Her Second Chance

HSC: Chapter 1

Chapter 1

I woke early. I watched the sun come up. It was beautiful. Had this been a trip taken by choice I would never leave this spot.

I shook my head as I got up and put the fire out. After I finished I began to walk I just wanted to find something.

Unknown POV

“I honestly cannot believe you lost her!” Nathan screamed in my face.

“You better hope this doesn’t mess with my plan!”

I shake my head “I hope not either Alpha, I just…”

“ENOUGH” Nathan used his Alpha tone to make me be quiet.

“Leave me…I will figure out what I’m going to do to get her back. Where did you say you lost track of her?”

“We lost her at the cave located here” I say as I point to the X on the map.

He just nodded and I took my leave.

I hated that I lost her. I hated that I let him down. I also hated how it gave me a sick

sense of happiness that he might not get what he wanted.

I kept walking deeper and deeper into the forest.

Let me take over. We will clear these trees faster.

I gave in and let Rainn take over stripping out of my clothes I folded them and placed them into my bag. My body started to change and contort. My bones popped and shifted. As Rainn stood there in all her amber coloring. She bent down to grab the bag with her mouth and took off running. Lifting her nose to the air.

It was almost as if she was tracking something. I had no clue what it could be.

Rainn kept running and sniffing the air. Just then I caught the scent she was tracking.

Rainn why are we going here?

She didn’t answer she just kept running. I was starting to get pissed. I couldn’t believe she would bring me here. Like seriously? Here I was thinking I had escaped and she was taking us right back.

Remy, trust me. I’m not taking us back that is the last thing I want. Would you look around and tell me what you see.

As I looked through Rainn’s eyes at the surrounding area I could see a small house off in the distance. The smell she was tracking lead us to here.

I took back control as Rainn got us closer.

The place smelled of the men who were tracking me…

Why Rainn?

I have a feeling…this is where we are supposed to be right now.

Before I could say anything back she locked me out. I was left alone in a place that I didn’t want to be in. As I sat there pouting and being miserable I decided I was going to explore the house.

I opened the front door, which to my surprise wasn’t even locked. I had to trust Rainn even though she had me locked out right now I knew she was still watching me.

I gave a little push and the door flung open causing it to hit the wall.

I put my hands over my mouth as if it would help muffle the sound. I just stood there for what felt like forever waiting and watching for someone to come and see what that noise was. After a few minutes I decided that there probably wasn’t going to be anyone coming so I walked the rest of the way in. I shut the door behind me.

This house looked a lot bigger on the inside than it was on the out.

The floors were white marble with gold flakes. The furniture was all contemporary modern and white in color.

Everything was symmetric. There wasn’t a crooked picture frame or a fork that was out of place. If I hadn’t been walking around I would’ve thought the place abandoned.

I walked down the hallway to what looked like the master bedroom.

In the middle of the room was a huge Alaskan king bed. Adorned with white and black bed sheets. The rug underneath was white and fluffy. It felt great underneath my feet. I wiggled and squeezed the fabric between my toes. This place was wonderful. I walked into the master bathroom. There was a shower that covered half of the room. The ceiling above it looked like it was covered with nozzles. There was a bench and a tv behind plexiglass. I turned to look at the other side which housed a massive bathtub. It had jets, nozzles and a nice looking head rest as well. I was so preoccupied with looking at all of the neat bathroom items that I didn’t even notice the man standing in the doorway.

“Alpha Devin?” Jeremy cleared his throat.

“Yes Jeremy?” I answered, not looking up from the mountain of paperwork on my desk.

“The guest house alarm has been triggered” He said plainly.

“s**t!” I grunted. I stopped what I was doing and began to head for the door.

Jeremy was hot on my heels has I thudded down the office hallway. Our steps thundered as we walked briskly to the parking garage.

“Good evening, Sir.” The guard said as I reached the entrance. As if on queue the valet brought my Chevrolet around.

“Sir, do you want me to ride with you?” Jeremy asked holding in the alpha because of the humans present.

“Yes of course.” I answered quickly as I was hopping into the drivers seat of the truck.

Then we were off. Heading to the guest house on the far east side of the pack grounds.

***

We drove for what felt like forever. There was an intruder on our pack grounds of all places. Who knows what kind of savage rouge this could be. Why would it break into the guest house?

“Beta.” Alpha Devin said sternly snapping me out of my trance.

“Yes, Alpha?”

“We are pulling up to the house. I want you to stay outside while I check it out.”

“Yes, Alpha.”

“Listen Jeremy, you don’t have to be so formal when it’s just the two of us. I only called you Beta because I had said your name a few times and you never responded.” Alpha Devin said cooly.

Honestly it’s hard having your childhood best friend become Alpha. Devin and I were born low level Omegas.

When we turned 15 and began to go through puberty, we out grew all of the other Omegas.

The Alpha at the time had no male heirs. All of his daughters had been mated with Alphas of other packs. Giving us strong allies but leaving us to still find a suitable replacement. The Alpha took interest in Devin. The two began spending lots of time together. I got to come too of course. Training, training, and more training. We trained harder than any other Omegas in the pack. When we turned 18 the Alpha announced his retirement and named Devin his successor. Devin in turn made me his Beta. Devin was the first in his line to ever gain an Alpha title and he was determined to keep it in his bloodline.

Pulling up to the house, I put the car in park.

I rubbed my hands together. Looking around I didn’t see any other cars in the drive.

“Remember what I said Jeremy.” I grunted as I slid out of the truck. Closing the door swiftly.

I lifted my nose to smell the air, so the I could maybe figure out who broke in. I breathed deep as a sweet Jolly Rancher scent filled my nostrils.

I began to trot to the house, all the while becoming infatuated with this sweet scent, as I reached the front door I turned the knob gently giving it a little push. Holding onto the door so it didn’t swing wildly as I stepped in. I began looking around trying to see if anything was a miss.

Still breathing deeply. It seems like this delicious scent is in the house. I walked down the hall to the master bedroom. The scent was just pouring out of there. I walked into the room and stopped at the bathroom entrance.

Standing there admiring the vastness that is the shower was the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. I was just getting ready to clear my throat when she turned and noticed me.

“I’m so sorry I didn’t mean to break in.” I stammered. Not knowing how to explain that the door was unlocked.

“The door was unlocked, I kinda let myself in.” I announced sheepishly.

This man in front of me looked like a Greek god. He was a chocolate complexion with the prettiest hazel eyes I had ever seen. He smelled of cedar and ash. Weird combination I know but somehow it worked for me. His jawline was so sharp, that it looked like you’d cut yourself if you touched it, he was tall, and his body looked like it was chiseled out of marble.

My eyes slid up and down his body while he stood there watching me. I suddenly felt my face grow warm and I wanted to run and hide.

“I leave the door unlocked on purpose,” He huffed out, “I’ve been looking for someone and wanted them to have somewhere to go.”

His voice was deep and warm even though he was across the room it felt like he was right next to me.

“What is your name?” He asked.

“My name is Remy Jaxon.” I responded.

“How lovely.” He said smiling slightly.

I waited through the awkward pause that followed. Finally after what felt like forever he spoke again.

“My name is Devin Miller. I’m the Alpha of Prairie Moon Pack.”

He continued talking but I kinda tuned him out after he said he was an Alpha. I mean obviously looking at him you can tell. His chest was wide and well defined, his arms as well. Just as my gaze was trailing down is body he got louder and began waving his hand in my face.

My face felt flush with embarrassment. He caught me checking him out again. I don’t know what it is about him but I want him bad.
