2025-05-24 23:37:13I laid on the bed in the room they had locked me in, having me strapped to the bed like some criminal. I was tired and exhausted, I no longer had the strength to fight back or scream and wail. I stared at the ceilings, feeling utterly dejected, like a total stranger in my mind.
What was I supposed to do now that Kieran was taken away from me, and now, Kayden too? His face haunted me. Like a dream I did not wish to wake up from. His smiles echoed in my mind, his words rang through my very consciousness and a piece of him still lingered around me through the bond.
It was there, vibrant and very much alive but the one who placed this bond on me was gone. Leaving me to face the aftermath of the harsh truth that I was never going to see him ever again.
The door slowly pushed open and surprisingly, Kieran walked in with a tray of food and sullen look on his face. A scowl etched itself on my countenance and I turned away from him, hearing him drop the food on the table.
“Why are you here? To laugh at me? To see how far you've ruined my life?”
He groaned, a small growl rumbled through his chest and the bed dipped from his weight when he sat beside me.
“I swear it, I already feel miserable. So, don't make it hard on me than it already is.”
I cackled hysterically, rolling my eyes at him in scorn. My gaze darted to the cuffs that held my hands together and the shackles that kept me strapped to the metal bars of the bed.
“Miserable? You feel miserable? Kieran? huh? Do you even know what miserable is?! Misery is walking in on your mate and sister, fucking! Misery is having to forcefully break your bond with your mate in front of your family because they wanted it! Misery is having your supposed mate that was forced unto you, killed for no reason.”
I sighed, pressing my head against the pillow. “You don't know what misery is, Kieran. You think you do, but you don't.”
Clenching his fist, he suddenly roared out with a voice that only annoyed me the more. I didn't need to hear any word from him. All I wanted was to be left alone, to mourn my mate in peace.
“I'm sorry I hurt you, but you don't understand, Renna! I had no choice! You think I wanted any of these? To hurt you?”
“Everyone has a choice, Kieran! Everyone does, so don't try to make this look like you did not have a choice because you did, and you chose what you felt was going to be beneficial to you." I scoffed. "So tell me, why the heck are you even here? To take my blood? Did Leia ask you to do it yourself? Is that it? You're here to please your little new mate?”
I could hear the sarcasm dripping from my voice and the coldness in them too. When he hesitated, I realized that I was right. Kieran wasn't sorry, it was just him trying to rid his conscience of the guilt that he felt towards me. He was an total asshole till the very end.
“You know I have to," he sighed. "Leia needs your blood to live.”
When he tried to reach for my wrist, to pull up the sleeves of my dress, I ducked, scampering away from him as far as the chains would let me but he came after me again.
“Get away from me, Kieran!”
“I'm sorry, but I have to do this, so hold still.”
While we continued to struggle, the door to the room suddenly jerked open and father walked in. His gaze scrutinizing Kieran and I when he headed in my direction.
“You were asked to take her blood. Why is it taking so long?”
He averted his gaze from me, jolting to his feet and moving away from me when father neared. He leaned down to look at me.
“I don't think he can, father. Why don't you do it yourself?” I asked, extending my wrists to him. I could see the hesitation in his eyes but he grabbed my hands abruptly, rolling my sleeves back, a gasp left his lips when he spotted the scars on my arms.
“Renna,” he muttered my name.
“What is it, father? Can't do it?” I taunted snidely, arching a brow when he shifted away from me.
He stuttered, muttering strings of incoherent words, “This is something Kieran should do, and not me. So, get on with it, boy.”
Kieran nodded, walking to my side. Pulling out a small dagger, he picked the vial that rested on the table.
“Why do you hate me father?" I muttered dejectedly. "I'm your flesh and blood too. So why?! Why do you treat me like I'm nothing? You loved my mother too, did you not? Tell me, father. Have you ever loved me as a child?”
Father remained silent and his pause hung endlessly. His shoulders sagged but Kieran spoke instead, his lips turning in a grim line.
“You know he's the Pack's Alpha, and has to make sacrifices for the pack. This is a necessary sacrifice for the pack's safety and you know it. We all appreciate your efforts, so know that you're doing this for the greater good, Renna. The whole pack will remember you for this and they'll forever be grateful to you.”
I scoffed. The pack? Grateful? Why did I have to be their sacrificial lamb? Why did my life and happiness have to be traded for their greater good? It was already obvious that father felt no love towards me. I was a fool to think either of them felt anything at all.
There was nothing left for me now than a bleak future and a life of pain and dejection. I didn't matter. All that mattered was my blood and they were going to milk me of every last blood in my veins.
Kieran, that bastard got to work as fast as he could, slitting my wrist. I winced, then he took my blood into the vial, wasting no time. When they were finally satisfied, they nodded to each other in satisfaction, walking out of the room and leaving me to myself. A tear slid down my face one last time.

