The Alpha’s Second Mate 32| What About Oliver?
The closer I get to Harry, the more I'm able to make out the satisfied smirk on his face directed at me."Don't smirk at me." I grunt as I walk up the small steps into the temple.His smirk turns into a full-on grin, and I scowl. He doesn't make any attempt to stand up from the table; he rests his elbows against the table and intertwines his fingers.I drag the only other chair around the table and take a seat."The dress is a perfect fit." He says, and I'm not able to tell whether it is a compliment or a common observation."Don't talk to me." I raise my hand to stop him, and he snorts."Let's eat," he sighs, and I grunt as I turn my attention to the meal.He opens a tray, and the first course is barbecued shrimp. I frown, but I love these. How dare he serve what I love?I start to dig into the food ferociously, not minding his gaze on me. But eventually, I get irritated."What?" I snap at him."Nothing," he shrugs. I narrowed my eyes at his figure.We continue to eat, and all of a s
The Alpha’s Second Mate 33| Training Yard.
"One more time, remind me of what we're doing here." I asked Sandra, letting out a tired sigh afterwards."The Alpha wanted you to see how these people work here." She gestures all around us, causing me to frown.I was forced to wake up bright and early this morning and was dragged all the way to the soldier's training yard. Sandra said the newly turned wolves have started training.Now here I am, sitting alongside Sandra, watching teenagers listen to strong-headed adults insult their existence because they can't throw a punch well."Stop tucking your thumbs inside your fists!" One of the trainers yells at the boys, and they flinch. I do as well.Damn, they are not training them for the army. These are just kids."I'd rather do anything, literally anything, than be here," I tell Sandra, and she chuckles. "Well, that's not up to you." She tells me and I groan out in frustration. "Everything about this pack is just so tiring. How can you stand it?" I change the subject as I turn away
The Alpha’s Second Mate 34| Bloodthirsty.
As Lauren walks away, Harry comes into view.Really? The day can't get any worse than this.He's wearing black, as always, but he's not dressed formally like he always is. He's wearing a blank tank top with black joggers.I see he's also here for training. His muscles are being flexed as he walks, and his aura is clouding the air. As he passes by people, they bow to him until he gets to Sandra and me.Sandra is respectful of him, so she does the needful. I don't do sh*t. He waits for me to acknowledge him, but instead, I drop down on the bed and fold my arms, pretending to be severely interested in what the youngsters are doing.It takes him a while to realize that I'm playing the ignoring game. But when he does, he clears his throat and dismisses Sandra.Once she's gone, he takes her space on the bench next to me, and I resist the urge to stand up just then and walk back to my room."How are you?" I hear him asking."I was fine before you kidnapped me and blackmailed me to stay in yo
The Alpha’s Second Mate 35| Kill Me Now.
Later that day, when I'm all alone in my room, I start to think.Harry isn't fit to be an alpha. He's cruel, merciless, and unfeeling. He only does things for his own benefit. He doesn't care who he hurts or how he hurts them.He's a terrible person, and he is so unremorseful concerning his actions. He needs to pay for all the things he has done and will continue to do.But I don't know how.I'm not sure what I can do in this situation. All I know is that if Harry continues to lead this pack, he will run it to the ground.That is, if he hasn't already done that.Everyone is scared of him, and they think all that he does is just. How can they even accept all the horrible things he does to them?It's probably because they are already used to it and fear him. But no more.These people should learn that they shouldn't be afraid of Harry. The only thing he has backing him up is his title and his wolf.Without those two things, he is nothing.Wait a second!Without his title and his power,
The Alpha’s Second Mate 36| Smart Child.
"But there was something between you guys. Before you left the pack. He was your boyfriend, wasn't he?" One of the students in the class asks.I turn around to face the source of the voice, and I see a scrawny little kid, maybe six or five, with two missing front teeth and a mischievous glint in his eyes. He has the cutest chubby cheeks and the weirdest bow-cut.From just looking at the cute kid, I can tell he's evil."Uh..." I say, at a loss for words.The little kid got me good."Answer the question, Ms. I'm-not-your-Luna. You and Alpha Harry were high school sweethearts, then he ditched you for that witch—""Simon! That's enough!" Denise snaps at the boy, and the other students laugh. The boy—Simon—still looks persistent as he scrunches up his face in feigned innocence."What? I'm just asking the pretty lady some questions." Simon whines, and I snort at 'pretty lady.'This little kid has some rizz. He reminds me of Dylan. My cunning little genius. Nothing gets past that child. It's
The Alpha’s Second Mate 37| Make Him See It.
The next day, I don't let Sandra come to me first. Instead, I go to find her bright and early in the morning. I'm directed to the workers' quarters.A place I'm all too familiar with. I had lived in this same quarter for eighteen years. And my room was the worst of it. If you could even call the shoebox I lived in a room.Lord, now that I remember all the things I passed through, I can clearly say that they were inhumane. I was just a kid. I didn't deserve all of that.Some of the people I used to know cast me curious glances as I walked through their midst. They're probably wondering what I'm doing back here.In their minds, I have outgrown this place. It's no longer for me; I don't belong here anymore. But some part of me will always belong beneath the surface and on top of the gutters.I ask for directions to Sandra's room from a nearby person, and she points me towards the last door down the hallway.I pick up my pace and go over there. I give a light knock before I hear a small '
The Alpha’s Second Mate 38| Speak Of The Devil.
Sandra and I go up to the breakfast table. Today, I invite her to eat with me. I think we've now passed the maid and lady stage.I mean, we were just talking about overthrowing her leader. It's safe to say we're now friends. even best friends. The new cook serves up a plate of hot pancakes with blueberries and maple syrup. We dig into the food like animals. Damn, talking does make me hungry.As we eat, I make up my mind to head into Harry's office immediately and have a nice long talk with him. That is, if he'd let me.I haven't spoken to him since that day we had a spat on the training grounds. I still cannot and will never forgive him.He thinks he's been precautious, but he's just being obnoxious. Who the hell kills people before getting information from them?He is hotheaded and unstable. Unfit to govern members of the pack; heck, he can't even govern himself. Every day, I keep wondering what made him like this.It all started after his coronation. The day he officially became an
The Alpha’s Second Mate 39| Tell me, Isla.
I leave Sandra and march down to Harry's office with a million things on my mind.But the recurring thought has to do with Councilor Will. What does he know about Sir Smith? How did he find out about his state and what happened to him?This is all so confusing.When I get to Harry's office door, I only knock once before giving myself permission to enter his office. He's working, as usual.As he hears my footsteps inside his office, he looks up from his desk and turns to face me."We have a lot to discuss." I say with urgency as I drag out the chair on the other side of his desk and take a seat, relaxing my back into the soft cushion, plated with leather."We sure do." He says in a mysterious tone, and I nod."First of all—""You should respect me." He cuts off my words, and the rest die down inside my throat as I give him an incredulous look."What?" My pitch goes an octave higher."You barged into my office without waiting for my permission to answer, and you have the audacity to rai
