His Second Chance

Chapter One (Skylar's P.O.V.)

I need to run. I need to get away from my pack, the Red Moon pack. We were attacked by the Dark Night pack. I was trying to get away. Before I could shift into my wolf, a large hand gripped my shoulder. "You going somewhere beautiful?" A nasty voice said in my ear. He whipped me around. The aura coming from him told me he was a betta. "Come with me." He said, turning on his heel and taking a few steps. Once he saw that I wasn't following him, he turned back around, grabbed me by the shirt, and started to drag me.

"Let go of me!" I shout, struggling. That seemed to only make his grip on me harder. "Get your hands off me!" I yelled even louder. He threw me into a large police like car and drove off. I knew better than to ask where we were going. Probably to their jail house at the pack. About thirty minutes later, the car stopped. He pulled me out and held me in his arms. I kicked and screamed to be let down but he wouldn't let me. We stayed like that for almost a minute and a large, handsome figure stepped outside. As he came towards, an incredible scent filled the air. It was a mixture of pine and nutmeg. Mate.

He growled. "Mate!" He said, making me almost blush. The betta let me down. "Come here." He demanded, hoping I would realize he was talking to me. I hesitantly stepped towards him. "We found this one trying to run away Alpha. She wouldn't cooperate, so I thought it would be best to take her to you." He spoke, the way a betta should to his alpha. "Thank you, Dylan. You may leave now." So the betta's name is Dylan. I thought in my head. "Where is he?" He yelled at me. My wolf whined.

"Where is who?" I said, sad and scared. My wolf wanting to fall at his heels.

"Lukus Fillmore!" He yelled. I could tell immediately after that he didn't enjoy yelling at me.

That name... sounds familiar. I searched my mind for that name. I thought about someone in my pack named Lukus. That's it! Lukus used to be in my pack a few years ago then left, saying how he found his mate. "He was leaving my pack's territory when I saw him last. That was three years ago. I would love to help you, but I can't." I said, trying to sound confident.

I turned to leave. I could hear a small whimper behind me. It wasn't like I was going home, I couldn't even if I wanted to. I was forced here against my will. "Please don't go." He said. Well, actually it was his wolf. I could tell because it was his voice, but more wolf like. If that makes any sense.

"Why should I want to stay?" I answered jokingly. He obviously didn't understand so I let him beg for me to stay, I said sure. "I never got your name," He responded, his voice small. I walked towards him, a small smile on my face.

"Skylar Reed," I answered in a bored tone.

"That's a beautiful name, perfect for someone as beautiful as you," he muttered in response, hoping I wouldn't hear. He realized I had heard when my cheeks turned a light red.

"Your name?" I asked, my face returning to normal.

"Ashton Porters, Alpha of the Dark Moon Pack." He stated in a weird voice. "Come inside, I'm sorry for how my betta treated you." He said. He touched my hand and sparks flew up inside me. I went to hold his hand but he pulled away. Willow whined, almost making me whine too. He just stared at me, eyes wide. He turned to go inside and I followed.

Inside a girl was looking at me with confusion. "Skylar, this is Caroline, my twin sister. Caroline, this is Skylar, my mate." He stated, turning back and forth between us two as he introduced us to each other. I nodded and waved. She had a frown on her face. After a bit, she smiled."Why don't you show Skylar here to a guest room Care," He told his sister.

She led me through the many halls and into a room. "Why can't we just stay with mate?" Willow said. I rolled my eyes at her comment, Caroline didn't see though. The whole time we were silent.

"So, um this is your room for now. So you're my big bro's mate huh? You picked a great time to come along I see." She said the last sentence in a sarcastic tone.

"Uh, what do you mean I picked a great time to come?" I responded. She sighed, then sat on the bed.

"Ash has been going a bit, you know, insane. Two years ago my mate rejected me. He was determined to find him. He didn't obviously, and recently he has been searching so much that he started attacking innocent packs to find him. I told him to stop bt he doesn't listen."

I didn't know what to say to that. I felt really bad. I sat down on the bed next to Caroline. "I'm really sorry." I finally manage to say. I had a huge lump in my throat.

"It's okay," She said back. "I'm just hoping that you can talk some sense into that man, being his mate and all."

"Yeah," I said. "maybe I can." We talked about life in this pack and how I got here. Somehow our conversation ended about the metamorphosis of a butterfly. Then all of a sudden Ashton came into the room, looking relieved to see Caroline and I both in one piece.

"Hey, big bro." Said Caroline. "We were just talking about stuff."

"Hey, Care. Hey, Skylar. I just came to see what you two were up to, and make sure you weren't killing each other." Ashton said. I bit my lip to keep from laughing. "How's it going? Sorry for yelling at you earlier." He said.

"It's okay," I said, although my wolf was pretty upset.

"Are you attached to sleeping in here tonight, or are you up for a change of location?" He asked, implying for me to stay in his room with him. I didn't really know, so I looked at Caroline for an answer.

"Uh, here is fine for now, thank you." I gave him a small smile. Although my wolf was a bit mad at my decision, I felt more comfortable sleeping in my 'own' room. I was planning on going back to my pack, even though I knew Ashton would be distraught if I did. To be honest, so would I. I mean, I found my mate, my soulmate. Plus, my pack might even be destroyed.

"Well, I better get going. I guess I'll see you tomorrow Skylar. Good night." He said. I couldn't tell if it was him or his wolf speaking. I didn't even get to say goodnight before he walked out of the room. His scent fading. Soon after, Caroline left too, leaving me in the empty room to fall asleep.
