My Second Chance novel Chapter 8

Sapphire's P.O.V

"Can I touch you?" He asked cautiously as if I was a hurt animal. I bit my lip. Isn't he gonna reject me or something?

He seemed to see the uncertain in my eyes. "I'm not going to hurt you." He frowned. Accept! Accept! I want to feel him, Gwen gushed. Drew grumbled at her. I looked up into his eyes. There were so many emotions swirling. It was like a confusing piece of art. But that was one emotion that clearly showed. If I could choose a colour to represent it, it would be yellow. Because yellow stands for brightness and brightness stands flexible happiness.

I took a small uncertain step towards him. Closing our distance between us a little.

He smiled at me. The cold blooded Alpha actually smiled at me. His smile was like the sun to my world, brightening every single thing in me. His smile was so contagious that even a small smile started to tug at the corner of my lips. He clicked open the other damn chain that was chaining me there with one hand while his other one was holding gently to my already free arm. Just the touch of my mate made my wolf sigh in content. I placed my two free arms by much sides, admiring his muscles that were flexing while moved.

"Are you tired?" He asked, concern etching over his features. I nodded my head shyly. He smiled and picked me up bridal style so quickly that I squealed. His chest vibrated as he chuckled. "Your voice is melodious and angelic." He said as he nuzzle his head into the crook of my neck. I blushed furiously. Not everyday you get complimented for your voice being melodious and angelic.

"Sleep. I'll here someone to get you your belongings. I'll bring you to a room to rest." He said softly. "I'm not tired." I protested. I actually am. I am dead exhausted. I just want to spend every moment I can with him before I was forced to leave him. "You look like you are going to past out in any second. Rest." He said more sternly. I nodded as he pressed his lips to my forehead.

With that, I let the tiredness take over me. But not before thinking about the rumors that floated around him. He doesn't seem cold blooded.... Right?

Ryder's P.O.V

As I went closer to the cell, I smelled something sweet. I sniffed at the air. It smelt like strawberries and vanilla.

Mate! Jay, my wolf yelled excitedly. I stiffened. Mate? I have been waiting for ages to meet my destined one. I even had doubts that I would never meet her. My pace went faster as I neared the cell. Excitement racing through me.

The delicious scent got stronger and stronger. I stopped in front of the metal door. There was something different about her scent. It seemed... different. It was stronger than the usual scents. It had a strong alluring power... yet repel you at the same time. It's strange. This kind of power can start to manipulate people too. People around here should be careful of her.

What are you waiting for dumbass?! Our mate is in there. Open the door! Jay yelled at me. Isn't her scent a little.... I don't know... strange? I asked. Who frickin care right now?! She might be hurt!" Jay yelled. That put me in a frenzy. He's right. She could be hurt right now. Hey, I'm not the total heartless douchebag people think I am. I slammed the door open. The scent hit me like a wave. It took all my willpower to not rush to the source of the scent. I remained calm, walking to where my Beta, Alec stood. He's also one of my best friends.
