All Chapters of My Second Chance Mate Is My Ex Alpha’s Nemesis : Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Liena’s POV Kael did not move for a long moment. When he finally spoke, his voice was low, almost too controlled. “Is there nothing we can do? No treatment? No way to reverse it?” The doctor shook his head slowly, folding his hands together again on the desk. “I wish I had better news, Mr. Kael. The damage was too severe by the time we found it. This is permanent.” I watched Kael’s face closely. To anyone else in that room, he probably looked calm, maybe even cold, the same unreadable mask he wore in pack meetings and negotiations. But I had known him long enough, had stood beside him through enough hard moments, to see the small things underneath it. The way his jaw tightened just slightly. The way his hands, resting on his knees furiously, curled into the fabric of his trousers like he needed something to hold onto. His mate and lover could not give him a child. Not now. Not ever. And there was nothing his strength, his title, or his money could do to change that. I broke

Kael’s POV As days pass, Helena was still recovering. The doctors said her body needed time, that the stress of the last weeks had taken more out of her than anyone realized. I visited her every morning before the sun was fully up, sat by her bed for an hour, watched the slow rise and fall of her chest, then left for the pack house to handle what needed handling. The house was too quiet those mornings. Even my wolf used to silence could feel the difference between peace and absence. On the other hand, Liena was never home anymore. I did not know where she went most days. She did not tell me, and I did not ask. There was too much else pulling at my attention, and some quiet part of me had stopped expecting an answer even if I did ask. Pack business did not pause for anyone’s recovery, and neither did the deal I had been chasing for months. I told myself that was reason enough for the distance between I and anyone. It was weighing me down. It was easier than looking at it any ot

Liena’s POV By the time I drove back to the mansion that evening, the long driveway looked peaceful, almost too peaceful, and the silence around the house felt different from the one I had grown used to. I parked my car slowly before stepping out, taking my time as I walked toward the front door. I feel so satisfied… The mansion no longer belonged to Kael. Helena wasn’t there. Ethan wasn’t there either. The place that had once been full of their presence now stood empty, exactly as I had hoped it would. Mr. Daniel had done his job perfectly. Every document had worked exactly the way I had predicted it would. Kael had signed everything with his own hand, never realizing he was handing over the very home he had worked so hard to take from me. There was something almost amusing about how easy it had all been. A small smile settled on my lips as I walked through the quiet hallway. Everything had happened according to plan, and not once had I needed to raise my voice or fight anyon

Chapter 57 Liena's POV After the meal, Grandfather stood up and stretched his arms with a satisfied smile. "Come with me, you too.” he said, waving a hand toward the stairs. "Let me show you the room. It has all the space you two will need." He led us up the wide staircase, talking the whole way about how he had the room prepared just for us, how he wanted us to feel comfortable during our stay. I nodded along, barely listening. My mind was still stuck on why Kael had followed me here. Is he stalking me? When we reached the door, Grandfather pushed it open and gestured inside with pride. The room was large, with a nice fireplace already lit and a big bed covered in soft blankets. It smelled fresh and newly prepared. "Rest well you too," Grandfather said, patting Kael on the shoulder. "We will talk better in the morning" Then he turned and walked back down the hallway, his footsteps fading until the house grew quiet again. The moment the door clicked shut behind him, the air in

Liena’s POV The next morning, I woke to an empty bed. For a few seconds, I stayed where I was, my eyes search around the bed, around the room for kael. The room felt strangely cold without another heartbeat nearby. The blanket beside me was already cool, telling me Kael had been gone for a while. I slowly sat up and looked around. His side of the room was empty. Just then, the bathroom door stood open, as if he had forgotten to shut it. No sound of running water. No movement either. Even his jacket was gone from the chair where he had thrown it the night before. Where is he? After everything that had happened last night, I wasn’t surprised he had left before I woke up. Maybe he needed space. Maybe he was avoiding me. Either way, I didn’t have the energy to wonder where he had gone. Whichever one it is, it was for the best. I reached for my phone on the bedside table. Almost the moment my fingers wrapped around it, it started ringing. A smile spread across my face before I even
