My Second Chance

Sapphire's P.O.V

I pretended to be asleep as my mates scent enveloped me.

"You aren't asleep kitten." He stated before crawling into the space beside me, wrapping his strong arms around me. I internally groaned. Great, just great.

I made no response and kept my eyes shut. "Hey, you aren't asleep." He poked the upper of my arm. "I'm going to." I mumbled. "Okay. But it doesn't change that I want to annoy you." He chuckled. "Well, it's working." I muttered. "So... What did you and my mother talk about?" He asked questionly. I felt my muscles tense up at the topic. "It's nothing. Go to sleep, okay?" I said, forcing my tensed body to relax and snuggling into his chest, relishing the comfort it provided.

"I don't want to sleep." He grumbled. "Why?" I asked, turning around to face him. "How can I sleep when I have such a gorgeous girl beside me?" He grinned and kissed me hungrily. Awww, Gwen cooed and I internally swooned. But I knew that I would let something about me and Georgia slip if I wavered. So instead, I snorted. "I'm not beautiful." I scoffed. Ryder widened his eyes as if my comment was faker than a plastic Barbie. Yes, I just used a Barbie to describe the moment, deal with it. P.S. to all those Barbie lovers out there, no offense. "You gotta go get glasses or something." He muttered. "Flattery will get you nowhere. Now sleep, I'll make you breakfast tomorrow." I smiled sweetly. "Come on, just a little make out session?" He had his grey puppy eyes on.

"Fine." I sat up and straddled him. He had a devilish grin on his face. I mean, who can say no to those beautiful eyes?

Sure, that's the reason you agreed, Gwen snorted. Yeah, it's not like you actually internally wanted it or something. It's not like I can read your mind and know how you feel...Gwen drawled. No... I had no choice, I argued. But a little part of my brain said in a pitched and high voice, well... Shut up, brain, I snapped mentally.

After a 15 minute hot and heavy make out session, I was lying on the bed panting. "Gods you taste amazing." He smirked. I let out a little laugh. "We can do it tomorrow again right?" He asked hopefully. "Maybe." I teased. "Oh come on." He groaned. "Okay, fine. Just go to sleep. And mind you, no drawing on my face again." I gave him a warning glance. "Okay." He kissed me lightly and I snuggled into his chest once more.2

In a few minutes, he dozed off and snored lightly. I thought back at Georgia and I's conversation.

is soundproof so we can talk without been heard." Georgia stated as she pushed two wooden doors open, revealing a large room, almost as large as my mate's office. I knew that this was the room where meetings were usually held as I stepped in. It had a heavy and solemn atmosphere. It just made me more panicked

Well, guess again. While werewolves needs to be careful of silver, I have to avoid both silver and gold. Yup, that's my life.

slipped out of my mouth. "To answer your question, no. I'm not killing you." She smiled. I blinked once, then twice. "You aren't killing me?" I widened my eyes in disbelief, my gaze flicking between the dagger and her face. "Why should I? You mean no harm." She shrugged. "No harm? How can you be so sure?" I scoffed. "Please, if you wanted to kill us all, you would've done it earlier, once you reached this pack." She
