“Gerald, I am so sorry I need to be here for Ayla now, give me a minute okay” Jessa told her mate.
No doubt showing my weakness, driving the point home I am truly unfit as a Luna. More and more I
came to the conclusion that David was right. For some weird reason mine and Hannah’s matebounds
got crossed. I wondered if this meant that Griffin was actually her second chance mate. After all if she
lost out on her matebond with David because of that mistake she lost her true mate with out it being her
fault. Meaning that she was worthy of a second chance mate atleast in the eyes of the Moon Goddess.
For some reason the idea of her being with Griffin upset me and Willow more than knowing she would
soon be the Blood Moon’s next Luna if this ‘weekend didn’t work out for her.

Jessa had led me to the bar and found us a somewhat secluded corner to talk. Of course she figured I
was happy about finding a second chance mate. She loved me and because of it she was blind to the
fact that if I was unworthy of David, I would be even more unworthy of Griffin. She listened to me but
couldn’t stop herself from interupting trying to convince me I was more than capable of becoming a
Luna.
“Well his Beta to be just told me he didn’t want to have anything to do with me before. Only when he
found out that the Moon Goddess paired us together. It’s just a waiting game before he rejects me too”
I sighed looking into my glass which I had drank far to quickly.

“I’m sorry to interrupt you guys and I never meant to eaves drop but that is not what he meant” The guy
who walked up to me and Griffin with Dillion had walked up to us.
Up close I could see the beautiful intricate mark baring Dillion‘ s name. Showing me I was right and that
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthis guy was indeed Dillion’s mate. Which he confirmed when introducing himself.
“I’m Stanley, Dillion’s mate. He has told Prince Griffin a little about you. How he figured you were the
perfect chosen mate for him. Prince Griffin did say he was not interested, not in choosing a mate when
there was still time left to find his fated mate. He had not seen, smelled or heard you in that moment.
We figured out you were his fated mated seconds before you started running away. I don’t know what
happened before but Griffin said you were thinking about giving him a chance. If so you atleast need to
know the truth okay” With that he left us after giving one last gentle smile.
was reeling with all the new information. It made it hard for me to know what I was feeling. Deep down I
knew the easiest thing was to walk up to Griffin and ask him to talk to me. Tell ask him to talk to me.
Tell him about all my doubts and asking him to be honest with me about what he was feeling. And I
would later tonight, I needed some time to process all this. I wanted to get to know my best friends
mate better. Most of all I wanted to know what their plans were. Only now the knowledge that my friend
might move in with her mate right away was settling in.
“Let’s enjoy our night for a bit, and I promise I will talk to him later okay?” I told Jessa.
She knew me better than anyone so she was a bit hesitant at first but finally agreed with me. When we
walked back to Theo and James Silver, Gerald was deep in conversation with them.

They all seemed to instantly hit it off and it made me smile.
Now Gerald focussed his attention on me, asking about me getting to know me. He obviously avoided
the mates topic and Griffin. It made the conversation feel a bit awkward and forced but through it all, I
could feel he was a good guy. One that was over the moon with having Jessa as his mate and it was all
I could wish for my best friend.
“I will be traveling to your pack Ayla, I want to do things properly so I will ask Alpha Phill*pe if it is okay
for Jessa to move in with the Silver Moon pack,” Gerald explained.
For a moment I was confused but then it dawned on me, we had been telling everyone I would travel to
the Blood Moon Pack with the Phill*ps. To make sure we didn’t raise suspicion about my plans for after
the ball. Finding out that Jessa was going to move here eventually was a double–edged sword. I
thought the world of her, so naturally I wanted her to have the ‘world. Gerald could no doubt give it to
her. But how awkward
would it be to visit her after Griffin had rejected me? She
wouldn’t just be one of his packmembers. Her mate is one of his best friends and would be his Gemma.
“He is not gonna you know,” Gerald said shooting me a look I could only read as pity.
“Don’t tell him I said that he mindlinked me not to try and sway your mind either way. He wants you to
give him a chance because you want to. Not because others have convinced you” Gerald continued
smiling at me.
“Thank you, I just need to go outside for a minute. I will be right back” I told the others.
Gerald saw this as the perfect moment to ask Jessa for a

dance and Theo and James soon followed suit. No doubt
excited to be able to share a dance too.
Not me, because I had to decide what I was going to do. I could travel back to the Blood Moon pack
with Gerald and the Silver’s tell Alpha Phill*p I would be staying at the castle for a few weeks before
coming back here and giving him a chance. I had to stop at the White Oak pack on the way there. To
tell my family what was happening, and to ask Aunt Lina about second–chance mates. She was one of
Grandma’s closest friends, Daniel was named after her mate. Apart from their friendship Aunt Lina’s
knowledge about werewolves, our traditions, and the Moon Goddess made Grandma choose her as
her Gemma. She never stopped learning new things either. If there would ever be anyone who could
tell me if you can get a second chance mate after being rejected it would be her.
Giving Griffin a chance was scary, but I know how it feels to be rejected for things you cannot help. And
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmI would never wish for someone to undergo that same pain as I had. Not without giving them a chance
first. The Silver’s were easier to find and when I told them to switch the plane tickets to a direct flight
home. Explaining I decided to give Griffin a chance. And how I planned on doing that made them
happy. Like I expected to I knew they all just wanted me to be happy. Somehow they were convinced
that giving Griffin a chance was the way to find that happiness.
“I saw him slink off with his parents, there is a door at the end of the room. Just go through there the
King and Queen will be most happy to meet you” Gerald’s words were reassuring.
Taking a deep breath I made my way toward the direction he pointed in. Sure enough, there was a door
there. Just as I put my hand on the doorknob to enter I heard voices, one I

recognized as Griffin’s I could only catch the last bit. He said something about fated mate.
This was it he was talking about me, it would be the right time to introduce myself to them. I second–
guessed my resolve to just walk in and figured I should knock first. Just as I raised my hand another
voice boomed from behind the closed door..
“No way, I will not allow it. You will need à Luna, a Queen, the Luna of all Luna’s”
As I suspected the King and Queen were not accepting of a weak small werewolf as their future
Queen. Who knows with Blood Moon pack members present they might have heard some rumors too.
Even if I could not hear what the Queen was saying as the voices quieted down a bit I knew it wasn’t
anything good. Desperate to hear more, to try and find information to prepare for my second rejection I
pressed my ear against the door. It was Griffin who spoke again and what he said gave me the strength
to know what I needed to do.
“Then I will choose a suitable mate and marry her.” He said, before I heard footsteps heading to the
door I was currently pressed against to eavesdrop on a private royal conversation.
