My Step-Dad Is My Mate novel Chapter 21

"Ooo child. Second chance mates? Why are you asking about that?" Mama Odie asked me as she raised a hairy brow and I rubbed my shoulder.

"Well...You know about my mate already...-"

"Mhm."

"I took this scent Mama. It was so sweet and amazing and I felt so lost in it and I heard you only take a scent like that from-"

"Your mate." She finished for me and I nodded.

Mama Odie rubbed her chin then snapped her fingers.

"Well...it be possible but that ain't happen for a long time child."

"All I need to know is that there's a chance it can happen." I felt a sudden excitement. Second chance mates are real and they do exist. That means I could very well have one. The scent I took could be my second Chance mate's! But wait...

"Mama Odie....if someone has a second mate...would they be able to sense them if they still have the first one?"

Mama Odie looked a bit taken aback by my question then she looked confused.

"No."

"No?" I asked again and she nodded.

"No." Mama repeated and I felt the little excitement I had go down in flames. That means I don't have one after all...

"Thanks for the help Mama Odie but I got to run home and prepare dinner..." I said softly.

"Aright child. Be sure to visit Mama. Now you hear me?"

"I'll visit." I told her with a smile and I intended on keeping my word.

"Wait" Mama Odie exclaimed, "You nah going to that meeting? I heard it's a big one."

I thought for a moment. Normally meetings involved every member of the pack but you can choose to attend or not if you haven't received a general notice from the Alpha himself.

"I don't think I will. I'll just get my mom to tell me what it's about."

"Alright child. Good night."

"Good night Mama."

Kaden'ѕ POV

"How about joined pack training in the open field between both our packs?" I added.

"Why joined?" Alpha Devon(Danica's Alpha. Sorry if I gave him a different name before) asked with a raised brow as he looked up from the map he was scanning profusely.

"Because your pack needs to know how to fight other wolves besides each other. They need to see different tactics, different movements besides sparing with their friends whose movements they already know down to the T. And you know better than anyone else in this room that tactics are everything in battle." I said as I eyed every person in the room with us currently at the meeting.

Devon nodded in understanding then clapped his hands.

"Everyone, take 5 then come back so we can get this done. I know you all probably want to stretch your legs by now."

Half of the room groaned in appraisal then bolted out of the room as quickly as they could include Devon but one woman lingered. One I knew all too well.

"Roseanna." I said with a nod. Her head shot up and looked at me. She looked scared or nervous.

Damn it's not like I was going to hurt her.

"Alpha Kaden." She replied with a nod back. "I just wanted to apologize to you. Personally."
