Second Chance Luna
Chapter 55

"Huh, wait. Your first mate was also an alpha?" William asked.

His voice carried further than intended and drew a few looks in their direction. Though many heard the rumor Phoebe had been rejected they knew nothing about her first mate. That fact no longer surprised her. Phoebe had long ago realized the shame of rejection followed the recipient not the giver. "Yes," Phoebe nodded. "We met shortly after he returned from his time at the Alpha School. We only knew each other based on rumors. It was the first time we ever met face-to-face."

"And he rejected you...just like that?" William scoffed.

"He had already decided to take a chosen mate while he was at school," Phoebe shrugged. "I guess he didn't want to change his mind."

She leaned against Jason hoping he would relax. The moment William started talking about her first mate he tensed. It seemed it was more of a sensitive subject to him than it ever was to her. "You!"

Phoebe jerked to attention and turned to the door as did everyone else to see Camilla wearing a light blue gown.

Máni sneered at the blatant disrespect. This was Phoebe's Luna Ceremony after all and Camilla was nowhere near Luna status. At first, Phoebe wondered what the she-wolf could possibly want until she realized Camilla's attention was on Lily. Is she really doing this now?'

This should be interesting, Máni mused.

"How dare you try to take my place," Camilla stalked toward their small circle.

Phoebe had to give the she wolf credit as she boldly approached three alphas even with Máni suppressing their auras somewhat. She could tell Jason and especially Reed had their hackles up while William seemed almost frozen.

Did he really think this confrontation was avoidable?

She glanced at Lily noting she seemed startled but not overly anxious. In fact she actually seemed calm despite the situation she found herself in. Perhaps their chat in the spa...or...

"Mani, are you doing something?'

I don't know what you are referring to, her wolf huffed. 1 might be nudging her wolf a bit but don't you feel it?'

Phoebe turned her attention to Lily opening her mind through her wolf's senses. Though Máni was suppressing the males somewhat she was doing no such thing to Lily.

An anxious energy was surrounding her as if her wolf was pacing, trying to suppress the urge to attack.

"Máni?"

'Her wolf has been suppressed for a long time,' Máni confirmed. Nothing is more dangerous than confronting one who finally has something that is theirs' 'Should we...do something?'

Interesting that you think we could.

Lily's eyes flashed as her wolf pressed forward and she stepped away from William to meet the approaching she-wolf she had yet to formally meet. Yet she didn't panic.

Her wolf practically begged to be given control so she loosened the leash a bit. Some paragraphs are incomplete if you are not reading this novel on FindNovel.net.

What was it she said to do if Camilla dared step in front of her?

Camilla approached, looking furious, but oddly, Lily didn't sense any aura. Was her wolf not in agreement with this?

Well that didn't really matter. Lily didn't trust her courage.

She knew she would wilt under pressure even though her wolf seemed far more confident.

As soon as Camilla was in front of her she followed

Phoebe's advice slapping her across the face. Whether it was the force of the slap or simply surprise Camilla's head snapped to the side and she froze. Idle chatter ceased and all eyes not already watching the new drama unfold were certainly aware of it now. But Lily remained calm with her wolf firmly at the forefront.

"You dare approach your Luna like that?" Lily declared. "If you had any sort of dignity you'd know better."

Camilla stood with her mouth open in shock. Her face stung and her wolf was no help at all. She thought this she-wolf was a pushover. At least that was the rumor but standing in front of her was a fierce wolf quite a bit taller than herself.

"I suggest you back off...unless you want to formally challenge me," Lily said. "Well?"

Camilla hesitated before baring her neck and backing away. The others gave her a wide berth as she retreated as quickly as she entered. A few snickered at her unfortunate situation.

Lily turned her eyes, falling on William, who seemed startled and turned on at the same time. She returned to him, yanking him by the collar and kissing him firmly on the lips before saying, "If you ever look at another she-wolf again, it will be the last thing you do." "Y-yes," William said with a shiver of pleasure as her eyes slowly returned to normal and her wolf subsided.

She looked to Phoebe and mirrored her smile mouthing thank you. Phoebe gave her the barest of nods. Lily turned, heading for the door, practically dragging her mate after her. William offered no resistance.

"Something you want to share?" Jason asked giving Phoebe a squeeze.

"Yeah, I was wondering that myself," Reed agreed.

"I don't

think I've ever seen my sister act like that before."

"I might have given her a few pointers," Phoebe answered."

But you really should know better than to underestimate her. After all, she has just as much alpha blood as you."

Reed hesitated realizing the truth of her words. That was right. Lily's soft-spoken nature often made others forget the strength in her blood. Looking across the room he wasn't the only one who needed the reminder.

Jason pulled Phoebe into his arms kissing her deeply and loving how she fit against him. Her scent became spicy and he had a difficult time holding himself back. She smelled heavenly and he had been reigning himself in all night. Ever since his duel with Graham he longed to assert his claim.

She belonged to him.

He dipped his head kissing down her neck and growling with appreciation as she moaned. Her fingers fumbled with the buttons of his shirt but eventually her hands found his chest. Jason groaned.

"J-Jason," Phoebe moaned as his hands caressed her slowly freeing her from her gown and letting it pool at her feet.

"I don't know if I told you...you looked so beautiful tonight in that dress," Jason mumbled. "But you look beautiful out "of it too."

Phoebe chuckled her hands moving to his shoulders and peeling back his shirt, "You too."

Barking out a laugh he gladly shed it eager to feel her skin against his. Her scent was so much stronger now his mouth was practically watering in anticipation.

'Yes! Claim Mate! Mate is ours!'

With a possessive growl, Jason swept her off her feet, carrying her to bed and laying her down. His amber eyes were bright with lust as he stared at her yanking off his belt and shoving aside his pants. Phoebe shivered in anticipation as he hovered above her. He captured her lips in his, dominating them even as he growled again. She was his.

...Jason," Phoebe moaned, breathless, as he moved to her neck and found her mark

Fur bristled along his arms as his wolf pressed forward.

They both wanted this and hungered for it. The full moon dominated their instinct to claim what was theirs.

"Phoebe.." Jason muttered barely in control.

She seemed to know what he wanted, or perhaps it was her wolf. As their lips parted she rolled onto her stomach and rising up onto her knees. He forced her legs apart to make room as he slowly sank into her with a groan of satisfaction. They were wolves and this was the most natural position for them to mate. Had they gone on the moonlit run their wolves would have certainly indulged in their own sport?

Phoebe's hands gripped the sheets as he found his rhythm, thrusting in and out with ever-increasing force. One hand gripped her hips while the other found her c**t stimulating her from both angles. She moaned her mind a riot as her body clenched and her first orgasm consumed her all too quickly. But he wasn't finished.

He teased her letting her ride her waves of pleasure only to increase his pace. She arched her back, encouraging him, not that he needed it. "J-Jason...

"Say it," he growled low. "Say what I want to hear."

"Mmm! I'm yours."

"Again."

"I'm yours. I'm yours," Phoebe could barely breathe out the words as their flesh slapped together and he buried himself in her. Jason growled as her body clenched around him, and his control came undone, emptying his release deep within and filling her. His. She belonged to him and only him.
