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
Second Chance Mate Chapter thirty
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

Ethan’s POV "Fuck!" I yelled and bolted to my feet. That didn't go as planned, at all! Now that I thought about it, I didn't have a plan and I hadn't expected her to react any other way. This was all messed up and it was only going to get worse, I could feel it already. I walked out of the room and the first person I met was Lowell, surprise jumped into his eyes and he asked, "You're done already? You fucked her so fast?" I grunted and shoved him out of the way, "Move." I snapped angrily and walked into the living room. The smell of the books in my study had become intoxicating and I needed a drink. I walked over to the portable bar and poured a whole glass of Whisky for myself. "Jeez, you look worse than you did earlier. Are you sure you can finish all that Whisky?" Lowell asked, his voice laced with concern. I didn't reply, I just downed the liquor until the burning sensation in my throat became unbearable, I hadn't even drank up to half of the glass. My eyes burned and
Second Chance Mate Chapter thirty-five
Layla’s POVNot even one suspicious or accusing finger was pointed at me. The whole plan had been executed to perfection and frankly, I had to thank the dead maid. If not for her, all this wouldn’t have worked out so well and maybe a few suspicious eyes might have been directed my way. Ethan was mine now, no obstacle whatsoever, even if one tended to come in along the way, I would clear it immediately. My father wasn’t happy about Ares’s death and a few times I caught him staring at me awkwardly, I knew I had to put up an act to convince him that I had nothing to do with it. “But why would she even want to kill him? Maybe she had an encounter with him in the past? A vendetta?” He kept lamenting. “Dad, you know it’s only her that could have answered that question,” I said. “He’s dead now, we have to look at the future.” “I can’t imagine how hurt my precious little one is.” He said sympathetically. Oh, you can not imagine how happy your precious little one is, Father, I thought t
