Alpha's Second Mate

T W O

Mia’s P.O.V

My name is Mia Jane, the only daughter of my parents and the lovely sister of my brother ‘Alpha Eric’. After my father’s death, he was the Alpha of our pack. He loved me unconditionally. But I still didn’t understand why he separated me from him? Six years ago, he left me there in Italy, with my Nanny. He used to visit but he never took me home. Nanny always said that he did it for my protection, but how should I explain to them that I needed my brother’s affection rather than my confidence? But he promised me that when I turned eighteen I could go home.

I had my wolf at twelve. I shifted earlier than the rest of my age group in the pack, but my mate wasn’t around.

I’m still waiting for my destined mate. I just wanted a mate who would love me and take care of me for the rest of my life. I had promised her that I would only marry my mate and no one else. I don’t have a boyfriend, nor do I want one.

~At 9:00am

‘Honey gets up. It’s too late. Today is your birthday.” I was deep asleep when I heard this voice. I sat up with a jolt.

“Has my brother come?” I asked, chirping happily. Nanny smile at me.

“Not yet, he is just about to arrive. You are fresh and come for breakfast.” Nanny said, kissing my cheek. Today was a big day for me.

I freshened up and went downstairs. My brother has still not arrived. He was going to pick me up on his private jet. I just wait for him to sit at the dining table. Nanny insisted I eat something but I couldn’t. Today I just want one thing; to go home.

"Honey, eat something, it's getting cold, Alpha must have been caught up in some work." Nanny placed a glass of milk in front of me; I was staring at the table with teary eyes.

“No I am not hungry." I was just about to cry. My brother promised me that he would be here at 9:00 AM but he forgot his promise. Then there was a knock on the door and I, who was about to get up happily, sat down again, seeing Albert.

“Hey, what happened? The atmosphere is very bad there?” Albert said in a teasing tone. I looked at him angrily. He was well dressed in a black suit, looking gorgeous.

Albert is my childhood friend, he always supports me. He is the only one with whom I share everything. He often comes here and we talk for hours. My brother didn’t mind either. He looked at my sad face and told me.

“He must be busy with some work so he called and asked me to take responsibility for dropping his sweet sister at the airport. Once there, he will pick you up.” He said, looking into my teary eyes. He could not let me be sad, not for a moment, I know that. Hearing this, I jumped happily. I hugged him with the utmost pleasure.

‘But you have to finish this breakfast,” he said to me, and I obeyed immediately.

“Won’t you go with me?” I asked while eating. I don’t want to go without him. He smiled again.

“No, I will come later.” He said and I nodded. I didn’t ask any further questions. I had a quick breakfast and Albert dropped me at the airport.

After a long and tiring journey, I finally reached my homeland. I took a deep breath and wanted to smell that scent.

Today is my eighth birthday. I finally am to my home and live there. This was the biggest day of my life ever. When I got out of the airport, I looked around in search of my brother but he was nowhere. Suddenly, an expensive car stopped in front of me. The driver got down and opened the door for me. He never looks at my face. I looked carefully at him. Before I could ask a question, he spoke.

“Alpha Eric Jane has sent me, ma’m. He is waiting for you at home.” After hearing the full name of my brother, I was assured that my brother had sent him because not anyone knew my brother’s full name.

The way home was very hectic. I was very eager to meet my brother. I wanted to spend time in my home where there were memories of my parents.

I take a deep breath and gather myself. I ring the bell and wait for someone to open it.

Nothing happened after a few seconds of waiting. The door does not open. It's as stable as a solid brick wall. Normally, when I return after a year, I am greeted with a warm smile and the delicious aroma of food.

I ring the bell again, this time for a long enough period of time that the buzzing sound leaves an echo in my mind. The door is still not open. When I try to open it myself, it creaks open.

What is the significance of the unlocked door? I take a cautious step forward.

“Brother?" I made the request to no one in particular. I took off my shoes and walked into the main hall. I noticed boots and sneaker imprints as I walked towards the main hall.

The white carpet has become soiled. When I finally made it to the main hall, I noticed a man sitting majestically on our sofa. His legs and arms were spread out on the sofa, as if he owned the place.

I took a look at him. Dark blond hair, almond shaped eyes whose ice blue color was giving me a chill, strong cheekbones, short stubble, and full lips, with a slightly flat upper lip. Three buttons of his shirt were unbuttoned, revealing perfectly toned chest muscles.

I noticed that the temperature of the room suddenly increased, making me feel hot. I have to admit that this man was very attractive.

Every inch and cell of my body was caressed by billions of millions of trillions of sparkles and tingles that flowed through my skin. It was bond magic that was lured to my mate.

Oh God, this man was my mate. After looking at him, I almost forgot everything.

I regained consciousness when I heard my brother’s sob. I looked around and was shocked.

I saw him restrained to some wooden seats. His wrists and feet were restrained by the chair's arms. A piece of cloth was used to gauze his mouth. I suddenly understood the situation.

