Second Chance Revenge Chapter 32
Laura POVMy eyes focus on the ceiling as I release a shuddering breath. Why can’t I be normal? I’m so fucked up that I wonder if I’ll ever stand a chance of going back to how I once was.Stop saying that, Laura. You are not fucked up. It’s Max again.He’s reading my thoughts. How? I’m too exhausted to argue right now.I thought you were giving me space, I responded blankly.Maxwell’s voice flitters for a moment. I’m sorry. I don’t mean to hear your thoughts, he states slowly, and each word sounds so sincere that it’s hard to digest. When you think of k something with intense passion, it floats in your mind the next second. It’s a part of our bond that connects us. I’ll teach you how to put your shields up. I don’t want to intrude on your privacy.I have questions, but I don’t have any energy; I mind linking weakly.Then save it. Please can we talk when I get back?My eyelids shut, and I twist onto my side, tucking myself into a tiny ball with my head firmly on the pillow.Laura?Ok

Maxwell POVThe second I knew Laura was hurting herself, I abandoned my meeting with the district Alphas and raced home as fast as possible. Despite her unskilled attempt to try and block me out, I could still feel every inch of her physical pain.I roar at Ava through our mindlink to check on Laura before it’s too late. I won’t get home in time, but at least she will be there with the pack doctors on standby. The journey back to the house is silent and agonizing. By the time I cross our territory borders and run to the front door, I’m up the stairs quicker than I can blink.My hand presses to Laura’s door, and I find my sister sitting beside her on the bed with Gemma to her left. She’s lying on her front, and my eyes roam her bare back. It’s clear of broken skin, but it remains red and blotchy.“Is she okay?” I whisper as my eyes flick to her face.She looks peaceful, but I can’t help but feel she’s content being asleep. It makes my chest compress to the point my lungs can’t even t

Maxwell POVOur gazes meet, and her hands pick at the skin around her nails. I despise the action because I know she does it when she’s anxious.“Yeah?”A single tear rolls down her cheek. “D-don’t go,” she whispers tragically, and I sag in relief and torment all rolled into one. “I’m tired of feeling alone.”My fingers itch to lean over and cuddle her. What I wouldn’t give to make her feel comfortable enough to hug me to prove to her all I want to give is affection and care. Nothing less.“I’m not going anywhere,” I whisper back.Laura’s lips quiver until she breaks down, sobbing into her hands uncontrollably. My heart moves to my throat, and my wolf screams at me to do something.I step towards the bed and bend to the edge to not intimidate her.“Laura.”“I couldn’t make them go away.”“Make what goes away?”“The thoughts. They were everywhere. They were so loud.”More tears sprout from her eyes as her breathing increases.“Why didn’t you tell me, Laura? I would have been there for

Laura POVStroke warm sunlight hits my face as I slowly stir from my sleep. My hands lift to rub my eyes, and I slump back into the pillows. I feel somewhat better than yesterday. My body still feels psychologically and physically exhausted, but after my conversation with Maxwell, things felt more doable.Most hugs say nothing at all, but hugs from Maxwell say a million different things. They might be silent, but I can hear them. Even if the last thing I wanted to do was give into the bond, I couldn’t fuse my calmness, especially when it.I swipe the sheets from my body and stand on achy legs. My arms lift above my head, and I stretch out to my maximum capacity. I glance down at my bedside table to find a note with a few words scribbled down.Never forget how strong you are Max.I blink at the paper and take it in my hands. A small zap rushes down my spine when I pick it up, like an electrical current that tightens our bond.My hands press the small note to my chest, and I take a d

Laura POV I take one step forward and then glance back at Maxwell, who is smiling at me with support. “I’ll wait for you out here.”My eyes don’t leave his as I stall for a moment. “Laura?” Gemma says.“Do you want to come in with me?” I ask Maxwell.He blinks at my request. “Sure.” He nods. “You want me to?”“If it’s too much for you, then you don’t have to.”“No.” He steps forward immediately. “I want to. I want to be there for you.”I nod and clear my throat. “Okay.”When I turn back to Gemma, she’s beaming at Maxwell as I walk inside her office. Maxwell waits for me to take a seat, but he doesn’t know I don’t like to sit down. I don’t like being confined. I express myself better when I’m walking around because it helps my blood flow. It also reminds me I can leave whenever I want. If I sit down, I know my entire body will cramp up from the nightmares of my past.“Maxwell, please sit.” Gemma points at any of the Laurailable chairs.I stand near the window and pace slowly. All

Maxwell POVA knock at my office door stirs me from the messy paperwork on my desk. I glance up and stare at the wooden panel. “Come in,” I shout.The door cracks open, and I find Sam stepping inside. “You wanted to see me, Alpha?”My eyes narrow on him and the way he walks in so casually as if he hasn’t been trash-talking his future Luna like she’s nothing. I try to keep my face calm, but studying his ignorant stance has my wolf stirring inside me.“Close the door,” I command and stand.Sam turns and shuts the door. I step around my desk to take slow strides towards him, tucking my hands behind my back as he follows my every move. “Do you have any idea why I’ve called you here, Sam?”“Uhhh…I wasn’t doing well in training?”My lip quirks at him. “Well, I’m relieved one of us finally said it, but no. I haven’t called you here because of your lame attempts during training.”Sam didn’t seem pleased by my brash response, but I wasn’t happy with him either when he made Laura feel less tha

