HER SECOND CHANCE MATE CHAPTER NINETEEN
Third Person's POV In the aftermath of Aria's victory, a lot of things happened at once. Alpha Lucas swung his true mate around in wild joy. He couldn't believe she had actually won. Fair and square and so easily, too.“My woman is a natural,” he thought to himself. “We're going to be together for the rest of our lives. Forever.““Lucas, I did it.“ No one was as happy as the new official Luna. There was also another couple who were over the moon, with Aria becoming the Luna. It was Beta Cole and Brielle. They hugged each other as if it were a personal victory. Beta Cole couldn't believe the fierce feeling of pride that swept through him because of the new Luna Aria. Brielle was happy she was a close confidante of the new Luna.“I'm going to be like her lady-in-waiting.“ She thought. “We're going to have so much fun.“The night before the fight, the couple had turned and tossed around in bed. Cole was thinking of ways he could help her win while his mate hoped she wouldn't get beaten

ARIA'S POV I had no idea how to be a Luna, but Brielle and Lucas kept telling me I was a natural. Natural? I had never been in a revised position like this before.Lucas had hinted at the fact that he wanted us to leave in a house separated from the pack house. His reasoning was that he wanted more time with me and that he wanted to protect my privacy. I was onboard with the idea, but I wasn't sure if he had just said that because of how filled the packhouse was in the days following my Coronation.Two days after my coronation, the pack house was filled as usual when one of the elders approached me and said he had something to ask of me. I wasn't sure what he thought I could do for him, but I went with him anyway. I now had bodyguards who were never more than five feet away from me at all times. Victor and Earl were their names. They never spoke to me except in greeting. They barely even looked at me, but I was determined to break them out of their shells.“Luna Aria, pardon my for

LUCAS' POV I watch in with part fear and trepidation. There's every chance she could clam up and refuse to tell me anything. I should have been grateful that she would take this step to get to know me on a deeper level.This is the first time she's initiating something between us, and I shouldn't screw it up.“You would like to know?““Yes, baby. I really want to get to know you better. I adore you so much, and it breaks my heart that you don't think you can trust me.“ I pull her closer on my lap, my vulnerability only hers to see. “Have I ever done something that would make you distrust me?““No.““I…I love you, do you know that?“ I know it's too soon to say, but I need her to know how much she means to me. How much she has come to mean to me in such a short period of time.She wants to get off my lap, but I don't let her. She has to know how much.“You really love me?““I do. I think I would love you even if this mate thing wasn't involved. You're a truly likeable person.““Well, t

LUCAS' POV “I've told you about my past, now it's your turn to return the favor." She said, and I chuckled.“We're going to get you fed first.“ Her cheeks blush as her stomach lets out another growl of hunger.When we get to the kitchen, she automatically moves to the stove, but I pick her off the ground and seat her on the island counter.“You're not cooking a thing in here.““You can cook?“ Her eyes shine with amusement, and I feel proud that I'm the reason she's laughing.“Yes. My parents didn't live in the pack house either. They wanted some privacy.““How come you were living in the pack house then?““My childhood home was practically a mansion. After they both died, it had become too big for just one person, so I moved into the packhouse after I became Alpha.““Did your mother teach you to cook?“I shook my head to get rid of the memories that came swirling at the question she asked. “She didn't exactly teach me to cook, but my earliest memories of her were in the kitchen. She

ARIA'S POV Life at the Moonlight Pack is like I've never experienced before. I had no idea there could be this many activities in the pack. This morning, Lucas told me we would be having guests in the pack. I had no idea what this would be like, so I turned to Brielle. Lucas assured me I would do fine, but he can only make that assumption because he loves me and he's blind to all my fault. At least, that's what Brielle said the other night at dinner.“What am I expected to do?“ I asked Brielle later.“Did he mention which pack was coming?““Silver Wolf.““Oh. I know Luna Celine. She's just so pretty.“ She gushes. “Her Alpha, not so much. He rarely speaks, but they're nice, so you should have no problem.““You're still not telling me what I need to do.““Just show up pretty. I'd say you have to organize lunch and dinner, but the kitchen already knows what to do.““Great.““Also, you can send someone home to pack an overnight bag for you. They'll be leaving after breakfast tomorrow mo

Third Person's POV“Do I have to go all the way over there?“ A young Kaden Silver, only son of the Alpha Earl Silver, asks.“Yes, you have to go.“ His father said sternly as he glared at him. Alpha Earl Silver was considering letting him stay until Celine, the only person his son could tolerate, got better, but it was important that his son honored the appointment.He had been skeptical of the whole arrangement, but it has to be done. “Explain to me again, father. Why do I have to go play nice with someone I've never met before?" Kaden was unsure what he was supposed to do with the son of Red Moon's Alpha. All his father had said was that he needed to strengthen both packs' bond because of the future. When his father had first told him, he had agreed because he thought he would get to spend more time with Celine, but now she had fallen sick.His father explained to him again. “Think about it, the faster you can get it over with, the faster you can come back to Celine.“ That seemed to

