BREE'S P.O.V:
My heartbeat picked up, a torrent of increasingly furious heartbeats. Fear was racing through me and it felt as if I was frozen in time. He escaped..

My breathing increased and before I knew it I was hyperventilating. Overwhelmed with the realisation, I couldn't calm myself. My fear of my old life enveloped me and it was like a ten ton weight holding me back. I could never escape it.

My old life taunted me, the beatings, the pain... I couldn't go back, not now, not ever. It was all too much, how had he escaped so easily? My tears continued to flow, my breathing getting louder as full on sobs escaped me. It was an uncontrollable fuel of sadness that spread through me, lighting a fire of emotions as it took over my body.

I focused on the floor, but it was merely a blur through my tear filled eyes as it failed to distract me.

Cautiously, Theo called out to me from the other side of the bathroom door but I couldn't open it. I couldn't let him see me like this.

"Bree I'm going to open the door, I need to see your okay. I can hear you crying" he voiced, sounding broken himself. Gently he pushed it open and at the sight of me he rushed over, hugging me as if he would never let me go.

My wolf called out, the connection between us all soothing me as my rapid breaths slowly calmed down. I buried my head in his chest as if I could never feel close enough to him. I wanted to be touching in every way, skin on skin, unable to become any closer.

I hid the thoughts, blushing through my tear stained face. I pushed myself further into his chest, if that was even possible. I don't know what I would do without him, he gave me a purpose and without him I was nothing. I was a broken mess but he had fixed me and was holding me together.

"Promise me you won't ever leave me Theo?"

"I promise Bree, your my everything."

I smiled through my tears before drifting slowly away into a deep sleep, the exhaustion of my panic to much to handle.

...

(later that day)

My eyes fluttered open, blinking rapidly to adjust to the brightness. Groggily, I sat upwards, letting out a ginormous yawn as I stretched my hands high above my head, releasing the tensions in my muscles.

A slight giggle came from my left, and I glanced over making eye contact with my favourite cheeky little boy. "bwee!" he squealed in delight. "Your awake!"

I chuckled before he ran at me, knocking the air out of me as he clung to my neck his small body hitting me like a ball of joy.

"so...munchkin, how you feeling?" I asked him through my chuckle at his excitement.

His only reply was another squeal in delight. At that moment, a gentle knocking occurred from the bedroom door before it opened, revealing Jennifer, the luna of the pack.

She grinned at me, before pointing a daring finger at George, "I thought you were told to stay out of here mister!"

He grinned cheekily before darting away as his mom chased after him, threatening the deadly tickle. Once he had left she turned to me before passing me a glass of water and sitting down beside me.

She looked up, her eyes screaming desperation and the need to speak obvious as it radiated off her. She finally snapped breaking the tension and asking "are you okay?"

"I'm doing alright, just shocked that's all. Im terrifi... Well... I'm just unsure but don't worry I'll be okay."

She smiled, uncertain before replying "I just want you to know, you can always talk to me. I know I can never comprehend your situation but you're the future luna of our pack and I think you need someone to rant to every now and again." she rambled out, tripping over her words as she forgot to take a breath between words. A gentle blush rose up her cheeks.

I let out a slight smile as I glanced up at her, "Thank you. Thank you so much for treating me like family.. For loving me. I couldn't have done it without all of you and for that I'm never going to be able to repay you."

She smiled widely before leaping at me and bringing me into a heart warming hug. I grinned, reflecting on the day which had been a whirlwind of hugs and love. My life was finally getting there, I had people who loved me and a family that accepted me. I was happy.

COOPER'S P.O.V:

I raced off, never looking back. With the help of Melissa, the pack warriors daughter, I had successfully escaped and now it was time to reclaim what was mine.

That bitch thought they loved her, she thought she was safe but how wrong she is. She can never receive love for she is undeserving, she is nothing. The only thing that spiteful fat baboon deserves is a slap to the face and eternal loneliness.

I won't rest until she's put back where she belongs. She's the reason my love is dead, its all her fault and she will pay. If it wasn't for her waste of life her gorgeous mother would be alive right now instead of rotting in the ground.

It should've been her hanging from that rope, not my dear Maria. It should've been her blood, not my darling wife's. Rage contorted upon my face as my wolf howled, anger surging through me.

She was my second chance mate, my only other chance at happiness and Bree destroyed that.

I'm going to get her and I'm going to kill her if it's the last thing I do...

Just a little explanation. A second chance mate is what happens when you lose your first mate or they reject you, it's rare but it happens. It's just another change to find love for wolves.