Maxwell POVAll she has to know is they’re being watched, and she’s safe. If they ever started moving closer, I’d execute the mission in an instant.My fists clench, and I can’t hold back the smile as I imagine them covered in their blood. Every single one of them has touched her. All of them will pay, and I won’t be gentle about it.A knock at my office door stirs me from my work. I shake my head and glance up. “Come in,” I yell.The door handle twists and my gaze collides with my mate as she steps inside. Her brown eyes immediately light up the room, and I shiver subtly at her unexpected entrance. “Everything okay?” I ask as I lean forward.Laura’s teeth clamp down on her bottom lip as she steps inside, not shutting the door behind her. “Are you busy?”“For you?” I quirk a brow. “Never.”Her cheeks spread with a tint of pink, something I always find incredibly adorable. “What are you up to?”“Alpha duties,” I admit. “Nothing you need to worry about.”“Oh?”“Oh.”A ghost of a smile

Maxwell POVLaura’s mouth falls open in shock. “Because of me?”“Yeah, because of you.”“But you can’t shift into that form?”“No.”We inch closer into our territory, where Kayden has my wolves running at lightning speed. They’re playing one of our favorite training games that involves a lot of defense and ample amounts of competition.I help Laura up onto one of the boulders so she has a better advantage point. She immediately drops her hands into her lap and glances around at the wolves as they pass. “So, how do you get your wolf back?” she asks curiously.“I don’t know,” I admit. “I feel the closest to him when I’m around you.”She blinks in surprise. “When specifically?”“When I held you. I felt incredibly close to him, then.”Laura’s eyes roam my face, and I take in her pure beauty. I adore the way her natural complexion has been restored with a healthy glow and how her eyes seem brighter than when I first met her, like life is blossoming. Even when she smiles, I find myself

Laura POV We lay back down in bed, and I rest my head on his chest. “I can’t believe I forgot. I’ve been a werewolf and shifted, and I still didn’t know.”“You lost a lot of blood and were in a coma for a few days, Laura. Don’t beat yourself up for not remembering. I think in a way, your memories come back to you when you’re ready to face them,” he admits, and I think about that for a second.He might be right. He’s always right.I stay silent as he wraps me up in his strong arms. “Sleep, baby. It’s still early. We can talk about this in the morning.”My eyes flutter shut, and I inhale the scent wafting from his neck. I smile at the way it invades my bloodstream. My senses have heightened in ways I couldn’t even imagine.Later that day, I find myself in the library with Evan and Sam close behind him, looking as bored as ever. I reach up to find books on werewolf ancestry because I feel like I’m missing a piece of my history. My parents abandoned me when I was a baby, and now I don’

Laura POVMy ankles are submerged in mild water. The bottom of the lake is clear, and fish swim around my feet. I release a soft chuckle as they tickle my skin. My head tilts towards the sunset as it sits perfectly along the horizon.I open my lungs and take down the fresh air. A presence behind me makes me tingle, but I’m not afraid. My head looks over my shoulder to be met with luminous eyes and long white hair. I relax.“Laura.” She reaches out to touch my cheek.My eyes close at the sensation that washes over my skin.I remember her from my dream before. She came back.“You’re here.”When I open my eyes, she nods, and I study the pretty markings on her face. A triangle with circles glimmer across her forehead, and her eyelashes are a metallic blue. She takes my face between her warm hands, and I exhale a breath of relief.“Do not forget your power.”I frown. “What power?”“Do not forget the strength inside your soul.”“What do you mean?”She offers me a sweet smile. “I would neve

Maxwell POVAfter running Laura a luke-warm bath, I perch on the edge of the tub and study her drained face. Her skin is still on fire, despite the fact she’s shuddering as if we’re in the Antarctic. Guilt rides my chest like a wave. I’m not sure if her body is rejecting my mark because her human body isn’t strong enough to accept it. I don’t want to think about that fate.“Laura,” I whisper and caress her face.Her hand splashes into the water, and she retracts as if it’s toxic. I calm her by stroking back her hair and sending as much comfort through our bond as possible. Although, I can sense a barricade.“How are you feeling?”Laura’s eyes open, and they’re lazy, her lids almost shutting again.I examine her lips and move closer. The corners of her mouth are starting to fade into a light blue. Something is definitely wrong. Her body continues to shake, rippling the water aggressively. She wraps her arms around her legs in an attempt to keep warm.My hands reach into the bath, and

