All Chapters of Alpha Xavier's Second Chance Mate: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Elena“Get up, you worthless mutt! How dare you refuse to mate with Alpha?” Derek, one of the warriors, snarled.I lay on the cold, filthy floor of the packhouse, my body screaming in pain from all the lashes from his dagger, all the wounds from numerous last times.“Bitch.” Taking too much pleasure in his work, he yanked me to my feet, his fingers digging into my arm with a bruising grip. “You think now you are special because you got your wolf?” I bit back a whimper, meeting his glare with a hollow gaze. Thirteen years of this. Thirteen years of pain so constant it had become a part of me. I was five when my parents abandoned me in a forest and the Bluemoon pack rescued me. They raised me with a promise of making me a warrior. But what they did was to make me their fucking slave.*We must survive. That’s all that matters now.* Sameera, my wolf, murmured weakly. Her voice, too, was weak. We had hoped that finding each other on my eighteenth birthday would bring us some solace, but t

ElenaAs Xavier pulled me out of the grand hall, the murmur of the guests faded behind us. The heavy doors closed behind us, leaving us in the quiet of the dimly lit corridor. Leaving my hand, he led me to the grand double staircase in the foyer, framed by gilded railings and dark walls. The black-gold marble floors mirrored the dramatic luxury while a huge chandelier cast a regal glow.His long legs helped him to climb those large stairs effortlessly quite sooner than me. But as soon as he stepped on the second floor, he stood there.When I got there, I almost ran back confronting a middle-aged woman with a stern expression on her face. Her silver hair was pulled back, and her eyes were a deeper shade of blue.*Ivana is her name. She is his mother.* Sameera piped up, confirming my worst fear.I swallowed my breath and instinctively moved closer to Xavier, half-hiding behind him. If he dragged me into this mess, he must explain it to them himself as well.“Where is Amara?” was the fi

ElenaAverting his gaze from the file, he looked up at me, his expression blank. “What did you say?” He arched his perfect-shaped, dark brows, amusement lurking in his ocean eyes.It was a terrible idea, a terrible idea to even think of challenging him. Even though I wished he hadn’t heard me, he did—he heard me. Yet, he asked that for his own amusement.I gulped the lump in my throat, my pulse racing. But I refused to show him my nervousness. “It’s nothing. I am just tired.” I paused, hoping to brush it off. “I should sleep.” I turned, aiming for the bed, praying I could just hide under the blanket.But I had barely taken a step before he stepped forward, blocking my path. “No.” He stated, his tone sharp. “We are not done here.”As I said nothing, he added, “You were asking about the heir,” he asserted, taking another step closer.His intense gaze made my movements stiff. My heart throbbed so fast I feared that it would burst out of its spot. “I was kidding.” I said, faking confidenc

Xavier's POV"Fine." Aveline scowled at me before turning to Elena. "I won't go far. Mindlink me if he bullies you."My sister had a knack for getting under my skin, and she knew it.After Elena gave her a convincing nod, Aveline stepped away from us. Now the only one left was Dmitri.I tilted my head toward him and he immediately understood. "I will be with her." He left saying that.Elena folded her arms and looked at me with defiance as if she was ready to bolt the moment I turned my back but decided to be patient.My wolf, Sam, growled in the back of my mind. "She is pissed or maybe a little sad?""Well, that's none of my concerns." I thought even though I knew exactly why she was sad. She saw Jade, her childhood sweetheart just moments before. What the hell did she even want with him? And why did I care?I remained silent for a few moments, my mind a whole mess of questions.How the fuck should I start?Finally, I cleared my throat. "There is something I need to tell you." I bega

Xavier’s POVI watched as Elena stormed out. The door slammed shut behind her, and I stood there, unmoved, staring at the spot she had just been. The silence was peaceful, reminding me of my old days.Then Sam, my wolf, broke the quiet in his usual irritating way.“She has got spirit, I will give her that,” he remarked, his voice smug. “You pushed her too far.”I grunted, folding the contract with deliberate calmness. “It’s the best this way.”Sam scoffed. “Oh, best? You added those damn tasks today. You thought you could deceive her because she couldn't read it that night. But you are forgetting one thing, Xavier.”I raised an eyebrow, my fingers tightening slightly around the papers. “And what’s that?”“You don’t scare her.” His tone was almost amused. “And that should terrify you.”I scowled, shoving the contract back into the drawer and locking it. “I am not scared of a stubborn little girl throwing a tantrum.”Sam’s voice was a low rumble now. “Then, why don’t you follow her and
