“Again! Again!” Sam shouted.
“Samson Valencia, so help me moon goddess, if you don’t stand still, I’m going to feed you broccoli for dinner,” I threatened.
“No! Yucky!”
“Then sit still so I can put your clothes on!” I yelled making him pout. “Don’t give me that mister,” I said not falling for it. Raymond helped me keep him still so I could his diaper and pajamas on him. As we were doing that, the front door opened. “Mom, dad?” Chad called out.
“In here sweetie,” Angeline called back.
“What’s going on?” he asked when he saw that we were practically strapping Sam down.
“Oh, you know, young boys being young boys,” she replied and kissed him on the cheek.
“Rylee, are you good?” I heard Lanie.
“I’m good,” I replied when I finally got Sam’s pajamas on. He took off running, but instead of running around the house, he ran straight to Lanie.
“Hi, Sam,” she said as she picked him up. “Are you giving your mommy a hard time again?”
“Noooo…” Sam answered innocently.
“What!? I just spent the last ten minutes chasing you around this house!” I shouted from where I was sitting on my knees. Everyone laughed. “Where’s Killian?” Chad asked.
“Never mind Killian, son. You told us that you explain who this young lady is, and why she’s here with the Luna of Blue Lake,” Raymond said to him.
“And I will dad, but how about when the Alpha returns. I think it would be best if Richard explained everything.”
“Rylee, have you seen Lexie? She’s been gone awhile?” Lanie asked sounding a bit worried.
“She’ll be fine. She’s with Brent. Nothing is going to happen to her as long as he is with her,” I answered.
“But…” I just shook my head at her. “Lanie, she will be fine.” I reiterated and Lanie gave up.
“Daddy!” came a sweet voice. Out came Killian from his room and ran straight for Chad. “Oh, hey there buddy. Were you a good boy for Grandma and Grandpa?”
“Yeah! Gamma made cookies!”
“Oh, she did. Where’s my cookie?”
“All gone!”
“Geez, thanks,” Chad retorted at Killian.
“Daddy down! I play!”
“Okay, buddy, but first, I need to introduce you to someone,” Chad said and turned to face Lanie with Sam in her arms.
“Sam!”
“No, son. Not Sam. I want you to meet Lanie.” Killian paused when he looked at Lanie, and so did the rest of the room. It was kind of obvious to Raymond and Angeline who Lanie was at this point, and Killian couldn’t seem to make heads or tails of the situation at hand. But, he was only two, so it made sense. After an agonizing minute of silence, Killian smiled brightly.
“Hi! My name Kian!”
“Hi, Killian, my name is Lanie. I’m … A friend of Rylee’s,” Lanie answered. I heard the intake of breaths from Angeline and Raymond, and they knew that things weren’t as simple as they seemed. “Chad, is there something you need to tell us?” Angeline asked.
“Mom, I said when …”
“No. Now.” Lanie gently put Sam on the ground, and Chad did the same with Killian. I took both boys by the hands and kept them close to me. Something told me that this was going to get a little ugly.

P.O.V.***
“SHE’S YOUR WHAT!?!” both of my parents screamed at the top of their lungs. After practically being cornered by them, I decided that I couldn’t wait for Richard to arrive home to explain things. I took my parents into my father’s study and closed the door to speak to them in private. The last thing I wanted was to put Lanie on the spot with them, things with her were already complicated enough. I didn’t need to add my parents interrogating her on top of everything else. “She’s my second chance,” I repeated to them.
“Hold on, hold on, hold on,” my dad said, waving his hands in the air at me. “Second chance? As in a second chance mate?”
“For the millionth time, yes!” I exclaimed. “Second chances aren’t abnormal, why are you two freaking out over this?”
“Sweetheart, you had a son with your first mate who rejected you via a handwritten note in a shady hotel. It’s been over two years since that happened, finding a second chance so long after your first rarely happens, if ever. That’s why people take a chosen mate,” my mother explained.
“I know that mom, but she is. I know she is. I felt it the moment I laid my eyes on her. It felt like my heart was going to jump out of my chest at her beauty, and Havoc was going nuts when she walked into Alpha Wyatt’s office at Blue Lake.”
“Chad, son, I don’t understand. If she’s your second, why does it seem like she’s rejecting your bond with her?” my father asked.
“She’s not,” I answered and paused a moment. “She’s … she doesn’t know how to handle the fact that I have a son already. She didn’t have a normal childhood and only recently found out about mates from Luna Rylee.”
“What do you mean, she didn’t have a normal childhood?” my mother asked cautiously.
“This is why I wanted to wait until Richard came back.”
“Son, what is it? Is there something wrong with her? Is she ill?”
