last update ปรับปรุงล่าสุด: 2024-12-26 00:00:00

Sera’s POV

The more I’d loved Dylan, the more his betrayal had hurt me. This pack is full of wounded shifters, broken by the betrayal of one of our own. We protect ourselves from strangers, particularly alphas who might seek to seize control of the pack. My new mate serves as a threat to the pack.

I had vowed to protect this pack as its Alpha, but I don’t know if I can keep it.

The Shifters Council might assign the pack to another alpha or my mate as its leader. Then, the pack would be easy prey to anyone with bad intentions. My face went pale at the thought; I clenched my fist so tight it hurt. We had to keep this situation under wraps for as long as possible.

I woke up the next morning feeling very weak. My head pounds heavily, and I feel sick in my guts. I have a lot of pack matters to attend to, and I can’t afford to laze around. I struggled to sit up as Hyde came in, holding several papers wit

  • Her Second Chance Alpha   Chapter Nine: Everyone Knew

    Sera’s POV“Have you been too busy to come see us?” Bill stared at me in question, his voice filled with hurt.Ruby turned to him in confusion. Her deep blue eyes twinkled with curiosity.“I intended to see you both last night, but a minor accident made it impossible for me to come. I would never be too busy for you guys. We are going out to play by the weekend, and I will get you guys your favorite toys!” I carefully mentioned the bribe.Bill, a sensitive pup, made me extra cautious in his presence. The twins were about one year and six months, but they were stronger and sharper than normal pups. They learned fast. Bill is a literal genius and already possesses a powerful aura at this tender age.“Yay! I’m going to get the Pink Princess doll. That’s super expensive!” Ruby ran in circles around me, jumping up as she ran.She wore a pink princess dress that was too bogus for everyday

  • Her Second Chance Alpha   Chapter Ten: Ralf's Vendetta

    Ralf’s POV Werewoods’ Borders The night descended, and tense silence filled the meeting room as I stride in with my Beta. Everyone bowed as I took the majestic seat at the top. My wolf purred in satisfaction at the scent of fear which filled the room at my entrance. This, right here, is the prestige of an alpha. An alpha’s mere presence should inspire fear in the hearts of his subordinates; his aura should make others cower in submission. A mere glance from him should inspire dread in the hearts of lesser wolves; his every move should be with intent to conquer. “You may all rise!” My voice boomed in the silent meeting room as I glanced around with a sharp look. The room contains fifty rogue shifters who have sworn their allegiance to me. We aim to take over the Werewoods, and I intend to start with the Still Moon Pack. My blood ran cold, and I

  • Her Second Chance Alpha   Chapter Eleven: Looming Danger

    Ralf’s POV I clenched my fists, and my nails dug into the flesh of my palm. My fangs protruded as my eyes glowed in the dark. I felt my wolf's rage filling my insides—easy, Scar. Revenge would come, and it would come soon. I smile wickedly.I would give Sera’s head to Dylan as a peace offering.I pushed aside the curtain and ventured into my sleeping chambers. Darkness descended all around me, and I moved to light the candle on my dressing table. The room brightened, and my face reflected in the mirror.The jarring scar cutting across my face from my hairline to my jaw is evidence of the grueling battle a year ago. Aidin had granted me the scar as evidence of my betrayal, but look who survived the war.“Muahahahaha,” I throw my head back in laughter. Aidin was six feet under with his beloved mate and responsible son. I would send him his lovely daughter and the cute twins to com

  • Her Second Chance Alpha   Chapter Twelve: Pack Tour

    Draco’s POVWhite Moon PackI was getting frustrated at my futile search. We have been to about thirty packs, and I still haven’t found her. My wolf was getting antsy, and I felt frustrated. Where in the world was my mate?Our encounter felt like a figment of my imagination, but persistent nightmares of my mate’s brutal death kept me awake at night. I had to find her and protect her.Sunlight streamed through the gaps in the trees as we raced past. The tree leaves dripped moisture from the early morning dew. A team of rabbits went into hiding on sighting us. The chirping birds took flight at our noisy approach. My wolf, Noble, raced with abandon. I am with my team for the pack tour, and we are all in wolf form.We left the Snow Moon Pack behind us and ran towards the next. In the Werewoods, the most common mode of transportation was to travel in wolf form. We shifters felt at home in the woods and unrestrained in our wolf form. Our hooves

