Alpha’s Second Chance Chapter 74

‘Good boy. Good luck.’ He finishes and the connection closes. The New head warrior is amazing. Incredibly strong and skilled. And even though everyone was skeptical in the beginning, Mr. Klaus quickly made us all forget that. And I saw our Luna fight. Even she has

some crazy skills. But that is probably why she fits so well with our Alpha.

I continue to follow the scent, and it leads me deeper into the forest. As I go deeper, the scents also begin to grow stronger. And now I can better smell the other scent must have been masked somehow because now it is easier to smell the sour smell that we all know

comes from rouges.

‘Sir?’ I mindlink Mr. Klaus.

‘Yes, Jacob?’ he answers so fast I know he must have been waiting for me.

‘One of the other scents must have been masked either by magic or something else. I have gotten closer and can smell it is rouge. The other one smells like a human.’ I tell him.

‘Then you have to be extra careful, Jacob.’ He answers.

‘I will be, sir.’ I promise him.

The connection closes, and I call forward my wolf’s powers of stealth. No one knows why I have this power, but obviously, we found out when I got my wolf and shifted.

I quietly move forward, hidden and hard to see. As I follow the scent, I know I am getting closer. Just as I am sticking my head out from my hiding spot, my heart freezes, and I can feel the ice poking my heart from what I am about to witness.

Three girls are tied up and stretched

open on what looks like homemade crosses full of blood. I slowly move closer to them and can say that whoever these girls are, they have been here for a while. I see two of them are awake, but the last one looks like she is dead. I get close to the last girl and shift back to my human form and check her pulse, but as I suspected, she is not alive. I move closer to the two remaining girls and find something to cover them up with.

“Where is he?” I whisper. One of the girls turns her head towards an old tiny cottage. I move fast, taking the knife my wolf had been carrying for me while being in our shifted form and cutting open the ropes that keep the two other girls caught. I can smell they are both wolves, so I hope they can shift.

Then a scream that hurt every bone in my heart sounds from behind the cottage. I shift and get closer when I can see a cave just behind the cottage, and that’s where the scream came from.

Moving into the cave in my wolf

form is easy because of the dark. So when I reach the back of the cave, I am very well hidden. But before I can do anything; it feels like my soul is splitting up in two. The rouge is busy assaulting a human girl. But not just any girl. I feel the pull towards her and know she is my mate. But just in that second it takes me to realize it, it is too late. I see the blood dripping the second he tops her throat out, and in that second, I feel the loss of my mate that I never even saw the eyes off.

I feel the cries of my wolf, and before I know it, he attacks the

rouge who has still not seen us. And attacks its neck, ripping off the head, before giving back control and forcing me to shift into my human form again, falling to the ground. I look around, feeling weak in my broken soul, and notice a she-wolf tied up in a corner.

I find my knife on the floor where my wolf dropped it, and I stand up and wobble my way over to the wolf. I managed to cut open the rope on her hands before I dropped it and fell. Now I understand what others meant when they said losing a mate is one’s worst nightmare. ‘Sir. I found my target.’ I manage to get through to Mr. Klaus.

‘Jacob? Are you okay?’ he asks me right away.

‘I will explain when we get back.’ That is all I manage to answer before everything goes black.
