HER SECOND CHANCE MATE CHAPTER FIFTY-EIGHT
ARIA'S POVLucas had increased my personal security details. I was used to having only Victor following me around. This morning, Brielle and I finally decided to hit the shops. There was a new boutique chain in town. We attracted many curious stares as Brielle and I came in with four huge bodyguards.“I don't like the staring.“ I admitted to Brielle. One of the bodyguards overheard me and suggested that he could do something about it.“Please, leave them be.“ I said hurriedly. Their instructions were clear. Lucas had told them to make sure I was never uncomfortable and that any harm didn't come to me. They weren't allowed past the waiting room before the dressing and changing room. I had to physically stand against them so they wouldn't follow us around while we were looking at the racks.“Why are you so unbothered about this anyway?“ I asked Brielle. She was not even looking behind her as she shopped happily. “About the bodyguards?““Yes.““At some point, I just forget about it and

LUCAS' POVDays ago, about three days after I helped Oliver and Dee out with their situation, he called me back to tell me that they had gotten rid of him.“It's as you said, Alpha. We made sure he wouldn't come back with his full army.““You know enough that this is the most vulnerable time for your pack, don't you? He might sneak back in other forms. Be careful.“ I had advised.“Yes, Alpha. We're going to be careful.“ “Good luck.““I do have a question, Alpha. Why didn't you want us to go to war with him?“I had to think about that before I gave him a response. “Given the way you described him, I thought he might want to completely destroy your pack. I do not want that for you...““I thought about it too, Alpha, but something's not adding up. You asked us to be careful. Pardon me, but this is me being careful. I don't have any assurance that you won't turn against us or use this to get us in the same trap that we just left.“I had been mildly annoyed at his insinuation that I wante

ARIA'S POVI had just begun to fall asleep on his chest when he asked me that question. Irritation welled up in my chest, and I automatically felt the link between us shut down. Why wouldn't he stop bringing it up?It was even more ridiculous that he thought I still had feelings for Kane of all people. Yes, Kane had been the object of my affections for most of my life, but I was long past that. I had found out that what I thought was love wasn't it at all. It was only because I had never seen someone else to put my feelings on. For the most part, my feelings had been rewarded because the moon goddess had made us mates, but he had ruined it. His rejection had been my own gain because I found my true mate and a whole family that showed me true love and acceptance.“Aria, why did you shut me off?““Because I don't think I want you to see my feelings right now. I feel like you're going to misconstrue it.““What are you feeling?“ His eyes narrowed, and I realized that was the wrong thing

LUCAS' POVNow that I understood why Aria was so against the destruction of Red Moon pack, I was now in a dilemma. How would I ever explain that I had been involved with a partial destruction?When she hugged me in the middle of our fight, it had come as a shock to me. She was right when she said it was our first fight. I was glad I still didn't raise my voice. I had actually been too mad to raise my voice. She even had the audacity to shut off our connection.The hug had melted all the negative thoughts that had infiltrated my mind ever since she told me she had some sort of feelings towards her former love and Alpha.As I watched her sleep on my chest after she told me how kind the Red Moon's former Luna had been to her. I was glad she was practicing the trust we said we would practice with each other.Now it was my turn to do the same. I fell asleep with the resolve that I would tell her the next morning. She was awake before I was, and I could hear the sound she was making in the

THIRD PERSON'S POV “You are as useless as your b*tch of a mother. You can't even do one little thing right.“ Kane's father was a man who demanded perfection from everyone in his pack, down to the lowliest omega.The task he had expected his twelve-year-old son was to sneak into one of the smaller packs and plant in some materials that the council of Alphas had prohibited.His source of information had given him the wrong information, and he in turn had given his son the wrong information. The boy had been told to get to the pack at precisely eight. That was the time the guards would be doing a change in shift. He had approximately three minutes to slip into the pack and plant the content of the small bag he was carrying.The boy had dedicatedly trained for this small mission, all in a bid to win his father's love or, at the very least, his approval. A well-done would have done a lot for the little boy's ego. However, on the day, everything had gone according to plan until he had gott

THIRD PERSON'S POVMaria Greenwood rarely gambled wrong. She was always on the winning side. She also knew she would work hard to reach her goal. She was determined and hardworking, which was why she was such a great asset to the warriors in Moonlight pack.When she had first expressed her desire to become Luna to her squadmates, no one had refuted her. They knew there was no stronger woman in the pack.She was the topic of discussion this morning at one of the borders of the pack. The guards there were bored. Nothing ever happened out there, but they still took no chances.“Does anyone here think Maria will actually come back to the pack?“ One of them said, and another sneered.“Come back? She took the easiest way out. She's a coward, and if she knows what's good for her, she won't show her face around here anymore.““I don't think she ran away, though. She was likely captured and can't find her way home anymore.““Shut up, Ted. Everyone knows you like her. I would have been more su

