Second Chance Alpha 8.
Ana’s POVI slam the door closed and pace in front of the window. My heart thuds rapidly in my chest and I take deep breaths to calm myself. My hands are cold and I can feel the blood draining away from my face.How did this happen? What grave offence had I committed that the moon goddess had to punish so cruelly? And how was I going to explain that I was a living fraud? Possessing the body of another woman? If Len and Logan, not to mention the rest of the pack, found out that I was an imposter, they might have me killed for deceiving them.I pace the length of the room, running my fingers through my hair. My eyes shift rapidly as I try to make sense of the events of the past few days. It’s all too much and suddenly, I feel like there isn’t enough oxygen in the room.I’m about to step out of the room again when the doors swing open and Len and Logan walk in, both looking concerned. My mouth drops open in shock but I school my expression quickly and pin them with a look.“What are you

Len’s POVI pulled my arm from under Selene’s neck where she had fallen asleep, exhausted yet and turned over onto my side with my arm propped up against head. In the quiet of the large room, I watched her sleep. My ears picked up every small inhale into her lungs, the soft rustling of sheets as she snuggled into Logan’s arms. Selene looked… softer, warmer even. It was an odd thing to think or even realize especially since this was a woman I had known and loved for far too long. Which was exactly why none of it made sense. Selene wasn’t a soft woman. Sure, she was far more beautiful than words could describe and her womanly nature wasn’t ever in question but one wouldn’t look at Selene and call her soft. No, she was powerful and passionate and fierce, in bed and out. She was never vulnerable, never shy or meek. Her strength and power were one of the many things that I loved about her. Yet, the woman lying next to me wasn’t that.She was the same but different. Her face looked peacef

Ana’s POVThe sun streamed in through the open curtains, warming my face. I moaned and rolled away from the unwanted light, seeking any of the warm bodies I had slept with the night before. My eyes pried open slowly when my hands met cold, empty sheets on either side. I sat up carefully, still sore between my legs and frowned as I realized I was alone and had been for a few hours.I blinked away sleep from my eyes and took a look around the large, extravagantly decorated room. It felt like… too much. It was nothing like my old room in my old life. That’s because its my room, not yours.I frowned even deeper at Selene’s voice in my head. I still hadn't gotten used to hearing my wolf, considering she died when I turned nineteen and none of the pack doctors could figure out why.Selene, I greeted.Good to know you aren’t shutting me out, considering you did just that last night while fucking my mates.I could tell that Selena was joking from the lightheartedness of her tone but I felt m

Ana’s POV“Selene!” I spin at the sound of my name and suck in a frightened breath when I realize Len is standing right behind me. I stumble back, a hand held to my chest as I bite out a curse.“How did you get over here so fast?” I shudder out, looking up at him.“You’re faster.” Len said, his words cold and tight. I took in his facial expressions and my eyes widened when I realized he was mad. A muscle in his jaw ticked, probably because he was grinding it and he was even bigger than I knew he was up close and slick with sweat from the morning sun.“Yeah.” I answered weakly, unsure of what he expected me to say.“Don’t you agree?” Len prodded, taking a step forward. I took one back.“Uh, w-what do you mean?” I asked, blinking up at him.“You’re faster than me. Stronger too. Or don’t you agree? Do you think I could beat you in a race? Right now?” Len said, his lips quivering into a sinister smile, completely devoid of humor. I swallowed thickly, unsure what was happening. My heart

Ana's POVWhat are you doing here?” I ask, scrambling to my feet. Zach grinned at me even as his eyes assessed the situation. He lingered momentarily on Len before looking back at me.“Just stopping by to check in on you. Although, I was indeed not expecting to find you in such a… precarious position.” Zach said with a smile that didn't quite reach his eyes. “Len.” He said, finally acknowledging the man who had been on top of me a few seconds ago.“Alpha Zach.” Len responds, his voice steady, emotionless.“I trust you're feeling better now, Selene. You certainly look it.” Zach said, his eyes subtly moving down my body and up again.“I'm perfectly fine. The only thing I have a problem with is you being here.” I said sharply, looking him dead in the eyes.“Selene…”“No. I made it clear last night. I reject you. I don't want you as my mate. And I certainly don't need an alliance with your pack.” Ana, Selene called in my head but I shut her down.Zach shared a glance with Len who remai

ANA'S POVMy heart was racing as I walked back into the palace. What the hell had gotten into me? I couldn't even blame myself. I was going through so many emotions at the same time. My eyes were tearing up as I finally stormed into my room, slamming the door behind me. I sat on the bed, trying to catch my breath. It wasn't working. I tried looking at myself in the mirror, but I knew I wouldn't be able to face myself either. I might have disgraced Zach, but the look on his face hurt me. No. I couldn't feel any kind of compassion towards him. Not after everything that he had done. Not after everything he put me through. So why the hell was I feeling bad?I was still lost in my thoughts when the door burst open. I knew who it was before I even turned. “What the hell was that for?” Len asked, with his brows furrowed. “None of your business,” I muttered, and he was beside me before I even blinked. “You can't just humiliate the man without a good reason. And as far as I remember, you

