As I watched the moving trees through the window glass, I couldn’t help but ignore the trepidations in my heart. My cold, clammy fingers were entwined with Marcus’ who was sleeping peacefully on my shoulder. After a week of his treatment and finishing up work in the school, I could imagine why he was so eager to go back to Windshire. To his home.

We had started early in the morning before dawn, and the sun rays were now streaming through the tall trees. Since we were riding by car, Ethan thought it was best if we left in the early hours when there was little congestion on the road. He was right, since it had been a smooth journey so far. I wonder how long it would take to reach.

I heaved a huge sigh, trying to calm my nerves, but it didn’t help. I was nervous.

“Are you okay?” I heard him whisper in my ear, his head lifting off of me.

I nodded, “Sorry.”

He sat up straight, pulling an arm around my figure to pull me closer. I leaned into his embrace as he pecked my forehead.

  • My Second Chance With The Alpha    79. A past

    Marcus was momentarily paralyzed under her touch, but he was quick to regain his composure. At once, he pushed her away by her arms, forcing a distance of a foot between them.“Audrey.” He warned her in a strict tone.“What?” She frowned at him, “I see you after months and you won’t even let your fiancé kiss you?”My heart sank.Fiancé?I watched her amber eyes regarding Marcus with disappointment, a pout forming on her lips. She had thick black hair that reached her waist, perfecting complimenting her tanned skin. Her voluptuous physique only made her more attractive, and she was aware of it too. Her tall figure towered over the average woman, an

    I didn’t get out of the room the entire day, for I had no idea how I’d face them. I wasn’t even sure if Marcus was in the house. It wasn’t until someone knocked on the door that I realized it was already time for dinner.“I’m not hungry,” I muttered, before closing the door again.Few minutes elapsed before the door opened again. However, this time, it was the devil himself. With a plain face, he leaned against the door behind and crossed his arms.“You’re not hungry?”I shook my head, looking away from him.“You haven't eaten anything since morning.”

  • My Second Chance With The Alpha    81. A great match

    I didn’t realize when Marcus came to the room last night, but when I woke up the next morning, his arm was draped over my body. Twisting in my place to get a better look at him, I found him peacefully sleeping. It was tempting to remain snuggled up within his body, but my stomach was growling. Since I barely had anything to eat yesterday, it was only natural that I woke up starving.After quickly getting ready so I looked presentable, I went down the stairs. It was relatively early so I hoped I wouldn’t have to encounter anyone.As I got down the stairs, I realized that our room was on the second floor along with a few other rooms and a large open space inside and outdoors. As for the first floor, it was mostly bedrooms. I should ask Marcus to give me a private tour of this place once he wakes up so I wouldn&r

  • My Second Chance With The Alpha    82. From hell

    Bella really didn’t like me.It had been two hours since we left the Mansion and not even a word was addressed to me. While she occasionally spoke to Bernard, who was accompanying us to the town, she took special precaution to not have to talk to me. The thought made me worry. How was I to make things with her if she refused to talk to me?“Where are we going after this?” I asked her from behind.She was accompanying Bernard in the front passenger seat, sipping on her bubble tea. “I need to meet a friend, but you can go anywhere you want.”I earned a sad look from Bernard on the mirror placed between them. He too realized that she was giving me a tough time. Bern

    “Wait, you know her?” Kayla asked.“Of course.” She gritted, “This is the girl that bewitched Mark and stole him from me.”“What?” Kayla looked at me, appalled.“You misunderstand,” I said, “Marcus is my-”“Bullshit. You are not his mate.” She said, “Mark was always meant to be mine. He even agreed to be with me until you came along. What love potion did you give him to make him change his mind?”“Audrey, that’s enough.” Bernard came to my rescue.&ld

    “Hi.” I said in a low tone, trying hard to not make it sound like a lust-ful sigh.He merely watched me as I moved across the room to grab my moisturizer, before settling down on the edge of the bed. Sprawling my legs out long, I leaned against the backrest. I felt the heat of his gaze all along, and I reveled in it.“What did you do in town?” He suddenly asked.I cleared my voice before saying, “Nothing much. Some shopping-”“Shopping?” He asked, resting his elbow over his head on the wall.“Y-yes.” I said.

    He sucked on my skin as he slowly moved downward, surely leaving behind some marks. As he reached my pelvis, ever so gently, he kissed it. Again. And again. He showered my skin with kisses, slowly moving downwards.“So wet, Kiara.” He said, peeling my legs apart. As my vagina was bare to his eyes, he brought his fingers gently to collect my juices. And then, he slowly introduced his fingers into me. I felt my vaginal walls tighten around him, as though rejecting me, white in reality, I simply couldn’t get enough of him.I felt his breath on me as he inched closer to my aching bud. This time, he didn’t take long to devour it with his mouth. Engulfing it entirely, he gently sucked on it, all the while his finger gently moved in and out of me.

    I stared at my reflection in the mirror.My hair was disarrayed, flowing in unruly curls down my back. My lips were swollen and pink, as were the blush in my cheeks. Staring below, I noticed a bruise that lay testament to my mate’s claim. It was tender to touch, but I relished in the pain it provided, for it reminded me of one of the most significant moments of my life. As war wounds are always cherished by a soldier, this was a wound I would proudly wear, as it reminded me of Marcus’ presence in my life.I gently watched my face and neck with water, before covering my body with a robe and walking back into the bedroom. Atop the mattress, Marcus was fast asleep. Although I wanted him to hold me the entire night, looking at the peaceful expression on his face prevented me from waking him up. As quietly as I cou

  • 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.”

    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.
