I've found my mate. My second chance, mate. Once again, out of nowhere, the moon has disregarded my pleas not to show me the truth. Who would have predicted that I would one day have another opportunity to find my mate after having been turned down by the future Alpha of the Sky River pack?I am a rejected she-wolf. I am a rejected warrior, but right now the tables have turned, and I have another mate. I feel like the Moon Goddess is playing tricks on me; therefore, I don't even want to think of myself as fortunate.How can I feel lucky when I have this overwhelming confusion in my head? Is it a natural and moral thing for me to be in the arms of yet another man when I know deep down that I am still tied to Phoenix? I never actually heard of anyone having a second chance mate when the bond between the first mate hasn't completely disintegrated yet.Do I have a good feeling about this? To be really honest, no. I should be delighted about this, I know, but I can't help but dwell on what
Cleo is pregnant. I heard that very loud and clear, and I was just wide-eyed, staring at Blaze. I know I heard him correctly, and thus I was waiting for an explanation, but then nothing came out of him.That outburst from me was the last to be heard, as it was immediately followed by silence in the room. I am so furious that I wanted to smack him right there and then wait for him to give me an explanation, but it seems that he never plans to.I am doing everything in my power to keep my furious outburst under control, but it can be really challenging and difficult because I can feel and hear Eris whimpering inside of me.My wolf is in pain. I can feel how disheartened she is after hearing the truth from our supposed mate. It is like history is repeating itself for us once more. But I do understand Eris's plight, because just the same as hers, my heart feels like it's shattering into a million little pieces after hearing what Blaze had to say.To put it more gently, we are both hurting,
"Blaze, damn! Blaze! Dammit! What could possibly have happened to you?" Quen lashed out in panic as his friend lay motionless on the bed. "Blaze, bullshit! You're scaring me! Wake up!"Damn! Everyone was on edge, searching for any indication as to what had happened with Blaze, especially when the underboss was the one who found out about the status of their boss. Doctors were called immediately, but none of them could say what really happened or what was wrong with their leader.Quen yelled again, directing his men, "What the hell happened in here? How stupid all of you can be not to know what took place in here! Who was with him? Damn all of you! I need fucking answers!"It was to be expected that the underboss would be incensed after witnessing their boss unconscious in his own room at the warehouse. There is no indication that there was a forced entry, and he is quite sure that no one would also dare do that on their turf. So what really happened with Blaze?"I need answers, you stu
"Snow, we weren't supposed to abandon him like that. Are you sure he is going to be all right? What if he is in pain? What if something happens to him?" Eris has been persistent since they left Blaze, and Snow is not liking it.Her wolf has been beseeching her since they left her mate, but she is trying her best to disregard her wolf's whims. She knows that he might be in pain, but this is just the proper course of action for them and nothing else. Staying with Blaze is not an option anymore, especially if he is indeed fathering a child with another woman."We need to get back. We need to alert Quen or his men to check on him. Don't be too harsh on him, Snow. We may be in pain because of what he did to us, but we can't let our mate die just like that."To be honest, she is also worried about Blaze. She saw how he got on his knees when she announced that rejection. She realized how much the sudden bolt of pain hurt him when he tried to call out to her when she turned her back on him.An
"Finally, my mate is here.""What are you talking about? What do you mean your mate is here? Are you completely out of your mind? That can't be, and you know that. You must be hallucinating.""My mate is here, Tank. I am sure of that, and it is not just my imagination, because even Max can sniff our mate.""Do you honestly believe that you have a mate? Are you forgetting that you are bound to have no mate at all?""I have a fucking mate, Tank! What are you even saying?""So you think the Moon Goddess has forgiven you already? Is she like giving you a second chance now, you mean?""No, idiot! This is not a second-chance mate, but probably a second chance for us to make things right.""What? You are going crazy.""She's back, Tank. My mate is back, and as I have told you, even before, I can still feel her. Though the mind link is kind of vague, I can still hear her and feel her. We are still connected. The mate link hasn't fully cut off."Tank gave his alpha an expression of bewilderment
