My Second Chance

Sapphire's P.O.V

"Sapph?" A voice asked groggily. I leapt out from bed and landed on the floor, surprised.

My eyes adjusted slowly to the darkness around me. "Ryder?" I rubbed my eyes, yawning. "How... How long was I out?" My mate sat up, running a hand through hid messy hair. "Ryder!" I squealed in delight, tackling him causing him to lay flat on the bed with me straddling him as soon as my mind cleared from sleep. "Whoa! Friendly greetings around here now?" He chuckled, his arms wrapping themselves on my waist. I started to babble. "Are you okay? Are you hurt? Do you feel faint? Do you- " "Okay. Slow down there. I think what you just asked were more than greetings... Although a kiss would be preferred." A smirk tugged at his lips as he sat up, hugging me closer.

"How do you want me to act?! You fucking bastard! You had me worrying for two days!" Now the excitement had drained from me, anger cane flooding. "What do you mean?" He frowned, grabbing my arms before I could hit him. "You haven't opened your damn eyes for two whole days! I know it isn't your fault.. But come on! You scared the living shit out of me!" I yelled, tears pricking at the corner of my eyes. "Oh. It.. It happened again?" He mumbled. "Yes it happened." I growled. "Fine. I'm sorry for scaring you." He muttered and hugged me tighter, making me hide my face into his chest. His scent calmed me and all I could feel now was relieve. I'm not going to deny it... I really thought that he wouldn't wake up. It scared the shit out of me.

"It's okay. But, without a Luna..." I trailed off. "No. You are not going to mate with me just because of a little thing like this." He growled. "But. You'll weaken." I protested. "So?" He shrugged. Wrong move Ryder, it just made the anger in me boil. "So? What would I do without you you fucking jerk!" I growled, anger flooding into my words.

I don't need pity. Let's just take things slow. Okay?" Ryder said seriously, holding my shoulders in a tight but comforting grip. I nodded. We

for you too." I retorted. "You are just perfect Sapph. Seriously, perfect." He kissed my forehead but I just frowned uncertainly. "Believe me. I'll be fine. I don't want things to happen just because of rash decisions." He whispered, tracing

you love him and you know it, Drew shrugged. Well, you're wrong about me,

me out of my thoughts. "You cook?" I raised an eyebrow at him, pushing away all my earlier thoughts. "Yeah. A little." He shrugged. Sapph, eat, please. You haven't eaten for days, Drew pleaded. Starving isn't going to help anymore. Ryder

if I puke my guts out when I take a spoon of food? I asked exasperated. Try, Sapph, try to eat, Drew frowned. "Why not?" Ryder whined. "Fine, just... a little." I smiled a little. "Okay, I'm cooking omelets!" Ryder said excitedly. He jumped out of bed and dragged me together with him. "Are you even suppose to get out of bed?" I asked

making his abs outline on the thin shirt he had on, making me want to trace

"P... Put on your shirt." I gulped. "Why? Do I make you nervous?" He grinned, walking slowly to me, making his muscles flex. "N..No..." I stuttered. "Sure I don't."
