All Chapters of My Second Chance With The Alpha : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

He gave me a puzzled look, but nonetheless, patted the seat beside him on the couch. As I settled down on it, I folded my legs under my thighs and turned to face him completely.  “I don’t know what we are.” I blurted out.  He stared at me in surprise, trying to gasp what I meant.  “Marcus,” I said, impatiently, “What am I to you?”  A knot formed between his brows, “Where is this coming from?”  “I meant to talk to you about this earlier, but I haven’t had the chance. And the thought has been haunting me for so long.” I said, “I don’t understand what I

Marcus’ POV It was a chilly afternoon here in Ingram. The confines of my office room were inducing suffocation, so I decided to step out for a walk. While the issue with Kiara was still on my mind, there were other things of grave importance that needed my attention. The main issue for me at hand was the rising tension in parough. Ironically enough, I’d taken a break from my duties and came here, however, my absence there was causing me more mental stress than if i had been there to take care of things myself. It was perhaps why my dad always said once you’re the Alpha, nobody else can take care of your job for you. While you have several men who can potentially cover for you, but under the lack of leadership, an army of lions can be tamed down to an army of dogs. A pang of regret cruised through me at the realization, wondering if things would have been different had I not come here. But, upon further thought, I realized that nobody could have foreseen the attack from the Lycans.

Marcus’ POV Natalie had clutched her head by the time I finished narrating the entire story to her. She hadn’t failed to express her surprise when I told her that Kiara’s mate was Asher, none other than Darren Smith’s son.  “Alpha Darren’s son?” She said, “Wow. That is one messed up story, Marcus.”  “Told you.”  “I mean, I can’t believe your stay here has been so eventful. I thought you’d be dying of boredom here.”  My lips thinned in response, but I managed to look away before she could see the hurt in my eyes. Unlike her, I couldn’t find the situation comical at

Kiara’s POV  Marcus' eyes first landed on the woman beside me before he found me. Astonishment poured from his eyes at the sight of me, and then, his eyes slowly traveled down my body to access my state. When he seemed to realize what happened, his jaw tightened. Muscles propped along the side of his face as he grinded his teeth together, evident anger etched on his face. With a murderous glare, he looked at the man in front of me.  Without saying another word, he came to stand in front of me, guarding me from him. Before he could react, Marcus blew a punch on his face. Hands flew to my mouth in surprise as I saw him grabbing his nose in distraught. He was bleeding.  “You will stay the fuck away from her, get that?”  

Kiara’s POV  As I was nearing the day, exhaustion was slowly taking over me. We had history class in the end, and I struggled to keep my eyes peeled apart all through the hour. When my classes for the day were finally complete, I leaped from my seat to hurry back home as soon as I could. There was nothing I desired more than the comfort of my bed and the relaxing sleep it would offer.  I had barely caught any sleep last night after coming back home at 2 am. Anna had just returned to our room then, so when she saw my state, she was taken by surprise and demanded to know what happened. By the time I finished narrating the events that occurred at her workplace, the night broke into the dawn. I had expressed how sorry I was for not having been of much help to her at her work place, but she assured me that it didn’t matter. Her employer w
