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

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

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

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

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

Aria's POV I celebrated my eighteenth birthday in the laundry room, washing all the laundry of the pack house till my hands bled. The pain and blood didn't bother me. I was happy, even. I'd always imagined my eighteenth birthday. The year I will get to be mated. I had dreamed about it ever since I was a little girl. Being an orphan in Crescent Moon Pack means I'm all alone in this world. And that automatically made me an omega. The lowest of the lows in the pack. I rushed out of bed, which was in fact just a torn and very thin blanket thrown on the floor. Even other maids didn't have such poor sleeping conditions. But who was I to complain? It's an honor to be a maid in the pack rather than a rogue. I made my way over to the servant's bathroom. After a quick cold shower, I got dressed and headed to the laundry room for my duties for the day. Even though it was barely 4 a.m., the pack house was already lively. I guess that's to be expected, as the blood moon festival is just

Kane's POV I don't believe in the Blood Moon Festival. Yes, of course. I believe all my unmated pack members should attend it. And I made sure that this year's own would be splendid, sparing no expense when it came to all the preparations. They deserved to be happy. I don't believe in the Blood Moon Festival because it's somehow pointless. What if you fall in love with someone else and the moon goddess doesn't mate the two of you together? "Come on," I heard Lori's voice as she crept up behind me, throwing her arms around my neck. "Aren't you coming?" She asked, her voice sending shivers down my spine. "Do I really have to do this?" I was referring to attending the Blood Moon festival. "Don't you want us to be mated?" She cooed, placing soft kisses on my neck. "When the moon goddess sees that we are so perfect for each other, she'll have no choice but to mate us." I found myself chuckling. "That doesn't sound like a good idea. In fact," I turned sharply, pulling her into my

Aria's POV My ankle was killing me. The forest held so many secrets. Secrets I didn't want to know about. The rustling in the bush got louder and louder. I hugged myself, staring at it. Suddenly, a rabbit jumped out of the bush. "Thank goodness." I heaved a sigh of relief. Continuing the walk that seemed like a journey without an end, I couldn't see any sign of human being, only trees stretching further into distances of darkness. How long would I journey before I would be able to see any signs of houses or people living around? I asked myself, sighing in agony. Still aware of the excruciatingly annoying pain in my ankle and the fact that I had been walking on foot all this time, the thought of perhaps taking a little rest came to me, but I just couldn't. Not in a forest like this, where no one could tell what each tree and shadow held. Shifting into my wolf, I decided to take a run. Feeling the wind in my hair, I tried my best to ignore the pain in my ankle. For hours, I ran

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
