My Second Chance novel Chapter 26

Sapphire's P.O.V

I pretended to be asleep as my mates scent enveloped me.

"You aren't asleep kitten." He stated before crawling into the space beside me, wrapping his strong arms around me. I internally groaned. Great, just great.

I made no response and kept my eyes shut. "Hey, you aren't asleep." He poked the upper of my arm. "I'm going to." I mumbled. "Okay. But it doesn't change that I want to annoy you." He chuckled. "Well, it's working." I muttered. "So... What did you and my mother talk about?" He asked questionly. I felt my muscles tense up at the topic. "It's nothing. Go to sleep, okay?" I said, forcing my tensed body to relax and snuggling into his chest, relishing the comfort it provided.

"I don't want to sleep." He grumbled. "Why?" I asked, turning around to face him. "How can I sleep when I have such a gorgeous girl beside me?" He grinned and kissed me hungrily. Awww, Gwen cooed and I internally swooned. But I knew that I would let something about me and Georgia slip if I wavered. So instead, I snorted. "I'm not beautiful." I scoffed. Ryder widened his eyes as if my comment was faker than a plastic Barbie. Yes, I just used a Barbie to describe the moment, deal with it. P.S. to all those Barbie lovers out there, no offense. "You gotta go get glasses or something." He muttered. "Flattery will get you nowhere. Now sleep, I'll make you breakfast tomorrow." I smiled sweetly. "Come on, just a little make out session?" He had his grey puppy eyes on.

"Fine." I sat up and straddled him. He had a devilish grin on his face. I mean, who can say no to those beautiful eyes?

Sure, that's the reason you agreed, Gwen snorted. Yeah, it's not like you actually internally wanted it or something. It's not like I can read your mind and know how you feel...Gwen drawled. No... I had no choice, I argued. But a little part of my brain said in a pitched and high voice, well... Shut up, brain, I snapped mentally.

After a 15 minute hot and heavy make out session, I was lying on the bed panting. "Gods you taste amazing." He smirked. I let out a little laugh. "We can do it tomorrow again right?" He asked hopefully. "Maybe." I teased. "Oh come on." He groaned. "Okay, fine. Just go to sleep. And mind you, no drawing on my face again." I gave him a warning glance. "Okay." He kissed me lightly and I snuggled into his chest once more.2

In a few minutes, he dozed off and snored lightly. I thought back at Georgia and I's conversation.

"This room is soundproof so we can talk without been heard." Georgia stated as she pushed two wooden doors open, revealing a large room, almost as large as my mate's office. I knew that this was the room where meetings were usually held as I stepped in. It had a heavy and solemn atmosphere. It just made me more panicked and scared. I forced myself to breath in and out, successfully calming myself.

Georgia walked to a picture and lifted it, revealing a safe behind it and did the combination. I let my guard down and watched curiously. She took a small leather pouch out and undid the strings. She pulled out something gold and I shrieked in alarm. Drew snarled at the sight of the weapon.

In her hand, she held a gold dagger. It had ancient writing on it's blade. I knew what it was once my eyes landed on it.

The legendary dagger...

"How do you have it? There's only one in the whole world." I gasped, taking a step back. She ignored the question and instead eyed me. "You are a demon, aren't you?" She asked calmly. I took another step backwards. You are probably confused why I'm scared. After all, I'm a demon.

The only thing that can seriously hurt a demon, gold. It takes longer to heal and gold burns against our skin, just like silver does on a werewolf. But the dagger Georgia was holding, it rips demon souls out of their bodies very slowly and painfully. It doesn't matter if I'm half werewolf, once that thing pricks through my skin, I'm as good as dead. A light scratch would hurt, but it won't be strong enough to kill. It has to be stabbed straight down.

You guys were thinking being a half demon rocks huh? Well, guess again. While werewolves needs to be careful of silver, I have to avoid both silver and gold. Yup, that's my life. It sucks.
