Luna Jassmin's Second Chance

2:Dying Wolf

****Jassmin****

Its been two weeks since Rhodney brought her mate Rayla at a pack house.I still can't process whats happening around me.My friends Lydia and Shelly have been ignoring me.

"Or more like giving their attention to their real and new Luna".

My wolf Hani scoffed while talking to me.She is still frustrated by our mate.

You all can't blame me to not going to back to my father house.My relationship with my Father is not good ,If I remember clearly ,my father and my relationship got worse when, I choose to marry Rhodney and went against my father's wishes. He wanted me to wait for my fated mate given by Moon goddess ,well I didn't waited and marry and mated with Rhodney, I was 18 when I got marry to him. Rhodney is one year older than me, so when I was16 and he was 17 we started dating and dating turned into love ,so we went with the flow.

If I think now clearly , we both were young, rebellious and we both hated moon goddess for our own reasons.Rhodney hates Moon goddess because he thinks ,she is the reason he lost his 6years old baby brother .And I hated her because she took my mother and sister away from me.Because of her, my father was left devastated for so many years.

Rhodney has always been my friend,my love ,and now husband.

After two months of our marriage ,

Rhodney became the Alpha of His pack "Scarlett Star Pack"

and I became his luna.Rhodney did majors in Bussiness and I did majors in Graphics design and minor in Data entries.

Life was amazing and going smooth like butter, but on one unfortunate day ,I got into accident and lost our baby .I was five months pregnat when doctors said I lost my baby and they futher said I will have complications in future to get pregnant.That day Rhodney and I cry alot for our baby boy.He took care of me in every possible way.But the problem was elder of this pack ,they wanted a heir for this pack. They are still forcing him and now he has his mate.

I can feel Rhodney hasn't touch his mate yet.Three days ago he came to our room to have a talk with me.He said Rayla will carry a baby through medical way and he won't touch her.He confessed his love to me repeatedly on that day and asked me to trust him and have a patience.He futher said ,he will reject his mate after having a baby and give her money and a house in his friend's pack.

"Rhodney you can't expect me trust you. She is your mate and real Luna to "Scarlett Star Pack" and what about your wolf. Is Jack is ready to reject his mate, tell me ,give me your answer."

I was furious with him and jack .Were they not in love with me.I saw Rhodney's green eyes changing into pitch black colour ,thats mean now Jack was in control. Jack was staring at me and held my face in his palms.

"Little bee, Indeed I got excited to see my mate .But I love you and always will. You're my love ,my mate and my Luna.Let Rayla give heir to this pack and I won't ask anything from you.Just this time listen to me.I promise I will let her go, I will reject her ."

I can see the sincerity in his eyes ,Jack always respected me ,loved and moreover he has a loving bond with Hani my wolf.So I agreed with him and he hugged me so tight that it was hard for me to breath and lastly

kissed my lips passionately and left feathery kiss on my forehead.

For now everthing is calm.Rhodney requested my presence in a hospital and today we will be going to hospital with Rayla because she will be going through some medical procedure for having a baby.

"Hani what are your thought about Jack's request .Jack never hurted us ,he also loves you alot."

I asked my wolf about Jack's agreement .I can feel Hani is frustrated ,furious and upset too because of Jack's words,but she snorted and said:

"I really don't know ,I am really angry with that cute mutt but I'am not sure about

his deal . I am getting this feeling to

go with a flow.Let us give Jack last chance.

And how long you gonna

keep me hungry ,girl do want me starve to death ."

I chuckled on her words and went downstairs to eat something.

On my way ,I met Hailey she had dark bruised on her left cheek .She was looking week ,shaking terribly. Her wide eyes met mine.Rage was boiling in me and I don't know why. I held her wrist when she tried to move. All of a sudden I was feeling protective for Hailey.My wolf was also furious.We never expressed our emtions towards Hailey.I always felt this weird bond with her ,maybe because she's my cousin.Hailey hissed when I tighten my hold on her wrist,and what I saw left me shocked.Brown-purplish bruised clearly visible on her arm.

"What happened Hailey,why you have so many of these bruises on your face and arm".

She again tried to move back and this time I realeased my hold from her wrist.

"Nothing big,I got into minor car accident when I was returning home from University".

My wolf was in deep thoughts and gave me her opinion on Hailey's bruises.

