Chapter 20: Second Chance Mate Astrid's POV As a person who had lost her mate to another woman, I think that's enough forto understand what it feels like to lose your mate to death.
Although both things are entirely different, I still know how much Drystan suffered when his mate died.
Drystan lost half of him when his mate died and he never recovered from her death. After many years had passed, I know he still loves his mate now and he would choose to have her over and over again if he could.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIf there was a way to bring someone back to life, he would have traveled around the world to find the procedure that would bring her to life instead of searching for his second chance mate to replace the first one that he had and loved. As an Alpha, Drystan needs to have a Luna that could lead his Pack by his side. He did not look for his second chance mate because he had already moved on, he searched for her for the sake of his Pack.
It must have hurt more for him to be forced to find your second chance mate when you haven't yet recovered from the death of your first.
Drystan's life is the saddest story that I know, yet I'm proud of him for still holding on.
"My sister and I only have each other," Nova smiled at her memory.
For Drystan, they only had each other too. Everyone knows the story of how Drystan was the most powerful son and how he deserved to be the Silvermoon Pack's Alpha. However, he was excluded just because he wasn't the firstborn. His mate must have been with him during those hard times.
"My sister was born ten years earlier than me," Nova continued. "When I was only four, our parents died and she had to be both a mother and a father to me. At such an early age, she could have just abandonedor putup for adoption, but she raisedon her own. She was never able to enjoy her teenage years because of me." I felt sad for Drystan's mate, but at the stime, I am amazed by her resilience and courage to raise up her sister alone at a young age.
If she's still alive, I know she would be happy to see how her sister grew up and it's all because of her.
I didn't have to meet her to see what a great person she had been. Just looking at her younger sister, speaks volumes to what she had been like.

Nova forced a smile on her face. "When I was little, I was so excited to grow up so I could take care of her, but she never gavethe chance to do that." My heart tightened at her words. "I'm sure she wouldn't want that. You will always be her younger sister. She would be more happy to take care of you than the other way around." "I know it is selfish ofto say this, but I'm glad that my sister met Drystan before she died. The times she was with Drystan were the happiest moments of her life.
for just a short time, I'm glad that she had her chance to be happy." Nova confesses.
"I'm sure Drystan is also thinking the sthing. Kknow he never mentions anything, but just as how your sister has been a blessing to you, she must have been a blessing to her mate also. Wherever your sister is right now, I'm happy as long as there she'd be both of you are happy," I comforted her.
I leaned forward and hugged Nova, knowing that warmth and a tight hug were what she needed right now.
I thought she chere to comfort me, but it had turned the other way around because of my question.
Now that I heard the whole story, everything started to make sense. It turns out Drystan is treating Nova as his own younger sister on behalf of his mate who devoted her life to taking care of her younger sister.
