Second Chance Luna Doctor

Ch 4: Noah

What the f**k was that??? I asked my wolf while waiting for Josh to come so we can leave. What is he doing there with her?

Mate! Go back to mate! NOW! How could you leave her in proximity of a lone wolf other than us?

Xavier was pacing in my head, which was giving me a headache.

Listen Xavier, you know there is no such thing as second chance mates. We only get one and that’s it. We had ours, remember?

He huffs, refusing to give up. 

You don’t need to remind me of our previous mate. I remember quite clearly, although I wish I could have gone with her. But what is your explanation for all the mate related signs that were present? 

Well, I agree that was definitely something, but I highly doubt it's the mate bond at play here. Plus, she’s human. When’s the last time you heard of a regular wolf having a human matem let alone an Alpha of such a strong pack?

That quiets him down.I finally see Josh coming back.

“What took you so long?” my voice coming off stronger than I intended it to.

“I’m sorry Alpha, I was intrigued by her and wanted to talk some more,” he replied sheepishly.

My anger increased ten-fold and Josh cowered in fear. But I couldn’t tell him what to do and him talking to her shouldn’t affect me in any way. She isn’t anything to me.

“Fine, let’s go,” I bit out. He opened the door for me and went to go sit in the passenger seat upfront.

I was just about to close my eyes when Xavier spoke again. Now, Xavier and I are connected with each other more than the average wolf. Usually, we are on the exact same page but it seems this Dr. Andrea Brown is going to be changing up more than one thing in my life. 

Listen Noah, I think the Moon Goddess has blessed us with a second chance mate. Why else would we be able to scent her and the way you could just feel the electricity between her and us? Tell me then, why did you avoid touching her?

I don’t think so, and even if she has, I simply don’t want her. I avoided touching her because I don’t like doctors touching me any more than necessary. As if you didn’t know the answer already.

Sick of this back and forth, I cut my link with Xavier for the first time in my life. I don’t want to think about what happened back there but it’s as if my thoughts are no longer in my control.

I was actually on time for the appointment but didn’t want to go in. Just being around a medical building of any sorts is enough to trigger the memories I want to keep buried. 

As soon, as I left the doctor’s office, I felt the guilt creep up about the way I treated that doctor. She looked like a nice person. In fact, she looked really good. Those hazel eyes hardened with anger and her long brunette hair pulled away from her face into a ponytail. It only accentuated her features. I wonder how she would look if her hair was let go to frame her face. And that body! s**t, it’s been a while since I’ve seen women that gave me such a reaction. But Dr. Andrea Brown had the perfect curves and long legs that differentiated her from girls who think borderline anorexia is attractive. Compared to my 6’ 3” or rather 6’ 4.5” frame as she put it (feistily), she came up short. Maybe around 5’ 4”? Just like...

And the thoughts are washed away by a guilt much stronger that will forever haunt me. What was I doing thinking about her that way? A doctor of all people? I must’ve lost my damn mind. I had to be careful. But then again, I only have one appointment per year, so it’s good that I wouldn’t be seeing her for a good while. 

Josh clears his throat. I look up at him and realize he’s been holding the door for me outside our office building. I would apologize, but I’m still mad about this morning. Call me petty, I don’t care. I am not only his Alpha but I also pay him damn well to do his job.

I push all my thoughts regarding her away and get out and into the building. This is my domain and it feels good to be in control again. I send a slight nod at the receptionists and they welcome me. 

Josh is talking into his bluetooth and nodding along whatever the other person is saying. I could overhear him if I want to but I know he’ll inform me when he’s done, he always does. When we reach and get in my private elevator, Josh turns to me.

“Alpha, there is someone waiting for you upstairs. Do you want me to send them away or should they keep waiting?” Josh asks

“Who is it?”

“Some woman named Tania?” he looks at me expectantly and I look back at him quizzically.

“Who?” I am so lost right now, I don’t remember.

“Sir, she says she is your girlfriend.” He is looking everywhere but at me.

“Josh, you know better, I don’t have or do girlfriends.” I inform him.

“Yes Alpha, I’m sorry.” 

“Take care of it and make sure it doesn’t happen again. I don’t need the woman I occasionally use to attend functions to come around and spread lies. The media is up my ass already and I don’t need to give them another reason to go further.” I tell him as we step off the elevator and into my office.

