My Second Chance Alpha Mate

Seven

(Gabriel)

I have been hearing my son, Tristan talking with my best friend, Jake and his mate Sara about a woman named Yaya. I have no idea who this woman is, but I can see my son is fond of her. I see Ashley coming my way. I have been thinking about making Ashley my chosen mate and Luna.

“Ashley do you know who this Yaya woman is?” I ask and Ashley growls making me look at her with an arched eyebrow.

“She’s the granddaughter of the old woman at the diner and a freak. She doesn’t speak at all and only uses her hands to sign. She also the woman who slapped me the other night and I will make sure to get mine” Ashley growls. I’m surprised to hear about this woman slapping a pack member. I don’t tolerate this kind of disrespect towards pack members or towards me.

“Why did she slap you?” I asked her.

“I don’t know. I guess she doesn’t like me” Ashley says with a shrug. I want to know who this woman is and why she slapped Ashley. Also I want to know why my son is so fond of her.

‘Jake?’ I mind link my best friend and Beta.

‘Yes, Alpha?’ he links back.

‘I would like to meet this woman my son is so fond of. Bring her over tomorrow for lunch’ I link him before closing the link.

“Are you sure about this?” Sara asks for the tenth time. Gabriel asked for us to bring Yashira for lunch tomorrow. We are on our way right now to the diner with Tristan to tell Yashira about the invitation. I park the car and get Tristan out of the car. My mate, Tristan and I walk inside the diner.

“Jake, Sara, Tristan, how are you?” Lita asks with a smile, but it didn’t reach her eyes.

“Good, how are you?” I asked her.

“I’m okay. Do you guys want something to eat? Yashira baked a chocolate cake” Lita says.

“I’ll take a piece of cake” Sara smiles.

“I’m okay for now. I was actually wondering if I can speak with Yashira” I said following her into the kitchen.

“Sure she’s in the back of the house. She’s working later on tonight for Megan” I kiss Lita on her cheek and head out to the back of the house. I turn the corner and stop in my tracks. There was Yashira hitting and kicking a punching bag. She is good and fast.

‘Babe come to the back of the house and don’t make any noise. You need to see this’ I linked my mate. A couple of seconds later I feel my mate coming up beside me. I look at her and point to Yashira. Her eyes widen and takes out her phone. She punches the bag fast and hard. She then does a spinning kick to the punching breaking the chain that was holding the punching bag.

‘She’s really good. I wonder where she learned how to fight like that?’ my mate links me.

‘I have no idea. No wonder why she wasn’t afraid of Ashley’ I said through the link.

“You’re going to need a new chain” I tell Yashira. She turns to us and smiles while waving.

‘Hey, how are you guys? Is Tristan here?’ she signs.

“Good. Yes, Tristan is here. He’s eating cake inside. Yashira, we came because Tristan’s dad wants to invite you have lunch with us tomorrow” I tell her. She arches an eyebrow and looks at us funny.

‘Why?’ she signs.

“He has been hearing Tristan talk a lot about you and he wants to meet you” I tell her.

‘He does know that I don’t speak right?’ she asks.

“He knows and he also knows sign language” Sara says.

‘I don’t know’ she signs, and I see the hesitation in her eyes. Sara opened her mouth to say something but closed it when we smelled Tristan.

“Yaya” Tristan squealed and hugged Yashira’s thigh.

‘How is the most handsome boy in the world doing?’ she signs while mouthing the words slowly for Tristan to understand.

“I good now” he says hugging her neck.

“So, about that invitation?” Sara asks with a smirk.

‘Fine anything for Tristan’ she signs. We watched Yashira and Tristan play around for a while before we had to leave. Since Yashira had to get ready for work. I told her I would pick her up tomorrow at eleven in the morning.

We walk inside the pack house just as Gabriel is coming out of his office. He picks up Tristan and sniffs him. I see his eyes flash to his wolf. He closes his eyes and takes a deep breath.

“Who’s scent does my son have on him?” Gabriel asks with a growl.

“Yashira’s. We went to invite her for lunch like you had asked” I informed him.

“I play with Yaya. Yaya fun” Tristan squeals.

“I can play with you too sweetheart” I heard Ashley say coming closer to Gabriel. Trostan hides his face in Gabriel’s neck with a whimper.

“Daddy I tire” Tristan said.

“I can ta-”

“I’ll take him up. I’m going to my room anyways” Sara says reaching out to Tristan before Ashley could take Tristan from Gabriel. Tristan goes to Sara without looking at Ashley. Tristan has always been afraid of Ashley. I’ve always heard that kids can sense when someone is not good, and I have a feeling that Tristan senses nothing good from Ashley.

“I’m going to go with my mate” I tell Gabriel and bow my head in respect to Gabriel.

After putting Tristan down for a nap I meet with my mate at the recreation room. I see her looking at the video she took of Yashira.

“Put it on the tv. She got some moves I would like to learn” I tell my mate handing her a Gatorade. She put it on the tv, and we watch as Yashira punches and kicks the punching bag.

“Who is that?” Andy, one of the pack members asks.

“A friend of ours. Her name is Yashira” Sara says proudly, and I can’t help but smile.

“She has a great body and damn it looks like she can fight. I just wish I could see her face” Victor, another pack member says walking in.

“You should get to know her. She’s a great person and has a huge heart” Sara says. When Yashira did the spinning kick all you could hear are “o’s and oh s**t” from all around. I realized the room was packed as they watched the tv.

“Repeat that please” Andy says.

“What’s going on here?” I hear Grabriel asks.

“The betas’ friend is good at fighting and has some kick ass moves” Andy says and turns back to the tv. Gabriel folds his arms over his chest and looks at the tv I couldn’t help but watch him. When I hear the pack again with the “o’s and oh s**t” I saw Gabriel’s eyebrow raise. He was impressed.

“I want to meet her. Maybe she can teach us some of her moves” Andy says. She’ll be here tomorrow for lunch. Maybe she can show us something” Sara says. Gabriel looks like he’s thinking about it and just give a firm nod before leaving. Moon goddess please let everything go well tomorrow.
