Second Chance Luna (Phoebe and Jason) novel Chapter 55

“Huh, wait. Your first mate was also an alpha?” William asked.

His voice carried further than intended and drew a few looks in their direction. Though many heard the rumor Phoebe had been rejected they knew nothing about her first mate. That fact no longer surprised her. Phoebe had long ago realized the shame of rejection followed the recipient not the giver.

“Yes,” Phoebe nodded. “We met shortly after he returned from his time at the Alpha School. We only knew each other based on rumors. It was the first time we ever met face-to-face.”

“And he rejected you…just like that?” William scoffed.

“He had already decided to take a chosen mate while he was at school,” Phoebe shrugged. “I guess he didn’t want to change his mind.”

She leaned against Jason hoping he would relax. The moment William started talking about her first mate he tensed. It seemed it was more of a sensitive subject to him than it ever was to her.

“You!”

Phoebe jerked to attention and turned to the door as did everyone else to see Camilla wearing a light blue gown.

Máni sneered at the blatant disrespect. This was Phoebe’s Luna Ceremony after all and Camilla was nowhere near Luna status. At first, Phoebe wondered what the she-wolf could possibly want until she realized Camilla’s attention was on Lily.

Is she really doing this now?’

This should be interesting,’ Máni mused.

“How dare you try to take my place,” Camilla stalked toward their small circle.

Phoebe had to give the she wolf credit as she boldly approached three alphas even with Máni suppressing their auras somewhat. She could tell Jason and especially Reed had their hackles up while William seemed almost frozen.

Did he really think this confrontation was avoidable?

She glanced at Lily noting she seemed startled but not overly anxious. In fact she actually seemed calm despite the situation she found herself in. Perhaps their chat in the spa…or…

“Mani, are you doing something?’

I don’t know what you are referring to, her wolf huffed. 1 might be nudging her wolf a bit but don’t you feel it?’

Phoebe turned her attention to Lily opening her mind through her wolf’s senses. Though Máni was suppressing the males somewhat she was doing no such thing to Lily.

An anxious energy was surrounding her as if her wolf was pacing, trying to suppress the urge to attack.

“Máni?’

‘Her wolf has been suppressed for a long time,’ Máni confirmed. Nothing is more dangerous than confronting one who finally has something that is theirs’

‘Should we…do something?’

Interesting that you think we could.’

Lily’s eyes flashed as her wolf pressed forward and she stepped away from William to meet the approaching she-wolf she had yet to formally meet. Yet she didn’t panic.

Her wolf practically begged to be given control so she loosened the leash a bit. Some paragraphs are incomplete if you are not reading this novel on Jobnib.com.

What was it she said to do if Camilla dared step in front of her?

Camilla approached, looking furious, but oddly, Lily didn’t sense any aura. Was her wolf not in agreement with this?

Well that didn’t really matter. Lily didn’t trust her courage.

She knew she would wilt under pressure even though her wolf seemed far more confident.

As soon as Camilla was in front of her she followed

Phoebe’s advice slapping her across the face. Whether it was the force of the slap or simply surprise Camilla’s head snapped to the side and she froze. Idle chatter ceased and all eyes not already watching the new drama unfold were certainly aware of it now. But Lily remained calm with her wolf firmly at the forefront.

“You dare approach your Luna like that?” Lily declared. “If you had any sort of dignity you’d know better.”

Camilla stood with her mouth open in shock. Her face stung and her wolf was no help at all. She thought this she-wolf was a pushover. At least that was the rumor but standing in front of her was a fierce wolf quite a bit taller than herself.

“I suggest you back off…unless you want to formally challenge me,” Lily said. “Well?”

Camilla hesitated before baring her neck and backing away. The others gave her a wide berth as she retreated as quickly as she entered. A few snickered at her unfortunate situation.
