The Alpha’s Second Mate 61| Suspicious.
I've thought of the idea for a while now, and I'm sure of it. I'm going to bring my kids to this pack. But I'm not sure I can trust anyone with their existence.I mean, they are Harry's blood; one look at them and a person will be able to trace their parental line. If I bring them here, it'll have to be a secret. No one can know.But Sandra.I have to tell her about them. She's my closest friend, and she's one of the biggest reasons why I was able to overthrow Harry.She helped me so much that the least I can do is reveal this part of myself to her.During the coronation ceremony tonight, I'll tell her. I'll tell her everything there is to know because I trust her.For the rest of the day, I visit different divisions of the pack and pay my respects to them, side by side with Oliver.The funny thing is that, though they are all aware of the real reason why he left, no one accuses him of anything. They treat him like he's always around.They're too welcoming. It makes me feel a bit of s
The Alpha’s Second Mate 62| Easy Peasy.
"What were you two talking about?" My tone is sharp and suspicious. Sandra starts to fiddle with her fingers as her gaze drops to the ground. Oliver is the one to speak first. "Nothing all that important." He speaks for the both of them, and I raise a brow. "Really?" I inquire in an unbelieving tone, and he nods his head. "Yes. You shouldn't really bother yourself with it." He smiles, and I stare at him for a while. I search his figure for anything odd or suspicious, but he gives off nothing. I think I'm crazy; I'm starting to see things. What exactly did I see? Nothing. They were just talking, and now I'm interrogating them like I caught them tangled up under sheets. Something must be wrong with me. I let out a heavy sigh and shake my head as a smile forms on my features. "Okay then," I chirp, and I don't miss the relieved sigh that Sandra lets out. Oliver turns around to pop someth
The Alpha’s Second Mate 63| Lied To Us.
I've been waiting anxiously for the past few hours. Technically, since Oliver left the pack to retrieve my kids, I haven't had the guts to leave my office all day.I don't know why I'm anxious. They're my children; I shouldn't be so nervous.But what if they hate me? What if they're mad at me for not being with them for so long? I know Dylan; surely he's going to be pissed as hell about it.And what if they hate me for telling the truth about who they are? Surely that'll top the cake. I've been hiding them from their destiny all their lives.What could be worse than that?I need air. The office is getting suffocating all of a sudden. I stand up from my chair and start to head outside.I'm nowhere near my room when I spot Councillor Will coming straight towards me. I straighten my back and clear my throat.I look like the Alpha that I am.He motivates me and smiles from afar. Once he gets closer, he takes a small bow, and I nod my head."Good morning, Councillor," I greet him respectfu
The Alpha’s Second Mate 64| The Truth.
"What? What are you talking about? What did I lie about?" I ask all in one breath, and they huff.Dylan, their representative, comes forward as a bridge between me and his siblings."For one, you weren't out of the country saving kids. I know the truth. This place isn't a hospital. Secondly, you lied about who we are. Oliver said, This is our home.""So didn't we live here before? You were so tired of us that you came to live here all by yourself, and when you got bored, you made Oliver come get us. I don't like you, mummy." Dylan accuses me.My first thought is to burst into a fit of laughter, but I don't do that. If I do, it'll piss them off more. So I swallowed all the humour in my throat and put a solemn look on my face."You got it all wrong. The first reason I came here was to help someone I knew. He was like a father to me, and he was sick. Now that he's gotten better, that's why I got Oliver to bring you guys here.""The illness was contagious, and I didn't want you guys to ge
The Alpha’s Second Mate 65| I’m Sorry.
I've been sensing my wolf for a while now, but I'm not sure she's entirely back. But her presence is enough to show these kids who's boss.I don't need to do much. They look at me expectantly as I call for my wolf. And when I say call, I mean summon for a flash of a second.I'm sure my eyes changed colour because I saw things differently a second ago. I raise up one of my hands in midair to see the fur already sticking out with the skin, battling to come out.I hear the kids horrified gasps, and I decide that they've seen enough.I push back my wolf and close my eyes as I struggle to regain full control of myself. It takes me a few seconds, but once I do, the triplets stare at me like I'm otherworldly."Mummy, you just—your eyes, your hand. You, you, would you look at that?” For the first time ever, Dylan is actually speechless.I can't believe it.If this is what it takes to shut these children up, then I should've told them this years ago."Your eyes were like gold, and you turned a
The Alpha’s Second Mate 66| Forgive And Forget.
"I'm sorry." Harry says in a soft voice, and I stumble back at the suddenness.He stands up from the bed to level with me—more like tower over me, but you get the point."What did you say?" I asked to confirm if I heard the correct thing."I said I'm sorry. I know that I did a lot of wrongs towards you. A whole lot, and I, I... regret them." He struggles to speak, and I start shaking my head, not believing the words that I'm hearing.He's apologising to me?That doesn't sound right. Perhaps I've fallen into an alternative universe because this moment cannot be real, and Harry cannot be the one standing in front of me and apologising for what he's done."Being an alpha comes with a target point pinned to your back. I found that hard the way," he says, struggling to speak, like he's forcing the words to come out of his mouth."What? What are you saying?" I try to wrap my head around this entire situation, but it's not working out."I'm saying that I'm sorry. I'm saying that I shouldn't
The Alpha’s Second Mate 67| Kill Him.
It's good that he accepted so quickly. He knows that I'm being too lenient with him. "I'll try my best." He forces it out of his mouth, and I nod. "Your best better be enough because if it's not, the beheading option is still on the table." I say with a sweet smile, and he grimaces. "I'll take my leave now," I say after a while, clearing my throat. Harry nods at me, and I give him a tight-lipped smile before walking out on him. Once I take a step out of the room, I let out a deep breath and clutch my chest. I feel tears swelling up in my eyes, but I choke back on them. I can't let the guards see me like this. I compose myself and take fast steps to my office. I hold myself so I won't shatter in front of any of the pack members. When I get to my office, I slam the door shut and let out all the tears I've been holding back. I cry for coming back to this pack; I cry for being something I'm not; I cry for p
The Alpha’s Second Mate 68| The List.
After the day is over, I retreat back to my quarters to see Oliver already in bed, waiting for me. He's bare-chested with boxer briefs on.I smile at the sight as I kick off my shoes."My alpha fiancée," he teases me, and I smile. I haven't seen him all day, so hearing his voice alone does things to me.I take off all my clothes until I am in my underwear, then I cannonball into bed."Someone is in a hurry today," he remarks as I climb on top of him, straddling him."I missed you," I say as I place a chaste kiss on his lips."I missed you too." He says this as he deepens the kiss and places his hands on my waist.I start to remove the strands of my bra to free myself as he starts to speak."I heard you talked to Harry today about his punishment." He says as he kisses my jawline down to my neck."Yes, he's on board with it. He's giving me a list tomorrow as he starts his punishment." I say as my bra fully comes out, springing my breasts free. Oliver uses one of his hands to pinch my ni
