His Secret Second Chapter 36: The Box
(Jenna POV)“Are you sure you want to open it?” Ashley asked me, gesturing to the box.“Yes.”“No.” “Maybe.”“Well, that’s decisive,” she said sarcastically.“I want to know what is in the box,” I explained.“Okay, then let’s open it,” she said, pulling on the lid.“BUT,” I said, stopping her, “my mother brought it over. Which means whatever is in that box is going to be bad.”“Rattlesnake bad or atomic bomb, bad?”“Rattlesnake bad.”“We can work with that.”She stood and headed towards my kitchen.“Where are you going?”“If we are going to be dealing with rattlesnakes, we need some liquid courage.”I groaned. “Ashley, I’m really not a drinker. The other night was unusual for me, and it totally kicked my a&&.”Ashley winked at me. “I’m not a regular drinker, either, Jenna. But I think that there are times that we need to get out of our own way, and times we need to get out of our own heads, and I do not believe in letting a friend drink by herself.”I smiled despite myself. A
His Secret Second Chapter 35: A Luna's Intervention
(Jenna POV)Ashley didn’t say a word when she walked in.Not at first. She almost didn’t need to.The moment that my mother realized that we weren’t alone, she froze. It was strangely satisfying to watch.Ashley was standing just inside the living room, her hands resting casually on the back of a chair. There was no aggression in her posture, no sharpness in her energy. And yet, power radiated from her—quiet, unyielding, unmistakable.“Luna Rivers,” my mother said politely, smoothing her expression. “I didn’t realize—”“What?” Ashley asked calmly… almost innocently. “You didn’t realize what?”My mother straightened her spine.“Luna, I’m not sure how much you heard…..”“I heard most of it,” Ashley replied casually. “Or at least enough. I pulled up just as you were going inside.”My mother visibly relaxed, mistaking Ashley’s restraint for sympathy.“Then you can appreciate why I’m upset about Jenna’s recent behavior,” she said confidently. “I know you and Alpha Rivers would never con
His Secret Second Chapter 34: What She Knows
(Jenna POV)“You know what about me and Beta Nichols?” I asked carefully.My mother did not answer me. Instead, she began pacing the length of my small living room, her heels clicking against the wood floor.The sound felt like an ominous countdown to whatever was coming next.Apparently, my mother had more things to get off her chest, and she had decided that this conversation was going to follow her rules, not mine.“From the time you could talk, Jenna,” she said tightly. “You asked who your father was. You asked where he was. Why he wasn’t a part of your life. You asked why you couldn’t live with him. You acted like this … ”—she gestured vaguely between us --“… like I was something you needed to escape from.”My jaw clenched.“I was a pup. A pup who was regularly reminded how unwanted she was. A pup who was told ---over and over again— that she had ruined her mother’s life simply by being born.”“You judged me!” she shot back. “I did the best I could on my own, raising you a
His Secret Second Chapter 33: Mommy Dearest
(Jenna POV)“Mother.”I hadn’t said the word out loud in eight years. At least not to address someone. Saying it now felt strange.She stood on the small porch of my cottage, wearing a neat blue dress and a tight smile, holding a cardboard box like it was either a peace offering or a weapon. Her blond hair, now showing hints of gray, was pulled into its usual severe bun, not a strand out of place—as if control itself were a fashion choice.For a moment, neither of us spoke.“I heard you were back,” she said finally. “Brenna mentioned it. I didn’t believe her at first.”Brenna. Of course. I should have known that my high school bully would be friends with my mother.“I’m back,” I replied flatly.“Yes,” she said, eyes sweeping over me from head to toe. “I can see that.”There was judgment in that look. There always had been.She took a step forward, clearly intending to come inside. I didn’t move.“Are you going to let me in?” she asked.“No.”She rolled her eyes. Then, ignoring my
His Secret Second Chapter 32: The Aftermath
(Jenna POV)I quickly and silently left the alpha suite while Ashley and Kade fought about what he had done. I headed back to my cottage.I would stay there for the next several days, refusing to leave or answer the door. Ashley kept trying to mind-link and call me, and she even came over a few times, but I didn’t want to talk to her or anyone else.Danny also tried reaching out. A lot. Multiple times per day. Some phone calls, and a lot of text messages.“Hi, baby. Just got to the airport. I hope your day is getting better. I will call you later.”“Just landed. Tried calling you, but you didn’t answer. I will try again later. Love you.”“Baby, are you okay? I’ve tried calling three times, and you haven’t picked up. I hope you aren’t mad about earlier. Let’s talk about it, okay? I love you.”“Good morning, Baby. Did you forget our rules? Good morning and good night every day. I will give you a pass on yesterday. Hopefully you got to bed early. Let’s talk when you
His Secret Second Chapter 31: The Alpha Order
(Danny POV)We were going to miss our flight if we did not leave soon.My parents were freaking out, not understanding what the delay was. I eventually told them to go on ahead of me, explaining that there was a minor issue involving the alpha king that I needed to deal with.That got them off my back, but I still needed to make the flight myself.Of course, that was easier said than done. The courier took his d&mn time making his way to and through the packhouse. Kade and I waited with Jenna and Ashley. We were terrified about what the letter would say, and I was simultaneously terrified that I was going to miss the flight. I kept nervously checking the time on my phone every 30 seconds.Finally, the courier made it.I watched as Jenna silently read the letter and then handed it to me. Kade and I exchanged looks before reading it ourselves.“This was always about her case,” I linked Kade in relief. “That’s it. We overreacted.”“Did we?” he linked back. He didn’t seem as sure

(Danny POV)The smell of vanilla and strawberries was intoxicating. I could feel my heart beating a mile a minute, and all of my senses seemed to be on overdrive. I had a second chance mate.I HAD A SECOND CHANCE MATE.I do not know who was more excited: me, or my wolf, Mason.It had been eight
His Secret Second Chapter 13: The Hospital
(Danny POV)“Why the pack hospital?” I asked the guard. “Is someone hurt?”The guard shook his head as he glanced uncomfortably at Jenna. “I am sorry, Sir. I do not know. I just started my shift 30 minutes ago. All I know is what your mother asked me to tell you.”I frowned and quickly mind-li
His Secret Second Chapter 9: Meeting the Alpha
(Danny POV)At 9 am the next morning, I began pounding on the door of Kade’s alpha suite.When he finally answered, his grumpy mood did nothing to thwart my happy one.“Honeymoon’s over, Alpha,” I said smugly.“You don’t get to decide that,” he growled.“Oh, I do. You see, I am alpha for the next
