My Second Chance Alpha Mate
Chapter 25

(Gabriel)

I still couldn’t stop thinking about what Yashira told me this morning about her dream and Lacey. I’m happy for Lacey that she’s able to be with her first mate. I know what we first started she was feeling guilty because she thought she was going to replace her first mate with me, but I assured her that was not my intension. Now I’m glad to know that she’s happy again and that she’s watching over Tristan.

I sighed looking at the clock. I got up from my chair and went to go check on the guys. I say the guys because Donovan and Mitch were the ones in there since Sara, Rhonda, mom and Yashira’s grandma went out to get a few things for the room. I opened the door and saw what they have done. They have painted the walls a light grey while the ceiling stayed white. I was liking what they were doing.

“Alpha” they both said in unison bowing their heads.

“Please call me Gabriel. Also, I would like for you both to join us for dinner” I tell them.

“Thank you, A-Gabriel. It would be our pleasure” Donovan says.

“May I ask you both something?” I asked.

“You want to know why we are rogues?” Mitch asks and I nod.

“My father is old school. He thinks that mates should me male and female not male and male or female and female. My father ordered me to reject Mitch, but I refused. I love Mitch and know how special the mate bond is. So when I refused to reject Mitch my father banished the both of us” Donovan says.

“So, your father is an Alpha?” I asked.

“Yes, my father is the Alpha of the Green Forrest Pack” Donovan says. I’ve heard of that pack. The Alpha is said to be a very strict and old school Alpha. Also, an a*****e.

“If you both ever decide to be part of a pack again. I would love to have you join my pack” I tell them.

“We’ll think about it” Donovan says.

“Alright I will meet you both downstairs. I’m going to wake up my mate” I tell them. I turned to leave when I remembered the paper in my pocket.

“I have one more question. Have you guys seen this before?” I asked taking out a piece of paper with the symbol of the black rose. I showed it to them, and they looked at each other. The paper was inside of an envelope that was addressed to me. It didn’t have anything else but just the symbol of a black rose.

“Where did you get this?” Mitch asks.

“I founded on my desk inside an envelope that was addressed to me. There was nothing else inside” I tell them.

“Have you been having problems with rogues?” Mitch asks.

“Yes” I admitted.

“Do you know if any other packs have been having rogue problems or have received anything like this?” Donovan asks.

“Yeah, a few other packs have found them by their borders and have been attacked by rogues as well. AS far as I know the attacks were briefed and no one was injured. What do you know?” I asked.

“We’ve only heard rumors” Mitch said.

“The Black Rose is said to be a secret place three hunters have. It’s kind of like an organization but no one has ever seen this place or seen the hunters” Donovan says.

“Are they being other rumors about this?” I asked.

“It’s all we’ve heard but we can ask around” Donovan says.

“Just be careful. I have a feeling these rumors are not just rumors” I tell them before walking out of the nursery room to my room. I walked in the room and see my beautiful mate hugging my pillow. I sit on the bed and k**s her cheek. I heard her heartbeat pick up and her eyes flutter open.

“Hi my love. It’s time for dinner” I tell her.

“Okay” she mumbles. I help her up and she walks to the bathroom. After doing her thing in the bathroom I help her put on her flats and we walk downstairs to the dining room. When she walks in, she smiles when she sees Donovan and Mitch in the room.

“Mommy” Tristan runs towards us and stops just a foot away from Yashira before hugging her thigh. She smiles down at him and watches as Tristan pulls back and k****s her belly.

“Aww” everyone in the room says at what Tristan did which makes him blush. For dinner we are having lasagna, garlic cheesy bread, salad, and for desert chocolate mousse cake. We all sat and began to eat our dinner making light conversation. I looked around the table to see everyone was smiling and making conversation with Yashira except for one person. Kathy, Ashley’s best friend.

“I have a question for you. Are you sure this is the Alpha’s baby? You could’ve slept with any man and try to pin the baby on the Alpha, so he can leave Ashley for you” Kathy said making everyone stop and look at her. I growled at the disrespect making Kathy’s eyes widen and bow her head.

“Sweetheart can you cover your ears for a few seconds?” Yashira asked Tristan who covered his ears quickly.

“I don’t think my s*x life is any of your business, but I want to make things clear. I lost my virginity to your Alpha, who happens to be my mate. I’m not the type of woman who goes around having s*x with men for power or money. Omegas are the lowest ranks in a pack from what I have gathered. So let me put it you this way so your small brain can understand. Gabriel could be an Omega and I will still love him. He could be broke, and also homeless and I will still love him. He is the other half of my soul. The piece I never knew I was missing until I met him. So, to answer your previous question I am a million percent sure that this is Gabriel’s child” Yashira then looked at me and smiled.

