Our Second Chance

Lucky bas.tard

Chapter 2

Harris’ pov

I am glad that my parents are the way they are. I do want to be Alpha of my pack, but I appreciate that I have been given time to spend with Becca as when we take over we won’t have as much time to just be together the two of us.

I want to make the most of the time we have before we become a family of three. I am so excited about becoming a dad, I know Becca wasn’t sure about the idea at first, but now it is a reality she is excited about becoming a mother.

I know she will be the perfect mum to our pup and any future ones we have. She is just so loving and caring. The whole pack adores her and are glad that she will be their luna. We haven’t even had any bother with jealous females trying to hurt her or catch my eye.

I do have a bit of history with both males and females, I tried not to make any of it public as I didn’t want my mate to go through any pain because of my previous actions. Also, apart from a few pack members, I have kept it to mainly ones outside our pack.

I absolutely love Becca with everything I have. I was so happy to scent her on her 18th birthday. She is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. I had always found her extremely attractive, so I was happy to be mated to the most beautiful girl in the pack, I could see the jealousy from the other males that she was not theirs.

I did feel a bit guilty at times knowing I had a casual relationship with her brother before, but he left before his 18th and didn’t look back. Hopefully, he will stay away, and she will never find out about my past.

I don’t think she would care that I liked men, she is not that type of person, but I think she would care that I banged her brother several times before I found out she was my mate. He was the only one I had slept with multiple times, but we always kept it casual.

I had always wondered if he would end up being my mate, but it was clear he wasn’t when Becca turned out to be mine. I wasn’t disappointed in the slightest, Becca was amazing in every way, but I still thought about Sam every now and again in fondness.

I always felt a bit bad for Becca, even before we became mates. Sam had told me about the pressure on him to be perfect and how Becca was often ignored by their father John as it hurt him to much to look at her as she looked so much like their mum Rosemary.

It made Becca stronger as the only time he would spend with her was during training so she trained twice as hard as anyone else, just so she could spend time with him, make him proud, and finally notice her as her own person.

Sam admitted that Becca was much stronger and more suited to being the head warrior than he was. Sam was strong. Don’t get me wrong, but he was never as motivated as she was. He admitted that she deserved their dad’s praise more than him, but he just couldn’t see that.

I have never seen a man so happy that their child wasn’t a hybrid. I still felt like she felt and smelled like a dragon was inside her, but only her wolf surfaced. I don’t think John would have been able to handle her being a dragon, especially if she looked like Rosemary’s.

He was so attentive to her for the first time since his mate passed away, and I could see how happy it made Becca. She knew as much as I did that the fact she would be luna and the fact she had no dragon was the main reason for it, along with Sam’s absence.

As long as he didn’t start to ignore her again or hurt her in any way, then I was happy with it. He was also very excited about the pup. He knew he let Becca down growing up, and this pup was his way of making up for it.

I just prayed that if we had any girls and they looked like Becca and her mum that he wouldn’t act the same with them because I would be saying something to him. No one gets to hurt my pups, and no one gets to hurt my mate.

I could see how unsure Becca looked when her dad came to us, excited that Sam would finally be coming home. She smiled and acted happy for her dad’s sake, but I could feel through our bond how worried she was that he would not bother with her anymore. Now his perfect son was back.

I admit it was a real possibility, and I didn’t have much faith that it wouldn’t happen taking his previous actions into account. I would speak up if it happened, although I would give it a couple of weeks because he will naturally want to be around Sam more at first when he is back after a year

I myself wasn’t looking forward to it. I knew Sam knew I was mated to his sister, so I hoped he wouldn’t be insensitive enough to say anything in front of her. He loved his sister and worried about her all the time, so I am sure that he wouldn’t, but even the slightest chance had me in a cold swet.

Jax, my wolf, was thankfully blocking those feelings from our mate. He didn’t want her getting upset or suspicious. She was worried enough as it was, and it wouldn’t be good for her or our pup that she was carrying.

When Sam appeared, I noticed that the year had been good to him. He looked even better than before, and he smelled amazing. I felt drawn to him, not as much as I did to Becca, but enough that it made me sit up and take notice.

He walked towards me with a sexy confidence and said something that totally shocked me “mate”. Jax didn’t confirm it, but I didn’t need him to only a mates smell would be this enticing to you, so I quickly closed the gap.

I was only slightly disappointed that I only felt a slight zap from him. The tingles are much stronger with Becca than with Sam. I rationalised that it was because he was my second bond and that it took Raquel the only other person I know with a double bond so long to mark her mates because it wasn’t as strong a pull at first.

I admit that when news came to us all that the princess of the North lycan kingdom was mated to two people, I was jealous. I was one of the many who hoped that I would be as lucky as she was. I really liked the thought of having both a man and a woman as my mate.

When I was bonded to Becca, I didn’t think of it again, but now that it had happened, I was overjoyed about it. Even more so that it was Sam, as I was dangerously close to falling in love with the man before he up and left.

I was only disappointed that so much time had been wasted because he had been away for so long. His lips felt as good as I remembered, and his growl turned me on as I deepened the kiss. Jax was growling in my head, but I was so carried away that I didn’t realise that it was in a negative way.

“What are you doing, human?” He growled at me as the fog cleared.

“Kissing our mate, what is your problem, Jax?” I say back, annoyed.

“He doesn’t feel like our mate Harris, and it is hurting our real mate now put him down and go to her she is having our pup” he yells, bringing me to my senses.

How could I have forgotten our pregnant mate like that. I felt like sh.it when I looked round and saw the pain in her eyes as my mum held her looking at me with so much disappointment. Sam also looks in her direction and goes straight to her as if oblivious to the mood.

“Little sister, can you believe it, we have the same mate” he says, hugging her as tears fall down her eyes.

“What is going on she shouldn’t feel pain if he is your mate?” Mum asks demandingly.

“Sh.it sorry Becca, I think it must just be the shock or something giving you pain, I should have been more sensitive to your condition” Sam says to her, looking upset.

“Sorry baby, I didn’t think it could hurt you when we were given the bond with the goddess, we will get you checked out. The emotions along with the pregnancy could be causing it. Let’s go to the hospital” I say to her.

She just looks at me as if she is numb, and I don’t like it one bit. I don’t want to lose Sam after just discovering him, but I also don’t want to lose Becca or our pup. We may just have to be careful until the baby is born.

I just don’t know if I can wait that long before I make Sam mine. Why would the goddess give him to me if I can not be with him it doesn’t make sense at all. I am sure that we will work it out, though. Becca loves her brother. I am sure she will want us both to be happy.