ARIA'S POV“Call me mother.“ Aria remembered Luna Cecilia telling her. “I'm going to make you my daughter. I have no child of my own.“Aria remembered feeling out of sorts with that order. Luna Cecilia had a son. Kane. He was set to become the next Alpha.“Luna Cecilia, you have a son.“ I had told her, and her eyes darkened.“Kane might be my biological son, but he is no son of mine. He's going to grow up to take after his father. I want nothing to do with him.“I had been too young to know what she was talking about, but I had never been too comfortable to take on another person's position. Most importantly, I never wanted to take over for anyone. I wanted to find my own people. So one day I asked her where I came from, and she had no answer for me.We started spending a lot of time together until one night, I had been sleeping after we had our evening tea. Someone came into the room and snatched me off the soft bed and yanked the covers from me. “What's going on? How dare you come

LUCAS' POVIt was an uneventful day at work. One of those days when everything simply blurred into each other. The highlight of it was a run in the pack with Cole and my Gamma, Lane. Lane had left the pack about ten years ago to go mind his mother's pack until the rightful heir was old enough to take over.I was glad to see that he hadn't changed at all. He was still the same fun-loving boy who had left the pack. He was only two months younger than I am, but he behaved like a fifteen-year-old boy. His position was not very important to the pack, so he could be away for as long as he wished.Two days ago, he had telephoned when Cole and I were busy at work.“Yo, Luke!“ The sound of his voice was unmistakable, and I had automatically groaned. “Don't call me that, Lane. I'm the Alpha now.“ I had said for Cole's benefit. He had rolled his eyes in exasperation too. Lane has always been insufferable like that.“I know, Luke. If I don't call you that, you'll forget your mother's nickname f

ARIA'S POV The next day is the scheduled day for Maria's execution. Lucas is laying on top of me, holding all his weight on his forearm so he doesn't crush me, trying to convince me not to go to the execution."Baby, why would you want to see that woman? I want you to forget all about her, okay?" He says softly as he presses hot open mouthed kisses to my face."I don't think I can ever forget about her but if I see this for myself, then I'll know that she's gone forever. That would make me feel safe. You want me to be safe, don't you?" I take his face in my hand so I can angle his lips to mine but he continues to kiss all over my face and leaves out my lips.I shift underneath him so he's resting in between my legs. My nightgown is lost between us so his briefs are the only barrier between my hot throbbing core and his length. I try to grind over his length but his weight keeps me from moving."Lucas," I whine. "I'll give you what you want if you agree not to go to the pack square t
HER SECOND CHANCE MATE CHAPTER NINETY
LUCAS' POV I moved Aria back to our home very early the next morning. I didn't want her to get swamped with the people waiting for her to get out. Even as I backed the car away from the parking spot, they swarmed and tried to get a glimpse of her."Can't I just wave to them or something? I honestly feel bad for ignoring them like this.""They know you need to get your strength together." "You're just being mean on purpose." She pouted, and I ignored her. Trying to argue with her was like arguing with a mule."No, baby. I'm just trying to protect you." "Sure." Thankfully, she closed her eyes and rested her eyes till we got to our home."Here we are, baby." I help her down from the SUV. Her eyes glisten with tears as she takes in the first view of our house for the first time in two weeks. It seems that it's been longer than that."I missed this so much. You know I was cooking. I wanted to apologize to you for making you feel like you couldn't protect me." She says softly, and my wo

ARIA'S POVSilence. Darkness. Everything is still. Deathly still. Not a tree or leaf is moving. For a moment, I don't know where I am. My eyes open even though my eyes were opened. I'm in the same clearing like the one I was in when I first became Luna. I'm dressed in white, and I seem to be walking in dirt, but my gown remains intact. "What is happening?" I whisper to myself, and I find that I can't speak. I can think, but I can't speak out loud.Suddenly, in the middle of the wandering. I don't know how long I wander for, but I'm suddenly enveloped by a sudden darkness. "Baby," the voice sounds so familiar. It's close yet so far away. It's strangely reassuring and filled with so much pain that I want to hold him close. I want to kiss his pain away but I can't because I can't find him. I fall to the ground and weep in pain. "I'm going to leave you for a few hours. If today's the day you finally decide to wake up, please wait until I'm here. I want to be the first thing you see. I'm

