Second Chance Luna (Phoebe and Jason) novel Chapter 91

“Alpha, you wanted to see me?” a young warrior stepped into the office.

“Yes, Dash,” Zain nodded encouraging the young male to enter.

Like most werewolves, Dash had a dark complexion as well as hair and eyes. Given that wolves originated from the Mediterranean region many still bore the hallmarks common to that area even after centuries of breeding.

“How can I help you, Alpha?” Dash asked as he stood in front of the desk.

“We have ourselves a little problem that could become an issue,” Zain said. “It seems the royal family is not happy with Blue Moon’s Luna. They are attempting to petition the Council to declare was on the pack.”

“Why would the royal family do that? What did the Luna do?”

“She was born,” Zain sighed.

The answer only confused Dash more and asked, “Alpha, I don’t know much about politics but I do know we have close ties with Blue Moon. Do you…plan on supporting them even against the royal family?”

“That is the question,” Zain sighed, “but you won’t like this next part.”

“Alpha?”

“You remember that friend of yours from your old pack?”

“….Phoebe?” Dash asked. It had been years since he saw or even spoke to her, the one wolf who seemed to understand him. If not for her support he wouldn’t have been able to leave. He would have taken her with him but her mother just passed away and her father wasn’t doing well.

He contacted her later after he settled in at Strawberry Moon only to learn she had taken in two orphans. Given her caring heart it didn’t surprise him at all. It pained him all the more because no one in Rimrock appreciated her efforts. And it especially annoyed him her own fated mate didn’t appreciate her.

She never breathed a word who had been dumb enough to reject her but he had his suspicions. Phoebe was intelligent, kind, humble and treated every pup like her own. It was obvious to him she was meant to be Luna, which meant the fool had to be their Alpha.

Dash couldn’t stand it the fact that their Alpha took a chosen mate when his fated mate was right in front of him. Others in the pack warned him fated bonds didn’t sever completely unless their wolves accepted the rejection as well which meant Phoebe would be subjected to his betrayal every night he was with his chosen mate. He wanted to help and practically begged his Luna to request a transfer.

Luna Chandler warned it would be a long-shot especially if the Rimrock Alpha was her mate but agreed to try. It had been rejected. Dash practically begged Phoebe to make the journey to Strawberry Moon even if she had to go rogue. But she wouldn’t leave the pups and she wouldn’t allow them to go rogue with an uncertain future.

He shouldn’t have been surprised. Phoebe was impossibly stubborn and it irritated him how she undervalued herself. She was so busy taking care of others she never bothered about herself.

“I don’t understand, what does this have to do about Phoebe?” Dash asked, his mind returning to the present.

“She’s Blue Moon’s Luna.”

Dash remained silent as the news sunk in before suddenly doubling over in laughter. It was too much. Phoebe, dear, sweet Phoebe, who had been treated like s**t by their own pack, rejected by her mate, was now the Luna of the world’s most powerful pack. It was too much. The Goddess certainly knew how to twist a screw.

“Dash?” Zain let him go for awhile before trying to calm him, “are you okay?”

“Yeah,” Dash caught his breath, “you’re sure? I mean, was she all right? Did Alpha Jason treat her all right? Was she happy?

“I’ve known Jason for quite a few years,” Zain said. “He has been desperate to find his fated mate. I’ve never seen any wolf look so tirelessly for their mate. I can assure you he adores her and I would say worships the ground she walks on.”

“He does?”

“Rest assured his devotion knows no bounds.”

A smile twitched Dash’s lips. Finally, someone appreciated and treated Phoebe with the love she deserved. She deserved every moment of happiness.

“He also adopted the orphans she took in,” Zain said.

“Really? He did?” Dash asked surprised. “An alpha?”

“There is nothing Jason will not do for his Luna to make her happy.”

Dash heard many rumors of the Blue Moon Alpha. He was reserved, unemotional and distant. Jason treated everyone with respect but he avoided emotional entanglements. Many thought he was cold but that didn’t stop several she-wolves from pursuing him. He didn’t spare any of them a single thought.

It was hard to believe Alpha Jason could be soft and adoring let along adopt pups that had no relation to him. Could it really be true?

“But…you said the royal family is against Blue Moon’s Luna.”

“I did,” Zain nodded. “The king seems to think she will destroy the fabric of werewolf society.”
