My Second Chance With The Alpha 21. New truths
The moon was still shining bright in the sky when Marcus and I reached my dorm. I was looking down at my fumbling fingers as the car came to a halt, and felt Marcus’ eye on me. We stayed there in silence, unable to figure out how to proceed from there. After what felt like eternity, I finally broke the ice.“I think I should get going.” I mumbled, “Thank you so much for today, Marcus, truly.”He gave me a heartfelt smile, “Of course.”“I’ll see you tomorrow at school then?”“Sure, have a good night.”“You too.”When I got down the car, I finally felt like I could breathe the air in. I let out a sigh of relief. As much as I loved his company today it was borderline suffocating, not because of him, but because of the new situation that we found ourselves in. I genuinely appreciated whatever he did for me till now, but our new found desire for each other overwhelmed me. Simply, I didn’t know what to think. I didn’t know if I wanted to be happy or sad. Did I even have a future with him? W
My Second Chance With The Alpha 22. Mark my words
Having caught no sleep the entire night, my eyelids felt heavy, but sleep still evaded me. When a beam of light escaped through my blinds, I realized that it was breaking into a dawn and I might as well start getting ready for school. After an hour or so, I found myself walking towards my school building, not failing to notice the empty parking lot. I couldn’t spot his car in it, but again, he could’ve also parked it in the basement. Trying to ignore the potential disappointment in my mind, I made my way to his office anyway, sincerely hoping that he had come. True to my fear, he didn’t. I sighed at the sight of his empty office, not even a thing out of place. The man surely knew how to stay organized. Maybe I could come back during lunch, I thought, and made my way to my first class which was chemistry. I shared this class with Leslie, and the reminder made me groan. I was not ready to face her today. I was already running on a low battery, picking a fight with her was not on my l
My Second Chance With The Alpha 23. Better than me
Asher’s POV My mind was still disturbed when I pulled into the driveway of my parent’s house. While I spent most of my days at the house where I live with the boys, I often found myself coming back to my parents’ whenever I felt like I needed a break from school. Today was one such day. Ever since Kiara entered my life, it felt as though everything was going downhill for me. My relationship with Leslie had been affected, and she was now more insecure about herself than ever before. She had always been possessive about me and constantly demanded my attention, but lately, her obsession was off the charts. Unlike Kiara, Leslie knew exactly what it meant to be somebody’s mate, hence why she completely understood and felt threatened by my unavoidable interest in what was happening in Kiara’s life. Tyler had reminded me time and again that since I rejected her, I essentially had no say in how she decides to cope with things, but somehow, I wasn’t able to wrap my mind around it. I just co
My Second Chance With The Alpha 24. Against nature's norms
I looked at my father in apprehension. I was surprised to see his disappointment with my decision. Wouldn’t he have done the same? “Yes,” I said, “Because it was Kiara Walce. How could I ever accept her to be my mate?”He gave me an incredulous look, as though my reason wasn’t logical enough. In his eyes, I was scared to find some disappointment. On his side, my mother held similar expressions of regret and sympathy, which honestly didn’t make me feel any better. “I don’t care who it was, Asher. Do you even know what it means to reject a mate?” He said, “You cannot go against nature’s norms like that. You might have just cost this pack its future heir.” I looked at him incredulously, “Dad, you cannot be serious right now,” I said, “Rejecting my mate doesn’t mean I can’t be with anyone else. You know I love Leslie right? I intend to be with her forever.”“But she is not your mate, son.”His reasoning was only increasing my inner turmoil. I was already struggling to deal with the con
My Second Chance With The Alpha 25. False allegations
Kiara’s POV My feet were tapping against the floor below as I waited for the clock to strike ten. I was currently sitting outside the principal’s office, waiting for the rest of the party to join us. Principal Sherman had asked everyone including Asher, his parents and Leslie’s parents to join the meeting to discuss the recent complaint I had raised against him. As time passed, I only started to grow more nervous as it was the first time I would essentially be defending myself against such important members of the pack. I wished Marcus had been by my side today, as he always seemed to know what to do when it pertained to matters involving Asher. More than his moral support, his defense in my case would’ve helped me tremendously, as he had seen what Asher had to me in the past. His words would undoubtedly weigh significance. Sighing, I opened my phone for what felt like a thousandth time since yesterday, but I still failed to receive any reply from Marcus. Minutes later, I found my
My Second Chance With The Alpha 26. Evidence
“I do not wish to study in a place where I have such a threat from people like her,” Asher said, “I demand that she is kicked out of here.” Suddenly, I felt as though the life that I managed to build for myself was shattering before my eyes. With the Alpha involved, he posed a great threat to my scholarship. If that was revoked, I would again have to depend on the Stones for my education and there was no chance in hell that they would support me. They were merely waiting for a chance to ruin my life, and I had presented it to them on a silver platter. How stupid had I been to think this was a good idea! If only I had stopped myself yesterday from going to the Principal’s office. It wasn’t like what Asher had done was anything new to me. I had been mentally and physically abused all my life. If I had endured it a little longer, I would have had the opportunity to get away from here once and for all. Now I lost the only chunk of hope I held on to in life. I was back to square one. E
My Second Chance With The Alpha 27. You don't know anything
“Marcus, wait a second,” Alpha Darren said, “I hope you’re not mistaken because-” “I can assure you that I am not, Alpha Darren.” He said, “Infact, I’m going to go ahead and bring it to everyone’s notice and Kiara is not just abused by him but also Leslie Stone and the entire school. This is something Principal Sherman has to look into and take strict action.” I quivered at the scene that unfolded before me. What was he doing? I wished that I could somehow escape this room and run far, far away. I didn’t want any of this to happen. I didn’t need to garner more attention from everyone than I already did. For years, I had stayed away from the wrath of Benson, for I knew that it wasn’t something I could endure time and again. Just the thought of it was making me tremble, silently praying that Marcus would keep Leslie out of this. If the Principal ended up taking any action against her, Benson would never forgive me. I also couldn’t help but worry about what this said about my relation
My Second Chance With The Alpha 28. A Challenge
The restaurant was busier than usual for a Tuesday, forcing me to arrive early. The business was usually better on the weekends, but some special occasions call for extra duty hours. I could hardly complain about my situation because this was exactly what I needed. If left alone with my thoughts, I was sure that I would go crazy anytime soon. Most of my evening was spent juggling between tables, scribbling down orders on my notepad and fetching dishes from the kitchen. It was the usual drill, and on days like this it felt therapeutic. I enjoyed the monotony of it, the predictability of what would come after what. Doing things like this made me feel less tired, as it ultimately left the pressure off my mind, which is what drains me the most. However, every once in a while, I couldn’t help but let Marcus into my thoughts, and everytime he tried to enter the confines of my heart, it would painfully clasp shut. I hated my logical mind that wouldn’t just let me give into the temptation
