All Chapters of HER SECOND CHANCE MATE: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

LUCAS' POV “I've told you about my past, now it's your turn to return the favor." She said, and I chuckled.“We're going to get you fed first.“ Her cheeks blush as her stomach lets out another growl of hunger.When we get to the kitchen, she automatically moves to the stove, but I pick her off the ground and seat her on the island counter.“You're not cooking a thing in here.““You can cook?“ Her eyes shine with amusement, and I feel proud that I'm the reason she's laughing.“Yes. My parents didn't live in the pack house either. They wanted some privacy.““How come you were living in the pack house then?““My childhood home was practically a mansion. After they both died, it had become too big for just one person, so I moved into the packhouse after I became Alpha.““Did your mother teach you to cook?“I shook my head to get rid of the memories that came swirling at the question she asked. “She didn't exactly teach me to cook, but my earliest memories of her were in the kitchen. She

Third Person's POV“Do I have to go all the way over there?“ A young Kaden Silver, only son of the Alpha Earl Silver, asks.“Yes, you have to go.“ His father said sternly as he glared at him. Alpha Earl Silver was considering letting him stay until Celine, the only person his son could tolerate, got better, but it was important that his son honored the appointment.He had been skeptical of the whole arrangement, but it has to be done. “Explain to me again, father. Why do I have to go play nice with someone I've never met before?" Kaden was unsure what he was supposed to do with the son of Red Moon's Alpha. All his father had said was that he needed to strengthen both packs' bond because of the future. When his father had first told him, he had agreed because he thought he would get to spend more time with Celine, but now she had fallen sick.His father explained to him again. “Think about it, the faster you can get it over with, the faster you can come back to Celine.“ That seemed to

THIRD PERSON'S POV Alpha Kaden felt torn. He didn't know what to do. The minute he laid his eyes on Aria, he felt the urge to tear apart everyone who had hurt her one way or the other, even if that person was him.He had spoken to his mate about it. “It's weird. I felt the instinct to protect her. I never feel that way about anyone except you.“Celine wasn't sure how to feel about his feelings. She knew it was the absolute truth. Kaden didn't believe in sugarcoating things for anyone. He said it as he felt it.“Could it be because she had once saved your life?““Could be. I never got to thank her properly for it until now. This might be because I feel indebted to her.“Celine was glad he had worked out his feelings on time otherwise, it would keep him up all night, and she wasn't sure how she felt about him thinking about another woman all night. Everyone, including her, knew she was the only one for Kaden, but it would still be nice if he didn't feel protective over another woman.T

LUCAS' POVI've been glancing at the door since morning, ever since Aria and Brielle left for the guard's station. Honestly, if it were up to me, I would keep her in the pack house with me all day, but I know that wouldn't make her happy.I can see the way she glows when she's handling some situations she never thought she would handle. For instance, just last week she had to settle a fight between two women who were fighting over a fight their kids have.“Children are as innocent as they come. I bet that by the time you both get home, they're already playing together.“ She had solved their fight with just one sentence.Yesterday, I had been surprised when her guard reported to me that she had met with Elder Dickson and even managed to convince him to be open-minded about changing some pack laws. She was actually making my job easier, so if she thinks that going to visit guards is the next best thing, then I'll let her do it.“Are you expecting someone?““No. Why do you ask?““You've

THIRD PERSON'S POV Alpha Kane is having one of his nightmares. This time, it's a little bit tamer. It's the one where Lori was chasing him, and he thought he would find solace in Aria when she all but shut the door on him. As usual, he woke up in a cold sweat.“Where am I?“ He thinks to himself as he experiences a brief wave of panic before he remembers that he's in his room. He hurried over to the wet bar in the nearly empty pack house to knock down a few glasses of something he doesn't even recognize. It burns his throat, so he takes a wild guess that it's whisky.“Alpha Kane,” someone says to him. “Should I serve your dinner now?““Dinner?“ He wondered how long he had been sleeping for and when he even fell asleep.He turned around, and the face before him blurred and was replaced firstly by Aria's face, and then it morphed into Lori's look of pleasure as the faceless man pumped into her.Without thinking twice, he raised his hand and gave the elderly cook a slap. A slap that sent
