All Chapters of Second Chance for the Alpha: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

             Haden watched Janine’s wolf chase a rabbit through the woods on the way back to the packhouse. She was playing with the fluffy herbivore. Neither was hungry, he was sure of that after all the s’mores they’d eaten and dinner. But they needed time together. He knew she needed it to form a sense of trust between them, and he was sure she’d open up to him once that trust formed.Once they’d shifted back to their human forms that didn’t bother to dress. Rather, they carried their clothes with them as they took the back stairs up to his apartment. “Come in and have a nightcap. We can relax and talk.”“I’m not dressed for that.” Janine looked scandalized at the thought. It was one thing to walk to their apartments naked. It was another to spend time in his apartment the same way.“We’re grown adults and everyone’s

             James found Emily attempting to hide in that little room she called her domain. It was supposed to be her office as Beta. But Evan decided he wanted something smaller and less like a sitting room. So he now made his office on the upper floor near the top of the stairs.             “Hey, can we talk?”             “I’m not sure what do you want to talk about?” Emily wasn’t sure how to take any of this. She hated giving him the cold shoulder, but she wasn’t ready to forget completely and forgive yet, either. “Come in. I need to put this down. It’s too hot. Close the door and tell me what’s you’re so eager to talk about.”             “We

             Janine awoke to a pale light glaring through the curtains and directly into her eyes. She cursed to herself, thinking she’d forgotten to close them again. But stopped herself from doing more than shielding her eyes as she felt a heavy arm across her breasts. One large handheld one of them in its grasp. Janine couldn’t stop herself from expressing an enormous sigh of regret before she looked up into the man’s face. There wasn’t a question about who it was. Haden lay there beside her, possessively holding onto her. If he hadn’t told her at dinner last night that he intended to keep this up, then how he held her in his sleep told her everything she needed to know.             But it still didn’t put her in a good light with the pack. It was one thing that her son might suspect about this, but if the pack knew. W

             Emily couldn’t believe James’ words. Oh, she was sure that he meant them. Currently, she knew all his dirty secrets with women. Yes, they were mated, but did he truly feel the bond finally? She’d felt it soon after she recovered enough to be released from the medical centre. For her, it killed her seeing him go from one meaningless relationship to another. He twisted the knife a little deeper whenever he made her get rid of the annoying and clingy ones.             “James, you want this, but I’m hesitant. How do I know I’m not just the next unwanted lover? Remember? I know all your dirty secrets.” Emily kept her expression stern and serious. She didn’t want him to mistake this for anything lighthearted or humorous. This was the conversation she’d always wished to have, but never found the ne

             Janine looked everywhere for James and nothing. He wasn’t in any of the places she expected him to be at this time of day. She’d looked from his apartment to Emily’s, the dining room, even the office. Nothing. He must be out with Emily somewhere. She hoped that boded well for their mating. This was such a touchy subject, but one day she’d be able to remind them she’d tried to get them together for a reason.             In the end, she could do nothing but leave a message asking him. To confirm, Haden actually had spoken to him about this idea. It didn’t take long for James to get back to her with a yes, and the revised contract was on his desk. It just needed to be signed before the planning stages for the investigation could start. James also mentioned that he hoped she would find it an interesting project t
