All Chapters of My Second Chance With The Alpha : Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

I stared at my quivering, blood-soaked hands.  I could faintly hear people talking around me, but I remained lost in my own world. A world full of illusions I had dreamt of.  I could picture myself in Marcus’ house, leaning into his embrace to leave soft kisses on his mouth. And then, I would pull away so I could look into his eyes when I speak. Yes, I wanted to capture the joy on his face for the rest of my life when I told him how much I loved him. The three magical words he was yearning to hear - I would finally confess them to him. I could only imagine how he would feel upon hearing it. I was sure that I would’ve made him the happiest then. I imagined that it would soon be followed by our union. He would take me to his bedroom where we would spend hours within each other’s arms, consummating our bond.

I felt his body still under mine but I was much too afraid to look up into his eyes. It wasn’t until his voice prompted me, “Look at me, Kiara.”    I slowly looked up at him, and I was taken aback to find his eyes moist. A frustrated look crossed his face upon the sight of me.    “Must you be so far away from me?” He said.    Realizing what he meant, I leaned in closer toward him. When I was merely inches away from him, his head caught me by my lips. Sinking into the familiar touch of his, I kissed him with all my heart. I wasn’t immune to the familiarity of his lips against mine, but kissing him now felt eerily different. Like I was finally letting him into the heart that had always belonged to him. I was no longer afraid of his intrusion into my life, rather

As I opened the door, Marcus’ gleaming face came into my vision. His infectious smile had spread to me too, making me grin like an idiot. “What got you smiling like that?” I said, “Are you still on drugs?” “You are my drug.” He said. “Cheesy.” I chuckled as I went toward him. I was glad I found him alone, as I could kiss him without inhibitions. I noticed that he was now able to wrap his arm around my body as I leaned toward him to kiss him. Not only that, he had even managed to pull me onto the mattress beside him so I could get closer to him. “Oh, careful.” I said, as I moved away from his wound. “What’s that?” He nodded towards my hand. “Asher gave this to me downstairs.” I said, handing him his wallet, “Said he found it in his lawn.” “Oh, that’s my wallet.” He said, opening it. “You look very cute in that picture.” He clasped it shut at once and looked at me with skepticism, “What did he have to say?” “He acted quite strange actually, as if he was enlightened.” I

As I watched the moving trees through the window glass, I couldn’t help but ignore the trepidations in my heart. My cold, clammy fingers were entwined with Marcus’ who was sleeping peacefully on my shoulder. After a week of his treatment and finishing up work in the school, I could imagine why he was so eager to go back to Windshire. To his home. We had started early in the morning before dawn, and the sun rays were now streaming through the tall trees. Since we were riding by car, Ethan thought it was best if we left in the early hours when there was little congestion on the road. He was right, since it had been a smooth journey so far. I wonder how long it would take to reach. I heaved a huge sigh, trying to calm my nerves, but it didn’t help. I was nervous. “Are you okay?” I heard him whisper in my ear, his head lifting off of me. I nodded, “Sorry.” He sat up straight, pulling an arm around my figure to pull me closer. I leaned into his embrace as he pecked my forehead.

I didn’t get out of the room the entire day, for I had no idea how I’d face them. I wasn’t even sure if Marcus was in the house. It wasn’t until someone knocked on the door that I realized it was already time for dinner.  “I’m not hungry,” I muttered, before closing the door again.  Few minutes elapsed before the door opened again. However, this time, it was the devil himself. With a plain face, he leaned against the door behind and crossed his arms.  “You’re not hungry?”  I shook my head, looking away from him.  “You haven't eaten anything since morning.”