"We're losing it, Snow. We're losing our mate's scent. We have to move fast. We can't lose him again. We can't let him slip away from us again. We have wasted so much opportunity to find our mate; it is our chance to be happy."As usual, my wolf has been too preoccupied with the scent that was welcoming us when we reached the pack borders, and her conviction that we would eventually find our mate again has been what she has talked about since then.I mean, is she not getting tired of this? She can only be heartbroken for a couple of hours before returning to claiming that we have a potential mate, which frustrates me so much. Isn't she tired—not just of us running away and draining our energy to reach the pack but also of running away from our mates, who always turned out to be assholes?I really don't have any plans to have a third chance mate right now because I am exhausted from being rejected and rejecting my mate. The idea that I am given how many chances there are in finding a ma
"Where the hell is she? Did any of you find her?" Another burst of fury from Blaze's voice reverberated across the room. "Where the fucking hell did she go this time? I need to find her by any means necessary! Fucking let me out of here! Are all of you forgetting who the boss is?! Quen, damn you!"Quen responded by saying, "Damn it, Blaze! Will you calm down? Tantrums like this are not good for you.""Come on, really? Calm down? You want me to fucking calm down? Are you hearing yourself right now?""Yes, I want you to calm down. Don't stress yourself too much.""I find it impossible to calm down or even to be at ease when the reality that Snow just left is hitting me hard. She can't just leave me. I had to go after her, like I have been telling you since I woke up. I had to go out and search for her because she can't protect herself. What would happen if she suffered another setback and she's in danger again? I cannot allow anything to happen to her. Fuck it, Quen. Let me out!""Bullsh
After returning to the pack a few days ago, I'm still not certain if I made the right choice with this one. Eris and I haven't talked much about it, but I know that she is feeling my apprehension about a lot of things, and her choosing not to nag me about it is a good thing.I am the only one who can take responsibility for the complexity of things at the moment, and that is not very encouraging at all, but I cannot do anything about it. I am so stressed to the point that I don't even know what to do anymore.My thoughts constantly return to the particular day of my arrival, reliving every detail of that scenario in my head. Even though I am aware of the consequences of my actions and must accept things just the way they are, I cannot help but wonder what is truly happening.---"Snow, you're back!" Ryder made his way to me and immediately gave me an emotional hug and pointed out, "Goodness, where the hell have you been?! I have been looking for you. What happened to you?""Ryder!" I a
Alpha Cohen is unable to determine how long he had been out of consciousness, but when he regained awareness, the first thing he came across was the knowledge that he was iron-chained to the walls. He is still feeling dizzy and lightheaded, so he is refraining from making any drastic moves.He is sure that whatever he is feeling at this point is an effect from the wolfsbane that has been injected into him. That poison might have been the cause of why he fell unconscious, but still it is fortunate for him that he was able to withstand the effects due to him being an alpha.The situation he is in is really difficult and dangerous, as he doesn't really know who to trust anymore. A lot of his pack members have turned against him and shifted to Ronan, and that is something that he can't understand why. He is furious about what is happening, but he is being careful a
"Alpha Phoenix, Luna Snow, I truly apologize for the disturbance that I am making right now, but there is something that you should know," Tank said apologetically. "There is someone who wants to see you."Phoenix and Snow are taking time off from their pack duties in order to have a special quiet moment together, as spending time with each other is essential for them to further nurture their bond, but the manner in which Tank spoke explicitly suggests that something critical has come up, and as the alpha and luna, they need to take time to listen to what he has to say and prioritize the pack."What is it, Tank? What's the matter?" Alpha Phoenix asks his beta. "Is something wrong? Who wanted to see us?""Alpha, Luna Sierra, and Beta Mark of the Black Knight Pack are here. They wanted to talk to you and Luna Snow."
