last update publish date: 2026-04-21 10:02:25

Angel's pov

Benjamin hadn't tried anything. That was enough for me to agree to take on the assignment.

He walked me through the rest of the villa — the office layout, the supply rooms, the schedule for Lily's sessions broken down by day. He delivered all of it in the flat tone of someone who had given the same briefing too many times to find it interesting anymore. I listened and took mental notes and didn't ask for anything to be repeated.

When we finished he took out his phone near the corrid

  • Alpha:No Second Chance   Chapter 30: Judge: "Withdraw from the competition."

    Ren's povKian was still looking at his phone when I came back into the office.The expression on his face was one I had not seen before in four years of working for him. Softer than his usual register. Something at the corners of his mouth that I would have called a smile on another man.He put the phone down when he heard me come in and the expression went away, but not quickly enough.I had spent three hours that afternoon tracking down the tactical suit. The supplier who carried competition grade didn't sell publicly. The connection I needed required two intermediaries and a favour I had been saving for something important. There were two suits in the right size in the entire region. I had moved fast and called in what I needed to call in and said nothing about any of it.All of that because Kian had seen a forum post, apparently within minutes of it going up.I set the file on his desk. He picked it up and was the Alpha of Scar Pack again — cold, precise, asking about the eastern

  • Alpha:No Second Chance   Chapter 29:Kian’s Tender Care

    Bastien's povLilian came the morning after Finn's allergy episode with an apology already shaped and ready.She was sorry about the chocolate. She hadn't known how serious his allergy was, hadn't understood the extent of it, would never have given him so much if she had. Her voice was soft and her eyes were appropriately troubled and she stood in the entrance of my study with her hands folded in a way that looked like contrition."Let me make it up to him," she said. "A camping trip. Fresh air, time together. It would help him forget the scare.""No," I said.She blinked. Then rearranged. "Then let me visit. Even for an afternoon. I'll cancel whatever I have — he shouldn't think I've disappeared." She held my gaze. "Please, Bastien."Something in the persistence of it moved me where the apology hadn't. I nodded.She smiled immediately.Finn heard her come in and ran from his room before she had cleared the entrance hall. He threw his arms around her waist and she crouched and laughed

  • Alpha:No Second Chance   Chapter 28: Refusing His Patronage

    Angel's povWhen I received a call from Bastien that Finn was seriously sick and that I was the only one who knew what medication he used, I didn’t even think twice. I arrived minutes later.I gave Finn his medication which had been carelessly stacked under a bed. By the time Finn’s breathing finally evened out, the sky outside the window had begun getting brighter.I knelt beside the bed, counting his breaths the way I had learned to do over the years, slowly and carefully. His small fingers curled unconsciously around my sleeve, a reflex born from countless nights like this.I had memorized his allergies, his reactions and his limits.Someone else clearly hadn’t.When Bastien stepped in, his presence felt intrusive, almost disruptive, like a stranger wandering into a space he had never bothered to understand.“How is he?” he questioned.I didn’t look at him. “ He’s fine.”“Finn is not supposed to eat chocolates, too much chocolate...and you know that.” “He said his allergies disapp

  • Alpha:No Second Chance   Chapter 27: Forced to Bow

    Bastien's povEight years. Eight years of meals together, of pack events, of mornings in the same house, and I had not known what she was capable of in a shifting match.I had watched her move through that clearing with the controlled precision of someone who had been trained at a level I hadn't accounted for, and the knowledge of it sat uncomfortably in my chest the whole drive back from the grounds.Not because she had beaten me — I had felt the match was genuinely even by the end, not the walkover it had looked like from outside — but because I had not known.Two months had passed since that day and I had not reached out to her once.I had taken a minor injury during a northern border patrol three days ago — nothing serious, a gash along my forearm from a fence line that had given way. I had cleaned it myself and not thought much about it.But sitting in the car with Adam on the way back from the territory meeting, my arm catching the light at the wrong angle, I thought about the w

  • Alpha:No Second Chance   Chapter 26: Does It Matter

    Angel's povThe fallen oak had taken out two course markers and a section of the boundary fence when it came down. I stood in the debris field and assessed the damage the way I had been trained to — fast, systematic, starting with what was still moving.Nothing was still moving. The tree had settled. The wolves who had scattered were regrouping at the edges. Lily was unhurt.Across the clearing, Bastien had taken a step toward me when the debris flew. I saw it. But Lilian's hand was on his arm before he reached the second step, holding him back, and he had stopped.He was still looking at me, his eyes filled with worry and something close to guilt — but he didn't move. Lilian's hand was on his arm, and he stayed where he was.I turned away from both of them.The clearing was still sorting itself out when Bastien came over."When did you learn to move like that," he said.I looked at him. "Does it matter?""Angel—""It's impressive," Lilian said pleasantly. "Though I do wonder — was th

  • Alpha:No Second Chance   Chapter 25: Instinct

    Kian's povBastien agreed to the match without hesitation, which surprised me less than the crowd's reaction to Angel issuing the challenge.The wolves around us had spent the last hour forming a picture of her — the Omega hire, the discarded mate, the woman Lilian had described as trading on male goodwill and fabricated credentials. They had filed her accordingly. Watching her step into the clearing and call out a Mystic Pack Alpha by name quietly dismantled that filing, and they didn't quite know what to do with the dismantling.Lily was practically vibrating beside me. I put a hand on her shoulder to keep her in one place.Angel shifted first.Her wolf was a deep grey, almost blue in the forest light, leaner than I remembered from the training yard but moving with the same quality — nothing wasted, nothing performed. She didn't charge. She circled, wide and unhurried, reading the ground, reading him, building a picture before she committed to anything.Bastien's wolf was larger. He

    Angel’s POVThe music slowed into something soft and I moved without thinking, letting the rhythm guide me. There was no audience now, no judging eyes or gossip. Just the empty dance floor and the stranger leaning calmly against the railing, watching with an expression I couldn’t decipher.For the

    Angel’s POVThe club was playing a bass tune when I arrived. It was a little bit crowded, filled with faces I didn’t recognize. The unfamiliarity of it made me feel at ease. For once, I wasn't surrounded with anyone who would judge me. I came here to unwind and temporarily forget my current situat
