Book:Arya's Second Chance Mate Published:2025-3-31

Arya’s POV
Gasps rippled through the room as they stared at the werewolf beast. He was the last person expected to be seen at the full moon party. This was because he almost never left his pack. He really spoke to others and we have heard gory tales of his rage.
Being a grade 7 alpha in lycanthropy , availed him with strength and skills of rare werewolves. Shape shifting. Speed. Strength.
He was known to kill by ripping people’s head off. But amongst all the horrible things that had been said of him, only one thing was absolutely wrong. His facials. Who said he was ugly? It had to be the mask.
His beauty was breathtaking.
He had High cheeks bones. Slightly plump lips. Long legs Jet black, pony tail tied hair and icy grey eyes. And he was dressed in all black. Damn! He was an eye candy but in a dangerous way.
“chase king ” he growled as he took one more step to my sister. She took one back. ” That’s my name, Alpha of the black moon pack. You know me don’t you?”
Anastasia stared at her feet. “yes” she muttered. Her voice was small like a shy child. This was my first time of seeing her cower. I looked around her and I couldn’t see her little minions. They had vanished into thin air.
“Of course you do” chase smirked. He looked down and knelt in front of my son. By then Anastasia disappeared into the crowd. The crowd that had formed quickly dissolved too. But I noticed something. People seemed to give way to where I and chase and chamber stood.
Chamberlain smiled. ” thank you sir, you were awesome…cool” he laughed
Chase smirked. ” right back at you buddy”
He stood up and fixed his laser eyes on me. I felt like hiding. Was I the next to be growled at? He let his eyes travel lazily around my body. I felt naked even with the various layers of clothing on me. He was about to speak when someone interrupted him. I turned around to find Jake. My eyes almost bulged out of its pocket.
“what do you want here?!” Jake thundered. His voice boomed through the room and that caused people to stare in our direction.
Chase smirked as he faced Jake. “nice of you to attend this year’s full moon” Jake smirked back.
“yeah I decided to come see how all of you are doing” chase said. ” how’s chin by the way?”
Jake scowled. What were they talking about I knew nothing about it. Did this two know each other.
Jake looked around Chase. I think that was when he spotted me. His eyes widen a fraction bigger but then he quickly recovered. He smirked and walked closer.
“I see you have someone with you ‘ he said.” If you don’t mind me asking, who is she?”
My heart raced as every one zeroed in on me. I wished for the ground to open up and swallow me. Chase first of all signaled to someone and my son was taken away.
He walked closer to me and as he tried to hold me, I flinched. I mean who wouldn’t. The werewolf beast was holding me. He realized this and his eyes softened. Chase leaned into my neck. And I thought he was going to whisper something into my ears when he bit me. My eyess widened and I tried to break away from him but he was stronger. I was no match for him. Everyone gasped when he released me. It meant one thing and one thing only.
I had been marked. He was my mate.
As l walked to his room, I had sweat dripping down my armpit and hands. I had never been this nervous. I thought of what will become of me if Chase vented his anger on me. I knew it wasn’t in my place to talk to him but I just couldn’t sit back and be part of the black moon pack.
After he had marked me, I went to bathroom and cried. There went my freedom and all. Alpha Chase was ruthless with his mates. The last and the only one I heard of was so terrified when he marked her, that she had to commit suicide. Since then, he hadn’t mated any one. On our way back to the black moon pack, I called Kelsi and told her everything. She told me she had a bad feeling about him. She finally told me to go to h and demand that he rejects you as his mate. And that I did.
When I got to the door and was about to knock, I heard a voice and I froze.
“Come in” a voice growled from the inside. I stood for a while before recognizing that it was none other than Chase’s voice. How he knew that I was at the door has me surprised. I took in a deep breath and walked in.
His Chambers was as beautiful even though he had just black furniture and curtains in it. It was bare of any other homely warm thing. Dark Like his heart.
I walked in and saw him leaning on a wall, drinking liquor. Chase as I have come hear since my stay in the black moon pack never drank unless he had something brewing on his mind.
And what scared the shit out of me was that he was doing that, because of me. I waited for him to speak but I heard nothing from him. Just at the moment I was about to ask him to speak, he said a word that had me wanting to run, without looking back.
“Strip.”
“Excuse me?” My heart stopped beating but somehow I was still breathing.
“You heard me” he said with a bored look on his face. He stared at me like I was some stupid item. Suddenly his door opened and someone came in.
“Your highness, she’s clean. She’s not spying” he said and immediately walked out. Chase stared at me and I gulped.
“If you’ve come here for me to reject you, know it’s not possible. You are mine already” he said deadpanned.
