Alpha's Second Chance

MADELEINE

I felt him. I don't know why I feel him like this, but I know he is coming, and I know he is close by. Dad is frustrated. He is an Alpha, and being on the run is so un- Alpha-like that it hurts his pride. Blaise is frustrated, too. He is the pack's next Alpha and just saw that his future is being taken away. I know nothing I say will help, so I say nothing.

I feel the king so close now, and then we hear paws, and I get excited, thinking it must be him. We are saved. I stand up, and so do Dad and Blaise, and I am just about to tell them not to attack when the door is kicked up.

Horror fills my heart and head when I see it is the rouge leader, not the king. I back up behind my Dad and brother because I know it is me he wants. I search my mind, feel for the king in my mind, and call for help.

"Did you really think you could keep hiding?" The rouge leader said.

"Leave. You already destroyed our home. Leave us be. We are no treat for you now." Dad tells him

"Oh, but I can not possibly leave my young mate." The rouge says.

"She is not your mate, and you know it. So leave and let her find her true mate." Dad growls.

"No, I need her. She will be treated well as long she does as told." The rouge says, looking at me with hungry eyes.

"I will never let you take her," Dad growls, and then they attack each other.

'Help, I know you here, I can feel you, I have been feeling you for days if you hear me. He is here. He has found us. Please help, save us.' I try to say in my mind that I am not at all sure it will work, but I have to try, and I am shocked when he

answers.

'I am coming. I am on my way.' His powerful voice says in my head.

NOAH

Fuck, fuck, fuck. I look at the warriors, and I know they can handle the rouges outside, but maybe more is coming now he found them.

'Dad, Enzo. I found them. But the rouges leader are here. I'm sure more is coming.' I say

'We are on our way.' They both tell me, and I send them my location. And change to my human form.

Growls and small screams reach me, and I know I can not wait. I growl, let my powers free, and my aura spread over the area. Then, I start moving. I run towards the cottage and kill two rouges who try to stop me.

I kick the already broken door so it breaks completely. Inside, I see a guy around my age a woman who is trying to shield a young woman. Then I see Alpha Louis barely standing but refusing to give up.

I growl. The two men stop and look at me, and the rouge leader sneers when he sees me.

"Who are you," He sneers, and I laugh.

"Me? I am someone you don't want to challenge." I say, and I can see in his eyes that he can hear my accent. I am from America.

"You are American." He says.

"Yes, I am. And I am more than that. I am the son of the American king. I am THE king. The king over all kings." I say, shifting back to my Lycan and Lucian growls.

The rouge king looks at me, and his attitude changes momentarily before returning to how he first was.

"This is a personal matter and not something a king need to use his time on." The rouge says, and I laugh.

"You are right. It is a personal matternoveldrama

but not for the

reasons you think.

Alpha Louis and his family are very dear to my family. Plus, my fated mate is the she-wolf you are trying to force into being your mate. Sol am sure you can now understand why this is also a personal matter to me." I growl and hear the gasps coming from Madeleine's mother.

The rouge growls, but he knows from all the rumors and my aura that he does not have a chance against me. He slowly begins to back most likely to run away. But he is backing up against a solid wall of Dad and Enzo.

s the broken door net

Dad grabs him and instantly catches him in handcuffs, and the rouge growls.

"You rouges fled; they have gone, and you are coming with us so Alpha Louis can deal you the proper punishment," Dad growls and drags the rouge away.

Alpha Louis looks at me, then bows his head before he and his son help the two women to get out.

When Madeleine and I are alone, I slowly turn to look at her. She is busy trying to brush her clothes for dirt, and it makes me smile. I walk over to her and grab her hands to make her stop, and she does but looks at the floor.

"Look at me, please," I ask her softly, and she shakes her head.

"I look like a mess, and I'm all dirty." She whispers.

"You look like a girl who has survived hell and back. There is no shame in that.

Only pride." I whisper slowly, and she is quiet for a while.

"I felt I knew you were coming." She whispers.

"Of course, I felt you. Please look at me." I softly say again, and she slowly looks

up and our eyes meet.

"Mate," I whisper

"Mate." She whispers back.
