Half A Chance Book Novels & Stories

My grandmother patted my shoulder, soothing me. "Nightmares always end." I nodded. Not everyone gets a second chance at life. But everyone has the chance to wake up from a nightmare. If you ever feel trapped in one, you must wake up and save yourself—no matter how many times it takes.

Caspien danced, letting the music take him wherever. He couldn't see Arkin anymore. Just a while ago, he was surrounded by several women, including a famous actress. Caspien didn't notice he was drifting away. He just kept drinking, grabbing whatever was on the trays that passed by him. He didn't even know what he was drinking. All he knew was that there was a sweet, burning sensation in his throat.

He has been nice to me since I arrived, but it doesn’t mean we are friends. “What's the name?” Eric says, pulling me away from my thoughts. “What?” I ask, blinking my eyes as I return back to Earth. “The name of the book she sent you to the dungeons for.” “Oh, uhm… A Second Chance by Amal A. Usman.” “Okay.” After that, he doesn’t say anything and maintains silence the whole ride back to the castle. I wonder why he asked, but don’t voice it out. As I said, him being nice to me doesn’t mean we are friends.

I panicked and tried to snatch the book but Enzo quickly held my hand and smirked before letting me go as he walked towards Jade's. Jade cleared her throat and stood up straight with a devilish grin on her face. "Okay here it is, listen guys. January 17, 3:45 p.m. I haven't seen him around, he wasn't with his friends either. I don't know where he was, I hope to see him before this day end, my energizer..." Jade even soften her voice reading my diary. "Aw! Our little Charlie here is in love! What if you read more!" Mae joined as they started to cheer. "More! More! More! More!"

Not that it was any better before but I would trade my present life to get the former back. Two years ago, while celebrating the full moon. I met my mate the Alpha. Trust me nothing could have prepared me for that day. I had always wanted to be mated with someone who would love and care for me but I guess that was not my fate. I was intoxicated by a smell while having a drink at one corner of the hall. I was very happy to find my mate, so I followed the fresh sandalwood scent. I found him at the center of the hall. I guess he was looking for me too because he kept looking around.

After a few minutes I drifted off. I woke up and when I checked the time it was 2am, I saw that Chance was no longer in bed I wonder where he went, I was craving some ice cream so I went to the kitchen but on my way there I saw lights on in the study. I went in and saw Chance on his desk with bottles of whiskey in his hand some were empty and others were half full. When I got closer he had a picture of Emma in his hand. 'I failed her.' he says out of nowhere then proceeded to take a huge sip.

Obedience. I leaned my body in the chair. The computer screen blinked, a new notification. An email without a sender. I clicked before thinking. The message was empty, but there was a picture attached. The image was blurry, taken from the riverbank. And there he was. Lancelot. Half human, half wolf. Pale skin, golden eyes reflecting the light. He seemed to look straight at the camera. Or at me.

I said, offering my sister-in-law a sad smile before taking another sip of my wine. "You're not wrong, Mrs. Hunter. Our table is very exclusive. The annoying human made it to the table though. You can too. Your kids aren't nearly as ice cold as they pretend to be. You just have to want a place in their lives and they'll readily give it to you," said Chance, replacing the wine in my hand with a bread stick. "Isn't that right, baby girl?" "I'm not a baby, you know," I said with a pout, but I bit into it anyway.

' Chance's voice booms in my head, startling me enough to give my opponent an opening. Before I can regain my advantage, he snags my paw and heaves, tossing me into a line of his buddies. 'I was.' I huff, managing to dodge a sword that one of the men wielded. Steadying myself, I look around at the four men that are beginning to close in around me. Fuck, how was I supposed to get out of this? 'Hang on!' Chance's growls through mindlink. 'I'm coming.' 'Got it.' Within seconds, one of the men is tackled by Chance, startling the others and giving me the perfect opportunity to attack.

"Five years. He proposed, but something told me no. It was the first time I followed my instincts, and now, just when we were finally going to get married, something inside me was restless, and that's it. Single again." "You're beautiful. You'll find someone who will make your heart race and share a life with you," he began to say. "When you least expect it, they'll come along..." Emma shook her head. "The chances of having another romantic interaction have diminished," she paused, remembering. "As a child, I used to flip a coin when I couldn't make up my mind. If it landed on one side and I felt disappointed, then I knew what I wanted..." The bartender nodded curiously.
