All Chapters of THE BIKER ALPHA WHO BECAME MY SECOND CHANCE MATE: Chapter 111 - Chapter 120

Chapter 111TristanI could feel my life slipping away.It wasn't slow or gentle like I had always imagined death might be. It was a burning, tearing pain that sank into my bones and dragged every ounce of strength out of me with ruthless efficiency. My chest felt hollow and my head was so light I thought I might be floating somewhere between life and death.The sensation was unlike anything I had ever experienced as an Alpha. All my life I had been the strong one, the one who protected others, the one who never showed weakness. But here I was, crumpled on a cave floor, feeling more helpless than I had ever felt in my entire existence.I wanted to scream but my throat wouldn't work properly and all that left my mouth was a broken whisper."Athena..."It was weak and shattered but it was all I had left to give. The sound of her name on my lips felt like a wish, like maybe if I said it enough times she would remember who she used to be.Her hands were still on me, still drinking me

Chapter 113Tristan's POVThe drive to Orion's house felt like it took forever. I kept my fingers pressed against Athena's neck, checking her pulse every few minutes. Her heartbeat was weak but steady. Her breathing was shallow but consistent. She wasn't getting worse, but she wasn't getting better either.I tried not to think about what would happen if she never woke up. Or worse, what would happen if she woke up and that thing was still inside her.The car pulled into Orion's driveway and I saw Sarah on the front porch. She'd been pacing, I could tell from the way she immediately stopped moving when she spotted us. Her face was pale and her hands were shaking.The moment Orion stepped out of the car, she ran to him. She threw her arms around his neck and buried her face in his shoulder. I couldn't hear what she was whispering to him, but I saw his whole body shake. He held her tight and closed his eyes like he was trying to absorb some of her strength.After a minute, she pulled b

Chapter 115Tristan's POVI was dreaming about the cave. About Athena's silver eyes looking at me like I was nothing. About the way my life force had been pulled from my body like water going down a drain. But then something soft brushed against my cheek and the dream started to fade.Something was touching my face. Light fingers moving across my skin in a way that felt familiar and warm. My body was still exhausted from what had happened. Every muscle ached and my bones felt hollow, like they were still trying to rebuild themselves from the inside out.But the thought of Athena made my eyes snap open.What I saw made my heart stop.Athena was looking down at me with a smile. She was human again, not the wolf form I'd left her in. Her dark hair fell around her shoulders and her brown eyes were clear and focused. She was real and awake and here.My arms were wrapped around her waist. When had she woken up? How had she gotten here without me knowing?I sat up so fast it made my head

Chapter 117Tristan's POVMy heart started beating faster. "What kind of information?""The kind you need to hear in person. Can I come over?"I looked towards Orion who was watching me. "It's Derek," I said. "He says he has information to share about what happened."Orion looked up at me with tired eyes. "Tell him to come over. We should discuss it here."I raised my eyebrows in surprise. Orion never let outsiders into his house. Ever. His home was family only."We can't leave Athena alone," he explained through our mindlink when he saw my expression. "And we can't take her anywhere until we know more about what's happening to her." I nodded"Come over. I'll text you the address.""I'll be there in twenty minutes," Derek said.While we waited, I felt like pacing around the living room but I stayed still, just the way Athena did too. Sarah made coffee and Orion sat in his chair with his head in his hands. None of us talked about what Derek might have found, but I could tell we were a

Chapter 119Athena's POV"No."The word comes out of me like a scream. I'm on my feet before I even realize I'm moving, my chair scraping against the floor so loud it makes everyone jump."No, Tristan. Absolutely not. I won't let you do this."But he's already standing too, and there's this calm look on his face that makes my panic worse. Like he's already decided and nothing I say is going to change his mind."Athena, listen to me...""No!" I step back from him, my hands shaking so hard I can barely control them. "You can't ask me to do this. You can't ask me to risk killing you.""I'm not asking you to risk anything. I'm asking you to save me."His words don't make sense. How is me potentially killing him saving him? How is putting himself in danger helping anyone?I look around the room, desperate for someone to back me up. Someone has to see how crazy this is. Someone has to tell him this is a terrible idea."Orion," I say, turning to my brother. "Tell him he's being stupid. Tell
