All Chapters of Her Second Chance Alpha: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

My heart is beating like a drum in my chest. So fast and so loud it's the only thing I hear while my legs hit the ground. I told Damon not to follow me as that would rise questions, but now, the closer I get to the fight, the more I regret not having him near me. I don't know how to fight, how to protect myself in wolf form. The quick bloodshed of an attack. The cracking of bones. The screams of the dying ones. I've only seen it once and I died for it.Just as I pass the last tree that separates me from the river, Nala whispers something and my body suddenly freezes. She took control over it and my breathing slows down, the muscles relax and contract while she gets used to them. That gives me time to look at the massacre in front of me. Not even the worst attacks from before compare to this. The blood is flowing into the river, giving the blue waters a terrifying shade of red. Bodies that seem half broken are gathered around the wolves that are still standing to fight, with claws and

"I won't have you training her, Axel. Mates go easy on each other, but rogues won't. Taking in consideration Rose's history with Caroline, she's the closest we can get to an actual enemy." The Alpha dismisses Axel's protests pretty fast and looks at me waiting for me to say something too. But I am as silent as a grave. I won't like training with Caroline, but the more I spend around her, the more I can keep an eye out for her family."You haven't trained until now. So we have to move fast. Since you're mates, people from other packs will take interest in you. You need to be prepared." Caroline seems annoyed as hell so I assume this entire thing wasn't her idea."I remember fighting pretty well yesterday. I certainly have less scratches than some of your warriors." A smile lingers on my lips as I wait for her reply."Don't be cocky! You got lucky, once.""I'm not cocky. I'm telling you I trained. Alone, since I couldn't do it with the pack. And sure, I may need to improve, but don't lo

#Caroline's perspective#After the training is over, I look over at Axel. He didn't have to say anything or act any differently. As always, I knew he had something on his mind. I always know. Before, it was his father being an asshole, but ever since his mother's death, it became deeper, more painful. Like a void in his chest.Sometimes, when the forest is quiet and we are on patrol, our eyes lock and for a brief second I can feel it too."Before you start ranting, I want to say something. You have the worst possible taste in women! What on earth were you thinking allowing Tania to pull you into the janitor closet?"Despite the sadness surrounding him, he laughs."I was bored and I wanted sex, my darling. And since my girlfriend won't do it with me, I will take it from someplace else."Girlfriend... My heart skips a beat when he says it now. And I hate it. When we agreed on this charade, I told myself a kiss or two for show won't mean anything. Sitting on his lap during the history cl

"I need you!" Axel whispers in between sharp breaths. "I want you!"My back hits the bed, bare as the shirt I was wearing was lost in the hallway, torn to pieces by the fire that was burning between us. Axel jumps on top of me, struggling to escape the prison of his clothes without taking his eyes off of me."Fuck it!" He shouts before ripping his shirt off with the claws that are now shinning in the dimly lit room. The pants get shreded too, falling in small pieces all around the floor. His eyes darken as he allows the animal inside to take control and his heartbeat gets calmer. He freezes for a second, a hunter holding his breath, waiting for me to make one move before he could devour."Axel!" I whisper, not wanting to stop even for a second.Because if I stopped, then the regret, the doubts, the cold harsh logic would was over me and the fire that is burning my chest would turn to ashes. And maybe that would be for the better. Maybe if I do that, I won't feel like shit tomorrow mor

"On our way now" I shoot Damon a message as we get into the car. Me, Axel and Caroline... the greatest trio of all time. I would actually laugh at the irony, if I wouldn't feel so god damn uncomfortable right now.Last evening, the Beta proposed Caroline joined us for the trip as she misses her older brother and our visit to the MoonWalk would be a perfect opportunity for them to see each other... and for her to spy on us so the Beta knows every detail of it. I wasn't surprised that he proposed it, as I already knew he was not happy the Alpha allowed us to go, but I didn't expect him to throw Caroline under the bus."You should have." Nala chimes in and the sudden voice in my head almost gives me a heart attack."Knock, Nala! Please!""On what, girl?"I sigh. Goddess knows I'll never get used to sharing my mind with someone else."He must have noticed how Caroline looks at Axel. How she's in pain when he holds my hand or smiles at me. Sending her was... unnecessarily cruel. He could h
