NORA

The pain woke me up before my alarm did.

This was duller and deeper and it sat right at the base of my abdomen where the scar from the section was still working through whatever it needed to work through.

I pressed my hand against it and lay back for a minute breathing steadily until it settled enough for me to sit up.

Daniel had asked me to come in that morning and I had said yes mostly because arguing with him felt like more effort than just going.

I got dressed slowly and made my way

  • Alpha Raphael's Second Chance Mate    Chapter 29

    SERENA I found out about the timeline on Tuesday.One of the pack members mentioned it casually at breakfast. At first I thought it was a joke or something to stir up emotions and chaos.It might be worse than that.The end of the month is twelve days away. I don't know why the council and elders are suddenly so invested in Raphael.I slowly put my cup down,excused myself and walked back to my room at a pace that even I couldn't understand.The moment the door closed behind me I leaned against the corner of the door,with different thought running through my head.Twelve days, that's not enough time for what I planned. The slow approach, careful placement and steady erosion of trust between Raphael and Nora required more than twelve days.I knew this was coming eventually. I assumed I had time before the council forced his hand.I wasn't expecting them to act quickly.With everything going on I think I need someone closer. That person might be Iris.Although, we have our own differ

  • Alpha Raphael's Second Chance Mate    Chapter 28

    RAPHAEL Elder Matthias doesn't waste time.He's already seated when I walk into the council room, three other elders are seated all around the table, their eyes viewing every part of me as I walk in.The atmosphere in the council room is a bit tense. I take a quick glass on each and everyone of them, before finally settling into my seat properly."Thank you for coming, Alpha," Matthias mutters, folding his hands on the table. His tone was quite different from before, more like, he's here for an urgent matter . "We'll keep this brief and short."He said , and I only nodded my head in acknowledgement.“The pack is in Chaos, things are falling apart. Questions are left unanswered and everyone, including myself and your mum is very confused" The other elders nodded in affirmations to his words .He paused for a little, glare at the elders and when he realized everyone is in sync with him, he said. “Your fated mate has been in this pack for the past months, you were supposed to choose a

  • Alpha Raphael's Second Chance Mate    Chapter 27

    RAPHAEL The message is on my desk when I walk in.Damon left it there without a word, which means he already read it and decided I needed to find it myself rather than hear it from him first. What a smart man. He's Irritating, but smart.I pick it up.Marcus. Formal header. Third meeting request. My eyes move down the page and land on the addressee line, and I go very stiff and tensed , the moment I check and saw the names on the it.It's not my name.It's Nora's.I read it again, slower this time, because I want to be absolutely certain I'm not misreading something. I'm not. Marcus sent this directly to her, he bypassed me completely, listed her title as pack representative, and signed it with his full name and seal.Pack representative.I put the paper down and stand there.Damon is near the window, hands in his pockets, watching me with that careful eyes he wears when he already knows the shape of what's coming and is giving me room to get there myself."Close the door," I t

  • Alpha Raphael's Second Chance Mate    Chapter 26

    NORA I wake up at two in the morning and the ceiling is just there staring back at me.I turn over,close my eyes again. Nothing happens. My mind is already filled with different thoughts and it's not stopping for sleep.I think about Marcus.I think about Raphael investigating my background without telling me.I think about Sera being too quiet and the way she speaks .I think about my son sleeping down the hall and the specific shade of his eyes.I get up after my eyes refuse to close on me.The corridor is dark and quiet. My feet are cold on the floor. I wrap my arms around myself and walk toward the kitchen because there is nothing else to do at two in the morning except make something warm and wait for my brain to tire itself out.I push the kitchen door open.Raphael is already there.He's standing at the counter with a cup in his hand, jacket off, sleeves pushed up. He looks up when I come in. Neither of us says anything for a second.Just two people who both thought they wer

  • Alpha Raphael's Second Chance Mate    Chapter 25

    RAPHAEL The pack is quiet. Everything seems quiet today.Most of the lights in the main building are off. The night staff are at their posts but the corridors are empty. I'm in my study room going through the latest report Damon left on my desk when the knock comes.It was soft and unhurried, almost like whoever is knocking has a lot of patience to wait. I already know who it is before I open the door.Serena stands in the doorway with a small smile and two cups of warm drink. Her hair is down. She's dressed casually and she looks comfortable and familiar and I bet she knows exactly how she looked. Hot. Sexy. Beautiful."You're still working," she says, stepping inside without being invited. "You always did this. Even years ago. Last one awake in the whole pack."I move back to my desk. "What do you need, Serena.""Nothing." She sets one of the cups on the corner of my desk and takes the chair across from it. "I just saw your light. Thought I'd check in."I look at the cup. Don

  • Alpha Raphael's Second Chance Mate    Chapter 24

    NORA Wren finds me in the small sitting room of the main corridor.She closes the door behind her and just stands there with her hands together in front of her and a look on her face that I don't see often.It's uncertain."I need to tell you something," she starts. "And I'm not sure I should. But I can't hold it back."She tells me, while still glaring at me in an uncertain manner. I put down the file I'm holding and give her my full attention.She pulls the chair across from me and sits on the edge of it. Leans forward a little and keeps her voice low even though nobody else is in the room."I overheard Raphael and Damon two nights ago," she says. "In the study room. The door wasn't fully closed."I wait for her to continue, at the mention of Alpha Rapheal's a Surges if adrenaline rushed through me ."He's been investigating your background." She watches my face when she says it. "Not in a bad way though. That's what I kept telling myself before I decided to come tell you. It's n
