All Chapters of The White Wolf Heiress: My Alpha Begs For A Second Chance : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Chapter 31Yvonne's PovI pressed a hand against my chest trying to steady the frantic beating of my own heart, although nothing in this endless white space seems to actually need calming.My body felt strange here.The Great Wolf watched me with care and patience in its eyes, completely unbothered by the panic I couldn't quite hide.“Breath child,” she said, though the word sounded simple, but it carried a kind of weight that settled in my chest. “You are not in danger here, not while I am still speaking with you.”“I am the one who lives within you,” she continued, her voice soothingly calm in a way that made my worries melt. “Your white wolf. The oldest part of you, older than the name Yvonne, older than the bloodline that carries you. I have slept quietly for most of your life, waiting for the moment you finally need me.”“But, why don't I know you?” I asked, my voice small.“Because you have never been ready to look at me directly,” she said. “Not until now. Before I let you carr

Chapter 33Yvonne's Pov “I told you kids to stop running in the hallway.” Ronan's voice came from down the corridor, his voice sounding warm and amused.He didn't sound like the cold man I remembered him to be.I turned towards the sound of the voice while still kneeling down with my arms wrapped around two small bodies and found him leaning against the doorway with a small warm amused smile.“Ronan—” the words cracked as my voice sounded strained.I turned to look at him and then back at the kids still clinging to my neck.“You look like you've just seen a ghost.” He teased, chuckling softly as he crossed the room in a few strides.He crouched down towards me and pressed a kiss on my lips before I could even react, it felt gentle and familiar in a way that stole the breath straight out of my lungs.“Ew!” The two kids shouted at once, their faces with a big horrifying look.“Don't worry, you'll both understand better when you're older,” Ronan told them with his lips still curved in

Chapter 35Yvonne's PovThe voice moved around me in the darkness, cold and unfamiliar. It was nothing like the warmth I had felt from the Great Wolf.“Wrong choice,” it whispered again, closer this time. “You could have kept them. You could have stayed.”My heart pounded hard against my chest as fear climbed up my throat, but I forced myself to remember everything I had already survived to get here.I had chosen to leave, it was the right thing to do. None of that was going to make me doubt myself.“No,” the words came out sharp, making my voice shake, but I kept it steady. “I made the right choice. Whatever you are, you can't tell me otherwise.”Suddenly, the whispering stopped completely.Light slowly appeared around me, pushing the darkness away until the endless white space returned.The Great Wolf stood waiting.The diamond-shaped mark on her forehead brought out faint light, and her eyes remained calm after everything that had just happened.“That voice was not judging your

Chapter 37Gideon's PovI haven't set foot in Celeste's room since the fight with Julian.It wasn't only because of the guilt, though there was plenty of that. The last time I stood in that doorway, my knuckles were split, my brother's blood was on my hand, and the only voice that had reached me through my anger was hers, pleading for us to stop.I didn't trust myself to walk back in without my temper finding another reason to take over.Two nights of ward posts had passed since then. Julian and I had spent those nights scraping symbols into old wood in near silence, slowly remembering how to be brothers again.He had offered to come with me this morning, but I told him no.Celeste had already seen the two of us at our worst.“She asked for us,” Renata said.She met me in the corridor with a notebook pressed against her chest.“The healer brought the message an hour ago. Celeste says she'll talk, but only if it's quiet.”“Quiet,” I repeated, the word sounded strange in my ears.Rena

Chapter 39Yvonne's PovWhen I opened my eyes again, I was staring at the familiar silver ceiling of Silvercrest beneath a gray morning sky.Gideon's voice broke through the faint ringing in my ears.“Yvonne? Yvonne, can you hear me?”I pushed myself to sit upright.Every muscle in my body hurt, and my head felt heavy, but I was awake and alive.Gideon's face was inches away from mine. His face filled with so much relief and fear.Behind him, I saw several other faces filling the small chamber. Guards. Warriors. Everyone looked frozen, as if they had been waiting for me and had been too afraid to breathe.“How long was I gone?” I asked.My voice sounded strange to me, rough from not being used.Gideon swallowed.“You've been gone for three days now.”“Three days?” My eyes widened as I repeated his exact words.“Three days,” he repeated, his voice tight with exhaustion. “Nothing we tried could reach you, and we could find your body. When we found you outside the estate, you weren't cons
