~Marcus's Perspective~

I woke up to an unfamiliar lightness in my head, as if my thoughts were floating somewhere just beyond my reach. My limbs felt heavy as I sat up, squinting at the dim light streaming through my curtains. My room looked normal—everything in its place—but something was off.

I couldn’t remember falling asleep.

Rubbing my temples, I swung my legs over the edge of the bed and stood up, a wave of dizziness washing over me. The events of the previous day swirled in my head like a distant echo. Something gnawed at me, a faint memory tugging at the edges of my mind, but I couldn’t pin it down.

As I opened my bedroom door and stepped into the hallway, the scent of coffee and tension hit me. The house felt unusually quiet, except for the faint hum of voices coming from Lucas’s study.

I found him there, seated behind his desk, his face shadowed with a mix of frustration and weariness. The moment he saw me, his eyes narrowed, and his jaw tighte

  • Alpha Lucas’’s second chance    CHAPTER 57

    - 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

  • Alpha Lucas’’s second chance    CHAPTER 53

    First Person's Perspective: Alpha Lucas’s POVThe soft echoes of my footsteps filled the quiet hallway as I walked toward Miracle’s bedroom. My thoughts were heavy, weighed down by the events of the day. Laura’s sudden appearance had sent ripples through the pack, but none more so than through Miracle, the little girl who had only known her as a faint memory. I needed to see her, to make sure she was all right.As I neared her door, an uneasy sensation crept over me. The space outside her room was eerily empty. Where were the guards? I had assigned four—two in front of the door and two patrolling the hallway—specifically to ensure her safety. My instincts flared, sharp and unrelenting.“Marcus?” I called through the mind link, my voice laced with urgency. There was no response. My unease deepened. “Simone, report to Miracle’s room immediately,” I ordered, this time using a firmer tone.I pushed open the door, my heart pounding with a mixture of fear and frustration. Relief flooded thr

  • Alpha Lucas’’s second chance    CHAPTER 52

    - First Person's Perspective -Marcus's POVI stood frozen at the doorway, staring at the people I once considered family. The sight of Denise, no, scratch that, Enise, as I now understood, flanked by Lucian, Anna, and Diana, filled me with a surge of anger and betrayal.I had suspected that Denise was up to no good, but to see Lucian, Anna, and Diana in the same room with her, colluding, plotting... Traitors.I clenched my fists by my sides, my mind racing. I understood why Enise harbored resentment; she had been wronged, sure. But her personal vendetta didn't justify dragging the rest of us down into her chaos.I wouldn't stand by and let her destroy everything just to make herself feel whole.Lucian noticed me first. His smirk was sharp, his eyes glinting with something dark and calculating. Slowly, he stood, brushing imaginary dust off his shirt as he approached me."Well, well," he drawled, stopping just inches away. "Look who decided to drop by unannounced."Before I could react

  • Alpha Lucas’’s second chance    CHAPTER 51

    - First Person’s Perspective -Marcus’s POVI had been sitting in my chambers, poring over some ancient pack records, when the muffled sound of chaos drifted up through the walls. At first, I ignored it, thinking it was some petty dispute among the pack members. But as the noise grew louder, my instincts kicked in. I set the papers aside and moved swiftly to the window.What I saw made my blood boil.Laura? Was that Laura?She was back? How come I didn't know about thisI looked closer and then I saw it,my sister, my blood, was being dragged out of the pack house like a criminal. Her hair was disheveled, her eyes wide with humiliation as two enforcers roughly hauled her out. My fist clenched tightly at my side. How dare they? How dare Lucas allow this to happen? Is this how you treat someone whom you haven't seen in years? Someone you claim to love?I strode out of the room and down the stairs, my anger building with each step. By the time I reached the main hall, my heart was poundi

  • Alpha Lucas’’s second chance    CHAPTER 50

    - First Person's Perspective - Enise's POV My mind was a whirlwind of chaos, thoughts of Laura's audacity mingling with the fresh memory of Lucas's kiss.There was no time to dwell on that now, though. I had to focus. Laura's sudden reappearance had thrown a wrench into everything, and I needed answers – and solutions.The drive to Lucian's estate was uneventful, but the weight in my chest grew heavier with each passing mile. By the time I arrived, the sight of his sprawling mansion brought little comfort.I pushed the door open, my heels clicking sharply against the marble floor as I was led to the sitting room where Lucian, Anna, and Diana were already waiting.Lucian looked up from his seat, his expression unreadable. "You're late," he said, his voice calm but laced with underlying tension."What do you mean? Didn't I had a situation? You think it would be that easy to walk out of the house without questions asked?" I snapped, throwing myself into the chair opposite him. "Laura

  • Alpha Lucas’’s second chance    CHAPTER 49

    - *First Person’s Perspective* -~Enise~The sight of Laura made my blood boil. That woman had the audacity—the unmitigated gall—to walk back into this pack as if she owned it, acting like she was some paragon of grace and integrity. It sickened me to my core. My fists clenched involuntarily at my sides, and for a brief moment, the temptation to lash out at her was overwhelming. I wanted to hurt her. Badly. I wanted to make her feel every ounce of pain she had inflicted on me in the past.But I couldn’t. Not yet.I forced myself to take a deep breath, carefully erasing the scorn and recognition from my face. I couldn’t afford to let my emotions get the better of me. If I reacted impulsively, it could blow my entire cover. Laura wasn’t worth that—not yet, anyway.Instead, I plastered on a mask of curiosity and turned to Lucas. “Who is that?” I asked, keeping my tone light, almost innocent.His gaze darkened, his jaw tightening before he answered. “Her name’s Laura. My ex-wife. The one
