Alpha's Second Chance novel Chapter 257

Hello all.

First. Thank you all for your support and for reading my books. I hope you enjoyed the last two stories. I have been sick but am making plans for another small one about one more of the kids: Noah. Enjoy it.

NOAH

Before I knew it, I stood up, looking around in my dark room, confused, my powers exploding around me again.

“Noah!” I hear Dad’s voice but don’t register it properly before he turns on the light.

“Noah, focus, son. Look at me!” He demands, but it doesn’t work on me anymore, but I look at him anyway.

“Breathe slowly.” He says, and I do as he says.

“Good, keep going. You can do it. You don’t want to hurt people, your mom, sisters, the pack.” He says calmly.

And I don’t, but I have a hard time controlling my aura, or we can call it power, ever since my first change in the basement where Rose and I had been held prisoner. I steady my breath to follow Dad’s, and it works. I slowly calmed down.

“Sorry, Dad, I am sorry,” I say almost in a whisper.

“Don’t be sorry, son. It is not your fault. No one blames you for going through this.” Dad says and hugs me. And soon after, I feel Mom join the hug, too.

“Sorry, mom,” I say, I hate hurting her.

“Oh, don’t be silly. A little power won’t hurt me.” She says, but I can hear traces of pain in her voice and nod my head.

“Go back to bed, son,” Dad says. And I nod my head.

“You okay, brother?” I hear Nadia from the door and see her and Nora looking in. And nod my head again. They all leave my room, and I sit on my bed, concentrating on breathing.

He wanted Enzo to suffer and even tried accusing him of having a son, but DNA proved that it was a lie. So he kidnapped Rose and me. Because he now wanted to be the true king and wanted my powers.

The Moment I turned Eighteen, I saw him ripping my newborn nephew out of my sister's arms, wanting to use him to hear Enzo again. At that moment, my powers exploded, and the suppression of my powers was gone. My Lycan was furious and forced our chance so fast I couldn’t do anything. He wanted to protect Rose and our nephew, and so did I.

At that moment, Dad, Enzo, Mom, and others found us, but I had already killed Alpha Carlos.

We got home safe, Rose with Enzo and their son, my nephew Antonio. I’m happy he won’t remember the traumatic birth he had. But on the fun side, he will have his birthday on the same day as me.

Usually, there would have been a big party for my eighteenth birthday. But the way everything happened in that basement made me scared. There I said it: I am afraid, terrified to hurt innocent people like my family. Scared that I won’t live up to my responsibility, I fear I will be alone.

I didn’t tell anyone about that, how can I? I am supposed to be the giant king, the savior of our world, whatever that means. But Dad and Mom agreed to let me wait until next year to have a big party. And I am grateful for that. It gives me time to find myself after what happened. It was time to forgive myself for killing a man, even if he deserved it. More importantly, I want to learn to work with my Lycan.

Eventually, I lay down and fell asleep.
