Second Glance at a Second Chance

Chapter 2

Zoey's POV

"I smell our mate Zoozoo! Let's go grab him and ask him where we went!" I chuckle at Lila, shaking my head. Our mate was Beta Richard and we had been secretly together for a couple days now. We haven't marked one another yet but last night we were together, if you know what I mean. It was incredible and it felt so right too, but when I woke up this morning he was gone. Lila wasn't too happy about it and has been hounding me to look all over the pack lands looking for him. The Position house was the only placed we had yet to look until now and it seems like we found him.
Smiling and waving politely to the guards I went in, following his scent to the housing quarters. I guess he wanted to shower in his own bathroom or something.
"We should sneak into his room and wait so we can surprise him" I could almost see Lila wagging her tail in my mind. I smiled loving her evil plan, I continued to follow his scent to what I thought was his room until I stood right outside the door. With a smile on my face I went to open it when i noticed a strange noise coming from the other side. It sounded like.... moans of pleasure but that can't be. Can it?

I slowly and quietly opened the door and my heart shattered at what I saw. Richard was naked and with Alpha Trish.
"Oh Richard, oh yeah baby pump that- OH GOD YES!" Alpha Trish moaned and clutched at the bed sheets underneath her as Richard, MY Richard groaned in pleasure and finished. I quickly and quietly left before they noticed me. My eyes were stinging as I held back the floodgates. The guards tried to ask what was wrong as i made my way out but I just told some silly excuse and asked them to forget i was here. I wanted- no i needed to get away from here and clear my head. Once i was sure i could handle it i was going to confront Richard about what I saw. I'm scared of what he's going to say, of what he might do. But mostly i'm hurting and needing my friends Ice Cream and Soda.

-3 Hours Later-
My room is a mess. There's ice cream containers and soda bottles layered everywhere with boxes upon empty boxes of tissues. No matter how much I try to drown the images out of my mind and the ache out of my heart it just grows stronger. My mom has tried to check up on me, asking what's wrong but I say nothing. My older brother Nick tried talking to me too but he and Richard are best friends. No matter how much i hurt i couldn't ruin Nicks longest friendship. I look at my phone and see a few messages from Richard

R: Hey baby last night was fun. I'm so lucky to have such a gorgeous woman as my mate. Wanna go on a date later? I know this great place in the neutral grounds where no one will see. -5:00

I sighed and typed out a short reply, my hands shaking as i did

Z: Sorry, my phone was on and off in my pocket. I would love to go on the date with you. I have something i want to say in private ;) -5:50

I laid back against my headboard, looking up at the ceiling. My phone buzzed in my hand and I looked down.

R: Great! I can't wait to see you and hear what you have to say. Who knows maybe i'll have my own little surprise for you. Love you and see you soon -5:52

Biting my lip i put my phone down and took a big gulp of my Dr.Pepper. Knowing Richard he won't come to pick me up until late in the night to avoid being seen so i have a few hours to get ready for this fight.
I'm scared, my nerves are frayed and my heart is hurting at what might happen in the night to come. If the worst comes to pass i don't think I'd be able to stay.

I'd have to leave the pack, but what about mom and my brother? They'd be hurt that i ran away and they wouldn't know the reason. Honestly though it would probably be better that way.

I glanced at the clock to see that it was 6, i had about an hour to an hour and a half till Richard came. I think I'm going to take a nap, Lila and I need to rest up. I cleared way the mess on my bed, set an alarm and slipped under the covers. I closed my eyes and promptly fell asleep.
