Second Chance At Love 103.
Axel.Cassie felt so small in my hands. Too light. Too fragile.The moment she collapsed, I caught her without thinking, my grip firm as I steadied her trembling frame. Her breathing was uneven, and she blinked multiple times, as though trying to steady herself. I adjusted my grip, letting her stand on her own, but I didn’t let go entirely. Not yet.“What are you doing here?” I asked, my voice rough.Cassie swallowed, her lips parting as though she wanted to say something, but then she hesitated. “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have come here. I—I didn’t know I wasn’t allowed to be here,” she said quickly, her words rushing out in a way that felt forced, unnatural.That wasn’t what I meant.I opened my mouth to clarify, but she shook her head, cutting me off before I could get a word in. “You don’t have to explain. I’ll just leave. You said you wanted to talk, but this is probably not the best time. Let’s talk later.”“Cassie.” My voice came out like a thunderclap, sharp and commanding. My ha

Cassie.“I’m afraid that can’t happen. I cannot ignore you, you’re my mate,” Axel said, a frown settling on his face. My breath hitched at his words.“So you agree that the only reason you tolerate me now is because we’re mates?” I countered, crossing my arms over my chest, pain evident in every word.Axel let out a slow exhale, dragging his fingers through his hair as if he were holding back frustration. “You know that’s it true,” “Then tell me what is!” He went silent, and a scoff fell out of me.“I went in search of you even before I knew you were my mate, Cassie. But I’m guessing that’s not enough for you,” he said, his voice dipping into something almost sad. I wanted to ask why… why he had searched for me after I left, because I knew it wasn’t because he suddenly fell in love with me. Hell, he was right, because whatever his reason for doing that was, it would never make any sense to me, because of how he’d treated me prior to that time.Axel cleared his throat, adjusting hi

Cassie.I could still feel Axel’s warmth on my skin, his steady arms around me, but I forced myself to shake the feeling off. It didn’t mean anything. It couldn’t mean anything. I couldn’t let it mean anything.“If you cry anymore, you’ll fall sick,” Axel murmured, his voice gentle yet firm as he cupped my face, wiping away the tears that wouldn’t stop falling.I swallowed hard, hating the way his touch felt comforting. I shouldn’t be accepting his comfort, not after everything. But my body had other ideas—it melted into him like it was second nature.His dark eyes looked a bit clear, and it felt like I could read his mind, but I couldn’t.His fingers brushed against my cheek, lingering for a second longer than necessary. “Do you want me to get Violet?” he asked.I shook my head, suddenly remembering that Violet was in my apartment waiting for me, I stepped back quickly, needing space away from him. “I’m fine,” I said, my voice raw from crying. I wiped my face with the back of my ha

Cassie.I finished dressing while Violet was still in the shower and pulled out a few outfit options from my closet for her. Since she had come in only her leather pants and jacket, she didn’t have clean clothes to wear to school, so it only made sense that I gave her something out of my closet. By the time she stepped out, rubbing a towel over her damp curls, I was already sitting on the bed, slipping my feet into my shoes.She glanced at the outfits laid out on the bed and raised a brow. “You do know I have my own clothes, right?”I smirked. “You’re welcome.”Violet rolled her eyes, but I noticed the small smile tugging at her lips as she picked a pair of jeans, the same one we once fought for, and a fitted top. While she got dressed, I stood up, grabbed my phone and book bag, and together, we left the apartment, heading downstairs.The moment we stepped outside, we saw Jake leaning against his car, arms crossed as he waited. His gaze flickered to Violet first, then to me.“Good m

Cassie.“We need to leave here right now!” Violet said, her voice hushed but frantic.I nodded, not even bothering to look back. There was no point in staying—there wouldn’t be any lectures today, not with the ambience around school. Without wasting another second, we turned and walked briskly toward the school gate, our minds clouded with uncertainty.When we reached the gate, I swallowed hard, my pulse racing. “I’m too scared to go home alone,” I admitted, my voice barely above a whisper.Violet let out a breath, nodding. “Me too. I’m even more scared to be alone at home.”A silence stretched between us, thick with fear etched on both our faces. Then, an idea formed in my head. “What if we return to Red Hollow together?” I suggested. “I’m pretty sure we’ll be safer there. There are guards all around and everything,” I told her.I was so scared that as I spoke, my body shook. I had a feeling whoever killed Jared was the rogue from before, and a rogue killing around me set me off in

Cassie.As soon as I read Violet’s text, I locked my phone and tucked it into my bag, choosing not to respond. I didn’t know what to say, but at least she also felt the same way I did.I felt lightheaded as the car moved, the weight of my conflicting thoughts about Jon pressing heavily at the forefront of my mind. I’d never noticed anything weird about him, and he was nice enough that I was willing to go against Axel to befriend him, but whatever it was, if at all I wanted to find out what it was that unsettled me about him, I knew I’d have to be careful.I barely registered the conversation between him and Violet as he drove. I heard their voices, but their words slipped past me like water through my fingers. My silence must have been noticeable because, after a while, Jon turned to look at me, his eyes full of concern, while Violet remained occupied with her phone.“Are you okay?” He asked.His voice was casual, but there was something in the way he asked that made my stomach tight

