Our Second Chance

No going back

Chapter 7

Rebecca’s pov

When I finally wake up, I realise that I am in the hospital again, I have been here so many times the last couple of months that I can recognise it in an instant. I can see the sun is not up yet and that Luna Sylvia is sleeping in the chair next to me, I can see the trail of tears that have dried on her cheeks.

I can not feel my child moving, and my stomach is now flat, I know I have lost him or her. The fact that I no longer feel connected to Harris is the only good that has come out of this. I should have rejected him weeks ago, and then my child may still be alive.

“You need to go to our mate Rebecca, if he marks us again, our bond will heal” Tara whines at me.

“He broke the bond marking our brother, he killed our child, and you still want him?” I reply angrily.

“He is our mate. He will know Sam is not his, and we can be happy and have other pups” she says, still whining.

“No I would rather die than be with him again. I stayed for you and the pup, and what did I get? You have never supported me. You are a pathetic wolf” I spit at her.

“I will leave if you don’t take him back” she threatens as if that will stop me.

“Go, I am better off without a beast than stuck with a wolf who only cares about herself” I reply.

I feel pain and then nothing, I didn’t think she would actually do it, but I feel more at peace that she has finally gone. I am glad I don’t have to listen to her sh.it anymore. I know beasts want their mate but not at the expense of their human or their offspring. I guess you get bad wolves just like you can get a bad human.

“I am sorry Rebecca” a voice says in my head that I don’t recognise, and it startles me.

“Who is that?” I ask.

“I am Pyrrha, your dragon. I hid to try and make Father happy. When Tara was not supporting you, I tried to surface, but I was weaker than her from blocking myself. I am stronger than her now that I am here, but we are weak and need to recover before shifting” she says so sadly.

“He wasn’t worth it, Pyrrha, and you never have to hide again” I tell her, feeling less alone now she is here.

“I know, he is not a father, and I am glad we are no longer mated to that a.sshole” she growls.

“Me too, I just wish we still had our pup” I say sadly, making her whine.

“He was a perfect little boy, I heard the doctor when you were still unconscious” she tells me.

“We need to leave preferably before he is awake, I don’t want to see him” I say, and she agrees.

“Oh you are awake, sweetie. I am so sorry about what Harris did. It is unforgivable. If you need anything, just ask” Sylvia says, looking heartbroken. She was just as excited for the pup as I was. She is also feeling the loss.

“I want to leave, and hopefully, it will happen before I have to see Harris or anyone from my family” I say.

“You are still weak, you should rest, I can keep them away” she says, concerned.

“I can’t be here it hurts too much” I admit.

“Fine but let me call the council first hopefully Elder Queen Liana will come and she can take you wherever you need and make your brother pay for this” she says and it agree if it will put her mind at ease.

We are halfway to the pack house when I see Sam and Harris coming from one direction and my dad from another. Harris’ face is filled with upset and concern, but I can’t find it in me to care. He did this to himself by not trusting me or his wolf. He was so desperate to be special and have the best of both worlds that he stopped caring.

Sam is only now looking like he feels bad for all the destruction he has caused, and Harris thinks we still have a chance. Even dad sticks up for them. He will never change, so I am not surprised by it or even disappointed.

I reject my father and Sam getting a small piece of satisfaction seeing the pain on their faces because of it. I make sure Harris knows there is no going back for us, I want to leave as soon as possible.

I am relieved when I see three figures approach us. With us not making it to the pack house for their arrival, I guess they just followed the commotion. The elders, Queen Liana and her brother Armand, are here. What surprises me is that her daughter Lilith, the current queen of the Underworld, has also come.

“I am here to show them what they have done to you. I can make someone see and feel memories and pain they have caused a person, may I?” She says, and I nod. There is something about her that just puts you at ease.

She places her hand on my head, and as she takes the memories, I feel like I am slightly healed by her. It is the strangest feeling. She smiles at me when she finishes and walks to Sam and Harris, placing her hand on their head for just a second before moving to dad and doing the same.

I don’t feel anything but a tiny bit of pleasure as they all sob on the ground caught up in feeling like they made me feel.

“I will take you to the dragons, Cassie says he is a diamond in the rough but with patience he will shine again, it will take him time, and you may wonder why the goddess did this to you, but it gets better, and you will be happy again. Unfortunately, it is not an easy path” she says.

“I don’t have any idea what that means, but I don’t think it could be any worse than this, so let’s go” I say to her. I know what her sister can do and how powerful she is, so I trust that they will take me where I need to be.

“Wait Rebecca I am so sorry. Please forgive me. I had no idea how much you were hurting, I will make things right” my dad cries, being the first one to come out of the memories.

“It is too late, I have waited for 19 years for you to accept me. I thought you finally had when I was mated to Harris. My own dragon hid away to try and make you happy, and all it took was Sam and his lies to turn against me again. I can’t do this anymore. We are no longer family” I say to him, trying to stay strong.

“Thank you for everything you have done alpha and luna, and Liam don’t give up on love, not all mates are like them, you will be given someone better, I love you all” I tell Sylvia, Drake, and Liam.

“Call me and let me know how you are sweetie or I will worry, we love you too, you will always be family to us” Sylvia says giving me a hug, Drake and Liam hug me after her, I will miss them.

I see Sam and Harris coming out of the memories, and Sam throws up with all the pain he feels. And he can not even look at me. Harris is in tears, and he looks like he is going to say something or try and get to me, which I don’t want from either of them.

“Can we leave now?” I ask Queen Lilith.

“Of course, just keep an open mind” she says.

The next thing I know, we are in the Palace in the west dragon kingdom. I recognise King Sirius and Queen Sienna. I then hear the roar of mate and the most angry man I have ever seen stomps towards me, I am not ready for this sh.it.

“Stay” Lilith orders and freezes him on the spot. He then starts shouting and roaring about God’s knows what, and thankfully, Lilith silences him as well. Even Pyrrah is nervous, although she does confirm that he is our second chance mate.

“Cassie did call and said to expect guests, now I know why. I am Sienna dear, if I am not mistaken you are Rosemary’s daughter, I remember her you are just as pretty as she was, I am sorry about what happened to her” Queen Sienna says introducing herself as if her son is not frozen next to us.

“Thank you, Queen Sienna” I say as respectfully as I can.

“We don’t want you using titles. We are family now” King Sirius says, smiling kindly at me.

“Rebecca needs a lot of healing. She is just out of a bad situation, so he needs to be kept on a leash until she is ready for him” Lilith explains.

“Would you rather tell Sienna about it, or do you want me to show her? She can see what you have been through without the pain” Lilith asks.

“I am not ready to talk about it yet, so you can show her” I reply nervously.

Lilith shows my memories to Sienna, and I feel sad when she cries for me, I can tell she is a good person, and I have only heard good things about her. She hugs me, and it feels like my mums hugs, which I have missed so much. She makes me feel more at ease.

“Let’s get you settled dear, make sure he doesn’t follow and makes things worse. I will talk to you both later. I will look after her don’t worry, Lilith, she is safe with me” Sienna says, guiding me out of the room.
