Lahat ng Kabanata ng Second Chance: Mated To My Lycan King Brother-In-Law: Kabanata 71 - Kabanata 80

Marissa POV.The market was beautiful. There are many stalls with various offerings, like fresh produce, clothing, jewellery, handmade gifts, and cakes. It was truly beautiful. Everything I picked up to look at Robert instantly whipped his wallet out. I had to tell him I was only looking, but he didn’t listen. Everything I touched or looked too long at he bought.He is too impulsive, and I know he is only doing this to make up for how he has been acting and for what he said earlier today. I haven’t forgiven him yet, but I know I will do at some point. It is nearly 8pm when he enters the bedroom carrying a tray of food.“What are you doing?” I ask him playfully from the bed, placing my book down. He gives me his charming smile as he bows to me with a flourish of his hand. I can’t help but chuckle at him.“M’lady, I have cooked dinner for us.” I raise an eyebrow at him as the smell of steak wafts towards me as my belly growls at me. Traitor.“Oh, what’s the occasion?” I ask as I fold my

Marissa POV.“No, it’s not like that at all, Robert. After everything you and your mom told me about this place, I was not putting Athena at risk. Or did you forget how I found you when you were knocking on death’s door? Do you think I want that fate for my daughter?” I say as I try to stay calm. I don’t understand why he is acting like this?“You think I can’t protect her? That’s why she isn’t here. Do you not know I miss her too? I understand she isn’t mine biologically, but I look at like she is. I’m nothing like my father, who turned a blind eye to the suffering of his mate and pups. Goddess, I even got rid of the harem for you to show you I’m nothing like him.” The anger simmers in my blood, taking a breath to calm myself. Did he not want to get rid of the harem?“Did I say you couldn’t protect her? Do you want to know why I agreed to Damien taking her?” he looks at me, his fists balled into fists. Ok he wants to play.“Because I was not just scared for her, but for me. Goddess,

Marissa POV.Sitting on the sofa in my room, I smile as I look Athena over, but my heart hurts. I’ve missed so much. However, Damien and Roxy have done amazingly with her. I’m a failure as a mother. I don’t deserve her at all.“So, you going to tell me what has been going on since we left?” Eleanor stands in front of me before she sits down and I tell her everything, including what the omegas have been reporting to me. The rumours are still the same, but apparently she has been meeting someone outside the palace. I have asked the girls to find out where she is going and who she is meeting. I have a feeling she is meeting members of the harem.“How long?” I look at Eleanor and furrow my eyebrows at her. I don’t understand what she means. I have blocked the mind link to Robert and blocked Zarah as well. I have needed to be alone.“What?” I say to her as she stands and holds her hands out to take Athena and I pass her to her.“Lay down.” I do as I’m asked when she holds a hand out over m

Marissa POV.Jogging towards the Omega’s quarters, I stop outside the room of Thalia. Pushing the door open. It’s neat and cosy. Shame she was a slut.“Luna, what are we looking for?” I move towards the bedside table and pull the drawer out. My skin itches as the blood is drying, but it’s the least of my worries right now.“We are looking for a perfume, lotion, anything that doesn’t look right. It will have an earthy, damp smell. Search the bathroom and leave no corner unturned.” I rip the mattress up, looking for a bottle. I tear the room apart looking for it, but nothing. I look at the rug and stand.Pulling the rug back, I look at the floor and see scuff marks. Moving to my knees, I run my finger over it. Feeling the ridges. There is something down here.Allowing my claws to slip, I rip the flooring apart and see a black box. Reaching in, I grab it and pull it out. Lifting the lid, I look at the contents.There are small green glass vials. Gently picking one up, I look at it closel

Marissa POV.“Yes, we do. Let me say this first, please. I’m sorry, I didn’t know what I was doing. I thought it was you. I understand why you rejected me and I’ll make it up to you, even if it takes until I die. Don’t leave me, Marissa. I wouldn’t survive without you.” His words are heavy and I know they are the truth. If I didn’t find Thalia’s secret stash, he wouldn’t be able to survive.“I know, my love. I am sorry for how I reacted. I couldn’t go through that again. We will sort this out. We need to work together from now on Robert. No more doing everything on your own. If I’m to be your queen, then we need to share the responsibility. It wasn’t your fault. She dosed you with an aphrodisiac, which was laced with wolfsbane.” I tell him and I watch as he makes sense of what I have told him. Athena bounces on my knee. Robert looks at her and holds his arms out for her and she throws herself towards him. I chuckle at her.“I believe the use and production of aphrodisiacs are forbidde
