My Second Chance novel Chapter 30

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 fell off the couch in surprise. Clover snorted at my sudden weakness. "Shut up." I mumbled and stood up. "Sapph?" Ryder furrowed his eyebrows.

I take back what I said, he is smart enough, Drew muttered.

I spinned to face him. "Uhhh..." I drawled. "Sapphire Jackson." He growled. Okay, I'm freaking out now, Gwen whimpered. He knows we're hiding something, no point of hiding stuff anymore, Drew sighed in defeat. Oh shut it, I mumbled. "Sapphire Beyonce Jackson." He growled, eyes turning a shade darker. "Ummm... Uhh..." I stuttered. "You better tell me what you've been hiding since you got here till this fucking minute." He growled, standing up and taking an intimating step towards me. I gulped.

"Clover, leave us for a moment." Ryder said, his voice deep and full of control, his eyes never leaving mine. Shit, the protective and possessive Alpha side is coming out. And let me tell you, Alpha's like knowing everything.

Clover gave me a small smile and left without a word, knowing well that this was my fight. Well, shits gonna happen.

"Sapphire." He growled as the door shut behind Clover. "What, no Sapph? No kitten?" I laughed nervously. "I don't want to act lovey dovey with someone who doesn't trust me. I'm fine with something steady, but it won't work out if you never trust me." His beautiful grey eyes turning almost pitch black. His words was like a knife who stabbed me repeatedly in the middle of my heart. Right in the middle.

I saw hurt, possessiveness, anger and something which scared me with its intensity... love. I didn't need him to mark me to know that, I see it everytime I look into his eyes.

I wanted to tell him I love him so badly. That I've never not trusted him. That if he told me the earth was actually square and not round, believe it or not, I would've believed him. That's how far I've gone.

And it scared me.

Here's your last chance of changing decisions, Drew reminded gently. I feel a war brewing inside me. So what is it? Gwen mumbled. The mental debate I was having gave me a little migraine. This is your last chance. You can either leave tomorrow like planned or tell him and solve it together, Drew said calmly.

"Sapphire Beyonce Jackson, answer me when I'm talking to you!" He roared in anger. His Alpha side is out. I've never seen him so angry, to tell the truth, it scared me shitless. 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 mind. Whatever you choose, the choice is yours, Drew said quietly and blocked herself from me.

I forced the tears to not drop from my eyes. I willed a stone wall in my mind. I made my face expressionless.

No backing out now Sapphire...

I looked up at him and forced words I never wanted to use out of my mouth.
