Second Chance Luna (Phoebe and Jason) novel Chapter 63

Jason sighed making his way to the dining hall finding it more crowded than usual. Ever since the border breech the pack had been lingering over their meals and gatherings despite the fact everything had returned to its usual routine.

Jason understood these moments were necessary for them to feel safe.

“Daddy!” Emma happily squealed.

Jason chuckled kissing each pup on the head before pulling Phoebe to her feet only to sit and plant her in his lap. Phoebe rolled her eyes but didn’t protest his need to hold her. Intellectually he knew he and his wolf should be settled by now. Yet he continued to cling to her needing to hold her.

Even Lobo couldn’t explain why they needed to keep her close but he felt they should keep her within sight at all times. It made Jason nervous to think some threat hovered around her but all he could do was hold her.

“So how was the tour?” Jason asked. He hadn’t wanted to make her meet their second young guest after the last one but meeting Mona to discuss the rogues took longer than he thought.

“Actually, we haven’t gone on one yet.”

“Is he late?” Jason frowned. He was certain the border patrol said their guest had arrived.

“No. He arrived on time,” Phoebe nodded to a small table in the corner where Gideon sat with his arm around Shannon quietly talking with her. They hadn’t moved in over two hours and it seemed he was slowly gaining her trust.

Shannon smiled as he leaned close to nuzzle her.

“Isn’t that…Shannon?” Jason asked.

Phoebe nodded, “Gideon is her second chance mate.”

Jason’s brow shot upward, “What are the chances of that?” Phoebe shook her head. She couldn’t begin to calculate that and even Máni was at a loss to explain.

The fact Shannon would be mated to one of the young alphas was remarkable but the fact the other would be her second chance made it astronomical. Phoebe had linked Mona to ask her but she had been too busy with Jason and Luke at the time.

“It seems this one is much nicer,” Jason said looking at the young couple.

“Yes.” Phoebe nodded, smiling. “It’s strange for her to meet her second chance so soon, but I’m glad she didn’t have to wait as long as I did.”

His embrace tightened and he nuzzled her. Phoebe stroked his cheek savoring the tingles that traveled up her arm. Her eyes shimmered silver as she smiled.

“I’m so happy you found me when you did. I just wish it had been sooner.”

“Me too,” Jason smiled with a note of regret. All that time was wasted when she was waiting for him. He rubbed noses with her knowing he would never let another moment pass.

“WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?!”

The dining hall suddenly fell silent as all eyes turned to the door where Erick stood. He still wore his workout clothing and was covered in a layer of sweat. His hunger had driven him to the dining hall without showering. Though all eyes were on him his were only on one.

“You w***e!”

He growled rushing toward where Shannon sat. She whimpered trying to shrink down even as Gideon stood and moved to shield her.

“Back off, Erick,” he snarled. “And don’t you ever address my mate like that again?”

“Your mate!” Erick growled. “She’s mine!”

“Was,” Phoebe corrected, approaching them. “You rejected her, remember?”

“He’s the one who rejected Shannon?” Gideon scoffed. “I should have known.”

“What’s that supposed to mean?” Erick growled.

“Only that you never understood the value of anything. It’s always bigger, better, faster with you. All you care about is flaunting your title. You never bothered with anything that was actually genuine.”

“Genuine? What about you and Harper?”

“I told you there was nothing between us. We were never mates and I never touched her!”

“You calling my sister a liar?”

“Yes, that is exactly what I’m calling her.”

“Oh really? Well let’s settle this right now, shall we?”

“NO! You will not,” Phoebe snapped her aura washing over them snapping both of them to attention. “You will not tear apart this dining hall or packhouse. If you want to test each other’s testosterone you will do so in the gym.”

“You can’t tell me what to do”” Erick snarled struggling against the weight of her aura and clearly surprised by her authority.

He raised his hand to lash out only to have it gripped tightly as another aura crushed down on his shoulders. Startled, Erick looked to see Jason standing over him, growling warning. Not even his father’s aura hit him so hard.

“I know you weren’t just threatening my Luna, pup.” Erick shivered.

“I will remind you, you are a guest. You have no authority and I have zero patience for childish antics,” Jason warned before yanking the young alpha and forcing him to sit at another table. “You will sit. You will be quiet. And you will eat last.”
