Second Chances

„Caroline wurde von ihrem Partner, mit dem sie vier Jahre lang zusammen war, zurückgewiesen, weil sie geruchlos war – ein Makel, den kein Werwolf akzeptieren konnte. Ihr Partner machte stattdessen ihrer Cousine einen Heiratsantrag. In dieser Nacht, mit gebrochenem Herzen und gedemütigt, ließ sie sich von ihrer besten Freundin zu einem Maskenball schleppen. Sie gab sich einem maskierten Alpha hin, der geheimnisvoll und umwerfend gut aussah. Sie nannten einander nicht ihre Namen. Nur eine wilde Nacht voller leidenschaftlicher Küsse und rauer Berührungen. Er drückte sie gegen die Wand, sein kräftiger Körper presste sich an ihren, während sie unter seinem gierigen Mund stöhnte. Was sie für eine süße Affäre auf eine Nacht gehalten hatte, führte zu einer unerwarteten Schwangerschaft. Drei Jahre später hat Caroline ihr Leben in einem neuen Rudel neu aufgebaut, ihre Vergangenheit verborgen und ihren Sohn großgezogen. Doch ihr neuer Chef, Alpha Draven, ist rücksichtslos, kontrollsüchtig und gefährlich attraktiv … Vor allem diese violetten Augen – dieselben, die sie jeden Tag in den Augen ihres Sohnes sieht. Alpha Draven quält sie bei der Arbeit, doch sie trotzt ihm bei jeder Gelegenheit. Er weiß nicht, dass sie die Frau ist, nach der er seit jener schicksalhaften Nacht gesucht hat. Während er noch immer auf der Suche nach seiner wahren Gefährtin ist, ahnt er nicht, dass sie bereits in seinem Büro sitzt … und seinen Erben großzieht.“

« Caroline s’était fait rejeter par son compagnon, avec qui elle était depuis quatre ans, parce qu’elle n’avait pas d’odeur. Un défaut qu’aucun loup-garou ne pouvait accepter. Son compagnon avait préféré demander en mariage sa cousine. Cette nuit-là, le cœur brisé et humiliée, elle s’était laissée entraîner par sa meilleure amie à un bal masqué. Elle s’était donnée à un Alpha masqué, mystérieux et d’une beauté renversante. Ils n’avaient pas échangé leurs noms. Juste une nuit endiablée, faite de baisers passionnés et de caresses brutales. Il l’a plaquée contre le mur, son corps puissant se pressant contre le sien tandis qu’elle gémissait sous sa bouche avide. Ce qu’elle pensait être une douce aventure d’un soir s’est transformé en une grossesse inattendue. Trois ans plus tard, Caroline s’est reconstruit une vie au sein d’une nouvelle meute, cachant son passé et élevant son fils. Mais son nouveau patron, l’Alpha Draven, est impitoyable, dominateur et dangereusement séduisant… Surtout ces yeux violets, les mêmes qu’elle voit chaque jour chez son fils. Alpha Draven la tourmente au travail, mais elle le défie à chaque occasion. Il ignore qu’elle est la femme qu’il recherche depuis cette nuit fatidique. Alors qu’il est toujours à la recherche de sa véritable compagne, il n’a aucune idée qu’elle se trouve déjà dans son bureau… et qu’elle élève son héritier. »

My name is Katia; I want to find my fated mate and live a peaceful life raising our pups. The problem is I have holes in my memories and don’t understand who or what I am. I know I am a werewolf, but I am also something else. Rejection is the last straw! I am not worthy is the reason he gives. The pain doubles me over; my wolf is whimpering in my head, and tears are running down my face. I whispered my acceptance of his rejection and took off running. I ran through the pack house out across the green manicured lawn into the forest. "I'm sorry, my sweet girl," I say to my wolf. I'm sorry you have been stuck with me, and our life has been difficult. She whispers," It's not your fault, Katia." I don't know how long or far we ran, but we came to a cliff with a waterfall. The pain from the rejection is unbearable, and the hurt keeps pounding at me. I know I am missing something. Aza, my wolf, feels it, too; she says we are more than regular werewolves and are here for a reason. We cannot remember the reason. I stand staring at the water running over and down, creating the fall. I wonder what the reason is for the millionth time. Why can I or Aza not remember? Does it have something to do with the way others treat us? The way we have been sent to live with different people since the death of our parents? Does it have something to do with why my fated rejected me? I am tired of figuring out why our memories do not make sense. My sweet girl and I want peace, but we do not know how to obtain it. I stand staring into the oblivion of the pool at the bottom of the waterfall. So I stand there rejected, half a wolf, speaking with my Wolfie, my nickname for Aza, debating what we should do next. Someone was yelling my name from the direction I ran. I do not want to go back there. I hear laughter. Turning, I glance down over the cliff. There is another pack having a barbecue. The adults are laughing and watching the pups play. What looks to be the Alpha, beta, and gamma of the pack are in the water playing Marco Polo with some of the children. They look so happy and carefree. I want that. I wonder if Aza and I ever have a life like that.

In my first life, I begged. In this one, I collect. I gave Alpha Roan Whitlock seven years. I scrubbed his floors while my sister wore my mother's ring. I forgave the rejection, the public humiliation, the "she's just a friend" — right up until the night he and my sister stood over me on the cliff path, and I learned exactly how far a Luna falls. Then I opened my eyes — eighteen again, on the morning of the mating ceremony where everything went wrong. This time I don't wait for Roan to reject me. I say the words first, in front of the whole pack, and I watch seven years of my wasted devotion drain out of his smug face. This time I see every trap before my sister sets it, because she already played her whole hand — in a life only I remember. And this time, when the ceremony ends, I walk straight past both of them and petition the one wolf my first life taught me to fear for all the wrong reasons: Kieran Ashvale, the Alpha King of the North, the "cold monster" who — I learned three breaths before I died — was the only one who ever tried to save me. They say the Moon gives no second chances. Then someone should tell the Moon what I plan to do with mine — because rewriting my own fate is just the beginning. Somebody up there sent me back for a reason. And the reason has teeth.