THIRD PERSON'S POV The people of the Red Moon pack were not happy. They have been going through possibly one of the worst periods in their entire existence. The war that was supposed to bring them all the fame and glory that they thought they deserved only did the exact opposite. They had stayed up all night waiting for their warriors to bring them glory and fame. They had gathered at the pack square, telling stories and recalling fond memories about their pack. Strangely, no one mentioned the former Alpha Kane in all these fond memories. They all collectively agreed not to talk about the man."No one ever saw Jon after Lori's incident, right?" One of the girls asked."Please. Would you have stayed on in the pack if something like that happened to your only family and sister?""You're right. I sure hope Jon is happy wherever he is." The other replied. Unknown to the girl, Jon was indeed happy where he was because at the time when they were waiting for their warriors to arrive, he wa

THIRD PERSON'S POV All through the night, Alpha Lucas couldn't sleep. He kept thinking of how close Maria was. She was going to go through so much pain that she wouldn't believe it, yet he wouldn't kill her. He would draw out her pain and suffering for as long as he could. He had trouble falling asleep, and only the lull of Aria's faint pulse finally pulled him into a shallow sleep that was filled with nightmares.The dreams were different yet the same. He was in all of them. Aria was, too. She was sinking, and he couldn't get to her fast enough because Maria was in the way. He couldn't go through her, not if he wanted to stay alive. He woke up in a cold sweat and plagued with such deep fear that only the sight of Aria calmed him down.He would fall asleep again, only for him to experience the same thing over and over again. In one dream, Aria was in a quicksand. In another, she was being tortured. In another, she was in a fire so hot that he couldn't get to her. In all of it, he cou

LUCAS' POV I was brushing her brown hair back when I heard a knock on the door. I scowled immediately. I specifically told the nurses not to let anyone in except, of course, Lane, Cole, and his wife. I doubt why any of them would be here at this time of the night. Aria still hasn't opened her eyes, and it's been eleven days.This morning, I told the doctor to give it to me straight after his routine morning check-up."What's going on, doctor? Do I need to consult another doctor? Is there anything else I should be doing?" I feel so helpless just seeing her lie there day after day. My wolf has been completely withdrawn. I haven't seen the love of my life. She might be laying there, but that's not her. I haven't seen her eyes and her smile in so long."It's not looking good, Alpha." He had said honestly. "There was trauma, but we had quickly treated those. There's no reason why she shouldn't be awake by now.""So what are you going to do?""When I say it's not looking good, I didn't me

THIRD PERSON'S POV Maria's confidence was at an all-time high. She knew how today was going to play out. She was finally going to get her revenge. According to Thomas's unknown source, Aria was still in a coma, and Lucas was absolutely devastated. She didn't doubt the news for a minute. It was to be expected."Don't worry, Lucas. I'm going to blow your mind." She smiled at herself. At some point, she was beginning to question if this was all worth it. She got the same answer all the time. Yes, it was worth it. Lucas was worth it. That afternoon, she stood beside Alpha Thomas as he addressed his warriors. They looked like they would rather be anywhere else than here. It was all she could do to keep herself from snapping at them. Where was that zeal to succeed? Where was their bloodlust? Honestly, she knew these people didn't have any chance against Moonlight's pack elite warriors, but that would only work in her favor."Gentlemen, this is our chance to make history." He had told them
HER SECOND CHANCE MATE CHAPTER EIGHTY-FOUR
THIRD PERSON'S POVJon returned to the Moonlight pack that night but because it was late already. He went straight to his girlfriend's house. Haley was getting ready to sleep when she heard a knock on her door.She jumped in his arms the moment she saw who was there. "My love." He held her close and breathed her unique scent in."Hi." He grinned tiredly at her. "You look beautiful.""And you look tired." She pulled him in and immediately got to making him as comfortable as possible. She drew him a bath and brought out a microwaved chicken. She always kept something for him in case of impromptu visits like this one.After his bath, he sat down to eat and caught her up on the latest development. Jon had told her every detail of his mission even though he had been severely warned against it by both sides he was working for.Jon had been broken after his only family, the woman who had raised him was humiliated and killed in front of the entire pack. Their extended family had conveniently

THIRD PERSON'S POV A week later, Aria was still in a coma. Lucas had completely shut down and wasn't responding to anything. Beta Cole and Gamma Lane had to take complete control.The last time either of them got any response from the Alpha was on the second day. Beta Cole had gone to inform him about the purchase of the land they had been meaning to buy all this while."I trust you, Cole. Handle this however you like." He had said to him. He wasn't leaving his wife's side, not to eat and certainly not to take care of his appearance. He still had on the shorts he had on from the night of the attack, and he had pulled a sweatshirt over it, but that was all."Have you seen him recently? Do you think I can go see him?" Brielle asked her husband this morning as he got ready to go to work."I was too swamped with work yesterday, and I think Lane saw him yesterday.""I'm going to go by today." She said. Brielle had missed her friend terribly. If there was anything she could do to wake her u
