Another Chance Chapter Twenty Four
Luka’s POVThe more she was chanting, the more Emily’s once-resting face contoured in pain . Every once in a while, tears fell from her eyes and the lines on her face were becoming visible under the thin layer of sweat.The healer didn’t seem to notice, however. Her attention was focused entirely upon the world beyond here, beyond us. I had no idea what she was saying or how long it lasted but Emily looked like she hadn’t moved a single inch. Even though I could hear and smell the faint traces of her pain and agony.As the last words faded away, the healer closed her eyes and her lips moved silently for the longest time. Finally, the healer smiled as she stood up and moved with the bowl to Emily’s bed and began to smear whatever she had mixed in that bowl on Emily’s body .She spread the mixture over every single part of Emily’s body.Emily’s eyelids fluttered slightly.The healer continued to work on her, applying the paste in various places of the body, moving her arms and legs.

Emily's POVThe light seemed too bright and my eyes were almost tearing up. My head felt like I had been run over by a truck and it hurt as though I was being hit in the back of the head with a brick. The air stung at my lungs when I tried to inhale. I tried to breathe deep but the only thing that came out was an agonized gasp, followed by more coughing which made my throat burn and ache even more painfully.I gasped again and then I finally managed to clear my throat so that the coughs didn’t sound quite as painful or like they were trying to strangle me anymore. I looked up into the sun above me and squinted because I couldn’t really see anything.When my eyes finally adjusted, I realized I was in a familiar room.“Are you alright my dear?” A man was beside me, he looked and sounded so familiar and yet I couldn't place where I saw or knew him from.I nodded and as I struggled to sit up, he helped me, putting a pillow behind me so I could be comfortable.I looked around again wonde

Emily’s POVAfter my teary session, I calmed down and laid awake on the bed, tirely contemplating everything that has happened today. The fact that I have been crying made it seem even more surreal. The last few days were too weird for me to think about and now that I have, it is hard to process. Everything was too fast, so I had no time to adjust to what had just occurred.Clare came into my room holding a tray, her eyes warmed up when they saw me awake and she smiled as she placed the tray on my bed. A cup of tea. How thoughtful of her to take care of me. “I thought I'd never see you again. How are you feeling, dear?” she asked as she sat down on the side of my bed. I couldn't tell if I had imagined it but I could swear I had seen tears in her eyes.“I'm okay, thank you for caring for me. It really means a lot to me. But I can assure you that I am fine. And why were you crying?” I dared to ask.Her lips pursed, looking uncomfortable. She bit them before saying with a shaky voice,

Emily’s POVThe next day, it was as if nothing ever happened, like he didn't come to my room and I didn't see that tiny crack. He was nervous, he didn't seem to have it together like I had imagined or maybe it was just all in my head.He was back to being cold and when he came to my room, he stood at the farthest end as if I repulsed him with the mere sight of me. I wondered how much longer this would last before he left again. Would things ever get better? I didn't know why it bothered me. Maybe it was because my wolf wanted to get lost in his scent, I couldn't really tell.It was a foreign feeling. A weird, uncomfortable one that didn’t make any sense. I didn't understand why I felt so conflicted about him. There were many reasons but none of them felt right. It made me uneasy to think about it more. I decided not to dwell on it too much for now. I wasn't going to let my wolf win even though she had always been there for me and I knew she wouldn't leave now, not until we got everyth

Luka’s POV“Alfred?” I called out randomly from nowhere, it has been days since I left Emily’s room. I hadn't gone back there, I didn't exactly want to be around her, only my wolf wanted that and I deprived him of it.“Yes your Majesty” When I turned to look at him, he wasn't the same man I had known for almost thirty years now. How did old age catch up with him so fast? He was more grizzled and grey than I remembered, yet when I looked up into his eyes they were still as sparkling blue as they ever were. The only difference now was that they held a certain sparkle in them and not the old, sad eyes he used to carry whenever we failed our mate mission. it seemed he was satisfied with whatever out I had to deal with, he was satisfied with Emily.And just to prove my point, he had bugged me so much that I gave in to his request to apologize to the girl. I don't know how he did it and I wasn't usually that gullible, but there he stood with the biggest smile on his face. He actually looked

Emily’s POVI was tired, exhausted, drained, depressed . The air felt so dry that the sun’s glare almost hurt my eyes and I wanted to sink back into the plush carpeting of my bed for a nap. I had forgotten what the air outside felt like, I was stuck in my room, locked up like a prisoner, I was a prisoner.I didn’t want to be locked up in my room. No matter how many times I begged, it never changed, “I will talk to the king on your behalf.” That was the same bullshit Claire had been saying for almost a week now or more, I had lost count but there was still no positive change.Maybe she was just as tired and defeated as I was, maybe she knew that the King would never let me out.“Claire please, just please let me out. I promise I won't try to run away again, I will obey all of your rules, all of his majesty's rules but please just let me out I beg you”, tears were welling up in my eyes, pleading with her, I couldn’t hold back any longer, I couldn’t take much more, “Please, please, I am