His eyes were awash in excruciating misery. He was asking me to flee while shaking his head frantically. However, I was unable to move, feeling as though my feet were stuck in place. As I looked about, I noticed that I was surrounded by ominous-looking individuals, each of whom held a pistol and had a threatening expression on their faces. My brother signaled me to run.

I quickly make a U-turn to sprint outside, but one of the men blocks my way, causing me to slam into his chest.

“Help someone, please help us." I shouted in an effort to gain the attention of our neighbors. My voice surely rang out to the outside because the door was open.

The man in front of me moans while forcefully holding me and placing his enormous hand over my lips.

I bit the man's hand to get him to let me free, but he showed no signs of fear. He raises his hand to smack me down instead. I positioned my small palms in front of my face in defense as he raised his fist, but the vicious blow never materialized.

"Stop "A voice booms. His one command stops the entire commotion. His voice holds authority and his aura is quite domineering. He approached me cautiously. He was giving me a serious look. Looking at his menacing attitude made me tremble. The thought of some time ago that hit my mind had gone somewhere far away.

“So she's your sister?” The man questions my brother, looking at me.

“Mmph.” He protests. He could understand the meaning of his question.

“Quite pretty, too pretty to work in a brothel.” The man in front of me commented. I was shocked to hear this.

“Who are you? We don't even know you." I said, looking at him with tearful eyes.

“"How will she survive if you pass away?" He asks, ignoring my question.

"Don't worry boss. I'll take her. She'll make a good we..... "One of his guards made out his nasty comment. I wanted to scratch his face but suddenly a shot rang out and he fell on the ground covered in blood.

I was shocked to see his bloody face. I glanced at him and his face was normal and satisfied, as if nothing had happened. He smiled at my reaction.

“Come here, little girl.” He commands, looking at me. I was still at my place.

“Don’t you understand? I don't like repeating myself." He grunts. I still refuse, being stubborn.

In an instant, he raises his pistol and shoots my brother right in his leg. He wails in agony but his voice is muted.

“Please don't.” I was so afraid that my voice was hoarse.

“What? I don’t understand.” He said with a smirk.

“P please don’t hurt my brother.” I sobbed pathetically. I had never faced such a situation. He just looked at me silently.

I look at my brother to see him bleeding, get up and try to run towards him but he grips me from my hair and pushes me to the floor.

“You don't learn, do you?" He growls in my ear, gripping my hair tightly.

“Wh… what wrong did we do to you? Why are you doing this?" I asked, still on my knees, weeping.

“You poor little thing, suffering from something that isn't even your fault," The man stated, slowly dragging his pistol around my face. His hand is placed on the trigger. He took his face near me and sniffed. The same heat ran through my body. It was getting on my nerves. My brother giggled, seeing me in his grip.

He finally diverts his attention towards my brother. I sighed with relief.

His gage was removed. He approached my brother, taking heavy steps. I looked at him with trembling heart. What was he going to do?

“I will ask you just one question. Answer it correctly to save your sister’s life. Why did you kill my parents?” He asked with blood-red eyes. His expressions were so scary. I looked at my brother in shock. I knew that he couldn’t murder anyone. I was sure that this man must be mistaken, my brother was innocent. But the next moment was shocking for me. Eric, my brother, started to laugh madly.

“I just hate your father. Did you know why? Your father was also a murderer. He killed my father. He was not a….” My brother could not complete his sentence as Alpha kane bent down and gripped his throat in his strong hands.

“What did you just say?” This was a shock for Alpha kane, he was not ready to believe it. “And what was the sin of Reena? Why did you kill her?” His voice was heavy this time. This was another shock for me.

“I killed her because she rejected me and chose you. I can’t bear it. She rejected me, for you. I hate you, kane, I hate you. I wanted to kill you too, but you escaped.” I just looked at my brother in disbelief. He was my ideal brother. How could he do that? Knowing the truth, Kane’s grip on his throat tightened, but he was still saying.

“It’s good that you reached out to me or I would have reached out to you. I was…” He could not bear him anymore and shot him in his head. I opened my eyes to see that he had shot my brother right in his forehead.

“Nooo. Brother.” I screamed and tried to approach him. Getting up from my knees, I tried, but he banged the back of his pistol on my head, making me fall down.

I started feeling a little dizzy. From a hurried vision, I could see my dear brother’s lifeless body. I felt like my heart would burst with pain. He killed my brother right in front of me. How could anyone be so cruel?

“He deserves that.” He mutters while looking at me menacingly. He was calm like nothing happened.

His face is painted with a wicked smirk. Slowly, his imposing figure moved toward my terrified body.

“Too attractive to resist you. I need to have a taste of you ", he states with lustful eyes. I try to resist but he is way too powerful. My strength is nothing compared to his and, with a blurry vision, there isn't much I can do.

He picked me up from the ground like a rag doll and headed toward the main door. I wanted to scream but couldn’t.
