Alpha's Second Chance novel Chapter 208

ROSE

We lay here for what feels like hours. None of us are saying anything; we just lay here looking at each other. But den, he smiled and moved a little so he could better look at me.

“You want to live in America with your family.” He says this not as a question but as a statement

“I do. Sorry.” I whisper, but he just smiles.

“Don’t be sorry. I don’t mind moving. I have no family here that holds me back, and we can always come back to visit. All I ask is that I can still train,” he says.

“My dad let everyone who wants to train do it. He will be happy that you want to train.” I tell him.

“Good, and I do not expect some high rank just because I am your mate.” He says.

“I know, and that I will leave it to my dad to decide,” I say.

“Perfect. Anything you want?” He says.

“I want us to get to know each other before we mark and fully mate,” I whisper, and he smiles.

“Of course.” He says not even blinking.

“And I want to keep training with my mom. She has always been teaching me, saying it's important I can still protect myself.” I say, and he smiles bigger.

“Again, of course, your mom is right. But now I’m confused,” he says.

“Why?” I ask.

“Are you not here to find your mom?” He asks.

“My biological mother, yes. She broke my soul as a baby, rejecting me as her child. She might been the one giving birth to me, but she is not my mom. My dad’s second chance mate is my mom, and I love her. I know it sounds like a mess.” I say, but he just smiles.

“No, it makes perfect sense, but why are you looking for this woman then?” he asks, and it is only fair he knows.

“Growing up, I was always treated well but also always felt a hole inside me. When my dad found my mom, that changed it a little, but when I turned 18 and didn’t get my wolf, I felt broken. Packmembers treated me differently, and my first mate rejected me. Only my family still treated me as always. But it made me want to know how Mia could reject and leave a two-month-old baby.” I tell him, and he nods his head.

“I think I can understand that. I will be by your side and help you find her,” he promises.
