The Alpha's Special Mate

Jace's POV

Ever since I laid eyes on Skylar in the forest I haven't been able to get her out of my mind. Every time I smell her delicious apple cinnamon scent it sends my wolf into a frenzy howling, purring, and chanting something I can't quite make out. When ever me and Skylar touch I feel sparks and fireworks flow through out my body from where ever she touches me. I can't seem to get her our of my head and when I try to I always seem to run into her, it seems like something is pulling us together by an invisible thread. Whenever I see Skylar it sends my wolf and my heart into overdrive, as the days pass and the more time Skylar and I spend together the more intense the feelings and sparks become and the more I don't like any other male looking or touching her. I know she feels them too I just wish I knew if she felt the same way about me as I do her.

I awoke to the most delicious scent of apples and cinnamon pounding on my door asking me to meet her in the training grounds for some extra training. I yell through the door that I'll meet her at the training grounds in 10 minutes. I shower and get dressed in record time, as I'm heading to the training grounds I realize that I am subconsciously following her scent there. Once at the training grounds I watch her finish her run before we begin working on some extra training, we work on some offensive and defensive moves as well as working on some wrestling moves just to keep things interesting. I trained with Skylar for 3 hours with her beating me 80% of the time, once she pins me for the last time strong sparks flow through our bodies and our eyes go wide letting me know that she feels them too. I flip us over so I am now staring down at her, after the shock fades from her eyes it gets replaced with happiness, confusion, and wonder.

“Mate” I say breathlessly to her.

“Mate? But how can we be mates when my mate rejected me?” Skylar whines in disbelief

When she mentions that bastard I growl "MINE" at her.

She looks at me and hesitantly puts her hand on my cheek calming me down instantly as I lean into her amazing touch. As we lay there staring at each other Lucas my beta walks in and clears his throat which makes me growl as me and Skylar scramble to stand awkwardly side by side. Skylar then excuses herself and goes to leave but before she can I grab her hand and ask her to meet me in my office in an hour so I can talk to her, she nods to me as she leave the training grounds and heads back to the pack house.

“What do you want Lucas?” I growl out through gritted teeth as I glare at him for interrupting.

“We received a call from the Silver Moon Pack requesting our help to train their wolves. It seems that they need some extra training seeing as they are having a difficulty defending themselves from some increased rogue attacks” my beta informs me

“When do they want us there?” I question

“Monday, which gives you the time to tell Skylar that we have to go and train her old pack.” he says to me scared of the though of how Skylar will react.

I lightly chuckle at him for a moment before leaving to go and shower and get dressed before I have to meet Skylar in my office to explain to her about is being mates. Then I need to come up with a way to tell her about is having to go and train her old pack and to brace for her reaction knowing it will not be a good one. After I shower and get dresses I head to my office to wait for Skylar to get there and not even 5 minutes later I hear a soft knock on my door.

“Come in” I say and in enters a very confused Skylar. I look at her with adoration in my eyes as I look her up and down enjoying the way she looks and seeing just how much she has changed since she's been with us. As she sits in one of the chairs in front of my desk she clears her throat nervously before asking me what's been nagging at her mind since I called her my mate.

“How can we be mates when I already have a mate even though he rejected me?” Skylar says with immense sadness at the recollection of what her first mate did to her.

“Well it means that I am your second chance mate.” I state, when I glance at her I see her staring at me with confusion clear as day on her face.

“How can that be I thought second chance mates were a myth?” She says looking at me with confusion and disbelief swirling in those beautiful eyes of hers.

“No it's not a myth darling every werewolf is born with two mates and if their first mate rejects them and the mate that got rejected accepts it their bond breaks. Now when that happens the rejected mates bond with their second mate starts to form and only the mates that are rejected get the chance with their second mate.” I say while looking into her bright reddish gold eyes.

When I finish talking I let her think about what I just told her and after a solid 30 minutes of silence she looks up at me with the widest eyes that had fear and sadness swirling in them as they were filled with tears that were threatening to spill over and the next thing I know she's running out of my office and into the woods. I chase after her and into the clearing about a mile behind the pack house knowing that she'll be there because that is the only place she goes when she's upset. “Darling why did you run away from me?” I ask as gently as I can so that I don't scare her away

“Because I know what you were going to do I know that you were going to reject me just like he did because who could ever want someone like me?” Skylar said insecurely as she started to cry again

“I would never ever reject you love, you are the most beautiful, sexy, confident, and perfect person I know and I am extremely grateful that you are my mate “cause I wouldn't want anyone else to be my mate but you, no one would ever measure up to you your perfect.” I say looking into her eyes so she can tell I'm telling her the truth then I say the one thing I know she will like.

“I, Jace Miller, accept you Skylar Rose as my mate and future Luna of the Night Shade Pack.” I say lovingly and nervously not knowing what she will say or react.

She just stood there staring at me in bewilderment and then she hugged me and said the words that would make me fall even more in love with her.

“I, Skylar Rose accept you Jace Miller as my mate and Alpha.” she said quietly but being a werewolf I heard her and looked at her with so much love. I slowly moved one hand to cup her cheek and the other I wound in her gorgeous blood red hair and kissed her softly and with so much passion and relief when she started to kiss back, which made me so happy I deepened the kiss and pressing her against me even more. Reluctantly I pulled away and pressed my forehead to hers panting and admiring my mate's oh so perfect features before walking back to the pack house hand in hand.

Once back at the pack house we head back to my office and I have her sit in my lap as I hug her waist and she leans her back into my chest, I bury my face in the crook of her neck and inhale her delicious scent calming myself before I have to break the news to her.

“So, how do you feel about us being mates?” I ask hesitantly

“I'm happy that we are mates and I couldn't be more grateful to have you in my life.” she says sheepishly making her blush

I tense up and she knows something is up and she turns in my lap so she's sitting sideways with her head on my shoulder looking up at me with worry in her eyes before she finally asks me “What's wrong babe you're tense all of a sudden?”

“Huhhh, I have something to tell you" I say nervously not looking at her “Okaii what is it I can handle it just tell me.” she says looking at me with love as she puts a hand to my cheek. I lean into her touch and take a deep breath before telling her the bad news.

“Alright now darling please don't get mad at me but we got a call about going and helping train a pack who had been having increased rogue attacks.” I say

"kayy now why would I get mad at you for it.......wait.........what pack is it?” She demands through gritted teeth with so much power radiating off of her that he eyes start to glow a very bright red.

“Ummm......it's your old pack the Silver Moon Pack” I tell her while looking at the ground. I felt her get off of my lap and pace around my office until I heard her growl and then a thud. Startled I look up and see Skylar pulling her now injured hand out of the wall across from my desk with a very pissed off expression on her face. I get up and run over to her and wrap her in a big tight hug and she starts to calm down as she breaths in my scent, when she fully relaxes I guide her to the couch in my office and sit her on it so I can examine the extent of the damage she did to her hand.