"Thats not look like minor car acccident,but bruises from beating what you say Jassmin,and that bruise on her cheek is definitely because of a hard punch and for moon sake why isn't she healing .Girl we are Luna ,command her.No matter what she's our cousin and a pack member. "

I know my wolf Hani was saying the truth.That bruises can't be because of car accident.It was clear from her bruise that someone physically hurted her but who?. And why her wolf didn't help her to heal.I heard some footsteps behind me and when I turned around I saw Andrew Dickson , a creepy smirk on his face and licking his lips while staring Hailey from top to bottom.

"Hell nah ,is he lusting after Hailey .Is'nt she is his cousin too .What's happening here Jassmin .Solve this dirty mystery".

Andrew Dickson is nephew of

Shaun Dickson who is Hailey's Father.Hailey's mother Anna Dickson is a cousin sister of Jassmin's Father Michael Salazar Moon .

"Andrew do you know about these bruises on Hailey ;I mean how she got it .Any idea?"

Hailey was saying same thing again and again when Andrew interrupted her and explained to me.

"Oh Luna you didn't know ,she was so badly injured when we found her.Aunt Anna wanted to tell you but Uncle Shaun stopped her ,because you were also having some issues.Thats why the news did'nt reach to you".

I was going to use my Luna aura to hear some truth from Hailey but Andrew cut me off by saying aunt Anna is calling Hailey and dragged her by her elbow, she was shaking from his touch. Definitely something is going wrong with them. I have to investigate her.

Growling of my stomach, reminded me I am downstairs for food.

When I arrived at dinning table , everyone went quite and I know why because their sweet little real Luna Ryala was their. I can be mistaken ,but I'm damn sure , I saw an evil glint in her eyes.Soon Rhodney came to join us all for a lunch, he came towards me and kissed me hard and passionately and I know why he did this. First to assure me that he still loves me and second to remind whole pack that no matter what I am His Luna.He held my hand and lead me towards dinning table. There was so much delicious food and once more my stomach growled and Rhodney chuckled lightly.

"Hey !

don't laugh on my poor screaming stomach".

I lightly pinched his strong biceps .He was staring me lovingly.

" Rhodney when is Rayla's appointment .I am mean at which timing ,so I can get ready to accompany you my love".

There was adoration in his eyes for me.He was happy that I agreed on his preposition and accompanying him and Rayla to the hospital.

"Take your time little bee ,but make sure to be here in half -an -hour"

I just smiled and nodded. I am going with Rhodney ,this baby is going to be mine too ,and I am sure about being an amazing mother no matter what others say.My wolf also agreed with my thoughts,Hani is way too supportive and I love her.

I had little talk with Lydia and Shelly after that I went back to our room,(Yes our room Rhodney insisted to me to come back to our room),to get ready for the hospital, and from there I remembered Hailey's bruise face.I should go and meet aunt Anna.

*******Hailey ********

"Please dad I'm sorry, I won’t dot his mistake again please .Silver will hurt me,my wolf is already week dad , please .I did nothing, Andrew is lying. I don't have a boyfriend nor I went to any where with a man".

I was in so much agony ,begging to my father to stop beating. He already tied me with silver cuffs and they were burning my whole body, moreover my wolf Zariya was also getting weak from almost every day beating. He grabbed my hair and slapped me so hard twice on my face.

"Don't you dare to raise your voice b***h, no daughter of mine is a Slut of pack. Everyday Andrew catch you with new boy. What will happen when your mother will get to know your this slutty behaviour, she will be get so disappointed at you".

My scalp started burning, I felt I am going to be bald from that place ,tears were on face ,my throat was getting sore and dry and still he was beating me .His blow hit me so hard on my nose and damn it hurts so bad. Soon I started losing my consciousness and fell into an abyss but before hearing some cuss words from from him.

×××××××After Two Hours ×××××××

"Ahh.... It's hurting, Ouch ,Zariya are you okay. Please don't heal me . It's hurting you too .I don't want you to fade and leave me all alone."

Zariya lightly chuckled on Hailey's words, but soon her light smile was replaced by sadness.

"Hailey I'm meant to protect you and look at me ,I'm getting weak day by day. Sorry ,you got such coward and weak wolf. Promise me you will try to runaway from here.You have suffered enough already."

Hearing Zariya's word ,my eyes moved to tears.

"I'm tired too Zariya and I promise you that I will give us new and peaceful life. Just stay with me. Maybe this time, I have to become selfish for us and leave Mom alone. Rest Zariya . I will be fine ,please just stop healing me."

Zariya just nodded at my words and rested her head on her paws and closed her eyes.

