My Second Chance Came With A Better Man Novels & Stories

In the past, for Brandon's sake, I had lowered myself to no end. Just before I hung up, I heard the sound of glass shattering on his end. "It's all my fault… I'm the one who lost you…" However, I did not dwell on that call. From the moment I was reborn, there was never going to be anything between us again. In fact, I had something far more important to worry about. The wedding. Three months later, across two lifetimes, I was getting married for the very first time.

I sigh. He chuckles lightly and shakes his head. “I wasn’t always a good guy. Hell, for some time I was a terrible guy.” “What changed you?” I ask curiously. “Oh the usual, heartbreak and exile.” he smiles. I offer him a pity-filled look, and he shakes his head. “It was the best thing to happen to me. I met Adri, my second chance mate.” I look at him in confusion. “Second chance mate? What is that?” “It’s the opportunity to change. And there is no way in hell I’m squandering it,”

The man I loved wasn’t to be mine. But now? Now my bear thought that this cat, the one who was temporary, was my fated. But he’d be leaving and my bear would long for him as I still pined for Dante, making me a disaster of a Beta. Why did things have to be so messed up?

That I would not see her again until far into the future. She had given me a second chance. I would take this second chance and not waste one second, one minute, or one day of it. THE END

"Deal." She falls asleep in my arms and I lie awake for a while, thinking about the journey that brought us here. From that strip club where I found her to this moment, married again with a daughter and a life that's nothing like I planned but everything I needed. My phone buzzes with a text from Jake. "Congrats again, man. You guys are proof that some people really do get second chances." He's right. Some people do get second chances. And if you're lucky enough to get one, you'd better not waste it.

He smiled and let me down. “Don't be like that.” I said, and held his head. “Let's go in.” I smiled naughtily.” “Just cause I want to be a good neighbor.” Chase said as he let go of me. He unlocked the gates with some control in his hand, it slid out of our way, and we both drove in. I breathed in deep and hard, reminding myself that we were going to make the second time around a success. Not everybody was fortunate enough to get two chances with the love of their life, and I was not going to butcher the second chance I got.

He conceded wryly before continuing. “But what I was about to say, my dear impatient Mate, is that I don’t think you are my second chance mate. From my discussion with my wolf, I think you were actually my First Chance Mate but because of the circumstances under which we met, we could not find out and that other lady was to be my second chance at a mate but thank goodness I rejected her. Don’t you think so?” His voice was extraordinarily sweet and gentle and I could only bob my head like a barbie doll.

But now I was just thankful I got a second chance, a do-over, a mulligan. Mother Nature smiled at me. Karma sent me her favor. And God gave me Dan. The End

Choosing our kids. I look back on all I went through. My second chance feels complete. Now I get to live the life I was always meant to have. THE END.
