Her Second Chance Mate Chapter Fourteen
AsherPregnant.I looked back to Ariezel's frame, lying on the hospital bed. She remained thin, almost sickly. She wasn't how I'd imagine a pregnant woman to be.And yet, she was pregnant for weeks, probably before she even came here.“You may leave.” I ordered the pack doctor, feeling her stiffen beside me.“Yes, Alpha Blackwell.” she bowed and scuttled out of sight.I paid no mind to her as I looked at the only one who mattered.Her red tresses flowed down the hospital bed, framing her face. The slight dark circles under her eyes. It felt like she was exposed to the world. Vulnerable.I sat beside her, but didn't dare touch. Her skin looked as pale as paper, and I feared that one touch was going to break her apart.Someone had abused her. And I was damn sure that that person and the father of her child was the damn same person.I remembered what she said, about why she ran away. There was someone she was betrothed to. And he…“He wasn't a good person.” she had said.Anger curled up
Her Second Chance Mate Chapter Fifteen
AriezelI hated this place.The sterile environment was too jarring. Too similar to the one which I wanted to forget.And yet, I felt better here than I had in weeks.The pains and aches were gone and slowly I found that most of the bruises that had plagued me had disappeared, my supernatural healing finally kicking in.I had met the pack doctor, a kind woman which relieved me of my fears. And yet, whenever I was alone, I could easily imagine the years of pitied glances and indifferent stares.Which was why it was such a relief when I was finally discharged.I entered the pack house on my own, stares I couldn't understand following me as I walked through the hallways. I wasn't sure who had found me, but it must have been a big enough scene for me to now be the subject of these stares.Being used to this as a former Luna was the only reason why I stood straight and strong, not betraying any emotion as I moved to my room. Inside though, I wanted to crush and crawl into a hidden corner w

AriezelAs evening came, I was ready for dinner. I left the room, meeting Harriet on the way only to find her fussing on me.“Alpha Blackwell was so worried.” she gushed, talking about how he found me unconscious, and yet couldn't understand why he was able to know before anyone else.I nodded in silence, not betraying anything I felt. It was best if I acted just as confused, so nobody suspected that we were mates.Together, we moved to the large hall, where stares followed me as usual. Harriet ignored them, leading me to one of the empty tables.I waited for her to bring us both our food. Whether by some foolish instinct, I found myself looking up to the higher place, where Asher was.The seat where Serena ate was empty, and guards stood all around. But to my surprise, Asher was already present.And he was staring at me.I looked away the moment I realized that his eyes were on mine. Blood rushed towards my cheeks as I felt his stare piercing behind me. I focused on the dark wood tab

AriezelIn the morning I awoke, fully dressed and ready for the day.It was a surprise to me how quickly I had recovered over the few days that had passed. Back in my pack there was no day that I had gone without a wound or bruise. The absence of pain or aches left me feeling brighter.I waited in my room as Alys had instructed when she came in earlier.A man came in, lean and unassuming. I straightened as he did.“Good morning. It's good that you're up early. I am Ambrose, and you'll be following my lead today.”I nodded obediently. At the back of my mind, his name rang a bell. I was sure that I had heard it before.While I went up to follow him, I remained in contemplation.To my surprise, as the other pack members passed us, they gave a slight bow at the man.It was too late when I realized who it was. I stopped when he did, but barely heard the words he said.“Sorry, I didn't get that.” I said to him,He didn't look angry, patiently repeating “I said this is where you'll be workin
Her Second Chance Mate Chapter Eighteen
AsherI remained sorting out documents even though my mind was miles away, locked onto flaming red hair and blue eyes.I decided to change my treatment of her, paying attention to details the pack doctor informed me of.Avoiding any strenuous work? I changed her post.Needed to be nourished properly? I ordered the pack kitchen to curate a fuller nutrient meal for her.It was all worth it, all for the greater cause of getting her to trust me. It definitely wasn't for any other reason aside from finding out what wretched waste if a man could have treated someone so badly. Most of all it was solely as she was my pack member.I ignored the constant purr with every decision I made Telling me that I was 'taking care of mate' and 'being a good mate'. There was nothing about that.Truly.I had expected one thing from her from approaching her in the night. Perhaps a word of appreciation. A part of me had expected her to follow through with her emotionless veneer-although expectations and what
Her Second Chance Mate Chapter 19
AriezelBy the time it is time for dinner I feel even more refreshed.Even though I was begrudgingly angry at his newfound treatment of me and the attention it got from the pack, I could not deny that I had felt begrudgingly better than before.Even for such a little thing, I felt immensely grateful for it.I ate beside Harriet and Alys, who had surprised us with her appearance. Yet as I did, my eyes couldn't help but wonder continuously towards the empty seats.The moment the place went quiet my heart skipped a beat. My gaze instantly went towards the high podium where Asher was coming out from.But it wasn't only him, Serena was there too, earning many gasps as I looked down and realized what had earned the noise.He was holding her hand, dragging her into.Despite my best efforts, I couldn't help but make quick glances at their podium where they both seemed so into each other for the first time.He never once looked back.I fought the bitter feeling, letting logic take over. Why sh

AsherShe glowed.Those were the first thoughts that entered my head as I looked at her face, solely fixated on the screen.Her eyes were glossy with tears, yet the bright flush on her cheeks and joyous smile that curled up her lips told otherwise. Even in the combination of the daylight and offensive bleached hospital lights, she shone.It felt like a punch to the stomach, taking my breath away. Something in me felt heavy and pulsing, rushing through my ears frantically. It took me a few seconds to realize what it was; my heartbeat.What was I feeling?I wanted to run away to the nearest bathroom or closed corner where I could cool down and push away the cacophony of sensations that bombarded me. But I couldn't, because I wanted to stay here, savoring this moment, this look of happiness I had seen on her face. My reason fought against my feelings and with her face drawing me in like a moth to a flame, the latter won. I highly doubted that it was even a battle at all.The words of th
Her Second Chance Mate Chapter 21
Ariezel's POV The next morning, I was prepared for work as usual.“Good day Ambrose?" I greeted entering my seat.He greeted me in kind whilst I focused on the set of documents he had assigned me.Despite my attempts focus was far from my mind. The memories of the day before remained and the war in my mind was ongoing.Deep inside I was still berating myself over the last words I said. Yet at the same time, the memory of what he had done couldn't be pushed away. Without any prompting, he had taken me to the hospital for a check up. If Goddess forbid, Derek was there would he have done the same thing ? Would he have been patient, silently taking me to the pack doctor and waiting till I was back? That was an obvious no.By the time the clock struck twelve, I had already anticipated what was coming next. Despite my constant refusal to get Ambrose to stop bringing food for me he continually acted like he had no control over it which was odd. After all, why was one helpless to his order