  • Her Second Chance Alpha   Chapter Thirteen: News

    Draco’s POV“Welcome once again to our humble abode. We’ve just completed some renovations to the space. We replaced the furniture and redecorated the house,” Maximus explained as we entered. I glanced around the magnificent house. Well, not so humble.“I’ll go get the pack cook to set up the table. We’ve prepared a feast in anticipation of your arrival.” Beta Spencer glanced at me with a patronizing smile on his face.Since I became the Alpha of my pack and considering my reputation as the strongest Alpha in all the Werewoods, I’ve been on the receiving end of such gazes. Most people can’t see past the wealth and glory associated with being me. They can’t reach the blood, sweat, and tears it took to get to where I am today.I ignore Spencer and glance towards Maximus. “How is the general situation of the packs within this area? I presume your knowledge of the packs’ general situation is excellent, given your pack’s prosperity in these p

  • Her Second Chance Alpha   Chapter Fourteen: Bite Mark

    Draco’s POVOur conversation got interrupted as the pack cook brought the meal. A plate of pork chops with rice and grilled vegetables was before me. I look around to find my pack wolfing down their dinner. It was a leader’s duty to ensure his pack’s care before caring for himself.After checking on everyone, I move to tackle my plate.Alpha Maximus and his Beta, Spencer, led us to the guest chambers. It was a detached little cottage, separate from the pack house and the other houses belonging to the pack members. I nodded my head in satisfaction. It was far away from the hustle and bustle of pack activities.The peaceful cottage seemed to radiate an air of serenity. It was a good place to rest. I was exhausted, and I was going to pass out the moment I got to the room prepared for me. It took sheer willpower to hold myself together and not fall flat on my face.By the expression on their faces, I could tell they were tired. I glance at Se

  • Her Second Chance Alpha   Chapter Fifteen: Weakness

    Sera’s POVStill Moon PackIt was fifteen days after I’d received the shocking news of my pregnancy, and I still couldn’t wrap my head around it. The news had spread like wildfire throughout the pack, and I still don’t know how. My plans of keeping the news under wraps were dead on arrival since the news had spread even before I could get up from bed in the wake of my collapse.The entire pack was in chaos because of the news, and various speculations had spread, even reaching my ears. I hold my head at the thoughts of the most outrageous ones. As I went about pack duties, I didn’t miss the speculative glances I’d been getting.And to make it worse, Millie had been hoarding me about my mate’s identity, but I couldn’t bring myself to tell her the truth. I had escaped the twins’ scrutiny by distracting them with gifts and toys. But, by the knowing look in Bill’s eyes, I knew I hadn’t fooled him.I had taken Hyde’s words with levity and resu

  • Her Second Chance Alpha   Chapter Sixteen: The Pups

    Sera’s POV“You are up. How are you doing?” Millie walked towards me, looking concerned.“Not good. I still can’t get out of bed without feeling dizzy. And I still can’t eat breakfast.” By lunchtime, my nausea would ease up a little, and then I could eat properly. I need all the extra strength I can get since the pregnancy is draining me.“Now, don’t you go worrying your pretty head about pack matters? Miles and I are handling it. Max would arrive any day from now. He has concluded the investigation of the backgrounds of the new pack members.”Max is Miles’ best friend and an enforcer of the pack. He loves to travel around the Werewoods and even beyond. He handles all the pack matters conducted outside the pack.“I hope he isn’t cutting his trip short because of me?” I knew he didn’t like to be caged, so I tried to give him as much liberty as possible.“Well, not exactly. He is coming back so soon because of the pups. He couldn’t