He gives a curt nod and leaves the office. I look through the one way glass in my office. I saw the woman who was on my arm last week being carried away by security after she refused to leave. I shake my head. When will they learn, and what part about this isn’t a relationship don’t they get? I give them a full disclosure before we get anywhere close, so as to save the bullcrap and yet it always ends up in a mess similar to this. I may be called a playboy by some but in my eyes it doesn’t matter. I don’t even touch women any more than necessary during galas and the works. I have worked hard to be where I am and to keep going up I need to socialize. It’s not that my mom and friends haven’t tried to set me up the first few times, but after several failed attempts they gave up. I am glad they did. They should know better. I don’t want or need to pick a new Luna, I am fine as it is. Even if I did, it’d feel like she is a replacement and absolutely no one can replace her.

I run my hand over my face and sit down in my chair. I didn’t think I’d ever be glad to bury myself in a mountain of paperwork, but here I am, all because of that doctor, Dr. Andrea Brown. 

Why are you keeping me away from my mate? You should know what that will do to us! Especially after last time. The Moon Goddess gave us a second chance, and I will be damned if I let you ruin that for me.

Wonderful, Xavier was not only back but arguing with me again, over her.

Xavier, buddy, listen to me. I understand what you are going through but you should know what I am going through as well. We simply can’t do that to her.

She would want us to be happy and move on.

I can’t. I’m sorry.

I have to actively keep my mind off of her in order to finish my work. 

I look up to see that the clock now reads 4:06 pm. s**t! I have a meeting in 9 minutes. I am always prepared.This is my company, so the presentation among the shareholders shouldn’t be a major issue but I don’t like getting caught offhanded. Truly though, if my mother could see how much that appointment has f****d me up, she probably would stop forcing me to go there. Now there’s an idea. 

Josh knocks on the door at 4:10 and pops his head in after my confirmation. 

“Sir, your 4:15 meeting is ready to go. Everyone is here already and waiting for you.”

“Thanks, Josh.”

I get up, collect my laptop and pointer and walk down the hallway to the main meeting room. 

The meeting, as I suspected, doesn’t take long. It’s 5 pm and I am so ready to get out of here and back home to the only solace I can find that I don’t mind invading my space. 

As the people filter out from the meeting room, Josh comes up to me to hand me the notes he took on not only the presentation but how the shareholders reacted to it and my ideas. I built this company from ground up, it’s what kept me going after that incident.

“Josh, make sure the car is ready and then you can take the rest of the day off.”

I doubt he needed to be told twice. 

Picking up the essentials from the meeting room and then my desk, I turn off the lights in my office before walking out. Most of the floor is empty by now with the regular workday ending.

I accidentally let my thoughts drift off on the ride home and they end up going right back to Dr. Andrea Brown and how her eyes flashed each time I dismissed her. 

Damn I would love to see the same kind of intensity elsewhere. 

NOPE. ABORT. Damn it, Xavier you gotta forget about her luscious lips and the feminine curve of her stomach. 

Who’s mind is going elsewhere now? I never said anything about either one of those things. I mean I would love to know how her pillow soft lips would feel pressed against mine while my rough hands feel her body-

THAT’S ENOUGH. End of discussion.

I can feel my pants getting strained. I let a series of curses filter out of my mouth and just like that, I am home and in the cold shower trying to focus on anything else. Of course did nothing to help me because I couldn't get her out of my head. 

I step out of the shower and force myself to look at the time. s**t, I've been in there for 30 minutes already. I'm late for the daily briefing with my officials at the pack house.

I am just about to leave the house when I hear my phone ring. Stepping out, I look at the caller ID.

"Jack, I am about to leave right now. I'll be there by 6pm," and hang up before he has a chance to say anything else. I knew he wouldn't question me after I used my Alpha tone.

I grin at the sight of my beloved car, an SSC Tuatara, named the fastest car in the world. I work damn hard, and since I don't enjoy the pleasure of flesh, I enjoy the pleasure of fast cars and the betterment of my pack. 

I look toward the back and start pulling out of my garage when Xavier came back to me with an urgency I haven't seen in a long time.

MATE! GO TO MATE NOW!

Xavier, we talked about this.

Mate is in trouble! Either you get your ass there or I will take over and do it myself.

That got my attention. I rush toward the hospital, breaking the speed limit. I start to sniff for the heavenly scent and finally catch it. I round the corner and what I see there has Xavier and I seeing red. Xavier does something he's only done once in my life. He takes over.
