Second Chance Luna

Chapter Sixty-Nine YS Chapter Sixty-Nine

Phoebe leaned against Jason letting herself relax and enjoy their present company. If this was how the evening would go she wouldn't mind

it at all. So focused on their group she didn’t notice the arrival of the royal family until the King stepped forward raising a hand to call

everyone to attention

“Friends, allies, alphas and unas, it pleases me to see so many gathered here for my dear daughter's birthday,” the King announced

He stood on the edge of the courtyard where the ledge gave him a natural height advantage. Beside him Queen Leah maintained a severe

expression looking uncomfortable as all eyes turned toward them. Next to her stood a younger she-wolf, clearly the princess they were

gathered to honor while on the king’s far right were two males, the princes. The king, queen and princes wore purple signifying their place

as members of the royal family while the princess set herself apart in light blue and crowned with a sparkling diamond tiara

The family did make a striking group as they stood together. All bore similar facial features: dark eyes, long, narrow noses and tanned skin

However, the king, first prince and princess were blonde while the queen and second prince had dark, brown hair. Despite their attempt to

appear as family Phoebe couldn't help but sense tension among them. Though the king commended his daughter's beauty he never once

looked at her

“Would all the unmated males please step forward? One of you will be the lucky one chosen to escort my daughter for the night.”

The unmated males followed his request to stand before the royal family. Some were eager wanting to make a good impression. Others

were

Chapter Sixty-Nine Ww reluctant hoping they were passed over once again. It seemed not everyone thought escorting the princess was a

lucky task. Several glanced at the others now standing in front of the king and noticed a prominent figure had not joined them

Looking to the princess it was clear she also noticed the missing figure. She looked down on her perspective escorts with a frown while her

father waited for her to make her choice so they could get on with the night. Her gaze drifted to the rest of the gathering wondering if he

arrived late and eventually found him talking to several alphas and lunas in a small group

A confident smile returned and she descended into the courtyard marching past her would-be suitors to the one Alpha she coveted. All

eyes followed her as she crossed the distance separating them. Reaching her goal she tapped him on the shoulder

“Jason, you silly goose, you missed father’s announcement,” Selena smiled offering her hand expecting him to take it

He eyed her coldly though that never bothered her. Jason had always been aloof toward everyone. But surprisingly a smile suddenly graced

his face, “Not at all, your Highness. Your father asked for the unmated males.”

Jason turned revealing the petite she-wolf in his arms. His broad frame had hidden her completely from view. She wore a delicate salmon-

pink gown. Her hair was tamed in a half-up style. Despite its rich, dark color she was rather pale and plain looking compared to other she-

wolves. Her most remarkable feature was her gray eyes which shimmered silver in the moonlight

“Allow me to introduce my mate and Luna, Phoebe,” Jason smiled. * Phoebe, angel. This is her highness, Princess Selena.”

Chapter Sixty-Nine

“Hello, your Highness,” Phoebe smiled. “It’s very nice to meet you

Selena stared in disbelief. Did Jason, a wolf who claimed he would have no other but his fated Luna, just..who was this she-wolf? Jason

bowed his head nuzzling Phoebe and nipping her ear

“Jason,” Phoebe chuckled

Jason growled, smiling and enjoying her against him. For a wolf that had always been cold toward others it was strange to see him so warm

and openly loving. It was clear his actions were not only a surprise to the princess but the other wolves around them

Phoebe shot him a glance in clear warning to mind his manners before looking again to the waiting princess, “Congratulations and happy

birthday.”

«..Th-thank you,” Selena’s mouth twitched as she muttered her reply

She watched in jealousy as Jason cuddled his Luna, showering her with love and attention. In all the years she knew him Jason was always

cold and distant. He virtually sneered at any she-wolf begging for his attention, even her. However, as an unmated male he could never

deny her on her birthday and she always chose him as her escort. Even so he maintained his distance and acted as if her touch revolted him

And yet there was no sign of that now toward the petite she-wolf in his arms. He treated her so tenderly. There was no doubting his desire if

the heaviness of the musk in his scent was any indication. Phoebe kept elbowing him and shot him warning glances but her smile made it

clear she delighted in his attention. Just who was this she-wolf? How was she

able to get his attention and love?

“Ah!” Jason suddenly looked up, “Phoebe, there's someone I wanted

Chapter Sixty-Nine Ww to introduce you to. Shall we?”

“Allright,” Phoebe cast a final glance at Selena before allowing him to lead her away. “Have a wonderful night, your Highness.”

Jason excused them from their group and headed to the buffet table where a pair of males was perusing the offerings. Not surprisingly the

royal family served only the most expensive hors d’oeuvres

“Zain.”

One turned at the sound of his name to see Jason and broke out ina smile, “Jason! Glad to see you! Oh, and who is this lovely creature?”

“This is Phoebe, my mate and Luna. Phoebe this is Alpha Zain of Strawberry Moon and his Luna.”

“Hello,” Phoebe smiled. “I've heard so much about you and your pack

“That is the highest compliment but it's not my doing,” Zain chuckled kissing her hand. “It’s all due to my Luna, Chandler.”

