Second Chance Mate Chapter forty-nine
Ethan’s POVI couldn't blame Ariah for not showing up, but I was still surprised she didn't. Lowell came behind me, he must have noticed what I did too and he said, "In her defense, it would have been too difficult to take, did I tell you we had a chat earlier today?" I looked at him, "You did? When was that and what did you talk about?" I asked. "That was when you were locked up in your study like a hibernating animal, we went for a walk. And what else do you think we talked about apart from you and the pack and Layla? From what I can say, she's more than heartbroken, I think it was the best decision for her not to come." Lowell replied, his eyes as serious as ever. I sighed, my eyebrows gathering in a worried look, "I'm afraid she might hurt herself or something." "Hey! It's the man himself, really proud of you this time, Ethan." An elderly Lycan king said and slapped me on the shoulder as he walked past. I nodded and flashed a brief and emotionless smile at him. "I

Ethan’s POVWhat a bloody day it has been so far.The event was flagged off by an elder from my pack and most of the time, while the few people who had brief speeches to give gave them, I sat stiffly with a frown on my face. Layla had the opposite expression on her face, she was happy and smiling broadly the whole time as she sat next to me. Her father's speech was pretty short and direct but I was hardly listening. All I wondered was what Ariah was doing right now and if she would show up for the feast later on. "As you all know, this is the biggest day we have seen in a very long time, and trust me, I've been around for a long time." Alpha Campbell started his speech. "Here is a day that will bring together two very similar cities who differ a lot in various ways and I am nothing but proud that my pack and I have been able to contribute immensely to making this a success." There was a brief round of applause, then it died down as slowly as it had risen. "This night marks the end

Ariah’s POV I thought the guard had deserted me because I was so bored, but he had only gone for a drink.He came back with that cold expression on his face and a glass of cheap liquor. "You could have asked me to get something from the king's cabinet, he surely wouldn't have minded since you're so busy watching over me," I said nicely and he just stared at me. "We don't mess with the king's stuff." He said flatly and looked away. I gave up trying to talk to him and concluded that remaining in boredom was a better idea, so I decided to call it a night. I got to my feet and his alert and sharp eyes cast a look at me. "You don't have to watch me anymore, I'm going to bed now," I said but he didn't reply. I shrugged and walked past him, he followed me! I thought he just wanted to go back to the feast but no, he followed me up the stairs and I got so uncomfortable, I had to turn and address him. "What are you doing?" I asked, staring at him in confusion. "I said I'm going to bed,

Layla’s POV It was all going to plan and I was elated that I had gotten up to this point.The hall was starting to get empty as people started leaving for the pack house, I was caught up with a few people I knew, Lunas of other packs, and all the others I couldn't refer to as my friends and I completely lost Ethan in the crowd. When I found my way around them, I searched for Ethan but I couldn't find him anywhere. Lowell came to me as I was about to walk out, I had to get fond of him because I had immediately noticed the closeness between him and Ethan. "Lowell, have you seen Ethan?" I asked as politely as I could. "Oh yes, he asked me to accompany you to the feast, he left while you were still busy with your friends." He replied in a plain tone. "Where is he? Did he have something urgent to do?" I asked curiously. His eyes flickered, and then he said, "Uhm...Yeah, he had some office work he had to go clear up before the feast started, he won't be long for sure." I nodded. "We

Ariah’s POV I was so tense as I descended the stairs.Leia had picked it for me, the black dazzling gown I wore was all her idea. "I think it befits the occasion, you're mourning the dead relationship between you and Ethan, aren't you?" She had said while I was looking in the mirror. "Good one, Leia," I remarked bitterly. "And fuck you." I walked down the stairs and the first person I saw was Lowell, it seemed like he was waiting for someone. When I tapped him gently on the shoulders, he turned and said, "Finally, Ariah, there you...." His voice trailed off as he looked at me over, his eyes wide with awe and admiration. "...are." He completed the sentence. "Beta Lowell? Is everything alright?" I asked, wondering if I was overdressed for this although I didn't even wear any make-up. "Everything is great..." He said slowly. "And so is that damn outfit, you look stunning." He said with awe-filled eyes. Despite how nervous and panicky I was, I flashed a smile at him, "Thank you, E

Ariah’s POV Just when I thought meeting Alpha James at the ballroom would be the worst thing to happen to me, there came Layla.What a bitch! I had to go change my outfit because I didn't want to go the rest of the night smelling like liquor. To be honest, I didn't want to go back there with everyone's eyes lingering on me, I became the center of attraction twice in ten minutes for opposite reasons. Lowell led me to a bathroom on the ground floor and left me with his suit as I rushed in. I washed my face and left the water running as I stared angrily at the mirror. I could have smacked the shit out of her if she wasn't who she was. "Ugh! This is so fucking annoying, I don't have another black dress!" I exclaimed as I brushed my face with my palms. Luckily I had no make-up on, if not, my face would have been a complete mess. "Then you can wear the white one," Leia said.There was a beautiful white dress in the wardrobe that I never thought I'd wear. "You said I was mourning, didn

