Second Chances - Completed

Chapter 3

Chapter 3:

        I groaned as my chest and head were considerably sore. Boy, what I wouldn't give for some ibuprofen right now. I rolled over and hit something hard. I furrowed my eyebrows, still keeping my eyes shut. Had I hit a wall the bed was against? No, I had to still be at Jonah's, and there, my bed was in the center of the room. Plus, I always slept on the left side of the bed and I rolled to my right. I opened one eye and screamed. Had I gotten drunk and slept with a guy?

        "Noooo....no. no. no. NO! This can't be happening!" I lept out of bed. The man jumped awake and looked around for any sign of danger. Sparks flew through my body as I saw his shirtless figure. He had on pants that were slung low and I couldn't help but admire every muscle on his body.

        "Are you okay?"

        "We....we didn't you know....." He looked at me with an eyebrow raised.

        "What? I'm sorry, I'm not following."

        "Oh My Gosh...we didn't have sex, right?" I finally blurted. His eyes shot open wide.

        "No. I would never take advantage of a girl like that. Especially my mate. I just fell asleep, that's all." I sighed, but when I processed what he said my eyes flew up to meet his.

        "Wait, we're mates?" He smiled, OMG his smile! It was like a million stars.

        "Last time I checked we were. I mean, I didn't even think it was possible yet here you are." I giggled. "I'm sorry, where are my manners. My names Alexander, Alexander Stone. You can call me pretty much anything, a lot of people call me Alex. Except my sister, Julie, she calls me Alexander, though I'm not sure why..." He went on a tiny rant until I walked up and kissed him on the lips.

        "I'm Baila, Baila Daniels."

        "What was that for?"

        "I've been looking for you for 10 months now. Who knew I'd find you at a wedding on the other side of the country!" Alex and I were the ones who Artemis was talking about. We were the .001%, I should've seen that one coming...

        "Wait. You knew about second chance mates?" Alex asked in wonder. I told him everything. From me getting rejected, to becoming Artemis's ambassador, to keeping Jonah from committing suicide, it all came flooding from my mouth.

        "Wow, you've had an interesting ride."

        "You don't say. So, what happened to me last night?"

        "Your first mate mated with another female. It sent your wolf into a frenzy and your body into shock."

        "Why?"

        "It was his wolf breaking off the last ties he has with yours. Finding me was the icing on the cake and what really did you over. Completely losing your mate, and finding your mate are two things a wolf wants to delve into fully. She or he needs the time to recuperate after that has happened and to cope with the changing scenarios. Your wolf had to take on both of those tasks at the same time and your body overloaded and began to shut down mentally. That's why you've been out for three days."

        "Three Whole Days!" Alex nodded.

        "You had me really worried."

        "I'm sorry, I didn't mean too."

        "No, it's fine. I totally understand."

        I couldn't help but smile at him. He was perfect, charming, not to mention sexy and incredibly attractive. I eyed him over from head to toe and he fell over laughing.
