Chance’s POV The ride home to Red Moon was a quiet one as I watched Beta Shawn stealing glances at Willow. I knew there was something he was feeling towards my mate, but I knew because she was my mate that he felt a need to resist her. If it was true, that she was his mate too, I knew I would have to accept the situation. Shawn was my best friend and I watched how he had lost his mate to a rogue attack years ago. Her body was never found and he still to this day doesn’t believe that she is dead. Beta Shawn and I, needed to have a long talk with one another after we got back to the packhouse and I needed him to know that if Willow was also his mate than I approve of him mating with her too. I didn’t want my best friend to suffer any longer if Willow could bring him happiness too. I knew just by the way Willow looked at him, that she too had feelings for him and she was trying to hold those feelings back too, because she was mated to me. Looking over at my beautiful mate, who was loo
Willow’s POV Beta Shawn’s words broke something within me and I felt pain deep within my soul. The realization hit me hard that he was only being nice to me because he felt sorry for me. I truly believed that there was a strong connection between the two of us, but it was a mistake that I will never make again. All the nice things he had done for me wasn’t because he had feelings for me, it was because he felt sorry for me, and I was just some charity case to him. My thoughts then went to the night that I pushed him into his room and the moment we had shared together. No wonder he had stopped before anything happened between the two of us and when he told me that he wished the Moon Goddess would have given me to him as a mate too, was all just to make me feel better. As I lay on my bed, I pull a pillow close to me as I let the tears fall from my eyes and I wonder if Alpha Chance feels the same way about me as Beta Shawn does. Was that why when I awoke, I was in my own room instead
Shawn’s POV My wolf ran as hard as he could through the forest as I tried to get the image of Willow’s hurt face out of my head. What I had said to Alpha Chance was never to have been heard by her ears. I was trying to say something that would stop him from making me confess that I had strong feelings for Willow. She was his mate and I never would want to take away from his happiness with her. Plus, I was still not ready to let myself believe that Jess was gone. I felt the bond between Jess and I sever, but I didn’t want to believe that she was gone forever. Every now and then it's as if I can still feel her calling to me and I fear if I let myself feel for Willow that small piece of her will disappear. There was something about Willow that reminded me of Jess and I honestly was starting to believe that it was my mind playing tricks on me. Sometimes when she looks at me I can see Jess inside of her eyes. Even her scent calls to me as it also reminds me of the floral scent Jess used
Willow’s POV I knew that eventually I would have to see Beta Shawn, but I never thought it would be this soon and hurt this bad. The shock of seeing him had caused me to lose complete concentration allowing Alpha Chance to tag me. Alpha Chance saw the look on my face change and he turned to see what I was staring at. Beta Shawn’s eyes moved from me to Alpha Chance and I took that moment to make a run for it. I wasn’t ready to face him yet because my heart still ached from his words last night. Entering the woods, I quickly stripped off my clothes and shifted into my wolf to run off the pain like I used to do back home. It’s funny how you run from one emotional pain just to find another. As my wolf took off, I let her take complete control as I sat in the passenger seat trying to free myself from the pain. The further she got me from Beta Shawn, the less it would hurt or at least I told myself that. But as we rounded the bend to the waterfall with the pool, I could hear the sound of
Willow’s POV Initially, I began to head back towards the packhouse but after a few minutes of my mind getting lost in what just happened, I knew I couldn’t head back and face Alpha Chance. I needed to run and free myself of the pain that now tortured my thoughts. I had given myself to Beta Shawn willingly, knowing that I couldn’t fully have him as mine and I wondered what that meant for us and if my heart could handle this. I also wondered what Alpha Chance would think of all of this and if he would approve of Beta Shawn only being with me too, but not actually mating with me. I knew the two of them were talking about this in his office and he approved of Beta Shawn being my second mate but I wondered if he knew that Beta Shawn didn’t want to actually mate with me, but just have a relationship. Worry then consumed me what the pack members would think of their Luna being mated to their Alpha but also being with their Beta unmated to him. But the need that was in me to be with Beta
Willow’s POV As Alpha Chance placed kisses with his lips on my mating spot, Beta Shawn walked towards me not losing eye contact with me. His pupils were dilated and I could see that need in his eyes to touch me. Alpha Chance’s arms pulled me back against him and I could feel the hardness of his cock pressed against my back. His hands now roamed up my body cupping my breasts and sending heat to my core. Closing my eyes, I let myself lavish in the feel of his touch but then my eyes flew open when I felt two sets of hands on me. Beta Shawn now stood only inches in front of me and his hands were on my lower half pulling my pants down. He looked into my eyes before he bent a knee in front of me. From behind me, Alpha Chance gently pulled my legs apart and I wondered what he was doing but in a matter of seconds I felt Beta Shawn’s mouth between my legs, as he took a lick from my front to my back. A moan slipped from my lips as the sensation of both of my mates touching me at once sent
Willow’s POV Awakening the next morning, I thought my body would be sore from last night’s activities with both my mates, but to my surprise my body felt rejuvenated. The smell of what we did still lingered in the air and as I opened my eyes, I realized that both my mates were gone but lying on the pillow next to me, where Alpha Chance’s head once laid on was a note. Sitting up I reached for the note, and began to read it, Luna, I thought it would be best to let you sleep, so that your body can heal from last night. Laying on the dresser is an outfit that I had brought up for you to change into when you get yourself ready for the day. I would like to take you out for the day and spend some much needed one on one time with my mate. I will be in my office waiting for you when you are ready. Love, Alpha Chance Pulling the note to my chest as I felt warmth spread to my heart. Love isn’t a word that I have heard in a very long time and to see it from Alpha Chance made me feel war
Willow’s POV As if the rogue Alpha could sense that we were looking at him he turned and stared in our direction, but his eyes weren’t on Alpha Chance but on me. Being in a human public place we had to watch not to expose ourselves. Alpha Chance let out a low growl as he noticed that the rogue Alpha was staring at me and placed a possessive arm around me. The rogue Alpha and three of his men began to walk our way and Alpha Chance whispered to me, “Let me do the talking.” The rogue Alpha stopped about four feet in front of us and his eyes were still on me when he says, “And we meet again.” “I have not had the pleasure of meeting you. I am Alpha Chance and this is my territory.” Alpha Chance tells him but the rogue Alpha’s eyes are still on me as if he was studying me. “I haven’t been able to stop thinking about you since our last meeting.” The rogue Alpha says to me ignoring Alpha Chance. Alpha Chance lets go of my hand and then steps in front of me blocking me from the rog
