HER SECOND CHANCE MATE CHAPTER THIRTY-TWO
THIRD PERSON'S POV Alpha Lucas couldn't remember the last time he was this happy, and it was because of his little mate. He had become less snappy, and he now had a small smile for everyone in the pack. His pack was thriving, and times were peaceful. He began to think of his little mate as his good luck charm. She was the light in his world, and he thanked his stars every day that one man had been st*pid enough to let her go.He spotted her now in the pack house compound as she threw her head back in laughter at something Brielle had said. Yesterday, after the intimate session they had after her shower, he had been craving her more and more. He lost count of how many times he had caught himself daydreaming about her. He wished that he didn't have so much work to do so he could drag her to bed and have her all to himself. He observed the pretty column of her neck where her pulse fluttered. One of these days, she would finally be ready to be marked. He just had to bid his time.“My Al

ARIA'S POVAfter the morning Lucas and I spent together, I had been a little apprehensive, so I turned to my friend, Brielle. Since she has been mated long before me, I felt like she would know more about it. “So, what exactly is the problem? You didn't like it? Hmm, Alpha Lucas doesn't look like he can't handle a woman in bed.“I blushed. “He does know how to handle me, alright.“ The memory of his large hand on my hips grinding me on his hard length flashed through my head. "Ohhh, look at you blush.“ She cackled. “What's the problem, then?"“Marking… What is it supposed to feel like?““Oh. It depends on your partner, and generally, it's supposed to be a little bit painful but a whole lot more pleasurable.““Right?““Yes."“Lucas doesn't think I'm ready.““Your mark is going to be a little bit more painful. You're going to be Luna. Your mark might hurt more, so I think he's scared of doing it.““I think I'm ready though.““Maybe you'll tell him by yourself.“ “I don't know. What if

THIRD PERSON'S POV Maria reviewed the events of the days that she has had to survive ever since that girl from nowhere became the Luna. Although she couldn't say she came from nowhere. Her days had been filled with humiliation and mockery from the people who had once adored her. These people who knew her story. They had all witnessed how hard she had struggled in life. She thought it was only befitting that she become the Luna. It was her right. She had worked hard and smart. She had given it her all only for that girl to derail her plans.Any normal person would have admitted defeat and moved on with their life except Maria was not normal. She didn't even think she was a sore loser. She thought of herself as a woman who went after what she wanted aggressively without minding how it was affecting anyone else.Her parents died when she was only four years old. They had no living relative, so she was left at the mercy of the pack. Lucas' mother had been Luna then, so she was well take

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

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
HER SECOND CHANCE MATE CHAPTER SEVENTY-SEVEN
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
