Chapter 6

Jace's POV

Ever since I laid eyes on Skylar in the forest I haven't been able to get

her out of my mind. Every time I smell her delicious apple cinnamon

scent it sends my wolf into a frenzy howling, purring, and chanting

something I can't quite make out. When ever me and Skylar touch I feel

sparks and fireworks flow through out my body from where ever she

touches me. I can't seem to get her our of my head and when I try to I

always seem to run into her, it seems like something is pulling us

together by an invisible thread. Whenever I see Skylar it sends my wolf

and my heart into overdrive, as the days pass and the more time Skylar

and I spend together the more intense the feelings and sparks become

and the more I don't like any other male looking or touching her. I

know she feels them too I just wish I knew if she felt the same way

about me as I do her.

I awoke to the most delicious scent of apples and cinnamon pounding

on my door asking me to meet her in the training grounds for some

extra training. I yell through the door that I'll meet her at the training

grounds in 10 minutes. I shower and get dressed in record time, as I'm

heading to the training grounds I realize that I am subconsciously

following her scent there. Once at the training grounds I watch her

finish her run before we begin working on some extra training, we work

on some offensive and defensive moves as well as working on some

wrestling moves just to keep things interesting. I trained with Skylar for

3 hours with her beating me 80% of the time, once she pins me for the

last time strong sparks flow through our bodies and our eyes go wide

letting me know that she feels them too. I flip us over so I am now

staring down at her, after the shock fades from her eyes it gets replaced

with happiness, confusion, and wonder.

“Mate” I say breathlessly to her.

“Mate? But how can we be mates when my mate rejected me?” Skylar

whines in disbelief

When she mentions that bastard I growl "MINE" at her.

She looks at me and hesitantly puts her hand on my cheek calming me

down instantly as I lean into her amazing touch. As we lay there staring

at each other Lucas my beta walks in and clears his throat which makes

me growl as me and Skylar scramble to stand awkwardly side by side.

Skylar then excuses herself and goes to leave but before she can I grab

her hand and ask her to meet me in my office in an hour so I can talk to

her, she nods to me as she leave the training grounds and heads back

to the pack house.

“What do you want Lucas?” I growl out through gritted teeth as I glare

at him for interrupting.

“We received a call from the Silver Moon Pack requesting our help to

train their wolves. It seems that they need some extra training seeing as

they are having a difficulty defending themselves from some increased

rogue attacks” my beta informs me

“When do they want us there?” I question

“Monday, which gives you the time to tell Skylar that we have to go and

train her old pack.” he says to me scared of the though of how Skylar

will react.

I lightly chuckle at him for a moment before leaving to go and shower

and get dressed before I have to meet Skylar in my office to explain to

her about is being mates. Then I need to come up with a way to tell her

about is having to go and train her old pack and to brace for her

reaction knowing it will not be a good one. After I shower and get

dresses I head to my office to wait for Skylar to get there and not even

5 minutes later I hear a soft knock on my door.

“Come in” I say and in enters a very confused Skylar. I look at her with

adoration in my eyes as I look her up and down enjoying the way she

looks and seeing just how much she has changed since she's been with

us. As she sits in one of the chairs in front of my desk she clears her

throat nervously before asking me what's been nagging at her mind

since I called her my mate.

“How can we be mates when I already have a mate even though he

rejected me?” Skylar says with immense sadness at the recollection of

what her first mate did to her.

“Well it means that I am your second chance mate.” I state, when I

glance at her I see her staring at me with confusion clear as day on her

face.

“How can that be I thought second chance mates were a myth?” She

says looking at me with confusion and disbelief swirling in those

beautiful eyes of hers.

“No it's not a myth darling every werewolf is born with two mates and if

their first mate rejects them and the mate that got rejected accepts it

their bond breaks. Now when that happens the rejected mates bond

with their second mate starts to form and only the mates that are

rejected get the chance with their second mate.” I say while looking

into her bright reddish gold eyes.

When I finish talking I let her think about what I just told her and after a

solid 30 minutes of silence she looks up at me with the widest eyes that

had fear and sadness swirling in them as they were filled with tears that

were threatening to spill over and the next thing I know she's running

out of my office and into the woods. I chase after her and into the

clearing about a mile behind the pack house knowing that she'll be

there because that is the only place she goes when she's upset.

“Darling why did you run away from me?” I ask as gently as I can so

that I don't scare her away

“Because I know what you were going to do I know that you were

going to reject me just like he did because who could ever want

someone like me?” Skylar said insecurely as she started to cry again

“I would never ever reject you love, you are the most beautiful, sexy,

confident, and perfect person I know and I am extremely grateful that

you are my mate “cause I wouldn't want anyone else to be my mate but

you, no one would ever measure up to you your perfect.” I say looking

into her eyes so she can tell I'm telling her the truth then I say the one

thing I know she will like.

“I, Jace Miller, accept you Skylar Rose as my mate and future Luna of

the Night Shade Pack.” I say lovingly and nervously not knowing what

she will say or react.

She just stood there staring at me in bewilderment and then she

hugged me and said the words that would make me fall even more in

love with her.

“I, Skylar Rose accept you Jace Miller as my mate and Alpha.” she said

quietly but being a werewolf I heard her and looked at her with so

much love. I slowly moved one hand to cup her cheek and the other I

wound in her gorgeous blood red hair and kissed her softly and with so

much passion and relief when she started to kiss back, which made me

so happy I deepened the kiss and pressing her against me even more.

Reluctantly I pulled away and pressed my forehead to hers panting and

admiring my mate's oh so perfect features before walking back to the

pack house hand in hand.

Once back at the pack house we head back to my office and I have her

sit in my lap as I hug her waist and she leans her back into my chest, I

bury my face in the crook of her neck and inhale her delicious scent

calming myself before I have to break the news to her.

“So, how do you feel about us being mates?” I ask hesitantly

“I'm happy that we are mates and I couldn't be more grateful to have

you in my life.” she says sheepishly making her blush

I tense up and she knows something is up and she turns in my lap so

she's sitting sideways with her head on my shoulder looking up at me

with worry in her eyes before she finally asks me “What's wrong babe

you're tense all of a sudden?”

“Huhhh, I have something to tell you" I say nervously not looking at her

“Okaii what is it I can handle it just tell me.” she says looking at me with

love as she puts a hand to my cheek. I lean into her touch and take a

deep breath before telling her the bad news.

“Alright now darling please don't get mad at me but we got a call

about going and helping train a pack who had been having increased

rogue attacks.” I say

"kayy now why would I get mad at you for it.......wait.........what pack is

it?” She demands through gritted teeth with so much power radiating

off of her that he eyes start to glow a very bright red.

“Ummm......it's your old pack the Silver Moon Pack” I tell her while

looking at the ground. I felt her get off of my lap and pace around my

office until I heard her growl and then a thud. Startled I look up and see

Skylar pulling her now injured hand out of the wall across from my desk

with a very pissed off expression on her face. I get up and run over to

her and wrap her in a big tight hug and she starts to calm down as she

breaths in my scent, when she fully relaxes I guide her to the couch in

my office and sit her on it so I can examine the extent of the damage

she did to her hand.
