Second Chance For A Warrior

-Chapter Three-

  Katrina

~Why did you lie to him Adri?~

I mind link her as we make our way further into pack territory, I can feel Seth's electric blue eyes on my every step, taking advantage of being behind me to stare. I'd be a liar if I said that I don't like it...it's just making it difficult to restrain myself. I shouldn't feel this way about him...I already found my mate, even if he isn't mine at all. So why do I feel the same pull, actually a stronger one, with this Alpha?

Unless, maybe...no, it's not possible.

~Because I know you don't want to talk about it...besides, it wasn't a lie, it just didn't happen to me.~

I stay quiet, trying desperately to sort out my tangled up emotions. Feeling the pull to both my ex-mate and Seth is confusing me, even if the former is weaker and the latter can't be real. Even Ziva is confused by the turmoil, leaving her quieter than usual.

~I think Alpha Seth has a thing for you, he's been staring at you since he showed up.~ Adri giggles inside my head. ~He's pretty sexy if I do say so myself.~

I try my best to hold it back, but me and Ziva let a faint growl through the link.

~Kat? What's wrong?~

I bite my mental tongue, not wanting to go into this now. Not with him right here.

~Come on Kat, talk to me...please?~

I groan, knowing there's no point in prolonging the inevitable.

~Something's wrong Adri. I'm feeling something I'm not supposed to.~

~Feeling what?~

~Something for the Alpha...~

~As in attraction? Honey I can tell. With how good he looks, I'd be worried if you didn't.~

I brace myself for the explosion of questions.

~More than attraction...like...a mate bond...~

Ten seconds of silence.

~WHAT!?!?!~

I physically wince at the volume of her voice.

~Are you sure?!~

~It feels stronger than the one I had with 'him', so I'm pretty sure...~

She's silent, but I can practically hear her wheels turning.

~I don't know what to do...this shouldn't be possible...the only way I can possibly have two mates is if they're twins...and we both know that isn't the answer here.~

~Kat, you know what this means. If you feel a mate bond then so does Alpha Seth, that's why he's been so focused on you.~

My mind whirls faster at the information, and I try my best to keep a straight face as we continue walking. How do I end up in these complicated situations? What do I do now? How am I supposed to handle this?
