THE ALPHA'S SECOND CHOICE
I
"You don't belong here. You never will"
In the thrilling aftermath of her family and first mate's gruesome murders at the hands of a notorious enemy pack, Xaviera is granted an extraordinary opportunity —a chance to rewrite fate with a second mate. However, this is no ordinary wolf. He is in fact, the enigmatic, fearless, ruthless and insanely gorgeous Ryker Conri Aragon, the formidable Alpha of the Cresent moon pack. But instead of relishing in her new beginning, she's met with Ryker's icy indifference.
Chaos however arises, overturning plans and when Xaviera's supposedly dead mate resurfaces, Ryker's icy facade thaws into desperate need for his destined mate and Luna. Torn asunder between conflicting choices, Xaviera must decide: will she return to the only person associated with her past, or will her fierce affection for a man who had spurned her keep her firmly tethered to the Crescent moon pack? The stakes are high as Xaviera navigates through a world of friendship, lust, love, betrayal, heartache and tough choices.

Chapter: 51: FOOL ME TWICE.XAVIERA Once bitten, twice shy. My ancestors would weep. Fool me once, you're a fool, fool me twice, I'm the fool. I had been a fool, twice. What was I thinking ? That he'd changed? Overnight? I was really a fool to even expect any change. That tricky bastard had made a fool of me twice. Making me delicate, wobbly, needy and cheap. I bet he was testing how easy it would be to take me to bed, and I had proved he didn't need to do much. All he had to do was stand before me, and I had acted like a starved whore. Damn you, Ryker! Damn you for confusing the hell out of me every single time. For a moment there, I was certain he wanted me. Heck! He'd even said it with his own mouth, in his own words that he wanted to kiss me. And the next minute… Go to bed. Like I was a little girl who wanted to do bad things. Who the hell did he think he was? The Alpha I don't give a fuck! I shouldn't give a fuck. I shouldn't want to kiss him. I shouldn't fantasize about kissing him, or ha

Chapter: CHAPTER 50: WHEN SPARKS FLYALPHA RYKER This will be tough. I might have forgotten how graciously gorgeous this woman was, but tonight was a shocking reminder. I found beautiful women on a daily basis; here at Crescent, or when I travelled for work, or vacation, however, Xaviera was a discovery. The way the dress clung to her body like an extension of her, perfect curve, lithe gait, beautiful eyes, proud nose and a sensual mouth, she was nothing ordinary. I had struggled with the thought of engaging her this evening, but reminding myself severally of what was at stake had helped me keep my raging hormones at bay. I paced the large space in my study like a schoolboy whose first girlfriend had decided to sneak out to meet for his first sex. She'd be here anytime, and I had to get my act together. What I feared more than mixing my words tonight, was pinning her against the closest horizontal surface, and doing sinful things to that enticing mouth and gorgeous body. My dick hardened at that thought.

Chapter: 49: HIS COLD WARMTH XAVIERA The ride to Crescent manor was quiet, and I could feel the tension humming just beneath the surface like a taut string. I watched as we drove through the busy streets, as everything blurred into my reality. I was moving in with Ryker! When I told Anna, she wasn't shocked. It was like she had expected it, and it was because she had insisted that I agreed. She said I would be safer there, and it was important that I learnt the ropes of leadership under Ryker's guidance. Adeline and Leesa were too excited for me. I didn't expect less. They had helped me pack, and had even slept over just to see me off. Me? I didn't know what to feel aside from the tension that nipped at my insides. Moving in with Ryker wasn't something I had envisioned, not even in the earliest days of the mate match, but fate didn't bother about timelines. As we drove through the mansion gates, my tension spiked. Calum and Felix had driven me, however we were followed by another Convoy Ryker hadsent t

Chapter: 48: MATES OVER DATESCADEN “What did she say?” I asked Ryker, dropping the paper I had been perusing earlier on the table before me. A picture of Ryker pulling Xaviera out of what looked like a ruckus graced the front page generously. He had effortlessly become a constant topic in the blogs this past week, and he had dragged Xaviera along. MATES OVER DATES: ALPHA RYKER MAKES HIS CHOICE. So he had told his girlfriend off, because she had tried to assault his mate. How chivalrous. But chivalry wasn't Ryker. This man avoided drama like a plague, but here he was, in the centre of it, and causing more series to unfold. “Her answer is what's happening downstairs,” he shrugged. The house was a hive when I walked in. Several cars were parked outside, bringing in and removing things. Designer dresses in trolleys rolled up and down. So, Xaviera was really moving in with him? Why did I expect her to put up a resistance? “When is she coming?” “Tomorrow,” he said. “That is kinda fast,” I commented.

Chapter: 47: THE REALER THE HOTTERXAVIERA I threw myself into work to keep my mind away from last night's hap. Someone had broken into my room. Anna believed it was some perverted Paparazzi and was genuinely worried. But somehow I knew it wasn't. And I knew Calum and Felix knew that too. They'd manned the door throughout the night, and Anna had slept in my bed because she was too disturbed to let me sleep alone. The thoughts of my nightmare, and the possibility that someone had been in my room while I slept successfully kept sleep far away. I had sent the girls a message immediately after I left for work. My shift would be over late afternoon, and coincidentally Leesa would be getting off work at the same time. Adeline worked at her father's firm, so she had it sorted out. Few minutes before my shift was over, Leesa and Adeline strolled in, each in their work clothes. The restaurant was almost empty, with the lunch rush long over, few persons hung inside, the rest stayed under the Canopy outside. “You're early” I

Chapter: 46: THE OTHER WOMAN ALPHA RYKER I read through the files and contracts my company had with several other businesses, then sent them to my lawyer with notes, edits and approvals for some. By the time I was done with my work, it was late afternoon. I decided to go for a little drive, get some air probably up the hills that led towards the other side of Crescent moon. I was to leave for Black Isle in two days, I just felt I needed to breathe more of my Pack's air before leaving. I grabbed the keys of my Audi R8 Spyder and strolled out of my study. When I entered the hallways, I decided to check on Reuben first before leaving. Earlier this morning, he had another attack, which hadn't happened for quite some time, and it took a lot of hands to calm him. The Salutris had said anymore attacks and he might not survive it. The room was slightly open when I got to it. Beside an unconscious Reuben, lay Rose curved in a little ball, her fingers intertwined with his. At a closer observation, their auras intertwi
