My Second Chance

Chapter 30: #30 No Backing Out

Ryder's P.O.V

Something was bugging me.

I glanced over to Sapphire and Clover who were watching television. The relationship between them seemed... different. It's like they are able to communicate with mind link. But she's not Luna yet so that's not possible... It's like when Clover transformed, they became closer. Mentally and physically. See, and now Clover has a pissed off expression for no reason.

And then, there's something fishy about what happened yesterday. I was talking about the white wolf thing and not the walking back half naked thing. No wrong ideas...

But I wouldn't mind if she was fully naked, Jay waggled his eyebrows and send me some perverted talks about my mate. Our mate, he corrected. Whatever, I scoffed. I pushed the thoughts out of the way and continued with my thinking.

Shocker, I know.

I mean, normal werewolves transforming uses a lot of energy, some don't even survive. But she... She's a white wolf! It takes a hell lot of energy. How did she make it and even have the strength to walk back to the pack house? Nobody... and I mean nobody, can do that. I kept looking at Clover at the corner of my eye. Then, something clicked in me.

Sapphire's a hybrid. I felt it right when we met. But what kind? What's so powerful to chanel energy from themselves to someone else? Before I could stop it, the question slipped out of my mouth.

"Sapph, I totally forgot about this matter and all. But what kind of hybrid are you?"

Sapphire's P.O.V

I still think you should tell him, Clover said.

Since the energy channeling and all, surprisingly, I can mind link with Clover. Pretty cool huh? Not.

Are you crazy? I hissed at her. No, I'm not. And you know that it's the right thing to do, Clover huffed at me. Sorry dudette, not happening. Our relationship is in stake, I grumbled, glancing at Ryder for a second. It's either already at stake you know, She rolled her eyes. Thanks for making me feel better, I growled. Seriously, we'll be able to find a way out of this for you... You just have to tell him, please Sapph... Please, Clover pleaded. No Clover, I'm not risking anything, I snapped. How are you suppose to have friends then? If I didn't find it out yesterday, are you even going to tell me? She growled. I kept quiet, knowing that I wouldn't. I thought so, Clover snapped. Judging from the look on her face, she looked pissed off, like really, pissed off. Is she also PMSing? Cause I was kinda sure you're the only one here, Drew smirked. Shut up, I snapped. Someone's snappy, Gwen mumbled.

I saw Ryder move a little out of the corner of my eye. Something's bothering him, Gwen said. Yeah, I know, I muttered as I continued to observe him. Did he figure out something strange about yesterday's incident? My heart started beating a tad faster. Calm down, I don't think he's smart enough for that, Drew smirked. Hey, Gwen protested at the indirect insult. I'm not saying anything about you, Drew drawled. But Ryder's our other half, Gwen grumbled. Oh you know what I mean, Drew sighed in frustration and Gwen grinned cheekily at her.

"Sapph, I totally forgot about this matter and all. But what kind of hybrid are you?"

I made a decision and it would hurt me to see the hurt on his face. But I won't see it, because I would be thousand miles away by then. But... We won't be able to see him, or smell his scent anymore... Gwen whined. Shut up Gwen. I've enough pressure! I snapped. Fine, she snapped right back and moved to the furthest spot of my

By now, people were stopping to watch. I shook my head and wiped the tears off my face. "Why would I be not okay?" I growled.
