Alpha's Second Chance by Salani

CHAPTER 19

OLIVIA

Jason and I took Anna to the café, where she was meeting her classmates. Then Jason took me to the mall. We talked about Anna and how their parents had adopted her. We talked about how he hated when other packmembers were cruel simply because she was human. He also thanked me for accepting her so fast.

We went into a toy store, and I went towards the girl area, and I decided to get her a new princess dress, a tiara, and princess shoes.

Other than that, I went into a jewelry store where I found a beautiful locket. It was gold, of course, so it wouldn't hurt her. It was engraved with a beautiful pattern on the outside and on the back of it said. “Family is the heart of home.”

“That is beautiful,” Jason said, and I smiled.

"Yes, she can put a picture in of her and Alpha Logan,” I say trying to ignore the pain in my heart. After we were done shopping for a gift, I found some stuff for myself, clothes, and some private supplies. When I was done, we went to eat pizza. Jason asked about my family and me. And I told him my mom died when I was young. He then asked if I was looking forward to turning eighteen, so I could meet my mate. And I told him I am, that I was raised with the belief that the matebond is a sacred thing and that the most precious thing you can experience Is having a life with your mate.

“I found my mate.” He suddenly says, but he looks anything but happy. I knew Jason was the same age as my brother.

"What happens? Did she... die?” I ask quietly. He gave a dry laugh

“No, she is very much alive... She rejected me.” He says, looking crushed.

"What? Why?" I ask, shocked. Because Jason seemed like a great guy, and I already knew from today’s training that he was a great fighter to become a warrior.

“Said she was too good to be the mate of a simple warrior... I see herald the time trying to get what she wants, but failing every time.” He says.

“You mean she is in Blood Moon Pack?” I ask.
