"We found Lauren." Oliver says in an unethical tone."Oh," is the only thing that I can say."Where is she?" Harry inquires in a buff tone."Soldiers have her rounded and handcuffed in the courtyard," Oliver answers straight-forwardly."Good," Harry says, and without wasting anymore time, he walks out of the office, stomping every which way, leaving only Oliver and I alone.I let out an awkward laugh. "How are you?" I ask him, and he summons a smile. It's a pure sad one, but at least he's still smiling, so that counts for something, right?"Today did not turn out how I thought it would," he tries to joke, and I let out a small chuckle as we both started to walk out of the office and down to the so-called courtyard where Lauren is being held captive."Same," I say, and as we step outside, I realise that the sun has fully risen and that it's now another day.I hear the voices before I see the people. I can distinctly hear Lauren begging for mercy, though I doubt she's really sorry or de
The Alpha’s Second Mate 98| He?
Councillor Will is here.The men holding him from both ends keep on shoving him over to where Harry and I are standing. The councillor keeps on struggling and yelling out profanities, but no one pays attention.They finally get him to kneel in front of us beside his daughter, and I don't miss the look of fury on his face when his pieces came out, indicating that his daughter must've revealed his location.Lauren, unaware of her father's rage, turns her attention back to Harry and me. Harry especially, to be specific. She puts on a docile and repentant face, probably thinking that she'll be able to thaw Harry's heart.Either she's incredibly stupid or she actually believes that she and Harry still have a chance together. I would've pitied her, but she doesn't deserve it in the slightest way."Harry, let me go now. Please..." She pouts, and for the first time today, Harry really looks at her.Is that pity I see in his eyes? It must be my imagination, so I just let it go. And even though
The Alpha’s Second Mate 99| Jeremy.
HARRYI've done a lot of bad things in my life, and I know that karma is real and a raging bitch. I, of all people, know that you reap what you sow, and I sowed a lot of bad seeds, which I'm still reaping to this day.But nothing, absolutely nothing, prepared me for the councillor's betrayal. I told him things that I could never and would never tell my father. Councillor Will has been my role model since the beginning of my life.He's always been there. Always. Even when everybody left and I became a shell of my old self, he was there. He was there through thick and thin, curvy, bent, and everything in between.And Lauren—I've never cared for Lauren that much, so her betrayal didn't come off as shocking as it was supposed to. Instead, I even kind of predicted it.I knew that she was a very clingy and possessive person who didn't like things slipping away from her grasp, and I got away. I was the one who got away from her, and she didn't like it for one bit.I've also known that Isla i
The Alpha’s Second Mate 100| Vendetta.
The councillor's words hit home.Jeremy? Jeremy has been the one behind all this. As the councillor continues to speak, I see how Harry's features twitch and harden more. I've never seen him like this, but then again, he's never been betrayed by his own blood.As I tell him that he's channelling his anger towards this wrongdoer, my words seem to settle down in his head as he transitions into deep thought.I'm afraid. I'm afraid of what's running through his mind. I'm sure that whatever she's thinking about is going to be very dangerous."Look at you; all the while you should've been searching for your brother, you're here wasting your time with us. We had nothing to do with this. But perhaps if your little mate hadn't mentioned anything, you would still be in the dark." The councillor's words seem to aggravate Harry more and more.I know for one thing that he's just trying to spite Harry, and my friend is just taking bait. Though why? I can't be sure."I suggest that you go find the r
The Alpha’s Second Mate 101| Prussian Blue.
"Lauren is lying," Sandra says in a tired voice, and confusion washes over my expression."What? What do you mean? And what are you doing here?" I ask all in one breath, and she steps closer.I see Lauren pale at the sight of Sandra. Okay, what is going on here? I seem to understand absolutely nothing."This isn't the time and place for nonsense. If you know you have important information, spill it because there's no time to waste." Harry says to Sandra in a rather sharp voice, and I feel a bit bad for her."Lauren is lying," Sandra repeats."About what?" I ask, and Sandra takes a deep breath before speaking."She knew about the attack, and she even plotted it. She was the one who poisoned the arrows the rogues used." She accuses, and collective gasps are heard around the courtyard."That's! That's a lie!" Lauren splutters in between words."No, it's not. And I have proof." Sandra puffs out her chest as she speaks in a confident tone.Even though I don't know what she wants to prove,
The Alpha’s Second Mate 102| Lust For Power.
"YOU BITCH!" Lauren sneers at Sandra, almost lunging for her, but the latter looks unfazed by all the attempts of the former."You got what you deserved." Sandra says to Lauren in a sharp tone, and a smug look settles on my face as I clap for her.Everyone around me joins me as we cheer on Sandra and her good deed. I walk over to her to see that she's blushing a bit. I rest my hand on her shoulder, and she flinches a bit before looking up to see that I'm the one who touched her."You did good, Sandra. You did really good." I say to her, giving her shoulders a light squeeze, and she nods her head for me."I'm sorry for drugging," she says, and an amused smile settles on my features."It's fine. Besides, I've always wanted to get high." My voice drops to a whisper, and I wink at the ending of my statement. Sandra's eyes widen and her jaw drops, almost touching the floor, causing me to laugh hard.I'm about to tell her that I'm only joking when suddenly Oliver is in our midst. He looks a
The Alpha’s Second Mate 103| Asylum.
"You're willing to sacrifice so many wolves to search for me, brother?" A calming yet deadpan voice soothed the air.Everyone jerks into alertness as we turn to face the owner of the voice. My lips parted as a gasp escaped through them. Even though Jeremy and I weren't really close when we were younger and it's been years since I last saw him, a single glance and I can already tell him apart.That's partly because he's an exact replica of my mate; the only differences are in hairstyle and bodily muscle; perhaps we could see the difference in features.While Harry's face is all chiselled with sharp edges, Jeremy's is softer, more curvier, and innocent. But only to onlookers. From what I've heard today, he might just be the spawn of the devil.A wry smile forms on his lips as we walk closer to where Harry and I are standing, and that's when I notice the three men behind. Not specifically them, but what they're holding.My babies!Three buff and angry-looking rogues hold on tight to my t
The Alpha’s Second Mate 104| The Big Three!
"My children...?" Harry asks in a confused tone.The smug and vicious look on Jermy's face is so bright yet dull at the same time. He turns to face me, and mock pity washes over his expression."Isla, Isla, Isla," he calls, shaking his head. "Have you not told my brother that you bore three kids for him?" He feigns innocence as he speaks, and I swallow a bitter bile on my throat as everyone gasps and turns to me.My vision blurs as my eyes turn glassy."And they say that I'm the traitor. Here you are hiding my brother's own flesh and blood from him. That's cruelty on another level, Isla." Jeremy continues to speak."Isla..." I hear a voice drawl from beside me, and I turn to see Harry staring at me with pure betrayal in his eyes. My heart breaks all over again.This. This is what I've been trying to avoid all along. This horrible and harsh feeling of betrayal overwhelms Harry as he stares at me. He's looking at me like he doesn't know who I am anymore.Of all the ways Harry has found
