HER SECOND CHANCE MATE CHAPTER FORTY-TWO
ARIA'S POVTonight is the night. I didn't need to be told twice that Lucas would not be waiting for me any longer. From the moment I told him that I was ready after that kiss at his birthday party, I knew there was no going back. That kiss had awoken a deep fire in me that only he could quench. “Brielle, I'll see you tomorrow.“ I said as I hugged her.“No, you won't.“ Lucas muttered, clearly eager to get home. We left the pack house a little while later. We didn't say anything to each other on the way home, but there was a comfortable tension between us. A static that buzzed and crackled.When we did get inside our home, he led me to the kitchen and handed me a glass of water.“I can't have you dehydrated, baby.“ He said. He trailed his fingertips over the nape of my neck. “You're going to be all mine.““Yours!“ I whispered and turned in his arms to face him squarely. “I want to be yours.““Dangerous words, baby.“ “I mean it.“ That was all the confirmation he needed before he swept

THIRD PERSON'S POV “Oh, goodness.“ Aria's moans were loud enough to bring down a roof. Lucas knew from the stories he had heard from all the other Alphas that marking a Luna was only pleasurable to the Alpha. “My Luna couldn't stop crying when I marked her. She was in so much pain that I never thought about her because the pleasure was so consuming.“He was glad that he had heard all those stories from the ones who had experienced it. He was determined to make it less painful for her, which is why he rolled over so she was on top. This way, his c*ck would hit new angles.She shyly took control, and he let her. He watched her face carefully to see if she was about to come. He pressed kisses to her chest and led a trail up to her neck.She squirmed against him when his teeth lightly grazed her neck, the exact spot where his mark would be. “That feels so good.“ She moaned and bounced on top of him. Her eyes were closed, which meant she was about to explode again. He put his hands betw

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

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

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

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.

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

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 SEVENTY-NINE
THIRD PERSON'S POV Alpha Lucas stood still for a moment, trying to make sense of everything. His wolf was threatening to come out and destroy everything in sight, but he stood still and let the anger wash over him. He was going to freaking end everyone who had a hand in this. First, he walked mechanically through the house as if he were a stranger. He was looking at it like he wanted to pick out every piece of detail. His wife's scent was still in here. There was a second and third scent. The second scent was a completely foreign one, while the third one was so faint that he thought he was imagining it. But he was not. Maria had been in here, that b*tch! He stopped when he got to the kitchen. She had been cooking! Everything was laid out in perfect order except for the water that had boiled over and the soggy pasta. He froze at the sight and again forced his wolf to stay put. She had been cooking for him, and she had been taken. The only thing that would save Maria from his wrath w
HER SECOND CHANCE MATE CHAPTER SEVENTY-EIGHT
ARIA'S POV The last thing I remember was sitting in the kitchen trying to fix myself something. The next thing that happened was still elusive. Brielle had offered to stay the night, and I had refused her. "My husband takes up Cole's day, so he's unable to see his wife. I can't do that to him tonight too." She had laughed but had agreed with me. She knew I was right. It was important for all couples to have some alone time together at the end of each day."If you say so. Just promise me you'll be okay. Cole told me something earlier about Gamma Lane finding a lead.""I guess he'll tell me about it when he comes back.""I can stay with you till then.""No. Go fix yourself something to eat. Your husband's got to be tired after a long day at work chasing leads.""You're right." She got to her feet and gathered all the card games she had brought with her. "I should go cook for my husband. I'll see you tomorrow, Luna.""Thank you for your help.""You know I'm down to hang out with you a

