Draco’s POV

The door to the room right beside mine came open, and Sebastian came out fresh from the shower. He glanced at us, wondering what we were doing standing in the hallway.

I ignored his look and proceeded towards the stairs. “Let’s head to the meeting room, since we’re all here.”

Bruno and Seb trailed after me in silence as I descended the stairs.

We’d just reached the end of the stairs when Freya came through the dining area.

“Good morning, Alpha,” she bowed, “Sebastian and Bruno, how was your night? Hope you had a nice rest?”

“Freya, you look lovely, as always. I had a good night’s rest, thank you.”

Sebastian had a wide grin. Freya was a favorite of most of the pack members and he was no exception.

With a smile, she announced, “Breakfast is almost ready. We should set the table in 30 minutes.”

The meeting was to be held after breakfast and as pack members began streaming in. Bruno wasn’t the only one curious about the reason for the meeting.

The leaders were making an appe

  • Her Second Chance Alpha   The Meeting (2)

    Draco’s POV“Let’s move this to the meeting room,” I said as I rose and turned to head out of the dining area.They all stood up at my words and we moved out the doors, down the hallway, toward the meeting room.There was no need to delay anymore since everyone was here and we’d all eaten.We all walked in silence, each person lost in his thoughts.The meeting rooms in most packs were similar, with little or no difference. The pack’s meeting room was at the far end of the hallways because of the level of privacy needed for this meeting. However, most pack members were outside the pack or still lingering in their rooms at this time, which gave us much-needed privacy.This situation was just to my advantage, as controlling the opinions of these pack leaders to the existence of my mate would be effective in influencing the opinion of most of my pack members.Having two Alpha-level leaders in any pack would be difficult to navigate, but having a positive attitude was very important.Seba

  • Her Second Chance Alpha   Draco’s Shocking Plans

    Draco’s POV“What? Your mate is the alpha of the Still Moon Pack?” Kelvin’s thunderous voice filled the meeting room.I sat in silence as I watched their reactions. Alpha mates were just as rare as second-chance mates, if not more.Female Alphas had been non-existent for the last few decades until Elder Selene, a member of the Elders’ Council in the Werewoods, broke that cycle. But Elder Selene never had an alpha mate.This made my situation with Sera even more peculiar.Our bond was going to attract unwanted attention and scrutiny for both our packs from the Council and other Alphas and everyone in the Werewoods.A situation neither I nor Sera wanted to see happen.My silence seemed to confirm Elder Kelvin’s words as Freya exclaimed, “What is the Moon Goddess trying to do? Stir up the entire Werewoods?”Her words echoed everyone’s thoughts, similar to my thoughts when I’d first discovered that my mate was an Alpha that fateful day in the guest room of the White Moon Pack.I was con

  • Her Second Chance Alpha   Draco’s Shocking Plans(2)

    Draco’s POV “What did you say?” Elder Kelvin’s gaze showed disbelief. The idea weighed on my heart and my lips felt heavy from the size of the thoughts which passed its confines. It was new. It was fresh and unexplored, but it could work if given a chance. This idea of mine. “A union of two packs? No shifter has ever done that in our history!” Bruce said, eyes widened in shock. The usually composed enforcer had lost his composure at my words. The werewoods had never in its history recorded the union of two packs and the idea was foreign to us shifters. But who says our packs wouldn’t be the ones to break the record? Besides, it was worth the try. “The idea in itself sounds ridiculous!” Jane had a look of outright disapproval directed my way. “I mean, why go through all this just to invite trouble to ourselves? What of Sophie? She’s lovely and is Luna material.” Sebastian and I exchanged glances, remaining silent. The others all looked away in discomfort. Sophie wa

  • Her Second Chance Alpha   Sophie’s Determination

    Sophie’s POV“Fine, just tell me about Sera. Is she your second-chance mate?”My pupils constricted in shock and for a moment, I couldn’t process the words I’d heard coming from the pack office.Draco had a second-chance mate? Did those even exist anymore? No, it was impossible.I shook my head in disbelief and the tail ends of my blonde curls bounced in harmony at the force of my movement.Sebastian had always been the bane of my existence in the pack since we were little, and this could just be another plot to taunt me, knowing that I was just behind the door.Just wait. Draco was going to tell him off pretty soon.I swiped my hair behind my shoulders, filled with disgust at Sebastian’s antics, while ignoring the brief pang of anxiety growing in my heart.The office remained quiet, and I didn’t hear Draco’s response for a long time.My hands felt itchy, and I desperately wanted to put it in my mouth, an anxious habit of mine. But the tray I held made it impossible.Then, just as I w

  • Her Second Chance Alpha   Mysterious Letter

    Sophie’s POVMy anxious thoughts calmed now that I knew my next course of action. I was determined to fight for Draco, but how to go about it evaded me.A second-chance mate?The thought of that still baffled me. I mean, who could have imagined?That was almost unheard of in the Werewoods.Just as I’d thought the major obstacle was dead and gone, long out of the way, a new one emerged.But it was unimportant to me because I just needed to get rid of this second-chance just like I did the first-chance.I let out a grim smile at my wordplay.Too bad I didn’t wait to get the full details about her identity. Well, not to worry. It will all be out soon. Then I could attack head-on.Beige snorted at my words, and her excitement coursed through my veins.It’d be nice to watch another one go down, just like the last.It was late in the evening when I made my way back to the pack house, and even the ambiguous glances and stares I received from pack members didn’t faze me.I was a loner in the

