Sera’s POV

I hissed in pain, then looked down at my arm to discover a long, thin scratch mark. The battle dragged on. I gasped, and sweat trickled down my face. Watching the wolf, I calculated my next move.

My strength had depleted, and this could spell disaster.

The wolf was getting impatient, and I knew that was my cue to act. He lunged at me, and I remained motionless, watching as he raised a paw with sharp claws and went for my face.

I slipped under him and plunged my claws deep into his belly. The wolf dropped dead with a grunt before me as I panted.

My strength left me as I collapsed; I’d gained the upper hand by an inch. I felt a sharp pain in my neck and raised my hand to it. It appeared I didn’t escape unscathed after all.

I moved behind a large tree to rest and regain my strength.

Fighting continued behind me. I glanced around at the gory sight of bloods

    Draco’s POVThe earth rumbled, and a loud growl filled the air as we approached the borders of the Still Moon Pack. Silence, unusual for the Werewoods, hung over the rabbit- and birdless path. The tree branches shook as if startled by a significant force. Chaotic sounds of battle filled the woods as we got closer.“Alpha, it looks like there’s a battle going on up ahead,” Sebastian conveyed through the mind link. My team journeyed toward the Still Moon Pack, fulfilling a council directive.But that wasn’t my only goal. I would meet my mate, the Alpha of the Still Moon Pack, Sera Nerva.We raced forward in wolf form, and dirt flew up in our wake.

He landed at a distance, sending dirt flying all over.The rogue had a deep gash on his face. His left eye had only escaped by an inch. He stood in a hurry and scurried away in fear.My blood boiled as I watched him run off. I’d been so close to tearing him to pieces. My rage had yet to subside, and my heart pounded. I turned to my mate, only to find her watching me guardedly.A glance at her hitched my breath in my throat. She was stunningly beautiful.Locks of chestnut-brown hair curtained her oval face. She had a svelte figure. Her flawless skin shone under the sunlight with an ochreous hue. She possessed silky lashes over her hazelnut-shaped eyes. She glan

    Draco’s POV“That’s Sebastian, my Beta, and these are my team of enforcers,” I said with a wave towards Sebastian and the team, ignoring their weird looks.It surprised them to see me so chatty, considering I’d ignored the other alphas who’d tried to get friendly in the other pack we’d visited. But I wasn’t concerned about that. They’d understand in time.“I am Millie, the Beta of the Still Moon Pack. Thanks for lending a hand.”The petite female from before came forward, as my mate had no intention of continuing to entertain me. She was feisty, and I enjoyed it.“This is Miles, the pack’s delta and top enforcer.”I nodded at Miles. A thoughtful expression lingered on his face. He seemed lost in deep contemplation.“You must be tired from your trip. Let’s get you guys settled in the pack

Something about her features was familiar, but I couldn’t place my hand on it.“Ruby, he is the pack’s guest. Come help set the table,” Cindy said, staring at the pup in disapproval.“Are you Sera’s new mate? Would we be getting a little sister?” The pup refused to bulge, and she looked ready to rip out the answers from my throat.I could now link the familiarity of her features with that of my mate. However, her questions brought up question marks of my own. How was this pup related to my mate? Was the whole pack aware of Sera’s new mate?“Ruby!”C

    Draco’s POVThe living area erupted in noise as everyone exchanged greetings and settled in for lunch.I glanced at the stairs again, wondering when she would join us. Sera had been a no-show so far. I was getting impatient, and my wolf was getting antsy. Feeling a gaze on me, I glanced up to find Miles watching me closely.He had the same unreadable look as when we first met. His sharpness as a wolf meant he must have detected my scent on my mate. That was surprising because the others were too distracted to notice.I looked away from him and glanced at Sebastian and the rest of my team. They were all enjoying themselves as they dug into their plates. The tantalizing smell of grilled chicken caressed my nostrils, and I turned to attack my plate. I was as famished as the rest at the table.I studied the entire room as I ate.The atmosphere was harmonious, and I noticed

Millie’s words cut my musings short.“This way, please,” she said, leading the way as Sebastian and I trailed along.The meeting room was a large, airy room that smelled like lavender. The room contained rows of seats that could fit many. However, for this meeting, only 5 persons would be in attendance.Everyone filed in and took up seats at the head of the main table in the room. I had Sebastian on my right, Miles and Millie on my left, and Sera sat far from me.“I believe we have all been properly introduced. Then let’s get right down to business.” Sera said in a grave tone.I watched the words leave my mate’s lips as she commanded the room with a glance. A sudden urge to grab her and kiss her senseless before everyone, right here and now, filled

    Draco’s POVThere had to have been something that made them take such a risk. Something that assured them of victory. Something that only an insider scoop could give them.There was a spy in my mate’s pack, and I was going to find out who it was.Sera shared a look with Miles and Millie. I got the feeling that they knew the reason for the sudden attack of the rogues.There was something they were not telling us, and I was determined to find out.Sera stared at me. “Ralf, the former beta of the pack, led the rogues. We are yet to find out why they suddenly attacked now after staying quiet for so long.”Miles continued, “We’ve been trying to locate Ralf’s hideout to wipe them out for good, to no avail. Max has been out for so long trying to trace them.”Sebastian asked, “Who’s Max?” Millie was the one who replied. “He is a member of this pack and also an enforcer. He handles all external affairs of the pack.”I was silently watching them.“Have you ever considered that a spy in the pac