ANA'S POV Logan's hands were protectively on my thigh through the drive. He was continuously looking between me, and his hand on my thigh like there was something wrong. ‘Take it off, I don't allow that,’ Selene said immediately, and I was throwing Logan's hands like it was the most disgusting thing to exist. He chuckled immediately, like it felt right. Who were these men? And how the hell did Selene live with being so aggressive? And to think they were comfortable with it. It was obvious that Selene was actually a nice person. Maybe not physically, but at heart. She had planned a visit to an orphanage right? Only a nice person would do that. “We're here, Alpha,” the driver said, and Len was already out, opening the door for me. I looked up at him, trying not to allow the butterflies to take over at the sight of him. I got out, and he had his hand firmly on my waist as he led me into the building. I paused in my tracks as I looked at the orphanage. There was something about it th

ANA'S POV Lina was back before the matter could escalate more than that. My hands were still on Anna's shoulders. I held her closer than ever. I saw myself in her. There was no denying that. The pain in her eyes were more than recognizable. “Did something happen?” Lina asked looking between me, Anna and the other kids. “I would like to take Anna home,” I said, tipping my chin. Lina frowned. “But you had specifically said that you would never be adopting any child throughout your reign. I can clearly remember our conversation on that.”I almost screamed, and told her that Selene had made that decision. Not me. I took on a deep breath. “Well, I have changed my mind. I want to take her home. Can you get the documents ready?” I asked in the most nicest way that I could muster.She nodded immediately. “Please come with me.”I noticed that her mouth was fixed in a thin line. She definitely didn't look happy as she prepared the documents. I looked down at Anna, and she finally smiled as

ANA'S POV I looked at myself one more time in the mirror. On a normal day, I might have been happy that I looked stunning putting on a burgundy dress that clung to my skin and black heels that screamed elegance. My hair was in a rough bun at the top of my head, and I allowed the loose curls to frame my face. I went with the most minimal amount of makeup which was lipgloss and eyeliner. That was the best I could do. I didn't want to go to that party anyway. For Anna. I continuously whispered. I grabbed my black bag as I headed out. I was thankful that I didn't get to see Len or Logan on my way out. If not, I would have been throwing my shoes off my feet immediately. I spotted Zach's black car as soon as I got outside. He was sitting inside, with his eyes on me like a predator. I opened the door myself, and got in. Somewhere at the back of my mind, I didn't want to start comparing him to Len or Logan and their gentlemanliness. “Good evening, Alpha Selene,” he said in a voice that m

LOGAN'S POV The scream that I heard was unmistakably Anna's. I hurried to the backyard, where the other maids said they were earlier. I wasn't wrong. She was still screaming, while Selene stood there in shock, staring at a cat that laid on the floor… dead. Selene managed to compose herself, as she pulled Anna to herself, trying to comfort the little girl. “What happened?” I asked, and she stared at me, giving me a weird look. “The scones that the maid brought were fucking poisoned. Anna and I almost ate them. Anna would have been in that cat's position.” I heard her voice falter at the end. Even at a time like this, she wasn't even thinking about herself. Why the fuck will she want to eat something that a stranger had given her? What if something else had happened? What if they hadn't fed it to the cat first? “Why would you have something a stranger gave to you?” I asked, and she frowned, holding Anna closer. “You sent her to give them to me,” she said in an accusing tone, and I

ANA’S POVI followed Selene’s natural instincts chasing the shadow running further into an abandoned area of the pack house that I didn't know existed. The speed Selene had was all new to me, surprising me with each step. As I finally got to the wall at the very end of the west wing, I realized I had been led to a dead end somehow and no one was there. I was about to turn back when I heard a little movement at the other end of the hall. The shadow passed again, quicker this time. I quickly followed it, quietly this time, holding my breath. This time I was being led outside the pack house. A part of me screamed that this was a trap. An obvious one but at this moment I didn't care. I needed to find out the truth.I followed the shadow outside, walking past the gates. I continued following the shadow, making sure to keep my eyes on it even if there were countless other shadows from the trees in the woods. I looked up for some reason, recognizing the particular place that Selene had lai

