My Second Chance Mate is the Alpha King Novel – Standing in front of the mirror at Silver Rose Bridal Shop, I watched as Linda, the stylist, fussed over my engagement dress.
The delicate silk fabric flowed like moonlight against my skin, making my silver-white hair shimmer under the boutique’s warm lighting.
“You two are simply perfect together!” Linda gushed as she adjusted the dress’s hem. “The heir of Silver Moon Pack and the heir of Storm Pack – it’s like a fairy tale!”
I couldn’t help but smile at her words. Alex and I had come such a long way from our days at the orphanage.
“We grew up together in the neutral territory orphanage,” I explained, watching Linda’s eyes widen with interest. “Neither of us knew our true identities until we were fifteen.”
“Oh my! What a beautiful story!” Linda clasped her hands together excitedly. “Found by your respective packs and discovering you’re both heirs! And then becoming mates at eighteen – it’s destiny!”
The memory of that moment when we both awakened as wolves and felt our mate bond snap into place still made my heart flutter.
Looking at my reflection, I touched the crescent moon birthmark on my collarbone – the mark that had identified me as the true heir of Silver Moon Pack.
“The young girls in both packs are so envious,” Linda continued as she worked. “You’re their ideal love story – childhood sweethearts who turned out to be destined mates!”
I smiled softly, remembering how Alex had always protected me at the orphanage. Even before we knew what we were to each other, he had been my guardian, my rock.
“The engagement party is in three days, right?” Linda asked, pinning up another section of the dress.
“Yes, both packs will be there to celebrate,” I confirmed, excitement bubbling in my chest.
The fitting room door opened slightly, and Alex poked his head in. His storm-gray eyes lit up when he saw me.
