Second Time's A Charm Novels & Stories

“Your mate rejected you a year ago. So how did he become your mate?” Charlotte lifted her chin defiantly. “Because he is my second chance mate.” I shook my head slowly. I knew it, Charlotte was lying. She might have been manipulated into agreeing to this wedding. “Second chance mates are one in a million, Charlotte. Do you really think—” “I am that one in a million,” she cut me off sharply. Her eyes were steady, unwavering. Tensio filled the air suddenly. Zac might have felt that certain heaviness too.

I pouted, attempting to scowl at Julian, but my grin betrayed me. Julian chuckled, his eyes crinkling at the corners. "You're acting like a child," he teased. "How will I introduce you to my family with that behavior?" I rolled my eyes, pretending to be annoyed. "I can act two-faced, you know?" I retorted, planting my hands on my hips. "Not only you can do that. I can face them with a serious expression, and I can also face them like this—" I gestured to my current pose, "—whichever they prefer me to be."

“It’s seven in the morning on the dot. I’m precisely on time. I have no clue what you are talking about.” Seriously! Does he think I’m blind and stupid or what? I shake my head, glaring at him as I take the mug of steaming hot coffee from him. Its steam rising from the hole in the cup's lid. “I might be seventeen and not have a wolf. But I’ve watched p**n and know what screwing sounds like. It’s obvious you and Charity haven’t marked each other, or you would both be dead. Cheating on one’s mate is a death sentence. It’s worse than going through rejection.” Taking a sip from my coffee, I punch the button for the song I’m listening to restart. “Here, listen to this song. It suits you and Chari

pizza grease on fingers, laughter echoing through the house, Debbie teasing Ryder until he threatened to dunk her in the pool. No Marcus. No fear. Just us. ~RAVEN~ Across town, the sunshine didn’t feel quite so warm. I sat at my vanity, tapping the little glass vial against the edge of a perfume bottle, watching the liquid swirl like smoke. The “love charm” shimmered purple-gray, darker than it had yesterday. The Sorceress of Blackthorn had warned me it would grow stronger with time. Perfect. I didn’t have time to waste anyway. On the bed, my phone buzzed. Cassie.

Livia caught it instinctively. Fumbling, she grabbed her cellphone from the drawer and showed him how it worked. Damian watched her every move. "You stick it like this," she said, attaching the small, star-shaped charm to the back of her phone. Under the light, it sparkled. He frowned-then paused. She had one on her phone too.

he said and leaned over to kiss my lips. "When is your flight time?" I asked once we pulled away from the breathtaking kiss. "12 O'clock," He said and raked his fingers through his hair frustratingly. "Kayish! Relax, you are just going for two days. And then you will come back to me." I assured him.

I kissed his pouted lips but he led the kiss further in his passionate way. ~~~ My heart felt heavy when his name was being called out once again for the third time. "Kayish! Go. If you waste another second simply staring at me then you will miss your flight."

- I say “You took my girl, then you took my position as Alpha, then you decided that you had to take my chance of being a father from me” - he says “I am sorry James, I’ve apologized before” - I say “That’s not enough. If I can’t have pups neither can you” - he says with evil laughter. “Alpha” - I hear a mind link “We’re ready to enter” - Charlie says “Go ahead” - I say to Charlie as I look at James

"You have gotten me this time around Charles, how I was thinking maybe it's time to give you a break but unfortunately you have just commenced the second part of the game. To be continued...

I smiled. “And he said, 'Second time’s the charm'. And usually, I thought it went by third but I guess he might’ve been right. Because that’s the only thing that makes sense. With these two, when nothing else does, it’s the fact that they always find each other.” Cory continued.
