Alpha's Second Chance by Salani

I lead Madeleine over to the bed in my tent and make her sit down, she are shaken up by what happened. I kneel down in front of her, take her hands in mine, and caress them softly. And we sit like this for a long time while she goes through her feelings and thoughts.

"I never seen my father like that." She whispers.

"Your dad has been through a lot. He felt the pain and the death of over half of your pack. He saw you almost being forced to be another wolf's mate. Something that would have broken our bond before we had the chance to build it up." I tell her softly.

She nods her head but does not answer for a long time, and her next words surprise me.

"I am ready to leave this place. Ready to be with you." She says as she raises her head and looks into my eyes.

"Me too. I look forward to you meeting my Mom and sisters." I tell her and it makes her smile a little.

I have not yet asked her about the rumors about whether she is one of the moon goodness's special wolves. But I know I need to ask her at some point, but I don't want to pressure her. So I reach up and caress her face, wanting to comfort her.