Alpha Cohen has been continuously feeling giddy for quite a while now, but he has been trying to dismiss the negative thoughts and morbid scenes playing in his mind, even though that is so hard to do. Something just doesn't feel right for him, but he can't really pinpoint where his anxiousness is coming from.He and his beta, Mark, were just talking about how they could get far ahead of Ronan's schemes, so there is really no point in becoming uneasy at this point. He had already made plans with his beta on how they could derail Ronan's attacks, and it's even a good thing that Phoenix's father is still blissfully unaware that his daughter has returned and has officially become Phoenix's mate.Time is of the essence for all of them, so he is also aware that their big secret, that Snow and Phoenix are mates, will not be kept for so long, so they need to be prepare
"Did everything go well?" Alpha Cohen Saunders questioned Ryder as soon as the Black Knight pack's fighter arrived at his office. "Is Snow alright in there? Do we need to send in people from our pack to ensure my daughter's safety? I don't want to take any chances at all, Ryder. We must ensure Snow's safety at all costs.""No need to worry about anything at all, Alpha. Sky River Pack accepted Snow as their Luna wholeheartedly. She is doing alright and is, in fact, enjoying being welcomed by the whole pack. The festivity is still ongoing as we speak, and she seems to be enjoying every moment of it," Ryder stated. "Phoenix has been with her all throughout the announcement, ensuring that Snow is okay, so there is really nothing to be concerned about."Ryder recently returned from the Sky River Pack to make sure that Snow has had no issues with Phoenix's pack. When
"Luna, it's about time." As Phoenix called out these words to me, my heart started to pound hard in my chest. I felt somewhat anxious about what was about to happen next. And as if he's reading what was in my thoughts again, he said, "Hey, everything's going to be fine, my love," in a whisper, wrapping his arms around my waist and trailing his lips on my neck all the way through my mark. "They'll like you. Trust me that they won't have any violent reactions when they meet you.""I don't know. I don't want to feel this way, but I am really feeling a bit scared right now." And this is me forgetting that I am a warrior because I am admitting to myself and to my mate my fear at the moment. "What if they don't accept me as their luna?"My mate smiled at me as he caressed my cheeks in an attempt to pacify me. "They'll like you, Snow. And they've been excited to meet
The entire area was so silent that even the sound of a pin dropping was likely to be overheard. There have been no words spoken, and all they can do is stare at one another in silence. All of them are in deep thought about the reality that was about to change everything for them.Everyone struggled to find the right words, uncertain about how to handle the situation as it was. Nobody expected the truth to be this way; nevertheless, it is, and no spoken words were sufficient to justify the emotions they are experiencing. Who would have thought that they would come face to face with this kind of truth? Quen and Blythe are not ready for anything like this.It had been several days since Blaze awoke from his coma, and after that, numerous procedures followed. It was necessary for them to know the boss's condition. After ensuring that he was already doing well and r
Snow gasped out to her wolf all of a sudden, "He's in pain and he's dying. I don't know what's happening to him." She has been feeling uneasy since earlier; she has even tried to disregard the negative thoughts that come with the fear that is building inside of her, but at this moment, she can no longer put it behind her because her sense of anxiety is becoming stronger over time. "We need to see him. We need to know what's happening."Even without speaking names, her wolf recognizes who she is making reference to. And Eris is adamant about agreeing with her, simply because she is aware it will get them into trouble again, not just with the pack, but especially with their alpha mate."I don't feel anything anymore, Snow; whatever attachment I used to have with him vanished after our alpha mate marked us." Eris is trying to break it to her gently that she won't
"Argh! Bullshit! Ouch! What the hell is this?" Blaze's tormented voice reverberated throughout the room. What could possibly be happening to him again? "Quen! Fuck it! I'm in so much pain!"He has no idea what is happening to him again; nevertheless, he feels as if he is about to die any minute now. But in this moment of distress, all he can think about is Snow, his mate. The pain he feels right now is far greater than the pain that he felt when Snow told him that he had been rejected. He doesn't want to think about it, but is this somewhat related to the woman he loves? Is what happening to him because of Snow again?"Quen! Blythe!" He cried out again. He requires help since he is gradually losing himself in the pit of darkness that is slowly engulfing him as an effect of his distress. "Help! Somebody help me!"He
For them both, this night has special significance in every way possible. After completing the marking ritual, what will happen next between them is becoming one, not just in heart and mind but in bodies as well.Phoenix has been observing his mate, taking his sweet time to ingrain her memory in his mind. He is feeling a lot of emotions for the woman in front of him, and he never thought that this could still be possible between them, but it is, and now, Snow is his completely. He is thankful for the moon goddess that he was still given another chance to rewrite their love story.Snow is completely unconcerned about what was about to transpire between her and her mate. If before she was uncertain if she was ready or not, now she has fully given herself up to her mate, and there is no longer any apprehension for the man in front of her. She is now entirely submi
