Betrayed Luna's Second Chance Alphas
Betrayed Luna’s Second Chance Alphas – Chapter 34

-Deidre-

“Will you please go on a date with me? Away from this little town? I want to take you out to some place nice.”

I snuggled closer to him as I felt the vibration of his words under my skin.

“Aren’t we on a date now?” I said as I leaned closer and pressed a k**s against Reid’s chest. He quivered. I loved the reaction. I loved how he trembled with my touch, even after the night we had last night… he did the best he could to make me come four times.

“No. I want to pamper you, spoil you,” Reid said as he ran his fingers through my hair. “I love how your hair looks like spun silk under the sunlight.”

“You have already spoiled me, Beta. I mean, four o*****s?!”

He laughed as he pressed a k**s on my head. “No. Tell me. Will you go out with me?”

“Of course I will, but Reid… you know why I didn’t make my move, right?” I whispered and I suddenly felt scared.

“You know that is why I waited, too, even though I wanted you the moment you walked in with Riley and called my brother a b.itch burger.”

“You heard it?”

“Well, you were whispering, but I was looking at you, I was looking only at you.”

I sighed. “You know what? I think I want another orga.sm, now.”

“You are greedy, aren’t you? But I love it,” he said as he rolled me on top of him, and I m****d when I realized he was already hard.

“Mmm Beta, it doesn’t take you long, does it, to get hard?”

“No, I am always hard when you are nearby.”

I bent down and pressed my lips against him as his hands softly ran along my inner thighs.

“Oh, Rei-” I jumped when my phone screamed. “s**t, who the f**k is calling me now?”

“Don’t take the call.”

I sighed. “I really wish I could, but I have to see who is calling.”

“And you won’t miss Riley’s call even if you are in the middle of the world’s biggest orga.sm, right?”

“Yes,” I smiled as I grabbed the phone. It was Riley, of course. “Are the pups okay? Are you okay? What happened? Did Hiran do anything? What did he say when he saw the pups were gone?”

“He didn’t know. He was in the hospital, because Roman’s Lycan crushed his balls…”

I choked on air laughing. Tears streamed down my face as I coughed.

“You alright? You want some water?” Reid asked and I shook my head no.

“Is that Reid?” Riley asked.

“Yes, it is. Now go on.”

“So is it official?” she asked and I nervously looked at Reid who was still lying on the bed, looking completely comfortable.

“He asked me on a date. Out of town.”

“He is a good guy. Do not break his heart, Dee.”

“Me? I am the one who is going to break his heart?” I said with a snort as Reid nodded with a smile, mouthing YES.

“Yes, because you are awesome, and he can’t take it if you break his heart.”

“What if he breaks mine?”

“I will kill him, but you will get over it. You are stronger, you are awesome.”

“Thanks Riley,” Reid said with a scoff. “Really!”

She laughed. “Okay, I will leave you two to it. I need to get dressed and call the council.”

“Call the council?” I said with a squeak as excitement bubbled inside me.

“Now that the pups are safe, it is about time I break this fu.cking pesky bond with the as.shole,” she grumbled. “Gem wants the stupid mark out of her body, and so do I. Okay, bye, and enjoy your date tomorrow.”

“I will. Call you later?”

She hung up and I turned to Reid.

“Don’t break my heart, Reid.”

“I won’t. I promise I won’t.”

Even though I trusted his words with everything, I didn’t know why I had this uncomfortable twitch in my heart when I heard him say that. I shook my head, trying to push the feelings of discomfort away as I sat next to him.

“And if you have to break my heart, do it the right way.”

Reid looked stunned for a second and he sighed as he pulled me closer to his body, and we stayed silent.

-Roman-

Adrian and I walked out of Riley’s room. I looked at Adrian, and he looked tired, as if talking about what we talked about had drained him.

“Do you- do you want to have breakfast?” I asked, and Adrian gave me a look. He knew I was extending the olive branch. I had a feeling he didn’t want to accept it, though.

“I am going for a run,” Adrian said, without looking at me.

I could almost taste the wave of desperation coming from him. He must really like Riley.

Being a Lycan with royal b***d gave me so many powers and one of that is sensing feelings — I still sometimes wondered why I ignored everything I had felt when I was with Feyona. I knew, way before I had found her with Ramsay, that she wasn’t feeling happy with me. I should have talked. I did blame myself for half of it.

“I will join you, then. I haven’t gone for a run around these parts.”

“No, Rome, I think I would rather run alone,” he said as we went downstairs.

“Then run after eating.”

“What are you? My mother?” he whirled around and stared at me, and I sighed.

“You told me that I shouldn’t make you feel guilty. Now, you are making me guilty.”

“You got the girl. The least you could do is feel guilty for it,” Adrian said without blinking. “You got the girl even though you don’t know what to do with her.”

I growled. He shrugged.

“Am I wrong?”

He wasn’t. I really didn’t know how to respond to that. I blinked. And kept blinking. He laughed and shook his head.

“Don’t worry, I will be alright. I just need to be alone for now,” he said as he turned away. But I knew he wasn’t alright now.

“Do not think about that,” Karl said with a growl. “I already have to share her with you.”

