Losing her mate, or rather, thinking he was dead, was one thing. Getting forced to be a sex mate to a friend-enemy to save her son's throne was another. "What are you saying, Bernard?" I asked and received a soft chuckle from him. "I believe you heard me right, Victoria. Accept to be mine, and I will protect you and the throne of your son," he declared, offering an offer I couldn't reject. "But... I'm a married woman..." "You are no longer married, Victoria. Your mate and husband is dead. You, of all people, should know that," he cut in, while I gulped as tears welled in my eyes. "My offer won't stay for long. Remember, you have just an hour to accept before the meeting is held against your underage son," he said, reminding me of my fear. "I accept," I whispered, feeling my heart clenched with pain. "I accept to be yours," I whispered and tightly shut my eyes. After the happy ending of Victoria and Alpha Derick, everyone thought their lives would turn out as a bed of roses. However, tragedy struck when Alpha Derick was betrayed by his Beta, killed, and burnt to ashes. Victoria and Derick’s little boy was about to lose the throne to the same Beta who killed Alpha Derick, and the only person who could help her save it was her friend-enemy, Lord Bernard. But Lord Bernard wouldn't help without asking for a price in return, a price he thinks was snatched from him. That price happens to be Victoria. What happens when Victoria heeds his request to save her son's throne, and then the man who everyone thought was dead is actually alive and he's back to see so many things going wrong.

HIS SECOND MATE (BOOK 2) The secret
Alpha Derrick's POVI dismissed the men in the meeting room with me after we finally decided on what we were going to do about Tony, my damn beta.I shuffled through all the papers that I was having to sign. They had piled up over a while, and even though they were minor deals that I had to sign, I still had to go through them to make sure the terms of the contracts and deals were okay by me.I sighed and ran my hands through my hair. I was going to have to go through them later. I was really riled up from thinking about Tony and the shit he had done. He was the worst fucking person on the planet, and I was going to make him pay for all that he had done. I was going to make his life difficult.I left the meeting room and found my father standing by the door.“Father…” I called, wondering what was wrong and what was going on. The solemn expression on his face worsened my worries further, and I feared that something terrible had happened.Was it Victoria or Aiden?When he said nothing f
HIS SECOND MATE (BOOK 2) Why did you do it
Victoria's POVAfter I ended my conversation with Jane through the mind link, I sat in the car to think for a while. I needed some minutes to get my heart and mind together. I had heard a lot from both Lord Bernard and Jane. Lord Bernard wanted me to end things with Derrick so that I would be with him. That sounded very ridiculous because Derrick had been nothing but good to me.He had been the best. I felt incredibly guilty about what I had done and said behind his back. I felt like the worst person to walk on the earth's surface. The guilt of what I had done was weighing heavy on my chest, and it was making it greatly difficult to breathe. I opened my car door and started walking towards the house entrance. I was thinking about the things that Jane had told me, too. She was a great friend, but at this point, I was not sure if I wanted to listen to what she had told me. She asked me to tell Derrick what I had done with Lord Bernard, but I could not. She had also asked me to follow m
HIS SECOND MATE (BOOK 2) Follow your heart
Victoria’s POV“Please understand that I am married. What will people say if they find out about this? I want you to understand my point of view, please,” I pleaded with him, but Lord Bernard wasn’t moved, and neither was he ready to listen.“There is nothing to understand here. I want you, and that’s the only thing that matters to me. You should also try to understand my feelings. I can’t keep up with this secretly; I want to claim you in front of everyone. I want you to be mine, Victoria,” he ranted calmly, and I sighed, ruffling my head frustrated.“I shouldn’t have called him that day; I am stuck with him now,” I thought, closing my eyes and breathing hard.“Please, I beg you. We have a son together, and you expect me to treat his dad this way? He will hate me!” I pointed it out, and Lord Bernard scoffed.“We will make him understand everything that happened. You shouldn’t be thinking about it too much. We can even make our babies together, too,” he suggested, and I rolled my eyes
HIS SECOND MATE (BOOK 2) Can’t lose you either
VICTORIA’S POV“Are you insane? My husband is back, and this is all you have to say? Stop spilling out nonsense. What are we going to do now? I am doomed!” I ranted, ruffling my hair frustratingly, not knowing what to do. Bernard was not helping matters.“I don't know why you are stressing yourself out. You aren't going to be with him anymore. You are now mine, and that's what matters to me. I ain't going to let him take you away from me, not again,” he blabbed, and I blinked my eyes repeatedly, wondering if he knew what he was saying. Alpha Derrick is my mate, for crying out loud.“Stop this nonsense you are saying already. We are talking about my husband, my mate. It seems you've forgotten who he is; you know he can be dangerous, too…”“I give you two hours to come back, or do you want me to come meet you there? I will claim you in his presence. I have bottled my feelings in for too long. He can't just show up like that,” he thundered in anger, and I scoffed.“You are going crazy, B
