Alpha's Second Chance novel Chapter 291

NOAH

I looked at my beautiful mate sleeping, right here in my arms. And I now know what Dad means when he says Mom is everything to him. Of course, I know we kids are, too, but I finally understand his words.

I will do anything to ensure she is happy and safe. I would go through fire, literally fire, if it meant she was safe.

‘Thank you.’ Lucian says in my mind. And he doesn’t need to say more. I know why he says thank you.

I can feel him and Lily connecting in our minds. And I feel the link between them, as strong as the one I now feel between Madeleine and myself. So I don’t answer. I know I don’t have to.

A mark has formed on her neck, and it looks like me and her in our lycan and wolf form and a full moon. Lucian is holding her while the moon above shines on them, and flowers and leaves flow around them. It’s a beautiful mark, but others are either black or red, between Alpha and their mate. Or Dad and Mom's, which are both black and red. This has all the right colors of fur and green leaves, as well as yellow and white flowers. It is magical to look at, but I have never seen or heard of a mark like this.

After a few hours, Madeleine begins to move in my arms, and I look at her as her beautiful green eyes open.

“Good morning, beautiful,” I say and smile when she blushes.

“Did you not sleep?” She asks, and I kiss her.

“No, I just relaxed and looked at you,” I tell her, and she blushes more.

I see her eye go to my neck, and then I am surprised when she sees the mark. She lifts a hand and softly touches the mark, and her eyes soften.

“I have never seen or heard of a mark like this.” She whispers.

“Neither have I.” I say softly and smile.

“It is so beautiful and special.” She says, and I agree.

“What now?” She asks.

“Now, I hope you want to move in here with me,” I say, knowing I won’t force her, but she just smiles at me.