Ethan’s POVI was annoyed with Layla after she spilled the drink on Ariah.I had noticed Layla's movements from the corner of my eyes while I had been talking to Lowell, it didn't look like a mistake to me, that was what was so annoying. I was about to rush towards Ariah, Lowell held me back firmly and he didn't make it look so awkward as he rushed to her instead. I just watched as he led her out of the room, Ariah cringing in embarrassment and keeping her head low. I sighed when they were out of sight and looked at Layla scornfully, "That was a stupid mistake to make, Layla." I said. She looked at me in surprise, "Are you scolding me because of that? It was a mistake, why would I spill a glass of wine on her purposely?" She asked. You tell me! I thought that sure didn't look like a bloody mistake to me. "You don't spill drinks like that," I said firmly. "Why are you making a fuss about it, Ethan? It's not like she's anyone important, is she?" Layla retorted. I could have lashed

Layla’s POVDid I spill the drink on her on purpose? Yes, it was completely intentional.Now, I regretted it though, she came back even better, even more daring and I could feel my blood just boiling like it was on a pressure cooker. I was very surprised by how Ethan reacted to the incident with Ariah, for I second there I thought he was going to lurch at me or something. That made me very suspicious, certainly, something must be going on between the both of them. Their relationship was certainly something more than what met the eyes. For a lot of reasons, that triggered my anger and curiosity even more, I flared up at Ethan. That was one thing I tried to control, my temper and the way words flew out of my mouth. My thoughts just couldn't leave Ariah, what was her position in the pack? She seemed to be someone very important, she showed up at the feast at my pack and now she was here. Although I hadn't caught sight of her at the coronation, she just had escaped my eyes then. If she

Ariah’s POV Two weeks later, we still had not heard anything about Layla or how she managed to escape, but then it wasn't about her anymore. The Blue Moon pack had been conquered and merged into Ethan's pack, but then that wasn't even all. The Lycans were dominating over the werewolves and Ethan was at the forefront of it all. There was going to be a rule implemented soon that would see a supreme ruler ruling over both the Lycan City and the Werewolf City. One faithful day when I was in the master bedroom of the pack house, Ethan walked in with a bright smile on his face. It was the normal time he came back from the pack office in the evening, but this time just seemed different. "Guess what?" He asked."Hmm…" I looked at the ceiling as I pretended to be in deep thought. "You're still on cloud nine after the sex we had last night?" I asked. He smirked, "Very close, but no." He laughed softly. "It's something way bigger than that. The elders want to meet with you and me in th

Ariah’s POV "Make up your mind, Ariah. We don't have the time for you to ponder." He urged quickly. I stared at Lowell, I could bet that James was going to kill him if I didn't act quickly. "One…two…it's a three count." He smirked. I set myself and kicked him between the legs with all the strength I could muster and his eyes almost bulged out of their sockets. He let out a loud, sharp cry and the next moment, he was on the ground, groaning in pain. His forehead bulged with veins and his face turned red completely. "You fucking bitch!" He yelled.I kicked him hard in the stomach and rushed towards Lowell. He was bleeding from his nose and the edges of his lips. "Lowell! Lowell! Are you okay?" I asked hysterically as I helped him into a more comfortable and less awkward position. He groaned slightly, "I'm…I'm okay…Come on, help me up." He said in a low, breaking voice. I grabbed his arm and heaved him up with surprising strength. He staggered and then dropped to one knee.

Ariah’s POV Ethan also stopped by my side abruptly as he stared ahead. We were in the middle of the bloodiest battle I've seen in a while and we were just standing there like statues. "Either I'm blind or that's Layla standing by James's side," I said in a shaky voice.I was somewhat shocked, she still wasn't remorseful, even after what had happened, Layla still wanted to get at me. "That's her alright," Ethan said. "Now I wonder why I'm even surprised."Of course, I should have known that she was the one who told James my whereabouts from the moment Lowell walked in with that letter. What a fucking snake! James walked towards us with a wicked snarl on his face and said, "Well, well, well. I'm sure you got my letter, instead of waiting for me to come at you, you struck first. Brilliant!" He exclaimed in a loud voice. "I'd have attacked either way," Ethan said calmly.Having Ethan and James in the same place and at the same time was quite unsettling. Not for once did I envisi

