Alpha's Second Chance novel Chapter 306

MADELEINE

It was dark when I got back to the castle, and I was tired after a very fun day. Mom had left to go home, And Juliette and Gina went to where they lived.

I walked into our wing and opened the door to our place. I was surprised to see someone I had never seen before, scrambling around searching for something.

“Who are you?” I say, and the woman freezes, slowly turning towards me.

‘Be careful, and she smells like a rouge.’ Lily says in my head.

‘Call for Lucian and Noah.’ I tell Lily back, knowing she can connect with Lucian.

“I said, who are you?” I ask again.

“Just a maid, your highness.” That gave her away, and I was still not crowned and, therefore, should not yet be called Your Highness.

“Why are you searching in my mates’ desk? I ask.

“The king asked me to fetch something for him.” She says so nervously it’s clear she is lying.

‘They are coming.’ Lily says in my head. And I relax, knowing Noah will be here soon.

“Do not lie to me, and he would have told me,” I say, and her behavior changes.

“Where are they?” She sneers at me, and I have no idea what she is talking about.

“I don’t know what you mean,” I say as I am staying by the door.

“The books, scrolls. Where are they.” She is sneering like a pissed-off wolf.

“They are not here,” I say calmly, and she slowly moves closer.

She sneers again and growls at me, and I see the slow shift she does into her wolf. I am about to tell her not to do it when the door opens, and Lucian stands in his big Lycan form. He growled dangerously as he moved to stand in the middle of us.

The rouge started whining, and I realized he was casting his aura on her, making her bend to him. He stood there looking at the whining rouge when I heard running footsteps. Logan, Olivia, and Enzo all came rushing into our apartment.

Olivia rushed to me, checking me over, but I assured her that I was not hurt, and she relaxed a little.

The rouge was bending under the power of Lucians' aura, and she was in no way able to move away. And Lucian, who was furious, stood there baring his canines, growling.

“What are you doing here? How dare you enter my home and treat my mate?” Lucian growled.