HIS SECOND MATE (BOOK 2) Won’t lose you again
Victoria's POVI tried to look away from those questioning eyes of his, as the danger in them made me shook in fear. I tried to think of something that might be able to convince him that I was fine and nothing happened, but the more I kept quiet, the more suspicious I looked in front of him.“I told you before that nothing happened. Why is it that you don't want to believe me?” I said through gritted teeth, then walked up to him. I have to use this to convince him, else he will corner me.The look in his eyes hasn't changed one bit. He is still suspicious of me.“ I've said it more than 100 times since you arrived that nothing ever happened. I don't know what happened when you went to the dungeon, and now you are back, asking more questions. What exactly did Tony tell you?” I held his arms, trying to appear convincing to him.“I want you to know that anything he tells you is a lie. He's just trying to tear us apart, and you have to believe me!” I added.I tried to look away from him,
HIS SECOND MATE (BOOK 2) What’s she hiding
Alpha Derick's POVMy brow furrowed at the mention of her name. Slowly turning towards her, questions marks flew in my head.“Did something happen when I was away, my love?” I asked softly, noticing how tense and stiff her body was, causing me to frown more.“Tell me the truth,” I asked, and she shook her head, cupping my cheeks gently. Her soft hands rubbed gently on my face, and the rosy scents allured from her hands.“I do not know what stunt Tony is trying to pull right now, but I want you to know that I will never do anything to harm you. He is trying to break us apart, and if he succeeds, what I've been scared of will happen,” she said softly. Her hands kept on rubbing my cheeks, but I noticed how teary her eyes were, filled with so much sadness that I felt guilty for thinking she did something wrong.“I'm sorry, darling,” I muttered, kissing her hands gently.“Tony is trying to use my name to seek your forgiveness. I still can't believe he would stoop to this level. He doesn't
HIS SECOND MATE (BOOK 2) Secret
Victoria's POVMy heart raced in my chest as I saw him holding the bouquet of roses that Bernard gave me, and to make matters worse, he was about to read the love letter Bernard had written. Quickly, I ran to him and snatched the bouquet of flowers from him. I could see he looked a bit confused at my behavior.“You can't read it, Derick; it belongs to Jane,” I lied, and Derick furrowed his brow. “Jane's,” he asked, and I nodded, making sure to hide any uneasiness in me. “Yes, she is having issues with her mate, and he gave this to her, but she refused to accept it and wanted to throw it away, so I took it from her and decided to keep it with me until her mind is calm,” I lied, hoping my lies were convincing enough.Derick looked confused at my words, but he nodded his head and walked out of the closet. A sigh left my lips, and quickly, I went for the paper and began tearing it. After tearing it, I hid it in my bag because I couldn't throw it in the waste bin. “Joke's on you to actuall
HIS SECOND MATE (BOOK 2) Something seem odd
Alpha Derick’s POV“We are so happy, Alpha. It feels like a dream,” they all said with smiles playing on their faces, but that couldn't be said for me. “I heard some of you wanted to give my throne to Tony, is that right?” I asked with anger, and everyone shook their heads. “It's not me, Alpha. I wasn't among them,” they all denied, and I scoffed. “Don't worry, I will find you all out,” I said and got up on my feet. “It's late already, and I need to rest, so goodnight,” I told them and walked away.The thought of some of my gamma supporting Tony angered me, and I will make sure those people pay for it. As I walked back into the sitting room, my head of security approached me. “Tony has been imprisoned, Alpha,” he said, and I hummed, turning to him. “Tell the town crier to make an announcement that I'm alive and back. Tell my people that their Alpha is back,” I said to him, and he nodded and was about to go, but I called him back.“I have a question,” I said, and he nodded, gesturing f
HIS SECOND MATE (BOOK 2) In trouble
Victoria's POVI could see the questions in his eyes as he stared at me. He must have noticed the way I was acting strangely, and I knew I had to do something about it.“Is there something wrong ?” He asked, but I shook my head. “I'm just yet to believe that this is really you. It feels like I'm kissing a ghost, and I would just wake up, and all this will be a dream,” I said, and he smiled and then cupped my face with his both hands. “This is me, my love. I'm not going anywhere,” he said, and I beamed.“Mine,” my wolf howled loudly in my head, and I smiled. The truth was that I was so shocked and at the same time happy to see that my Derick was alive. But I was scared, scared of him finding out what I had with Bernard. I wondered what he would do if he got to know that I had been sleeping with Bernard. “Well, that is your cross to bear,” my wolf spat, and I sighed within me.“Something is really bothering you. Can you tell me what it is? It seems like you are not happy to see me,” he
