***Kelsey’s P.O.V.***
When the gorgeous man walked away, I was almost saddened by it. My wolf, Summer started to whimper in my head,
What are you doing?
Bring our mate back
What? Mate?
That was our mate.
Wait, are you saying that we have a mate. Like a destined mate? Like what the Alpha just got done explaining?
Yes!! He’s yummy.
I couldn’t deny that Summer was right. Darius, as I heard his name being said was definitely yummy.
“Kelsey, Lisa, and Natalie, we need you three to come with us,” the Alpha said to us. We all nodded and we followed him back to the conference room.
“Oh my god, my wolf Heidi is going absolutely bonkers over that Hugo guy,” Lisa said fanning herself.
“You too?!” Natalie asked. “My wolf Carly is practically doing the zoomies in my head. She’s giving me a f*****g headache!” I guess my wolf wasn’t the only one who was excited about their mate. When we got into the conference room, all of the guys were pacing and stopped mid-step when we entered. They tried to come to us, but the Alpha and Luna stepped in their way.
“Nah-uh!” the Luna said. All three of them growled at her, but the Alpha growled right back making all three of them bow their heads.
“Sit,” he commanded them and all three sat in the nearby chairs.
“Girls, will you sit across from them on the other side of the table please,” the Luna asked, and we did. We sat across from our respective mates, and just the gaze I was getting from Darius was making my insides tighten and my core started to burn with need. What the f**k was happening to me? I don’t think a guy has ever made me this horny with just a look. I could literally feel the leakage between my thighs.
I watched as Darius took a deep breath and closed his eyes. When they opened, they were pools of obsidian black and he smirked. Oh god, could he smell that I was aroused?
“Okay, well this happened a lot quicker than I thought,” the Alpha said taking me out of my trance. I looked over at him at the head of the table but could see that Nat and Lisa were also staring at their mates. And their mates had the same black eyes as Darius. “WILL YOU THREE QUIT EYE-F*****G YOUR MATES!” the Alpha roared getting all of our attention.
“Wyatt, calm down, you know that it’s hard to fight the bond,” the Luna said putting her hand on his arm.
“Hugo, Maddox, and Darius, you three need to get your hormones in check. The matter at hand is very delicate,”
“I don’t understand, Alpha. These three beautiful specimens before us are our mates, what’s complicated about that?” the one across from Lisa said. I think his name was Hugo.
“It’s complicated because all of three of these girls are part of the group of newborns that Wyatt, Kendrick, and Angelo brought back earlier today,” the Luna explained. All three of the guys’ eyes widened and they looked back at us.
“Is that true?” Darius asked me and I nodded.
“Darius, this is going to be even more complicated for you, given your recent situation,” the Alpha said to him.
“I understand Alpha,” I was confused when the Alpha said that. The hurt that I saw flash across Darius’ face was really telling.
“Girls, as you can see, when mates find each other, this is typically what happens,” the Luna says, and we all look at her. “Most if not all male wolves are highly possessive, and when they find their mate, it’s game over for them. Even though you three are newborns, you should be able to feel the mate bond. It’s a feeling that pulls you towards your mate. His scent, his physical features, his voice, everything about him should make you, for lack of a better word, horny,”
“Luna, is it normal for my wolf to want to claw her way out of my body to get to him?” Lisa asked.
“Yes, it’s very normal. I’m sure Hugo’s wolf is trying to do the same thing. Hence why he’s gripping the armrests of the chair so tight,”
“Oh okay. I just want to make sure I’m not going crazy,”
“Lisa and Natalie, remembering what Wyatt and the rest of us told you earlier about mates, how do you want to proceed?” the Luna asked. I was confused as to why she didn’t address me in that question. “Alpha, you said that once mates find each other, that we’re destined to be together for all time right?” Natalie asked.
“That’s right,” he replied.
“So, Maddox and I are destined mates?”
“You are,”
“HAVE MERCY!! Him!? That sexy god-like man in front of me is my mate!? Like, I get to have him all to myself!?” she shouted with a huge smile on her face.
“If that’s what you two choose, yes,” the Alpha answered.
“Well, I guess we already know what Natalie wants,” the Luna said. “Maddox? What do you want?”
“Luna, with all due respect, but what kind of stupid question is that? Did you not see me practically f**k her in the hallway?” he asked, and Natalie blushed. “Maddox, you’re relieved of your duties for the rest of the day. Take Natalie to your cottage and explain to her how everything works,” the Alpha said.
“Yes, Alpha,” he replied and looked at Natalie. “Natalie, my mate, will you please come with me?” Maddox asked softly.
“I’ll go anywhere with you,” she replied and shot out of her chair. Everyone’s attention was now on Lisa and Hugo. The Alpha and Luna went through the same spiel with them, and luckily, Lisa and Hugo were both on the same page as well, so they too left to get to know one another. That left me and Darius, and I could see a look of confliction on his face. “Kelsey, I’m sure your wondering why we sent Lisa and Natalie out first,” the Luna said to me and I nodded. “The reason why is because of recent events that directly affected Darius, and will also directly affect you,”
“I don’t understand,” I replied.
“Kelsey, remember what I said about second chance mates?” the Alpha asked, and I nodded. He looked between Darius and me without saying anything.
“Wait, are you saying that I’m Darius’ second chance?” the Alpha and Luna nodded. “What happened to your first mate?” I asked Darius. He closed his eyes and just hung his head.
“Kelsey, it’s a long story, but given that you’re his second chance mate, you have the right to know everything,” the Luna said. I just c****d my head and I watched as she took out a card from her pocket. She ripped in half, and a few seconds later, a man and woman appeared in the room making me jump out of my seat.
