Second chance ?

We are dancing when my father mind links me asking me to go to his office. I excuse myself and head to the 4th floor. I quickly pop in to check Eric, and Mishka says, mate was here. I look around the room, and fear grips my heart. He was in my pups room; I feel dread pooling in my stomach. I shake the thought from my head and head to My father's office and knock on the door. Come in, Bub; it’s open. I push the door open, and I’m frozen in place. The most handsome man I have ever seen is standing next to my father. They both look at me. He looks like he is taking everything in and starts to walk towards me. I can’t move; I’m frozen in place. His scent is mouth-watering, and his Eyes omg his Eyes are so pretty, so green my dad snaps me out of my daze and says, Robyn, I want you to meet joe from the eclipse pack. I hold out my hand to shake his, and all I can do is squeak no words, just a squeak. I blush and try again, and all I manage is hi joe laughs and shakes my hand. The itch is intense; I feel it through my body. He lifts my hand to his lips and kisses it, and says, a pleasure to meet you beautiful and guides me into the room.
My father laughs, and Mishka is laughing in my head and rolling around, showing her belly. I scold her and call her a hussy. She says, yeah, but he is our mate, and he is damn fine; I block her out and try to focus on my dad. So what did you need me for, dad? Well, this is Boban's eldest brother, joe. All I can manage is, oh, my dad laughs and hands me a glass of whiskey, then gets up and says, well, I’ll leave you two alone. I swallow hard and sit there, looking at the ice in my glass. Because this man I’m left with is like a Greek Adonis, and I’m well, just me. Joe clears his throat and chuckles.
I look at him, and he smiles. He lifts his hand, and I Flinch looks at me puzzled, then looks at his hand and lowers it and looks at me. I clear my throat and say, well, get it over with. Reject me. He looks like I just slapped him. Why would I reject you? He asked, looking hurt. I shrug and say, well, because I’m broken. He laughs and moves closer to me and whispers in my ear, you are perfect, and mine I gasp. As he says, I’m not rejecting you, Robyn. You are mine, and I am yours. I start crying and sound, but I have a son, and he moves closer to me and tucks a stray hair behind my ear and says he is mine too. I stare at him. I don’t know what to say, and then he leans in and kisses me. It’s slow and sweet, and then he pulls away to see if I’m ok. Joes said he knows it will take time for me to trust him, and he is willing to be patient. I blow out a breath I didn’t realise I had been holding and say I’m sorry and look to the floor. He places a finger under my chin, so I look him in the eye. He said, nothing that happened was your fault, Robyn; please remember that and places a kiss on my forehead and the tip of my nose, then my lips. This kiss is filled with so many unspoken words. I weave my hands around his neck and fall into the kiss; his hands roam my body like he is committing it to memory and pulls me in closer to him. He stops the kiss and holds me. We stay like that in silence for what seems hours. I kiss the underside of his jaw, and he looks down at me and says, why don’t we get back to your party? I nod. Mishka is dancing in my head, and I’m filled with happiness.
*Joes POV *
Wow, she is even more beautiful up close. I’m struggling to contain the raging hard-on. I want to claim her now, but I know I have to take my time. She is skittish. She isn’t ready just yet. Jax wants me to mark her the possessive bastard, but not yet; he can sence her wolf and tells me she is special. I retort, well duh, and she is our mate, of course, she is special Jax huffs and shakes his head in my mind and says, you will see, i***t. I laugh at the silly wolf, ok, I trust you.
I look down at my mate, and she is content in just standing here in my arms; she can kiss like a saint. I could kiss her for days, but we have to go back to her party maybe she will shift with me later. Jax needs a run. I’ll suggest it to her later. I tuck her in under my arm. Now I have her, and I am not letting her go. I guide her out to the hall, where she instinctively goes to Eric’s door and sheepishly looks at me. I nod and follow her in; she walks to his crib and rubs his cheek, and whispers something to him. I don’t catch it. She then turns and looks at me and says, are you sure you want us. I close the distance between us and kiss her. When I pull away, I say I want you both now and forever. Let’s let him sleep and go to the party; she bites her bottom lip, looks down at eric and nods. We leave his room and head towards the party, where we are met with hoots and hollers. My brother slaps me on the back and says, it’s about time you found your mate. Here is to the new future Alpha and Luna of the Luna moon pack.
