My Second Chance novel Chapter 35

Ryder's P.O.V

"I can't believe she said that." I frowned when Clover told me what Sapphire said.

"Hell are we staying out of this. She's our soon to be Luna." Alec snorted. "I'm gonna kill the people who touched her." Cole grumbled.

"I'm going to make a call to her friend. I'll see you guys later." Clover ignored what we said and left the little shop where we were eating our dinner. "I can't believe I let you guys talk me into having dinner and not destroying their pack." I mumbled and stuffed a piece of chicken into my mouth. Cole rolled his eyes at me. "What's the plan then?" Alec raised a brow. "We'll go back to the pack house and train the guards. Then we'll attack when the time comes." I summarised, leaning into my seat.

"Okay, done. I spoke to Sapph's friend, Bella. She said that Sapph somehow managed to make a deal on staying in a guest room and away from Graysen for the next 4 days-" I cut her off. "She stayed in Graysen's room?" I roared, anger overwhelming me. People in the cafe stared at me like I was nuts. I could feel Jay trying to break the wall I put up. He had been fighting for control from this morning and I managed to block him out. I had just managed to calm down that my mate was abducted and now Clover just had to send me news that she stayed in another man's room, let alone sleep in another man's bed?!

What the fuck woman?

Clover rolled her eyes as if she knew what I was thinking. "Shut up. Do you want to get her back or not?" She growled and I pouted like a 3 year old, slumping into my seat.

My Alpha title won't get me the respect I deserve with this girl.

"They are going to try to sneak her out tomorrow morning when Graysen goes off for pack business." Clover explained and I interrupted before she could continue. "They?" I asked, straightening in my seat. "Yeah, her two friends, Bella and Willow, and her first mate, Leonard." Clover explained. I opened my mouth to complain but she beat me to it. "Ryder Black, I swear, if you complain about her being close to another guy when she has bigger problems to worry about, I will cut off your ball sacks with a chainsaw, dry them under the sun, smash them, and force feed it to you, do you fucking hear me?!" She snarled and I widened my eyes.

"Good." She said when I shut my mouth in fear.

"So, they'll try to sneak her out and we attack at the same time when everybody is panicking on her disappearance." Cole summarised and I nodded, agreeing to the plan.

"That's all then. We just have to wait till dawn." Alec sighed.

Sapphire's P.O.V

Wait- didn't Graysen said his mate died at childbirth? Gwen frowned. I sat up from the fluffy pillows. She's right.

Graysen said that his mate was my mother. Then said that his mate died at childbirth. And Jennifer has no similarities with me or my mother.

That's why he wants to make my life a living hell! It's not all about my mother. It's because he failed to live a life with his second chance mate! He wants me to suffer like him. It all makes sense, I gasped. So your mother was a part of his anger, not all. He's... jealous." Gwen murmured. It doesn't matter if he is jealous or just angry, we need to get out before the Changing. It's already affecting me, Drew growled.

The changing was affecting me too. I could feel heat slowly boiling in me. I literally feel evil stirring in me.

Sapph? Clover's voice invaded my mind. Clover? Did you call her? I asked eagerly. Yes, they'll try to sneak you out at dawn and we'll attack by then, Clover answered. Good, the Changing is slowly affecting me, I mumbled. Don't worry, we'll be there in time, hang on Sapph, She soothed. Thanks Clover, I... I need to rest, I said and quickly blocked her out before she could feel my emotions.

Tears started pricking at the corner of my eyes.

What if we don't get out? What if we danger Ryder and the pack by telling them to save us? I babbled.

Nothing like that will happen, Gwen tried to comfort me. No ifs Sapph. Everything will be fine, well, if we get out before blowing the whole place down with my demonic powers, Drew shrugged and I couldn't help but roll my eyes at her.

Things will get better, I promise, Gwen soothed. But I couldn't help but feel something would go really wrong.

"Sapph, Sapph. Wake up, quickly.... We gotta go..." A familiar voice jolted me out of sleep. I sat up groggy and rubbed my eyes. "Will? Bell?" I murmured. "You didn't tell us your mate is the scary Alpha of Dark Moon Pack." Bella whisper-squealed. "This isn't the time for that!" Willow grumbled. "W.. what are you guys doing here? Where are the guards who are guarding me?" I mumbled, my voice thick with sleep.

"We're busting you out of here. Ryder and your pack fighters are here. Well... out of smelling range...but here." Bell said, shaking my shoulders to wake me up completely.

With that, I jolted up, completely awaken. "Wait what?!"

"Let's hurry. Me and Bell are following you to your pack." Will walked towards the door. "What about Leonard?" I jumped out of bed. "He's not coming. It'll be too... painful for him." Bell hesitated before speaking. Guilt tugged at my heart. "Oh." I murmured.

"Come on." Bell whispered yelled and tugged me out of my little comfy prison.

We navigated through the pack house easily. Cold wind whipped at my dirty blonde hair as I felt Ryder's presence close.

"You're so stupid." Willow shook her head as we continued to run towards the border line. "What did I do?" I panted, since the wolf bane hadn't completely wore off and it was still affecting Gwen. My body started heating even more and I knew the Changing was getting closer. Drew fidgeted, worrying about what would happen to her.

"We know the whole story. Clover told us." Will shot me a glare. "Again... What did I do?" I raised an eyebrow, my breathing growing heavier by each second. "How could you just ditch him like that? Do you know how many people would die to just get a mate that sexy and hot?" Bell huffed. "And again... what the hell did I do?" I mumbled. "You love him. He loves you. Are you actually asking me what you did? What the hell girl?" Will said, frustration lacing her tone. "Well I'm sorry if my brain isn't still completely awake." I muttered. "You could've just told him. But noooo.... you just had to break his heart in the process." Bell cut in, making me wince at the thought. "He's still alive, isn't he?" I snapped.

"Shit." Will cursed, stopping in her tracks, making me and Bell do the same.

"What?" Bell asked, worry in her tone.

"One of the guards awoken. He's sent a warning through the pack link." Will said with frustration. Bell's face paled and the colour drained from her rosy cheeks.

Suddenly, shouts from the pack house were audible. I felt real fear shoot through my body. I was never going to make it out of here. I gnawed my bottom lip, looking at Will.
