SECOND CHANCE LUNA - Season 1 Episode 71

“Don’t hesitate now.”

Selena couldn’t tell if it was meant to be a taunt but it infuriated her

~ How dare this she-wo./ ck her! And yet her own wolf was cowering, not wanting to fight. In fact her wolf was whimpering

“We should beg for forgiveness.”

“We are not begging to her!” Selena snapped forcing the shift

gned but it wasn’t easy. Her wolf was not cooperating. Her shifts were getting

“mate. Her wolf had grown morose and barely even spoke from the deepest

It was unacceptable. They were royalty. They deserved only the best

Even her wolf had to admit the best wolf for them was Jason. No other would do and yet her wolf dared pine for another?

The shift was exhausting and afterwards Selena shakily stood on her paws catching her breath. Her wolf still refused to come forward

forcing her to control her body alone. She took a tentative step forward trying to get used to four legs. Looking up she saw Phoebe

watching with an amused gleam in her eyes

Selena snarled. Her rival hadn’t even transformed yet and she had the audacity to look down on her. Selena leapt forward intending to drag

Phoebe down. Yet she hadn’t taken two steps before Phoebe dropped shifting smoothly into a wolf shimmering silver as if formed from the

Chapter Seventy-One Y moonbeams themselves

Phoebe always thought her shifts were faster and smoother than other wolves. Mani said it stemmed from how in sync they were with each

other. The more in sync one was with their wolf the easier and smoother their shifts became

The princess hadn’t managed two leaps before Phoebe shredded her gown and dropped to all fours ready to meet her. Startled by the

sudden shift Selena tried to stop but it was too late. Mani bound forward and met the princess’s charge. Grabbing her by the scruff of the

neck Mani shook her violently before tossing her aside

Landing in a heap Selena let out a sharp yelp before trying to stand

Before she could get her paws under her Mani leapt onto her. She landed with the princess trapped between her forelegs and snarled.

Yelping in terror Selena immediately rolled onto her back and bared her neck

Growling Mani stood over her opponent and snorted in disgust, “So this is what the royal bloodline has come to? How disappointing.”

Taking the princess’s muzzle in her mouth as a sign of dominance and victory Mani stepped away her tail held high as the undisputed victor

Reaching the torn gown she paused letting her blue-gray eyes take in her audience noting their startled, shocked and disbelieving looks

“This could be bad,” Phoebe warned

Turning their attention to Jason they saw he looked as shocked as everyone else by the silver wolf in front of him. A soft whine escaped as

they worried about his silence. Was he angry? Disappointed?

He blinked seemingly coming out of his stupor before stepping forward. Coming to stand before them he knelt so they could be face-to-

face. Hesitantly he reached out cupping her head in his hands and letting her silky fur run between his fingers. Tingles of their bond erupted

Chapter Seventy-One from his touch and with it his soothing presence

“So, you’re Mani,” Jason murmured. “You are as beautiful as Phoebe and Lobo can’t wait to run with you.”

Her tail wagged and their worries faded. Wiggling with excitement Mani pressed forward licking his nose and earning a chuckle for her

brazen attitude

Maybe we should shift back, I Phoebe said. ‘It’ll make it easier to explain.”

“Fine. But I better get to run with my Mate soon,” Mani huffed before allowing her control

Mani’s consciousness slipped back allowing Phoebe to come forward again. As they switched places the shift took over. Their body

realigned and bones snapped back into place. Their fur withdrew and as her knees settled on the cold cobblestone Phoebe suddenly

realized she was, in fact, naked in front of the gathered alphas and lunas

Her face burned with embarrassment not sure what she should do when a soft cloth suddenly settled over her shoulders. Looking up she

saw Jason kneeling in front of her tucking a satin table cloth around her like a blanket and growling at their audience for daring to look at

his Lunaina compromising position

©… Jason.”

He cut her off with a kiss, warm and promising much more when they were alone. Phoebe found herself blushing for a whole different

reason as he swept her into his arms and held her bridal-style safely cocooned in her covering

“You’re not hurt, right?” Jason murmured

“No. I’m fine.”

