last update publish date: 2026-05-15 21:58:09

(Jenna POV)

Before we knew it, several months had passed.

Somehow during that time, we had eventually settled into a new normal.

Which wasn’t really normal at all.

But we made it work.

For the most part.

Danny spent his days with Beth. I spent my days pretending not to care, while keeping myself as busy as I could with work.

For my own sanity, I began religiously wearing earbuds during the day. Truthfully, it wasn’t about what I could hear —I hadn’t heard anything since that first day— but ra

  • His Secret Second   Chapter 153: Welcome to Midnight Moon

    (Two Weeks Earlier)(Jenna POV)I called Nick.“Hey, Sweetheart. You make it?”“I’m here.”“As in, inside the pack borders?”“As in, inside my car, around 1000 feet away.”“How long have you been there?”“An hour.”There was a long pause.“Sweetheart, it’s time to go in.”“I’m nervous,” I confessed.“About what?”“I don’t know.”“Sweetheart….”“I have hated him most of my life.”“So your expectations are low.”“Yes, but if I talk to him, and he is as bad as I’ve always thought –”“Then you have lost nothing.”“Then I’ve lost the hope that he could be more.”“What if you talk to him and find out he’s not a monster?”“What if he’s somewhere in between?”“Sweetheart, you won’t know until you talk to him.”“But you know.”“I know there is more to him than meets the eye. That’s it.”“What if –”“What if you don’t find out? Can you live with never knowing?”I sighed.“Okay.”“Call me later?”Agreeing, I reluctantly hung up the phone.****After spending another ten minutes in my car, I f

  • His Secret Second   Chapter 152: The Queen's Seat

    (Nick POV)“Connor.”I looked up, only to see my uncle entering my office. No knock; no invitation. Just straight on it, as though he owned the place.To be fair, he used to. But not now.“What do you want?” I growled.It had been six weeks since Jenna left for Jamaica. She was back in the states now, but at her father’s pack.“You look like sh&t,” he said casually, as he sat down in one of the chairs across from me.“What’s your point?” I demanded.My fuse was short. Very short. “I’ve been getting reports from your staff. You’ve been a nightmare around here lately.”“And?”“And it cannot continue.”I growled.I was the Alpha King. Not him.I was not in the mood for a lecture.“Say what you came to say.”“We have several candidates to replace Danny Nichols as Beta of Blue River.”I forced myself to keep a straight face when I heard Danny's name. I had tried for a long time to like the a&&hole, in part because I could see that he wasn’t a bad guy through and through. However,

  • His Secret Second   Chapter 151: When Jamaica Ends

    (Jenna POV)The last two weeks of my vacation were… fine.That probably sounds miserable, considering how heavenly I described the first half.However, it wasn’t miserable. It just… wasn’t what it had been before.Once Danny came to see me, Jamaica didn’t feel like an escape anymore. Instead, it felt like a place where I could get some thinking done… provided Danny didn’t come back.I still went to the music concerts, but I didn’t stay out very late. I still went on small adventures, but my heart really wasn’t in them.When Roman texted to thank me for going to the wedding with him and ask me how things were, I smiled but chose not to respond.Mostly, I spent time on the beach. I continued to take books with me, but I never touched them. Instead, I studied the humans and wolves around me. I watched their interactions and listened to their conversations. Couples; friend groups; families. Each one was different.One couple started to fight, but the female immediately relented an

  • His Secret Second   Chapter 150: Placing Blame

    (Jenna POV)Danny looked up.“I have continued in my therapy, Jenna. And one of the things we have worked on lately is me taking accountability for things instead of making excuses.”“Wow.”“I messed up with you in so many ways. And I regret them all.”“Okay.”“I want you to know that I never cheated on you.”“Not physically,” I agreed.“Not physically,” he repeated. “And not emotionally either. My heart was always with you. Never with Beth.”“We’ve been through this, Danny,” I complained, standing up.“We have but we haven’t.”“We have.”“You still blame yourself.”“Of course I still blame myself! If my instincts had been working properly, I would have left you that first week.”“That’s different than what you said before.”“What is?” I asked, confused.“Just a few minutes ago, you said that the problem was that you listened to your instincts and they led you astray. That’s different than what you said just now.”I sighed.“What’s your point?”“My point is that your instincts d

  • His Secret Second   Chapter 149: Interrupted Paradise

    (Jenna POV)Perhaps I should have researched Jamaican weddings before I agreed to go with Roman.Because it was a lot.The wedding started at 4 “ish” and lasted until at least 3 or 4 o’clock in the morning. Everything was loud, vibrant, and over the top.But it was so much fun.The wedding included bright colors. Gold everywhere. Rum, rum, and more rum. Curried goat, which I refused to try, and fruit cake, which was better than I had expected.And the music was once again a star of the show. Roman kept me on the dance floor almost all night, and he was a perfect gentleman.He told me about his parents, who had been pressuring him to go on dates and find himself a Luna, and how he wasn’t interested in anything serious right now. It helped me understand why he would even consider taking his pregnant cousin to the wedding.By the time Roman brought me back to the hotel at the end of the night, my hair was a mess; my heels were in my hand; and I was smiling so much that my cheeks wer

  • His Secret Second   Chapter 148: The Bro-Code

    (Danny POV)Was I surprised when Kade told me that I was going to be removed from my Beta position?No.Frankly, I didn’t really want it anyway.What I wanted was my mate. My real mate. My Jenna.My mother had become obsessed with the idea of Jenna and I getting back together.Deep down, I knew she mostly meant well. However, a part of me couldn’t help but wonder if she had other motivations too. Namely, if Jenna and I got back together, would Jenna encourage the council to close its investigation into my mother? As a victim, after all, they would likely listen to her. Was that why my mother was pushing me so hard?It was a horrible thing to think about the she-wolf who had raised me. Was I being unfair for even wondering?And yet, it was a thought that I could not shake.It was also a thought that kept me from going back to Jenna’s house and begging her for a second chance.If I was to get one –and yes, I still wanted to get one— I needed to be the best Danny Nichols that I co
