His second Chance (ON HOLD)

Chapter 18

After Filia gave me control, Alexander left. He literally looked at me and left. No explanation. And that definitely worried me.

That was a week ago and he hasn't talked to me since. Did I do something wrong? Did he want Filia but not me?

'Will you stop fucking thinking so hard?!' Filia growls. I roll my eyes at her outburst. 'Fucking hell- It's Alexander this and Alexander this like... Bitch think of something else. I beg of you .' I growl at the use of bitch in that sentence and she growls back.

'Play nice you two.' Jess scolds us, probably thinking we're children. 'Do not let a measly boy get you distracted my dear. You have your duties as a mate, yes, but also as Luna. Being Luna comes with great responsibility and learning to... Respect our pack. Treat them as you wish to be treated. Show them they can trust you. Show them that you'll be there for them, no matter what it is.'

'Except for murder. If they tell us they murdered someone... Well I didn't see a damn thing.'

'Excuse me bitch I was talking.' Filia smirks knowing she can get that anger out of Jess. 'Now as I was saying.'

'When you earn their trust, they will start recognizing you as their luna. Being Luna means confiding in the pack. You know telling them stuff if they ask. Such as how patrol is doing. Just don't tell them stuff like finding bodies.'

'She's basically saying earn their respect and lie to their faces.'

'So satan help me I will send you back to hell myself . That isn't what I'm saying. Gain their trust. Only then with they start believing you'll protect them.'

'I fucking died for them- Is that not convincing enough?!' I mean she has a point.

'Filia Morningstar I will make sure you cease to exist you fucking devil spawn. I'll call a fucking exorcist and make sure you-'

Not wanting to hear their arguing, I block out their voices and sigh. Children. The lot of you.

The sound of a door slamming and giggling breaks me out of my trance. Without realizing, my legs start walking towards it. The smell of my mate gets more intoxicating. It can't be Alexander can it?

I mean... He wouldn't do that to me again. No that can't be him... He wouldn't do that to me... Would he?

Everything freezes when I see Alexander drunkenly smiling down at a girl I've never seen. My eyes trail down to his neck, my heart aching when it's invaded with red and purple hickey's.

And to think you changed.

Alexander looks up at me with a wide smile and glowing eyes. "Hi baby!" He slurs.

...Hi baby? Did he just say "hi baby"? He just fucking hi babied me!

"Um... Hi." I respond, despite the breakdown happening inside my head. "What's going on?"

"Oh shit right! This is Natalia! She's..." He looks down at her with furrowed eyebrows. "What are you again?"

She doesn't take her arm off his waist when she looks at me. "I'm his rogue friend." My eyes widen slightly as I look at him, ignoring the fact that she just looked me up and down.

"Rogue? Alexander you hate rogues." I whisper.

"I don't hate them baby. I don't particularly like them and hope they all fall off the face of the earth but I don't hate them." That makes no sense but Okay.

"So she's your mate?" She asks. Alexander nods slowly with a small proud smile that makes my heart flutter. "You're right. She is beautiful."

My eyes snap to hers and I take my opportunity to study her. She has ginger hair and blue eyes that compliment her hour glass shaped body. Her lips are full and pink... I can tell she has no makeup on, slightly jealous that she looks that good naturally. I'd say she's about 5'5.

Thanks a fucking lot universe. We have Aphrodite standing by my mate and I'm just a fucking rock. An ugly... Rock.

All thoughts go away when I notice she's standing in front of me now. She notices my shocked expression and smiles, not hiding the fact that she's ogling my breasts. Alexander watches the entire thing with a small frown.

"Xander what's going on?" I whisper when she trails her hand up my side. My body slightly tenses at the sudden touch.

"I don't know... I think she fancies you. But that's not right. You're my mate I shouldn't be letting you..." His words die down when Natalia steps closer to me.

"Alexander told me he hated the fact that you caught him cheating. It hurt him. So he's asked for my help." She explains.

"Help?"

"Mhm... Make him hurt just as much as it hurt you." All of a sudden I feel the sudden need to kiss her. But no... That can't happen.

So why am I leaning closer to her?

"Valerie?" Alexander growls in warning. Look who's sober.

"Why is she here?" I ask, staring at her. "Did you want to fuck her?"

"That's not why she's here. I have no idea why she's-" I'm even more confused when I feel a light kiss on my bare shoulder. What the fuck? "Nat get off of her."

"Why?" She asks. "You bought me here to fuck her right? You wanted to feel how she felt when she saw you with that bitch. I can help with that. All it takes is one word and I'll make sure you scream in pain."

His jaw clenches and unclenches in anger. Why would he do that? Why isnt he stopping her? Why am I attracted to her?

Don't get me wrong I could care less if it was Male or female or trans. My pansexuality is something that many people know about. In fact my sister found out before anyone else. She caught me and my ex girlfriend making out in my bedroom.

Of course she didn't care and told me she was bi. I was fucking relieved to hear that. But also shocked when she told me she was in a polyamorous relationship with her mate and a girl. Of course the girl broke it off when she found her mate. I believe I was 15 at the time.

"Fine." He finally answers. "Do whatever you want."

That's all the confirmation she needs before her lips meet mine.
