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 POVMaxwell’s wolf is larger than any other wolf I’ve ever seen. His fur is black and thick, and his yellow luminous eyes glow back at me. The size of one of his paws is bigger than my head. He’s not just big; he’s huge.I jump down from the boulder on shaky legs and then press my back into the rock. I’m not scared of him, but I’ve never seen a wolf like his. If I saw him alone in the woods, I’d be running for the hills. But he breathes through his nose softly and takes a step forward.It’s okay, he reassures me through our mind. His soft voice wraps around my brain and sends soothing motions through my spine, for which I’m grateful. I can see the concern in your eyes.My head shakes. “Just startled,” I admit. “Are Alphas bigger than normal wolves?”Yes. I’m a lot bigger than I remember. It’s been a while.“Is he a completely different subconscious to you?”Yes. I believe so. We have separate minds and separate wants. He lives in my human body whilst I live in his shifted body
Second Chance Revenge Chapter 41
Laura POVThe stars are bright tonight. Each and every one of them. I’m not usually a stargazer, but right now, it’s a beautiful sight. There are constellations in the sky I’ve never noticed before glowing like fireworks.I can’t take my eyes off them. I’m in a trance. They make the dark night sky feel warm.A presence has the hairs on my arm standing, and I turn towards where my intuition directs. That’s when I spot a woman with floor-length white hair and eyes that practically glow in the dark. She’s not dangerous; I can sense it.She takes long, languid steps to meet me, her purple and cream dress dragging along the forest floor behind her. Her glittery skin shines in the moonlight. Iridescent and breathtaking.“Who are you?” I exhale when she stops in front of me.A line of gleaming makeup runs across her cheeks and over her nose to the other side of her face. The mark is unique. I wonder if it’s a tradition from wherever she’s from. I know she’s not human, but I don’t know wher

Maxwell POV“I Don't think you understand; my wedding has to be perfect,” Ava says as she stares at her laptop screen with wide eyes and flailing fingers over the keys.My eyes roll automatically. All I’ve heard over the last few months is wedding plans, and I can see her turning into bridezilla within the next few days. The date is getting closer, and she’s about to burst.“Our wedding, babe.” Sebastian’s voice floats through the kitchen. Ava glances up at him with a sudden nod; it's like she didn’t even remember he was here.Oh, boy.“Sorry.” A hand raises beside her head. “Our wedding.”“Well, if you wanted it to be perfect, you wouldn’t be looking for the wedding cake nine days before now…would you?” I quirk a brow in her direction.Unsurprisingly, she scowls at me with heavy annoyance. “Shut up, Maxwell. It’s not my fault the original cake company didn’t get back to me.”“Yeah,” I rasp heavily. “It’s called having a backup. I can’t believe you decided to do this yourself and no
Second Chance Revenge Chapter 43
Maxwell POVI brace myself for what’s about to unleash. Sebastian might officially be uninvited to his own wedding. Goddess, how does he put up with this crazy woman?“They’re just tablecloths?” she spits, slamming the laptop closed. “How dare you, Sebastian? I thought you’d be better than that.”I can’t tell if that’s fear or frustration behind his eyes.“Who even are you?”My hand cups my jaw, but it’s too late. The laugh slips out. The look on Sebastian’s face and the sheer madness my sister has become is like a reality show, and somehow, I’ve got a front-row seat to it.Ava’s death glare flicks my way. “Do you think this is funny?”My sister is a drama queen most of the time, but this is ridiculous. I flash her a slight grin, which she gapes at. Laura gently swats my arm, but she’s also trying her hardest to keep a poker face.“I’m sure they’ll be here in time,” Laura says, attempting to console her. “It said might, not definitely. Just remain optimistic. I’m praying for you, Ava.
Second Chance Revenge Chapter 44
Maxwell POVIt’s a few days before my sister’s wedding, and tonight is her “last night” of freedom before she becomes a wife. All of Ava’s closest girlfriends from the pack Laura included are planning on going out and celebrating in town. And right now, I’m being forced to take pictures of them together.I mean, I’m not complaining too much because I physically cannot take my eyes off my beautiful mate. Ava put some makeup on her, making those brown eyes even darker and her pale skin glow.She’s not just beautiful; she’s taken my entire breath away.My eyes roam her face and down her body. In an instant, my gaze hardens, looking at her in that pretty burgundy dress and heels with laces wrapped around her ankles. She’s a sight for sore eyes. She smiles gently towards the camera, completely stealing my heart and running away with it.When I finish my noble brotherly duties, I hand the phone back to Ava. “Please don’t do anything stupid tonight,” I say under a hushed breath. “The last
Second Chance Revenge Chapter 45
Maxwell POVIt’s late. I know that much. But when my ears prick at the sound of the front door opening, I immediately stand. I purposely kept my office door open for this exact reason. I’m trying my damn hardest to not be overbearing, but I was counting down the seconds until they got home.I tidy away the notes on my desk before heading downstairs into my private kitchen to find Ava and a few of the other girls. All of them are chatting away like it isn’t the middle of the night. The smell of alcohol wafts from them like they’ve been out for the past five days. Holy hell. How much did they drink?My eyes scan the room, but Laura is nowhere to be seen. The hairs on the back of my neck stand in her absence, but I know she’s here. My wolf is happily rested but eager to see her.“Alpha Maxwell!” Phia shouts or slurs to get my attention. All of them are grinning ear to ear, swaying slightly.“Where’s Laura?” I ask.“She’s getting changed in her room,” Ava responds.“Fun night, girls?”
Second Chance Revenge Chapter 46
Maxwell POV“I lost count of how many drinks I had…b-but then–” Her words are nothing but a jumbled mess, and it makes me chuckle. She holds up her hands towards my face. “I fell up the stairs. I had no idea stairs could be so dangerous…upwards!”This is highly entertaining.“You fell up the stairs?” I ask as she nods. “Are you alright?”I check her for any visual wounds, but all I can see is intoxication. She sways again, and I take her hand, leading her to the sofa before she falls and actually hurts herself.“Yeah. It didn’t hurt.”“Have you ever been drunk before?”Laura throws her head back and laughs. No, she doesn’t laugh and she cackles. “Have I ever been drunk before?” she slurs before standing up. Oh, Goddess, here we go. “You must think I’m so fucking boring!”I’m startled for a moment. I think this is one of the first times I’ve heard her swear.“I don’t think you’re boring,” I admit.She ignores me and starts pacing the room. “You know I used to be a cheerleader?”I ins
