First Person's Perspective

~ Enise~

After Marcus's confrontation, I felt as though I couldn’t breathe properly until I locked myself in my bedroom. His words played on a loop in my mind. The way he looked at me—like he could see straight through my facade—was unnerving. The contempt in his voice, the subtle threat beneath his calm exterior, all of it told me one thing: Marcus was dangerous. He might not have proof yet, but he was too close for comfort.

The hours dragged on, and I couldn’t bring myself to sleep. I lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling, trying to calm the storm of anxiety swirling inside me. My thoughts were interrupted by a knock on the door.

"Denise?" Lucas’s voice was soft, almost hesitant.

I considered ignoring him, pretending to be asleep, but the second knock was firmer, more insistent. Reluctantly, I got up and opened the door. He stood there, looking far more troubled than I’d ever seen him.

"How are you?" he asked, stepping inside before I could reply. His ey

  • Alpha Lucas’’s second chance    CHAPTER 63

    - First Person's Perspective -Enise’s POVI was still lying in bed, trying to force all the gills running in my head to stop, when Lucas returned to my room, his expression serious but not grim. He stood in the doorway for a moment, watching me with an intensity that made my skin prickle. What was it this time? After waiting for what felt like an eternity, Finally, he spoke.“I’ve been thinking about Laura,” he began, his voice low but firm as he crossed the room to sit beside me on the bed.I raised an eyebrow, waiting for him to elaborate.“I’m sorting her out,” he continued, rubbing the back of his neck. “Once the pack’s crisis is handled and I’ve dealt with the Alpha King’s judgment, I’m planning to ban her from the pack.”The corner of my lips twitched upward. “Well, it’s about time. Laura is like a splinter—small but irritating as hell. If she stays, she’s going to be a pain in both of our asses.”Lucas chuckled softly, though his eyes still held a shadow of worry. “I just nee

  • Alpha Lucas’’s second chance    CHAPTER 62

    - First Person's Perspective -Enise’s POVBack in my bedroom, the quiet pressed in around me like a heavy blanket. I sat on the edge of the bed, staring at nothing in particular, my thoughts looping back to my conversation with Miracle.She loved Laura—loved her so much that it was almost unbearable to witness. And as much as I hated to admit it, a small, selfish part of me wished she didn’t. I wished she resented Laura, hated her for abandoning her. It would have made it easier for me to step into that space, to fill the void, to come closer and make her love as much as she should But she was only a child. She didn’t deserve the weight of that kind of hatred. The best I could do was be there for her, show her care and love, and hope that over time, she might begin to see me as something close to a mother. I would shower her with all the love and care in me that she forgets about Laura completely and then when the time comes, I'll reveal the truth of everything to her. ButStill, th

    - First Person's Perspective -Enise’s POVI laid in bed after Lucas left, staring at the ceiling as sleep evaded me. My mind replayed the evening's chaos with Laura, the tension between us lingering like an unshakable fog. When I finally drifted off, it was restless and shallow, and I woke up the next morning with an ache in my chest I couldn’t explain.The first thing I did was head to Miracle’s room. The little girl had been through so much, and I needed to ensure she was doing okay—not just physically, but emotionally too.When I stepped inside, she was sitting on her bed, her small frame bundled in a blanket, staring out the window. Her blonde curls caught the sunlight, and for a moment, she looked ethereal, almost untouchable.“Good morning, sweetheart,” I said softly, pulling a chair closer to her bed.She turned to look at me, her big blue eyes duller than usual. “Morning,” she whispered.I reached for her hand, my heart sinking at how limp her fingers felt in mine. I performe

  • Alpha Lucas’’s second chance    CHAPTER 60

    - First Person's Perspective -Enise’s POVThe moment I raised the ring to her sight, I saw it—the flicker of shock that danced across Laura’s face before she tried to mask it with disdain. Her wide eyes betrayed her true feelings. She couldn’t stomach the sight of it. I didn’t blame her; she probably never imagined Lucas would move on, much less propose to someone else.But instead of backing off, Laura did what I should’ve expected from someone like her—she charged toward me, her heels clicking furiously against the pavement.“Oh, no, not today,” I muttered under my breath, diving back into my car and locking the doors before she could reach me.I watched as she slapped her palms against the window, glaring at me like a deranged lunatic. There was no way I was getting into a physical altercation with this woman. For what? For Lucas? That man who couldn’t even figure out the truth if it slapped him in the face? No, I had more integrity than that.I stayed in the car, gripping the ste

