The Alpha’s Second Mate Epilogue.
"Isla, you look so pretty.” Sandra says to me, and I look at myself through the mirror.I do look pretty. I look beyond pretty. My cheeks look higher than they've ever looked before, and where my freckles are supposed to be, they seem spotless. I'm glowing; my hair is glowing; my aura is glowing. Every single thing about me is literally glowing.Why wouldn't they? It's my wedding day.Yes, Harry and I are finally getting married. We can’t keep living as co-parents and mates for the rest of our lives. We have to get her married. It took us three years to finally agree to it.Sandra and Denise are here in the room, helping me get ready. I was very much against the idea, but the two paid me no mind as they made up some speech about best friends always being there for each other and whatnot. stuff like that.Now they have to deal with my moodiness and awkwardness. I effing love them so much. "Thank you. I really appreciate this.” I say to the two of them in a very honest tone. They manage
The Alpha’s Second Mate 1| The coronation.
"The rest of our lives start now," Harry says to me with a smile, and I mirror his expression.After all our years of being together, it's finally happening. We graduate from high school today, and this is where our real journey starts.Everyone around us is engaged in conversations of their own, leaving Harry and I in our own world. It's always been this way, ever since we were kids.Even though the differences in our ranks are far apart, we couldn't care less about them. We've been friends for as long as I can remember. Though I can't really pinpoint the exact time when that friendship turned into something more, but I can say that I love it.Harry's coronation into the Alpha position takes place tonight. His father, Alpha Smith, decided that it was high time for Harry to take his position now that he was a grown man.I just can't wait. After Harry becomes Alpha, everything will be settled."Yes, you're right." I tell him as I link our fingers together.Nothing can ruin this for us.
The Alpha’s Second Mate 2| Mates? Oh, no.
It's been two days since the crowning ceremony, and I haven't seen Harry—I mean Alpha Harry. Though I'm constantly hearing about him.It seems like he has been taking on his Alpha responsibilities very well. Too well, in fact. According to random gossip in the pack, he has been very busy yelling at patrol guards and brutally sparring with fellow pack members. Maybe that's why he hasn't had the time to see me.All is forgiven and forgotten about what happened during his crowning ceremony. Maybe he was just having an off day; that's why he spoke rudely. Harry—Alpha Harry isn't a bad person. Which is why I am standing in front of his office door, about to knock and enter.I just need to gather my thoughts first and rehearse what I'm going to say: "Good day, Alpha Harry. I'm just here to check up on you. It's been a while, and I've heard you've been fitting into your new role perfectly.”Good, good, that was perfect. After that, a conversation will start, and we'll be back to normal.I ra
The Alpha’s Second Mate 3| Jealousy!
The pack house has never been so unpleasant to live in, up until these few days. After Alpha Harry discovered that Lauren—Luna Lauren—was his mate, they mated immediately, with Luna Lauren getting full rights to her position.But Luna Lauren finds tormenting me more useful to her time than her Luna duties. Which is why, she has turned me into her personal rag. And the worst part of it all is that Alpha Harry is always on her side. Sometimes, he even goes the extra mile to punish me whenever I find it hard to carry out his mate's impossible tasks. I knew things would change after he became Alpha of the pack, but I didn't know that he would change along with things.I miss the old Harry. The nice one, the caring one, the one that stood up for me through all things, not the current Harry. This cruel being he's made himself to be, a leader that rules with an iron fist and a caged heart. Things weren't supposed to be like this."Why are you just coming in now?" Luna Lauren asks me as I wa
The Alpha’s Second Mate 4| Deserting the pack.
"Let's say I actually agree to go along with your plan to leave the human world; what then? Do you think Alpha Harry would let me? He wouldn't; he would find me and make me regret it." I say this in a panicked tone to Oliver."I wouldn't let that happen," he says. "I'll protect you, no matter what. I wouldn't let Harry or anyone else hurt you. I promise.""What if someone catches us when we're about to leave?" I ask. "Even if that happens, I'll come up with a believable excuse. Everything will be fine. Please, just trust me." Oliver assures me. "I hope you aren't lying to me. I hope this isn't just some plan that the Alpha had you—“"It's not. It's nothing like that. I promise.” He cut me off. “Just come with me, and I promise you'll live a happy life.""Okay then," I reply, hoping that he isn’t trying to trick me.***"You're ready for this, right?" Oliver asks me as we set out for the human lands."Yes," I reply.Oliver and I start the journey, using flashlights to see because it'
The Alpha’s Second Mate 5| Pack town.
Oliver and I cross into the human world looking tattered and in shambles. We start walking down the road, hoping to find any form of help since we're clueless about how people live here.Back in the pack, we had a community. Everyone knew who they were and who their children were going to be. But I'm sure humans live differently from us. I just wonder how different.All my hands and feet hurt, and I'm still traumatized from what just happened minutes ago. I try not to seem bothered by it all, but of course Oliver notices."Isla..." He trails off after calling my name."Yes?" I try to stabilize my voice, but it comes out as shaky as ever. A clear proof of how shaken I am by what we experienced and what we will soon experience."Are you okay?" He asks in the softest tone, and I take in his features. There's nothing angular or sharp about them, nothing like Harry's.Even thinking of his name makes me angry and sad at the same time. I push the thoughts of him out of my head and focus on O
The Alpha’s Second Mate 6| Terribly sick.
I puke out my guts in the toilet, and I can tell that Oliver is worried about me as he has been coming from time to time to check up on me.This is the fourth time today that I've thrown up. It all started a few days ago, when we first got to the human lands. I initially thought that it was just my body that had problems adapting to the new environment. But now I'm not so sure. I'm sick. Dreadfully, terribly sick.I flush down the toilet and carry my body up. I rinse my mouth using the sink's tap water before turning to the mirror to face my reflection. I look so different.Oliver and I went shopping the other day and bought new clothes. I've been eating more regularly now, unlike before in the pack when Luna Lauren used to starve me.Dare I say I'm looking healthier now? But that can't be possible; I'm sick. Sick people don't look plump and lively. I'll have to go to the hospital tomorrow.I come out of the bathroom and walk over to the living room of the apartment that Oliver got
The Alpha’s Second Mate 7| Pregnant?
The paper in my hand starts to shake because of how unstable my hands have suddenly become."Doctor, please, this can't be right," I say, trying to make sense of the situation."Ms. Amory, it is. We ran the tests. You are pregnant." She emphasizes each word, and I start to shake my head as my vision clouds with tears."It can't be. I can't be pregnant. It's just food poisoning. It's supposed to be just food poisoning. I can't have a baby." I start to talk like a crazy person, and the doctor gives me a scrutinizing gaze."Do you know who the father of the baby is?" She asks in hushed whispers, and I manage to nod without crying yet."I suggest you tell him already. You are already four weeks along." She folds her arms, and I choke back a sob."I can't. I can't tell him." I stutter as I slam the results against her desk."Ms. Amory, this is a very delicate situation. The father of the child is supposed to know he is expecting a child. Withholding such information could be interpreted as
