Second Chances: Sapphire

Break Up To Make Up

."Morning," Christian said softly. I looked over at him and he had a tray with breakfast on it. Simple pancakes, bacon and orange juice. I grabbed the glass of orange juice and took a few sips.

"Going to stare at me the whole time?" I asked. He grinned and took a piece of my bacon.

"Thanks for taking care of me," he said.

"No worries, I can't have you going off the deep end," I said.

"It might be a bit too late for that," he said somberly.

"Maybe not," I said back. I grabbed his hand and looked into his eyes. "I'm not sure how to go from here but I'm here."

"How long have you been a hunter?" he asked. "Do you know anything about mates or wolf culture."

"Um, I'm not a hunter," I said quickly. I gulped down the rest of my orange juice waiting for him to speak.

"Oh, so you just kill supernatural creatures for sport or something," he said.

"No, obviously not. I feel it is my responsibility to uphold the old ways," I said.

"Old ways? what do you know about the old ways?" he asked.

"I know everyone use to live in harmony, respected one another and tolerated everyone's customs and culture," I said. Christian began to pace around the room.

"And now?" he asked.

"Now, everyone does what they want. If you have strength and power you choose to kill those who don't even if they did nothing to deserve it," I said harshly.

"Like me and my pack. I kill because I can and I will continue to do so if I see fit to anyone I choose," he said.

"Your arrogant and wrong," I snapped. "Wolves use to be noble and honorable."

"You know nothing," he said. I couldn't contain my anger anymore. I threw my tray across the room. He felt my challenge and stood up. I got up, ready to walk away but he pushed me to the nearest wall.

"I could snap your neck, right here right now if I really wanted to," he said as his hands wrapped around my throat. I began to tremble for a second but I would not allow him to intimidate me.

"GO AHEAD," I said. "Guess it's easier with me than with her," Christian growled loudly it sent shivers down my spine and made the room vibrate. He dropped his hands but remained closely in front of me.

"You don't know what it's like to have a mate and loose one at that," he said.

"I know all too well," I replied. "Burns like fire and that's not exactly a bad thing." He stepped back and sat on the edge of the bed.

"How, How do you know," he said. I stayed quiet but I knew I had to speak. This was it. I had to tell him the truth. I had to tell him everything.

"Christian, I am not a hunter but I know about them. I know about you and your kind. I know about Henry and vampires because I am not a human. I am a lycan. The very first of our kind, werewolves. I am over a thousand years old and I may not have had a mate in your traditional sense but I have been bonded with another of my kind long ago," I started to explain but Christian stormed out before I could continue.

"Well, that went well," I thought. I decide to take a shower and if he didn't return by the time I finished I would just leave. I went over to the bathroom and got in the shower. Suddenly I heard a loud thump and footsteps coming closer to the bathroom. Christian swung the door open harshly and then slammed it shut.

"Did you love him?" I heard Christian ask. I thought that was a strange question. It would take a lot to try to remember what it was like before everything went to hell.

"Christian," I said. He slammed his fist into the wall. I opened the curtain and saw his hurt expression. He was scanning my entire body and I don't know what he was thinking but it might have been similar to what I knew I wanted to do. I grabbed his head and leaned it in closer to mine. I kissed him with so much force and passion. My hands held his head in place but then I let them linger down his face to his arms and then down to the hem of his shirt. I pulled it up and he quickly raised his arms to let me. He quickly took off his jeans and picked me up. I wrapped my legs around his waist and continued to kiss him. He quickly thrust himself inside me and I lean my head back. Christian then starts to kiss my neck and makes his way to my breast. He bites down on one and then licks all around my n****e. He pushes deeper inside me and starts to howl. I scratch all up his back and he starts to slam me into the shower wall. I moan uncontrollably.

"You like that, don't you baby," he says in a low whisper. "c*m for me."

"Christian!," I shout. I feel his c**k twitch inside me as he releases his seed in me.

"Your mine," he says. "Only mine."

After the intense moment in the shower, Christian got one of his men to bring my shopping bags from the car. I got dressed in front of Christian and he definitely approved of my new lingerie sets. I wore a pair of distressed joggers and a pink cami. We laid back on his bed and Christian pulled me in close to him.

"I don't think I deserve you," he said.

"You deserve a second chance," I said. He looked up at the ceiling for a second.

"A Lycan huh," he said. "I thought they were all dead. Heck, some people think they are myths."

"Well, most of them are dead but some are just tired of this world and live for the sake of it," I said.

"So your not the only one left?" he asked.

"No, not by a long shot but I am the only one out in the open I guess," I explained.

"What about your pack," he said.

"Pack, hmm well we don't have packs. We have, I guess friends. When we shift it is hard to stay sane but when you do master it and control the beast well we can be around others but before then it is nearly impossible. So packs are out of the question but we do have allies," I said.

"Oh, I'm starting to think we are the ones that got the short end of the stick," he said.

"Why?" I asked.

"Well, you guys get to choose. We are born to a pack and have a mate chosen for us by chance and are either alphas, betas, or omegas and so on," he explained.

"Hmm I see what you mean but still your kind has a lot more control over the creature you shapeshift into," I said. He smiled and started to play with my hair.

"So what happened to your mate?" he asked with a sharp tone.

"He, he, he was truly evil," I said. "I chose wrong." He stayed quiet and I could see he wanted to ask more but never did. "Nickolai betrayed me and my family but I did what I had to do. I killed him."

"So it's just that easy," he said.

"No, it's not easy but it has to be done," I said.

"How long did it take you to come up with this decision," he said harshly. "Did you wake up and say yep today I will kill the love of my life."

"No, but I didn't walk blindly to his actions and made my choice so he wouldn't hurt any more innocent people," I said. I was growing angry again so I got up from the bed and grabbed my stuff.

"Please, don't go," Christian pleaded. "I'm not trying to fight or hurt you especially because of her. I'm just taking this one step at a time."

"That almost cost your beta his mate," I said angrily. "Look, I'm sorry but I still have to go." He walked over to me and grabbed me.

"I'll figure it out and I will make this work," he said.

"I know," I said. I kissed him and held him tight. I started to walk towards the door and he shouted

"I WON'T LOSE YOU."

As soon as Sapphire left I walked downstairs to check on my pack. Everything was running smoothly until Cole showed up.

"No more Luna," Cole said.

"SHUT UP!" I said. "I'll get her back."

"Well, guess who made an appearance on elm street," Cole said.

"Jessica," I replied.

"Yeah, she killed another pack and they just happen to be in possession of more historical crap. So it looks like she is looking for something," he said.

"s**t!" I shouted. "Where, take me there now."

I made my way back to Henry's penthouse.

"We have a problem," he said.
