The Beta's Second Chance Mate

6. First Night

Henry POV:

“Please, Henry” she asked me like she really meant it, but I could see the power Mueller had over his daughter. I wondered, what could possibly have happened that she was so scared of him?

I decided not to think much about it because Chaos was already growling inside my head in a protective way.

It would be hard to be by her side and not do anything, but I would never take advantage of any situation. I hated to admit it, but she was growing to be important to me and I cared for her a lot.

“All right”, I told her, holding her closer to make her dad go away.

He smiled in approval and left.

I let her go but she didn’t say anything.

She was blushing a lot and she was so beautiful and so innocent.

I wondered if she ever had someone in her life.

“You’re thinking too much, let’s claim her tonight” Chaos said, and I rolled my eyes.

“Chaos, please, you’re giving me a harder time than I already have, you know?”

“Very hard, I can see” he said, and he laughed.

It’ll be hard, very HARD indeed. I thought, looking at the bulge on my pants, but I'd survive.

I asked her for another dance and she nodded, at least that way I could dissemble it.

Soon the wolves dispersed and Mueller prepared the guest room for Randall. We took some clothes we left in the car for an emergency or in case we get attacked by rogues and need to shift quickly, later Luna Liliane showed me Lindsy’s room.

She had already showered and she was nowhere to be seen, so I showered quickly, dried my legs and put on a trouser. I brushed my teeth and I got surprised when Lindsy came in and she also startled.

She was gawking at my body.

I couldn’t help but notice some…interest in her eyes?

I wondered if she could feel the pull?

I shook this thought quickly, she was still 17, she couldn’t possibly feel it.

“I’m sorry” she said after some time and I turned to look at her and my thumb caressed her silk face on its own accord. I chuckled.

“That’s what I’m talking about” Chaos said, making me realize what I had just done. I was taken by the moment.

“Don’t worry, I’m leaving anyway”, I told her and left.

She had a couch in her room and I just laid in there.

“I don’t understand, won’t you lay with me?” she asked me, sounding so innocent.

“No, I’m fine here” I told her.

No, Lindsy. I won’t sleep with you because I won’t be able to control myself from claiming you.

That was what I wanted to tell her.

.

Lindsy POV:

Somehow, I felt rejected.

I frowned, laying down on the bed. The couch wasn’t big enough for his tall frame.

I got uneased but I just let it slip.

I wouldn’t beg him to sleep with me.

But I could sleep on the couch instead of him.

I stood up again and made my way to the couch and sat on it, making him sit too.

“Henry, I won’t feel good if you sleep here. This couch isn’t big enough, but I can easily fit in here. Please, sleep on my bed today and I’ll sleep here. We’ll be leaving tomorrow anyway”, I told him, and he chuckled.

“Absolutely not, thank you, Lindsy, but I’m really fine in here” he said and he lifted me bridal style and laid me on my bed again and I giggled.

He stared at me for a few seconds, my breath hitched and he got serious, glancing intently at my lips, then he gulped hard and he kissed my forehead.

“Goodnight, Lindsy” he whispered.

“Goodnight, Henry”, I whispered back to him and he laid on the couch again.

I’ve never felt so odd, my heart never beat this happily before and I never thought I could feel butterflies in my stomach.

I couldn’t stop thinking about his body when I entered the bathroom, his back still had some drops of water, he was strong with a perfect biceps and abs and his hair was messy. How can a man be so gorgeous?

I felt something tingling in between my thighs when he caressed my face and I quickly shook off this thought. I obviously didn’t want him to smell me at that time or how hot I was feeling down there thinking about him now.

.

Liliane POV:

I saw the way Henry glanced at Lindsy back at the ball.

Lindsy was his mate.

I was so happy about it; she could be happy.

Henry was such a really nice man and I couldn’t have been happier for her too. She wouldn’t feel the pull like it was supposed to but she would surely feel drawn past Henry and as the time passed until her 18th birthday, the pull would only get stronger, but like I said, Henry was a really nice man and he would definitely make her fall in love with him even before that.

I was happy enough that Henry didn’t take advantage of the situation to mate Lindsy. Most of the wolves would definitely have tried now ever since the pull was strong, but not him and I’m forever glad about that.

I love Lindsy and Leon, they’re mine and every day I pray to the Goddess to leave things this way.

I was so afraid that their biological mother would end up showing up.

She was wicked and wanted to kill me.

Mueller stood by my side at that time because the pups were small and they needed me more than they needed her, but they are all grown up now and I’m sure he would do whatever she asks him to do this time.

I had not many options left.

I wouldn’t go back to my former Pack, the Red Moon Pack.

I’ve learnt to love and care for the Silver Moon Pack and even though the relationship between Mueller and I was professional, he never dared to disrespect me.

It's not like we’ve talked much about anything either.

