Alpha's Second Choice Chapter 14- The Past
Disclaimer: Disturbing scene in the 'flash back' part. Please skip if you cannot read dark scenes. You have been warned!'Caleb? That silver haired royal general?', Jo asked in disbelief, wiping down the blanket with a cloth from the bed stand. She knew the tea stain was not going to come off easily. Sh.it'Yes, him. We just found out we were mates following an unfortunate incident last night. He accepted the bond and proposed to me. But I have decided to reject it', Lucy said, giving Jo some time to absorb the news. 'Lucy, mate bonds are so sacred for you, werewolves. I mean for 'us' werewolves', Jo nervously corrected herself. 'Why are you so intent on rejecting the bond?’.‘I know it is sacred for us Jo. But given my past accusations and everything, I don’t think I am on par with someone like Caleb’, Lucy replied, half-heartedly not revealing her full intention. She was doing this mainly to protect Jo from Jayden and his wrath. If she accepted Caleb and the truth came out, Jo was
Alpha's Second Choice Chapter 15- Justice served on a hot platter
It was day two of the royal visit in Dark Slayer Pack and so many things were happening too quickly. Jo needed some time to rewind and reflect. She did not remember what happened at the feast or how she woke up in her bed in the morning, clearly some one carried her there but who? She thought hard trying to remember from her jumbled and vague memory when it hit her. Sh.it. Dante! The memories of her crying and sobbing on Dante’s shoulders hit her like a bullet, she was embarrassed. How will she ever face the general seriously without being haunted from what she did last night?‘Jo!’, Lucy’s voice brought her back to earth. “You need to get ready quickly. Remember, we need to go check on General Dante and attend to his needs’. Jo groaned as she finally threw the tea stained cloth away and dragged herself off the bed. The last thing she wanted to do was face Dante. *‘Why are you hiding behind me?’, Lucy asked confused as they stood outside Dante’s guest room. ‘Oh no, I was just fix
Alpha's Second Choice Chapter 16- Emotions
It was total chaos in Dark Slayer Pack, the furious Alpha sent for the elders to be summoned from the holy Cathedral Shrine. It would take a couple of days for the elderlies to arrive however as the shrine was located very far away. Jayden would not hear it from anyone, not even the former Alpha. Dante was still locked in the dungeon where all the slaves were usually kept before they were paraded for the annual hunt. 'Son, let's not do things with a hot head. How about we release the general and have a proper civil conversation', the former Alpha tried talking some sense.'He will NOT be released. So, what if he is a general from the royal kingdom? Leo was not just the Gamma of this pack but also my childhood friend. So, with all due respect father, he will stay in that dungeon until I say otherwise', Jayden growled making the former Alpha take a few steps back. *'HAHAHA, so much for laying low', Caleb snickered at his friend who was behind the huge rusting bars. 'Why did you even l
Alpha's Second Choice Chapter 17- Run but don't hide
Day five of the royal visitDante had been in the dungeon for nearly three days now and Jo was worried sick for him. This was not like her at all, he was a complete stranger to her. And yet here she was, nervous about what the trial had in store for him. It was hard to admit but she had grown some respect for him when he stood up for the fairies. Leo’s death was extremely satisfying for her to watch, especially after horrible abuses the brute Gamma had inflicted on so many slaves. Jo tried to refocus her mind again. She had a bigger fish to fry. The two fairies had confessed to her that they were escapees from the fairy land and not really lost in the no-man’s border. Unfortunately for them, they were captured by Dark Slayers warriors before they could escape to the human civilisation. They really had a tough luck. Now Jo was making an escape plan for four people, and she had to make sure there were no mistakes. Because one mistake could cost their lives. Jayden was not really your s
Alpha's Second Choice Chapter 18- The trial
Jo watched Dante’s eye in amusement, his golden eyes were now completely engulfed by the silver rings. It was as if he was being controlled by someone else.‘Mate’, he whispered again as the word sent tingles down her spine. ‘Mate’, Jo mimicked him as she got lost in his silver swirls, they were very hypnotising and easy to get lost in. ‘I know’, he tenderly replied as he touched her face with the back of his hands, scared that he might hurt her delicate features. Jo did not even realise what was happening, she was not one of them after all. She had read about the mate bonds between the werewolves and used to think how lucky they were. After realising Jayden was her mate, she was even more surprised that mate bonds commonly existed between different species as well. But having seen the true face of her horrible mate, she knew it was not a blessing but a curse to have a mate and to experience the mate bond. You were destined to be with another soul you did not even know. Jo was glad
Alpha's Second Choice Chapter 19- The Runaway friends
‘This aura’, Lucy quizzically guessed as she stopped in the tracks and sniffed the air. ‘It feels different and so powerful’.‘Lucy, keep running! We don’t have time to spare’, Jo redirected her attention as she quickly apologised. Soon after Dante was taken away to the trial, Jo had recollected herself and gathered the girls. While there was a ruckus going in the trial ground, they ran to the east side of the pack. Stopping at nothing. The patrolling was heavily reduced to only two warriors at the post due to the ongoing trial. So, setting her plan in place, she made Lucy go and talk to the two warriors. ‘What do you want?’, one of them asked as Lucy approached.‘Um, I am a bit lost’.‘Lost?’, They snickered. ‘Lucy, we attended the same class in high school. You used to get full scores in everything including the forest hunts’, one of them spoke and then Lucy realised that the two warriors were her former classmates from high school. If she was not mistaken, the brown-haired guy
Alpha's Second Choice Chapter 20- To be or not to be
Watching her werewolf mate easily snap the demon’s head did nothing to her. How could she forget the dead look in his eyes when he rejected her. Not even hesitating a little bit. She refused to get swooned by his kind charms again, werewolves were all same towards the end. Most of them only wanted power and cared about ranks. Primal instincts at the best. However, she did shiver a little at the words of the second Aamon’s riddle. It might sound perplexing to a foreigner’s ears, but she already knew the answers. The darkness, the seek…. As soon as Dante was faced by the ordeal of the riddle and the self-sacrifice of the demon, he turned around, facing her once again.She gulped hard, forcing her body to stop reacting to those golden eyes of his. They were deceitful. At first, it lures you in with its golden ambience and silver swirls but the moment you think you could get lost in it, you realised its true intention. And they weren’t good ones. ‘I accept your rejection’, she bravely
Alpha's Second Choice Chapter 21- When in Rome, do as the Romans do
Dante sank into his large office chair as his eyes darted on the piling folders on the desk. It was going to take him days to go through all the cases and read them thoroughly. He called Caleb via mind link. ‘Yes boss’.‘Caleb, send all the royal healers to your pack immediately’, he told his right hand.‘Sure, but why?’, Caleb’s big mouth wanted to know everything as always.‘Just do it’, with that, he cut off the mind link. Caleb was the Alpha of Ice warrior pack and could easily keep the royal healers there for a couple of weeks. It was wrong to do this, but he wanted more time with Jo. Just the thought of parting and sending her off to the human settlements made him feel sick. As he opened the first case file, he took a deep breath in. It was time to get to work*Lucy yawned as she stretched her hands, the birds were chirping outside, and the sunrise was falling shyly in her room. It was a good-sized room considering that she was not really a special guest for the royal kingdom.