LUCAS' POVThe dinner got more relaxed once everyone got the answer to the question that had been on the tip of his tongue ever since Kaden spoke to Aria. His first emotion had first been jealousy before he remembered that he was insanely in love with Celine, mate bond or not.“You never forgot her face?“ I asked Kaden, taking advantage of this period when he was free with him. Maybe they could discuss their business right now…“I didn't. I didn't realize how huge what she had done for me was until I spoke to my father about it. He told me the two packs had always been mortal enemies for some reasons, even he doesn't know. The enmity ran that deep. My father wanted to extend an olive branch by trying to make their sons friends, but it turned out that they weren't ready to take the olive branch.““No wonder Alpha Kane kept whipping me for stopping the pack from gaining the upper hand.“ She said it so casually that it broke my heart. We all fell silent at her admission.My heart clenche

THIRD PERSON'S POV Alpha Kaden felt torn. He didn't know what to do. The minute he laid his eyes on Aria, he felt the urge to tear apart everyone who had hurt her one way or the other, even if that person was him.He had spoken to his mate about it. “It's weird. I felt the instinct to protect her. I never feel that way about anyone except you.“Celine wasn't sure how to feel about his feelings. She knew it was the absolute truth. Kaden didn't believe in sugarcoating things for anyone. He said it as he felt it.“Could it be because she had once saved your life?““Could be. I never got to thank her properly for it until now. This might be because I feel indebted to her.“Celine was glad he had worked out his feelings on time otherwise, it would keep him up all night, and she wasn't sure how she felt about him thinking about another woman all night. Everyone, including her, knew she was the only one for Kaden, but it would still be nice if he didn't feel protective over another woman.T