Ariah's POV I was really tense by the time the next morning came. The previous night, before Lowell's interruption, I was pretty sure that Ethan and I were going to have sex. The moment was there, everything was perfect, but then, things weren't just the same anymore. I became restless after that letter, I started to see real danger for Ethan. Even though he was a Lycan and Lycans were much more dangerous than werewolves, I was still very anxious. James was cunning, I wanted him to pay for all he did to me, but I didn't want anything to happen to Ethan in the process. I heard a noise outside the window and with a thumping heart, I quickly rushed to it and peered out into the dark. My eyes took some time to adapt, but finally, I started to see and make out the figures below. I gasped.I couldn't even count them! All of a sudden, I felt an overpowering presence behind me. One that gave me comfort, one that made me feel safe. I didn't have to turn to see who it was, Ethan towered b

Ethan's POV Lowell was excited as he stormed into my study the next day with a huge smile on his face. "The war's over! The bloody war's over, Ethan! You fucking genius! You did it!" He exclaimed with excitement, he was beyond himself with joy. The edges of my lips curled into a narrow smile, then my face went serious again. "How?" "Layla's father called a meeting yesterday evening with all the Alphas of the werewolf packs and guess what? They have called off any hint of a war. Sheesh! I can finally breathe and so can you!" He replied and laughed. "Hmm."He frowned at me, "Hmm? Hmm? That's all you have to say about this? Hmm?" He asked. "What else do you expect me to say? I saw it coming." I replied imperiously and he smirked. "I have something to take care of, Lowell and I don't know if you'll come with me or not," I said and his face went serious. "Someone has been messing with Ariah in all the wrong ways and I intend to take care of that." "But I thought you had alread

Layla’s POV "You blew it."That was all my father said when we got back to our pack. The look of disappointment and visible exhaustion on his face genuinely made me feel bad for him. "You're my only daughter, Layla." He said as we walked into the living room.I trailed behind him recently, hoping he wouldn't turn to look at me as he glared up but he eventually did and I had nowhere else to turn but to look straight at him. "You had everything you needed right from when you were young. So what the hell went wrong, Layla? What? How did you turn into this?" He asked so many questions at once that I wasn't sure he wanted me to reply. "Father-” I called but he cut me off harshly. "Not a fucking word, Layla!" He roared, stunning me to silence immediately. "Why do you have that look on your face? Why do you have that look in your eyes? Where's the bloody remorse? Don't you feel bad for the people who died along the way just for you to fulfill your goals?" I swallowed my words, but I

Ariah’s POV I welcomed the idea, I needed to clear my head because everything that had happened there happened so damn fast! We got into the car and didn't say a word until the chauffeur got the engine rolling. He looked at me and suddenly his arm wrapped around my waist and pulled me to him. Our faces were almost touching and the full weight of my breasts pressed against his heavy chest.I wondered if he could hear the loud thumping of my quick-beating heart. "Why didn't you tell me that was going to happen?" I asked finally. "You left me so dumbfounded!" He grinned, "I think the only person who wasn't left dumbfounded in that room was Lowell." He remarked. "I wanted it to be a surprise." "Well, heck yeah it was!" I exclaimed, still not able to come to terms with the fact that there was a future in store for me and Ethan. "I still can't believe it," I said slowly. He arched an eyebrow at me, "Believe what?" He asked, pulling me closer so that my forehead rested on his and our

Ariah’s POVI was so surprised to see him that I didn't know when I lost grip of the towel around my body. I gasped and was about to pick up the towel when his eyes stopped me. The way he looked at me set my body on fire and I wasn't sure if I wanted to cover up my nakedness anymore. His eyes traced over my body, taking their time on each of my features until they finally looked into my eyes again. That was when I snapped out of it and quickly picked up the towel and covered myself. My cheeks blotched red with embarrassment, but there was a little tickle of delight in my tummy. He blinked severally and looked away. "Uhm…try something called knocking next time?" I said mockingly as I walked to the wardrobe. "You should handle your towel better, you can't keep dropping things." He replied, his voice teasing me rather than scolding me.I hid a smile as I dressed up, although I didn't look at him, I knew his eyes were glued to me the whole time. When I slipped on a sky-blue gown that

Ethan’s POV Her entire body was trembling as she stood at the door, staring at us. This wasn't the Layla I knew, she looked hideous, and this was the first time I had ever seen her shed tears. "Ethan…" She called softly and shut her eyes tightly as the tears poured out. "Can we talk for a short while, just me and you, before you do anything else?"I exchanged glances with her father, and although I didn't want to talk to her, I still granted her this last wish. "Alright," I said huskily and her father rose slowly to his feet. He hugged and kissed her forehead on his way out and closed the door gently behind him. "There isn't much to say, Layla," I said as she walked to the chair slowly. "I know." She said, "You don't have much to say to me but you have a lot to hear, Ethan. There's no use saying I'm sorry," She sniffled. "It was all for you…and I would keep saying that the biggest regret of my life was that you didn't end up falling in love with me, even when I had gotten
