My Second Chance
#8 Meeting The Destined One

Sapphire's P.O.V

"Can I touch you?" He asked cautiously as if I was a hurt animal. I bit mylip. Isn't he gonna reject me or something?

He seemed to see the uncertain in my eyes. "I'm not going to hurt you."He frowned. Accept! Accept! I want to feel him, Gwen gushed. Drewgrumbled at her. I looked up into his eyes. There were so manyemotions swirling. It was like a confusing piece of art. But that was oneemotion that clearly showed. If I could choose a colour to represent it,it would be yellow. Because yellow stands for brightness and brightnessstands flexible happiness.

I took a small uncertain step towards him. Closing our distancebetween us a little.

He smiled at me. The cold blooded Alpha actually smiled at me. Hissmile was like the sun to my world, brightening every single thing inme. His smile was so contagious that even a small smile started to tugat the corner of my lips. He clicked open the other damn chain that waschaining me there with one hand while his other one was holdinggently to my already free arm. Just the touch of my mate made my wolfsigh in content. I placed my two free arms by much sides, admiring hismuscles that were flexing while moved.

"Are you tired?" He asked, concern etching over his features. I noddedmy head shyly. He smiled and picked me up bridal style so quickly that Isquealed. His chest vibrated as he chuckled. "Your voice is melodiousand angelic." He said as he nuzzle his head into the crook of my neck. Iblushed furiously. Not everyday you get complimented for your voicebeing melodious and angelic

"Sleep. I'll here someone to get you your belongings. I'll bring you to aroom to rest." He said softly. "I'm not tired." I protested. I actually am. Iam dead exhausted. I just want to spend every moment I can with himbefore I was forced to leave him. "You look like you are going to pastout in any second. Rest." He said more sternly. I nodded as he pressedhis lips to my forehead.

With that, I let the tiredness take over me. But not before thinkingabout the rumors that floated around him. He doesn't seem coldblooded.... Right?

Ryder's P.O.V

As I went closer to the cell, I smelled something sweet. I sniffed at theair. It smelt like strawberries and vanilla.

Mate! Jay, my wolf yelled excitedly. I stiffened. Mate? I have beenwaiting for ages to meet my destined one. I even had doubts that Iwould never meet her. My pace went faster as I neared the cell.Excitement racing through me.

The delicious scent got stronger and stronger. I stopped in front of themetal door. There was something different about her scent. It seemed...different. It was stronger than the usual scents. It had a strong alluringpower... yet repel you at the same time. It's strange. This kind of powercan start to manipulate people too. People around here should becareful of her.

What are you waiting for dumbass?! Our mate is in there. Open thedoor! Jay yelled at me. Isn't her scent a little... I don't know... strange? Iasked. Who frickin care right now?! She might be hurt!" Jay yelled. Thatput me in a frenzy. He's right. She could be hurt right now. Hey, I'm notthe total heartless douchebag people think I am. I slammed the dooropen. The scent hit me like a wave. It took all my willpower to not rushto the source of the scent. I remained calm, walking to where my Beta,Alec stood. He's also one of my best friends.

My eyes glanced automatically to the blonde standing there. Her facewas faced down and her bloodied yet wavy blonde hair hiding her facefrom me.

Doesn't she know that we are her mates? Jay asked confused, a littlehurt. I ignored him. One of her Silver chains were snapped. "Why is oneof the chains snapped?" I asked. It's nearly impossible to break silverchains as a werewolf. Get the chain off her! It's hurting her! Jay growled,his protective side coming out. Sorry dude. I want to but I can't let justguard down, I replied. Jay grumbled curses as I blocked him out. "Shebroke it." Alec growled. She must have done something to provoke himhuh? Alec is usually nice. I used the keyword, usually.

I walked further towards her. I could just drown in her exotic scent.

I felt a grin threatened to break onto my face. She has a fierypersonality huh? But seriously, How can a girl be strong enough tobreak those chain? Even I found it difficult, plus I'm a guy and all.

I felt a pull towards her. The unusual alluring power pulling me towardsher. So That's what I did. My feet walked over to where she stood.

I could feel her. She's broken and scared. But in the same time, theunusual power and confidence radiated off her.

"Leave." I ordered Alec. "Yes Alpha." He answered and walked away.Why? What's wrong? Alec asked, using the mind bond. She seems...Different... I answered. What- He started but I blocked him out. I don'twant to start rumors yet since I'm not sure she's my mate. I could hearher heartbeat go faster and her blood pump faster through her veins. Ifelt odd. Usually when I frighten people, I feel happy and proud... Butnow, I feel guilty for making her scared. What is she doing to me?What's wrong with my feelings?

I heard the metal door of the cell slam shut. Her fear increased. Guiltstarted weighing me down. Snap out of it, I scolded myself.

"Look up." I ordered her softly. Her face remained down. Somethingwet dripped onto the ground. I looked down to see a tear. How cansomeone who carries so much confidence cry? "Hey... I'm not going tohurt you..." I said softly. Why is she not giving us any response? Jaywailed as I felt his sadness and disappointment. Shit. This was sure toruin my most feared Alpha reputation. But who cares right now? All Iwanted was to give her comfort. She continued to ignored me. "Comeon... I promise to hurt you..." said softly. "Boys use these tones to justmake girls do what they want.” She sniffed. I was surprised when shetalked and a chuckle came out from mu mouth because of theresponse she gave me. Her voice was so angel like. Seriously... How cansomeone have such a soft and soothing voice?

Just then, I just realized that I chuckled. It was something almostimpossible to do. Not many people can make me smile yet she did andI just met her!

"You don't have to be afraid of me... I'm not one of those assholes whohave a different girl every night. Plus, I don't have STDs." I smiled.Smiling when I'm with her was almost... natural. I could feel her smile. Ismiled along with her. I placed a hand on her free arm to give herreassurance. I pulled back immediately as a weird feeling went throughme. "You're a hybrid!" I exclaimed. Her body tensed at the statement. Iinstantly regretted my decision. I don't really understand why she didn'twant people to know she's a hybrid. Hybrids are special, rare, sheshould be proud to be one. Is she half vampire? Or half fae?

I asked her to lift her head, I was dying to see her face. She obliged andlooked up. Shock went through me as our eyes met. How can someonebe so perfect? I sound like a girl fangirling now... Gross!

I could see fear and sadness in her electrifying sky blue eyes. There wasa tint of hope and tiredness in her eyes. I was hypnotized by herbeautiful eyes. I could just drown in them. I forcefully shifted my eyes toher other features. Her blonde hair cascaded down to her mid back.There were matted by a little blood, twigs and leaves. She had anhourglass figure. She must have starved herself harshly to do that. Iinternally winced at the thought of her suffer. She had a cute buttonnose and nice pink lips. They look so soft. I wanted to crush my lips tohers so badly. She..was perfect.

"Mate." I automatically growled out and my mate widened her eyes. Buthappiness and anxiousness was detectable in those blue eyes of hersand it made me happy.
