.” I looked at him incredulously, “Dad, you cannot be serious right now,” I said, “Rejecting my mate doesn’t mean I can’t be with anyone else. You know I love Leslie right? I intend to be with her forever.”“But she is not your mate, son.”His reasoning was only increasing my inner turmoil. I was already struggling to deal with the con

Kiara’s POV My feet were tapping against the floor below as I waited for the clock to strike ten. I was currently sitting outside the principal’s office, waiting for the rest of the party to join us. Principal Sherman had asked everyone including Asher, his parents and Leslie’s parents to join the meeting to discuss the recent complaint I had raised against him. As time passed, I only started to grow more nervous as it was the first time I would essentially be defending myself against such important members of the pack. I wished Marcus had been by my side today, as he always seemed to know what to do when it pertained to matters involving Asher. More than his moral support, his defense in my case would’ve helped me tremendously, as he had seen what Asher had to me in the past. His words would undoubtedly weigh significance. Sighing, I opened my phone for what felt like a thousandth time since yesterday, but I still failed to receive any reply from Marcus. Minutes later, I found my

“I do not wish to study in a place where I have such a threat from people like her,” Asher said, “I demand that she is kicked out of here.” Suddenly, I felt as though the life that I managed to build for myself was shattering before my eyes. With the Alpha involved, he posed a great threat to my scholarship. If that was revoked, I would again have to depend on the Stones for my education and there was no chance in hell that they would support me. They were merely waiting for a chance to ruin my life, and I had presented it to them on a silver platter. How stupid had I been to think this was a good idea! If only I had stopped myself yesterday from going to the Principal’s office. It wasn’t like what Asher had done was anything new to me. I had been mentally and physically abused all my life. If I had endured it a little longer, I would have had the opportunity to get away from here once and for all. Now I lost the only chunk of hope I held on to in life. I was back to square one. E

“Marcus, wait a second,” Alpha Darren said, “I hope you’re not mistaken because-” “I can assure you that I am not, Alpha Darren.” He said, “Infact, I’m going to go ahead and bring it to everyone’s notice and Kiara is not just abused by him but also Leslie Stone and the entire school. This is something Principal Sherman has to look into and take strict action.” I quivered at the scene that unfolded before me. What was he doing? I wished that I could somehow escape this room and run far, far away. I didn’t want any of this to happen. I didn’t need to garner more attention from everyone than I already did. For years, I had stayed away from the wrath of Benson, for I knew that it wasn’t something I could endure time and again. Just the thought of it was making me tremble, silently praying that Marcus would keep Leslie out of this. If the Principal ended up taking any action against her, Benson would never forgive me. I also couldn’t help but worry about what this said about my relation

The restaurant was busier than usual for a Tuesday, forcing me to arrive early. The business was usually better on the weekends, but some special occasions call for extra duty hours. I could hardly complain about my situation because this was exactly what I needed. If left alone with my thoughts, I was sure that I would go crazy anytime soon. Most of my evening was spent juggling between tables, scribbling down orders on my notepad and fetching dishes from the kitchen. It was the usual drill, and on days like this it felt therapeutic. I enjoyed the monotony of it, the predictability of what would come after what. Doing things like this made me feel less tired, as it ultimately left the pressure off my mind, which is what drains me the most. However, every once in a while, I couldn’t help but let Marcus into my thoughts, and everytime he tried to enter the confines of my heart, it would painfully clasp shut. I hated my logical mind that wouldn’t just let me give into the temptation

He picked up the phone after three rings, “Kiara?” “Marcus!” I was exasperated. His voice was now serious. “Are you alright?” “Marcus, I-I… I was just… I don't know-” I stammered. I had too much to stay but I could form nothing comprehensible in my mouth. Laced with fear and angst, I silently hoped he would understand my agony through the tone of my voice and come for my rescue. “Kiara, what the fuck happened?” “I was coming back… back from work… when I felt.. S-somebody attacked me.” I managed to say. “What?” He exclaimed, “Where are you right

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

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.
