All Chapters of The Alpha’s Second Mate: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

On my way back to my room, people standing around the hallway turn their faces away when I pass. It's almost like they don't want to be noticed by me.I'm guessing they must've heard the loud discussion between Harry and me. To think they would act somehow uplifted.When I get to my room, I notice that the door is unlocked. My eyes narrow into suspicious slits as I widen the already opened door and enter the room.I hear shuffling, and then I notice that it's only Sandra, standing in the middle of the room, dusting her dress. She must've been sitting on the bed before I walked in.I bet she thought it was some kind of crime to sit on the bed without my permission. There's a look of anticipation on her features.She probably wants to know how the talk with Harry turned out. I let out a heavy sigh before dropping down on the bed."There's no convincing the so-called alpha of yours." I tell her in a defeated tone, and she presses her eyelids together before opening them and looking at me

"I'd rather die!" I spit out my words, dripping venom.Sandra doesn't look in the slightest bit fazed by my attitude."You would, but you won't. He'd make other people die for your selfishness." Her tone is cold and detached, causing me to flinch at her sharp but true words.I hate how Harry always leaves me without any options. But that will change soon enough. If only I could just—"But Sandra, have you thought about it?" I change the topic, and I'm sure she understands what I mean because her features freeze for a while before they relax."Your bath, yes. Let's have you in the tub; I'll pick out your clothing." She chose to ignore what I said.How original.I'll get her to agree to my terms one of these days. I know I will.I have a long bath, mostly because I'm trying to delay having breakfast with the devil. Along the way, Sandra realizes what I'm doing, and she takes it upon herself to drain the bath water, forcing me to stand up and get ready for the day.I hate how I'm always

"Then you have to leave tonight!" I say to Sandra with urgency, and she gives me a baffled look."What? Why?" She asks in a croaked voice."The sooner, the better. I'll give you all the directions, and by tomorrow you'll be able to get to Oliver. I want Oliver to come here to the pack." She widens her eyes at the last statement."Yes. And I know just when. You've heard of the feast that Harry is throwing in my honor, right?" I ask her, and she nods her head."That'll be the perfect opportunity for Oliver to come to the pack." I quip, and she makes a click sound with her tongue as she puts on her thinking face."The place would be rowdy, and the guards would be occupied. It's a perfect, foolproof plan." I add."I understand." She says and I wear the largest smile."You said something about leaving tonight..."***I've never been this anxious in my entire life. After I gave Sandra directions to the human world and she left, I've been feeling so anxious.What if something happens? What i

ISLA"So, tell me," I say in a relaxed tone to Sandra, and she turns to me."Tell you what?" She tinges her brows."How did he look? How did he sound? Does he look well-fed? Did he meet you with anyone?" I ask all in one breath, and she just stares at me."What? Tell me..." I whine, pouting, and she huffs a sigh, rolling her eyes."Okayyy. He looked alright. He sounded worried, curious, angry, and annoyed, of course, and his voice was quite deep if I can recall properly.""Well fed might be a stretch. But he looked okay. I don't know how he was before, so I won't be able to make a comparison. But he's actually a sight for sore eyes." I smile as she speaks."You didn't tell me that his eyes brighten up whenever your name is mentioned." She bumps shoulders with me, and I blush."They do, don't they?" I say, totally love struck."I can tell that he really likes you. Loves you even. He said, and I quote, 'I'd do anything for Isla.’ Isn't that just romantic?" She teases me, and I giggle li

"What is going on here?" Harry's voice booms all over the area, and everyone disbands, going back to where they were before.Even the children are scared of Harry. Damn.I'm the only one still standing where I originally stood. Harry eyes me, and I narrow my eyes to slits as I stare right back at him.His eyes casually stroll to Simon, and the kid breaks a sweat as he immediately turns over his paper, hiding the drawing of Harry.Unfortunately, this makes Harry suspicious, as he starts strolling over to where I'm standing.Dang it!The kid has gone still, and the surrounding air becomes tense. I swear only a knife could cut through the increasing tension in the air.Once Harry gets to us, he crouches down to Simon's level."Good day, Alpha," the boy greets him in a cautious and frightened tone.Harry ignores the boy's greeting, and his eyes move to his paper. From this side, it's obvious there's something on the other side of the paper.Harry then turns back to the boy with an icy loo
