THE BIKER ALPHA WHO BECAME MY SECOND CHANCE MATE

My woll , Claire , was completely silent . Still locked away in whatever dark corner of my mind she'd retreated to , still refusing to help me even when I might need her most . I was on my own , just like I'd been during those final terrible months with Daxon . But if I couldn't run , then I could fight . The thought came to me with surprising clarity through the fog of panic . I might be trapped , but I wasn't the same helpless girl who'd cowered in corners while her mate destroyed her piece by piece . I'd learned things . I had fists now , and a little knowledge of how to use them .

I planted my feet and waited as the figure turned slowly , preparing myself for the confrontation I'd been dreading for weeks . When he finally faced me completely , I felt the air rush out of my lungs in a mixture of relief and embarrassment so intense it made me dizzy . It wasn't Daxon . The stranger looking at me with obvious confusion was maybe the same height and build , with similar dark hair , but his face was completely wrong .

His eyes were brown instead of Daxon's cold gray , his jaw was softer , and there was a kindness in his expression that Daxon had never possessed even at his most charming . " Excuse me , miss ? " he said , his voice carrying a slight accent I couldn't place . " Do I know you ? You look like you've seen a ghost . " I probably looked exactly like that . My face was probably white as paper , my hands still shaking , my breathing still too fast and shallow . I tried to pull myself together , tried to remember how to act like a normal person instead of a traumatized mess . " No ...

no , sorry , " I managed , my voice coming out rougher than I intended . " I thought ... you look like someone I used to know . " His expression softened with understanding , and he gave me a gentle smile . " Ah , I hear that a lot actually . One of those faces , I guess . Happens all the time . " " I'm really sorry , " I said again , backing away slowly . The relief was making me feel weak and shaky , like my legs might give out at any moment . " I didn't mean to follow you or anything weird like that . " " No harm done , " he said , still smiling .

" Hope you find whoever you're looking for . " If only he knew that the last thing I wanted was to find the person I'd mistaken him for . I turned and walked back toward the main street as quickly as my unsteady legs would carry me , my heart still racing but for different reasons now . The embarrassment was almost as bad as the terror had been . What if he thought I was some kind of stalker ? What if he called the police about the crazy woman who'd followed him into an alley ?
