All Chapters of Second Chance At Love: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

Cassie.“Hey, I don’t know if you saw the text I left you,” I said into my phone, pacing the living room as the rays of morning sun filtered through the windows.Violet’s voice came through the speaker, soft but cheerful. “Yeah, I saw it. I’m down.”A relieved smile tugged at my lips. “Great! I’ll meet you at the café then. I have an errand to run first, but I won’t take long.”“Alright, see you there,” Violet replied.“See you soon.” I ended the call, feeling a little lighter as I tucked my phone into my pocket.The clatter of dishes pulled my attention toward the kitchen. Mirabel had arrived and began preparing breakfast. She glanced at me over her shoulder, a questioning look in her eyes.“What would you like for breakfast?” she asked with a raised brow.I shook my head. “Nothing for me, Mirabel. I’m heading out.”Her brows furrowed slightly, and for a moment, I thought she might press further. But instead, she hesitated, giving a small nod before turning back to the stove.I di

Cassie.Jake sat comfortably at the bar, his arm slung around the shoulder of a she-wolf, laughing at something either of them had said. The sight made my stomach twist, and when I turned to look at Violet, her expression mirrored mine—shocked and utterly speechless.“Maybe we came at a bad time,” I muttered under my breath, hoping to ease the tension that was beginning to coil around us.Violet, to my surprise, didn’t even flinch. Instead, a slow smile tugged at the corners of her lips, her eyes glinting with something I couldn’t quite decipher. “Why is this a bad time?” she asked, arching a perfectly sculpted brow in my direction.I stared at her, mouth agape, stunned by the confidence radiating off her. Before I could come up with an answer, Violet was already walking further into the bar, her heels clicking against the wooden floor with purpose.Jake’s laughter died the moment he spotted her approaching. His eyes widened in shock, and he quickly removed his arm from around the sh

Cassie.I woke up to an empty bed.For a moment, I lay there, staring at the ceiling, my mind foggy with sleep. I could have sworn Axel was here last night. The warmth of his presence had been undeniable, his steady breathing, the way his arm had draped over my waist. I hadn’t imagined it—had I?Shaking off the confusion, I stretched and climbed out of bed, padding over to the bathroom. As I brushed my teeth, I replayed last night in my mind, trying to make sense of it. But now… now I couldn’t stop thinking about how he’d made himself comfortable in my space, like he belonged there, something about how he’d been began sleeping in my room, on my bed, didn’t seem quite right to me.Once I’d showered and thrown on a pair of shorts and a tank top to match, I walked into the living room and found him there—like he always belonged, on the dining counter, a bowl of something in his hands, eating without a care in the world. I could hear Mirabel bustling around in the kitchen, humming softly

Cassie.As lectures went on, I couldn’t shake the unease that settled deep in my chest. The conversation I overheard earlier about thr massive dog-like creature lingering near the school premises gnawed at the back of my mind. I kept telling myself it was probably nothing, because humans liked to exaggerate, and I hadn’t heard anyone else mention it. Maybe it was just a stray someone mistook for something bigger. But still… something didn’t sit right with me.I had tried to focus on my lectures, jotting down notes mechanically but my thoughts remained elsewhere.Cy was just as restless, pacing at the edges of my consciousness with a low growl as though she could do something about the situation.“It’s probably nothing, right?” I asked her.“We shouldn’t ignore it,” she responded. “You know as well as I do that humans don’t just see things like that.” I nodded. She had a point.When the bell rang, signaling the end of the lecture, I gathered my things and stepped out into the crowded

Cassie.Lying on my bed, staring at the ceiling, I couldn’t shake the thoughts that circled in my head. Axel’s sudden insistence on training for me was unsettling. At first, I thought it was just another way for him to assert his control, a way to keep me in check now that I had grown a sharp tongue when it came to him. But something about the way he said it, the way his expression shifted to something far more serious, made me think otherwise.“…dangers that are coming,” he had said. I wanted to ask him what ge meant by that, but our conversation had been cut short when Warren showed up at the apartment, his face tight with urgency as he asked to speak with Axel in private. I hadn’t thought much of it at first because Warren always had something to say, given he was Axel’s Beta, he was constantly lurking around with pack matters. But as they were leaving the apartment, I heard them. Two words, barely audible, but they made my stomach churn. ‘Truman spell’ and ‘wolf.’That was al