I knew about Mueller’s mistresses, we’ve mated only a few times before, when I moved to the Silver Moon Pack and I understood he had his needs.

I just wished he wasn’t so superficial and he really could care for Lindsy as much as he cared for Leon, my heart clenches painfully when I see the way he treats her.

I always respected the Alpha’s decisions. The only time I didn’t was when Mueller whipped Lindsy. She was young and he was way too strong, so she carried the scars until nowadays on her back.

I hope when she meets her wolf, those scars can go away.

Mueller was startled when he realized what he was doing and stopped at the same time when I screamed for him to do so.

Lindsy went unconscious for some days.

From this day on, I knew that when they grew up, when Leon becomes the Alpha and Lindsy finds her mate, I would also leave this pack.

The time is coming.

I was in love with Mueller at first, but his mistress and his coldness could make me push him away.

And so we’re living so far.

.

Leon POV:

I was thinking nonstop about my sister.

I was enraged by the way our father talked to her, about her.

She was nothing but a slave he could use as he pleased.

“We have to protect her, Leon”, Phantom said, and I agreed, but how? I wasn’t the Alpha yet.

I saw the objects flying around me again and I tried to cool down. Slowly the objects made its way down again.

The only part that made me less concerned was that Henry seemed to care for Lindsy.

Maybe it is better for her to leave. Lindsy doesn’t recognize her own potential, but she will be a great Luna.

And why didn’t our mother say anything?

It was not like there was much to be done and it was not like I said anything at all either.

Fuck, I can’t wait to become the Alpha.

I have to train harder, be wiser and stronger so I can challenge my father if I face this kind of situation again.

“We’ll be a greater Alpha than he ever was” my wolf said, and hell, of course we will, our father doesn’t care for the pack members at all.

I cared too much for my sister.

And I was afraid that I could become a man like him someday.

I don’t know how things would be without Lindsy here.

Our mother barely talks to me either.

I have to be strong for all of us. When the right moment comes, I will challenge my father.

I won’t let him be this tyrant anymore around me.

I threw myself in bed after a long bath.

I’m twenty and I still haven’t found my mate, but that’s something I will think about only after I become the Alpha.

I couldn’t have to be with her now and deal with my father.

Deep inside, I never agreed with the way my father ruled this Pack.

The wolves are always tired and when a visit comes, they pretend they’re happy.

Everything was nothing but huge bullshit.

I wanted to change that, I wanted to be fair, I have my own darkness being the son of someone like Alpha Mueller and always having him by my side, he wanted to control my actions, he wanted to control my thoughts. But I wouldn’t let him do it completely.

I am mine, Alpha Mueller.

My Wolf Phantom howled in reassurance in my mind.

.

Henry POV:

I woke up the next day and the first thing I did was to peek at my mate.

But she wasn’t there. I checked the time. It was 6:30am.

Was it possible that she woke up that early?

She was only 17, I decided to be the stalker I didn’t want to be and have her room checked.

I couldn’t help it but keep my guard up.

After everything I’ve been through with Stacy, it was hard for me to trust someone completely again, especially someone that was my mate.

There was another door. I opened it and it was a closet. It was organized, I checked her bookcase.

There were a lot of school books, stories, rulings and the pack’s politics matter.

I was very impressed.

She looks so innocent and quiet but I’m sure that she was very smart and could understand a lot about rulings.

Then I saw her cellphone on the small table beside her bed. I know I shouldn’t but…

I frowned. I can’t believe what I’m about to do, but every 17-year-old girl has a good social life.

Last thing I knew, I was already checking her cellphone.

There was absolutely nothing odd, nothing different. In fact, there were only pictures of flowers, the sunset, some picnic images and her and her mother together having a picnic. That’s pretty much it.

I placed her cellphone back, I even checked under her bed. I think I’m getting nuts or why the hell was I expecting something was wrong or bad about her?

I took a good look over her room. Her bed was made beautifully and her room was very clean and organized.

I sat on the couch thinking, there might be something, she couldn’t possibly be so perfect, nobody was.

I frowned.

“What the hell are you doing?” Chaos asked me.

“I don’t know, nobody is so perfect, Chaos, there’s something odd” I told him and he laughed.

"Just because you're being a jerk with trust issues, it doesn't mean she has to be something bad, she's my mate" Chaos said and I put him in the back of my mind.

Suddenly, Lindsy opened the door and came in staring at me.

“Henry, good morning. Breakfast is served. I came to let you know, do you want to go down or should I bring a tray over here?” she asked and I chuckled.

“Good morning, I’ll be ready in a minute. You should wait for me and we will go together”, I told her, and she nodded, smiling.

I quickly did everything I had to do and we left her room. I could hear another door opening and my fingers intertwined on hers.

It was getting harder to control myself in this Pack, we needed to go to the Black Moon Pack as soon as possible.