I always wonder why my dad hates me and beats me on every given opportunity. Mom doesn't know anything. She's sweet lady, always loving and spoiling me .But my dad he is not the father I expected for.

He treats me as If I am not his real daughter. As long as I remember, he started changing his all behaviour and attitude towards me when I was 7 years old but after that not a single day was peaceful for me. Uncle Michael Salazar, Jassmin's Father loves me and treated me the best ,I always wished I was his daughter, and maybe this is also the reason I am jealous of Jassmin. She is an apple of his eye and still she went against his wishes.

My wolf, Zariya is getting weak day by day. My healing ability is also weakening. Every day, Zariya beg me to run away from this ,or take shelter at Uncle Michael pack or another packs but how can I leave my mum here all alone by herself. Dad loves her but ,I know the beast he hides inside him.This pack and life gave nothing but humiliation to me. Maybe one day I can have my peace or maybe my revenge. Specially from ,Uncle Samuel, dad's brother and Andrew his son.The both ruined my life .Because of them ,the whole pack thinks ,I'm w***e or slut. Because of them I am in this state and I'm hating my own life.They are the biggest villains in my life. When dad will realease me from this basement, I will runaway from this pack . Now there is nothing left for me over here.I have to be strong for myself and for Zariya.

×××××××Rhodney ×××××××

Life is full of surprises. I still remember the day when I saw Jassmin for the first time.The most gorgeous and shy girl. Every guy at high school had a huge crush on her, but she chose me as his boyfriend.My wolf Jack also started liking Jassmin and her wolf Hani.At first we both were sure that we will be mates ,and because of this Jassmin father also gave us his permission .Uncle Michael and Jassmin are not in good terms .I was so excited to have her in my arms. But all my dreams got shattered, when I turned 18.Turns out that ,I'm not Jassmin's mate.We both were left heartbroken. Her father didn't allowed us to be together anymore. Uncle Michael wanted us both to meet our fated mates. But we were so in love and went against his wishes. After getting to know that Jassmin is not meant to be mine,We started keeping our relationship secret and besides getting furious over Moon goddess decisions, I was also training and preparing myself to takeover my pack as an Alpha .When Jassmin turned 18 ,She didn't met her mate and she didn't wanted to.After one month, I proposed her and she said yes.Her father didn't agreed, but my parents were happy with Jassmin and got excited when I announced my wedding news. At that moment , I knew I was being selfish by not letting Jassmin have her chance with her mate.But Isn't, everything fair in love and war and surely I was in love with her. During our wedding preparations,Jassmin was living in my pack and the reason was ,Her father didn't accepted our marriage proposal and banished Jassmin from her own pack. I never gave a thought to combine both of our packs after our marriage,So it wasn't a big deal for me that jassmin got banished from her pack. Days were peaceful after our marriage,but unfortunate events happens in everyone's life ,and in my life it happened when Jassmin was five months along in her pregnancy .I was this close to hold my own baby, but Moon goddess is the biggest villain of my happiness always wants to interfere in my life ,I honestly hate her.

"Don't speak nonsense about Mother Moon , She always have reason for everything, idiot."

Jack's love for mother moon is too much , always taking her side,Ugh .

Losing my baby was the most devastated and depressing moment for both of us.The doctor said she will have some complications in getting pregnant in future .I was ready to wait but elders started forcing me and my parents for futher heir. Elders also advice me to have a mistress only for producing a baby. Disgusting right , I want to snap their frail necks. Futhermore this piece of advice ,god knows how, reached to Jassmin and after that, we both started having fights and arguments. One day after our fight, I went out for a run towards a forest. At forest everything was calm, and there was moments of peace which I desperately wanted with Jassmin.

I wish I could turn around a time and protect her from that car accident.

Suddenly Jack started pacing in my mind ,and was eager to take control to go on a entirely different route.Thats when I noticed my surroundings and also sniffed the scent of Coffee beans. The scent was luring me to, go to that direction. When I went there ,Jack growled loudly and started chanting 'mine, mate,mate'.Following the scent, what I saw was the horrific scene ,I can never ever erase from my memory. My new found mate laying there with lots of bruises on her body and her breathing was also getting weak.

"Jack who is she, no don't I believe you ............"

I was in shock, I couldn't process my own thoughts.

"Don't pretend that you don't know "

Jack snorted.

"But I don't want this girl in my life "

I was damn sure about my life.

"F*ck Rhodney you can not deny this she's our mate.Help her ,she's dying. "

Jack was begging me to help that girl, but I didn't wanted to. I don't want any girl other than Jassmin in my life.