LUCAS' POV Aria has refused to leave the house. She won't be persuaded. On the second day, I had told her that her security details would multiply. She simply looked at me like I was insane."I'm not walking around with ten men.""I just want you to continue with your normal life. Don't you think the pack members are going to suspect that something is going on when you refuse to make an appearance?""Who knows? They might not even notice." She brushed me off and went into the bathroom."Not notice? Are you kidding me?" I had followed her into the bathroom, where I found her just staring in the mirror, tears in her eyes."Baby, I'm sorry I raised my voice.""No, it's not you. I just don't feel safe outside. I feel like I'm being hunted. I don't want to feel like this anymore. I hate that he can still make me feel this way." Her outburst had been expected, and in a way, I welcomed it because then I knew what she was really feeling."Come here," I had rocked her to sleep. She had drifte
HER SECOND CHANCE MATE CHAPTER SEVENTY-SIX
ARIA'S POV I woke up slowly. Last night came slowly to me in a rush, and my lips stretched in a satisfied smile. My body was pleasantly sore in all the right places. I stretched my hand to find the other side of the bed cold. He had to be downstairs. I brushed my teeth and put on my robe before going downstairs. I stopped when I found Brielle lounging on my couch. "Luna, you're up.""Yes, I am. Am I dreaming, or are we in an alternate universe where we're married?"She threw her head back in laughter. "I would like that very much.""I felt you might." I laughed too. "But seriously, what's going on?""The Alpha had to go to the pack house. There was something urgent going on.""Oh?" My curiosity was piqued. "Do you know what?""I don't know either. Someone came to get Cole. He left me in bed before he told me to come stay with you. I think it's something serious. There are like a dozen guards outside right now.""Are you serious?""Dead serious.""I must have been more exhausted than
HER SECOND CHANCE MATE CHAPTER SEVENTY-FIVE
LUCAS' POVA loud banging on the front door woke me up, and I scowled. Who the hell would interrupt my sleep? I looked around, and it was already morning. Aria had high desire last night and who was I to deny my woman of anything?I looked at her as she stirred briefly. I would kill someone if she wakes up. Thankfully, she settled back on her side and slept off again.The banging was louder now, and it finally kicked me into action. No one would dare to interrupt me if it wasn't an emergency. I didn't step out of the house all day yesterday, and there was no call for me.I threw on my discarded jeans and rushed downstairs. It was Victor, Aria's personal bodyguard. I would be worried about her if she weren't upstairs, sleeping soundly.“Good morning, Alpha.““What's going on, Victor?“ It better be something very important.“The Beta said to get you now.““What the hell? What is he doing in the pack house at this time of the morning?““He was woken up too.““By whom?““A guard, Alpha. I
HER SECOND CHANCE MATE CHAPTER SEVENTY-FOUR
THIRD PERSON'S POVThe next evening, Alpha Kane and Maria shared a glass of wine in his garden. He marveled at how well-kept the flowers were. He couldn't remember the last time he was there.“I could spend the rest of my life in here.“ She said, breaking the silence.“Except we can't.“ He chuckled. “You have responsibilities. You're going to be their savior, remember?““You're right.“ She sipped her wine and admired the flowers. He took that time to admire her. Her beauty was not something you could take in at once. Why anyone would choose Aria over her was still something he couldn't yet comprehend. Maybe Aria truly had them under a spell. He laughed. Aria was incapable of doing anything. It had to be that the Alpha was just st*pid.He glanced away before his staring would become obvious or uncomfortable. In another life, she was the type of woman he would have pursued. She had the same qualities that had drawn him to Lori. Lori was smart and ambitious. Same as Maria. The only diffe
HER SECOND CHANCE MATE CHAPTER SEVENTY-THREE
THIRD PERSON'S POV“We have to hit her in a way she won't be able to recover from. Remove her permanently and take over.“ Maria said.“It has to be a clean job. Done in a way that she can't go back and he can't come for her.““Let's do that.“ They talked deep into the night and deliberated back and forth on their plans.“I'll forever be in your debt if we're able to pull this through.“ Kane said. He meant it, too. He didn't let himself owe people often. He hated being in anyone's debt. However, this was a special case. Not only did Maria solve his council situation, but she also indirectly delivered to him fresh blood that was enough to calm his wolf down. To cap it all, she was going to deliver Aria to him on a golden platter. “We are going to be even, Alpha. Because of your collaboration, my long-time dream will be coming true. You're fulfilling my dreams for me.““I'm happy we can help each other out.“ He was even more impressed with her outlook. It was rare to find a woman who wa
HER SECOND CHANCE MATE CHAPTER SEVENTY-TWO
THIRD PERSON'S POV Aria found herself partly excited and partly cautious. Brielle was supposed to be pained for her father, yet she was able to be excited for a night out with her. There was something she was missing.Lucas had come with her. He had been so sweet and attentive to her that she felt seen. "Do you think you'll be able to go out? I don't want you to do anything you don't want to do." He was saying to her now."Don't worry, Lucas. I'm going to be fine. I'm trying to demystify today, right?""Still, if you do not feel like going out, we can stay home and watch something on TV. We can even watch that horrible series you like so much." She laughed. Aria had been trying to get him to watch Twilight with her for a while now. Unsuccessfully. He staunchly refused to watch something that had so grossly misrepresented their kind. It shows how much he cared for her well-being."Honestly, I'm okay." She stopped in front of him. He was perched on the edge of their bed as he watched
HER SECOND CHANCE MATE CHAPTER SEVENTY-ONE
ARIA'S POV Something is going on in the pack, I decided. Brielle has been acting shady for a while now, and I can't honestly point out when she started acting up."What's going on, Brielle? You've never been this distracted.""I'm sorry. Cole was telling me something.""Oh. You know you can talk to me about anything, right?""I know.""So talk to me. You've always been there for me. Let me do this for you, right? I feel like I'm always burdening you with my problems, and I never ask you about yours. I know how selfish that sounds now.""Aria, you're the last person to claim to be selfish. I can't bear to burden you with any more when I know how much work it is to deal with the pack."It is hard work to constantly shut out other people's feelings and emotions. Sometimes, I even get a stray thought. Most times, I have to go see what's bothering someone like that, but that's still not an excuse to neglect my friend."It's not too much at all, and you know how much I enjoy doing it. So p
