I Was Only the Alpha's Second Choice Chapter 9
Isaac returned to his apartment and slid down to the floor just inside the door.The room was so quiet he could hear his own heartbeat.He reached for the mind-link in his chest.It flickered like a flame about to go out.He used to feel everything Linda felt through the mind-link: her anger, her hurt, her sadness.He'd always known.And every time, he'd tried to make it up to her.He'd believed that once he made it up to her, the pain disappeared.He had never imagined the link between them could become so fragile.The Elder called. "Alpha, we're still dealing with the fallout from the interrupted ceremony. The pack can't be without its Alpha. You have to come back and do your duty.""I need time." His voice was raw."You don't have time. The pack's image has taken a hit, and outside forces are watching. As Alpha, your duty comes before your feelings." The Elder took a breath and tried again. "Once the rejection ceremony is over, you can choose another Luna."The call ended.Isaac sat

Lately, Seth had been showing up outside my apartment building all the time.He always said he was in the area and offered me a ride, but somehow, he'd have my favorite coffee and a little cake waiting for me in the car.Amy sat in the back. As soon as I climbed into the front seat, she said, "Linda, today's cake is raspberry. My brother said you seem to like things a little tart."I paused, then took the little cake and bit into it.Just the right amount of sweet and tart.And it was exactly the flavor I liked."Thank you. It's delicious," I said."He guessed right!" Amy said.Seth smiled.He started the car, keeping his eyes on the road. "I didn't guess. I observed, then I deduced."I laughed. With the two of them around, life felt a lot lighter.What surprised me was that Isaac didn't hurry back to London.He rented an apartment in Berlin and waited outside the company entrance for me every day.He filled my dressing room with gifts: custom pointe shoes, an antique necklace from an

Seth saw my expression and asked quietly, "Need a hand?"I shook my head.I knew Isaac would find me sooner or later.And I'd been waiting for him to."All right." Seth patted Amy's shoulder. "We'll head out, then. Call me if you need anything."I watched them leave, then turned back. Isaac stared at me without blinking."Who is he?" His voice was hoarse."That's none of your business," I said flatly, even as my chest tightened.I couldn't tell whether the pain in my chest was mine or his."Linda—" Isaac stepped toward me and reached for my hand.I stepped back, out of reach."Isaac, you came all this way, but my answer hasn't changed." I took a breath and kept my voice calm. "When I told you we were over, I wasn't joking."I looked away and continued, "I'm tired of always coming second to Chloe. I'm tired of you putting her first, then trying to make it up to me.""No! It's not like that!" Isaac cut in desperately. "Linda, I know I was wrong. I swear, from now on—""There is no from n

The top headline read: "Bonding Ceremony Suddenly Halted, Bride's Identity a Mystery."I didn't even click on it.I was backstage, preparing for my first performance at the Berlin State Opera.I took a deep breath and rose onto my toes.My pointe shoes squeezed my toes, and somehow the pressure steadied me.Four years.I'd thought I would never step onto a stage again.The lights came up.I lifted my arms and let the music run through my whole body.Fouetté. Turn. Leap.With every leap, the weight that had pressed on my chest for four years fell away.I felt like a swan that had been chained for years, finally breaking free and spreading her wings.The music ended, and the house lights came up.Applause rose and swept over me like a wave.The lights burned hot. I was breathless, and I closed my eyes and let myself take it all in.This moment belonged to me and no one else.Jess was off to the side, filming me on her phone.Her eyes were red. One hand covered her mouth as she tried not

At six on the morning of the bonding ceremony, Isaac woke up.Out of habit, he rolled over and reached for Linda's side of the bed, only to find cold sheets.Isaac lay still as sleep drained from him. Then he remembered that Linda had been staying at her own house for the past few days.He tried to reach her through the mind-link.Nothing came back.He tried again.It was as if the link had been swallowed whole. All that remained was a hollow echo.Before, even when Linda was angry with him, he could still feel her there.Every breath she took was like a thread tugging at him, telling him she'd always be beside him.Now that thread felt ready to snap.Isaac sat up as a panic he couldn't explain swept through him.He called Linda. No answer.Then he called Chloe, who sounded relaxed. "Linda's probably just nervous."Isaac gripped the phone, frozen.He told himself Linda was only angry. Once the ceremony was over, he would make up for everything that had happened over the past few days.

The day after the mix-up, Isaac had every announcement with the wrong name taken down.The head of PR was replaced too.He came to see me himself and set the corrected statement on the table. "Linda, I promise nothing like this will ever happen again."I didn't look up. I kept stretching at the barre.He stood there for a while, then said, "The rite is Thursday night. The Elders will all be there.""Okay," I said.Traditionally, a rite honoring the Moon Goddess had to be performed before the bonding ceremony.Isaac and I would stand side by side inside the circle, hold hands, and summon the moon's resonance.If the resonance was strong enough, all 12 stones around the circle would light up at once, proving that the Moon Goddess blessed the match.Everyone knew it was just a formality.After all, the Moon Goddess had already chosen me as Isaac's fated mate.But no one expected what happened at our rite.On the open grounds in front of the Kane estate, Isaac held out his hand to me.His
