“I cannot believe this girl.” My mother spoke, annoyed. “Always desperate for attention.”
I frowned at her in disbelief, “Or desperate for help.”
When Alpha Marcus had earlier narrated what he had witnessed, I could barely control my anger. My blood was boiling. Beta Benson, as Alpha Marcus had claimed, was about to strike her with a belt as a punishment. If Alpha Marcus hadn’t arrived in time to rescue Kiara, I could only imagine what would have happened. She would’ve been grievously hurt.
What made matters worse was the fact that this was a frequent occurrence in their household. Upon the realization, I could only imagine what Kiara must have gone throu

Kiara’s POVI was just winding up my work at the restaurant when the clock struck 9. My shift officially ended. As it was a friday evening, the restaurant was filled with a throng of people. My shift had been hectic, barely giving me any time to breathe in between. When I walked out of the restaurant in my normal clothes, exhaustion hit me at once. I yearned for nothing more than the comfort of my bed and a good night’s sleep that followed. However, I was not going to get home for another thirty minutes.Sighing, I opened my phone to check for any notifications. My last text was from Marcus, telling me that he was running late but he would be here in another fifteen minutes. Ever since the attack, Marcus had insisted on accompanying me back home whenever my shifts ran late. I usually work the evening shift so that I could be back at home before

I earned a surprised look from Marcus when I slammed the car door. With force, I yanked the seatbelt across the body before tucking it into the socket. My persistent glare was now directed at Marcus, who had a worried expression on his face.“What?” I asked.“Is everything alright?”“Yeah, why wouldn’t it be?”“Just checking.”I knew that Marcus wasn’t convinced, but he decided to remain silent. Pulling the gear rod forward, he eased the vehicle from the parking mode and started accelerating forward. I felt Marcus’ eyes on me every now then, but I was absorbed by

Marcus’ POV“We found him.” I heard Ethan speak.Holding my phone between my tilted head and shoulder, as I twisted the key. Ethan’s words took me by surprise, prompting me to clutch my phone against my ear, ensuring I heard him right. Locking the door behind me, I walked into my living room.“What?”“Yes.” He confirmed, “And we were right, Marcus. He is not a werewolf.”Upon further investigation in Parough, we unearthed multiple missing cases and suspicious deaths. What was even more peculiar was their injuries, they were not typical werewolf bite marks. It ruled out the possibility of an internal conflict, so we only had to assume that it was the Lycan&rsq

“Earth to Kiara!” Anna’s loud voice snapped into reality at once. I had been submerged into the textbook in front of me, shielded from the real world by the blasting music from my headphones when she suddenly screamed in front of my face. Flinching, I looked up at her at once.“Christ.” I huffed out loud, peeling my headphones away from my ears. “What’s the matter?”“Did you see this?” She said, flashing a piece of blue paper envelope in front of my eyes.Reclining backwards, I tried to read the words, “What is it?”Upon the blue cover lay my name in golden ink. Opening the cover, I was surprised to find an invitation card. I d

As the sun dipped below the horizon, the noise in my room drifted away with the evening rays. Clutter lay scattered on the floor, bed and desks. For the first time since moving into my dorm, we completely transformed our room into a typical high school girls.Eyeing myself in the mirror, I smoothed down the fabric clung to my torso. Anna advised me to not overindulge in my lunch to better fit into the dress, and I was finally realizing what she meant. The black gown that Anna let me borrow seemed as though it was tailor-made for me. It hugged my curves and held onto my skin in all the right places. The boat neck revealed my clavicles, but had managed to conceal the bruises above my chest. From the neck line all the way to the hem of the long sleeves, shimmering silver dotted the cloth. The skirt of the gown reached my toe tips, however, a slit on the left revealed my skin more than I appreciated.&nbs

I watched from afar as people surrounded Marcus. After my initial encounter with him, Marcus was busy speaking to the never ending list of people that wanted to meet him. I could only smile at him occasionally to remind him that I was still here and he would send an apologetic look my way.“Wow, what is he doing?” Anna spoke from beside me.I peeled my eyes off Marcus to look at her instead, “What?”“Asher.” She said, nodding to my right.Following her, I looked toward Asher and instantly widened my eyes. Asher was furiously speaking to one of the men who was behind the bar counter. He was reluctant to give him another drink while Asher was threatening to f

I stepped out into the fresh air, reeling in a deep breath. I could feel myself shaking with anger, jaw clenched. Spotting Anna in the crowd, I went to stand beside her.“Kiara, are you alright?” She asked in a worried tone as soon as she noticed my presence.“He’s a dick, Anna.” I said.“What did he say?”“That he loves me.” I laughed to myself, “And wants me to take him back.”“Did he hurt you?” She asked.“Not really,” I said, “But I think I did.”

I stared at my quivering, blood-soaked hands.I could faintly hear people talking around me, but I remained lost in my own world. A world full of illusions I had dreamt of.I could picture myself in Marcus’ house, leaning into his embrace to leave soft kisses on his mouth. And then, I would pull away so I could look into his eyes when I speak. Yes, I wanted to capture the joy on his face for the rest of my life when I told him how much I loved him. The three magical words he was yearning to hear - I would finally confess them to him. I could only imagine how he would feel upon hearing it. I was sure that I would’ve made him the happiest then. I imagined that it would soon be followed by our union. He would take me to his bedroom where we would spend hours within each other’s arms, consummating our bond.

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 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

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.