“Did he not see what just happened? She couldn’t even touch us!” Mani huffed

“Good,” Jason kissed her forehead. “Then I’ll let it go. But if she had so much as scratched you she wouldn’t be allowed to breathe a

moment longer. Let’s go.”

Turning he headed toward the door only to stop as the king suddenly emerged from the crowd, “Jason! Halt!”

Growling in irritation Jason paused looking back at the royal. Phoebe frowned as her gaze settled on the king. Over the years she had

gotten used to looks of pity and disgust from her former pack for being wolfless but the hatred burning in the king’s gaze was something

new

“Jason, you must reject that wretched creature this instant!” the king demanded earning a startled gasp from the crowd. “Il command it!”

Asnarl erupted from Jason like a thunderclap and his aura poured out

making even the king shudder as the crowd took a step back. Phoebe shivered as it rippled over her but she felt no fear. For her it was like a

blanket: soft and protective

“With no due respect, your Highness, you have no authority to tell me what to do with my Goddess-given mate!” Jason snapped

enunciating each word carefully. No wolf’s authority extended beyond the Moon Goddess

“You have no idea what you’re doing!” the king struggled under the weight of the aura emanating from Jason. “That creature will bring

chaos and destruction on us alll”

“A-actually, your Highness,” Kleio hesitantly stepped forward. “You are

mistaken. Silver wolves are messengers of the Goddess herself. They

appear whenever we have strayed too far from our path. That makes them

Chapter Seventy-One Y heralds of change and realignment. If chaos follows it is only because we refuse to accept the Goddess’s design.”

After the king’s declaration the crowd had become unsettled. Many spent time in Phoebe’s company and found her quite charming but the

king’s words made them wonder if she was a wolf in sheep’s clothing meant to lull them into a false sense of security. With Kleio’s

announcement they were relieved. After all, New Moon was the authority when it came to anything history related

“told you, you read too much,” Mani muttered

The New Moon Luna wasn’t finished, “And 1, for one, find it rather disturbing our King would even suggest his authority surpasses the

Moon Goddess.”

She frowned warily eyeing him as her words sent another shockwave of surprise through the assembled alphas and lunas. While this wasn’t

the first time the royal family had been caught doing questionable things it was the first time anyone openly challenged it. Now, not one

but two pack leaders from the most powerful packs were doing just that

The king hesitated glancing at their audience. Though none spoke out against the princess’s challenge it was clear they didn’t support it

and none of them spoke in support of him either. They clearly expected the king to stand down

“Jason, your father and grandfather were fierce and loyal alphas. Do you really mean to dishonor them by continuing this challenge?” the

king tried to look the picture of a forgiving, benevolent ruler

“Wrong question,” Jason met his gaze without a shred of submission

“The question you should be asking is do you really intend to challenge me?”

Turning Jason marched toward the door. Phoebe’s gaze remained on

Chapter Seventy-One the king as long as he was in sight. His eyes were practically glowing with hatred. Subconsciously she shivered even as

Jason’s embrace tightened

The crowd parted before them and her gaze took in a myriad of different reactions: fear, confusion, respect, awe, but nothing close to the

hatred radiating from their king. For once even Mani was silent

Phoebe expected the royal guards to stop them but none dared approach Jason with his aura preceding them. In fact, most bowed, baring

their necks at his approach and didn’t move until he passed by. Making it to the front door he carried her down the steps to their hastily

summoned limo. At the very least the driver didn’t seem surprised to see them or the state of Phoebe’s undress

Holding the door the warrior bowed to them as they approached

Refusing to release her Jason climbed in and slid across the seat still cradling Phoebe in his lap. Only then did his aura ease and he breathed

a sigh of relief

“Jason?”

“Phoebe, are you sure you’re not hurt?” he caressed her cheek

“Jason, I’m fine. Pm…”

He cut her off with a kiss. Cradling her head he stole her breath with unrestrained passion flooding their bond as his tongue curled and

dominated her mouth

“Jeez, if you’re going to do that we’ll call a cab,” Lucille said as she and Ben slid into their seats across from them