I walked towards the kitchen, when someone kicked the door open. A loud growl echoed inside the pack house. I looked up to see Hiran shuddering. His face was crimson, and the veins in his neck and forehead were throbbing.

“Where are the pups?”

He hadn’t seen me or Adrian yet. I was sure he wouldn’t act like that if he knew we were there.

“Reid, Reid… where the hell is my beta?”

One of the delta warrior stood up from the couch and walked towards Hiran. Hiran grabbed him by his shirt collar.

“Where are the PUPS?”

“I don’t know, Alpha,” the guy trembled. Adrian and I looked at each other.

“You don’t know?” Hiran threw him against the wall and the guy crumbled. He was heavier than Hiran, but Hiran looked like he was ten times bigger than the puny a*s he was last night in front of the Delta man.

“We should go and stop him. He is losing it,” Adrian said and then narrowed his eyes. “And mask your scent. You smell like his mate.”

Everything in me protested when Adrian called Riley Hiran’s mate, but that was the reality.

“Alpha Hiran? What is all the ruckus about? We came here to talk with you, but we haven’t seen you in a while. What the hell is going on in this pack?” I said as I walked to where Hiran was. Adrian followed me. Hiran’s face changed when he saw us. He looked at me and Adrian and then at the young man. I motioned him to get up. He looked really young. He must have shifted like a year or two ago.

“What is your name?”

“I am Chan.”

“Chan, why don’t you ask the cook to give you something to eat, huh? Go on,” Adrian said as he motioned the guy. He looked hesitant. “Your Alpha won’t mind. He has business to talk with us.”

Chan nodded before he walked away, looking pale and scared. I really wanted to just wring this a*s.hole’s neck and be done with him. But for now, I needed him.

“What do you want to talk about?”

“About the production and how to improve it? How to properly make it into a booming business,” Ad’rian said with a shrug. “That is why we are here. It is boring, but the king wants what he wants.” Adrian’s voice was derisive.

“Yeah, who cares about any of this,” I grumbled under my breath, making sure Hiran heard me loud and clear. “I am bored since that club closed.”

“What club?” Hiran looked at us with interest.

“Oh it is a-” Adrian started and paused. “It is not for mated, good guys like you,” Adrian said with a wink in Hiran’s direction. I wanted to pull my teeth one by one than k**s Hiran’s a*s, but… I sighed.

“I would rather k**s Riley’s a*s.”

“I know, Karl, I know. Not the time to mention it, though.”

“It is fine. I have friends who go to clubs like these. I don’t mind. Life gets really boring some days.”

“Yes. And sometimes seeing b***d will give you a rush of adrenaline. Find a better club soon, Adrian,” I said, and he nodded.

“I have been looking. Nothing as exciting as the old one, though.”

Hiran’s eyes gleamed, and I expected him to say something, but he didn’t. The bastard was good. He kept looking at us though, and I was sure he was contemplating.

“Come on, let’s go to my study, and I will show you about the costs, what we do here and everything else.”

“He is not biting,” Adrian mind-linked me.

“He is not dumb, but I could see he was contemplating it,” I said back as we walked towards Hiran’s study. “Find a way to make him take the bait.”

-Riley-

My stomach twisted as I dialed the number to the council. It was said that the council was so busy that they didn’t take every call. Letters were the easier way to reach them — so old school, but maybe because the elders were a bit old school, the still clung on to old practices.

The phone rang and rang.

“Goddess please, let them answer,” I thought to myself, and the familiar dial tone greeted me. I cursed and tried again. And again. I wasn’t going to quit. I had no other things to do anyway.

After what felt like eternity, a woman’s voice answered.

“You are relentless,” the woman said as a way of greeting. “What do you want our help with?”

“I want to reject my mate.”

A pause. “Let me grab the form,” she said and I heard shuffling in the background. “Name?”

“Riley Waites,” I winced when I said my name. My name, together with Hiran’s, tasted bitter, sounded like a punishment.

“Reason?”

“He cheated on me with my best friend.”

She muttered, “The man deserves to get punched in the nose.”

I was somewhat grateful for her rage on my behalf.

“How soon do you want it to happen?” she asked again.

“Very soon.”

“I will try. Most of the elders are lazy, though, and so is the king. He is playing with the kids right now,” she said with a chuckle. “What’s your pack name…”

And there were a lot of questions. When we mated, whether we were fated or chosen, etc etc until she finally sighed.

“Okay, that is it. We will call you back in a day or two about the other details. We will be sending the details to your mate, soon, so be ready to face the backlash,” she said with a concerned voice. “This always happens, Riley. Make sure you have Rom- I mean someone you trust next to you all the time in case your mate’s wolf becomes rabid.”

“He already is, but I can take care of myself. Thank you, and what is your name?”

She chuckled. “Nobody has ever asked my name. I am Alexia.”

“The Queen… OH!”

“Hi Riley. I hope you are alright. How is my son?”

I almost threw my phone down.

I had a feeling she knew…

Make sure you have Rom- She was going to say Roman. I almost died right then and there.

“Take care of yourself, Riley, and the pups are safe.”

“Thank you for that, your majesty.”

“Psh, call me Alex. Bye now.”

“Bye.”
