Alpha's Second Chance novel Chapter 214

ROSE

When I wake up, it is dark. I look at the watch and see it’s only nearly 3 AM. Enzo is still sleeping, so I carefully get out of bed and go to the bathroom. I could feel a headache coming like something was trying to take space in my head.

I have mindlinked with my family because of the family bond, so I knew what it felt like when someone tried to mindlink. But this was nothing like it. It hurt, like if someone wanted to take over my head and never leave it again. I fell to the floor, trying not to make a sound, not wanting to wake up Enzo in the other room. But then I felt a big push and a break, as if something or someone finally broke through, and the pressure disappeared.

“Hello, Rose. I am Kaila, your wolf.” I heard in my head.

“Hello,” I said in shock, the dream was right.

“I am sorry I couldn’t get through long ago. But everyone has been right. You have been feeling abandoned and broken, and the feelings were too strong for me to push through. And it only got worse when we were rejected because I also felt that pain,” she said sadly.

“I am so sorry. I wish I had been strong enough to handle everything.” I tell her.

“No, it is not your fault. I never blamed you, and meeting Enzo and Rocky started you to heal. And when you fully accepted each other and let him mark you, I felt an opening and managed to push through, just enough to also mark him. But your body needed some rest, so I waited with this part. I am sorry it hurt,” she said.

“So you never truly was gone? You were always there, waiting.” I ask her.

“Yes, Rose, I was here, waiting.” She tells me, and I feel a tear fall from my eyes.

“I am so happy you are here. You have no idea.” I tell her.

“I know. Remember, I feel it all. Now get some rest. We won’t shift yet, but soon,” she says.

“Okay,” I say.

I do my business, noticing a little blood from Enzo breaking my virtue. And stand washing my hands when I notice it. The mark of a black wolf howled at the moon while a smaller brown wolf lay down next to it.

“It is a beautiful mark. Our mate is more powerful than he says.” Kaila says.

“Yes, it is,” I say and smile before going back into the bed.

I slowly crawl back into the bed, not wanting to wake up Enzo, but as I lay down, I felt his arms go around me, pulling me close. We lay in a spoon position with my back up against him, and it felt so good and safe.

“That took time. Are you okay?” Enzo asks me in a whisper.

“Yes, better than ever,” I whisper back.
