Alpha's Second Chance novel Chapter 171

OLIVIA

As we drive into The Dark Forest Pack, I can not help but feel strange. This pack had been my home for most of my life, and I had fled from it in the hope of a better life. And now over a year later, I am back, but now I am mated, have two kids and I am the queen.

We drive all the way to the packhouse, and I see that Carter is standing outside the house waiting for us, along with some packmembers. When the car stops I can’t help but swallow hard because I am nervous, and I feel Dad take my hand.

“It will be okay, Muffin,” He says and I nod my head.

“I know, Dad. I am just.” I don’t finish, but he smiles.

“Nervous.” Dad finish.

“Yes,” I say.

“Don’t be, remember. This was our home once, and Alpha Carter is our friend and ally.” Dad tells me.

“Plus, Kyle and I are here too, sis,” Matt says, and I see that he and Kyle are both looking at me.

“We will keep you safe, my queen,” Kyle promised.

“Thank you,” I say and smile

“Okay, let’s do this,” I say, and they chuckle.

I take a deep breath then knock on the window, and the warriors standing by my door open it for me and reach out a hand to help me out. When I get out I see that it is Jason and behind the car is Jacob, who bows his head to me.

“Jacob. It's good to see you. How’s Shannon and the pups?” Shannon had given birth to the pup she was pregnant with when she and her parents came back to the pack.

And a DNA test had shown it was indeed her first mate, who had been killed, who was the father. Not long after a few months, she had gone into heat and had gotten pregnant with Jacob’s pup. So now they had two pups, and Jacob treated them both as if were they his, which was nice to see, as it's not unheard of that the new mate doesn’t like the pups their new mate has.

“They are doing well, both the pups and Shannon.” He says and smiles.

“I’m happy to hear that. And I appreciate that you are here.” I say and smile back.

“You are our queen. I am happy to be here to make sure you are safe.” He says, and I turn to the other warriors.

“It counts for you all, and I appreciate that you are all here, especially now,” I say and bow my head to everyone, and they all bow their heads.

I turn toward Carter and smile, bowing my head before I walk over to him and those of his packmembers who are here with him.

“My Queen.” He says and shows that he submits by bowing his head deeply for me. And the others do the same.

“Alpha Carter, stand straight, everyone do please. We are the quests here, it is your home.” I tell them, and everyone straightens up.

“It is an honor to have you here,” Carter says.

“It’s us who thank you for letting us come,” I answer and smile.
