Lahat ng Kabanata ng My Second Chance Mate is a Barbarian : Kabanata 441 - Kabanata 450

FenrisI went to find Halvard. The night was cold, the wind sharp off the channel. I walked through Stonewake's narrow ways, the damp stone under my boots. Light spilled from the open doors of the longhouses. I heard the murmur of voices, the low laughter. But I kept moving until I found Halvard.He was alone, in the Alpha keep. The fire crackled in the hearth. He sat in a chair, his boots on the table, drinking ale from a jug. The chair creaked as he leaned back, watching me come in. I shut the door behind me.Halvard looked up at me with a broad smile. "Fenris! There you are. I've been looking all over for you." He gestured expansively with one meaty arm. "Had my eyes on you one moment, across the yard. The next you vanished." He shook his head, chuckling. "I asked after you, and your Southern friend said you'd gone off for a walk. Didn't want to disturb you."He reached for his jug and took a long pull. Wiping his mouth with the back of his hand, he went on. "I was beginning to wor

Fenris"There was no North then. Only the pack. The Old Council came together, and with the Moon Goddess, they bred stronger wolves. Wolves who could stand against the Lycans.""You know the story of the Butcher. But you may not know where he came from. The Goddess herself came to our land... and she mated with an Alpha's slave. The first Butcher came from that."I stared at him. I did not need to speak... He could see the disbelief in my face."It's the truth," he said. "The slave was strong, but he was also obedient... He submitted to her. From that union a child was conceived and born. That child was the first Butcher. His line strengthened, and that is how the North was made. You come from that child. You are his bloodline, reborn.""I was bred from a slave?" I said."The blood of a slave, and the blood of a Goddess. That's what you are. That's what the Butcher has always been." Halvard's face was grim. "The Lycans left us with nothing but corpses. They nearly wiped us out entirely

LyraI knelt on the floorboards, phone forgotten at my ear. The room spun slowly, caught in a snare of brandy and shock.Ten weeks. Ten godsdamned weeks. Not a word from her, not one. Mother had said it and I had not wanted to believe it and here it was anyway. She had forgotten us. She had gone north and she had forgotten us.No. No, I wanted this. I needed it. I needed to hear her voice.I opened my mouth to speak and nothing came out. The sounds hitched in my throat like a rough pull on a rope, strangling me silent. I wanted to say too many things at once and could not say any of them."I'm so sorry," Sera said on the other end of the line, her voice faint and wavering. "I've missed you so much."I choked on it. Ten weeks, and that was all I got.Nadia's face swam into focus. Her brows knitted and she reached for me. I jerked away, trying to breathe.I opened my mouth again and still no words came.I opened my mouth, and a single word tumbled out. "Sera."Nadia was up and stumbling

Hey guys, I sincerely apologize to anyone who has unlocked a chapter only to find that it was accidentally posted in Spanish instead of English. This has happened because I’ve been working on translating different versions of my books, and unfortunately, some of the covers look identical. With everything I’ve been dealing with lately and the stress I’ve been under, I have occasionally ended up uploading the wrong version without realizing it. I know that being stressed isn’t an excuse, especially when you’ve spent your hard-earned money to unlock these chapters, and I’m truly sorry for the inconvenience and frustration this may have caused. Unfortunately, correcting these mistakes isn’t always as simple as editing the chapter myself. The platform doesn’t allow authors to make independent changes once a chapter is published, so I have to rely on my editor to make the necessary corrections. This can be even more difficult when the mistake happens over the weekend and my editor isn’t

MinaI considered how to answer that. Then I shook my head and shrugged and let it go.I watched the hall instead. Kael was seated across the way with Taya beside him and a few of the other elders around them, talking, laughing now and then at something one of them said.Then I noticed one of the chiefs nod toward the high table. Toward Sera. Not in greeting. The way men nod when they are talking about someone and want the other man to know who they mean. His face was disgusted."Fucking idiots," I muttered, and took an angry swig of my ale.Vane heard it. He scoffed. "The elders?""Look at them." It came out with more heat in it than I meant. "It must be exhausting. Hating someone you can't get rid of."Vane looked over at them a while. Then he nodded. "Hmm.""You can't blame them," he said. "It is all very strange to everyone. A Southern Luna.""I can." I turned to look at him properly. "You're handling yourself well enough, at least. You don't hate her."He smiled at that. "I have
