Her Second Chance Mate Chapter 41
AriezelI could see when his countenance had changed. How his eyes had darkened, similarly to the time in the office. Most of all, the shivering heat ran through me as I stared into them. Not one of fear, but anticipation.What I felt now was nothing compared to then. My body was aflame now, incomparable to the simmering heat of back then. I wanted like I had never before, and it seemed that he did too.And yet, it still caught me off guard.One moment we were separated from each other, the next I was engulfed in his bruising lips.The kiss was not as sweet as before but was only hot, burning me from the inside out. I was helpless to go along with it.As our tongues tangled together, the heat in me intensified. I held onto him tighter, reveling in the bruise it gave.What was this? I had never felt like this before.It was too much. Too much and yet not enough. His arms pulled me towards him flush, fabric melding with each other. Oh.I had forgotten how it felt aside from that short

AriezelSlowly I felt myself drawn out of the slumber I was in to face the light from the window.I smiled as I looked out the window, watching children play from the distance farther. It was a good sight in the morning.The reminder of the good in the world made me smile, and I couldn't help but keep watching.The windows before weren't this big. Although it made all the more sense considering that I had found myself in this new room out of nowhere.The moment I woke up in Asher's arms the first thing he did was to suddenly change my room. I found myself being led to a completely different and larger space later on that day, Now several weeks after that day, everything had relaxed some. He kept me on practical bed rest to ensure that I had fully healed and we had spent something like a honeymoon together.A knock came to the door, making my shoot up in alarm. Asher had left the night before stating that he had things to do till the morning, so it couldn't have been him. The second o

AsherThe walk through the hallways left me humming lowly.For most of the day I had spent my time working on the pack matters. Was this how it felt like? The thrill of having someone to come back to after a hard day of work? It felt exhilarating as though I was coming home.I stopped in my tracks. What was I saying? My home was my pack, one I had stayed in for a long time. But it felt different.My wolf preened out “Mate is home."Understanding finally dawned on me. In the lone hallways, a smile crossed my lips.Yes. Ariezel was home.I began walking even faster than before. The hallways couldn't feel any longer and I steadily broke the distance between Ariezel and I.I passed the view showing the charity, now dark due to the night. Perhaps one day, when she was comfortable enough to shift we would run across that clearing, darting and moving in tandem with one another.The thought brought another smile to my lips. Goodness, I had never smiled so much before.But it was all because

AriezelI wanted to tell him.I pondered in the confines of my room for what seemed like the millionth time. I wanted to tell Asher of my past. Reveal everything.He had done so much, been so patient. Every show of love he did, every kiss and ‘I love you’ he said, sent me further spiraling into guilt. It had been a long time coming, from friends to lovers and now his mate. One he claimed.A warm brush on my shoulder made me flinch, before I recognized the scent.Asher's lips touched my shoulder.“What Are you thinking of?” he asked.I shook his head, ignoring the bitter guilt that followed. “It's nothing.”I knew he didn't fully believe me and thanked the moon goddess that I couldn't see his worried face so I didn't spiral further into guilt.His hand lightly brushed my side and I ignored it.“If that's the case, I guess it's time for…”He brushed my side again more intentionally. I discovered his intentions too late.“Tickle fest.” Laughter forced itself out of me as I squirmed a

AsherI noticed the change quickly.One moment Ariezel leaned slightly against me, hands holding mine with a flutter of nervousness. The next moment, she was as stiff as a corpse.Was she that nervous? I wondered.I wanted to look at her. Wanted to instantly drop everything to make sure she was okay. But I couldn't at this moment. I was her Asher, but I was still an Alpha. The worst thing to do at this moment, whilst being stared down by another, was to show any weakness.So I simply squeezed her hand once more, hoping that my presence would give her some comfort.It took seconds to occur to me that I hadn't answered the mysterious Alpha's question. I stood straight, straightening my face to leave no emotions before I spoke.“Good day. And you are?"I perused his face. The man was average in height, with a leaner build than I had yet similar in other ways. His jet black hair was gelled, making him look even more upstuck. The most notable part I halted at for seconds, were his eyes. T

AsherThe surprise written on his face gave me satisfaction. He recovered from his shock, rearing back in retaliation.“We're not done here-”“Oh I think we are Derek.” I cut him off.I was far from done with him.I reveled in how his face transformed from shock to veiled rage. By calling him by his title rather than name, I had disregarded him and his leadership.“What did you just say?” he spoke threateningly.I didn't stand down, tilting my head to the side.“Alpha is too great a title for someone like you. Perhaps I should call you something more fitting. How about an abuser?” I asked“Excuse me?” he asked.“No. Even that's too tame. Wife beater seems more appropriate considering everything, right?”I craved the reaction that would come, proving that my hunch was real. I wanted to know beyond all doubts that he was the one that had caused the bruises on her skin, the nightmares. I needed to know if he was the one who made her afraid.To my rage and satisfaction, he did.“Shut the