HER SECOND CHANCE MATE CHAPTER FIFTY-TWO
LUCAS' POVAfter all the soul-baring Aria did last night, she was exhausted and drained, so I let her sleep in. Some of the things she had told me chilled me to the bones. I was convinced that there was a special reason why she was hated so much.She didn't mention a thing about her parents, and I didn't push it. She probably had no memory of them. Alpha Kane was especially cruel to her, and I deduced that he was jealous of her. He didn't know what to do with the jealousy, so he turned around and bullied her so he could feel better about the fact that his mother loved Aria more than she loved him.“The only reason he couldn't throw me out after she died was because she had made him swear to her on her deathbed that he wouldn't throw me out. He kept his promise until I got banished, though.“ She had admitted.“I'm sorry.“ That was the only thing I kept repeating despite the ache in my chest. I was so angry, but I had to focus on her. I had to focus on cradling her in my arms and makin
HER SECOND CHANCE MATE CHAPTER FIFTY-ONE
LUCAS' POVI was officially in a tight spot. Three days after Oliver and Dee arrived in my pack, I still didn't know what to do with them. They were not lying, but I could not afford to get involved with them.Cole reminded me of the fact every time. Just this morning, the spies we sent to Crescent Moon pack came back to confirm the boys' story."My Alpha, I can say that the situation is even more dire than they reported. The members of the pack are absolutely terrified that the mad Alpha might come back and they might not survive it this time around." The spy said."What about the elders thing?""That's all true. We couldn't double-check because we couldn't afford to get caught in that pack, but according to what we heard from the pack members, there are about five elders that want the mad Alpha to take over so they could make more money from selling their weapons.""Alright, good job." They had bowed and left Cole and I in my office."Well, there you have it. They're not lying." I s
HER SECOND CHANCE MATE CHAPTER FIFTY
LUCAS' POVOrdinarily, getting access to another pack was easy. All you had to do was get your Alpha to sign the pack's letterhead that you had been granted access to leave your pack and cross into another territory. Werewolves do not take territory and space lightly. It was a very big deal. All this had to be done so you could enter a pack. Your own pack is on friendly terms with.Crescent Moon pack is definitely not on the list of packs we're friendly with, I thought to myself as we waited for Head Guard Morgan to bring in the "rogues"."What do you think they want?" I turned to Cole, who looked like he was deep in thought."I've been trying to think of many reasons, but the most viable one is that they need us to partner with them.""They could write a formal letter. Why sneak in?""That's the only flaw to it. I guess we have to wait for answers."Promptly, Head Guard Morgan knocked and pushed the door open without waiting for a response. He walked in with two men, and I tried to p
HER SECOND CHANCE MATE CHAPTER FORTY-NINE
LUCAS' POV"How's the Luna doing?" Cole asked as he plopped down on the chair."Fine." I sighed, rubbing my temple. The truth was I was stressed. Aria's health was a source of concern for me. The mark was taking a toll on her. She was not telling me how she was really feeling. Mind-blocking and mind-linking were taking a toll on her. She wasn't getting a good grasp on it. I always reminded her that there was no rush, but she thought she was a failure for not getting it on time."Should we bring in a specialist to help her?""We can do that?""Yes." Why didn't I think about that?"Please look into it.""Yes, Alpha." Teaching her personally was stressing her out because she thought she had to get it right once. I had never been in a position where I had to teach someone how to do those things. I always thought it was natural but clearly not. "I'm going to go check on her now.""Yes, Alpha." I quickly climbed up the stairs, nodding at a few maids and guards that were hanging around. I
HER SECOND CHANCE MATE CHAPTER FORTY-EIGHT
ARIA'S POV"I'm bored." Brielle yawned beside me, and I chuckled."You're always bored." I pointed out. It was true. Brielle has the attention span of a five-year-old. She always had to be doing something."This is different." She whined. "Why can't we go out?""Who says you can't go out?" I shot her a side eye, which she conveniently ignored."You. I can't leave you here.""You're free to go. I'm going to be fine, you know that.""I can't do anything fun without you." She whined again. Her whining only made me feel good. I love that she can't enjoy herself without me. It filled me with bliss, in fact."I'm going to convince Lucas to let me out tomorrow.""You know he won't." She retorted."True." Ever since my mark became prominent, he has become more overprotective. Because I still can't get a hold on my emotions, he forbade me from leaving his sight.I had told him times without number that I was okay to go out on my own. I understood his fear. All the rush of emotion I was feeling
HER SECOND CHANCE MATE CHAPTER FORTY-SEVEN
THIRD PERSON'S POVMaria woke up with a start in the dark. For a moment, she felt disconnected and disoriented. The only question that swirled through her mind was where she was. "What is this?" She whispered in the dark. For a moment, she thought about being in the moonlight pack."Think." She said to herself. She was not hurt or in pain. "What's happening to you?"Suddenly, the event of the night slammed into her. She had been taken as a rogue in the Red Moon pack!"How could you be this st*pid?" She whispered, more scared and cautious this time. She remembered what Ray had said to her about rogues caught in the Red Moon pack. "Their Alpha is batshit crazy. He's f*cking bloodthirsty. He's not going to think twice about killing a rogue. Forget a fair trial."She had shunned his words. After all, she was a big girl, and she could take care of herself. How hard could getting in a pack could be? Also, she had a plan. A good, solid plan.However, her plan had led her into this trouble.
HER SECOND CHANCE MATE CHAPTER FORTY-SIX
THIRD PERSON'S POV The entire pack was filled with chatter and excitement. The transition of the Luna was now complete. She now bore the mark of the Luna and now had access to their thoughts and emotions. It was an incredible honor to share the same link with Luna.“I felt her in my head for just a minute."“Mine was only for a brief second before it went off.““We should take gifts to the pack house later.“ It was this news that Aria had completed all the stages of being a Luna that Maria woke up to. She didn't dare to be bitter lest the people of the Moonlight pack would stone her to death. She kept all of her feelings of resentment to herself as she went about her work.Later in the afternoon, she was called on to carry parcels of gifts to the pack house. Her first thought was to poison the fruits, but that would be too rash. Where would she even find poison? No one would sell deadly leaves to her even if it was to heal herself. She was too much of a risk. Also, there was no guar
HER SECOND CHANCE MATE CHAPTER FORTY-FIVE
ARIA'S POV I had been feeling a tingling sensation in my head ever since we stepped out of our home. I put it off as one of the changes Lucas said my body would go through. I know he said I should come to him, but he surely doesn't mean for every little thing. The sensation had begun to intensify as we got closer, but I still didn't say anything. Surely, it would go away soon. My vision was swarming and I could barely see anything when I spotted Brielle. She was coming towards me with her arms open. She was also saying something I couldn't comprehend when I heard a voice in my head. Multiple voices. Different emotions and expressions. Some were faint while some were loud. “A fairy I would like to sit on my face.“ I recognized Lucas' voice as the loudest. What was happening to me? “Aria!“ Lucas yelled. I couldn't figure out for the life of me if it was in my head or not. “What's going on?“ “Is she going to die?“ I know I was falling backward, and I had surrendered to my bod
HER SECOND CHANCE MATE CHAPTER FORTY-FOUR
LUCAS' POV Aria yawned and pushed her food around on the plate.“Not hungry?““One would think I would have worked up an appetite after sleeping literally all day and, you know, after…” She trailed off at the mention of being intimate. She was still so shy. She was going to have to break it out of her. I want her to be completely comfortable with me. We would have to work on that gradually.I smirked at her. “You mean after you had your way with me?“Her cheeks reddened. “That wasn't what happened.“ She whispered as if there was someone else nearby.“So you didn't ask me to put it in?““Lucas,” she was horrified. “Don't say it like that. I don't know what you're talking about.“She looked so mortified that I decided to stop teasing her. The only thing that gave me satisfaction was that she changed into a whole new woman when she was seeking pleasure.“Have a few bites, baby. Then we can go to sleep. It's been a long day.“ Obediently, she scooped up about three spoons of pasta. She fi
