The Alpha King Second Chance Mate

"Are you deliberately waiting for me to remind you to wear your makeup?" He screamed, slicing through my chain of thoughts. He hated it when he reminded me to do simple things a Luna should know; maybe I needed to stop skipping the Luna lessons. It’s been a year inside this hell, and no help was forthcoming.I almost convulsed at the sound of his voice. I rushed to the dressing table and wore my makeup as he liked it with trembling hands; the only thing I learned from Dirham successfully. When I finished, he brought out a vanilla cologne and made me wear it. I couldn’t choose, I wouldn’t want something for myself, I always did whatever he wanted. I don’t have enough balls to tell him that I think the"These heels will match." He said he loved seeing me wear the shoes as he handed me the shoes. It's a pair of glassy silver shoes that made my legs sore whenever I wore them. He said it made me look like Cinderella. He sure had a thing for fairytales despite his messed-up head. I wasn’t

I noticed a sound coming from inside, and my father finally opened the door; his eyes widened like saucers as soon as he saw me. I know they would be shocked to see I ran away because he rarely let me visit them. Since we mated, I’ve not called home. This place might look poor than the palace, but I don’t care because I didn’t get beaten every day here. “What are you doing here?” he asked after recovering from the shock. I was surprised because, for someone who hadn’t seen his daughter for almost a year, he wasn’t excited to see me. I hated how Alpha James messed up my life without so much effort; I wonder what kind of threat he must have threatened my parents to make them so unwelcome.My awful stepmother came into view as soon as she heard our voices. This woman was the sole idea of making me get mated to Alpha James. She came up with the business plan, and she made sure to drop hints until he finally suggested it himself. I hated her but not today though, I needed them to keep me

ALPHA JULIANWe walked back to the Alpha’s quarters to get ready for the meeting when Robert spoke up, “Your brother will be coming today as well with his mate so that the pressure will be more on you. You have to be ready for anything,” he advised. I nodded, already aware of what to expect at the meeting. They were trying to undermine my effort as the Alpha King, and they were trying to make me look like a fool. It was a repetitive circle, and I wonder who made the Council of Elders be my power check to start with. They were just older adults with plenty of problems.I dressed up and went to the throne room; as soon as I got there, all the elders, my father, James, my half-brother stood up as I walked into the Packhouse meeting hall. Looking at all of them, I fought the urge to hiss or roll my eyes in irritation. I can handpick a number of elders who wanted me on the throne, and they won' be up to three. I sat down on the throne while the rest bowed before taking their seats. “I wou

ROSELLAWe drove into the pack’s territory, towards the four junction roads that lead to other pack territories. I wished I had escaped to a place farther from here to maybe one of the other packs, but Alpha James’s father was the former Alpha king, so he could have easily fished me out even though it took him longer; he wouldn’t rest till he caught me.I sat shriveled up in the car, wrapping my hands around my body, avoiding the look of contempt Alpha James was giving me. I was dead tonight, and no soothsayer could tell me otherwise.“See how skinny and dirty you look. You’ve grown some guts, haven’t you? To even conceive the thoughts of running away is extremely laughable.”“I’m sorry, Alpha...” I whispered, my voice hoarse from crying too much. I've cried enough tears to last a lifetime today, and t looks like I will still cry more tonight.Sorry was all I could say, even though I knew it wouldn’t change anything, any punishment I would be receiving today. My head throbbed as I im

ALPHA JULIAN After the meeting with the Alphas, I went back to the gym, where I sparred with the sparring robot. I fought and fought for hours till I was tired. The robot wasn’t, though; it didn’t have flesh and blood like me. Too much was on my mind; I would never think of giving up on my throne, nor do I want to give up on finding my fated mate. And it was only a matter of time before James got an heir, which would make his claim for the throne stronger according to our customs in the realm. “What would you do if you were me, Robot?” I asked the skinless robot holding a wooden sword with one hand and a clenched fist on the other.“Black?” I asked my wolf, who had been grumpy since the meeting. “I don’t know, Kay, I don’t.” “Then, let’s go for a run, shall we?” “Sure,” he replied, and I walked out of the gym into the pack’s forest. Aside from my heightened sense of sight as the Alpha King, the moon’s bright lights made me feel better tonight. I had no idea night had fallen al
