How Badly Do You Want It?
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56James found Emily attempting to hide in that little room she called her domain. It was supposed to be her office as Beta. But Evan decided he wanted something smaller and less like a sitting room. So he now made his office on the upper floor near the top of the stairs.
“Hey, can we talk?”
“I’m not sure what do you want to talk about?” Emily wasn’t sure how to take any of this. She hated giving him the cold shoulder, but she wasn’t ready to forget completely and forgive yet, either. “Come in. I need to put this down. It’s too hot. Close the door and tell me what’s you’re so eager to talk about.”
“We

“Well, that’s done. I have the name and information of the girl willing to take over the contract. The alpha who made this mess now knows he’s skated out of this scot-free. Things are slowly winding down. I guess.” Thomas sat there as the car pulled up into Asia’s territory. He’d not been there in years, but it hadn’t changed in that time. “Oh, I don’t know. I feel sorry for James and Emily. They deserve something better.” Asia’s face screwed up in thought as she tried to express to Thomas what she was thinking. “Oh gods! What have you got in mind? Asia, please tell me you aren’t planning something.” Thomas watched Asia in mock horror. This was the woman he knew for years
Second Chance for the Alpha In Dawn’s Light
Janine awoke to a pale light glaring through the curtains and directly into her eyes. She cursed to herself, thinking she’d forgotten to close them again. But stopped herself from doing more than shielding her eyes as she felt a heavy arm across her breasts. One large handheld one of them in its grasp. Janine couldn’t stop herself from expressing an enormous sigh of regret before she looked up into the man’s face. There wasn’t a question about who it was. Haden lay there beside her, possessively holding onto her. If he hadn’t told her at dinner last night that he intended to keep this up, then how he held her in his sleep told her everything she needed to know. But it still didn’t put her in a good light with the pack. It was one thing that her son might suspect about this, but if the pack knew. W
Second Chance for the Alpha Are You Coming or Not?
Damon woke up to a series of messages from several of his pack mates. They all wanted to know where their alpha was. It appeared things weren’t going well at home with the person Thomas put into power. He should have expected this. It happened every time they both needed to go to a summit or some such event. One of them would need to deal with things at home. “What’s wrong? Your phone is popping and pinging like a bowl of cereal.” “Yeah, looks like they don’t like a few changes, and several are begging me to come home to fix it.” Damon watched his screen after he’d responded to the third message of the morning. As soon as he dealt with one message, two more would crop up. What was going on? It wasn’t

Emily couldn’t believe James’ words. Oh, she was sure that he meant them. Currently, she knew all his dirty secrets with women. Yes, they were mated, but did he truly feel the bond finally? She’d felt it soon after she recovered enough to be released from the medical centre. For her, it killed her seeing him go from one meaningless relationship to another. He twisted the knife a little deeper whenever he made her get rid of the annoying and clingy ones. “James, you want this, but I’m hesitant. How do I know I’m not just the next unwanted lover? Remember? I know all your dirty secrets.” Emily kept her expression stern and serious. She didn’t want him to mistake this for anything lighthearted or humorous. This was the conversation she’d always wished to have, but never found the ne
Second Chance for the Alpha Change of Plans
Thomas talked Asia down from immediately leaving and interfering in Alpha DeMarre’s mating. But as the night went on, it forced him to put his phone on silent. It was pinging constantly and none of the messages made sense. They were about to figure out where he’d be sleeping when he finally got a message from Damon to listen to his voice mail. He couldn’t believe what he heard for a moment. “Asia, listen to this and tell me if it sounds like I should be more concerned than I am.” “How concerned are you?” “Extremely concerned. I think someone might attempt to take control of my pack while I’m away.”
