Chapter 1

Prologue - Meeting my second chance mate

Leah’s POV

My life story was nothing new. I was a pack omega. My mother died giving birth to me and my father didn’t want a girl, so I was sent to the pack orphanage. When I turned eighteen, it was revealed that the Alpha was my mate. My heart broke when he rejected me and chose another high-ranked wolf for his mate, but I survived and left the pack grounds for good. I didn’t have any real family there, so there was no reason for me to stay.

In the meantime, I found a couple of odd jobs working as a waitress, but they didn’t last very long, as the Alpha kept calling me at work, demanding that I return. Each time I would get fired because my personal life interfered with my work, I would pick up my things, pack up my old car and drive to the next town a little further away from the pack. There I would start over in the hopes that this time things would be different.

Today was yet another of my very bad days. I spent most of the night tossing and turning because of nightmares. Eli had rejected me all over again, and I was standing there on my birthday in the middle of the pack, looking at everybody who was looking at me. Their eyes filled with disgust and hatred, and all I could think about was crawling into a hole and dying.

Thanks to my wonderful night, I was late for work yet again and it was no surprise when my boss called me to his office and fired me without any notice. He was, however, kind enough to inform me that my boyfriend had called … Again.

I had no idea how Eli kept finding me, but then again, I wasn’t trying that hard to hide. I asked if I could use the phone before I left the wayward diner for the last time and although he frowned, he gave me privacy to make my call.

“Hello,” Eli answered on the first ring and I realized he must have saved the number of the diner.

“Eli, thanks again for getting me fired!” I shouted down the line. When I originally dialed his number, I wasn’t going to say anything about getting fired, but I was hurt and angry and couldn’t keep it in. He rejected me! Why wouldn’t he just let me go?!

“Come home, Leah.” He sounded almost heartbroken, but I knew if it was that, he was most probably faking it. Eli didn’t care about anybody other than Eli.

“No!” I slammed the phone down and stormed out of the office and out of the diner without so much as a goodbye. Why would I say anything? They never cared about me. Nobody ever cared about the young girl who came into the diner looking for work. If the diner owner was a certain type of male, he would try his luck, but I would soon put him in his place. Most of the cooks were either older women or men who belonged in a damn pigsty!

The people who frequented the roadside diners were either truckers or the odd tourist families who decided to take the scenic route on their way to their perfect holiday. That was why I chose the diners I worked at. They were slightly off the beaten path, but close enough that I could at least make a living from the tips I earned.

I slipped behind the wheel of my car and leaned my head back, closing my eyes. If I had known I was going to be fired today, I would have stayed in bed and saved on gas! Taking a deep breath, I opened my eyes and pulled out of the parking lot.

There was no reason to waste any more time. I had to get packed and had to find a job. My savings were completely depleted since Eli had become more insistent of late and I couldn’t hold onto a job long enough to put away some money.

It didn’t take long to pack my stuff in my suitcase and I dropped it in the back of my car. Looking at the blinking sign of the motel as it announced that there were vacancies before, I pulled out of the parking lot for the last time. I had no idea where to go. I knew which way I wasn’t going to go, even if I sometimes wondered if going back wouldn’t be the better option.

I wondered if it was even worth going to the next town to find a job or if it wouldn’t be better for me to drive through to some big city. Would it be tougher for Eli to find me in a big city? How long will it be before he comes to find me himself?

I had been driving for a couple of hours when I found a roadside diner and decided I needed something to eat and I seriously needed to stretch my legs. I walked into the diner and the smell of cooked meat immediately caught my attention. I was hungrier than I had realized and I found a corner booth. Slipping in behind the table, an older waitress came to take my order.

She was friendly enough, or at least, I knew the fake friendliness all of us used with customers. I had not met a waitress who worked at one of these diners who was truly happy … I heard a couple of male voices come through the front door and ducked behind the seat. The last thing I wanted to deal with right now was some guy wanting my number.

