He could smell Logan with food coming.
Rushing through his wash, he scented the air occasionally for both Abby and Logan.
The Oracle was still looking out the window when he got out of the bathroom.
He pulled on a pair of cotton lounge pants and a tank top, and sniffed the air to make sure everything was okay.
His wolf was starting to calm down.
He took a deep breath and released it.
Thank you, Oracle.
She turned to him and smiled, her eyes glowing.
Youre an excellent mate, Roman, and Im proud of you.
Be gentle, and stay close to her.
You must remain together now.
He felt his chest tighten.
Will she want me? Roman, has she not been reaching for you? Yes… Then you have your answer.
Is it time to mark her yet? Soon.
LOGAN Logan was pacing the open reception area when the Oracle slipped out of Romans hospital room.
For such a frail-looking old wolf, she moved like a shadow.
She nodded to him.
Hes fine, Beta.
But hes feeling extraordinarily protective of her, and we need to respect that.
Logan frowned.
But…is she still dying? The Moon Goddess wouldnt give him another mate just to turn around and take her from him, would she? The Moon Goddess is to be trusted.
Are they really second-chance mates? Yes.
With that, the Oracle turned and walked away.
Logan sighed.
Sometimes he wished shed be more forthcoming.
His wolf caught the scent of his mate, and Logan lifted his head and rumbled.
Her scent was getting stronger.
He burst through the double doors once again, and there she was.
His beautiful mate.
Walking down the path to the hospital, carrying a basket.
It was the first time shed been out in so many moons that hed forgotten the cycles.
Her eyes lit up when she saw him, and he started to purr.
I thought you and the alpha might be hungry.
She handed him the basket, which was giving off delicious smells.
We had a pretty good argument.
He showed her the bite marks and scratches on his arms and chest.
They were almost healed.
Is the alpha okay? Yes.
Cranky, but fine.
I cant wait to meet the graced luna.
Shes…different.
Youll see what I mean soon.
But Im not sure I want you near the room right now.
Hes very protective and damn near hurt the doctor.
Thanks for the food, and the alpha thanks you as well.
His eyes ran over her, then flashed in appreciation of her tight jeans.
You look good, Mara.
Thank you, Beta.
She smiled and flashed her violet eyes back at him.
He grabbed her, and she giggled as he stuck his nose behind her ear and nipped her jaw.
He swatted her on the ass, then watched her walk back the way she came.
His wolf purred.
His mate washappy .
It had been a long time since hed felt that emotion from her.
*** He heard the alpha growling as he approached the door.
Alpha, its Logan.
Opening the door slowly, he was met with a pair of gold, glowing eyes.
Roman was sitting in a chair, blocking the view of Abby with his gigantic frame.
Logan had to bite down on his lip to keep from grinning.
Then the powerful pulses coming from his leader forced him to bow his head.
Your wounds, Logan? Healed, Alpha.
And yours? Fine.
Hungry? Yes.
But when Logan started to move forward, Roman rumbled a warning.
He wasnt sure what to do.
He understood wanting to protect a mate, especially a newly recognized one.
But this was another level.
Did it have to do with his mate dying? Or was it because she was graced? Do you want me to stay or go? I want you to stay.
My wolf wants you to go.
Lets appease the wolf.
He set the basket down and slid it toward Roman with his foot.
It will help.
Link me if you need me, Alpha.
Ill be at home eating with Mara.
Closing the door softly, Logan left Roman alone with his second-chance mate.
ROMAN When Logan left, Roman felt his wolf relax and let him take over again.
He was starving and ate everything in the basket.
When he was finished, Abby nudged him harder through the link, and he scrambled to get his clothes off and into bed.
He pulled her closer and started to purr.
There was a much stronger warmth coming from Abby now.
Her purr was steady, and he could sense her wolf starting to recover.
*** He woke up to Abby stirring.
A burst of warm sunshine filled him, and he felt his chest expand involuntarily.
He felt different.
Bigger and more powerful.
His wolf was stronger, and all of his senses were heightened.
ABIGAIL Stretching her arms over her head, Abby felt a warm, comforting pressure against her back.
The alpha was still with her.
She took in several deep breaths, inhaling the raw male power in the air.
She also smelled something citrusy…and grass? She wondered where it was coming from.
She rolled onto her back, and when she opened her eyes, the alpha was staring down at her.
ROMAN Romans wolf surged when he realized he was smelling his mate.
A purr rumbled from his chest.
You smell of autumn rain and sun-warmed cotton, he whispered, gazing down at her beautiful face.
You smell of male power, lemons, and grass, she whispered back.
How do you feel? Confused, but okay.
She gave him a small smile.
I have a lot of questions.
His wolf agreed.