Second Chance for the Alpha All Grown Up
Janine looked everywhere for James and nothing. He wasn’t in any of the places she expected him to be at this time of day. She’d looked from his apartment to Emily’s, the dining room, even the office. Nothing. He must be out with Emily somewhere. She hoped that boded well for their mating. This was such a touchy subject, but one day she’d be able to remind them she’d tried to get them together for a reason. In the end, she could do nothing but leave a message asking him. To confirm, Haden actually had spoken to him about this idea. It didn’t take long for James to get back to her with a yes, and the revised contract was on his desk. It just needed to be signed before the planning stages for the investigation could start. James also mentioned that he hoped she would find it an interesting project t
Second Chance for the Alpha Growth Comes from Unexpected Places
Eva was quickly tossing things into a couple of bags when Emily found her in her apartment. Eva opened the door for her. “Oh, hi. Perfect timing. I was just going to text you. We’re in a bit of a hurry. Something is wrong over in Damon’s pack and he must go investigate it. We’ve got tickets for a flight just after lunch, so there’s no time to waste.” “Geez. What could happen there?” Emily closed the apartment door behind her and went to sit on the bed beside the open bags. “Well, someone has the idea that they can take over the pack while the Alpha and Beta are away. Now, there are several in the pack that are up in arms over this. Damon wants to go back before things get violent. Emily, what am I goi
Second Chance for the Alpha Pondering in Circles
James read the note from Damon thanking him for taking such good care of his mate. He hoped James could work things out with Emily. But duty called back home, and he would take Eva with him to deal with that. Duty. That was a heavy word, and it was showing on his desk. The inbox was a good four inches full of files, letters, and other things his mother in her position of Luna couldn’t deal with. How did it add up so quickly? He’d only been away for a few days. When he sat down to deal with it, his mind lingered on Emily and the issues between them. He’d not learned how to block her moods and emotions from him. That is, if he ever did that. From it, though, he’d figured out when the emotions were about him. They contained a sour no

Second Chance for the Alpha Finding What Needed
The candle and a long stem lighter, so Gwenda chose to use the lighter without the candle and she heated the back of the paper. “Here goes nothing.” It took several minutes, but something appeared. “No one knows we used this trick. I had to have written it. There’s no other way this could have worked. Now what do we have? GPS coordinates, wait. There’s another set. Maybe I went back to get the coordinates?” As she move about the page, a set of seven coordinates appeared. She took the flame away, but gasped. “There’s something else here. Hold, let me reveal it too.” Everyone moved in closer and watched an eighth GPS location appear. “Either location? Where’s does that lead to?” This stumped her for a moment. “We need to plug these into a GPS system and see where they all lead to. The first one isn’t anywhere near the others.” “Of course not. The first one is in Orion’s Forest Territory. They probably scattered the others around here. I recognize the general numbers f
Second Chance for the Alpha Things to Come=
Finally, Asia’s plan came to fruition. Today, they would have their mating ceremony. Janine helped so much, with all the plans. She’d gone above and beyond when it came to their unique needs. But Asia now saw that it was safer for their packs to stay where they were. Penny now scared Asia with little comments, and her track record of being accurate with those comments was the reason.Asia watched the internet as information leaked out. Much of the speculation came from disbelievers and conspiracy theorists. The government and law enforcement had little to say, which only fuelled the debate more. Asia knew there was nothing to be done but to stay quiet and let the ruling council deal with it.Today was her mating ceremony, and it would be a good time in her life. It took long enough to get this far with Thomas and her pack. She wasn’t going to fool herself. There would always be someone commenting on the changes in a negative way.Those witnessing in person were minimal and all, but Ap
Second Chance for the Alpha Alpha meeting
Karl greets the Alphas as they file into the room he’s using as a study currently. Once they’re settled with tablets, notepads, etcetera, James opened the meeting. “Alright, I think we can skip the intro to the reason for this meeting. We all know why and who we are. Okay Karl, tell us what you have found.”“Thank you, Alpha De Marre. Yes, uh, this is extremely complicated, so please bear with me as I need to explain there’s far too much back story. First, I have received some upsetting news. The latest attack by the Fae was investigated by my life partner’s enforcement team. The entire team is missing. I want to leave and go help, but I have been told not to stay here to continue working. Second, there’s supposed to be a Fianna weapons expert coming, and they are now late. Now, what I found while translating the journal. Hold on, I missed a few disturbing facts.” Karl held up a smaller book. “All original surviving copies of the translation book for the Fae language at in the univers