That was one of the things I never understood about Eli’s rejection. I wasn’t bad looking. In fact, I’ve had many people compliment the combination of my ocean-blue eyes and jet-black hair. One of the waitresses I worked with before was convinced I had dyed my hair, but it was my natural hair colour.

Since I never really knew my parents, I had no idea who I got my looks from. I was fairly thin, but I was fit thanks to the jobs I did. People had no idea how much it took to be on your feet all day as a waitress.

The men sat down a couple of booths away from me, and the waitress brought them some menu, smiling brightly this time. That’s when I realized she would be on her way to getting my order! I closed my eyes and swallowed as she stepped up to me and gave me her fake smile, asking if I was ready to order. For a moment, I pondered rushing out the door, but then my stomach growled so loud that the entire diner went dead silent!

“Coffee and some pancakes, please.” I was in shock and, as that was my standard favourite, it was the first thing that came to mind. I kept my eyes locked on the menu and when she wanted to take it, I held on. “I might want something else later.” I smiled.

From the corner of my eye, I could see the four males and I almost breathed a sigh of relief when I realized none of them were paying any attention to me. One thing was for sure … I wasn’t going to apply for a job here! I quickly ate my pancakes and finished off my coffee and looked around for the bathroom, but just as I stood up, I bumped into a brick wall! I was sure it was a wall because my hand touched the small bricks. But these bricks moved! My eyes shot over to where my hand was resting on the abdomen of the most handsome man I had ever seen in my entire life.

“Mate.” His eyes turned black, and I shook my head. I was hallucinating! Wasn’t I? Power radiated off him as he frowned. I was frozen in place. Captured by his beautiful face, my hand was still lazily resting on his abdomen when my wolf howled from deep inside.

“Mate …” She drooled and my eyes widened.

“Uhm, I’m sorry,” I quickly excused myself, and in one swift move, I dropped money on the table and rushed out of the front door. How on earth was this possible when I had a mate? My hand fidgeted with the keys as my eyes darted from the diner door to my car door and back. My mind was going a mile a minute as I wondered if he would follow me. Would he claim me?

No, surely an Alpha wouldn’t want me. I jumped in behind the wheel and pulled the car out of the parking lot so fast that the tires screeched. As I looked into my rear-view mirror, I saw him rush out of the diner. Would he shift and chase after me?!

The thought made my heart race as I realized that I never actually checked on the different pack territories. I had walked into the territory of a strange pack! They could have killed me! He could have killed me! But … He was my mate … Had I just run away from my second chance mate?

I heard the howls in the forest on all sides of the road and wondered what the wolves were saying. Did he ask them to look for me? What were they going to do if they found me? NO! I couldn’t be found! If I was going to live to see the end of this forsaken day, I had to get as far away as possible! I stepped on the pedal and my car sped up as I manoeuvred my way through the twists and turns of the single-lane road.

I had finally run out of luck and as I turned a corner, I was faced with a pack of very angry wolves blocking the entire road. I slammed on the brakes and sat in my car staring at them. How on earth was I going to get out of this one? If only I had listened to Eli and gone home!

I would be heartbroken, but at least I would be alive! The silver-grey wolf stepped forward and started to shift back to his human form and I slammed my car into reverse and stepped on the pedal. There was no way I was going to get eaten today! That couldn’t possibly have been my destiny! But I didn’t get far when the wolf jumped in front of my car again and this time, I had to stop dead in my tracks. I was surrounded and they were enormous.

These wolves were easy twice the size of Eli, who was the largest in our pack.

I watched as he shifted and walked over to my window. His black hair and brown eyes were mesmerizing and had me captured the moment I looked out of the window beside me. He indicated to me to open the window and I shook my head. My window hadn’t rolled down in forever. My car was old. Then he indicated that I should unlock my door and I closed my eyes, swallowing hard to get rid of the knot in my throat before opening the door and slipping out of my car.

“I’m so sorry, I didn’t know I was in your territory!” The words were out of my mouth and I hated that my voice was shaking so badly. I had my hands clinched tightly together to stop them from shaking and my eyes were fixed on the ground when he lifted my chin with his index finger.

