The Alphas Second Chance Mate THE SILVER WOLF
POV: ElarisTwo weeks later, labour begins as dawn stretches its fingers toward the horizon.The first tightening wakes me, slow and steady.For a few seconds, I do nothing, deciding if it is real.Then another begins.Stronger.More insistent.I blink my eyes open.“Averic.”He stirs instantly.“What happened?”I take his hand and press it against my stomach.“I think it’s time.”He moves, rising to a sitting position, the sleepiness vanishing from his expression.Within minutes, the private wing is abuzz with activity.The healers arrive, their supplies ready in advance. Neryss opens the doors before anyone even knocks twice. Linens are brought in, water warmed, and quiet instructions murmured instead of panicked cries.I press my back against the headboard as another contraction draws near.It hurts.There is no mistaking it.But something is different.There is no feeling of failure running through my veins.No sudden weakness.No all-consuming emptiness threatening to consume me.
The Alphas Second Chance Mate YIELD
POV: ElarisCaedmon's wolf falls silent.There is a pause of several seconds as both men stand suspended in the silence.Averic looms over him, an arm pressing against his shoulder and one arm preventing the fallen wolf from rising for a second attempt.Caedmon pulls back.He slides down onto one knee, panting, streaks of dirt coating his skin and small rivulets of blood marking a side of his torso but he says nothing.His silence speaks for itself.Even to the warriors.Sennik turns to the pack witnesses first."Did all see it?"A murmur of affirmation sounds from across the grounds."Yes."The answer ripples among the gathered warriors.Sennik turned to Caedmon."Do you contest?"His head is lowered, eyes hidden but his response is simple enough."No."There was a second ripple through the pack, this time murmurs of assent as the pack realized the challenge had truly ended.Caedmon had thrown down his claim and lost it.I watch him from the outer edges of the grounds, his decisions
The Alphas Second Chance Mate THE FINAL ACCOUNTING
POV: ElarisThe first page is open before the councilor.For several breaths, no one speaks.The senior councilor folds his fingers together over the paper."Alpha Averic Thorne," he says, "the council will hear from the party who altered the conditions of the previous judgement. Describe what happened after you left this hall."Averic remains on his feet."There is little to say."Caedmon lets out a quiet scoff from across the chamber.Sennik pays him no mind.Averic continues, "My wolf had been surrender. The transfer saved Elaris and the child. I was told I would not shift again."Several council members exchange thoughtful looks."The mark was completed."An elder interrupts."You are saying the mark reinstated what your donation forfeited?""I am saying this is what happened.""That is not satisfactory,"Averic shakes his head."It is the truth."Murmurs ripple across the chamber.Sennik holds up a hand."Continue."Averic pauses to glance at me."The mark healed the condition. M
The Alphas Second Chance Mate AT DAWN
POV: ElarisThe outer house is settling back down after the council party has disappeared down the road.I remain near the doorway for a few minutes more, listening carefully and silently to the sound of horse's hooves long after they were out of sight.The world has changed overnight and without giving us any time for more discussions.The dawn is rising with an almost alarming swiftness, and by sunrise, I'll be walking into this house where the council had deposed Averic.There's no sense pretending I'm even capable, at this moment, of attempting sleep.Neryss begins gathering the cups remaining on the table as Averic leans heavily against the window frame, watching the road.No one mentions, or speaks of, what would happen should the council not acknowledge what had transpired the previous evening.I decide to take that one first."Think they'll try to stall the vote?"Averic turns to face me."They might.""Because they're buying time to find another reason?""Because they don't w
The Alphas Second Chance Mate THE GROUNDS NO LONGER EXIST
Elaris's POVThe clearing is silent after Averic announces his claim.No one immediately responds to him.The council escort holds their position where the shift had left them, a number of the warriors watching Averic as though he was set to disappear as soon as their gazes fell away.Sennik lowers his eyes to the records in his possession before returning his attention to the ground where the transformation had taken place.He flips through several pages in the document at hand before coming to a stop on a page detailing the actions that had led the council here.None of them can explain what they have simply seen, however.Sennik finally closes the file."The medical record states permanent loss."Averic replies in a steady voice."It was wrong."No one immediately pushes back against his claim.The evidence stands before them.Caedmon is the first to find his voice again, and his phrasing suggests that he has spent some time choosing his words."The council acted on medical testimo
The Alphas Second Chance Mate COUNCIL COLOURS
Elaris’s POVThe horses come to a halt before the outer house.Averric stays at the head of the procession.He makes no move to fall back to the doorway or take up any position behind Neryss. Standing bare in the open ground did not diminish the presence he carried before. Not with Alpha guards missing and no council insignia or ceremony clothing present.The sight of him should make men feel small but it does not.We wait while the riders get down from their horses.I wait alongside the procession as they inspect the house, the guards, and the powerless man Averic is.I press a hand lightly against the mark at my throatThe connection is solid now.There is no need to search for Averics' wolf, though I know it is there.Neryss takes up position beside the doorway.Her blade hangs freely but does not come up against anyone.She knows the difference between protecting the man and challenging an official envoy. Averic looks back once.He does not make a move for me to enter the doors.I
