Chapter 31: Her Second Chance Alpha

I definitely saw more of my Alpha and Luna then I needed to when I opened that door to the Luna Office. Sasha immediately started snickering at me as I stood there with my mouth open just staring at the couple. I snapped out of my momentary haze and mumbled my apologies and quickly closed the door behind me.

I press my ear to the door hoping to hear anything that is said. Eric had shared what happened to him when he interpreted them, he said Knight went feral and was ready to kill him, so I hoped that we would not be as angrier this time, since he had already marked her. But there still was no guarantee.

I knew all these rooms were soundproof, but that did not stop me from trying to listen in anyway. Suddenly, the door opened and I lost my footing for a moment as the only support I had holding me up was from the door.

I can feel myself blushing as heat rises in my cheeks, I can feel the heat that is radiating from me due to my embarrassment of being caught trying to ease drop by the two of them.

Holly's laughter is contagious as she closes the door behind her, causing me to also laugh some.

"Hey, it is okay you know." She says with a smile "So what is it that we need to finish up?" Holly asks as she leads us down the staircase.

"Umm, they need you to go over the menu, I think, for tomorrow's dinner." I said, trying my hardest not to stumble over my words. "Oh, and I wanted to see if you would come with me when Doc goes to do the examination on Liam." I asked Holly, nervous that she would say no.

Holly stops walking and turns to face me, "Yes I will. I know it has been hard for the two of you to be apart from one another. Hopefully, Doc will be able to find anything that can prove our theory."

I have been down there every day to see Liam since he was first locked in the cells. It has been difficult, to say the least, to get to know Liam while he is locked up and to figure out what exactly happened to him in the week or so that he has no memories of.

I learned Liam was born a rogue. His parent's pack did not approve of them being mates. His dad was a Beta and his mom was an omega. The pack thought that he needed a stronger mate and wanted him to reject Liam's mom. The two refused to reject each other. Instead, they opted to become rogues to stay together.

I am pulled out of my thoughts as we enter the kitchen and the smell of amazing food hits me. The cooks were definitely going all out for tomorrow. They made sample dishes of each item for the four of us to taste. Luna Alison and Ella were already there and had started trying the first couple of dishes as we walked in.

"There you two are." Luna Alison says, gesturing for Holly and I to join them.

"You have to try the Shrimp Alfredo, it is amazing," Ella comments as she places another fork full in her mouth.

After an hour of trying all the dishes laid out, we all agreed that the pasta was a must. Holly chose a soft white cake with cool whipped icing and sliced strawberries for dessert.

After the tasting, we all walked into the back garden where the ceremony was going to take place the following night. It had been transformed in just a few hours with all the decorations that had been used. There was a stage that had been built at the very edge of the garden and it was covered in flowers and lights. There were also fairy lights and garlands hung above our heads.

Tomorrow the rest of the tables and chairs will all be set up along with the dance floor and buffet tables.

"Wow, this is so beautiful." Holly says as she walks into the middle of the garden. Looking at everything that has been put out so far.

At one of the tables, several Omegas were putting together centerpieces for the tables together. The pieces were blue mason jars with twine bows that were filled with white baby's breath flowers

"Sara, I am on my way to the cells. Do you want to be there?" Doc asks me through a mindlink.

"Yes, we will be there in just a few minutes," I said, and cut the link.

"Doc is ready and heading down to do the test," I said and Holly nodded, taking my hand.

"We will catch back up with you in a little while."She says as she leads the way to where the cells are.

Once we walked in through the heavy metal doors we were stopped by one of the warriors.

"Luna, I'm sorry, but I can't let you in here." He says as he bows his head to her.

Smiling sweetly at the warrior, Holly says, "I am here to support my friend with her mate. I will not leave, you are more than welcome to join us." she says, and she simply continues to walk down the hall, leaving both the warrior and I standing there with our mouths agap.

"Well, are you two coming or not?" She asked as she turned around at the door that leads to the cells.

"Alpha Jason is going to have my head." The warrior says under his breath.

How she managed to hear that I don't know, but Holly burst into laughter. "Don't worry, I will handle the Alpha." She says and walks through the door now.

We hear a clang as one of the metal cell doors is closed, the sounds of a key turning and locking the door back into place. Walking down the hallway, I am hit by Liam's scent. Sasha is instantly excited to see her mate again and quickly comes forward, pushing me to the back of my mind.

She runs forward to Liam's cell, stopping once her eyes land on his handsome face. His blue eyes shine in the dim light and slowly darken as his wolf comes to the surface as well.

"Sha" His wolf says softly, reaching his hand through the bars, moving a piece of my hair that had fallen into my face.

*(Sha- Cajun French: Term of affection meaning darling, dear, or sweetheart.)*

Sasha purrs at the endearment that he calls us whenever we are together. She wants nothing more than to be in his arms and finally be with him. I finally am able to push myself forward and take control from my wolf.

