My Second Chance

Chapter 32: #32 The Cat Is Out Of The Bag

Clover's P.O.V

I walked on and on. Not resting till the pack house came to sight. I felt guilty for leaving Sapphire, but if that's what makes her happy, then so be it. Twigs snapped and leaves crunched under my feet as I neared the pack house. What would they say? I turned my back and betrayed them, would they take me back?

I turned away. I could lie to Sapphire that they didn't want to take me back. But where would I go? I couldn't return before 4 days. I sighed and sat down against the tree. I smelled a scent but was too tired to acknowledge it. The wind might have brought it here.

My eyes swept over the large mansion that had over 500 people leaving together. It was unusually quiet. They were all blissfully unaware about Sapphire's problem as she was forced to face alone. Guilt tugged at my heart. I left her to fend for herself. What if Graysen found her? What if those witches Sapphire told me about was really helping him? She would never get away. Sweat beaded on my forehead in terror at the images that flashed through my mind. I stood up abruptly. I had to be there for her, whether she like it or not.

"Glad to see you made your mind about whatever that was bothering you." I heard a familiar voice and my head snapped to the owner.

I couldn't describe how relieved I was to hear my childhood's friend's voice. Then again, I remembered the decision I made just a second ago. Great, now how do I get away?

"Why is the pack house so quiet?" I decided to ask a helpful question instead. "Something to do with you and Sapphire's disappearance." Cole shrugged. "Then why are you here?" I snapped. He raised his hands into a surrendering gesture. "I'm suppose to search this area." He sighed. "Good. Thank you for the chat, if you would excuse me, I have to go." I mumbled and turned away. A hand soon caught my arm. "Whoa. We've searched for hours, I'm not gonna let you go." Cole muttered and tugged me towards the pack house. "Let go you moron." I growled. "Clover, why the sudden hostileness?" He grumbled. "Wait." I said, stopping him in his tracks. He raised an eyebrow in question. "You are Cole... right?" I asked nervously and poking his cheek as I remembered what Sapphire had encountered at the forest the day before yesterday. He swatted my hand away. "No Clover. I'm actually Channing Tatum in disguise." He snorted. "Really? That guy's body is sooo hot..." I sighed. He snorted again and pulled me to the pack house.

"Fuck off Cole." I grumbled. "You gave us a hell lot of trouble young lady." He waggled his finger at me playfully which I rolled my eyes at. "Clover?" I heard another familiar voice and I was at once engulfed into a hug. "Hands of me, Lawrence." I snapped, pushing him back. Hurt flashed in his eyes. Well, you aren't the only one hurt pretty boy. My wolf howled in pain at the memory of being rejected. "You rejected me. What are you doing right now?" I growled and he looked down at his feet guiltily. "I never knew how much you meant to me Clover. Without you, I felt so empty. I'm really sorry. If you forgive me, I want you back as a mate. I'll stop all my player ways. Please, give me a chance Clover." He begged, his hand rubbing his neck, showing his embarrassment. My wolf howled in happiness. I still wanted to tease a little, hell, he deserved it. "I'll think about it." I nodded my face expressionless. "Thank you." He said happily and hugged me again. "Okay, too lovey dovey for me. Hands of her Lawrence. She has got to see the Alpha." Cole pinched the bridge of his nose and Lawrence then recluntly released me.

"Bye Lawrence." I yelled as Cole continued to tug me forward. After a while of silence, he spoke. "You know. You can scream out your happiness." Cole smirked. "What happiness?" I faked innocence. He gave me a flat look and I decided to let the happiness show. "Yes baby! Woo hoo! Take that haters!" I yelled and did an embarassing dance which I call a happy dance. "Okay. Too much happiness." Cole chuckled. "I can't help it." I shrugged and he grinned at me.

Soon, I reached the large door to the Alpha's office.

"Prepare yourself. He hasn't exactly been the cheeriest." Cole warned. "I didn't even know there was a word like that." I snorted and he gave me a bored look. "Now isn't the time to make fun of my vocabulary... I wasn't joking when I said the Alpha isn't in a good mood." Cole groaned. "Of course I know. You wouldn't think he would be cheery after all the things that happened, would you?" I smirked. "I see that Sapphire's fiery attitude had rubbed onto you." Cole groaned in frustration. The mere mention of my friend was enough for my mood to go straight down into a ditch.

to know." I snapped. "You'll have to tell us eventually." Cole tried to pry the answer out of me. Not gonna happen, buddy. "4 days." I said in monotone. "What?" He furrowed his eyebrows in confusion. I smiled sadly and

"You are not going to disrespect an Alpha like that." I roared, my wolf surfacing. She flinched a little. "You're not my Alpha. I'm a rogue now."

to know where she is." Cole said gently. "For what? I told you Cole. 4 days." Clover growled. "4 days what?" My third in command asked exasperated. "I can tell you in 4 days." Clover snarled.

what happens to rogues." I smirked, approaching the matter in the other way. "You mean the torture you inflicted on rogues before you met Sapph? Sure I do." She shrugged. "Aren't you scared?" Alex furrowed his eyebrows. "No. What I fear right now is Sapphire. Nothing in the world scares me more."

I said calmly while inside I was boiling like a volcano about to erupt.

You've a really nice head don't you? Use it!" She yelled at me. How did Lawrence even find this attractive? "Okay, calm down. You're going too far." Cole reminded her and she took steady breaths,

"Ding ding ding, we have a winner." She mumbled. I glared at her which surprisingly just bought an eye roll from her. "But, you guys never mated. She doesn't possess that
