Second Chance for the Alpha Spiralling
April didn’t know what she was going to do. She wanted a man. No, she needed one desperately, but every male she could think of did nothing for her. Mind you, she was avoiding thinking of the darkly handsome Gerald. Gods, what changed her like that? Her phone went off with a message. “This came into my inbox. You must watch it. Asia.” April clicked on a video file and watched herself be humiliated. He’d given chase. What happened? Why didn’t she remember? Oh, she remembered Victoria or. Vicky as she insisted everyone call her. She was trying to match make everyone because she’d just mated herself to a west coast alpha. She’d annoyed April to no end with her fake southern accent and syrupy sweet fake manners. They’d argued that night. April now remembered that. Vicky insisted April needed a mate sooner rather than later. Three wolves stood, but Gerald, as intimidating as ever, made the others back off with his mere presence. But there he was, chasing after he
Second Chance for the Alpha Opening Day
Morning came early for the resort and the staff with parties and gatherings after the grand opening ceremony. Janine couldn’t find time for herself, let alone the face Emily was now in labour. But Emily insisted she continue on with the opening of the resort and she’d be more than welcome after to see the pups. So there she was with her phone in her hands, checking it again and again for any update on her grand pups and Emily herself. The worry and dread she felt hit her like a ton of bricks. Everyone appeared to be enjoying themselves and things were going off without too many issues. Janine was having a hard time keeping up the appearance of a pleasant host that was engaging and pleased her guests were there. Also, keeping the fact that the local Alpha couple was distracted from everything around the birth of their pups and survival of their Luna was extremely difficult when that was all she could think about. Really, it was all
Second Chance for the Alpha The Chase is on
It distracted Gerald throughout most of the meeting. Thank the gods he only had to observe and take up a seat. He didn’t think he could have contributed if he had to. His mind was on the sweet little mate of his.He didn’t like the idea that she didn’t remember what happened. Gerald didn’t think he’d hurt her or harmed her in any way. In fact, every sign she gave was that their encounter, though in wolf form, was what she wanted.She’d moved her tail aside after the prerequisite mating chase and he’d played with her to get her comfortable to his overtures. When he mounted her glorious beast, she’d been more than ready. She needed the relief mating would give her.Now he wondered what it would be like to take her human form. Would she be as willing? He’d knotted inside her. It took hours to find his relief and been able to leave her hot core.As wolves that ensured a mating ending in pregnancy. It was one way the mate ensured they had pups. Gerald had to catch the grin of pure joy on h
Second Chance for the Alpha Their Arrival
Emily resisted going to the clinic until the very last minute. Which drove James to distraction. He thought he’d have to carry her there physically. They were, in fact, coming and nothing would stop them. That was, until Emily’s blood pressure rose and wouldn’t come down. The healers would have to operate. So here sat James as they worked to save the pups and his mate. He’d been sure everything would be fine. Now, he wasn’t sure of anything. Gods, please, he’ll do better if only he could keep them all. Over two hours later, he was informed that all survived. Two pups and their mother were resting. A male and female lay in the infant bedding, sound asleep. Two perfect little beings. Even now, he could see surprising similarities between them and their parents. James couldn’t wait to get to know their personalities. It was all a little overwhelming in a good way. No, he needed to keep his promise to the gods. Someone was listening. There’d be time enough late
Second Chance for the Alpha Time’s Running Out. Will She
“What do you mean, he’ll be here in an hour? Gerald will be here, are you sure?” April thought she’d have a few days, but not today. What would she say? What could she say? “Would you please breathe? It’s not that bad. He’ll come and meet you. Then you can talk to him face-to-face and get some answers.” Asia tried to reason with April, but it wasn’t working. She was in one of her rare panics. “Answers, yeah, he’s got a lot to answer, for that’s for sure. Why did you let him come here? He’s done some sketchy things. I don’t think I like his idea of courtship.” “April, he was highly traditional. I agree it’s outdated and barbaric. But the problem is where and when it happened. If I fight him on this, we could have issues with inter-pack politics. Then we have two alpha families in one pack in a few years. I hate this as much as you do. You know exactly what you’d advise me to do if anyone else was in this situation.” Asia struggled with this. She felt like she was
Second Chance for the Alpha Eva’s Big Day
Eva stood at the edge of the meadow. An entire pack of wolves she barely knew waited for her to step forward be accepted by their alpha into the pack. Then have her mating with Damon announced, validated, and accepted by the alpha and the pack. No biggie, right? Just a formality. So why weren’t her feet moving? She could see Damon, and he could see her. Okay, she had this. Penny expected a mommy by the end of the day. Gods, what was she getting herself into? Fine, just one foot in front of the other. Eva made her way through the crowd as it parted for her. Asia and Thomas arrive late last night for this. She’d still now spoken to either of them, so Eva didn’t know what was going on. It only took a minute for her to get to the ceremonial mound. She walked up the gentle grade to Damon, and he took her hand in his to lead her into position. They traditionally lay the meadow out. If a human passed by, it would look like a family garden party was happening. Flowers, ta
Second Chance for the Alpha Time is Up
April watched the vehicle pull up to the front of the packhouse and she recognized Gerald exiting the vehicle. Her belly did a somersault, and she wasn’t sure if the queasiness she felt was for the man she just saw, her nerves, or her pregnancy. April was hiding on the upper floor of the packhouse, and Asia just left to greet Gerald. She wanted to have a talk with him before April saw him. April knew she could get behind that. Now, if only Asia could keep him talking forever, then April would be ecstatic. What did she feel she’d lose to him? Freedom? Her identity? Her independence? The life she’d built for herself on her own merit. All other the above? She’d watched strong women go from being their own person to being Mrs. so and so. Losing their very name. Would she be able to do as she liked? Or they would expect her to drop everything and fulfil other peoples’ expectations? Would they hold her to traditions and values that she didn’t hold? These were all questions April feare
Second Chance for the Alpha Confrontation
April knew she had to face him. But between his size and dominating personality, April didn’t stand a chance. She wasn’t a meek little mouse of a wolf. Or a broken one. She was feeling tiny, and that wasn’t something she was used to. Add in the man was drop dead gorgeous with his perfect hair and designer suits. Suits he didn’t think twice about shifting in. He just destroyed and replaced without a thought. Gerald must hate her. He probably believed she was pregnant just to corner him into a mating. That didn’t click since he’d messed with her head and used her animal to ensure she became pregnant. That or someone else messed with him too, and they were both in this mess together. April’s mind was everywhere and nowhere. Trying to find every scenario possible and finding nothing that made sense. Asia followed her to the office door, where April stopped before it was dead in her tracks. Thomas was leaving the office and April could see Gerald’s tall and very

Second Chance for the Alpha Their Happy Ever After??
Happy EndingsJames and EmilyEmily and James have come so far from the stunted, messy, immature, and abusive relationship of their early years, overcome medical disaster, and so much more. Now, as parents and on the verge of a successful resort business, they deserve a little peace and quiet to enjoy their second chance. Their highlight success was with the rogue wolves that came to them. All but two survived the trip and the great adjustment into pack life. They had such success that eventually both twins had their own packs when they were old enough.Janine and HadenThey have both found a second chance with each other and a new lease on life managing the resort. Life won’t be quiet for them, but that’s the life they chose. So we leave off with the weapons, passing to the Largest Ontario Wolf Shifter Pack and the political power of the Wolf Shifters. Now they can settle into their twilight years together, chasing Duck Shifters from the front fountain, and keeping bear shif
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
Second Chance for the Alpha Family’s Always There for You
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
