All Chapters of The Alpha's Second-chance Mate : Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Renna's POVTonight was the beginning of the winter solstice and it just so happened to be the day my sister got crowned as the Alpha of the Crimson Moon Pack. The festivities were in full swing with the full moon starting to peak, casting its ethereal glow over the misty forest where our pack had made home. Dozens of people mingled about, the air filled with excitement as male and female shifters cheered my sister on, applauds ringing out from all directions while I gazed at the absurdity unraveling right in front me."Renna, make sure you attend to the guests and see to their needs.” the maid mistress ordered with a stern look on her face as I made my way out. “If I hear of any mistakes, I'd have you starved and punished for the week!”We stood outside the main pack halls that were a banquet was held in my sister's honour to bestow upon her the title of a leader. I wasn't even allowed to be a part of the occasion, all I could do was watch from the sides, where the maids were asked

Renna's POV“But father–”“No buts!” he growled, snapping when his canines elongated, his eyes suddenly bloodshot. “You will unlink yourself from him and break the mate bond and you have just three days to do that. Do not test me on this, child!”A wince left my lips and tears I hadn't even realized that I held back fell freely down my face in rivulets. I nodded, dragging my feet that had suddenly grown too heavy for me out of the room, noticing the look of triumph on Circe's face.It was too much for me to handle, I couldn't think straight. I didn't know what to do, but–“Renna!”Leia's voice suddenly cut me out from my inner turmoil and my gaze snapped towards her direction. Mirroring my hate and pent-up anger towards her.“What do you want?! What else do you want me to give up for you?”“I swear it, I wish it didn't have to come to this. I wish I do not have to take him away from you.”My voice rose several decibels and screams erupted from my mouth when I found her pretense riveti

Kayden's POV“The sentinels will take over from here, Reagan. This would be our last shift for tonight.”Reagan my closest companion nodded in agreement to what I had just said. Then we left for the path that led to the small pub at the end of the woods towards the path that led to the city.We took a much more secluded path out of the Crescent Moon Pack to avoid being seen by the others. Shifting to fur, we navigated the woods on sync, stopping to change only when we saw the pub in sight. Carrying the duffle bags that had our clothes between our jaws, we let it down, shifting back to skin and putting out clothes on.Pulling the glass doors open, we walked into the pub and several wary glances was sent in our direction. Some shifters, others human. I was already used to the scrutiny of others and didn't give two fucks if they thought I wasn't where I had to be.Leaving my pack behind to stick to the humiliation I got from the Crescent Moon Pack was something I had to do for the sake o

Renna's POVThe whole, taking a new mate, and breaking of bonds were now over and I quietly left the study, wondering what was left for me out there. This was a whole new feeling for me, what I got from Kayden, the softness of his voice, the look of affection in his eyes, they were all new and it scared me.I had just lost a mate I had known my entire life! Now I was forced to be with another and he didn't mind our new bond that has just formed. Instinctively, I rubbed the spot where his mark had been on me but I tried to remind myself that this wasn't real, this was a sham, a fake mate that was pushed over to me because the other pair didn't find him worthy. Two wrong pairs, that was what we were. Even as I walked away, I didn't realize that someone followed behind me until his hands grabbed mine to halt me.“Renna! god, I've been trying to get to you but you just seem so distant.”I blinked, trying not to get lost in those beautiful cerulean eyes that called for my attention. Argh!

I laid on the bed in the room they had locked me in, having me strapped to the bed like some criminal. I was tired and exhausted, I no longer had the strength to fight back or scream and wail. I stared at the ceilings, feeling utterly dejected, like a total stranger in my mind.What was I supposed to do now that Kieran was taken away from me, and now, Kayden too? His face haunted me. Like a dream I did not wish to wake up from. His smiles echoed in my mind, his words rang through my very consciousness and a piece of him still lingered around me through the bond.It was there, vibrant and very much alive but the one who placed this bond on me was gone. Leaving me to face the aftermath of the harsh truth that I was never going to see him ever again.The door slowly pushed open and surprisingly, Kieran walked in with a tray of food and sullen look on his face. A scowl etched itself on my countenance and I turned away from him, hearing him drop the food on the table.“Why are you here? To