The other male eagerly took her hand, “It’s so good to meet you finally. I was so disappointed when we missed your Luna Ceremony. It was

unfortunate it was so short notice. Men! Am I right? Can’t trust them to plan anything.”

Phoebe laughed as both Jason and Zain shook their heads, “Yes,

males are impossible.”

“Excuse me?” Jason scoffed. “My mother planned it so it’s all her fault

Zain snorted, “Issues much?”

Jason growled but there was no hostility behind it. Their packs shared strong ties and originally he planned to end his security tour at

Strawberry Moon as he seldom was able to visit

Chapter Sixty-Nine Ww

“Phoebe,” Chandler mused, “why does that name sound so familiar?”

“It was on the invitation they sent us,” Zain reminded

“No, not that. There was something else...oh yes! A transfer request,” Chandler said. “A few years ago, you remember, we had a young male,

a rogue, arrived on our borders. He wanted to join and said he had a friend he left behind in his old pack. I sent a transfer through but it

was rejected

What was his name?”

“Dash,” Phoebe said

“Yes! That's it! Dash.”

“Am I missing something?” Jason asked

“Dash was a member of Rimrock,” Phoebe explained. “We went to school together. He was one of my few friends. He had a hard time when

it came out he was bi-s****1. The warriors in particular were pretty brutal. He finally had enough. T helped him purchase an old beater, he cut

ties and went rogue. He later contacted me saying he had joined Strawberry Moon and offered to have them put in a transfer for me to join

as well. By that time [ was already taking care of Blake and Emma so I couldn't just leave and I couldn't let the pups go rogue either. I didn’t

know he actually did put the request through.”

“I'm guessing it never made it passed our alpha’s desk,” Chandler sighed. “I warned him it was a long shot but he felt bad about leaving

you behind especially knowing you had been rejected by your mate. But Luna? That's interesting.”

He looked to Jason who stood behind her with a pensive expression at this new revelation. It was almost a fluke he visited Rimrock and

found her. If she had transferred to Strawberry Moon Phoebe would have been even further away and given his mother’s call made him cut

his security

Chapter Sixty-Nine YY tour short he probably never would have visited Strawberry Moon especially knowing their pack security was

excellent

“Perhaps it was best it didn’t work out,” Chandler said coming to the same conclusion. “Dash will be happy to know you are doing well.”

“How is he?”

“He’s one of the best trackers and warriors we have,” Zain announced

“Oh, good,” Phoebe sighed. She was glad to hear he was doing well after all the difficulty he endured. Jason’s embrace tightened in

comfort

She leaned against him enjoying his warmth. Yes, they were all in a much better place

Selena watched Jason walk away with his Luna still in disbelief. For years she pursued him confident he would eventually choose her for his

mate. She was a princess after all, who could be better? Despite the fact he claimed to be waiting for his mate she knew he had to be

getting impatient. No male could hold back his urges forever and she was determined to be there when he finally succumbed but he never

did

And now he found his mate. The warmth in his gaze was no illusion but it was reserved only for Phoebe. He held her, nuzzled her, devoted

all his attention to her. Selena never imagined he could be so loving or attentive. But why that she-wolf?

Phoebe was pretty enough, Selena supposed, in a plain sort of way

The gown she wore showed off her gentle curves but it was nothing compared to Selena’s endowments. She knew just how appealing she

was to other wolves. What was more she had ample experience pleasuring males so she knew she could easily win anyone’s heart

Yet Jason refused to touch her. Any time she tried to entice or seduce

Chapter Sixty-Nine wY him she was met with a firm rejection. He never even spent a single night in the royal palace though she offered him

a bed many times. Every birthday he escaped as soon as propriety allowed with hardly a good-bye

Selena thought he was just being shy given his inexperience. But now ...she watched him with his Luna, the way his hands caressed her, his

arms embraced her, his mouth hungered for her. It was clear there was no shyness in him. He devoted everything to her

It couldn't just be the mating bond. Her father assured her the mating bond was nothing special. They had the freedom to choose their

most suitable partner. That was why she rejected her fated mate. She deserved better than a mere royal guard. She hadn't expected the

pain that cut through to her very soul when the bond severed. But after a dose of wolfsbane the pain went away and it had the added

bonus of silencing her whining wolf for a time

If she rejected her mate with such ease there was no reason Jason couldn't especially as he hadn’t met her yet. He was free to take any she-

Wolf for his mate. So why then did he have no interest in her? She was the only princess and possessed a royal lineage. So why?

Why did he look at her with disdain when he had only love for such a plain little she-wolf? It didn’t make sense

“Something the matter, princess?”

Selena jerked from her thoughts to see Lucille eyeing her. The she-wolf had always irritated her but since Lucille was Jason's sister Selena

had no choice but to tolerate her. It just wasn’t right. Selena was from the

royal family yet Lucille never showed an ounce of reverence. Ancient bloodlines or not how could Lucille dare think herself better than a

princess? Because she had a mate? He was only a gamma!

Chapter Sixty-Nine wa With a grow! Selena spun on her heels and returned to her waiting family and unmated males longing to be her

escort. She would show Jason

exactly what he was missing

Lucille snorted back a laugh watching her retreat. She was actually glad she had been dragged along after all
