Second Chance | Lee Felix

Chapter 8

Hello little beans! I hope you guys are enjoying my story so far. I wanted to get a few chapters out the past couple of days, but I've been so sick that it's ridiculous. I figured since this chapter was already edited and proofread, I could at least put this one out. I'm feeling much better today, though, so that's good!

I don't want to say 'expect more chapters', but since I'm feeling somewhat better, I can try to proofread more of the other ones I have ready and get those out soon. Maybe I can get another chapter out tomorrow along with the scheduled chapter for Blush. We'll have to see 😊

Anyways, enjoy~ 🥰

"W-where do you want me to start?" I asked carefully. I didn't want to open a conversation with 'hey, you're my second chance mate, but I'm scared you'll be like my first mate'.. that's not something someone wants to hear.

What if he doesn't like the fact that he is my second chance mate? What will I do then?

"Hmm, how about what brought you to Seoul?"

I looked at the alpha with a frown decorating my face and sighed. "I'm trying to get away from someone.." I hesitantly spoke.

That caught his attention. He looked at me with wide eyes, and the noodles he was slurping slipped out from his lips in shock. He cleared his throat, "Are you okay? What happened?" He asked quickly.

I sighed again, "It'll be easier if I start from the beginning.." I began telling him about finding my fated mate and what transpired between us, me rejecting my ex-mate, and how I got to Seoul. When I finished talking, I looked at the shocked alpha.

"So.. you're afraid I'll be like him? Is that why you cried when you found out that we were mated?" I nodded my head, too nervous to verbally answer. "Oh, Felix.." The alpha trailed off. He grabbed my hand from across the table. "I'm sorry for everything you've gone through, and I want you to know that you can trust me. I would never hurt you intentionally. I hope you'll see that with time, I will love you with all my heart and spoil you so much that you will be sick of me. That is, if you'll let me." He squeezed my hand for reassurance, and I couldn't speak.

How do you respond to that?!

I need physical reassurance. Would it be okay if I asked for a hug? Would he think that is weird? Too early?

Fuck it. I need the damn hug..

I get up from my chair and walk around the table. Hyunjin definitely looks confused and unsure of what I'm doing. I look at the alpha, "Can.. can I have a hug?"

Hyunjin blinked and then smiled. "Of course, baby." He opened his arms, and I had the sudden urge to climb into his lap...

So I did.

I leaned into his chest and purred, my hands going to grasp his shirt to steady myself. If the alpha wasn't shocked before, he sure is now. I felt his arms wrapping around my body protectively, and he kissed my head.

Taylor never let me do this..

I could stay here forever if Hyunjin would let me. I smiled at that thought.

My nose found the smell of marshmallows and coconut again. Was that a kind of cologne he used or something because you mix that with his dark chocolate, and it smells almost like an exotic s'mores. I enjoyed that thought, so I purred a little bit louder. Making sure Hyunjin could hear.

And for once, I finally felt safe.

Not that I didn't feel safe with my parents, but this.. this is a different kind of safe.