  • Her Second Chance Alpha   Trouble at the Borders

    Draco’s POVI moved even closer to Aria as she watched me with that familiar, harmless, disarming smile on her face.But that smile couldn't disarm this Alpha as I was no fool. I watched her with a sharp look and a grim smile.“Which pack did you say you came from? Remind me.”My voice filled with murderous intent.“Alpha, I have lost…”I was waiting to hear her cooked-up stories when Sebastian’s voice came once again through the mind link.I put up a finger, signaling to Aria to hold on as my eyes glazed over, signaling that a connection had been established through the mind link.“Alpha, we have a situation here. We are having difficulty getting through the line of enforcer here.”“Enforcers?”“Yeah. A couple of enforcers are insisting we leave and have refused to let us in.”I let out a sigh as I ran my fingers through my hair, eyes still on the female shifter before me.This interrogation was going to wait.“I’m on my way now. Try to control the situation to prevent things from e

  • Her Second Chance Alpha   Not Safe

    Draco’s POV“Alright. Just approach the enforcers while I inform Sera,” I responded through the mind link.I took a glance at my reflection in the mirror, making sure there was no issue before exiting the room.Once I arrived at the Still Moon Pack with Sera from the Crescent Hills, and the pack knew my identity and purpose, they put me in the guest room at the far end of the west wing.It was a large and comfortable room which was just next to that of Miles and Max, but it was far off the east wing, which had Sera’s room at the extreme end of the wing.Since each wing had about 5-6 rooms, that placed about 8-10 rooms between my room and Sera’s room.As far away as possible.I’d caught Millie’s sly grin as she assigned me to the room, so I knew what she’d been up to.But I hadn’t minded.Because I had plans of my own.Plans to move from room 12 to room 1 in the uppermost wings of the pack house.I glanced at Max’s and Miles’ doors as I walked past, headed straight to my mate’s room.B

  • Her Second Chance Alpha   Arrival

    Draco’s POV“Alpha, we are almost at the Still Moon Pack’s border.”Sebastian’s unmistakable voice came into my sea of consciousness as I slept, and my eyes immediately snapped open.I was in the large, Queen sized bed in the guest room of the Still Moon Pack’s pack house.“When will you be arriving?” I asked as I sat up on the bed, still grouchy from sleep.“We should be there by mid-morning. The team seems wary, but it’s more important to complete the trip ASAP. So, it’s nothing we can not handle,” Seb concluded.“Okay. Inform me when you arrive at the borders,” I said.“Yes, Alpha,” Seb replied and cut off the connection.I sighed as I fell back on the bed, my arms crossed behind my head, staring up at the chandelier hanging from the ceiling of the room.It was a beautiful piece with an intricate design and complex curves, but my mind was far away from it.I glanced around the guest room and sighed in satisfaction.The room’s sparse furnishings included mismatched furniture and a s

  • Her Second Chance Alpha   Pack Acceptance

    Sera’s POV“Alpha, we have a problem!”I was in the pack’s dining area having breakfast with Draco, Miles, and Max, and finalizing the details for Draco’s pack when the doors burst open and Grace, Max’s sister, came in through the doors and exclaimed with a pale face.I glanced up at her, a frown creasing my brows as I asked, “Grace, what’s wrong? What’s going on?”She came forward panting.Max sent her a glass of water, which she gulped down without pause as we watched.“Some pack members who are against the merger of the two packs are kicking up a ruckus in protest!”I let out a sigh, all my appetite for the dish of cold roast chicken and a glass of strawberry juice before me long forgotten.After the incident with Ruby in the nursery, everything had passed in a blur, as preparations for the merger had occupied our time.After the meeting with the leadership of the pack, the news spread like wildfire in the pack. The pack members had mixed reactions to the news.The logical ones amo

  • Her Second Chance Alpha   The Twin Acceptance

    Sera’s POVWe all fell silent at Ruby’s words and even the pups around strained their ears, waiting to hear Draco’s reply.I turned to Draco, whom Ruby had put on the spot, as if I were watching a spectacle. We were all waiting to see how he’d handle her.As we all watched, Draco crunched down before Ruby, looking her in the eye. He let out his all too familiar wide grin and finally gave a reply.“Yes, I am Sera’s mate. My name is Draco, the Alpha of the Silva Moon Pack. I am the father of your niece or nephew, which is going to come out any time from now.”I gasped at his words.Ruby’s eyes took on a vicious glint, which I’d never seen, and she reached out to hit Draco before anyone could stop her.“Bad Alpha. You are the bad wolf that got Sera pregnant and left her all alone,” Ruby said, her hands crossed over her chest in defiance.My eyes widened, and I watched, amazed at how my sister had defended me. My eyes brimmed with tears and my vision blurred, but my heart surged with so m