“My eyes are up here.” He looked amused, but I didn’t catch the joke. All I could think about was how damn stupid I was.

Chapter 1 - A new home
Leah’s POV“Hi,” He smiled. My mind was racing a mile a minute, and I almost melted at the sight of his gorgeous dimples! “I’m Sebastian, and you are?” I gaped for a moment. I had completely forgotten my name and must have looked utterly ridiculous in front of this Greek god! How was it even possible that he could be my mate?“Uhm … Leah.” I finally got the words out. I had no idea whether I was frozen in fear or because his eyes turned the most brilliant blue I had ever seen. He had somehow calmed his wolf down enough that it retreated, but mine was purring so much that I almost couldn’t hear anything else.“So, you are my mate?” He took a step back and gave me a once over and I blushed bright red. I had been driving in my incredibly hot car and must have looked simply disgusting!“Thank you moon goddess!” I thought to myself. Of course, I would meet the most incredible man on the day I looked my absolute worst!“Cat got your tongue, honey?” A female voice purred behind him and I sud

Chapter 2 - Family could be everything
Leah’s POVFor a moment, I wondered how it would feel to see Eli and his precious Jewel while I was standing in the arms of Sebastian, but I quickly wiped that stupid idea from my thoughts as I suddenly started to wonder what kind of pack took in a rogue just like that without any questions. Eli sure as hell wouldn’t have and then take them into the packhouse and show them all the weak spots.“Don’t even think about running.” Sebastian’s voice pierced through my thoughts as he pointed to a man who was walking closer. “This, my lovely little wolf is Carl. He will be your Gamma.” Sebastian smiled broadly as he hugged the man and I frowned. Only Luna’s had Gammas protecting them. Oh, goddess! Was he…? “This is the future Luna, Carl.” FUCK! He did! That was just perfect! He had basically told his Gamma that he had already accepted me, and I rolled my eyes.“She doesn’t seem to agree with you, Sebastian.” Carl laughed and took my hand to greet me, but Sebastian was fast. I mean, supernatur

Chapter 3 - Differences
Leah’s POVLife in Sebastian’s pack is entirely different than life in Eli’s. For starters, the pack dining tables are packed out in such a way that there is no real division of ranks, whereas, at home, your rank is clearly defined by the table you sit at. The closer you were to the Alpha’s table, the more important you were. Emily showed me to the seat right next to Sebastian, and he held out the chair for me. Nobody had ever held out a chair to me before, which made me blush bright red. I was an omega for goddess’s sake, but I told them I was a rogue. I rolled my eyes internally at myself for being so damn hung up on rank.The food was brought out and everybody dug in all at once, which reminded me of home. There, everybody had to wait for Eli to fill his plate first before anyone else could touch the food. As if there wouldn’t be enough for the Alpha! People were happily talking, eating, and drinking, but I could feel their eyes constantly looking my way. I was sure that most of th

Chapter 4 - A surprise visitor
Leah’s POVI thought it would be as easy as grabbing my keys and making a run for it, but boy was I mistaken! Not only did Sebastian keep an eagle eye on my damn keys, but Carl kept an eagle eye on my every movement. Over the next couple of days, I spent some time getting to know Sebastian’s family while sussing out how far Carl would go to look after me, and even when I thought I had gotten rid of him, he would pop up out of nowhere! The man was so good at his job, it was damn scary! The only times I didn’t see him was when I was in Sebastian’s care, so to speak. The rest of the time, he was there in the background. Somewhere. I was just starting to feel a little lost when Emily appeared to take me on a shopping trip. Her excuse was that she saw my bag of clothes and “no Luna in her right mind would be caught dead with only one bag of clothes”.To prove her point, she took me to the beta floor, and as we walked into the room, I must have looked like a shell-shocked baboon, gaping at