“You are all werewolves here and have heighten senses. Why don’t you ask me what you want and listen to my heartbeat? This way you’ll know if I’m lying” Yashira said looking at Kathy.

“Okay. Were you really a virgin when you slept with our Alpha?” I already knew the answer to that.

“Yes” Yashira replied.

“Is this the Alpha’s baby?” Kathy asked. Shadow and I already knew this is our baby. We could feel it.

“Yes”

“Have ever had s*x with any other male after you lost your virginity to the Alpha?” Kathy asked. Everyone looked at Yashira, but my eyes were on Kathy. I knew my mate wouldn’t have cheated on me because I would’ve felt it.

“No” Yashira answered, and I couldn’t help but smirk.

“You need to be more respectful Kathy. Yashira is a good friend and also our Luna” Sara says.

“She is not my Luna” Kathy snarl and lunged at Yashira. I pulled Yashira to me while Rhonda grabbed Tristan. I looked my mate over to see if she was hurt.

“Are you okay?” I asked her.

“I’m fine” she assured me. I looked at Kathy to see her being pinned down by Jake, Donovan, and Mitch.

“Take her to the cells. Now” I said using my Alpha voice.

“Yes Alpha” Jake says and takes Kathy out of the dining room.

“I’m sorry” Yashira says looking down.

“You have nothing to be sorry for. You didn’t do anything wrong. I’m just glad you’re okay” I tell her. After Jake came back, we continued with our dinner. After dinner, Yashira sat outside. I was watching her from my office window that was opened slightly.

“Mommy?” I hear Tristan call. She turns and smiles bright when she sees him.

“Aren’t you supposed to be in bed by now, my sweet boy?” Yashira asks him.

“I can’t sweep. Can you tell me about my fiwst mommy?” Tristan asks and I see Yashira smile.

“Well, I only met your mom once in one of my dreams. She’s very beautiful with hair black as night and beautiful light blue eyes with a hint of red. She also has a sweet melodic voice” Yashira tells him as he sits on her lap careful not to hurt her stomach.

“Does she wove me?” Tristan asks. I could hear the sadness in his voice. He always asked about his mom. I knew he yearned for a mother’s love, and I was glad that we have Yashira in our lives now.

“Your mom loves you very much Tristan. She watches over you and your daddy every day and night to make sure you are both safe and loved. You are her heart and even though you can’t see her she’s always right here” she points to his heart “and here” she then points to his head.

“Since my fiwst mommy is in heaven did she send you to me and daddy, so you can wove us?” Tristan asks. I see a tear leave Yashira’s eye.

“I like to believe she did. Now sleep my sweet boy” she tells him and k****s his forehead while rocking him slightly.

“I wove you mommies” Tristan says closing his eyes.

“We love you too our sweet boy” Yashira says as more tears leave her eyes. Yashira reaches for her locket that Tristan has been wearing ever since Lita’s birthday party and opens it. Another tear falls.

“I miss you both” Yashira whispers before closing her locket and kissing it. She then reaches for her phone and types. My phone dings with a notification. I look at it to see is a text from my mate.

Yashira: babe if you’re not too busy can you come to the porch?

I smile at the text and leave my office. I go out to the porch and see Tristan fast asleep with his little hand on Yashira’s belly and his head on her breasts.

“He couldn’t sleep” Yashira says.

“He’s probably excited about tomorrow” I tell her.

“Probably” she smiles. I pick Tristan up and help get stand we walk upstairs, and I put Tristan in his bed while Yashira goes to our room. After covering him up I make my way to our room. I hear the shower running. The door is ajar, and I see Yashira looking at herself in the mirror.

“Will he love me after I give birth and my body is not as perfect as it used to be?” Yashira asks not realizing I was in the room, and I could hear her. My wolf whimpered at her words. I opened the door making her look at me.

“You have a beautiful body and I see what you have here” I point at her heart “that’s what I fell in love with. I will love you even if you looked like an ogre because you have a beautiful heart and you keep proving it to me more and more. I heard everything you told Tristan earlier, proving it to me again” I tell her.

“But I look like a whale” she whines.

“You are carrying a werewolf baby inside of you my love and to me you look beautiful” I tell her while looking her in the eyes so she could see I wasn’t lying.

“And I’m going to prove it to you” I said feeling determined.
