A Warrior's Second Chance (Faye and Alexander) novel Chapter 609

Chapter 590

Chapter 590

SAGE

I lowered myself onto the couch and leaned back, letting out a slow breath I hadn’t realised had been holding.

For several seconds, I simply stared at the floor.

My mother thought she was telling me something I hadn’t already considered.

If only she knew.

The moment she mentioned Blood Crescent, I almost laughed.

Because it had been the very first solution that came to my mind when everything started falling apart initially.

I had known.

Long before the council brought Alexander’s name into the discussion.

Long before Mother suggested speaking to Faye.

I already knew the situation on the ground needed a serious intervention, and I knew our options. I had weighed them all, and I already knew the best one we had.

I wasn’t as unbothered as everyone thought.

The problem had never been figuring out what needed to be done.

The problem was…

How?

How was I supposed to look Faye in the face and tell her that Silver Hollow needed Blood

Crescent to survive?

How was I supposed to admit that the very pack that had discarded her now needed her all

over again?

I let out a quiet laugh.

Life really did have a twisted sense of humour.

My mother thought Faye would simply help because Silver Hollow was her birth pack.

Claim

She probably would. That wasn’t what troubled me. I wasn’t afraid Faye would refuse directly.

I wasn’t even afraid she would remind me of the past.

The truth was… I didn’t think she would. That somehow made it worse.

I closed my eyes.

It felt like another slap across my face. Another reminder that no matter where we stood…

Faye would always end up being the one everyone relied on.

I refused to let that happen again… not like before.

My mind drifted back years.

Back to the countless emergencies that had seemed impossible to solve.

Whenever danger appeared… whenever another pack threatened us… whenever the council became desperate…

There had always been one answer.

Faye.

Push Faye forward, let Faye fight.

Let Faye protect everyone.

Let Faye carry the burden.

It had happened so many times that eventually everyone stopped questioning it.

Including me. That was how she became the Head Warrior of Silver Hollow in the first place.

Not because she asked for the position.

But because every difficult situation somehow found its way onto her shoulders.

And every single time…

She carried it. Even when it wasn’t fair. Even when it should never have been her

responsibility.

I swallowed.

Then came the mating arrangements.

I smiled bitterly.

Looking back now… it almost felt unbelievable. The council had wanted Faye to remain

inside Silver Hollow.

She was too valuable to lose… too useful.

The original plan had been simple.

Claim

Faye would become Jason’s mate. She would remain here, where her strength belonged to

Silver Hollow.

And me?

I would have been sent away. Given to Blood Crescent.

Not because anyone believed Alexander and I belonged together. Not because they thought it would make me happy.

I was simply the convenient choice.

The trophy Luna.

The daughter used to secure an alliance while Faye stayed behind to continue carrying this pack.

I laughed softly to myself.

Even now… nothing had really changed. Faye still carried the value.

She had only changed packs.

Now she stood beside the strongest Alpha in the region.

Now she was Blood Crescent’s Luna.

Now the strength that once protected Silver Hollow belonged somewhere else.

And somehow…

We still needed her.

The thought made my chest tighten.

No.

I wasn’t going to ask her directly. I couldn’t.

Whatever dignity I still had… whatever little pride remained…

THE

Chapter 590

I refused to lose it that way.

The moment I realised Blood Crescent might eventually become necessary…

I had already changed my approach. Instead of calling Faye to ask for help…

I simply called her.

We talked about ordinary things… nothing important. Sometimes I asked how she was settling into Blood Crescent.

Claim

Sometimes I complained about meaningless things around the pack. Sometimes we laughed about childhood memories.

Other times…

There wasn’t much to say at all.

But I kept calling.

And whenever I had the chance…

I encouraged her to come home.

To visit, to spend time here.

Because I wanted her to come and see things for herself.

To walk through Silver Hollow with her own eyes. To notice the empty warehouses, the worried faces, the exhausted warriors, Jason’s desperation, the council’s fear.

If she saw it herself…

She wouldn’t need anyone to ask.

I knew Faye. She had always thrown herself into problems that involved people she cared about. She wouldn’t stand by and watch Silver Hollow fall apart.

She couldn’t.

And once Faye became involved… Alpha Alexander would never leave her standing alone.

He would support her. Blood Crescent would support her.

Not because Silver Hollow had begged. Not because Jason had humbled himself

But because their Luna had chosen to act.
