32. Distance
Marcus’ POV
Even breathes heaved in and out of her, her chest rising and falling with them. Submerged in the slumber, gone were the creases between her brows. She resembled a baby oblivious to the cruelties of the real world, away from the understanding of a heartbreak. The sight of her clenched my heart, for I knew I could only admire her beauty with my eyes. As she fell asleep in the comfort of my presence, a protective instinct within me urged me to plant a kiss on her forehead, but I no longer had the right.
Every fiber in my body shook with vexation, fighting the urge to claim her as my master, but it was my heart that was at the true war. Because I loved her, I knew that there was no room for my desires over hers. While I sought nothing more than to tell her a million times that she belonged to me, or rather, I belonged to her, I p

Marcus’ POV It was a chilly afternoon here in Ingram. The confines of my office room were inducing suffocation, so I decided to step out for a walk. While the issue with Kiara was still on my mind, there were other things of grave importance that needed my attention. The main issue for me at hand was the rising tension in parough. Ironically enough, I’d taken a break from my duties and came here, however, my absence there was causing me more mental stress than if i had been there to take care of things myself. It was perhaps why my dad always said once you’re the Alpha, nobody else can take care of your job for you. While you have several men who can potentially cover for you, but under the lack of leadership, an army of lions can be tamed down to an army of dogs. A pang of regret cruised through me at the realization, wondering if things would have been different had I not come here. But, upon further thought, I realized that nobody could have foreseen the attack from the Lycans.
My Second Chance With The Alpha 34. Speak of the devil
Marcus’ POV I was waiting by the bus stand at 7 pm, impatiently tapping my foot against the ground. Natalie was rarely late and considering how she was relying on public transport for her journey today, I could hardly blame her. In the wake of the recent events, I knew that I couldn’t take the attack on Kiara lightly. Although she suspected that Asher was behind it, I highly doubted it. He wouldn’t go to such an extent for something so trivial. When I met his father, his disappointment in his son was evident, as Darren had always meant to be on my good side. His son was sabotaging our friendship, and I knew for a fact that Darren would never allow that. Irrespective of it, I also knew that Asher would not have the power to kill his own mate. The person who had meant to harm Ki
My Second Chance With The Alpha 35. I think she's here
Marcus’ POVNatalie had clutched her head by the time I finished narrating the entire story to her. She hadn’t failed to express her surprise when I told her that Kiara’s mate was Asher, none other than Darren Smith’s son.“Alpha Darren’s son?” She said, “Wow. That is one messed up story, Marcus.”“Told you.”“I mean, I can’t believe your stay here has been so eventful. I thought you’d be dying of boredom here.”My lips thinned in response, but I managed to look away before she could see the hurt in my eyes. Unlike her, I couldn’t find the situation comical at

Kiara’s POVMusic filled the air of the vast space, but I could only hear the beat of my heart. The commotion around me faded into the background as the world stilled in-front of my eyes. I was vaguely aware of my surroundings, but my eyes were fixated on only one person.Marcus.As though he felt my eyes on him, he quickly stiffened in his seat. With a determined look, he swept his eyes around the place, searching for something. Afraid his quest was to find me, I instinctively hid behind a pillar shaped like a barrel. Jutting my head out slightly, I watched him.The woman beside him demanded his attention now, but he was not distracted. His eyes still looking around, he muttered something to her. At his wor
My Second Chance With The Alpha 37. Leave me alone
Kiara’s POVMarcus' eyes first landed on the woman beside me before he found me. Astonishment poured from his eyes at the sight of me, and then, his eyes slowly traveled down my body to access my state. When he seemed to realize what happened, his jaw tightened. Muscles propped along the side of his face as he grinded his teeth together, evident anger etched on his face. With a murderous glare, he looked at the man in front of me.Without saying another word, he came to stand in front of me, guarding me from him. Before he could react, Marcus blew a punch on his face. Hands flew to my mouth in surprise as I saw him grabbing his nose in distraught. He was bleeding.“You will stay the fuck away from her, get that?”
My Second Chance With The Alpha 38. What do you want me to say?
Marcus pov“Marcus, you need to start talking.” Natalie said from across the table.We were currently sitting in my living room after having showered and changed into our night clothes. Natalie had tried talking to me on our way back home but I remained dead silent. I was too furious to say anything and I was afraid that I would unnecessarily project my anger towards her. Moreover, I was hell bent on going away from that wretched place as soon as I could, so that the air I breathed no longer had any traces of her lingering.“What do you want me to say?” I asked, eyes fixed on the glass window onto my right.Streams of moonlight poured in through them, reflecting off the beads of moisture that acc
My Second Chance With The Alpha 39. I'll be waiting for you
Kiara’s POVAs I was nearing the day, exhaustion was slowly taking over me. We had history class in the end, and I struggled to keep my eyes peeled apart all through the hour. When my classes for the day were finally complete, I leaped from my seat to hurry back home as soon as I could. There was nothing I desired more than the comfort of my bed and the relaxing sleep it would offer.I had barely caught any sleep last night after coming back home at 2 am. Anna had just returned to our room then, so when she saw my state, she was taken by surprise and demanded to know what happened. By the time I finished narrating the events that occurred at her workplace, the night broke into the dawn. I had expressed how sorry I was for not having been of much help to her at her work place, but she assured me that it didn’t matter. Her employer w
My Second Chance With The Alpha 40. You're my mate
Kiara’s POVThick layer of moisture accumulated on the glass, impairing its limpid view. The weather outside was colder than normal as the dark cloud eclipsed the sunlight. The calmness in the air warned of a possible downpour later in the evening, as darkness was slowly engulfing the town. A ring of a bell snapped me back to reality. Looking over my shoulder, I glanced at the new arrival in the cafe, but it was not somebody I knew.Sighing, I brought my attention back to the hot coffee placed before me. The latte art still lingered on top, undisturbed. Scooping my fingers around it, I felt the warmth seep through my skin. As I took a sip from the hot liquid, I couldn’t help but wonder if I was going to be stood up after all.When it came to Asher, I had little
