All Chapters of The Price of a Second Chance: Chapter 91 - Chapter 100

When Casper gave me the meeting address, I knew there was no way back. Lancelot walked by my side in silence, his steps firm as if he was already ready for the confrontation that would come. I didn’t dare to ask him to stay. Maybe because, deep down, I wanted him to come. The bar where Casper was waiting for us was in a discreet corner of the city, away from the movement. From the outside, it looked like an abandoned building, but there was a dim light behind the wooden door. I pushed slowly, feeling the weight of two presences at the same time—the one that awaited me inside and the one that walked with me. Casper was sitting at a corner table, with his back to the wall, observing every detail of the room. His posture was that of an alpha, even without saying a word. The look found mine first, then went straight to Lancelot. The two stared at each other. "You brought him." Casper’s voice was not loud, but it carried the tension he already knew. "He wanted to come." It was not th

The car stopped a few meters before the dirt road leading to the shed. The place seemed abandoned, surrounded by twisted trees. There was still no movement in the city. Lancelot turned off the engine and looked around, attentive to every detail. "They are here," he muttered. I swallowed dry and looked out the window. The shed stood like a shadow at the end of the road, too big, too lonely. There was no way to go through it without feeling that something was wrong. "Casper said we’d meet near the entrance," I said, trying to keep my voice steady. Lancelot did not respond immediately. He was just watching the road, the tense muscles. Then he nodded. "Let’s go." We get out of the car and walk in silence, our steps muffled by the damp earth. My heart was beating too loudly, as if it denounced our presence miles away. As we got closer, a shadow stood out among the trees. Casper. He was standing, leaning on a stone, arms crossed, and staring at the shed. His scent reached me before he

We ran. The sound of our steps in the wet earth was mixed with the crying of children and the distant echo of the struggle in the shed. The cold of the morning cut my face, but I barely felt it. What mattered was to keep going.Jimmy shot in front, eyes wide, trying to be strong. Jared tripped but wouldn’t let go of my hand. Jody was strapped to my arm, sobbing so loud it felt like her heart was going to explode."Some more, love. Just a little more," I repeated, not knowing if I was trying to convince them or myself.Lancelot’s car was hidden behind a row of trees, about a hundred meters away. Each meter seemed like a kilometer. Every second, an eternity. At any moment, I expected to hear wolves behind us, but the only sound that came was the battle.When we finally reached the car, my hands trembled so much that I almost dropped the key. "Come in, quick!" I ordered. Jimmy and Jared jumped in, pulling Jody along. I closed the door and ran to the steering wheel. The engine roared, but

The first group appeared. Six of them. Then three more. In total, at least nine. They were not amateurs like the first. These moved together, organized, almost in formation.Lancelot advanced. It was like lightning. The growl he let out made the others instinctively retreat. He collided with the first middle wolf, and the sound of broken bones filled the air. The corridor became a battlefield again.I ran too. The Beta came to me, eyes shining with excitement. I exchanged blows with him. Claws, punches, headbutts. Each impact reverberated through my body like a hammer. He was strong but had no discipline. And discipline was what kept me standing.Behind me, the massacre. Lancelot tore apart anyone who came close. The ground was already a lake of blood, bodies piling up. But as strong as it was, I knew I was close to getting lost. The way it tore, how it took too many seconds on each victim. It was the wolf taking over.Focused on Beta. He tried to grab me by the neck, but I ducked and

The car followed in silence at first. The engine made a hum but did not muffle the sound of children’s sobs in the back seat. I watched them through the mirror, and my heart broke a little more with each look.Jimmy was with his chin on his knees, staring out the window, as if the world outside were easier to face than us inside. Jared bit his lip, trying to be strong, but his red eyes betrayed him. Jody would not stop holding on to my coat, even with the belt."They’re not coming back, are they, Mama?" she whispered, her voice so low it barely reached me."No, my love," I replied, forcing firmness that I didn’t feel. "They stayed behind, but we are safe now."Before the silence came again, Casper spoke without taking his eyes from the road:"You are with me now. Nothing will happen."It was the tone of Alpha. Authority is built into even the simplest words. And somehow it seemed to work. Jimmy looked at him in the rearview mirror and nodded, as if that promise was more convincing tha