AsherI waited with bated breath for him to leave. The second the hall doors closed I instantly snapped back, moving towards Ariezel with a speed unrivaled.I looked in surprise as I reached her. How focused was I to not have noticed when she had fallen?She was on the ground, sitting up whilst she remained staring straight at nothing. Her hands were locked together, white in a vice grip that looked painful. Not even the pain of falling had brought her back to reality.It hurt. She was in this state because of that excuse of an Alpha.The urge to chase him down from the hall and maul him filled me temptingly, but I couldn't. I wouldn't do so.I looked at Ariezel's teary eyes. She was what was important, more important than any vindication I could have gotten.“It's okay. You're okay. " I whispered in a hushed tone so she could hear solely. I was never a comforting person, but it came easy with her.Slowly I raised her up till she stood up, leaning on me. Despite everything she still s

AriezelI held my breath. Even though now I was at the forefront of it all, everything still felt daunting at the last moment.But this time I wasn't afraid. Despite the trepidation I felt, there was not one iota of hesitation in me.As I looked up at him, my thoughts were affirmed. I loved him. I loved Asher, and it was enough to share my secrets.“Derek." The name sounded so foreign to my lips, an evident sign of how long I had gone without thinking of it. Without thinking of him, until now.The thought of Derek's cruel face, the words I heard in my haze was enough. He knew about my child.But he wasn't important. Not now, as I sat with my mate and love about to tell him my past finally.“Derek said he was my mate... because he was.”The guillotine had struck. I had finally revealed part of the truth I had hidden for so long.“What?” Asher spoke, his incredulous tone evident.A flood of guilt came to me, even though I knew it didn't belong. It shouldn't have bothered me. After all,

Ariezel “Look out there! It's a pretty bird!"I looked in command, spotting the bird Camilla spoke of.Rubbing her hair gently, I shifted my gaze to face her.“Yes. It is a lovely bird." I said, smiling at her giggle.She turned back, her red curls bouncing along with her.She was the youngest out of the two of my half sisters, nine years old, although she continuously argues that she was turning ten.After getting to know Florian, he introduced me to both of them with joy. Although for now they only saw me as an aunt and the future Luna, in spite of our resemblance.It hadn't taken long for her to grow used to me, although Jolene, the older one, was more reserved.I turned to look at her in the hall we were staying in. She lounged in a chair, short blonde tresses resting on the couch as she read a book. She was the sole outlier out of us, and she was mostly quiet, always analyzing whenever I was present.It was okay, I didn't mind staying for as long as it took for her to get used t

143: AriezelIn the end, Alys and Harriet left us alone in the room. We stared at each other for what seemed like ages.I couldn't believe my eyes as I stared at the man in front of me. It seemed more like a dream as I looked at him over.I felt him doing the same to me, awe and surprise written over his face.But we couldn't stay in silence for long. Not as it stretched to the point of awkwardness. Finally regaining a bit of my senses, I parted my lips to speak.“Hello." Both our voices chorused.I blinked in surprise. As it seemed we had both spoken at the same time.The single word seemed to sway through the tension that was presented. I cracked my lips in a small smile.“Please sit down." I said, gesturing to the chair which Alys once sat in.I was sure Alys must have been grilling Harriet by now. After all, she hadn't kept this from just me but from her as well.I waved the thought away easily. Alys and Harriet were the last thing on my mind as he sat down.It was even more uncan

Ariezel“So one of the members said that she insulted her butt, so the other- her name was…Amber I think? Proceeded to shiver her own butt in my face just for comparison.”My stomach hurt badly solely from the amount of times I laughed. It was so difficult to catch my breath from the words Alys was saying.Thankfully, she waited till I was done before she spoke again.“In the end," Alys sighed despondently “The fight turned into a butt comparing contest with people as the audience and I being the judge. All I could think of at the moment was that this wasn't what I had prepared for."I howled again in laughter, the humor of her deadpan words further aggravated by the resigned, almost haunted look on her face. In my laughter I vaguely heard Alys laughter follow as minutes passed.My breaths heaving for air I looked at Alys to find an amused look on her face.“I glad that my misery could make you a little bit happy.” she said.I shook my head quickly in response .“I'm so sorry." I apo

