All Chapters of Second Chanced Mates: Chapter 111 - Chapter 120

Arielle's POVFor two weeks, we all took turns in looking after Scar’s mother. Camille’s presence was now a normal thing in the house. She would go from applying different lotions on her to chanting different incantations over her, trying different charms or enchantments that might make her recover faster. We didn’t know how to deal with the fact that she could do so much without asking us to help, but there were no real problems for us, and none of us complained. Today, she was burning dry herbs at her bedside. The smell was awful – I could tell by her expression that it was bothering her – but it wasn’t hurting her, so we tried to ignore it as best we could while she chanted. At some point, her lips moved more than usual, and then her entire body shook like she was having an epileptic fit. That was what not we thought anyway, because it seemed unlikely that anyone else could see what was going on, we all knew it was part of her routine.But today, Scar’s mother's hands started fla

Queen Krisdana’s POVIt seemed bright when I woke up, too bright, my eyes tried to stay open as they struggled to adjust to the light illuminating in the room . But it took a while for them to open properly and after a while I was able to see where I was. It looked dark outside and so I looked around trying to figure out what time it was but I couldn’t find the clock because of all the blankets covering me, which was weird since I don’t remember putting any on. My head felt heavy and my body felt like I had been run over by a trolley train. Everything hurt and I could barely even focus enough to move my hand without feeling the pain. So I gave up on trying to see the clock because that would probably just make everything worse. But as the seconds passed, the more things got clearer in my mind.But there was a stinging sensation by the side of my neck, I tried to move again but I couldn't and panic flooded through me like a tidal wave. What’s happening to me? Where am I? Why can’t I

On one of those nights, I was lying awake on the couch in Mother’s room, staring at Mother’s sleeping figure when suddenly her eyes fluttered open. I quickly sat up and reached out to hold her hand but she didn’t seem to notice me and her expression changed instantly. She was staring straight ahead, blankly, her eyes unfocused as she seemed confused or in pain, I couldn't tell what was going through her brain. Her lips moved but she made no sound. “Can you hear me?” I asked carefully as I put my hand over hers “Mother..?” And suddenly her eyes widened and she started shaking. “I'm here. Everything will be alright now, I promise” I assured her, stroking her cheek lightly. I hoped she could understand me because I certainly was not getting any answers from her right now. She blinked several times and then she looked up at me, a frown on her face and she shook her head. Her eyes flickered around the room, taking in every detail of it. As if she was saying “Where... am I?”, her eyes

It was suffocating. I didn't know if there was anything I could do to remedy the situation but I would do anything. Just to be able to fall asleep again. Just to feel at peace again, the calm kind of peace, the kind you can find during a peaceful nap.But hey, I wasn't being ungrateful.This was a gift, I didn't want to mess it up and hurt anyone else in the process. That's what family is for, right? They care about each other and give a hand, support one another and keep the whole world standing upright so it's impossible to topple it over. So I would continue to help them, even if I needed a little bit less sleep than usual, to keep our family standing. Even if it was difficult and it would cost me something.Scar had even me everything and it was the least I could do.Penelope invited Fenris over for dinner tonight and I was forced to switch seats, I didn't want to be seated directly opposite him which meant that I wouldn't be able to watch him the whole evening. And that I was pl

Arielle’s POVI don’t know how I felt but I was relieved that it wasn’t Fenris, I didn't want such a man for her.“Are you not going to say something?” Penelope peered at me, her eyes were glistening with tears . She wiped at them furiously with the back of her hand before glaring down at the table. “Who is it?”“Some blonde young man, whose father is in brother's council,” she admitted bitterly.“And you don't like him?” I asked like I didn't know already.“Of course not! I love Fenris!” she declared with a sniffle and a glare that seemed to say ‘you're so stupid’. Her declaration didn't come as a surprise to me. Penelope had been smitten since I first saw her with him, she was still smitten now. The problem was however I thought it might be a good idea for her to have felt the bond with someone else, someone other than Fenris.“How are you so sure?” “I am sure Arielle, I am sure. I don't want anyone else, I want Fenris” She folded her arms around her chest like a spoiled brat an