ANA’S POVIf I couldn’t provide an heir for the pack just yet, but I could at least fulfil the other duties that I was supposed to do. Len had just informed me about the fact that I had barely gone through any of the pack business’ files. All the alliances and contracts that were supposed to be signed. It was almost as if all the time that I had been doing other things was a sort of break. Logan was nice enough to lead me right to the place where the said office was. If I wasn’t around him all the time, I would have guessed that he already knew that I wasn’t the actual Selene. I was scared to walk in myself when he was there. He held his hands in the air, and gave a sweet smile. “I’d leave you to it. I need to investigate the murdered assassins anyway.”I nodded, and watched him leave. I peeked into the room. It was almost the same thing as whatever they said Selene might like. The room was almost monochrome. Most of the things were in white. Only the cupboards and tables were spare
Second Chance Alpha 30.
ANA'S POV I stood right in the middle of the garden, watering my plants that I myself had planted. In a pack like this, the garden was the only place that I seemed to find solitude. Except in the company of Logan and Len of course. I was so attached to them, that I didn't even allow the maids to water them for me. I made sure to water every part of it, and transplant the ones that needed it. I took my gloves off, and stood back to admire my work. “Selene!” I heard someone scream, making me turn back immediately. Who screamed my name like that?I turned to listen. Someone screamed my name again. Just then, a peculiar scent hit my nose. I wanted to ignore it so bad, but I knew that it wasn't from any of our pack members. It was definitely another wolf nearby. But there was a voice in the back of my head, forcing me to urge further. I followed the scent and before I knew it, I was heading out of the back gates. I looked back, wanting to head back to my garden. I wanted to go back to o

ANA'S POV “What do you mean ‘shift’?” I asked, looking at Logan with my eyes wide. He frowned, looking into my eyes, like he never wants to look away. “Don’t tell me you’ve forgotten how to shift as well.” I might have done it before, but that was because I was under pressure. I didn't know how I was supposed to do it again. “Of course I remember,” I said, slapping his hand and letting out a fake laugh. “It’s something I’ve done for years.”He exhaled. “Well, if you’re having a hard time doing it, you can just calm down, breathe in and out, connect with your wolf, and let her take over.” Then he paused. “After you woke up, your wolf has been speaking to you, right?”“More than ever,” I said, remembering every single one of Selene’s taunting. Just as if she could feel it, she shushed me. “Now, keep quiet and let me take control.” I nodded, breathing in and out just as Logan had asked me to. I could feel my limbs curling into fists on their own accord, with

ANA'S POVA little ruffling on the bed managed to wake me up. Len was still sleeping beside me for the first time. We had forgotten to let the curtain down. I smiled to myself as I stretched out. I looked up just in time to see Logan trying to leave the room. “Where are you going?” I whispered, trying not to wake Len up. It was the first time I had seen Len without a frown on his forehead. He looked so peaceful, with his lashes casting a shadow on his face. I held myself back from running my hands through the contours of his lips. “I didn't want to wake you up. I was in the mood for a hunt.”I frowned. “You hunt?”“Yes. And you seem to have no interest in it. Ever.”It was almost as if Logan had already accepted the fact that I had forgotten a few things. I was glad that I didn't have to be explaining things to him. “Oh,” I said, standing up. How could Selene never have interest in something so exciting? “Well, I think I'm ready to learn now. Can I join in?”A huge smile appeared o

ANA’S POVI turned back, meeting the eyes of my mother that I could never erase from my memory. Ever.There was a small smile on her face that faded immediately she saw me. I felt my throat closing up again. Wasn’t there a thing where parents recognized their kids no matter how they tried to disguise? Why wasn’t my mom holding me yet? Why wasn’t she crying as she patted my hair? Why wasn’t she telling me that she wanted to apologize for all the times that she ignored me all through my childhood? That she was sorry for not listening to me when I complained about things?Instead, she was staring straight into my eyes, and I found myself raising my chin. She couldn’t see me sad or weak. It didn’t matter if she didn’t recognize me or not. I was still Anna somewhere in my head. “My daughter used to come here a lot,” she said, and I couldn’t even hold back my snort. Why was she suddenly trying to talk to Selene like she knew all about me? She frowned as she
Second Chance Alpha 26.
ANA’S POVSomewhere at the back of my head, they could recognize me. They were looking like shells of themselves. Where were their plastic smiles? Why wasn’t it there? I found myself holding my breath. They barely glanced at me as they walked past. I was hurt. I felt myself exhale quickly. My legs were shaky. The world was spinning. I wished I had braced myself up for something like this. My mind was getting filled up with memories of me and them together. Playing at the park together, having breakfast together, going to the market together. Every single nice memory that I had with them. I shut my eyes, trying to stop it all from coming. I just couldn’t. I felt a hand on my shoulder, and I flinched immediately, turning back.“Hey, calm down. It’s just me,” Len said, placing his hands on the small of my back. I felt the sweat dripping down my back. He frowned, as he looked me over. “Are you okay?”I nodded, with my legs and hands shaking. I didn’t know how I was supposed to stop pani
