Chapter 40: Chapter 41: A Second Chance
Beta Michael sign wearily and pulled Elijah into a tight embrace, "please don't ever scare me like this again, I have never been scared like today in my entire life ."
Pulling back from their hug beta Micheal looked at Elijah square in the eye "please don't ever leave me," he whispered before capturing Elijah's lips in a slow and sensual kiss pouring out all his love and affection, all the unspoken words and promises ,he allowed their lips to converge it to each other .
He gently nibbled at Elijah's lower lip, his tongue seeking permission to enter Elijah's mouth.
Elijah open his mouth wider allowing beta Micheal's tongue to slip in, beta Michael's hands began to roam around Elijah's body, exploring every curve and contour as he deepened the kiss, forgetting they were not the only ones in the room , Elijah moaned and lean into the kiss wrapping his arms around Beta Michael's neck.
Alpha Thane and Seer Namarie exchanged a knowing smile, happy to see the two mates reunited and in love. they knew it was time to give them some space. Alpha Thane cleared his throat to catch the attention of the kissing couple.
Beta Michael reluctantly pulled back from Elijah's lips, his eyes never leaving his mate's face. Elijah suddenly feeling shy hid his face in Beta Michael's chest, a soft smile spreading across his face.
Alpha Thane winked at his beta knowing fully well that Micheal didn't like him interrupting his moment with Elijah, "Now that Elijah is alive and okay, it's time for us to take our leave. Once Elijah has regained his strength and is feeling well, Beta Michael, you should bring him to my office so we can discuss your mating ceremony and introduce him to the rest of the pack members."
Beta Michael nodded, kissing Elijah's forehead before standing up from the bed. "Thank you, Alpha Thane, for everything. Your support means a lot to me."
He turned to Seer Namarie, his eyes filled with gratitude. "And thank you, Seer Namarie, for saving Elijah's life. I owe you a debt of gratitude that I can never repay in this lifetime."
Seer Namarie smiled, "You don't owe me anything, Beta Michael. I'm just glad that I could help."
Elijah looked up at Alpha Thane and Seer Namarie. "Thank you both for saving my life. I don't know what I would have done if..."
Seer Namarie moved closer to Elijah and placed a gentle hand on his shoulder, "Don't worry about that now Elijah, Just focus on getting better, and let Beta Michael take care of you. You're safe now, and you have a whole pack that cares about you."
With that, Alpha Thane and Seer Namarie took their leave, leaving Beta Michael and Elijah alone to cherish their reunion.
After Alpha Thane and Seer Namarie excused themselves, a nurse entered the room to check on Elijah.
"He's okay, but we'd like to keep him under observation for the rest of the night," the nurse explained to Beta Michael, who nodded in agreement.
Alpha Thane decided to walked Seer Namarie to her quarters before retiring for the night, the two of them strolled through the quiet pathway leading to the pack house.
As they reached Seer Namarie's door, she turned to Alpha Thane with a curious expression. "What's your decision about Aiden?."
Alpha Thane stopped walking and sighed, rubbing the back of his neck. "To be honest, I haven't had a chance to discuss the matter with my mate yet. The issue with Elijah...it's taken up a lot of my attention. But I plan to talk to her about it as soon as I get back to our quarters."
Seer Namarie nodded understandingly. "I see. Well, I'm sure you'll make the right decision, Alpha Thane. You always do, just be quick about it we don't want another attempt on his life again."
Alpha Thane smiled, "I know seer, I'll be quick about it, once I talk to Lila about it we'll start preparations for his travel." With that, he bidding Seer Namarie good night and turned around making his way back to his quarters, his mind already turning to the conversation he needed to have with his mate about Aiden.
As he entered their cozy bedroom, he was greeted by the warm glow of soft lighting and the comforting scent of his mate presence, he smiled as he saw his mate still awake and waiting for him.
Luna Lila, sensing her mate's arrival, looked up from the book she was reading and smiled warmly. She closed the book and set it aside, rising from the couch to greet Alpha Thane, she opened her arms enveloping him in a warm hug.
Alpha Thane felt a wave of relief wash over him as he wrapped his arms around his mate, holding her close. the stress and worries of the day melting away as he inhaled the sweet scent of Luna Lila's hair and felt the gentle pressure of her hug. Alpha Thane closed his eyes, letting out a deep sigh as he allowed himself to relax in his mate's embrace.
Luna Lila held him tightly, sensing the tension in his body. She whispered softly into his ear, "I'm glad you're home, my love. I was worried about you."
Luna Lila pulled back slightly from the hug, her eyes filled with concern. "How's Elijah? or is that not the name you told me the rogue wolf bears, she asked.
Alpha Thane laughed and shake his head . " He's not a rogue wolf anymore Lila He's beta Micheal mate and a new member of our pack. To answer your question he's going to be okay, thanks to Seer Namarie's intervention. She gave him a potion that saved his life."
Luna Lila squeezed her face together . " I'm sure Beta Michael is overjoyed."
Alpha Thane nodded, a small smile on his face. "He is. He's ecstatic that his mate is going to be okay. I've never seen him so happy."
Luna Lila rolled her eyes, "I'm happy that beta Micheal found his mate, but i don't trust that rogue and i don't think I'll ever be comfortable with him being in our pack.
Alpha Thane pulled away from the hug, his eyes locking onto Luna Lila's, "I've talk to him and i knew he's just a victim of Alpha kael. His entire pack was slaughter and he was kept alive because Alpha kael needs people to do his dirty deeds, the guy nearly died, please baby give him a chance to prove himself worthy of your trust, please for the sake of beta Micheal."
Luna Lila sigh and cast her eyes down contemplating in her mind whether to not trust the rogue wolf that nearly killed her child or forgive him and give him a chance to redeem himself, finally deciding to do what her mate wanted, "fine I'll give him a chance , but he better not ruin it or I'll skin him alive".
Alpha thane gave her a quick kiss on her forehead and smile, "thank you baby, i promise that he won't ruin it.
Luna Lila sat on their bed and patted the space next to her gesturing for her mate to sit beside her ,"I'm still worried about beta Micheal , i know it's a good thing that he found his mate ,but want would the pack members think when they found out that his mate is a man."
