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.

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

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
Second Chance Revenge Chapter 47
Maxwell POVWhen she doesn’t move, I stand from the small sofa and carry her in my arms to her bed, tucking her beneath the sheets.“Wait,” she mumbles, latching onto my wrist. “Stay. Please. I don’t want to be alone.”I flick my eyes over her pleading face. My chest crumbles. There is no way I could say no to her, but at the same time, I want her to be sober while making these decisions. I would never want to push her boundaries and take advantage of them just because she’s drunk.“Until you fall asleep,” I eventually land on.Instead of getting in the bed, I lay on top of the sheets. I face the way she’s sleeping and watch her eyes flutter open and shut. She’s trying her hardest to stay awake, but I know the alcohol will claim her soon.When she opens her eyes again, she scowls in my direction. She doesn’t look mad; she looks drunk-mad. “Why are you so far away from me?”I chuckle to myself and shuffle closer. “Where do you want me, Laura?”“I want to lay my head on your chest,” s

Laura POVToday is Ava and Sebastian’s big day. The house has never been this chaotic. Everyone is walking left, right, and center. In and out of the kitchen. Up and down the stairs.Ava demanded everyone but her bridesmaids and I leave the house so she can have some peace and quiet. Of course she doesn’t want Sebastian to see her before the ceremony, so he left with Maxwell and Kayden a little while ago.I stand in front of the mirror in the hallway as I look at the pretty dress clung to my body. I press down against my stomach, flattening the soft material. I don’t remember the last time I felt comfortable in my own skin. But right now, I have a spark of confidence in my heart, and I’m enjoying every second of it.My dress is navy with a square neckline that shows off my collarbones and Phia added a dash of highlighter to make them pop. A small band runs around my waist and pinches just below my bust before the rest of the dress falls down to the floor.I’ve been anticipating thi

Laura POVMy eyes fall on a white gazebo with pink and cream flowers woven into the arch with fairy lights dangling from the roof. I pause for a moment and admire the perfect scenery. A smile covers my lips as I step inside, allowing my fingers to brush the delicate roses and carnations.Where are you? Maxwell’s voice floats into my mind.A shiver of comfort rushes to my heart. Outside.It doesn’t take long for Maxwell to find me. My skin tingles when he’s right behind me. I close my eyes at the sensation and the bond growing and glowing and everything in between.When I turn around to face him, I stop breathing at how beautiful he is. It’s a sight that will be engraved into my mind forever.Maxwell walks towards me. His blazer and tie are gone, and now his shirt sleeves are rolled up to his elbows, showing off his impressive forearms. His gaze roams my face and body agonizingly slow. His eyes turn a notch darker when he meets my gaze. “I’m sorry I’ve not spent much time with you

Laura POV“Okay, ladies and gentlemen. It’s time for the first dance. Ava and Sebastian, please find your way to the dance floor.”A loud cheer erupts throughout the room. My eyes latch onto Ava as she bounds towards the dance floor excitedly. Sebastian soon follows, both grinning at each other like they’ve won the lottery.In their eyes, they have.Ava wraps her arms around Sebastian’s neck as the music starts, and they gently sway to the beautiful song playing over the speakers. I watch in awe at their admiration for each other. After a while, people begin to join them with their partners, family members, and friends.Maxwell’s hand slides into mine gently as he tugs at my fingers. “Dance with me?”“Yeah,” I whisper. “I’d love to.”He leads us over to the dance floor with the others, and our bodies mold together to move to the music. I place my hands over his shoulders as his arms wrap around my waist. My head softly falls onto his chest, and I smile to myself at this peaceful mom
