Her Second Chance Alpha Chapter 28
ETHAN“Behind me, Freya. Please.”I heard her breathe in like she was going to argue. Then she closed her fingers around the blade. I thought maybe, just maybe, she’d listen this once.She didn’t. Of course, she didn’t.Upstairs, something crashed. It was glass. A lot of it broke into pieces, the sound rolling down the stairs.Freya moved right past me. I noticed immediately when I felt the air shift where she’d been. “Freya!” I lunged and grabbed nothing.“That’s the nursery,” she said, already at the foot of the stairs. Her voice was flat and terrifyingly calm. “Jonah will be in the there.”“We’ll go together.”“Then hurry.”We took the steps two at a time. I couldn’t see them, so I counted, and I still nearly tripped near the top. The hallway was darker than the living room. I could hear things I couldn’t name. A creak. A scrape. A low, sliding sound, like something was being pulled across the floor. My normal human hearing was so much weaker than I was used to, and I hated every

ETHANThere was nothing but total darkness. Then a low hum in the walls that felt electronic.I knew what it was before my brain could even say the word. Suppression field.My wolf slammed itself hard against the inside of my ribs as if he’d smelled danger. And then he found nothing. We couldn’t shift. We had no strength or claws. All we had were two human hands, and they were scrambling around in the dark for Freya.“Freya!”“I’m here.” Her voice came from my left. Then her fingers found my sleeve and held on. She was breathing fast, but she wasn’t panicking yet.“Mom?”“I’m fine,” Gemma said from somewhere near the door. She sounded far from fine. “My cane’s gone. I dropped it.”“Stay where you are.”“Where else would I go, Ethan? I’m an old woman standing in the dark.”Even now she was cracking jokes. I almost laughed. I really did. It came up in my chest and died there.Freya’s hand slid off my sleeve. “The babies,” she said.“Freya, wait—”She was already moving. I heard her bare

GEMMA“I told her to give me time. I told her I’d figure out a safe way.” I closed my eyes for a second. “Then two days later Gwyneth called the council together, and Dahlia was standing in front of everyone with her bags already packed. She was accused of stealing some important medicine. It was a lie, and everyone in that room knew it, and nobody said a word. Me included.”“I used to tell myself I was protecting you,” I said to Ethan. “That if I stayed quiet, you’d be safe. That’s what I told myself for years. And the more time went by, the harder it was to say the truth out loud, until it felt like I’d buried it too deep to ever dig up.”“So you let it stay buried,” Ethan said.“Yes.”He nodded once, slowly, like he was still trying to process everything. Then he looked at the ground. My heart broke even more.Freya wiped her face with the back of her hand. “Okay,” she said. Her voice shook, but she pushed through it. “That’s awful, Gemma. It really is. But we can be angry later. R

GEMMAI hadn’t said her name out loud in over twenty years. It had sat in my throat all that time like lead.Saying it now, on my own porch, in front of my son and the girl who felt more like a daughter to me than anyone born of my blood, was like ripping a bandage off a wound I’d told everybody had healed. It hadn’t healed. It had just waited.“Her name is Dahlia,” I said.Nobody moved. A moth kept bumping against the porch light, going tick, tick, tick, and I’d never hated a sound so much in my life.“She used to work in the clinic by the border,” I went on. My voice came out smaller than I wanted. “She was the best healer I ever knew. Sharp as a tack, funny, and stubborn as a mule. Before Gwyneth had her exiled for asking too many questions.”Freya’s face went white, like all the blood in her had been drained. “The clinic,” she said. “She was Wren’s mentor.”Ethan hadn’t said a word. He was looking at me the way he used to when he was ten years old and I’d promised to come to his g

FREYAMy hands were steady when I typed back, even though nothing else in me was.Freya: Who is this?The reply came quickly—too quickly, in fact—as if whoever it was had been sitting there this whole time, just waiting for exactly this moment.Unlmowm: Someone who's tired of watching Gwyneth win. Meet me alone.Ethan said no before I even finished reading it out loud. His tone sounded so flat and final, like the word alone could keep me safe just by existing."Absolutely not," he added. "Not after everything that’s already happened. Not after Corin or even Annie."I understood his anger, and I shared every last bit of it. We had trusted people before, people who'd smiled at us, then turned around and used what we told them to hurt us and the people we loved. I wasn't blind to that. But I also understood something Ethan didn't seem ready to hear, and it had been building in me for a while now, long before this message ever showed up on my phone.I was done being protected. I wanted to

ETHANFreya was quiet the whole ride back. She sat with her head against the window, staring out at the dark trees blurring past, her jaw clenched, her mind working faster than she wanted to admit out loud. I recognized that silence. She was using it to protect herself. It meant she was already three steps ahead of me, planning something I wasn't going to like."We're not telling anyone about Wren," she finally said without turning her head. "I need to meet her myself first."I understood the instinct behind it. Every single person we'd trusted with a secret over the last year had either betrayed us or nearly gotten killed for knowing too much. Corin. Annie. Even Gemma had ended up hurt more than once just for knowing too much. I understood why Freya wanted to keep this one thing just between the two of us, at least for now.But something about leaving Gemma out of it felt wrong. Especially with Micah still missing.Gemma had spent the last few weeks bruised, poisoned, and lied to by

ETHANShe was staring at me like I'd dropped out of the sky, which wasn't that far from the truth.I'd been running a patrol route through the back edge of the territory, nothing unusual, just burning off that restless energy that came with settling into a new place. I'd been in this city for less

FREYA "You're seriously not going to show up, are you?" I muttered, staring at the empty seat across from me. The chair had been empty for over an hour. The candle between us had burned down by at least half, and the waiter, bless his heart, had stopped asking if I wanted to order. I picked up my

FREYAThe meeting was set for the following morning.Orin had booked a private room at the Lodge, which was the closest thing our pack had to a proper meeting venue. It was all exposed timber and stone hearths and the permanent smell of pine resin and old smoke. It wasn't the glass-and-steel corpor

FREYA I sat in my car outside the main house and stared at the cut on my hand until the bleeding slowed. Then I started the engine and drove. There was a moment, somewhere between the main area and the edge of the pack territory, where the anger finally hit me. Real anger, not the composed, co