  • Her Second Chance Alpha   Ruby’s Antics

    Sera’s POV“You mean Alpha Draco of the Silva Moon Pack? The strongest shifter in all the Werewoods?” Max couldn’t keep his mouth closed as he stared at my mate, looking amazed.I fought hard to hold in my laughter, and the looks on Miles’ and Millie’s faces betrayed their amusement.Max had always been a fan of strong shifters and always raved about them. It was no wonder that he was also a fan of Draco, an Alpha who’d accomplished so much while we were all still playing around in the pack, merely pups.He’d become the young Alpha in his teenage years and built the strongest team of enforcers the Werewood has ever seen.That team was now going to move into this pack and become a part of us.I could already see Max’s reaction when he found out.Draco had a smug look at Max’s reaction to his identity. I hit him on his arm discreetly, while no one else was looking. He was having fun at my friend’s expense and I could have that.“Yes, in flesh and blood.” Draco responded with a slight

  • Her Second Chance Alpha   Catch Up

    Sera’s POV“What?!” I exclaimed, unable to believe my ears.Max had delayed his return to the pack for so long that when we’d received a letter stating that he was close to the pack just before I got summoned by the Council, I’d brushed it off like it was another one of his reassurances.The harsh sound of screeching chair legs against the floor came from the side of the meeting room as Grace exclaimed with excitement, “My brother is back!”Like a whirlwind, she ran past the panting enforcer towards the exit, all thoughts of the ongoing meeting long forgotten.Miles and I exchanged glances.Max was back just in time before we begun big changes to the pack.I couldn’t help but be curious about the outcome of his investigation into the backgrounds and origin of the new pack members we had.It was just as well that we cleared out the spies before setting up the new pack.“Thank you, Joseph. You may take your leave,” I said to the messenger enforcer with a small smile.“Yes, Alpha.” He t

  • Her Second Chance Alpha   Max is Back!

    Sera’s POV“What? A union of both packs? Mates? This is absurd!” Elder Philips exclaimed while the rest of my pack remained silent.“How is that possible? They can’t just command two shifters to get mated on a whim, right?” Max’s sheltered little sister, Grace, looked downright confused as she glanced around the room.We all knew that the Council could do whatever it pleased as it reigned supreme in the Werewoods, but no one was going to upset the she-wolf by telling her that.“The idea of uniting two packs is ridiculous. I mean, no one has ever tested it in the Werewoods,” Steve said, shaking his head slightly.“Which is why the Council has placed the union on a three-month probation. If either of the packs feels that strongly that things are not working out, they can secure a reversal by putting forth a convincing argument to the Council,” I said, hoping to reassure them.There was an inaudible sigh of relief that filled the room.Everyone looked relieved at my words, and the frown

    Sera’s POV“Just in time,” Cindy said, as she watched us walk into the dining area. Her face showed her disapproval as she stood arm akimbo in the large dinning.The Omegas assigned to the kitchen, Lydia and Aria, were clearing the dishes used by pack members during their breakfast and cleaning up the tables.We didn’t make it in time for breakfast with the pack.“Had you been a minute late, you would have had to microwave your meal yourself,” she said without a hint of a smile.The pack’s meal time was sacred to Cindy, and we always tried to ensure we made it in time every day. As the pack’s cook and the one in charge of our everyday meals, she hated food wastage even more.“Hello to you too, Cindy. I had to urge them to come down earlier. If not, they wouldn’t be out until noon,” Draco said as he moved forward to take a seat.I glared at him in mock outrage while Millie just looked from one person to another, confused by Draco’s statement.I ignored the snitching wolf and turned to
