Caitlyn’s POV

The storm outside raged as if the heavens themselves were at war. Thunder cracked through the sky, shaking the windows of my small bakery, while the rain pounded against the glass. It was the kind of night that made the hairs on my arms stand on end, though I knew deep down that it wasn’t the storm outside that unsettled me. It was the one brewing inside my home.

Kane had barely slept since the last nightmare, and when he did, he woke up shaking, drenched in sweat, whispering things in a voice that wasn’t his. I had stayed by his side all night, but exhaustion clawed at my limbs. Even Raymond, who rarely showed concern openly, hovered nearby, eyes sharp with worry.

And then there was Lily—my wolf—who had been restless ever since the rogue’s death. She paced in my mind, ears perked, sniffing at something I couldn’t see. It was as if an unseen force was pulling at her spirit, and she didn’t like it. Nei

  • My Second Mate Is Alpha King   Chapter 53 Shadows in the Dark

    Caitlyn’s POVThe nightmares started two nights after the rogue died in my bakery.At first, I thought Kane was just restless. But then, I noticed how his small body would jolt awake, drenched in sweat, his hands clenched into fists. His breathing was uneven, his golden eyes flickering with something I couldn’t place. It wasn’t just a bad dream. It was something more.“Mom,” Kane whispered one night, gripping my arm as I sat on the edge of his bed. His voice was hoarse, like he had been screaming in his sleep. “They keep calling my name.”A chill ran down my spine. “Who does, sweetheart?”“The wolves with glowing eyes.”My heart pounded. “Glowing eyes?” I repeated, brushing damp curls from his forehead.Kane nodded, his face pale under the dim light of the bedside lamp. “They stand in the dark, just watching me. But then they start whispering my name.

  • My Second Mate Is Alpha King   Chapter 52 The Calm Before the Storm

    Caitlyn’s POVThe past few days had been a haze of slow recovery and unspoken words. Raymond was still healing, though his stubbornness made him a difficult patient. More than once, I had caught him trying to move around the house when he should have been resting. His pride wouldn’t allow him to admit weakness, even when his body screamed for respite. I had to scold him—sometimes gently, sometimes with more force—but it never fully stopped him.Kane and Jane had settled into our lives in a way that felt both unexpected and inevitable. Their presence filled the space between us with laughter and warmth. Jane’s boundless energy and innocent questions often made even the most serious moments feel lighter, while Kane’s quiet, watchful nature reminded me of Raymond in ways neither of them would ever admit.And yet, beneath it all, something still felt off—like the tension in the air before a storm breaks the sky apart.

  • My Second Mate Is Alpha King   Chapter 51 Together, Always

    Caitlyn's POVI listened to Raymond's confession, but it didn't stir a thing inside me.Oh, Lily! Men are always like this—when you need them, they act indifferent, ignoring your needs, and you always come last."Raymond, I don't need your words. You don't have to keep coming back."Raymond seemed sad, his grip tightening on my arm as he shook me."Why, Caitlyn? No, it's not that... I'm worried about you. Richard ran off."I interrupted him. "Okay, Raymond. You act like you care so much, like you love me. But why do I have to accept your love? Oh! It is just ridiculous. I'm exhausted. I don't have the energy to argue with you about what's right or wrong. Maybe I'm wrong, but this is the life I want. I'm sure you know what I mean."Raymond looked at me with such deep affection, then slowly let go of my hand.I took Jane's hand and walked away. That was all I could do.I wouldn't let my emotions get caught up in this

  • My Second Mate Is Alpha King   Chapter 50 Where She Goes

    Caitlyn's POVI brought Jane back to the apartment I rented and helped her clean up. As I looked at her, my thoughts drifted to Kane.I knew Raymond would take good care of Kane, but right now, I missed him so much."What are you thinking about?"Jane's voice pulled me from my thoughts, and I looked down, realizing I had made the water too hot for her bath."Oh! Sorry, Jane!" I quickly pulled her out of the water, but Jane didn't seem upset."It's okay. I'm fine."Her calmness made me feel even worse. I wasn't sure if it was because I missed Kane or if I felt Jane's pain."Hey, Jane, I shouldn't have made the water so hot. You should have told me if it was too hot for you," I said, trying to explain.She just looked at me without saying a word. It made me feel a little helpless, but I forced a smile.I gently held Jane until she fell asleep, watching her breathing slow and steady before I finally let myself cry. I