  • Alpha Lucas’’s second chance    CHAPTER 59

    - First Person's Perspective -Enise’s POVLucas had been calling my phone relentlessly, his name flashing on the screen like a warning beacon. I ignored every single call, at least until I left Lucian’s house. By the time I finally made my way back to the pack, the clock was nearing midnight, and the chill of the night air seeped through my jacket.As I drove along the quiet, moonlit roads, an unsettling feeling began to creep up my spine. It felt as though someone was following me.At first, I brushed it off as paranoia. Marcus had once tracked down Lucian's hideout before, and ever since then, I had been on edge. Perhaps the wine I had sipped earlier was playing tricks on my mind, or maybe it was just the lingering guilt of the lies piling up around me.Still, the sensation refused to fade. Every few minutes, I glanced in my rearview mirror, expecting to see a car trailing me. Yet, nothing stood out—just the occasional headlights of strangers driving to their destinations.“Get a g

  • Alpha Lucas’’s second chance    CHAPTER 58

    - First Person's Perspective -Enise’s POVLucian’s behavior puzzled me. He was usually so calculated, so meticulous, and yet his reaction to my engagement had been anything but level headed. I had always assumed our relationship was purely platonic, an alliance born out of mutual goals and shared pain. There were no strings, no expectations, and certainly no feelings. Or at least, that’s what I thought.But his anger told a different story.I had assured him that my actions with Lucas were all part of the act, a means to an end. I had done everything to convince him that I had no lingering feelings for Lucas. Yet, it seemed my assurances had fallen on deaf ears. The look in his eyes still lingered in my mind—doubt mixed with something I didn’t want to name.It didn’t matter now. I had played my part, and I intended to see this through to the end. Marriage was never going to happen between Lucas and me, not when the world around us was already unraveling. With the Alpha King breathing

    - First Person's Perspective -~Third Person's Perspective ~He slammed his palm against the desk, the frustration in his chest threatening to boil over. This wasn’t how things were supposed to go. How could Enise accept Lucas’s proposal? That was the most absurd thing everPacing back and forth in his room, he bit down on his knuckles, trying to make sense of her actions. The plan had been so straightforward. They were at the final stage—Lucas was supposed to trust Enise completely, and when the time came, she would rip everything away from him. No hesitations. No complications. But now this?Lucian’s mind raced, the betrayal cutting deeper than he cared to admit. What was she playing at? Was she really starting to care for Lucas? He didn't see the need for this. They had come to the end of their plan for fuck's sake. Why did she have to go and do this? Words could not describe the anger in his heart, the knot in his belly. He was beyond pissed. All he wanted to do at the moment was

  • Alpha Lucas’’s second chance    CHAPTER 56

    - First Person's Perspective -~Enise's POV~Lucas rose to his full height, his eyes glistening with excitement. Before I could react, he swept me off my feet, his arms holding me securely as he spun us around in a jubilant whirl. His laughter filled the air, a rich and genuine sound that caught me off guard. For a moment, the room seemed brighter, as though his happiness had the power to illuminate even the darkest corners. I have no idea why I kept being surprised time and time again whenever he expressed genuine happiness and care towards me. I guess that is something being betrayed will do to you. I found it really hard to believe any words about feelings that came out of his mouth. I have made myself believe that this man was not capable of loving someone “You’ve made me the happiest man alive!” he declared, his voice ringing with emotion as he finally set me back down on my feet.I blinked up at him, my heart pounding—not with joy, but with guilt. This was the feeling I hated t

  • Alpha Lucas’’s second chance    CHAPTER 55

    - First Person's Perspective -~Enise's POV~I had been standing outside Lucas’s study, barely breathing as I pressed my ear against the door. His muffled voice carried through the thick wood, sharp with irritation. I had to stifle a sigh of relief when the conversation ended, and Marcus left without gaining any ground.Marcus was more perceptive, more stronger than I had given him credit for. That memory wipe Diana performed on him wasn’t perfect; it was already unraveling. He remembered something, and if he kept pushing, the whole plan could fall apart.The memory of that night at Lucian’s house surfaced in my mind.Lucian had been furious, his usual cold demeanor melting into uncharacteristic rage. Marcus had been unconscious on the floor, and I had panicked, assuming Diana had done something extreme.“Diana, what the hell have you done?” I had whispered harshly, my hands trembling.She had waved me off with an infuriatingly calm smile. “Relax, Enise. I didn’t kill him. I simply ga
