Second Chance Luna (Phoebe and Jason) novel Chapter 37

“Is that a challenge?” Phoebe benignly smiled her gray eyes shimmering again.

Camilla hesitated, her wolf cowering. The rumors swirling around the new Luna in front of her were enough to make most lower their head in shame so Phoebe’s confidence was unnerving. Her rejection was no secret apparently and as far as her being wolfless…Camilla had only confirmed that no one had seen her wolf.

Camilla forced her doubts back. She couldn’t afford to be intimidated, not now. Forcing some bravado she said, “I for one wouldn’t wait for a fated mate when there are better options standing right next to you.”

William sighed not meeting Jason’s pensive frown. He had been seeking his fated mate almost as long as Jason.

While the latter had foregone any relationships wanting to be faithful to the mate he had yet to meet William was no stranger to sharing his bed. Camilla was by far his most consistent companion and she had been pressing him to take each other as chosen mates. She was so convincing and earnest he had almost complied numerous times.

“I find it sad,” Phoebe’s gaze reflected her sorrow and pity.” Searching for your fated mate certainly may seem arduous but you should never forget they are searching for you too.

Perhaps they have been looking even longer. Perhaps their first mate ripped their soul apart with a rejection and they have hidden themselves from the pain still desperately craving someone to make them whole.

“But to think you would give up the search and them, breaking the link that binds you together before either can even feel it…and abandon them to their pain when you could have been the one to save them.

Jason has made me feel more complete than I ever thought was possible. He may call me angel but he is truly my guardian angel. I don’t know what I would have done if he hadn’t found me when he did.”

Jason’s embrace tightened. He bowed his head nuzzling her as both he and Lobo were overcome with love for their mate. Jason would never stop telling her how special she was or making her feel loved.

‘Our Mate loves us!’ Lobo practically howled.

“I love you, angel” Jason poured all his devotion into their link.

“Mommy! Mommy!” Emma said skipping up to them and grasping her hand. “Blake and me found something!

Wanna see!”

“Of course,” Phoebe smiled. “Let’s see what you found.”

She gave Jason a loving look before she let the pup pull her away. He was reluctant to let her go but they would have plenty of time together later. Phoebe was glad to get away from the other she wolf who was far too irritating.

She worried that William would make a very poor decision if he took the other as his chosen mate. But Phoebe wasn’t sure it was her place to speak to him. He was Jason’s friend, not hers and they had only just met.

“See mommy! Look!” Emma said as they reached a rather quiet corner and pulled her mind away from her dark thoughts.

There, several pups had gathered to avoid getting underfoot of so many alphas and lunas. Though it was unlikely any would reprimand the pups too harshly while on Blue Moon’s pack lands the presence of so many dominant figures made the pups inclined to be on their best behavior.

Only Blake and Emma retained a boisterous nature due to Jason’s alpha blood intermixed with theirs.

The pups had gathered around an old, scuffed upright piano. The front panels had been carved with a woodland scene with wolves showing that at one time the piano had been a centerpiece though it was now regulated to this corner.

“Well, look at that,” Phoebe gently pulled out the bench and sat down. She noted the dust before lifting the protective cover over the keys. “How long as this been here?”

The pups gathered around her shrugged. They had never heard it played in their lifetimes.

“That’s a shame,” Phoebe tapped a few keys to find it still in tune. “You know instruments need to be played or else they slowly die. But this one still has some life in it.”

“Play something, mommy,” Emma said. “Please?”

“What would you like me to play?”

“Something bouncy!” Emma declared. “So we can dance!”

“You want to dance? Something bouncy…oh, I know,”

Phoebe placed her hands on the keys.

“So…your mate,” William cleared his throat. “She’s something else.”

“You have no idea,” Jason smiled his gaze slowly leaving her retreating form. “I can’t count the number of ways she’s surprised me.”

“She doesn’t seem all that special,” Camilla scoffed earning a warning glare from Jason she ignored. “I mean she was already rejected once.”

William nudged her trying to link her to be quiet but she seemed oblivious. Now that Phoebe had walked away the influence she had also waned and Camilla was eager to shed the last of her internal shame.

“Who is their right minds would give her the time of day?”

Jason struggled to control himself as Lobo raged. His eyes shifted and his hair bristled. Was this she wolf really so oblivious? Did she have a death wish?