Laura POVI’m on the brink when he speeds up, and I clamp down on his lip, desperate to fall over the edge. I’m building and building. I groan into the kiss seconds away from absolute pleasure.Then he pulls his fingers from me, and I glare at him in desperation. I hate the smirk that sits on his face. “What” I can hardly get the words out as I watch him suck on his fingers. “Max, please.”He curls a brow in my direction as he sits back on his knees, staring down at me with misty eyes. “You think I didn’t hear your little thoughts earlier today slip through our bond?”“I used my barriers,” I heave.Maxwell releases a wicked laugh that sends shivers to my toes. “Not well enough, baby.”“What did you hear?”“Most of it.”I throw my head back to the bed. I’m pooling with heat. My heart rattles so loud I’m sure he can hear it. He crawls over my body once more and kisses me with rough passion. “You tell me the fucking second I cross any boundaries. Do I make myself clear?”“Yes.”“Good,”

Laura POVWhen I travel home later that afternoon, there’s a huge smile on my face from how fulfilled I am. My old life might be nothing but a distant memory, but Kayleigh shines above all. She’s one person I’ll never be able to forget.As the car drives through our gated community and pulls up outside Maxwell’s private entrance to the house, I hop out. I’m desperate to share everything that happened today with him and because he is my person.I wander through the front door and into the kitchen where the smell of food hypnotizes me. I’m not even hungry as we ate a few hours ago, but it smells divine.When I enter Max is standing there shirtless. My feet halt at the sight of his muscly back. He’s standing over the stove, using one hand to stir whatever he’s cooking in the frying pan. I scan his skin as the muscles contract and relax with each subtle movement. My lips part, and I’m certain I start drooling.I had no idea I had a thing for backs.“Are you going to stand there and ogle

Laura POVWe pause by a fountain and perch on the ledge as the sun beats down on us. “So, you go here with Danny, huh?”She scoffs. “No. I’ve always wanted to come here. Danny just so happened to rock up. We don’t see each other often if that’s what you think. I feel like he followed me here so he could find out information about you from me, which he did. I’m sorry. I never intended to do that.”“I know, I know,” I reassure her. “It’s fine. I don’t mind. How are your parents?”Kayleigh’s eyes drop to the pebbled floor. “They’re not together anymore.”“Oh.” I frown. “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t.”“No, they loved you. They treated you like their own. It’s okay to bring them up. They miss you so much.” Her eyes crinkle at the sides.My chest warms. “I’d love to see them soon.”“They’d love that, too.”“Are you dating anyone right now?”She’s quiet for a long moment, and I inspect her face. There is an edge of slight discomfort at the question. “No,” she whispers. “Not anymore.”“Oh, what h

Laura POVI want to enjoy as much alone time as I can with you before we decide to start the next steps. If we agree to have any.” He smooths his thumb across the fabric on my shin.I chew on the inside of my lip. “Yeah,” I agree. “That’s true.”He takes my waist in his hands and tugs me up onto his lap. “Good because I want as much time before we have any little devils running around.”“Did you just call our unborn children ‘little devils’?” I release a soft laugh.“Sure did.” He grins.My forehead presses to his and he leaves a kiss on my lips. “Hey, so I’ve been thinking.”“About what?”I clamp my teeth down on my lip as I admire his dark blue eyes. “The next time we have sex,” I pull my head back slowly, “I want you to mark me. I want us to be mated.”Maxwell doesn’t blink, but he holds me close to him. “Laura.”“I know what you’re going to say. I’m a human, and you don’t know what will happen if you do it. But I want you to. I want to experience it. Let’s see what happens and pra
Second Chance Revenge Chapter 110
Laura POVMaxwell had an early meeting this morning. He asked if I wanted to join, and I said I’d leave the business side of his pack to him. He wants me to be more involved and grow into my position as their Luna, but I’m still learning the ropes and need more time.Instead, I’m in the kitchen with Evan, teaching him how to cook. Sam supervises us, and it’s obvious he doesn’t want to be here from his glowering. I ignore him, but Evan’s shoulders are slightly tense.“How are you settling in?” I ask.Evan hums softly. “A lot better now. I’m finding my feet, but I’m ready to learn.”My face stretches into a grin. “Good. I’m pleased, Evan.”His hand takes hold of a large knife and slices through a bell pepper. I nod at his positioning until he slices a little too hard, and the tip of the knife swipes down his fingers.Blood trickles onto the cutting board, and he drops the knife onto the counter with a clang. He jumps back, eyes slightly horrified. “It’s alright, it’s alright,” I say ca
Second Chance Revenge Chapter 109
Maxwell POVMy fingers take hers delicately. She shifts her hips slightly and nods. “You’re big,” she exhales as I press my mouth to her palm. “Please, just go slow.”“Of course, baby.”I stay still for a moment and allow her to get used to the feeling before I start to move. I rest down on my elbows and drag my lips across her neck, and when she melts into me, I thrust slowly. She gasps into my ear and clings onto my biceps. I pause and wait until her legs start parting further, and I smile into her neck.My hips move again and again until she brings our lips together in a fiery kiss. She moans against my tongue and sends vibrations straight down my spine until I’m clutching her face and angling it towards me so I can taste every inch of her.“Better?” I rasp as I pull out and sink back in.She nods desperately. “Better.”Then I rest my forehead down on hers. My hips move a tiny bit quicker and deeper, and I watch her face for any slight twitch of discomfort, but instead, her lips a
