HER SECOND CHANCE MATE CHAPTER THIRTY-FIVE
LUCAS' POV“Why do you look so worried?“ I didn't even know Cole had entered. That's how deep in my thoughts I was.“Worried? More like anxious.““Well, what about it?" The packhouse was nearly empty, and Aria was not around. She had literally tricked me into letting her go to Brielle's for a girl's night. “You know I've never had a real friend, let alone a girl's night out.“ She looked up at me with those huge eyes of hers. She knows I can't say no when she looks at me like that.“But what about me?“ I was close to causing a tantrum right there and then, and I should have hated how vulnerable I sounded, but she's the only one I can be like this around. She's the only one I can show my soft side to without any reservation.“Baby,” she said softly, and I had melted. She rarely called me anything else other than my name, so it was a big deal for me. “It's just one night. You'll be fine. Before you know it, I'll be back right in your arms.“Except she lied. She left around thirty minute

ARIA'S POV My first girls night out, and it was an absolute blast. I had to keep pinching myself that I'm not dreaming. We were up for most of the night talking about anything and everything.When she first brought it up at the beginning, my first thought was that it was somehow a trick or a plot for her to hurt me before I realized that she had no reason to hurt me.Not that my former pack members ever needed a reason to hit me. They just did whatever they liked concerning me. “So what are you going to do?“ I had forgotten that she was still waiting for my response.“Huh?““The girls night out.““Where would we go?““Nowhere. We're going to do it at my house. I'll set up a pillow fort in front of the TV and get lots of snacks for us to munch on.““Are you sure that's all?“ I ask dubiously. Usually, when the girls in my former pack talk about a girls night out, they mean like at least seven of them hitting all the clubs in town and getting drunk. One time they even ventured into the

THIRD PERSON'S POV Aria has never had to deal with a hangover before, and she swore that it was the worst thing ever. Very early in the morning, Alpha Lucas had gone to fetch his mate, deciding that he could no longer stand not seeing his little mate.Everyone who was up and about in the pack this morning had witnessed their Alpha with the Luna on his back. It was the only thing they could talk about. They talked about it so much that it eventually got to Maria, who was mopping the grounds.She gritted her teeth and pretended she wasn't interested in the conversation. “My wife said he wouldn't even let them greet him because he was afraid they would wake her.““Wow. Who knew the Alpha had such a soft side?““It only takes the right woman to bring out a man's soft side.“ He said and threw a mocking glance at Maria. She was the reason they were talking so loudly in the first place. Everyone in the pack knew about Maria's ambition to become the Luna.Brielle wasn't wrong when she said

THIRD PERSON'S POV Back in Red Moon pack, Alpha Kane had gone on another killing spree. The pack members had begun to whisper that maybe he would one day turn on them when he no longer had any rogues to kill. “By the time Alpha Kane is done with the rogues around here, we will be the most feared pack around here. No one would dare mess with us.“ A guard said. “You say it like it's a good thing.“ The other one countered. “It is.“ “One of these days, we, the protectors, are going to be rendered useless in the pack. What would be our job then?“ The guards feared for their jobs while the elders in the council were ecstatic. If the Alpha kept this up, they would be very feared, and maybe they could even extend their territory. In the next meeting, the council of elders wasn't so sure they could table the matter to him. He looked furious but not at anyone in particular. He just looked pissed. “Alpha, can we go on?“ “Hmmm.“ He only grunted. “Go on.“ He only said that. He wa

ARIA'S POV Every day I wake up next to my mate, I'm filled with an incredible sense of ease. How did I get to be so lucky in life? “Good morning, baby.“ His voice was deep and hit the right spots. I was especially giddy with excitement this morning.“Good morning.“ I let my eyes trail to his morning wood, and he catches me there. “Don't even start with me this morning, baby.“ He groans, and I smile innocently at him. “I'm not even doing anything.“He rolls over me and gives me a long, thorough kiss that leaves me breathless. Reluctantly, he rolls off of me and stands from the bed.“I have a lot to do today, and if I take it any further, we won't be leaving this bed today.““Promises, promises.“ I taunt. He simply shakes his head and goes into the bathroom.Roughly an hour later, I'm fed, and we're on our way to the pack house. He suggested that we walk since it's such a lovely day out, and I have to agree with him. “I wish you weren't so busy today, you know?“ I tell him once we

THIRD PERSON'S POV Aria and Brielle quickly realized that there might be a flaw in their plans. How were they going to invite the whole pack and still keep it a surprise from the Alpha?“Maybe we should just tell him?““No.“ Aria insisted. “I want it to be a surprise.““Ohh, I don't know how you're going to feel about this, but we should try inviting the pack members personally and tell them to keep it a secret as it's a surprise.““Good plan.“ Aria agreed. “Let's do it. We have to start with the elders, though, then we go to the guards and warriors' station.““Let's go.“ They called a maid to clean up the remnant of their short picnic date. Brielle was tasked with informing the men that they wished to go for a stroll around the pack.Brielle returned with two guards in addition to Stephen while Aria was explaining what she needed to the kitchen cooks. “The whole point of a feast is to have everything everyone would enjoy. Can you handle that?“ Aria was scared that she was giving the

LUCAS’ POVTo say I'm stunned is an understatement. I'm shocked! How did she arrange this without me finding out?“…happy birthday to you!“ Everyone sings. I can't believe she did this.“Do you like it? Are you surprised?“ Aria blurts out nervously. I remind myself to say something. She doesn't know if I'm happy about it or not because, again, for some reason, I can't get a hold of my speech.“Thank you, baby.“ I finally say and pull her into a warm embrace. “I love it!“Her smile is relieved and proud. “I thought you might. Happy birthday, Lucas.“ She pulls me to join everyone else at the long table that's filled with all the food I can imagine.“Wow.“ I say as she urges me to take my seat at the end of the long table in the compound. I'm still a little stunned.“Happy birthday, Alpha.“ Brielle says with a mischievous twinkle in her eyes, and I know for sure that she knows something about this. “Thank you, Brielle.“ Aria sits by my right, and I clutch her hand in mine. I have to get

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

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

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

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
