Second Chance Luna Ch. 27: First Date pt. 1
ALEKSANDR I had just finished setting up all the details for our date. I hate that I’m running late because I know how punctual Rieka is, but I wanted everything to be perfect. I know that it might be difficult for Rieka to leave her kids as well, so I planned the date to be close by. As I enter the packhouse, I can smell her delicious milk, honey, and rain scent. I love that her scent is stronger and more easily detectable now. I follow my nose and find Rieka and the kids in the game room with my mom and Drea. I can’t help but stand back at the door and just watch for minute. I almost feel like I’m seeing a flash into my future. I love the idea of my home being full of children. I don’t mind that they aren’t my kids. I will love them and protect them as if they were my own pups. Rieka must have sensed me behind her. She turns to look over her shoulder, and mom and Drea turn as well. Of course, mom and Drea already knew I was here. They could smell my scent as soon as I b
Second Chance Luna Ch. 28: First Date pt. 2
ALEKSANDR The date was going perfectly. Ian had everything set up when we arrived at the clearing. Although I could smell his scent as if he was just here, he was nowhere in sight. Rieka seemed to enjoy the dinner and she looked genuinely surprised when I pulled out the dessert. We moved over to the blanket and enjoyed the view as we watched the sunset. She was very open and shared more with me about her hopes, dreams, and goals in life. I learned that she loves the ocean and the beach. I was a little concerned at first that staying here with me might be a disappointment to her because we are not close enough to the ocean, but she also seemed to really enjoy the mountain views. If she wants to go see the ocean, I will take her as often as I can. She loves to travel and wants to see the world, so maybe every year we can take a trip to a different destination around the world. Even an alpha needs a vacation occasionally. I shared a little about myself with her, but tonight is
Second Chance Luna Ch. 29: Serious Conversations
ALEKSANDR Rieka did agree to go out with me again, but she has a very busy work schedule this week, so we couldn’t get together for an official date until next weekend. However, she agreed to a quick lunch date on Tuesday. It’s not going to give us enough time or privacy to discuss the things I need to tell her, so I’ll have to wait until our next official date, but I couldn’t wait that long to see her again. Now that I’ve tasted her lips, I’m more addicted than I ever could have imagined, and my wolf keeps pushing me to be more aggressively affectionate. He’s been ready to mark and mate her since the moment we first scented her and laid eyes on her, but now that her scent has reached full strength and we have felt how perfectly our lips fit together, it’s getting harder and harder to hold him back. When I told my mother about Rieka’s scent increasing to full strength she simply smiled and nodded in approval. She never says more than what is necessary when it comes to her vision
Second Chance Luna Ch. 30: Second Date
ALEKSANDR I hope Rieka wasn’t offended by my suggestion of the new salad place for lunch, but Drea told me that she is somewhat insecure about her weight, and I love eating healthy. I usually try to keep lunch lighter because it’s unpleasant to shift, run, or fight after a large meal. If my stomach is too full it slows me down. I’m still faster and strong than any human and most wolves, but I never want to be caught unprepared, especially with our current rogue situation. When I arrive at the restaurant, I see that Rieka is already there, and waiting just inside the doors. She looks incredible in her signature style. Skinny jeans, red heels, and a ramones black graphic t-shirt with a red suit jacket. I've noticed she often matches her heels to her jackets. I’m itching to hold her in my arms and kiss her again. We never discussed it, so I’m not sure how she feels about public displays of affection, but wolves are always affectionate. We don’t care who is around. The moment I
Second Chance Luna Ch. 31: Can We Talk?
ALEKSANDR We were finally alone again and seeing Rieka standing there barefoot in the sunlight with her beautiful muscular thighs on display for me for the first time, I couldn’t hold back any longer. I walked up behind her and pulled her close to me. Now that her scent is full strength, the mate bond is almost impossible for me to fight. I inhale deeply filling my head with her enticing scent. Almost immediately I felt as if I was drunk, and my wolf began to take over. I kissed her on the neck, and she responded so well that I kept going. Moving down her neck towards the spot where I would eventually mark her as mine. I could feel my fangs elongating and I was losing control of my wolf. He was ready to mark her right here and now. At that moment, Rieka slowly pulled away, as if she knew that I needed help to control myself. Thankfully, her movements were slow enough that I was able to shove my wolf back down and compose myself before she turned to face me. “Can we talk abo
Second Chance Luna Ch. 32: The Mate Bond
ALEKSANDR “So, you’re telling me that everything I feel for you is because of this mate bond?” She questioned skeptically. Rieka and I are sitting next to each other on a couch in a private room back at my packhouse. The kids were fine. The rogues didn’t come anywhere near the packhouse, and they were well protected with my mom, Dustin, and Drea all here. We needed some privacy from everyone so we could talk, and I could attempt to explain. I had just finished telling her about the supernatural world, and I spent extra time explaining werewolves and the mate bond. Rieka calmly listened to all my descriptions, and never once appeared to be scared or creeped out by any of it. Although, I couldn’t read her at all. She was basically emotionless. “Wait, does this mean that Dustin and Drea are werewolves too?” She continued. I nod my head and take a deep breath before attempting to explain the mate bond better. “Your feelings for me are real, the mate bond just helps to intensif
Second Chance Luna Ch. 33: Protection Detail
ALEKSANDR As soon as Rieka left with the kids I grabbed an extra pair of shorts, shifted, and ran as fast as I could back toward her house. When I got close, I shifted back into my human form, put my shorts on, and ran straight to her house. I didn’t want to freak her out by telling her that the rogues had her shoes and therefore her scent, and we don’t know what they intend to do with it. However, I wanted to personally make sure her home was safe before she and the children returned. I didn’t see, hear, or scent any rogues in the area, and I didn’t want Rieka to be upset with me for staking out her house, so I took off before she would ever know I was there. While I was running back home, I mind-linked Dustin, Emmett, and Ian and asked them to meet me in my office. They were all waiting for me when I walk in, and from the looks on their faces, they had a pretty good idea what this was about. “Alright, the rogues have Rieka’s shoes, and can now track her location. It might ta
Second Chance Luna Ch. 34: Doubt
RIEKA When I woke up this morning it almost felt like everything that happened with Aleksandr was just a bad dream, and as much as I tried to convince myself that it was, I knew the truth. Twenty-four hours ago, I was excited about my second date with a man who I was quickly falling head over heels for, and today I’m wrestling with the idea that he’s part animal, literally, and now I’m being watched by his enemies who are also part animal. Surprisingly, I’m still not all that freaked out about the whole werewolf thing. I guess my love of reading and the fact that I read so much fantasy has mentally prepared me to deal with something this outrageous. However, I can’t seem to get over the whole mate bond and the idea of me being his “second chance” mate. I know it’s ridiculous, but I’m really hung up on it. I don’t trust my own mind or emotions. Although, this does explain a lot of my recent behaviors that were out of character for me. Reminiscing about the first time I met Drea
