VALRIK’S POV

“Spread out,” I barked, pushing through the branches that snagged at my cloak.

Warriors flanked me on either side; some held torches and others had already shifted into their wolf form, noses buried into the ground as they searched for her.

Lyra.

We had been looking for over two hours, no sign of her yet.

“Igor, try to contact her wolf again,” I said through gritted teeth.

‘I am,’ he growled back. ‘I still can't get to her. Something’s in the way…I don’t know.’

Fuck. My gut twisted.

What had happened to them?

The Misty Forest grew denser the farther in we went. The fog rolled low and the forest itself reeked of rot and damp moss. It was harder to scent anything in this mess. Harder to track. Still, we kept moving.

The deeper we went, the more I knew—we were approaching the swamp.

I remembered the reports over the years. Old ones. Most people had dismissed them. Not me. The swamp was the most treacherous part of this forest. The terrain was unpredictable, with sudden dr

  • Second Chance with the Alpha King   Chapter 20: The Hunt Begins

    JOAZ’S POVThe throne room slowly emptied. I stayed where I was, slouched lazily against a pillar, watching it all with hooded eyes.Valrik’s rage had practically scorched the walls. He’d stormed out already, heading straight for the Misty Forest with half the palace guards at his heels.Good. Let him tear through the trees like a madman.Seeing as he had purposely left me out of the hunt, I had other plans.Once the hall was empty and silence fully settled in, I pushed off the pillar, hands stuffed deep into the pockets of my black coat, and wandered toward the guest wing.I knew where she’d be. I knew because rats always returned to the same holes.The corridor was deserted as I walked through and when I found the right door, I didn’t hesitate.I turned the handle slowly, slipped inside, and shut it behind me with a soft click.The room was dark, only faint moonlight bleeding through the thin curtains.She wasn't around. So I would wait. I leaned casually against the wall beside th

  • Second Chance with the Alpha King   Chapter 19: Missing

    VALRIK’S POV“Where is Lyra!?” I yelled, asking for the umpteenth time. Having summoned an emergency meeting, I sat on my throne, and kneeling in front of me were the palace maids, soldiers, even a few Queen Luna candidates, their foreheads pressed to the ground. Some of the maids were on the verge of tears. A few soldiers could barely keep their bodies from collapsing completely.Only Joaz wasn't kneeling, lounging lazily against a pillar with his arms crossed over his chest. Fucking bastard. He should be on his knees too.Lyra had been missing for hours. Hours.I’d already torn the entire palace apart looking for her. And still—nothing.Igor roared inside me, thrashing against my control, nearly snapping free.It took everything I had to keep him chained down. Because if he came out in this state, he'd tear everyone apart. “M-My King,” one of the palace maids whispered from where she kneeled, “This morning, Miss Lyra went to look for Miss Mabel in her room. But Miss Mabel wasn’t

  • Second Chance with the Alpha King   Chapter 18: His Wolf's Demand

    VALRIK’S POVMy wolf snarled inside me, pacing, snapping his teeth, restless as hell.‘Claim her. Take her. Mark her.’ The words never left me. Day and night, Igor made sure they pounded through my skull like war drums, louder, more urgent with every hour that passed.But I couldn't.I wouldn't.Not while Sybil was still alive. I slammed my fist into the stone wall beside my bed, cracking it down the center.Still, it wasn’t enough to quiet the beast.Two fucking days. Two days of nothing but madness, so much I could barely think straight.And no matter how hard I tried to fight it, I could still feel her.That girl.Her scent, her voice, her taste in the back of my throat.Goddess help me, I was losing control.I dragged a hand through my hair and barked out a sharp order through the mind-link to my Beta.“Bring me someone. Now. Anyone. Attractive. Willing. I don't care.”If Igor wouldn’t calm the fuck down, I’d find a way to force him to.I sat on the edge of the bed, shirtless, l

  • Second Chance with the Alpha King   Chapter 17: No Way Out

    LYRA'S POVThe moment I saw Brenna standing above me, smirking with her arms folded across her chest, it hit me.This was a trap.I glared up at her through the pain clouding my vision. But the anger bubbling inside me burned hotter than the agony.“You planned this,” I spat, “You set me up!”Brenna didn’t even blink at the accusation. She just laughed. Her friends, clustered around her like a pack of hyenas, chuckled along. None of them looked remotely surprised to see me bleeding and broken at the bottom of a pit.Brenna leaned casually against the trunk of a nearby tree, “Don’t bother yelling,” she said with a shrug, “I tricked the border guards into leaving their posts. No one’s coming to save you.”Her smile widened, “You’re either gonna starve down there… or get torn apart by something worse.”“Where’s Mabel?” I gritted my teeth, “She wasn’t in her room this morning. What did you do to her?”“You don’t get to ask questions,” she snapped, “Worry about yourself, slut.”And witho

  • Second Chance with the Alpha King   Chapter 16: Into the Trap

    LYRA’S POVI woke up the next morning excited to find Mabel, to see if she was still up for training together like we promised.After freshening up, I stopped by her room first, knocking lightly. When no answer came, I tried the handle—unlocked. I poked my head inside, but the room was empty. No sign of her anywhere.A maid walked by, balancing a basket of clean towels on her hip.I caught her attention. “Excuse me,” I said. “Have you seen Mabel?”The maid blinked, then smiled. “Miss Mabel went for a run in the forest this morning,” she said kindly. “If you’re looking for her, you might want to check there.”“Thank you,” I said quickly and hurried down the hallway and slipped outside. I made my way into the forests and after a while, I started to call out for her. “Mabel?” I called out, cupping my hands around my mouth. “It’s Lyra! Are you out here?”Only birds answered me. I frowned but pressed deeper in. Maybe she’d run further than I thought. I wonder why she had decided to tak