Cassie.My office was silent except for the sound of rustling paper as I scanned the document in my hands, and the sound of my office door being pushed open.“Whatever you’re about to report better be fucking worth your barging into my office,” I said without looking up. I already knew who it was. “It is. Everything happened exactly as you said it would,” Warren announced as he entered, running his fingers through his hair. The tense look on his face told me what he was referring to.The rogues at Spellman college. I exhaled sharply, leaning back in my chair as I stared at him, waiting for him to say more.“We should have apprehended them since the sighting,” he continued, his voice tight with frustration, “Because they’ve grown cocky.”I shook my head. “They’re more skilled than I gave them credit,” I said, shutting the file with a snap. “I wanted to see just how far they’ll go before making a move. “I think they have a new mastermind pulling the strings.”Warren let out a slow b

Cassie.“Can we talk?”Axel had just stepped into the apartment, looking exhausted from work. His sharp eyes flicked to mine, assessing, but he gave a small nod. However, before he could say a word, Violet popped out from the kitchen, waving awkwardly. “Welcome home.”Axel stiffened, the briefest flicker of surprise crossing his face before his expression smoothed over. His control over his emotions had always been sharp, but I could tell this was unexpected.“Please don’t be mad at her for bringing me here,” Violet added quickly, her voice lighter than usual. “And I swear I’m not planning anything.”I raised a brow at her words, but Axel didn’t react right away. His gaze flicked between the two of us before he nodded, his expression unreadable.“Let’s go,” he ordered, and I followed him silently, my heart hammering against my chest as we entered his room.The door clicked shut behind us, sealing us inside but the weight in the air had already settled in“The death,” I started, voice

Cassie.I took a deep breath as I stood in front of the pack house, my eyes locked onto the massive structure that had once been my home. My fingers curled into fists at my sides, my nails pressing into my palms as if that would steady me.“I’ve been here before. This is nothing,” I whispered to myself, willing my body to relax. But the way my stomach twisted said otherwise.The evening breeze carried the faint scent of baked goods and damp earth, ruffling the braids that framed my face. I swallowed hard, rubbing my clammy hands against my jeans, trying to push away the nerves that had crept in without warning.“You look like you’re a second away from losing your mind.”The voice came from behind me, breaking through my haze of thoughts. I turned sharply, my heart jolting, only to find Jake standing there, his lips curved into an amused smirk.“Nice to know you find this amusing,” I muttered, rolling my eyes as I crossed my arms.“I don’t,” he chuckled, taking a few steps closer. “Kn

Cassie.The ride to school had been suffocating. Axel didn’t say a word to me, didn’t even glance in my direction, like I had done something unforgivable. Was it really that bad? Was it so wrong to want relief from the ache that had consumed me?“Do you know what would be crazy?” Violet’s voice suddenly cut through my thoughts, snapping me back to the present.I blinked at her, my steps slowing as I took in the mischief in her eyes. “What?” I asked, raising a brow.“If after everything, your lecturer friend turns out to be a bad person, it would literally break me.”The words hit like a brick, and I stopped walking altogether, my breath catching.“What?” My voice was sharp as she turned to face me fully. “Did something happen?”Violet hesitated, rubbing her neck before finally looking away. “Not entirely,” she admitted. “But a couple of students were whispering about him yesterday. They said they saw him going toward the tall trees behind the school… the big field.”I felt my stomach

Cassie.I woke up slowly, feeling warm—warmer than I should have. My body felt oddly secure, wrapped in a tight embrace. The steady sound of breathing filled my ears, the slight weight of an arm draped over my waist grounding me before my mind even fully registered where I was.And then it hit me.Axel.I stiffened, my eyes widening as I turned my head slightly. His scent surrounded me—woodsy, rich, completely intoxicating. His bare skin was hot against mine, his arm tightening instinctively when I shifted.He was still asleep, his breathing even, his face relaxed in a way I had never seen before.For a moment, I simply lay there, staring at him, caught in the quiet intimacy of the moment. Axel never looked like this when he was awake—unguarded, peaceful.But I had to move. I shifted my waist, testing out the free space around me, and the moment I did, Axel groaned.I froze, waiting a moment so I don’t wake him, then I shifted again, attempting to slide out from his grip. His arms onl