    Draco’s POV I haven’t been this aroused since the death of my fated mate about 5 years ago. My wolf howled in joy. The delayed reunion with our mate had taken a toll on him. To a wolf, being without its mate was torture, and most couldn’t last long with their other half. “You must be joking if you think I would give up,” I said nonchalantly. A surge of possessiveness filled my bones. My wolf came to the fore at her words. My eyes shone an eerie grey in the airy meeting room. I wasn’t letting her out of my sight for a moment. Not even the Council could prevent me from being with my mate. Sera stared daggers at me, but I didn't care. There was no escaping this. “You can’t force me into this. A mating can only succeed if it’s consensual..” I stopped her words with my lips. She remained frozen in shock as I kissed her. I took advantage of her shock to deepen the kiss. She began struggling against me, but I had a firm grip on her. I had her where I wanted her, with no in

    Draco’s POV“Draco?”Once it was lunchtime, Daphne took the twins away to eat. I hadn’t eaten all day, but I couldn’t bring myself to leave my mate all alone for even a minute.Besides, I had no appetite to speak of while Sera lay there immobile and lost in the dreamland. I sat by the bedside, just watching my mate’s serene face for a while, with no idea when she’d wake.Various thoughts ran riot in my head as I feared for the worst. I’d dozed off without knowing when the familiar, now raspy from the long sleep, sounded like it was from a mile away.The persistent voice forced me to regain consciousness to make it stop.“Draco!”I opened my eyes and glanced around Sera’s large, feminine room, only to find her watching me curiously with her eyes open.Eyes open? Sera’s awake!“Draco, what are you doing here? Why are you sleeping on that uncomfortable couch when you have a perfectly fine bed in your room?” Sera asked with a bewildered look.“Well, I thought I’d crash here since I don’t

    Draco’s POVThree hours later, I remained at my mate’s bedside watching her still unmoving figure when the door opened with a tiny creak and I turned to the door, a frown marring my brows.I had made it clear to Miles and the rest that I wanted no one to disturb us unless it was necessary, but barely hours later, someone came calling.The door remained open, and the doorway was empty, and I frowned, confused at what was happening.“Sera?”Ruby’s voice came from the door, and I chuckled in amusement.Our visitor was a little person.“Come in, Ruby. Sera’s sleeping,” I said, my voice a little over a whisper.Tiny footsteps came from the doorway as Ruby waddled her way over to the bed, standing on her tiptoes to get a better look at Sera.The little girl was in a baby pink princess dress with frills at the edges and glossy shoes that shone even in the room. “Come over here,” I said. “I’ll lift you to the bed.”Ruby gave me a look of disapproval, standing with her arms akimbo.“No, I can

    Draco’s POV“Millie, get someone to transfer all my things from my room to Sera’s room. I’m going to keep a watch over her myself,” I said as I stood by the bedside in a daze, watching as my mate’s chest heaved as she breathed.The room fell silent at my words, and they all turned to me.“Okay. I’d do that right away,” Millie responded as she went to carry out my orders.I turned to the rest of the room. “For the pack’s matters, Miles and Seb, you both would take charge and work as representatives of both packs. You both would report to me on any important issue,” I said as quietly as I could, so as not to disturb my mate.“Bruno and Max, I’d leave the pack’s security to you both. Bruno, take the team to study the pack’s terrain and map out the major spots so we can position the enforcers to guard the pack.”“Max would help to ease the relationship between both packs and serve as a bridge. You guys are to work hand-in-hand with Steve, the head of the border enforcers to achieve this.

    Draco’s POVAria came down the stairs while we all were still in shock, Seb and Bruno trailing behind her.Her face was pale, and her eyes brimmed with unshed tears, making them glossy. She held the helm of her dress with trembling hands as she spoke.But I didn't give a hoot about how vulnerable she looked as my eyes narrowed down on her and my aura was wild as I observed her, my wolf Noble, coming to the surface.Everyone in the room let out a whimper as my pheromones filled the room, forcing their wolves to submit.The air was thick with tension and the large living area was deadly silent.“Speak!” I growled in Aria’s direction, voice thickened by my half-shifted state. My claws extended, and my eyes released an eerie glow in the living area. My now furry ears pricked as the air thickened with the scent of fear leaking from their bodies.“After- after Alpha Draco left, I suggested the Alpha have her meal and take her drugs, but she insisted that she’d like to rest more. So let her

  • Her Second Chance Alpha   Settled

    Draco’s POV“Hope the pack didn’t encounter problems along the way?” I asked once Sebastian and Bruno had reached my side.Seb shook his head. “No, it was smoother than we’d expected. There were no signs of rogues along the way.”“I guess the news hadn’t traveled fast enough,” Bruno said as he glanced around the woods that surrounded the Still Moon Pack.The Still Moon Pack’s woods were relatively larger than those of most packs, and the pack had maintained them properly.The trees grew in a deliberate sequence, and its leaves were lush and glossy in the sunlight. The branches provided enough shade, so we hardly felt the sun on our skins as we moved along.In the Werewoods, every pack had its little woods where we let our wolves out for regular runs and held various celebrations in our wolf form in honor of the Moon Goddess.The woods served as both an escape for our wolves when needed and a shield for each pack against ambush.Only pack members understood their woods perfectly and co

    Draco’s POV“Alpha!” The members of my pack all turned at the sound of my voice, calling out their greetings on sighting me.I studied them for any signs of bruises and released a sigh of relief when I didn’t find any.Sebastian and Bruno stood at the forefront while the surrounding enforcers protected the rest of the pack in the middle.Although they looked travel-worn, it hadn’t dampened their spirits, and they didn’t seem affected by the attitude of the enforcers of the Still Moon Pack.Sebastian had his usual look of watching a show, his lips curved in a smile, an icy glint in his eyes, while Bruno had his usual stoic looks as he watched the antics of the enforcers in the Still Moon Pack.Their demeanor assured me I wasn’t putting my pack under more strain than they could take in my quest to be with my mate.Once the border enforcers noticed my presence, they fell silent; only the chirping of birds and crickets in the woods and the cooing of a few rabbits nearby filled the cleari

    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
