Chapter 21 A Chance

Author: June
Elena's POV

I pushed open the door of Matthews's CEO office.

Matthews sat behind the wide desk.

His face was covered in big purple bruises, his left arm wrapped in thick white bandages and resting in a sling.

I walked straight to the desk, took the black recorder and micro-camera out of my handbag, and set them on the clear glass top.

I pressed play on the recorder.

Matthews's voice from the night before came out of it, crystal clear. "I added a little something special. I'm going to take very g

  • Found The Alpha's Secret After Rebirth   Chapter 47 You can still lean on me

    Damian's POVI waited a long time. No one came to the door.The downpour started without warning, soaking my suit jacket through. The wound in my abdomen was still bleeding, the sharp pain crawling up my nerves, but I made myself stay.Just as I lifted my hand to knock again, the door was pulled open from inside.Elena stood in the doorway in a plain, simple house sweater.Her eyes swept over my soaked clothes and finally settled on my face. There wasn't a trace of concern in them—only wariness and cold."What are you doing here?" She got straight to it, her tone flat, without the slightest intention of letting me in.I pressed a hand to the bleeding bandage at my stomach, took half a step forward, and looked into her eyes. "I took that knife for you. Elena, I came here to settle a score with you."A mocking little smile curled at the corner of her mouth. She crossed her arms, blocking the doorway. "Settle a score? Cormac told me himself, you're the one who arranged for him to be the c

  • Found The Alpha's Secret After Rebirth   Chapter 46 You'd better truly know nothing

    Damian's POVMy mind sank into a chaotic reel of memory fragments.I saw Hale Manor the year I turned ten. I shoved Elena down into the snow and turned and strode away.My back to her, my hands clenched so hard my nails cut into my palms and drew blood.Then my mother, Morgana, burst into my room.She grabbed my collar, her face twisted and vicious, and warned me, "Damian! Never go near that woman's daughter again! If you dare take one more step toward her, I'll tell the whole truth of what happened back then, right now! And when I do, our entire family, and her too, none of you will get off easy!"The scene wrenched violently.I saw myself, five years ago, sitting in Dr. Harris's consultation room.My eyes were unfocused, staring straight up at the ceiling. Harris held a pocket watch and guided me in a low voice. And I repeated the words mechanically, over and over. "I despise her. I despise Elena."I jerked my eyes open.Harsh fluorescent light hit my face. This was a premium ward in

  • Found The Alpha's Secret After Rebirth   Chapter 45 Photos

    Third Person’s POVOnce the guests below found those photos, the record of her blood's secret and her exposed body, the consequences would be beyond imagining.In the split second Elena was distracted, Cormac, who'd been at the corner, suddenly lunged.He whipped a sharp silver dagger from the pocket of his white coat and, a crazed grin on his face, drove it straight at Elena's carotid artery!"Elena!"A furious roar exploded in the corridor.The door of the second-floor lounge was smashed apart by a massive force.Damian charged into the room like an enraged beast, and without an instant's hesitation, drove his long leg hard into Cormac's chest.Cormac let out a scream and flew back, slamming brutally into the solid wall.Damian gasped for breath and turned to confirm Elena was safe.The next second, his gaze froze completely.What met his eyes was Elena's gown, pulled down to her waist, and the wide expanse of pale skin bared to the air.And what choked Damian even harder were the ph

    Elena's POVElena gripped the phone, and the blood in her limbs stopped moving in an instant. Her fingertips went cold and numb.Cormac.That name was the deepest, most extreme fear of her childhood.The sharp reek of antiseptic, the cold needle drawing her blood, and the memory of him with a camera, forcing her, so young then, to take off her clothes so he could photograph her, all of it flooded into her mind against her will.She didn't know how she'd managed to drag her stiff legs up to the ship's second floor.The second-floor corridor was dead silent, a blind spot for the cameras. The last door at the end stood half open, dim light leaking out.Elena drew a deep breath and shoved the door open.Cormac stood in the center of the room in an ill-fitting black suit. A phone in one hand, he flicked the lock on the door handle with startling speed.A click, and the door was bolted shut."Why are you here?" Elena stared at him, her body trembling beyond control, and demanded loudly, "Wha

  • Found The Alpha's Secret After Rebirth   Chapter 43 Elena, give me a chance

    Third Person’s POVThe heavy sound of Damian's furious footsteps faded from the hallway, and quiet settled back over the studio lounge.Elena felt at a loss.She stepped back, putting distance between herself and Kane, and spoke seriously. "Kane, I've only ever seen you as a brother. I don't have any other feelings for you."Kane withdrew his hand, with no resentment at being refused. "Elena, give me a chance. If you ever look for a partner, I hope I can be one of your options. And even if you truly don't have those feelings, you didn't push me away just now, so consider it me helping you strike back at Damian. Besides, a year from now, you and I will both leave Frostridge Pack. We'll have entirely new lives. Why should you care what anyone here thinks now?"Elena looked at Kane's earnest face and agreed to the arrangement, resigned.She lowered her head and seriously weighed her feelings for Kane.She had wavered for a single instant. But the next second, she forced the thought off.

  • Found The Alpha's Secret After Rebirth   Chapter 42 Kiss?

    Third Person’s POVThe crash snapped Elena back to herself.She shoved Kane away and quickly put distance between them.Her breathing was a little uneven, a flicker of embarrassment at being caught crossing her face.But she steadied fast, smoothed the skirt of the gown, and looked straight at Damian, whose face was iron-hard in the doorway."Damian, what are you doing now?" Elena frowned, her tone sharp with displeasure. "What is so important that you have to kick the door in?"Damian strode into the room, his gaze cutting back and forth between Elena and Kane, sharp and hostile.His chest heaved. He pointed out the door and demanded loudly, "Elena, this is a workplace! Every photographer, lighting tech, and crew member out there is standing by, waiting for you to keep shooting the ad. And you? You hide away in a lounge, kissing another man?""Watch your words!" A fierce anger rose in Elena, and she shot back without giving an inch. "We were not about to kiss.""Not about to kiss?"
