Second Chance Revenge Chapter 100
Maxwell POVI purse my lips as I watch the tall man in front of me. His shoulders are deadly still, and he has a dangerous aura coming off him that makes me want to run from him. But the sick little voice in my head wonders what it would be like if he caught us. If I threw myself into that darkness instead of running like my senses tell me to.“Hmm,” is all Valen says, his nostrils flaring as he studies me with cold precision. His eyes move from my eyes to my neck, where they linger for longer than I would think normal, then trail down my body and land on my fists, which are balled at my sides. I swallow the lump that suddenly appears in my throat when Valen doesn't immediately answer.I really hope he doesn't take the second option and leave me high and dry up here. Even though I like to talk about big games, I’m honestly drowning in a world I know nothing about. I'm scared, and without Valen, I’m worried I won't make it out of this alive. Pain suddenly pricks at my heart and the
Second Chance Revenge Chapter 101
Maxwell POVI open my eyes and gape in wonder as I stare down at the massive castle below. Valen has somehow transported us to a ledge that overlooks the Umbra Hunter Castle. The scene is a picturesque view as large, fluffy snowflakes drift lazily through the morning air. The Castle is built into the side of the mountain, its main gates facing out toward the small clearing that slopes down the mountain. I can see the Hunters moving about the courtyard, several going into the castle while others head to the horse barn, and I can't help but notice this is the most lively the Castle has ever been since I’ve been here.My thoughts move to the Regalis brothers; my heart and head are at war with each other as I try to figure out how I feel. Now that I'm not being chased and having my world upended for the second time in only a matter of weeks, I can see how I should have gathered more information. However, there is no explaining away the fact that Lennox and Razar are most definitely De
Second Chance Revenge Chapter 102
Maxwell POV“Okay, so Dream Walkers,” I start as we carefully make our way down the slippery slope of the mountain, ignoring the pains and aches in my muscles as I walk. Thankfully, it's a nice morning, and the sun is actually out for the first time in almost a week. “What can we do? Because I don't seem to have any extra magic besides the ability to call you into my dreams.”“Full blooded Dream Walkers are some of the strongest magic users in our world. Like Hunters, different families and bloodlines hold different strengths and abilities. For example, my strength is in mental grifting and collection of lifeforce. Which is how I took energy from the tree at the church,” he answers, his footsteps so light behind mine, I almost don't hear them.I frown as I roll his answer over in my mind, a few things stand out that don't make sense. But when I turn to ask him, Valen shakes his head and smiles.“My turn,” he reminds me, and I pout, turning back towards the trail while carefully sid

Maxwell POVI could see you, but not clearly. I was observing, but couldn't do anything more. It wasn't until the third time that I was actually tugged into your mind and ultimately added as a physical presence to your dreams,” Valen explains, looking down at me with earnest eyes. “You were scared and didn't know how to use your magic. You also made the Beastia as physical as I was, meaning they were hunting you and could have killed you, Mi Sol. Try never to make a creature physical in your dreams again.”“I don't know how I did that,” I admit, trying to remember anything about those dreams besides the feelings of terror and, eventually, safety when Valen had come.“I know. I’ll work on it with you once we collect your friend and cat. I need to ensure you are safe and can't be pulled into dreams while we are here with so many enemies around us.”“Have I tried to pull you back into a dream?” I ask, curious.“Yes. Last night, you called me while we slept. I answered long enough to en

Maxwell POV“Do you have a session with Gemma today?” I ask.Laura remains silent, completely on-responsive to my voice. I frown.My throat clears. “Laura?”“Huh?”She snaps her attention to me, her eyes wide like she’s been caught red handed doing something bad.“Do you have a session with Gemma today?”“Uhh.” She pauses and runs a hand down her face. “Yeah. In thirty minutes. I moved it forward.”“Everything okay?” I ask without trying to sound too weary.Laura nods once and flashes me a smile that is the epitome of force. “Yeah. I just spaced out. Sorry.”“Thinking about anything in particular?”She runs a finger over her lip as I plate up our lunch. “Just about that night with Julia. What can I piece together anyway?”I hum softly. “Do you think of anything new?”“No,” she exhales.Her body language is odd, and her face is struck with emptiness. I know she’s beating herself up about what happened, and I don’t know why. “Do you remember me telling you that when we arrived, there w
Second Chance Revenge Chapter 105
Maxwell POV Her eyes are staring straight through her soul, her expression void of any emotion, and for a moment, it terrifies me. I’ve never seen her like this.My wolf runs circles inside me and drags his claws through my insides. I slide a hand through my hair at the invasive feelings. He howls as if he’s desperate to tell me something, but I know we’re both concerned. Laura’s mind has been elsewhere.Eventually, she dips her head and raises her arms, scanning them as if she’s looking for something embedded on her skin. I watch silently as she swipes her fingers over her wrists and across her forearms before reaching her elbows. She does it again and again.She stops, freezes.I shift on my feet but stay back.Then, she starts pinching and pulling her skin before releasing them. At first, it’s slow and gentle, then it’s harder and aggressive, as if she’s trying to tear off her skin.“Hey, hey,” I raise my voice and move closer. “Stop. What are you doing? Stop.”Laura doesn’t ack

Laura POVIt’s like the bond between you all has intensified. I think you’re finally finding your purpose as an Alpha. You’re all connecting.”Maxwell’s head tilts. “I like that.” He nods. “You’re right. I used to be uptight and focused on only one thing. But now, I’ve learnt that listening to their needs goes a long way. Before I ignored that, and it wasn’t a good trait to have.”“What made you change?”“You.”“Huh?”“You did. Being with you. It puts into perspective that I can help them blossom into the best versions of themselves if I give them the attention and care they need. I think about you and how I always paid attention to what you needed the most, and eventually, I earnt your trust. Now, I’m doing it with the pack but with their doubts, fears, and weaknesses. It’s a conversation that never ends, and they feel comfortable enough to discuss it with me so we can all improve.They see me as a helping hand, not someone to fear.”My expression lights up. “That sounds incredibl
Second Chance Revenge Chapter 107
Laura POVHe chews on the inside of his lip for a moment. “I didn’t want to. I tried so hard not to so I could give you the privacy you deserved. But other times, I couldn’t control it. That’s why I taught you your mental defenses as soon as I could. I wanted to earn your trust authentically.”“Yeah, I think I have the hang of it now.”Maxwell eyes me for a moment, and his expression softens.“This past year has been very bitter-sweet,” I exhale and lower my sandwich. “It’s been high and low continuously. I still don’t feel one hundred percent right from when I woke up from my coma. But things are finally going in the right direction. I’m trusting the universe to guide me to what is meant for me.”His hand slides over the blanket, and he takes my fingers once more, kissing over my wrist and knuckles until it tickles. “You are destined for great things.”“Let’s hope.” I laugh hesitantly. “Your pack is lucky to have an Alpha so caring for each and every one of them and their wellbeing
