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
The Alpha’s Second Mate 69| His Downfall.
HARRYI should've known this would be what became of my life. As I walk down the halls, everyone scowls at me and passes foul comments."Murderer.""Failure.""Fallen one.""Disgusting human."Each of them stings worse than the last one. The fact that they are all true is the most painful. These are the people I have devoted my entire life to.Everything I did, I did it for them. And now that I am no longer their leader, they are quick to scorn me.I don't linger on my thoughts about them. Instead, I focus on what I'm doing today. Isla, the new alpha, instructed me to make amends for everything I did.Only she could give such a punishment. She still believes in redemption and second chances. Her kind heart and the actions she takes never cease to amaze me.I go outside to the courtyard, and I scan the first name. Bernard Fitz. Cause of death: suicide for sneaking past sleeping hours to be with his beloved.I flinch at the words I have written. I won't say I regret the way I dealt with
The Alpha’s Second Mate 70| He Saved Me.
"He went to the Johnsons to apologise, you know, for his punishment. People around me didn't take it lightly. They started to attack, and he didn't do anything. They're all gathering around him, and he's not doing anything. He's not fighting back. Why isn't he fighting back?" She grabs my arms and starts to shake me.I stop her and pry her arms off me before I rest my hands on her shoulders, trying to calm her down."Bubbles, you have to relax. You're not making any sense. I can't understand you." I say really slowly, and I see that tears are still running down her face."Just calm down. Take deep breaths." I tell her, and she tries to do just that. After a few seconds, when she calms down, I ask her to explain what she was saying earlier."They're attacking him on the north side of the pack. The next family on his list stays there. People don't really appreciate the form of your punishment for him, and they tried to take matters into their own hands. They're going to kill him; you ha
The Alpha’s Second Mate 71| Harboring Feelings.
"It's because he saved me." Bubbles says in the softest tone that I have ever heard her use.My entire face scrunches up in confusion as I try to understand what she just said."What do you mean by he saved you?" I ask her slowly, and she sniffles as she leads the two of us to the waiting bench by the wall.After we're both settled, she starts to speak. "My parents were not the nicest people in the pack." I don't know why, but I immediately relate to her words."They used to hit me until I passed out, and there was nothing I could do about it. Harry might've not been an angel, but he saved me from them.""He did the only thing he knew how to when it came to punishments. When he found out that they hit their eleven-year-old daughter, he held a beheading." I gasp not because of her words but because of the small smile on her face as she says them."He saved me from them and took me into his house. He literally raised me after that, and I can't think of a world without him in it." She lo
The Alpha’s Second Mate 72| Guilt.
"No, the moonlight only makes us more agile and active." I say to the kids."Is that why I get so hyper every time it's a full moon?" Daniel asks me, and I laugh."No, honey. You get hyper because you steal soda behind my back. Besides, it only activates after you've turned into a werewolf, and that isn't going to happen for a while." I grab his ears, and he shoves me off."I can't wait to be a werewolf, mummy." Lilah says in excitement, and I smile."Okay okay. That's enough werewolf talk for today. Let's go to bed." I say as I start to pull the blanket over the three of us."You're sleeping here? With us?" Dylan questions me in a suspicious tone, and I narrow my eyes at him."Yeah, is there anything wrong with that?" I ask him, and he shrugs."Not really, but I thought you'd want to stay with Oliver, like you've been doing." Dylan says."Well, I'm not doing it anymore. Besides, I want to spend time with you guys." I ruffled his hair."Mummy, did you have a fight with Oliver?" Lilah
The Alpha’s Second Mate 73| Prove it.
"WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?!" Someone booms in a pissed-off tone.I immediately jerk away from Harry like I've been bumped by him, and he lets me go."Nothing," I answer Oliver in a high-pitched tone, and he gives me a scrutinising look. He doesn't believe me.Even I don't believe me."Oliver..." Harry trails off, and I see the sharp look Oliver cuts his way before turning his full attention to me."What are you doing here?" He asks as he starts walking into the room."I came to check on this member of my pack." I don't know his name. Oliver notices. "There are other members of your pack who are safe for this one." Oliver grinds out, and I start to feel guilty.He's right. He's annoyingly right. What is wrong with me?"Oliver, she just came to check up on me. There's nothing wrong with that." Harry speaks in my favour, and for once, I wish I could seal his mouth shut.Oliver cuts a look Harry's way. "After what you've done, you don't even deserve anyone checking on you. Least of all, Isl
The Alpha’s Second Mate 74| Show Me.
"Isla..." Sandra turns, and I look up to face her. "Don't tell me that you're falling for Harry all over again." She says in a pleading tone, and I frown."I'm not falling for Harry all over again, but I think that I'm forgiving him." I say, and it's her turn to frown."Isla, he's killed multiple people. And you're just going to forgive him? Just like that." Sandra says in an accusatory tone."At the end of the day, forgiveness is the only way to get to healing. Eventually, you and I will still have to forgive him. He's trying to make amends.”"Only because you told him to!" She interjects, and I take the time to think.She's actually right. If I hadn't told Harry to apologise to people, would he have done it in the first place?He was already apologising to me for what he did before I told him about the punishment. Does that count for anything?I don't even know."That's not the point, but he's still making amends." I stand by my words."Isla, you're not making this easy for yourself