Cassie.I opened my eyes to the sound of running water filling my ears before I even registered what was happening. The soft splash against the tub was strangely soothing, pulling me from the heavy fog of unconsciousness. And for a second, I just lay there, staring at the ceiling, trying to make sense of where I was.My room.The faint scent of lavender clung to the sheets beneath me, grounding me in the familiar space. But something felt… off. My body ached—more than that, it burned. A dull throbbing coiled around my stomach, tightening the moment I tried to shift my weight. My breath hitched as the memories came rushing back, piecing together everything that had happened before I blacked out.Pain sliced through me, sharp and unrelenting. I gritted my teeth, pushing past it as I forced myself to sit up. My limbs were heavy, unwilling, but I couldn’t just stay here. I was alone. I needed to take care of myself.Slowly, I swung my legs over the side of the bed, my bare feet meeting th

Cassie.I leaned back against the vanity, gripping the edge as Axel’s lips trailed along my neck, his breath hot against my skin. His hands roamed over me, his touch possessive, like he had every right to explore my body. One palm skimmed my waist, sliding upward until it settled over my chest, his fingers curling slightly as if testing my reaction.“I need to take this off,” he murmured against my throat, his voice rough, filled with barely restrained hunger. The heat of his body pressed against mine, and I swore he was made of fire—burning, consuming, unstoppable.God.A shiver ran through me as he tugged roughly at my shirt, his impatience clear. My hands flew to his shoulders, steadying myself as he worked at the fabric like pulling at it alone would make it magically disappear.“Wait, Axel,” I gasped, my fingers trembling against his skin.“Like hell I will,” he growled, his lips never leaving my skin, the deep sound of his voice sending a sharp pulse of heat straight to my core.

Cassie.The classroom was too small for the number of voices rising within it. Seven of us sat around a cluster of desks, a circle that didn’t quite feel complete, but no one seemed to mind. Conversations overlapped, ideas were thrown out and debated, but I was silent, watching the way they all worked together like they had done this before. Like they belonged.I didn’t.I had never spoken to them before yesterday, yet here I was, a part of the planning committee for Jared’s candle walk. I wasn’t sure how it happened. Maybe it was because I had been there when they made the announcement, or maybe someone thought I looked like I cared enough to contribute. The truth was, I didn’t know what I was supposed to do.And so, I said nothing.For most of the meeting, I was there but not really there, nodding along when necessary, taking mental notes I knew I wouldn’t use. The date was still undecided, but they were discussing logistics now—who would handle what, how they would gather candles,

Axel.The meeting room was suffocating. Not from heat or lack of air, but from the sheer tension hanging in the air, thick and unmoving. The long mahogany table stretched across the center of the room, polished to perfection, reflecting the golden glow of the chandelier above. The walls, lined with deep burgundy wallpaper, felt like they were closing in, the heavy drapes blocking out any sign of daylight. A room meant for order, but right now, it held nothing but unspoken resentment and frustration.I leaned back in my chair, my hands gripping the armrests as I let my gaze sweep over the men in the room—alphas from different regions, all with their own domains, their own responsibilities, and yet, none of them seemed willing to lift a damn finger.“I think it’s high time we address the elephant in the room,” I said, my voice calm but firm, the kind that demanded attention.Across the table, Alpha Tristan scoffed, leaning forward with his arms crossed over his broad chest. His golden-b

Cassie.The ride to school was indeed long, longer than it had any right to be.Not because of the distance but because of the thick, suffocating tension that filled the car. No amount of air conditioning could cut through it, and even with the windows cracked open, the weight of unspoken words and unresolved emotions hung between us.Axel said nothing to me. And I said nothing to him.Violet, bless her, made several attempts at conversation. She brought up the weather, schoolwork, and even a random story about one of her neighbors that she clearly hoped would lighten the mood. But it was useless. Axel remained as unreadable as ever, with his signature scowl sitting on his face, and I was too deep in my own thoughts to play along. I wasn’t even sure what was happening between us anymore. I didn’t understand it.Eventually, Violet sighed and gave up, falling into silence as well.When the car finally came to a stop in front of the school gates, I reached for the door handle, ready to b
Second Chance At Love 123.
Cassie.The first thing I noticed when I opened my eyes was movement. The subtle shifting of weight, the faint rustling of fabric. My senses sharpened, and my body tensed. For a split second, my heart pounded against my ribs as my half-asleep mind leaped to the worst conclusion—intruders.I sat up in a rush, my gaze darting around the dimly lit room, searching for a shadow lurking in the corners. But all I found was Violet, standing by the mirror, stretching her arms before grabbing her towel.“Good morning to you too,” she said, giving me a knowing look through the mirror’s reflection.I exhaled sharply, running a hand through my hair as I forced my heart to settle. “Good morning,” my voice was barely above a whisper, my hand pressed against my chest as I tried to slow my breathing.“I’m not going to lie, that scared me. The way you woke up, looking around like you expected to see something—or someone—other than me,” Violet said, her eyes wide as she chuckled, shaking her head as sh
