《Her Second Chance Mate》全部章節：第 71 章 - 第 80 章

AriezelAfter that day, Alys became even more withdrawn. Despite her claims to not accept him and to be unaffected by meeting Ambrose, she completely looked even more miserable as time went on.Harriet and I eyed her as she came in, looking worn. Her eyes bore dark shadows that weren't there before from lack of sleep. Most times, Harriet and I constantly made brews for her to take to ensure her a night's rest, and too often tried to convince her to rest. It was only a few times that she accepted either.Now, she looked so worn out. Her brunette hair that was normally packed in a bun was let down revealing the length. And was now also haggard with tiny hairs sticking out.“Food is ready.” Harriet said tentatively. Only the day before she had dyed her hair again a more natural raven black that framed her face perfectly. Yet now, the color seemed to further accentuate the anxiousness in her expression as she looked at Alys.Passing my glance back out to the brunette, I felt nothing but sy

AriezelI stood stiffly, shut my eyes as though it would make me disappear. But it didn't. I still remained there, in the garden and Asher was still behind me.Oh moon Goddess, Asher was behind me.I didn't want to confront him, and had hoped that I wouldn't ever need to until…‘Until our mate's bond was broken.’The thought alone was akin to a pinprick to my heart, despite all I had done to freeze whatever was left of it towards Asher.There was no way I could dispute my presence. He would already know and feel it, the same way I knew it was him even if I never heard his voice.All I had to do now was ignore it. Pretend as though he was a ghost. Harriet was waiting for me.I took a step to leave, but like most things in my life it didn't go according to plan.“Arixcel, wait. Please.”I could continue moving forward, but my traitorous body stopped in response to his call. I cursed at myself inwardly that despite everything, I could still act like this for him.Why? Why couldn't he set

AriezelPresent dayI stood, stuned at Asher's words. Goddess. What was I supposed to say to this?It was already a shock, learning that somehow, I was the one who had the power to sever our bond.To take him back again? To give him another chance? It should hae all been ludicrous. I didn’t have to do so after everything he had done, and I had already told him that we couldn’t go back. Yet why did my heart still ache at his words?I looked down to the ground of the garden. A place that once filled me with joy was now a maze, filled with a myriad of sorrows, joys and confusion. I almost had the urge to bring my hands up to my sight, if not for the will to keep utterly still under Asher’s gaze. I was now the one in control. No longer a bystander nor a victim waiting for the pain to happen. This time, I was the one who held the choice to go through with it.In my hands. I was the one who could end all of this. If I went to the pack priestess right now and told her to sever Asher and

AriezelI stepped out to the living room in a rush to see her struggling to remove her shoes.“Alys?” I called out.She looked like she was prepared to get out of her skin. She didn't notice me, nor answer my call. The closer I came, I could finally see what was wrong.On her cheeks tears shone, with unmistakable tear streaks. And I realized that she was stripping. It hit me too late.“Alys wait!" I called out, but the moment she stripped her last piece of clothing, she was off.I saw her transform into her wolf form, a deep brown wolf before she ran off further into the woods. …Only an hour later, Harriet came back, looking more worn out than I had ever seen her. her defeated look alone halted any questions that I wanted answered.Instead, I remained silent the moment she walked in, plopping over the couch with a sigh. With Alys gone and Harriet defeated, it was evident that none of them were going to do much, if anything- tonight. So burying the questions and worries away, I ins

Ariezel“Hey Ari, I found somewhere completely empty.” she said.My eyes were such to the corner she neared, panic rising up my throat.But there was nothing I could do to change what happened next.“I doubt any of the pack are going to come…here…” she trailed off as she finally appeared in view, seeing me…and Asher.Surprise filled her features. She looked at me, then back to Asher then at me again.I saw every detail on how her face shuttered instantly, keeping a neutral tone that seemed positive as she bowed down to Asher.“Greetings Alpha Blackwell. ” she said.“Hello Harriet.” he said, making her stiffen in response. I looked at him with surprise. Though I had spoken to them, I was sure he had never truly met them, hence my surprise in being able to remember her name.“It is a pleasure to be recognized by the Alpha.” she said neutrally, though not out of fear, Harriet spared the bare minimum, displaying caution. She looked at me in surprise and I acted quickly.I quickly reached