"What is going on?" He asks as Liam also takes back control from his wolf and looks at the doctor that is now standing inside his cell.

"It's just a medical exam. We are hoping that maybe something will show that you were under the control of black magic and your actions that day were not your own." Holly says as she watches us.

Liam instinctively bows his head to her and doesn't make any eye contact with Holly. This is the first time the two have been in the same room since the attack. Even though Holly has advocated for Liam, I can tell she is still extremely wary of Liam and his intentions.

Liam gives my hands a squeeze through the bars before he steps back to the make shift cot so the doctor can do the examination. I watch quietly from the other side of the cell as Doc pulls out a needle and several tubes for a blood sample. Liam places his arm out and Doc draws his blood, filling each vial and placing it back in his bag.

Doc begins his routine exam and as he goes through checking over Liam, he asks him many questions. Does he know what day it is? The Year? Questions about his family and what is the last thing he can remember? Liam answers them all, knowing the date and telling everyone about his family. His last memory of being in the club in Shreveport but nothing else.

"Well, I am not sure if anything will show up in the lab work, but we will see. Based off of what you have told us all about your memory loss, I think it could be possible that black magic may have been used on you." Doc says as he places his stethoscope back in his bag with the blood samples.

"Thank you for at least trying." Holly says as the doctor steps out of the cell.

Just as the guard is about to close the door once again, but Holly stops him.

"Give them a moment." She says as she looks at me. A small smile on her lips. Liam is flabbergasted and so am I.

"Well, are you going in to him or are you ready to leave?" She says, her smile growing even bigger when I don't move.

"But..Jason..." I don't get to finish the statement. Holly takes my hands in hers as she looks between Liam and I.

"I will deal with Jason. You two have been forced to stay apart for long enough. Plus, Andra says he is not a threat." She says as she looks at Liam. "I trust Andra's judgment on this. Go see your mate."

Looking back through the bars of the cell at Liam, I see my shock mirrored on his face. Wrapping my arms around my friend, I couldn't help the tears that leaked from my eyes at her kind gesture.

Letting go, I ran inside the cell into the arms of my mate for the very first time. Tingles erupt all throughout my body wherever our bare skin touches.

A sob escapes me and Liam softly strokes my hair trying to calm me back down.

"Luna, I can't let her stay in there." The warrior tries to argue with Holly.

Peaking at them through my hair, I see Andra come to the surface as Holly eyes the warrior, her eyes swirl with gold.

"Has he been a problem during the time he has been in the cells? Has he caused any trouble?" She growls out, her Alpha aura spilling from her body.

The warrior bows his head, "No Luna. He has been a model prisoner."

"Then let them have a few minutes to actually be together. They have been forced to be apart long enough. I don't think a few minutes will hurt." She says "If Jason has anything to say, then I will deal with it when the time comes." She adds.

Holly glances back at Liam and I, "Don't make me regret this." She says, looking directly at Liam. Her aura suffocatingly strong, her eyes almost solid gold.

"Yes Luna", Liam states bowing his head slightly. "Thank you", he adds as he glances back at me, his eyes dancing with happiness.

The door to the cell closes and locks as both Holly and the warrior leave. Liam crashes his lips into mine in a kiss that had so much built up need and desire that my body responds instantly.

He softly bites my bottom lip to get me to open for him and then our tongues are in a battle of dominance over the kiss.

Sasha is purring so loudly that it wouldn't surprise me if he was able to hear her too. After a few minutes of our make-out session, he pulls away and pulls me down to his cot, sitting me on his lap as he strokes my back.

"Sara, are you sure that this is what you want? What if I never get out of the cells? It's not fair to you to have you mated with someone you won't get to be with." Liam says, his voice soft and hollow.

Placing both my hands on either side of his face, I forced his eyes to reach mine. " I told you I don't care. The Moon Goddess chose you for me for a reason." I said, my voice holding a seriousness to it.

"I want to be yours. Holly also wouldn't have left me here alone with you if she thought that you would never get out." I said with a smile.

Liam kissed my lips again. "Okay, but we have to wait on mating, at least until I am out of here. I don't want our first time together to be in a dirty cell." A mesmerizing smile graces his face.

Leaning forward, he softly brushes the hair away from the side of my neck and peppers my marking spot with small kisses that leave my entire body on fire for him. I feel the tips of his canines as they graze over my spot, sending a shiver down my spine. Then a flash of burning pain enveloped me as he sank his teeth into me. The sensation is quickly followed by a warmth that flows all the way through my body.

Stars dance in my vision as he retracts his teeth from my neck, licking the wound to help seal it. My gums now tingle as the urge to mark him as mine becomes too powerful and I have to sink my canines into the side of his neck. Claiming and marking him as mine forever.