  • My Second Mate Is Alpha King   Chapter 49 A Fresh Start

    Caitlyn's POV"Richard lied to us! Caitlyn—please! Alpha, have mercy!"I smiled, my Energy Stone glowing brightly in my hand.Escaping the villa, I hadn't just taken Richard's phone—I had taken the Energy Stone with me.I spoke slowly."Now, bring Beth to me."I released their restraints. The elders hesitated for a moment before nodding.Just as I had suspected, Beth had never truly been cast out.Jason was already dead—Raymond had killed him when he tried to kill me last time—that left only Beth. And if anyone had a reason to want me dead, it was her."Caitlyn, are you feeling proud of yourself right now?"I met Beth's gaze, my voice steady."No, Beth. I want to know—what have you done?"Beth was supposed to be a rogue, yet the Fang Pack had never truly abandoned her. They had hidden that from me."I don't know what you're talking about," she said.Her rea

    Caitlyn’s POVI saw the hesitation in Raymond's eyes.I had expected his rejection. It was just my way of saying goodbye. A farewell I had prepared for him.I didn't tell him I would leave after this.I had already made up my mind. Once this was over, it would be time for me to leave.Raymond followed me as we walked back to the entrance of Smith's private hospital.Smith was bustling around, organizing his belongings while grumbling under his breath. His irritation was so obvious I hesitated to step any closer.Up close, his face was as dark as the bottom of a frying pan."Oh, you two werewolves! Look what you've done to my yard!"I felt guilty and looked away, not wanting to meet his eyes.He kept going, ranting nonstop, and I had nothing to say for myself. I just stood there, letting him vent.I glanced back at the wreckage and frowned.Lily, we screwed up this time.The air was thick with

  • My Second Mate Is Alpha King   Chapter 47 Two Souls, One Howl

    Caitlyn's POVMy brother and I stood facing each other, his eyes full of disdain, like he was daring me to make the first move. I met his gaze and sprinted behind Richard, using my speed to land a solid hit. The impact sent me flying, but I managed to twist in the air and strike him again.I skidded across the ground, my claws scraping against the floor, leaving sparks.I had scratched Richard's eye, and the blood made him snap. The mocking look in his men's eyes vanished and turned into rage."Hey, Richard! Brother! Don't go easy on her just because she's your lover!""Losing to her would be downright embarrassing!"Richard stared at me, his expression a mix of shock and anger. My progress had caught him off guard. Just a few days ago, I was a weak, inexperienced werewolf. I was surprised—my body moved faster than my mind could keep up with, instinctively pulling off moves I didn't even know I had. Dr. Smith mu

  • My Second Mate Is Alpha King   Chapter 46 The Battle Begins

    Caitlyn's POVI woke up, staring at the ceiling above me. As I tried to sit up, a sharp pain shot through me, making me gasp and fall back. I looked down and saw bandages around my body, faint spots of blood seeping through. My mind raced, returning to the last thing I remembered before everything went black—a pair of eyes. I was sure they were Raymond's.I whispered his name, but Smith's voice cut me off."He's not here," he said calmly. "This is my private hospital. You collapsed at my doorstep, and I couldn't just leave you there, could I?"Ignoring his teasing tone, I struggled to sit up again, my voice trembling but determined."You know where Raymond is. If I'm still alive, it means he was nearby. Please don't lie to me, Smith. Please, I need to see him."My eyes were fixed on him, searching for any clue. For a moment, his expression wavered, but he quickly masked it with his usual carefree demeanor."You should be m