Chapter 5 - Eli found me!
Leah’s POVSo, I wasn’t really going to tell them, even if they were the nicest people ever. I was ashamed. It was the first time I actually admitted to myself that I was ashamed that I was rejected. When I was a young omega, I daydreamed, just like all the other girls, about finding my perfect mate, falling madly in love, and living happily ever after. That daydream was crushed the moment my destined mate called me a useless omega. I still remember the ice running through my veins as shock set in. I waited in shock for him to say the dreaded words. “I reject you,” But he never did.Over the years that I had been hiding from him, I wondered over and over why he wanted me to go back home. I knew for a fact he would never leave his chosen mate. Not only would it bring shame to our pack, but it would also put the pack in danger of a war with her family. Many wolves would die unnecessarily, many important lives would be lost over one man’s greed.“What was the outcome of the meeting?” Emi

Chapter 6 - A long road or the wrong road?
Leah’s POV I pulled into a motel parking lot fully intending to book in, take a shower, have something to eat, and hit the road within the hour, but I made the huge mistake of lying on the bed and closing my eyes just for a moment until the shower water heated up. I arrived just as the sun was rising and woke up just as it was going down! I was still so tired even after sleeping for just over twelve hours that I checked the map and decided I had come far enough on my first day. I could spend the night and hit the road early in the morning. I took a second shower and slipped underneath the covers. My head hardly touched the pillow and I was out like a light. I was up just before sunrise and on the road as it peaked out from behind the mountains. I knew this territory pretty well. I came here in the first month after leaving Eli. It was mostly wilderness and unclaimed territory and if I disappeared into the woods nobody would find me until I was ready to be found, but I didn’t want to

Chapter 7 - Captured! Again!
Sebastian’s POV “Tell me I didn’t just hear you …” I held my hand in the air at the sound of Emily’s voice. “What’s done is done!” I growled, but I couldn’t look her in the eye. “Sebastian!” Her voice was filled with so much emotion that it cut right through me, and she sat down on the couch looking defeated. “Didn’t you lose enough last time?” Tears started to roll down her cheeks as the memory of what happened flooded my mind. Flashback The sound of the shot echoed throughout the room and I kept my eye on the target for a split second just to make sure she fell. I gave myself just a moment to take a deep breath before I needed to disassemble my gun and get out of there. I had done what those bastards asked of me. When I originally refused their orders, they took my mate prisoner and threatened to kill her, but now that I had done what they asked, they should return her unharmed. I never trusted the vampires, but I had no other choice but to ask for their help! As I rushed into

Chapter 8 - A tournament ...
Leah’s POV I didn’t have to open my eyes to know that the two men were in the same room as me, and they were probably glaring at each other. How I wished I could just evaporate right at this very moment. I wondered if I stayed quiet and pretended to still be knocked out if they would eventually give up and leave, but for the moment, they were clearly not going anywhere and the air was getting thicker and thicker with tension. I heard the elevator ping and soon felt a needle in my arm. I instantly started to feel better and wished I could thank the doctor personally, but if I moved now my jig would be up and they would both bombard me. I just knew they would immediately demand a decision and the only decision I wanted to make was how the hell to get out of there! I didn’t want to see Sebastian’s disappointment and broken heart, and I sure as hell didn’t want to see Eli’s face in general! I almost burst out laug

Chapter 9 - Bland food!
Leah’s POV Eli wasn’t happy at the prospect of having a Gamma from another pack to look after me, but I just told him that either Carl would come with me or I would have a straightforward decision to make and that quickly put Eli in his place. I couldn’t understand why the man was so adamant to have me back until I walked through the doors of my old packhouse. “What the fuck is she doing here?” His mate shrieked from the top of the grand staircase and I nearly burst out laughing at the sight of her overly extravagant gown! Did she think she was going to intimidate me by wearing that? She looked more like she belonged in the corner, covered with tinsel than a Luna! “Please don’t make this any more difficult than it already is.” Eli quickly rushed to her side and then suddenly seemed torn as his eyes met mine. He had to prove to me that I was going to be his priority if he wanted me to stay. Walking down two steps toward me, it almost looked as if he was about to try and tear himself
