The Biker Alpha Who Became My Second Chance Mate
Chapter 180

“Speak now, Derek added with a bark that made Max jump. If you know what’s good for you.‘
Max trembled and his knees buckled slightly under the combined pressure from all of us. I could smell his terror and his wolfs submission but I didn’t care about his fear anymore.
I know he was trying to protect Seraphine because he likes her and that was why she could easily use him.
“Speak now!” I roared, and the command was so forceful it triggered his shift. His body contorted, fur sprouting, then receded just as quickly, leaving him naked and gasping on the floor.
“Yes!” he screamed, the word tearing from him.
“Yes, Seraphine came to me! She begged me for help. She said Daxon was going to kill her because she had helped him before and now he was threatening her. She said if she didn’t help him kidnap Athena, he would kill her!”
So they’d worked together? Interesting. Now I can kill her not caring she’s a lady.
Even I already knew she’d die from my hands the moment I watched the video.
I leaned down, getting right in his face. “What did she do for Daxon? What did she do before?”
He hesitated, his eyes wide with fear.
“What did she do?” I snarled, the Alpha voice crashing down on him like a physical blow.
“She poisoned your Luna!” he cried out, the confession bursting from him. “She inserted a wolfsbane in her drink making her go into labour.”
The words hit me like a silver blade straight to the heart. I staggered backward and felt my breath tear out of my lungs in a ragged gasp.
Jess? He killed her? They both had a hand in her death.
And I’ve been helping her all these while, I’ve been helping her murderer.
No. No. No.
Something broke inside me and a scream tore out of my throat that was raw and animalistic and shook the walls of the conference room.
I lunged toward Max with every intention of killing him right there but something stopped me halfway.
I turned to Orion instead because I suddenly felt something that made my chest tight.
A sensation, faint but unmistakable, flickered in the back of my mind. It was a thread, a connection I thought I’d lost.
‘I can feel her,” I said and my voice came out hoarse and strained.
Orion’s eyes widened and I saw recognition flash across his face. “I can feel her too.”
We stood there for a moment just breathing hard and both of us were connected to the same invisible thread that seemed to be pulling us in a specific

direction.
“It feels like…” I started, trying to grasp the strange sensation. “Like she’s…”
“Above the ocean,” Orion finished, his voice low and urgent. “She’s far, but not too far. It’s like she’s standing right on top of it.”
That wasn’t possible, never ever.
A cold dread twisted in my gut. ‘How is that possible?”
Orion’s face had lost all its color. His usual calm was shattered, replaced by a frantic, desperate energy. “Because she’s touching the one thing she was never
supposed to touch.”
He grabbed my arm, his fingers digging into my flesh. “Tristan, we have to go. Right now. We have to get to her immediately.”
I had never seen Orion like this before. He was frantic and desperate and there was real terror in his voice.
“She’s going to kill them,” he said suddenly, messing his hair with his hands in frustration.
I blinked because I was confused by his reaction. “Isn’t that good? At least they won’t kill her first.”
“No!” Orion cut me off and his voice actually broke with a fear I had never heard from him before.
“You don’t understand what’s happening Tristan. She’s going to kill them with her powers, and if she does… if she unleashes it like that, she’ll go wild.
Completely wild. We need to save her”
He grabbed my arm again, his grip tight and desperate. “She’s touching the one thing our parents spent their entire lives protecting her from. If we don’t get
to her right now and stop this from happening…”
His voice cracked with something that sounded like pure fear. “We’re going to lose her Tristan. Don’t you understand what I’m telling you? We are going to
lose Athena forever.”
His words, the sheer terror in them, shattered the last of my control. Nothing else mattered. Not Max, not revenge, not anything but getting to her.
