Second Chance for the Alpha Wonders Never End
Thomas and Damon were back to work in their office when Alex, their arms master, burst in and interrupted them. He was out of breath and held a long, thin box in his hand. “The bloody thing isn’t much larger than a chopstick. Look at the box. No wonder I didn’t remember this thing.” “That’s it? What were they looking for?” Damon stomped over and looked down at the skinny, nondescript case. “This blasted thing box and all fell behind the shelving unit at some point. I guess they didn’t think to see if it was between the shelves and the wall. There’s several heavier boxes on the lower shelves, too. They may not have wanted or had time to move them to look.” Alex passed the box over to Thomas so that he could open it and have a look at the rod in its case. “More likely they didn’t think of the possibility that it could be out of place or off site. They wouldn’t have found the time to search everything fully. The records weren’t accessible either. If an
Second Chance for the Alpha Changing Gears
Haden knew the time came for him to name his successor. There were a few people in his sights. But one stood out. Sadly, it wasn’t his daughter. She’d quieted down with her human, but he couldn’t have a human as Alpha for his pack. He needed someone who could see to the safety and prosperity of the pack. Someone who would take his place in a responsible and mature manner while being young enough to give the pack a dedicated leadership that was stable. Trust was such an important thing. Watching Janine putter about, walking along the paths, chasing her wolf, and everything else reminded him that his heart wasn’t in leading anymore. Wolves lived such long lives, and without the kill or be killed mentality, they lived far longer than humans. This became an accepted practice. To pass the position on before you died. The old alpha became a mentor to the new one. Haden was tired. Tired of the stress of keeping up with all the politics and changes in the needs of others und
Second Chance for the Alpha Pack Restructure
Thomas watched Asia as she made her way about the room as people gathered for their meeting. This was a tradition of having a gathering before and after a run like this. Humans would have barbecues and wolves had nighttime runs. Of course, there would be food and drink afterward. But right now it was seeing who was there and catching up on resent events. Who’d mated and was planning a ceremony? New pups and pregnancies. Job changes and all the other things life threw at people. Not that this pack wasn’t close and most already knew about these events. No, this was a chance for gossip and politics to play a part within the community and families of the pack. Old habits died hard. These gatherings were created because once upon a time the pack lived separately and could only find the time to come together a few times in a month. Now, for safety, they lived more closely together. Times change, but traditions were enduring. Thomas was about to stand up and tell t
Second Chance for the Alpha I See Things
“Hey kiddo. How was your nap?” Eva smiled from the living room chair she sat in, as Penny came out of her room. “I needed that. It was informative.” Penny’s response had Eva perking up. What an odd thing for a child her age to say, but she’d play along. “Oh? What did it tell you?” “We’re in for some interesting times and lots of exciting changes.” Penny couldn’t know about the message sent out by Alpha Thomas about his mating to another Alpha. That would get some getting used to since it wasn’t everyday you met a female Alpha. “Hon, what are you talking about? Your father and I mating?” “Oh, that and a lot more. You’ll see. It’ll be exciting. I will finally meet Trevor.” “Who’s Trevor?” “My baby brother. He’s not born yet, but he’ll be here soon enough.” That had Eva a little disturbed. Did Penny know how pups were born? “Penny? Who’s Trevor’s mommy?” Penny looked at Eva as if she’d grown a secon
Second Chance for the Alpha A Whale of a Panic
Emily was getting large now. She couldn’t believe it, this she’d lost hope of ever experiencing. Sometimes she’d wake up and think it was all a lie. Now she could assure herself that it wasn’t. Someone was moving inside her. It was frightening and thrilling. Going in for a checkup was still, and she secretly feared bad news at any moment. But there’d been none, just morning sickness, swollen ankles, weight gain, among other surprising things. James was a madman trying to get everything just right for their pups. Emily missed being able to shift and go for a run. It made her moody and frustrated more often than not. Now with the pups due any day, she stood in the nursery and realized, things must happen faster. James was right to panic. What would they do if there were no cribs after the pups arrived?James kept telling her that everything would work out. But she’d kept so many worries to herself that she wasn’t sure any longer what was a real problem and what wasn’t.
Second Chance for the Alpha Why
“Why do you need to have a ceremony to be mates?” Penny snuck up on Eva as she dried her hair with a towel. Eva now realized life as a mother was more than anyone ever told her. She silently congratulated herself for not expressing her surprise at the child’s sudden presence. Right about then, Eva registered Penny was expecting an answer. “Why do you need to be recognized to be in the pack if you’re daddy’s mate already? Oh boy, there was a huge writhing can of worms. “Maybe you should as your dad this?” “He laughed and told me to ask you. Will you tell me? Please.” Penny was now bouncing in place with impatience. “Okay, I guess I deserve this. A trail by fire of sorts.” “What does that mean?” “Oh, geez Penny, I’m new at this all right. I’m having problems. I can’t keep up with all your questions, so hold any further questions until later.” “Okay.” Penny gave her a big grin once she knew that she’d receive her answers. “A trail by fire
Second Chance for the Alpha Setting Up for the Next Stage
“Well, that talk went badly.” Haden entered the bedroom and put his phone to charge. His features reflected his stormy mood. “What? What? What? Sorry, I was trying to work on these numbers. Who were you talking to, and how did it go badly?” Janine lay on the sofa with her feet up and a laptop on her lap. She was frowning at the screen when Haden stomped in and made his announcement. “I did as you asked me to do. I called my daughter again and told her what was going to happen after I called my Beta to set up going there to hand the pack off to Micheal is it my fault? She didn’t mate with him, but with a human? She’s not stupid. She knows a human can’t run a pack. That’s like asking a house cat to lead a pack of wild dogs. It just wouldn’t work.” Haden came to stand near Janine’s shoulders and frowned at the screen as if his expression would intimidate the numbers into righting themselves. “Check the fourth column again. I think you’ll find the error there. I
Second Chance for the Alpha Spreading the Word
Asia sat on the plane as it touched down on the tarmac a few miles from her territory. Thomas softly snored beside her. She marvelled at his ability to sleep while they travelled. That was something she didn’t have the luxury of. So, she sat there tired, wracking her brain for the words she’d tell her pack about the huge shake up that was coming everyone’s way. That wasn’t fully true. April would have spread the announcement before this. Asia would just have to explain why she was doing this. The old guard would worry about losing their distinct culture. A culture Asia no longer accepted. It was too radical and didn’t fit with the times. It formed from the need for female identity. In this day and age, it wasn’t needed. Women could stand on their own pretty much throughout the human world and the supernatural. Excluding men from the power structure only proved Asia’s point. That point was that when you limit a group of people from a particular role or job, you l
