Second Turning Chapter 9
As dusk settled in, the last of the party guests trickled out. I slipped into my PJs and hopped into bed.Damon was next to me, looking like a tomato, all red-faced and fidgety.I tapped the mattress, teasing him, saying, "What's with the shyness? You're not planning on sleeping solo forever, are you?"He finally got into his nightwear and crawled into bed, inching until he sat beside me. I snuggled up to his shoulder, my fingers dancing across his pecs."We weren't exactly close before. Why are you being so nice to me?" I whispered."Nice?" His voice was scratchy, like he had swallowed sandpaper."You're not worried about the rumors, are you? About marrying a girl who got ditched by Alpha Iris?"Damon murmured, "Ignore the haters. I'm the lucky one here. Iris' loss is my gain."His words were like a soft breeze, making my heart flutter with a sweet, spreading warmth."I've got a secret," Damon said, smiling. "I've had a crush on you for ages."I looked at him, my eyes wide w
Second Turning Chapter 8
The day of the bonding ceremony dawned.I was up with the sun, getting my glam on. Damon scooped me up in his arms like I weighed nothing, and we headed for the banquet hall.I sneaked a peek at his profile—he was nothing like Iris. Iris was the textbook snooty blueblood, with that wild-child vibe and a smirk that just screamed trouble.Damon was the real deal—a gentleman through and through. He was all about precision and poise. His nose was like a sculpture, and his lips, sealed in a straight line, made him look serene. Some folks would call a guy like him ice-cold, but I had seen him put his life on the line for me.That thought alone sent a wave of warmth through me. It was like history was repeating itself, but it was a whole new ballgame this time.Out of nowhere, the wedding car procession ground to a halt. I looked up, and there was Iris, suited up and sporting the groom's boutonniere, smack in the middle of the road.The nerve! The guy was off his rocker.Damon moved to

I felt sick to my stomach."What's going on with you? I thought Ruby was your girl?"He saw me turn to leave and quickly got to his feet, reaching out to stop me.However, Ruby yanked on his arm."Sophie, hold up! You must hear me out. You're the only one in my mind.""That's not what you said before. You told me once we were married, we'd lead our own lives, no meddling," I said."I was kidding. How could I ever mean that?"His face was a mix of desperation and honesty.I might have fallen for it if I had not been through what I had in my previous life.Ruby's tears came fast when she heard him."Alpha Iris, how could you say those things? You told me you liked me. You said I was more beautiful and lovable than my sister. You promised to mark me. That's why I—""Enough!" Iris snapped, slashing her with his claws, just like he had done to me once.Ruby's face was instantly marked with five bright red lines."This is all your fault! If it weren't for you, why would Sophie b

The rumor mill was in overdrive outside."Can you believe Iris stood up to the High King for Sophie?""I heard she picked Damon. Now, Iris and Sophie's sister are thick as thieves.""Man, things are heating up. It's wild, right?"I ignored all the whispers and chatter. My mind was on the future—my wedding with Damon was set for next month.Damon had come to me a few days back. His eyes locked on mine for the longest time before he finally broke the silence."If you're having second thoughts, I can talk to the High King to call off our engagement.""Why would I be having second thoughts?" I said, my voice steady as a rock."I know you had a thing for Alpha Iris once." There was a hint of hurt in his voice that he could not quite hide.That took me back to my previous life when Damon had gone to the ends of the earth for me, nearly sacrificing it all.I felt my eyes welled up."Yeah, I had feelings for him once, but that's history.""Why?" He sounded like he could not believe

The room was abuzz with hushed voices that quickly grew louder."Can you believe it?""Is she really picking Damon over Iris?""She's betraying Iris? No way! That can't be right!"Iris's face lost all color. His hands balled into fists, rage written all over him.He spun around to face the High King, his eyes wide with shock and disbelief. "High King, there's got to be some mistake, right?"The High King just gave him an icy look and let out a mocking laugh.His second-in-command picked up where he left off.The second-in-command's voice was icy as he reminded everyone, saying, "The High King has said it loud and clear: Sophie's chosen Damon."Iris yelled, his voice laced with disbelief, "That's impossible! Sophie, tell them! You picked me, didn't you?"It was me you chose!" His eyes were desperate, as if he could not trust his own ears.I kept my voice calm. "I chose Damon."Damon gave me a soft, warm smile.Iris, though, was beyond furious, and he lunged forward."You'r
Second Turning Chapter 4
The sting on my cheek felt like a burn, and my inner wolf seethed with anger.I wanted to lash out, but a quick glance at the onlookers held me back. I had to get out of there.Ruby smirked, clearly pleased with herself.Iris, realizing he had lost his cool, reached out to help me up, but Ruby clung to him."Honey, my legs are hurting. Can you check on them for me?" she cooed, her voice feigning frailty.The crowd watched, murmuring to each other."Sophie must be so desperate for a guy that she'd even take down her sister. That's low."Iris's gaze was full of loathing."Sophie, what have you done? Getting your attention is the worst luck."His wolf pack buddies snickered behind him, enjoying the drama."Sophie, you'd even go after your sister. If Alpha Iris had a circle of female friends, would you lose it?""Ha! Maybe Sophie could take on the whole pack. She might shred every girl that would dare hang around Alpha Iris."Back then, I trained in combat just for Iris, vowing
