The Price of a Second Chance のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 10

“I brought an album for you to see,” I said, taking it out of my bag, but with some difficulty due to its size. ‘Just a moment,’ I said awkwardly, still trying to take out the album, now with more force. Casper touched my hand; I didn't pull away.“Naomi, why didn't you say anything before? I would have,” he began. His touch was comforting, but it didn't help me overcome my trauma.“Would you have helped me? Helped the children? Would you have promised that, even though you lied about other things?” I asked, fighting my emotions again.“I didn't lie about anything, Naomi,” Casper told me. A jerk, indeed. Sometimes we only know someone on the other side. Apparently, the pain came only from my side.“You said you wanted me, that you loved me, Casper. Why did that change when I was destined for you?” I asked, swallowing my tears with hatred.“Naomi, you were important to me, indeed, but you weren't my mate; even though you were destined for me, nothing had happened,” he told me. A son of

Lancelot did not know the term 'calm'. Our kiss was too fast and too intense, and the strong smell of wolf was present. Possibly the best kissing experience I had had the first time with someone. His eyes shone, and he heard the heartbeat.“I think we’d better go,” he said, stepping away. It was the best decision ever because if it continued, it might end in unplanned ways.As we left the chamber, he said goodbye to the employees. None of them seemed bothered, maybe all that was common. Anyway, all werewolves; it would be a problem less, not to hide, that was. Some wolves had to mate with humans, and that was a punishment. It almost always ended in rejection, and not everyone got a second chance. Again, I felt guilty for having received one, I didn’t think I deserved it.We left Jenjen Village for a walk. It was a quiet neighborhood, and when you were a wolf, you were even less afraid of life. We weren’t afraid of humans.Lancelot avoided looking me in the eye. “When his children came

“My team is tracking some wolves, Naomi. They may be connected to the disappearance of our children. We need to stay alert,” he informs me. I nod affirmatively. “In any case, it's not safe here. I'm going to take you somewhere else,” he says, taking my hand. My body vibrates with happiness, but my mind still can't keep up with the feeling and the situation.“That won't be necessary,” Lancelot said, taking my hand and making her let go of Casper's. His warm touch awakened me, and my mind caught up with the gesture. “I don't live far away, and it would be more comfortable. It's been a long day, and she needs to rest,” he says, regaining all the authority he had before, staring at Casper. I didn't know if medium-sized wolves didn't respected hierarchies very well, as I wouldn't see a normal beta confronting a powerful alpha like he was doing.“Okay,” Casper said, visibly annoyed. In front of others, he liked to show that he was good. There were wolves and humans around, and the image of

The claws didn't hurt my head as much as I expected them to. In fact, I felt a certain excitement about it; my wolf did. The aura between us was stronger, but this time he wasn't trying to mask any scent; he was actually avoiding it. There were a lot of pheromones in the air. His wolf scent was addictive, like an expensive perfume that only the richest and most exclusive people could afford to buy, wear, and match with their fragrance.My body was submissive to his, and we hadn't gone beyond the kiss. All I had was a completely shrewd and delicious tongue that seemed to know all the main points of my mouth. I felt claws in my hair and on the little skin he had access to under his clothes, which he had given me minutes before. A part of me was beginning to let go. The inner wolf was slowly coming out. With my claws exposed, I touched Lancelot's skin, gently smoothing it. He then finally tore the clothes from my body with his claws, freeing the path from his mouth to my breasts, smoothi

A few minutes later, we tidied up the room a little, and he showed me the rest of the house. “You can stay in this room if you want,” he said. “As long as you want, too.”“I have a house, you know?” I joked. “Bigger than this one, actually,” I continued teasing.“But it's not safe there,” Lancelot told me. “If it were, I wouldn't be here now,” he said, trying to win the argument.“You're too confident for someone with so many worries,” I said, taking advantage.“It's not every day you have a Mate and have sex with your destiny,” he laughed. “It was a good day, I admit,” he told me.In just one day, I had had a second Mate, seen the person I loved most, and had sex with my second Mate. My body and mind were crazy. “I'm going to sleep now; I have a busy day tomorrow,” I said.“About that, would you like me to accompany you to the address?” he asked me as he discreetly tidied up the small room.“I don't think that will be necessary; I can take care of myself. I have three children, you k
