All Chapters of My Second Chance Mate Is My Ex Alpha’s Nemesis : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Liena’s POV I said nothing, I couldn’t even find my words. But suddenly, I felt my wolf stirring inside me. Mate! Mate! She snarled happily, almost trembling with excitement as I tried to push her feelings down. I really did. I tried! But it was impossible. My heart started beating faster as his eyes remained fixed on mine. For some reason, the atmosphere between us changed. The teasing smile he had shown moments ago faded, and something deeper settled between us. Something I couldn’t explain. Something only my wolf seemed to understand. Something his wolf understood too. The pull was there. Strong. Warm and comforting. It wrapped around me, connecting us together. I had felt a mate bond before and I knew what it was. But this… This felt different. It felt stronger and safer. My wolf was practically glowing inside me. She had never reacted like this before. Then he finally spoke. “You can feel it, don’t you?” I blinked as my throat tightened. Because he was right. I could feel

Kael’s POV The afternoon sunlight filtered through the large windows of my office. Papers were neatly stacked on my desk, reports from the pack territories waiting for my attention, but my mind was somewhere else entirely. My phone rested in my hand as I stared at the screen. Liena’s contact name remained there. I pressed the call button again. The ringing lasted for several seconds before the call failed. I tried again but still the same result. Another failed attempt. My expression hardened as I lowered the phone onto the desk. This was becoming irritating. Ever since she left, she had barely answered my calls. And now she was ignoring me completely. I leaned back in my chair and exhaled slowly. For years, I had done everything properly. I had maintained my reputation. I had played the role everyone expected me to play. A loving husband. A caring Alpha. A devoted mate. I had always appeared kind and responsible in front of others. No one questioned my actions. No one doubted my

Kael POVJust then, my phone rang. I saw it was Ken calling. I excused myself and walked out the room. Helena’s tired eyes followed me as I stood up from the chair beside her hospital bed. I gave her hand one last gentle squeeze before letting go. The door clicked shut behind me, and I stepped into the quiet hallway. I answered the call, keeping my voice steady. “Ken.”“Happy birthday, man,” he said, sounding a little out of breath like he had rushed to call. “Sorry I couldn’t call on time. Got busy with pack stuff this morning. You know how it is.”I leaned against the cool wall and stared straight ahead at the row of closed doors down the corridor. “Thanks.”He paused, and I could picture him rubbing the back of his neck the way he always did when things felt awkward. “How you holding up? I know Liena’s probably got all kinds of surprises lined up like she always does. That woman never misses your birthday. Remember last year when she turned the whole backyard into some kind of

Liena’s POV Just then, the sound of my ringing phone shattered the moment as I reached for my phone on the dresser. The screen lit up, and my heart tightened immediately at who was calling. It was Grandfather calling. For a few seconds, I simply stared at his name. I hadn’t gone to see him since the day I discovered Kael’s secret marriage to Helena. That day had changed everything. Grandfather had been expecting me to visit him. He had wanted to hand over some delicate documents he had kept safely for years. Documents that were meant for Kael to claim someday. Grandfather had believed Kael was a devoted husband after he thought Kael passed this ten years test.. Over the years, he had watched Kael stay by my side and had tried to trust that he loved me deeply for 10 yrs. Because of that trust, Grandfather had prepared those documents, intending to reward him for being a caring mate and husband. The thought alone made my chest ache. If only he knew the truth. If only he knew tha

Liena POVJust then, a thought came to my head. Earlier that week, I had pulled Mara aside and made sure no one else was around before I spoke to her in a low voice. “Look into Helena,” I had told her. “I want to know everything about her past, her family, where she really came from before she showed up here claiming to be some poor orphan.” Mara had nodded without asking too many questions. She was loyal like that, sharp-eyed and good at digging through old records and pack rumors without drawing attention. A professional hacker. She had already sent me a few messages with bits and pieces. Nothing complete yet, but enough to make my wolf perk up with interest. Some old documents hinted at a different story than the one Helena told everyone. I felt a quiet thrill knowing I was finally knowing Helena’s hidden secrets. I broke the silence now, turning my attention back to Helena on the couch. She still looked pale, her burned hand wrapped carefully in a damp cloth Kael had given he
