“But what about his son? What do I do about him?” I asked her.
“What do you mean? There’s nothing you do about him, you’re going to have to accept the fact that he exists and try to be in his life. That is if you want to be in Chad’s life.”
“What if I don’t want to?”
“Then you’ll be the second person to break Chad’s heart and it will be for selfish reasons, just like his first mate. Only, I think you will be even worse than her because you’re going to be punishing him for her misdeeds, and over something that was out of his control.”
“I hate you sometimes,” I said to her knowing she was right. I was being unfair to Chad, but I couldn’t help how I felt. But I decided to blame it on my young age.
“I know you do, but I think you should give him a chance. If Rylee says that he’s a good guy, then I believe her, and so should you. But if you don’t want to then you should let him down easy.” My tears stopped flowing and I took a deep breath. Even though Lexie and I lived in cages growing up, I knew that life on the outside wouldn’t be as easy as we thought it would be. But this whole mate thing was a lot more complicated than either of us could have imagined.
***Rylee’s P.O.V.***
After the girls left the conference room, I looked back at Chad who looked as if he lost another mate. His eyes were heavy, and they were turning red with unshed tears.
“Chad, let me talk to her. Given everything that they had been through, I told them about mates and all the good that came out of having one, but I left out all of the complications that could potentially arise. I’m so sorry,” I said to him.
“It’s not your fault Luna,” he replied and sniffled. “I’m just not meant to have a mate. I guess the moon goddess really does hate me. First, she mates me with a self-absorbed two-timing w***e, and now she mates me with an innocent she-wolf who has a troubled past and has no idea what it’s like to be a wolf.”
“Let us talk to her first Chad,” Wyatt said to him. “She is young and she needs an explanation for a lot of this. Don’t lose hope just yet.”
“I’m trying Alpha, but I can’t help the feeling that Lanie is going to reject me, the same way Terrine did,” Chad replied and hung his head. “It’s just going to be me and Killian.”
“Chad, let’s give the Alpha and Luna a chance to salvage this. They’ve overcome worse situations than this, so I am sure they can help you,” Alpha Richard said to him. Chad nodded and let out a deep sigh.
“I’ll go and talk to her now. Please excuse me,” I told them and got up to leave. When I opened the door, I was surprised to see Brent with his fist up in the air.
“Brent? Is everything alright?” Richard asked him.
“I’m sorry Alphas, Luna, and Chad. I was going to knock, but the Luna had already opened the door,” he replied.
“It’s fine, what can we do for you?” I asked him.
“I think something is wrong with me.” We all looked at him and gave him funny looks. “I … uh … I ran into two blonde girls, and one of them looked upset. The other one that was consoling her gave me this weird feeling, and I think my heart is about to jump out of my chest and I feel like I can’t breathe.” My mouth dropped.
“No way…” I said and looked back at Wyatt. “It can’t be.”
“Luna? Is everything okay? What’s wrong with me?” Brent asked.
“Brent, son, I think you may have just found your mate,” Richard said to him. “And she just happens to be the twin sister to Chad’s second chance mate.”
Could this situation get any more complicated? .
***Brent’s P.O.V.***
When Richard told me that I ran into my mate in the hallway, I thought he was pulling my leg. It wouldn’t be the first time I was attracted to a girl who was supernatural considering that is how my stupid a*s was kidnapped last year. Once I saw the reaction of Wyatt and his Luna, I knew that Richard wasn’t f*****g with me.
“If she’s my mate, why didn’t she react to me when we crossed paths?” I asked no one in particular. “It’s possible she was too preoccupied with helping her sister that she didn’t sense it. It’s not that uncommon for mates to be distracted when they meet their mate,” Richard replied to me. “It’s true, the same thing happened when I met Wyatt,” the Luna confirmed.
“Okay, but now I want to know what had my mate so distracted that she didn’t notice me even though we literally collided with one another,” I told them.
“It’s my fault,” Chad answered. “My mate is her sister, and she saw the tattoo of Killian’s name on my wrist.”
“Oh… f**k …” was all I could say.
“Yeah. I mean, I accepted the fact that I became a father at 20, but Lanie didn’t sign up to play step-mom to Killian. You can probably guess how she felt once we told her everything.”
“Her name is Lanie?” I asked Chad, and he nodded. “What about my mate?”
“Her name is Lexie,” the Luna replied. “Now gentlemen, if you will excuse me, I need to go speak with them,” she said and left the office.
“Why do I get the feeling that there is more to this than what I was just told?” I turned and asked Chad.
“Because there is,” Alpha Wyatt replied. He spent the next 30 minutes explaining to me what happened with Lexie and Lanie and the life they were rescued from. Hearing all of the horrible things they endured while growing up and how they were found by the Blue Lake pack had my wolf Chaos and Chad’s wolf Havoc seriously about to wreak chaos and havoc. What I went through was horrible enough, but hearing that Lexie was physically tortured and then sold for profit along with her sister had my blood literally boiling. “How the f**k!?!” I shouted, slamming my fists on the table.
“Calm down Brent,” Richard said to me.
“CALM DOWN? HOW THE f**k AM I SUPPOSED TO CALM DOWN, SIR? MY MATE! THE ONE MADE FOR ME WAS TREATED LIKE A f*****g ANIMAL SINCE THE DAY SHE WAS BORN!” I screamed at him as I felt myself beginning to lose control. Havoc was pushing his way through and he was scarier than a pissed off rhino when angry.
“I’m not even going to pretend to know what you’re feeling, but we are guests here and we need to be respectful to pack members and their property.” He looked down at the table and I followed his gaze. I finally noticed I cracked the table earlier. “s**t, I’m sorry, Wyatt.”
“It’s fine. I think it’s time someone other than myself broke it for once,” he replied with a smirk. I nodded my head and sat back down. “Chad, Brent, don’t lose hope just yet. Lexie and Lanie are young, and their lives were hard growing up.” “That’s an understatement,” I blurted out, only to receive a warning glare from Alpha Richard. “Apologies sir,” I immediately replied.
“Give Rylee a chance to speak to them on your behalf. She can be quite convincing, and she can relate to them more than you know,” Wyatt continued. Chad and I both nodded our heads. After we all sat around in silence for a brief moment, Richard finally spoke up. “Wyatt, there is something that I have been meaning to tell you, and I think now would be the best time.”
“What is it, Richard?”
“I will be stepping down after this year’s Alpha’s meeting and naming my successor.”
“Wouldn’t that be your Beta?” Wyatt asked. Chad and I looked at each other completely stunned.
“Sir, you never mentioned anything about stepping down,” Chad said to him and all I did was nod.
