Second Chance Luna (Phoebe and Jason) novel Chapter 50

“Jace!”

Jason paused turning as William hurried to catch up to him. Jason nodded to his friend. After breakfast, he assumed William would disappear with his mate again, but Phoebe invited Lily to the spa day his mother and sister planned, along with a handful of other lunas she had become close to. Surprisingly Lily agreed. So now they were both on their own.

Jason certainly couldn’t blame his friend for wanting to spend every moment with his mate. When William showed up with Camilla Jason had been worried about the path his friend was on. It was a slippery slope as his father attested to. He still had concerns but so far Camilla hadn’t made any trouble.

“So…haven’t seen you in a while,” Jason smirked.

William cleared his throat and had enough sense to be sheepish. Jason chuckled although he was one to talk.

After finding Phoebe and bringing her home Luke practically had to beg him to get back to his alpha duties.

“So, I’ve been meaning to catch up with you about the alpha meeting,” Jason said as they started walking again.

“Ah yeah, about that silver cure you have, right?” William nodded

Jason raised a brow.

“Lily mentioned it after talking to her brother,” William shrugged.

Jason nodded. That made sense. Lily was one of many experts in Harvest Moon so it made sense Reed would consult with her.

“It’s pretty big news,” William said, “did Phoebe really come up with it?”

“Her and her friend,” Jason nodded with a smile. “They didn’t even know the prospects of what they came up with.

I dread to think what would have happened if that i***t alpha of theirs figured it out.”

“You mean her first mate?”

Jason growled his eyes flashing amber.

“Easy! Easy!” William held up his hands feeling Jason’s aura rise. He had never feared his friend but he was now very much aware of how dangerous he truly was.

Jason breathed deep willing himself to be calm. Lobo whimpered with longing. Norah and Lucille dragged Phoebe away almost as soon as breakfast was finished so they could begin their spa day free of male drama. He wanted to protest preferring Phoebe to remain protected within the safety of the pack. However Phoebe smiled and gave him a gentle kiss that had him ready to agree to anything. Jason was regretting it now as he was always calmer when she was near. His nerves were fraying with so many other alphas present so he was headed to the training grounds to work some of it off. No doubt the other alphas were all thinking the same thing so it was going to be crowded but it was still a good idea.

“Where are you headed?” William asked as if he couldn’t guess by the direction of their path.

“The training grounds.”

“What a coincidence, me too,” William smiled. “There’s someone I have to mind to tear into.”

Jason grinned knowing full well who William referred to.

Lily managed to calm him some before she joined the others for their spa day but now William was in the same boat as Jason. Without their lunas to sooth them they were getting anxious. Jason had always prided himself on his self-control and patience but now it seemed nothing more than an act. Was he really allowing worry to cloud his judgment? Why was he so anxious?

Blue Moon’s training grounds consisted of an outdoor arena as well as a gym complete with weight room and indoor running track. With so many alphas around being able to work out aggression in a controlled atmosphere was imperative. Because of that the grounds remained open throughout the day.

Reaching them they found most had taken up space in the outdoor arena. Some were running laps in human or wolf form. Others, including a number of lunas, were lounging on the bleachers, watching and conversing. The majority, however, were sparring, testing themselves against the Blue Moon warriors. Though the visiting alphas and betas had the advantage of rank the pack warriors had extensive training.

Though Jason didn’t announce himself the others immediately sensed him. The Blue Moon warriors bared their necks in submission waiting for a nod before returning their activities. Jason acknowledged the other alphas with a nod as well. William; however, was preoccupied. He scanned the crowd until his eyes settled on the object of his search.

Jason trailed a step behind as he made his way to the seats where the newly arrived alpha was posing for some younger she-wolves no doubt there to ogle the pack warriors. He was probably hoping to make a better impression from the one he started with at breakfast.

Standing beside him was his escort and bodyguard.

Neither dared approach Jason after breakfast and they seemed oblivious to him now. But this was William’s show.

William quickly closed the distance. Reaching the warrior he trapped him on the shoulder. The moment the other turned William hit him with a right hook that sent him spinning before he collapsed on the ground.

“Get up,” William sneered. “Time we settled up, pup.”

Grabbing the other by the collar William dragged him to the nearest sparring arena. The others quickly vacated it to join the onlookers. He tossed the warrior into the arena before stepping in and quickly yanking off his own shirt. The other alphas looked to Jason to see him watching with a rather amused expression. Some relaxed and others became more nervous.

“Hey wait,” Liam moved to protest only to have Jason’s hand settled on his shoulder.

“I advise you to sit this one out,” Jason said. “It’s between them.”

“I don’t understand.”

“I don’t expect you to, pup,” Jason said sounding remarkably calm. Lobo stopped pacing and was content to watch the match play out.

“What is that supposed to mean? You can’t let them fight.

He’s an alpha.”