  • Her Second Chance Alpha   Picnic

    Sera’s POVI was in the pack’s study, trashing paperwork on a sunny afternoon, when the office doors burst open.“What are you doing working so hard on such a hot day?”The familiar voice had me jerking up in surprise. What was Draco doing back here so soon after he’d left?A flutter of butterflies filled my belly and I couldn’t even hide my excitement at seeing him, as a wide grin covered my face.After hours of perusing through countless paperwork, he was a sight for sore eyes.He moved forward, intent on kissing me, and I waited in anticipation.I slid smoothly into his embrace and just as our mouths were about to touch, a tiny shrill voice sounded in my ears.“Sera! Wake up! It’s time for our picnic.” I opened my eyes grudgingly, hold my head at the abrupt noise only to realize I’d been dreaming again.I glanced around, looking for the source of the noise, and frowned at the sight before me.The day wasn’t even bright yet and Ruby was already in my bed, all dressed and ready for

    Sera’s POVMillie slumped on the table just as a kitchen aide brought her meal in.“I’m just stressed, that’s all. And I have these weird dreams,” she said, giving me a bewildered look.Her words reminded me of my own ‘weird dreams’ I’ve been getting, and I looked away as a blush crept up my cheeks.I asked, “How are things going with the pack? Is that why you’re all stressed?”Worry clouded my features.I didn’t mind handling the pack affairs if Millie and Miles were finding it hard to cope without me.“Oh, no worries. Miles is coping just fine and all I need is to be rid of these weird dreams,” Millie said, in reassurance.“When’s Max going to get back? It has been days since he was supposed to arrive,” I asked with a frown.That was another major concern of mine. Max has been on the road for a while now and he was still nowhere in sight.“Miles said he got held up by an emergency and would arrive another now,” Millie said in reply.With her food untouched, Millie looked lost in tho

  • Her Second Chance Alpha   Crescent Hills

    Sera’s POV“When will you be back?” Ruby asked in a subdued voice, staring at me, looking so vulnerable in the oversized sweater she had on.We were saying our goodbyes, and I was about to leave for the Crescent Hills. After making hasty arrangements, we’d decided that Miles and some pack enforcers would accompany me. But I felt uncomfortable leaving the pack with just Millie around.I hoped Max would arrive soon enough to ease some of Millie’s burden. Then, it had been time to say my goodbyes to the pups.I assured them while I was all jumbled up and confused inside.Bill was still fine, but Ruby looked like her world was about to be turned up-side-down. The pup had always been very sensitive to these things.Growing up without their parents made the pups scared of losing any other loved one.“I should be back in a few days’ time. The Council just needs me to give a detailed report on the pack.”That was putting it, but there was no need to scare the pups.I turned to Miles and the

  • Her Second Chance Alpha   Amelia’s Death

    Sera’s POV“Who’s she?” I asked once again as Draco remained silent, lost in thoughts.I turned to the boy, Theo, and he gave me an apologetic look, embarrassed at his slip-up.Draco was my second-chance mate, and I’d always known that he too once had a fated mate, but I was never really curious to know the story behind it as I never intended to honor the mate bond.But now things are different.If we were going to move forward as a pack and as mates, I think it’d be right to know.I turned back to Draco and stared at him, determined to get the story out of him.Draco let out a defeated sigh and turned to Theo, who was now shaking in his seat at the tension which filled the room.“Theo, you may take your leave now. I’d tell Seb to send for you again later,” he said, glancing at Theo.“Uncle Draco…” Theo started, glancing worriedly at us both. He stood and went to Draco’s side, trying but failing to whisper, “Did I cause any sort of trouble?”“No, boy. We just need to have this conver

    Draco’s POV“Come in,” I said, as I stood, turning around to watch the door, my voice layered in frost.The door opened to reveal Grace leading in other female shifters, carrying my personal effects and clothes into the room.They quickly filed into the room, filling up the space with a riot of scents from various shifters and checking up my nostrils. The space which I considered an intimate space for me and my mate quickly became clustered and I frowned in annoyance.Grace asked as she glanced at me, “Alpha Draco, where should we place your things?”“Just put them on the couch and the bed. Put the heavier ones on the floor. I’d sort them myself,” I said, impatient to be rid of them quickly.“Alright, Alpha,” Grace said, throwing curious glances at the washroom where the sound of a running shower was obvious.“Excuse us,” Grace said, as she turned around to usher the other shifters out of the room after they’d dropped off my things as instructed.She had an excited look on her face an

    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

  • Her Second Chance Alpha   In The Know

    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.

  • Her Second Chance Alpha   A Sleeping Sera

    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.
