MY SECOND-CHANCE MATE IS A WOLF HUNTER

‎I stared down his dark eyes.

‎This was my father's dying wish; that I should relinquish my power to my mate.

‎Liam smiled at me as he held me in his arms.

‎"I love you Morning." He said in a sing-song voice.

‎"I love you too." I smiled and moved to kiss him.

‎The kiss was brief but warm.

‎This was love. I never wanted it, but when my father pressured me to get a mate so that he wouldn't die without an heir, I acquiesced.

‎And although my father didn’t live to see it, I was happy that I did as he asked.

‎"With the blessings of the Moon Goddess, I now pronounce you Alpha and Luna of the white claw pack." Elder Octavius said.

‎The pack members in the hall clapped.

‎Liam turned to them with a smile.

‎"As the new Alpha of this pack, I will take it to new heights. This marks the joining of two families, my moonlight pack and the white claw pack!"

‎The applause was even louder, as Liam's personal guards and his pack members clapped widely.

‎As the last full-blooded member of the great white wolf bloodline, I was the heir to the pack. My mother died to the silver of hunters when I was younger, and my father feared for our bloodline when his life was near its end.

‎I wanted to become Alpha of the pack myself, but there were issues and my father insisted that I find a suitable mate instead.

‎I smiled at Liam as he addressed the pack members. He was the alpha of a smaller and weaker pack but he was found suitable. With time, I came to love him and last night we mated for the first time.

‎With the mating ceremony he became the Alpha of the pack, and I was his Luna.

‎"Enough of this! Out of my way!"

‎I turned to see who was making a commotion.

‎A blonde-haired she-wolf emerged from the crowd. She boldly pushed aside anyone that blocked her path.

‎"I'm tired of all this." She said as she brushed her long hair.

‎"Who is that?" I asked in surprise. Liam didn't answer and when I turned back to look at him, his face had turned white.

‎The girl climbed up to the altar and hugged Liam.

‎The entire hall went silent.

‎The girl kissed Liam fully on the lips.

‎"Babe, you said the ceremony wouldn't take long. Why am I still here?" She said.

‎Liam let out nervous laughter as a murmur washed over the crowd.

‎I froze. My mind couldn't understand what was happening.

‎"Olivia stop playing around. Thank you for the congratulatory kiss." Liam said as he let out another forced laugh.

‎‎"Congratulatory kiss? Of course." I said to myself as relief washed over me.

‎I moved closer to Liam, but the girl still hugged him.

‎"Liam, who is this? Is it your sister? Please you're embarrassing us in front of the pack." I said. To my surprise, my voice came out as a plea.

‎In my heart I was begging the Moon Goddess that it was really his sister.

‎The crowd watched us closely and waited.

‎Elder Octavius spoke out.

‎"Alpha Liam, can't you talk to her later? We are still in the middle of the mating ceremony." He said.

‎"I-." Liam started to talk but he was interrupted.

‎"Hold on here. What are you guys talking about?" Olivia said in a very audible voice.

‎"Babe, you said that after you became Alpha that there would be no need to hide anymore. You know I'm tired of meeting you in secret because of some crazy whore."

‎The entire crowd heard Olivia's words and went silent again.

‎"Olivia, not now." Liam said quickly.

‎"No I'm really tired Liam!" Olivia said. "I mean you're already Alpha right?"

‎"Yes." Liam said.

‎"Then there's no need to hide anymore. For the Moon Goddess's sake, I've been waiting for weeks now! I mean you told me yourself how you just needed to fuck the crazy whore, and you were done. You also told me you did that yesterday, and you didn't even enjoy it."

‎Olivia placed her hand on Liam's face and tilted it to her.

‎"That's why you came back to get the good stuff from me that same night." Olivia said in a seductive voice.

‎My hand fell to my side and the flowers Liam gave me fell to the ground.

‎I felt a sharp pain in my heart, but I still refused to believe what I was hearing.

‎Yet I could remember the night before. It was my first time with a man. After Liam was done, he left the room, and I was confused because he had been urging us to mate even before the ceremony for weeks.

‎Was that why he left? Did he find me disgusting and go for another woman?

‎I shook my head and moved to pull Olivia away from Liam.

‎As I touched her, Liam moved quickly and slapped my hand away. He had a disgusted expression on his face.

‎"This isn't really happening." I said to myself as one of Liam's personal guards stepped up between us.

‎‎"Liam, tell me this is a joke." I pleaded. That was the only explanation. He must have come up with an elaborate joke to mess with me.

‎Olivia laughed at me.

‎"The real joke is you. I heard about your barbaric character. Did you really think my Liam would want you?"

‎"Your Liam?" The words came out of my mouth with difficulty. Still, I desperately needed to believe anything apart from what I was hearing.

Liam had spent so many nights professing love to me and me alone.

And now I was hearing something else in front of my entire pack.

‎"Yes, my Liam." Olivia said and turned Liam's face back to her.

She smiled slyly.

“He had been mine long before you came along.”

She touched her hand to her stomach.

“And I’m pregnant with his baby to prove it.” She said as she kissed him, and he kissed her back.
