Second Chance Mate Chapter twenty six
Ethan’s POV I was late.That was usual, I was always late to everything and I didn’t care. I was Ethan after all, there wasn’t anyone that could question me for arriving late. That was why I wasn’t in a hurry to go down, I took my time in the shower and even when the maids set my favorite suit on the bed, I didn’t put it on immediately. I sat on my desk with only a towel, smoking a cigar and staring out of the window. Today was going to be quite a day, I just hoped I wasn’t putting Ariah in harm’s way. Well fuck that, even though there was danger, I would be there to protect her. I stubbed out my cigar and dressed up, as usual, I looked good. A three-piece suit tailored just for me was always the charm. When I told Lowell about what had happened between Ariah and me, he didn’t even act surprised. All he said was, “Really? That took way less time than I expected. And you say she’s coming with us to the feast? We'd better get a dress ready for her.” “What do you mean it took way
Second Chance Mate Chapter twenty-seven
Ariah’s pov There was the awkward way the lady was looking at me, I couldn’t ignore it and I would have given Ethan the signal only if he was still holding my hand. My focus hadn’t even been on her, throughout the entire ride to this place, I had already made up my mind on what to do. The first thing I had to do was survey the entire hall and watch out for Alpha James, if I didn’t see him there, good. If I did, then I had to get away with any excuse I could cook up. I was a little relieved when Ethan held my hand as we walked in, I was looking around in a desperate search for Alpha James or anyone at all who looked like him when the girl and her father approached us. When she looked down at the way Ethan held my hand and I saw the look in her eyes, I recognized it instantly. A lady knew when another lady was jealous but this one’s eyes just flickered with a little jealousy and a lot of curiosity. When I shook the man’s hand, I didn’t want to, I didn’t want to relate with anyone
Second Chance Mate Chapter twenty-eight
Layla’s POV Ethan was the man for me.That was my conclusion the moment I set my eyes on him again that night. He was everything I wanted, his presence alone emanated a strong aura and dominance over everyone else in the room that sent a warmth into my heart. This was the kind of man I needed by my side, one who had power and knew how to use it and carry himself. Before the feast, I told my father to take care of one thing for me and although he was reluctant and had asked so many questions, he still did it. Ares, my husband, was kept away from the feast, my dad sent him on a pointless errand. When it came to my father, Ares was like a dog to him, he respected my father and obeyed his every command. I had plans for Ares, one that would see me end up with Ethan without any controversy, my father had no idea about it. It was just my little, evil plan, let’s just say a tweak in the whole play. The first thing I noticed was the way Ethan held the hand of the beautiful lady by his s

Ariah’s POVI couldn't have gotten out more quickly. It was already so intoxicating and when Ethan held my hand, I clasped his firmly. I didn't want to let go until we got into the limousine and that was when he let go of my hand. I was finally happy to get away from all those people, most of all, I didn't see or bump into Alpha James, that was the biggest relief of the night. But I had a lot of questions about the lady that seemed to cling to Ethan all night. That wasn't all, it was as if everyone was working together to ensure that they were close to each other, especially her father. I knew that where they had directed Lowell and me to sit wasn't a coincidence, they had purposely kept us away from Ethan. And then her father's little speech, the way he had praised Ethan seemed so wrong to me and I knew something was going on. Something just felt off but I couldn't place a finger on it. I thought I would spend the whole night with Ehan but that wasn't the case at all, it was

Layla’ POV I was pretty pissed off. Even as I went up the stairs while the dance was going on to inspect the poison the maid had gotten, there was a glowered look on my face. The whole night I had been looking forward to dancing with Ethan, to feeling his arms around me when the music got slow and the lights got dimmer. But then, he left, he just left and the way he held Ariah again made it even worse. What kind of friend was that? She was probably the reason he had to leave so early, it had to be. He had mentioned that she didn't like being around so many people and truthfully, I even noticed how uncomfortable she was. But I didn't care about that! It was none of my fucking concern! Now with nothing to do for the night, I was going to perfect my plan and everything else, it had to go perfectly so that it wouldn't arouse any suspicions. I walked into my bedroom and the maid handed a little bag to me, inside it was a glowing, powdery purple substance. "Nice, you got it from the

Layla’s POVAll I wanted to talk about was Ethan.Lately, he was all that crowded my mind, all I thought of, and the only man I truly wanted. My dad loved and cherished me so much that if I wanted attention, he gave it to me instantly. Just like now, he closed the documents on his desk and took off his small reading glasses, and wiped them before putting them in their case. "So, what interests my darling?" He asked. There was a question I had been meaning to ask for a long time, "Why is it that very few people know of Ares and I? King Ethan doesn't even know I'm married. Do you know what he said?" I asked and my father shook his head as he gave me his undivided attention. "He said he heard it was a rumor! Just a rumor? Most people think I'm single and it gets me so agitated at times." I lied, my voice was almost sad. "Really?" My dad asked, his eyes wide with surprise. "Of course, Dad, if I'm married, I want the whole fucking world to know," I replied, it was a good act. "We

Ethan’s POVAs the days went by, my love for Ariah only grew and the bond between us started to blossom. That wasn’t all, the uncertainties increased and so did the threats about the war. The elders were starting to become agitated and I had met them four times in the past two weeks over this same issue. I didn't even know how to tell Ariah about the whole thing, I didn't want to hurt her, she was too dear to me now. But then I knew that if I didn't tell her and she got to find out after the whole issue had been sealed, that would break her more. Even Lowell said the same thing the day he was in my study and I could hardly focus on what he was saying. "What's bugging you, Ethan?" He asked suddenly. "What? What about the deal?" I asked absentmindedly. He sighed, "Fuck that, that's not what I'm talking about now." He said firmly. "What's up with you? You aren't even focused on what I'm saying. You have been like this for a while but it's worse today." He said, his face clouded
Second Chance Mate Chapter thirty-three
My love life with Ethan had been something marvelous, I could have never imagined that it would end up this way. Trust me, after the traumatic experience at my pack in the hands of Alpha James, I thought I would never find love again, but I guess I did have some good fortunes left in me. For about two weeks, we became closer and closer, but then I noticed something that bothered me each time Ethan left me. There were always deep lines on his forehead and a worried look on his face, instincts told me something was wrong. It was something he was trying to keep away from me and that made me curious and even worried. Whenever he was not with me, there was a grumpy frown on his face but when he saw me, he forced a smile. This particular day, I was going to receive the news that would shatter my dreams and smear the perfect life I had been living for the past two weeks. Ethan had just left the conference room where he had a meeting with the elders of the pack and as usual, he had that f