AriezelI was weightless, swimming in darkness without a care in the world. It felt like there was nothing holding me back. It might as well have been true.Like wisps of smoke, memories and voices came to me, only to fade away the moment I tried reaching out for them. In the end, I remained floating.I didn't know how much time I had spent, but soon, everything began to fade. The weightless darkness I floated in materialized until a firmament grew below, carrying me. The weightless darkness faded into something else. Something more material.Like a disk, I was drawn out of my water and the peaceful darkness, into something more material.And slowly but surely, I opened my heavy eyelids to see blinding light.It took me time to adjust, squinting and blinking against the harsh brightness. Once I finally did, all my other senses came back.A soft but firm surface below me, the scent of comfort that wafted over and ceiling I felt familiar in.Where was I?My memories then came back and

AsherI focused on her, taking her hand in mine in spite of everything in me that resisted.“Hello Serena." I said in a gratingly low voice, looking into her eyes.She sighed, looking awestruck as she looked at me.She, just like all the others who had once fought and scrambled to force me to mate with them, only saw what I was from the outside. A ruthless alpha and a powerful one.There was only one who didn't.Thoughts hammered in my head, coaxing me to go back and fix what I had done. I stayed firm however and brought the blonde woman closer.It was only a matter of time.“Let's go inside Serena.” coaxing her away, I led her inside, eyeing the rest of her guards who moved away, paving the path for us.Together, we moved through the forest with her and I at the forefront whilst the rest of my soldiers and hers followed from behind. Our arms were linked as we walked while she spoke ravingly. She kept on rambling about how she knew that I was going to come back to her and all her :sac

Ariezel My breath caught as those words reverberated through my brain long after they had gone.‘What?'My heart stuttered the moment I heard them, confusion filling my senses as I looked at him.It wasn't an illusion. Those were the words that came out of his mouth.‘Why?’What was he thinking? Why would he say that?I tried to look at him, praying that he would look at me and tell me that it was a hoax or something. Anything.But he kept his eyes away, focusing on Serena.“Asher." I cried out. I struggled against their grip, uncaring at that moment. It was only when I felt the threatening cool metal pressing against me in warning that I stopped.I didn't stop looking at him however, hoping that my call would finally make him focus on me.To my relief, it did.When he looked at me, I didn't expect to see his gaze so cold and shuttered.I was thrown aback by the sudden stare. This wasn't my Asher. The distance in his stare reminded me of back then, when he suddenly left me.My blood t

Ariezel “Relax. He'll be back in no time.” Alys said.I smiled at her in turn, yet I couldn't focus properly.Under the protection of soldiers within my room, Alys and Harriet stayed to keep me company throughout. Hours had passed, yet with no news, we stayed in place with more worries than not.Alys had left the hospital and held the same worried gaze in spite of her constant assurance. It was especially more of a necessity for her considering that Ambrose had gone along with Asher. Now we were both waiting and hoping that all went well for the sake of our mates.“I…I actually have something to tell you guys." Harriet spoke hesitantly.I was grateful for any distraction that could take away the churning anxiety.I had never expected what she would say next.“I found my mate."My jaw dropped.“Oh my…oh Goddess." Alys was the first to move forward, taking Harriet's hands in hers.“That's so good. I'm happy for you.” Alys gushed out.I knew that in spite of her carefree attitude, she

Asher The night was still, without so much as a cricket sound.My gaze swept the place. As I had expected, the security was lax.‘How foolish of them.’We had left the pack by evening, marching and moving until we hid close to the border of the Pack.When I told Ariezel of the sped up plans, she was worried, kissing me goodbye on the forehead.“Be safe." She whispered.My heart skipped a beat for her, knowing that she was out of my reach, filling me with anxiety.But there was no reason for me to be so worried about her this time. I had placed several guards under her to watch.Now? It was already midnight. We had trailed the path, waiting inconspicuously for hours. Whether or not Derek was here, at least I would be able to finish off one thing.It was soon time. My instincts were on overdrive, pumped with adrenaline. I could feel the weight of the celrescent moon above us.They wouldn't see this coming.I rose my hand to signal them all.This was the same thing they had done to us.

Asher “199…200.” I grunted out, pushing my body up.Only a day was left before the attack was launched. Until them, I had to continuously put myself in prime condition for certain victory.That involved constantly working out day by day, straining myself to the limits within the span of time I had.My days had only been limited to those two things; training and Ariezel. I wasn't shy to say that the majority of my time was spent with Ariezel, whether it was from taking walks with her to watching over her in the nights till early in the morning. I remained constantly by her side.Nothing was going to happen overnight, much less after two days. She was still reeling from my acceptance and remained hesitant. My heart still ached as she woke up with nightmares.But unlike before, she never faked a smile like before. She spoke openly about her nightmares before she slipped back into sleep. Even when she stiffened at the mention of her condition, whenever I was there, she relaxed. This tim