"She is dying let her die. I don't want to hurt Jassmin because of this unknown girl."

Jack menacingly growled at my words.

"Whether you like it or not Rhodney ,she's is our mate. Now stop denying the facts and move your ass to help her."

I started taking my steps backwards,when I heard that girl whimpering slightly. How can I let someone die. When she will get back to health I will reject her.I linked my Beta and Gamma to come and take this girl to a hospital. Logan and Ron came in their wolf form and shifted back to their humans form. I told them every thing and they stood there shocked and still.After few mintutes of stillness, Ron my Gamma expressed his feelings by saying he don't want to hurt Jassmin. Jassmin and Ron has a wonderful bond. Logan carried that girl. Jack was growling in my head ,he wanted to shread Logan into pieces because he was carrying our mate. Dramatic wolf.

They say that when you meet your mate,you can't see another person other than your mate and honestly from this girl, I don't feel any closeness although her scent is alluring.

After few days ,I got to know from my Beta Logan that her name is Ryala and she's an Omega wolf and her previous pack treated her horribly and brutally and she was thrown out of the pack because she forgot to add some salt in a food that her Alpha’s son wanted.Lame excuse, I know right, but who cares.

She requested my presence.She wants to meet me because she heard my talk with Logan and Ron. She knows that I'm her mate.

Now I am on my way to pack hospital to meet Rayla. I hope she accepts what's coming for her.

I and Jassmin are now having arguments daily. Elders are always asking me about my child. I can't tell them about Jassmin's accident.

They will surely force me to take another mate.

Lightly knocking on the door ,I entered in her room.That alluring scent was all over the place. After taking hard sniff of a scent ,My eyes moved to met her eyes. The most striking feature of her appearance was her dark red hair and face with big brown eyes and small nose like a buttons .

"And those plum, pouty lips .I just want to suck them forever. "

Ugh ,Jack is basically drooling for her . He is being crazy for her just because, she's our mate .Stupid mutt.

She is so frail and weak ,Will she be able to handle my rejection. My pack elders once told us about the story of rejection.In which weak mates die because of rejection. I hope she survive this .Her eyes are gleaming with anticipation of her being my fated mate is clear in her eyes. She's happy that I found her.

"Hi !

I'm Rayla. I know we are mates. My wolf is quite weak but she got sniff of your scent and she is sure we are meant for you."

She was so shy when she was introducing herself. But I don't want to waste my time with her. I want to go back to Jassmin and have a romantic dinner with her. Gosh I miss her so much. I knew I have to finish this business with her.Jack was trying hard to be in control to stop me from rejecting her.

" I know we are mates,but I dont want you. I have my Luna, she's the one I want .So I am here to reject you. I can give you shelter in my pack but don't expect anything other than this from me. "

I know I'm being an as*hole.I am a selfish person.

I saw her clenching her fist so hardly, unshed tears now swimming in her eyes.

"Please don't throw me out of your life.You didn't even gave me a chance to show you how good luna I can be .Alpha you are doing the same thing, that every other person did,throwing me out of their lives."

Shiny tears were now dripping from her cheeks. Honestly ,there was no attraction pull I felt for her. She says her wolf is weak ,but I can't even feel that weak wolf. Her tears were streaming non-stop .

"I can't and don't want to. Just accept my rejection. I Rhodney Jewell, the Alpha of Scarlett Star Pack reject..........."

Jack was growling at me.Rayla was crying and yelling at me to stop completing the rejection, but then all of a sudden she said something to stop me and it worked.

" How dare you to talk about Jassmin like that.It won't take seconds to snap your neck."

Rayla scoffed at my words. Clearly not taking my threat seriously .

"Why Alpha did I said something wrong. I heard two nurses talking about your Luna's incapability of carrying a baby.Is she a infertile?.I guess no one in this packs knows about......."

I went ahead to grab her neck. I wanted to snap it, and little did I know, snapping her neck would have been the best decision ,I would have ever made.

I wanted to wipe that little nasty smirk hanging on her lip.I guess not the little ,weak omega anymore

"No one,and I mean it ,no one have right to say anything about Jassmin. Do you think I won’t snap your neck because, you are my fated mate. F*ck I don't give a damn about you. Shut your nasty mouth and accept the rejection. "

She started chuckling.I can be wrong but I saw an evil glint with in her eyes.

"I know you are strong Alpha and love your Luna ,but we can have some

deal for sure .I am sure you are going to appreciate it. "

I saw the change in her voice. Now she sounded like a timid ,weak girl.