After she’d showered, she changed into another flimsy nighties , falling asleep almost immediately.I couldn't tell what time it was, but she stared. Renna let out a gasp when her eyes fluttered open. I didn't want her body away from mine yet, and I didn't want to alert her by waking up. So I pulled her closer towards me.She tried to wiggle free from my hold and I let her. Watching as she walked over to the bathroom, brushing and getting ready for the morning. I heard her coming back in, and pretended to be asleep. I couldn't tell if last night was a mistake, or if she wanted to remember what I'd made her feel.She creeped back in too, trying to quietly go back into bed and pretend she'd been sleeping too but she laid facing me to get a good look at my face, then I spoke,"Do you like what you see?""Huh?" She muttered. Startled by my question."You don't need to pretend to be asleep, L
The Alpha's Second-chance Mate Chapter 39
Kayden’s POVMy Sentinels had informed me of Amari’s decisions to take Renna out to the club. I had no idea why Amari kept flouting my orders. Fuck. The mere thoughts of my female in the midst of a thousand men staring t her while she was already showing hints of being in heat only infuriated me the more.My wolf wwnted nothing more than to rip their fucking heads off, but it took every ounce of control in me to hold him back. Not when we couldn’t go around killing random males until we were sure they’d stared at her. Cancelling my meeting with Raine, I made my way to the club. Taking Renna out as fast as I could.For some reason, Rowan was awfully quiet as we made our way back home. Right after I'd asked her if she was willing to choose me, or her family. Once we got back to the pack, she followed behind me, back to our room. She took a shower, changed into some flimsy silk nighties, and fidgeted where she stood.I arched a brow, scooting over to a side when I undid the knots of the

Renna’s POVKayden led me out of the club to where a Cadillac escalade was parked outside. The ride was quite fancy but I wondered why we were leaving without the others. Hurriedly opening the door for me before turning over to the other side, while hopped in too but I refuse to go with him that easily.I’d nearly died from anticipation, at the mere gesture of him holding my hands and pulling me out of the club but I was not ready to leave without an explanation. Settling himself in the car, he wore a surprisingly calm expression on his face when he pulled out his phone and tapped at it. "Were are we going to?" I asked. "Back home," he replied candidly.So, he'd take me back home without Amari?! She came here for me! Was I just supposed to abandon her and leave without informing her?! No. I wasn't going to leave without her.He growled out a command, “Get in the car, Renna.""I'm not leaving without Amari,” I responded defiantly but he stepped out of the car, picking me off the flo

Renna’s POVA gasp parted my lips and my eyes fluttered open when a knock echoed outside the room. I turned on my back, stretching like a cat.I’d let Kayden kiss me!Hell, I let him touch me, and I couldn’t deny that I loved every bit of it. Anger and annoyance surged through me as a reminder of the hate that I should have had for him, but no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t hate Kayden.Not when he was my mate, and the mate bond was playing tricks on me. I pressed my thighs together when my wolf preened her neck, her voice filling my mind.“Is that the Alpha?!”I groaned, “I don’t know if it’s the Alpha or not.”I climbed down the bed, shrugging the door open to meet an excited Amari outside the door. She squealed happily as she held on to bag. “Luna,” she waved.“Amari,” I muttered“I hope you’ve been doing good?” She asked. “I know it’s hard for you. Being in the Silverpack, restrained and all. To be honest, I’m sure the Alpha knows that too.”Silverpack? So that was the pack
The Alpha's Second-chance Mate Chapter 36
Kayden's POVMy uncle stared at me with a nonchalant look on his face. It probably didn't matter to him. how I'd get Raine to the summit. As uh as I wanted nothing to do with him and the Council, I still couldn't ignore the fact that allying myself with him could also come at an advantage. He chugged down the contents in his flask, his gaze shifting to his wolf's when he lifted to his feet, adjusting the buttons on his suit when he spoke."I don't fucking care how you do it, son. Have her at the Summit, and I might just put in good words for you at the Council. I know you're hot-headed, but t the same time, you also know how things work around here. You might have refused my help years ago, and had gotten yourself into this mess, but I'm certain that you know when to yield, and accept help.""If I agree to this," I began, letting out a sigh when i tilted my head to a side to properly look at him from where he stood. "I do this because I want to. Not because you're trying to make me. T
The Alpha's Second-chance Mate Chapter 35
Kayden’s POVMagnus stared at me like I was out of my fucking mind. But it didn’t matter if he thought I was crazy or not. Renna was mine, and there was no way in hell I was ever going to let her go back there.“Are you sure about this, son?” He asked with an horrified look on his face as he asked. I couldn’t tell which he found more shocking; the fact that I’d taken Renna away from her pack, or the fact that I was ready to wager my life to keep her as mine.“I’m darned sure, uncle.” I met his glare with a growl, “You didn’t think I’d have her with me if she meant nothing to me, did you? Yes, I crave to make Donovan suffer, but she has nothing to do with that, neither do I intend to use her to get back at him.” “You do know that you’re about to start a war. Don’t you?” He grimaced. “The Crimson Moon pack might be small, but they’ve got allies up North. How would you protect your pack if he brings this to the Council? or decides to get support from them? Did you ever think that you’d