Karl now turned his attention to contacting his life mate, Pat. Everyone should be home. It was early there.He kept trying with no luck to connect with Pat. Karl didn’t like the feelings of isolation. Or that he didn’t know where Pat was.After some time, it forced him to decide to stop trying. He couldn’t reach anyone at home. It was as if the location was empty of life and that was far from normal. He took a break and found himself a drink and lunch. He could eat before stopping by the front desk to request that they explain how to find the room he was using to study the books in. When he identified the weapons, he did it under the view of the local arms master who ran James’ armoury. They worked together with attempting to understand what weapons killed which creatures. Some were pretty famous while others were far front known. He needed a person who understood lore and creatures from it. He knew languages used for writing magic spells and rituals. He wasn’t truly a specialist an
Second Chance for the Alpha Creeping Suspicions
“Morning Karl, I have a response from the council. The Fianna will send a representative out to assist you. I’m surprised they moved this quickly. They have requested we send them via a mage driven portal rather than flighting out there. You should see them after lunch. Let the front desk know where they will find you. We’ve arranged for their stay. Now, how is the translation coming? Those weapons can’t be handed over without an understanding of what their purpose and function is.” Mages were well ahead of the everyday man. Humans finally got video calling, mages always had that. They called it scrying and Karl used it now to contact his mentor. Who was within the grand walls of the great library? Mages had to have a mentor while they studied and proved themselves. “Thank you, that’s great news. I have most of it translated. Currently, I’m attempting to build a detailed catalogue. With entries about each weapon mentioned within the journal. After that, I must identi
Second Chance for the Alpha Making a Plan
Asia met with Janine the next morning to organize her mating ceremony. Thomas and Haden couldn’t help with it since they needed them to help with the latest discovery. “So here we are. I think I have everything ready for you to look through. There’s even a checklist, so as we fill the binder, we know we haven’t missed anything. Now, so I can help direct you in the right direction. What did you have in mind?” Janine tried to give off a professional air. She ended her words and held her breath, waiting for Asia’s response. “Oh, well, I don’t want anything too complicated. Actually, Thomas and I have been talking about it and we realized that there’s no way we can get everyone we want here without going over the budget.” Asia peaked at Janine, unsure how she would react. Asia watched Janine’s face fall. “Oh, we still want a simple mating ceremony, but we want to live stream it to both territories. We’ll have two receptions later on. But it makes everything a hu
Second Chance for the Alpha A Little Alcohol Brings Out the Truth
“Okay, now you have to tell me who pushed you to do that. I want to thank them. It was perfect.” Emily sat in the bath with James and a glass of wine. She couldn’t see her official mate as she sat between his thighs with her back leaning against his chest. “I’ll start getting offended if you won’t believe me. It was my idea and others just helped. I didn’t like how much you were doing with the pups, pack, resort, and trying to get the mating ceremony setup. It was too much for anyone. I wanted you to relax and enjoy this time.” “You really have changed. A year ago, you wouldn’t have cared if I collapsed from exhaustion.” Emily was a little beyond tipsy now after the refreshments at the reception and drinks at the spa. She’d been careful, but they added up. James, too, was nicely mellowed out. They handed their pups off with a pack caregiver on duty for the night. “Yes, I would have. I relied on you far too much. I think if things hadn’t gotten to the extreme, thi
Second Chance for the Alpha Risking a Reveal
You’d think mages would write everything down on paper and there would be hundreds if not thousands of people employed to look it up at the university. But that wasn’t the case. Computers hold their own kind of logical magic. People just accept that it’s a science. But Karl was aware of the rare instance when some sort of information made it into the hands and minds of those that needed to information to change the world.Here, Karl had the name of a mage, but no time period. They had an app for that. He sent the information about the approximate dates from the journal. Then he hoped for the best. If the name was in the database, he would receive that information soon enough. If it wasn’t, then he could proceed to a physical look up within the older written documents that had yet to be transferred into their version of a computer. Now he continued to translate the stories within the book. That’s what they were, stories. Each weapon had a story. No facts or statistics were t