"Let me carry your baby .I am asking for nine months. Just for nine months let me know about you , feel about you . Please ,just for once."

I was flabbergasted by her talk she wanted to carry a baby of man, who doesn't want her in his life. Instantly my answer was no.But her pleading and Elders forcing me for a heir gave me an insane amount of encouragement to approve of her.

I agreed on her bargain. But I make sure to clear one thing that she will be surrogate for I and Jassmin and this deal will be legalized on paper.

But there was one thing and that thing was Jassmin. How to convince her ,was making my stomach quesy.

I know she will tear me into pieces but I have to do it for both of us.

My arguments with Jassmin have always been horrible. So this time was no different. She was this close to rip Rayla's hair from her scalp.

But after explaining her, expressing my love for her repeatedly, she finally said 'yes' for Rayla being our surrogate. I know deep down she's hurt but we have plenty of time to reconcile our feelings.

Today ,I and Jassmin,along with my Rayla headed towards a hospital for my mate surgery for having a baby. Honestly I don't know how surrogacy works.But amidst all this baby situation, I was worried about Jassmin .I knew she's feeling upset and anxious,I can feel it through my bond. I wanted to hold her and I did.

"Little bee you have to tell me what's bothering you.I can feel your emtions. please talk to me. "

Jassmin looked at me. Hurt and confusion with some unshed tears was clearly visible in her eyes.She sigh and slightly nodded her head.

"Rhodney do you know about accident Hailey's been.She got bruises so badly. What shocking me is that her wounds didn't healed.Her wolf didn't helped her. It's so confusing .I am definitely sure about one thing that she is lying about her bruises."

Jassmin's words were a bolt out of the blue for me. A pack member of mine was in accident and no one told me about it.

"No one told me about

this incident Jassmin. Who gave them permission to hide anything. I will investigate this matter myself. Don't over stress yourself. Let's have dinner tonight. What you say ,my love."

Jassmin was staring me lovingly.

"Not today my love maybe next time.I also want to visit aunt Anna.She wanted me to visit her. "

I was going to reply her back but doctor came and told us that the procedure was successful and Rayla is now carrying our baby. Jassmin was so happy and so do I.After the news .Jassmin left me and went to see and welcome a new pups of this pack. That's why I say she's the perfect and amazing luna. For me, no one can replace her place in my heart.

I sent Rayla home with my driver and took a walk to pack house. On my way Jassmin's words were replying in my head about Hailey's accident. She is a sweet girl ,but the issue is why her wolf didn't healed her and Why I didn't got this news's.I never liked my dad's former Beta Shaun

I linked my Beta Logan to help me investigate this.

Something wrong is happening in front of my eyes ,I can bet my guts about this. Jack is also feeling this in his gut that something going to happen in our lives.

" Mother Moon, I never asked anything from you ,but please always protect Jassmin from any harm and evil."

Let's see what we find about Hailey's accident.

*******Unknown pov*******

Whenever I'm this close to accomplish my dreams ,fate drags me down with nothing in my hands.

I want to wipe the beloved wolf species of Moon goddess ,specially those Royal Lycans. My blood is boiling, When I see them roaming freely on our lands.

"Sister !

Why your dark energy is all over the place. Are you again thinking about those mutts right ? Everthing going to work out as we planned . Soon we will be the ones as superiors."

My little brother knows every detail of our plan.His words did make me feel better.

"Did you send our leading scout to their destin packs. Did you tell them that, I want those Alpha mutts on their knees. I want their pack .No matter what dirty mysteries we have to play."

Beyron was so sure about the results of our plan.

Little smirk on his face, he told me our important spy has reached on the grounds of

'Scarlett Star Pack '.

After this news ,I'm over the moon .

'Blood Moon Pack'and 'Scarlett Star Pack'

are both vital for us .The energy of our Ancestors are hidden under those grounds. Soon after getting those lands ,we will be able to harness those energy ,especially we will get the magical "Blood Stone" from that great Alpha Michael Salazar. That damn Alpha won't even know what got him.

"Sister, Rayla gave us some intel . She's on her work, but Alpha Rhodney wants Rayla to bear a child for him and she agreed on doing this."

Rayla is one of the best in my scouts. She can do anything to please us higher authorities.

" Little brother Beyron !

Let that little vixen

do what she thinks is better for her.I am sure ,soon she's going to tell us the great news we wants to hear ."

Beyron laughed evilly. Soon these mutts will be on their knees, begging us for their death but I want let them die so easily.