Emily’s POVOne of the guards led me outside, it felt like the first time in years that I’d been outside, I never took the time to get out of there, but here I was, fresh and alive, and for once I hadn't thought about being a prisoner for a second. I was free. And it didn't feel like I'd ever had anything to fear from them.When we were outside, he was fully dressed standing in his full glory beside two horses . They looked bigger than they should have, considering how short I am, and my eyes widened as I took in their massive size, the pure size of them. The one on the left was white with brown patches and was a little bit taller than the other, and had an aura about her that made her seem very majestic. She was beautiful, her mane was shining silver, she had the most magnificent eyes I've ever seen, and when she raised her head at me, I could tell that she was looking straight into my soul, I felt like she saw through me and knew everything. As much as I wanted to go up and stroke

Emily’s POV The King’s body was brought back and he was badly stabbed. The seer was trying her best to bring him back to consciousness and I just sat there crying. What if he died? And he never gets to see his child? Why did I lie that the child wasn't his? Currently sitting beside him on the bed, the seer said it was left for him to respond to the antidote or not. I needed more than that, I had been a crying mess for a while and all I wanted was for her to console me, I needed her to tell me that her antidote was going to work and not keep me in suspense. I took his hands into mine “Hey, I need you to wake up please, I am so sorry that I ran away, sorry I said that the child wasn't yours. Maybe when you wake up we will talk this over, because right now, we don’t have time. You need to tell me what to do. Please, wake up!” I cried, as tears poured down my cheeks again. His skin felt cool under my fingers. I felt guilty for hurting him. I should be the one waking up with a broken ar

Luka's POV I know the child was mine, it didn't make sense why Emily would want to hurt me so bad, was it payback? I couldn't tell. “They plan on attacking us tonight” the seer's voice broke through my thoughts. They are the group of Lycans led by their King and they conceal themselves with masks and dark magic but luckily for you, I have made antidotes that would help against their infected bites. You King Luka will get your allies from the outside world and my people and soldiers will get ready. We will move our women and children to the cave at the mountain top and the women who can fight will volunteer as soldiers as well” she continued, her calm and soothing tone calming the anger boiling in the pit of my stomach. “This new army that we have formed is strong enough to defeat them.” I nodded at her words, knowing she knew what I was thinking. Her eyes were sad but not apologetic or regretful, just sadder, tired. The whole town was thrown into total chaos, children and adults ali

Emily’s POV “You thought we were fools this whole time? you planned on what? keep using my brother? Do you know how much he cared about you? All you did was lie to us Sara!” Carolyn scoffed! “Your name is not even Sara” tears streamed down my face as I sobbed uncontrollably into my pillow. What had I done wrong to deserve the anger of these amazing people? Why do I always mess up good things? Why was Luka here? What brought him hear? “I am sorry, I panicked and got scared. I am sorry Carolyn. I didn't think I was ever going to see him again and I wasn't using anyone please” I pleaded. My voice was shaking from crying so hard. I don't know if I will be able to get out any words from my mouth now without crying. I heard a sigh come from the couch before she spoke again “Sara, I mean Emily, I understand why you panicked, but that doesn't excuse everything else” My heart stopped at the sound of her voice. “Right now you have two men out there to face and the last thing they want

Luka’s POV“They were a young couple and they got married and they started a generation of a new kind, the type that was special. Soon like generations, more came, and more left. We honestly thought they had gone into extinct until now. They can't be working alone, not after all this time. They had to be working with someone”Even after I had gone back to home from Lancha, those words kept replaying in my head, and I had nothing to say about them.I needed to find out who these special people were working with and why they were doing what they kept doing to our kind.Was there a previous problem before now? I needed to know.Now my sexual life has been suffering since I got back from Lancha. The thoughts of Emily filled my dreams and they were dreams of us having sex and I ended up masturbating more than I should.For example, last night I dreamt of thrusting into Emily aggressively until I could feel her body trembling beneath me. My cock felt like it was about to burst through my sk

Luka’s POV “I apologize for my people's stare, they are not used to seeing people from the outside world” Alpha Luke's voice broke through my thoughts as we were returning back to his home. He wasn't lying, the people's stare bore holes into my back and I could tell that I was not welcome there. They didn't appreciate my presence and they didn't fail to show it. “When was the last time you had someone from the outside?” I randomly asked. I didn't know why I did it and I probably would have regretted it if he noticed but something compelled me to ask. He paused in his trek before answering me “Months, we found a woman in the woods around our land, she was homeless so we gave her a place. “Didn't you think she was a spy or something?” I couldn't help but point out. It felt weird that they allowed some stranger on their land like that. Wasn't I also a stranger? “You should have seen her eyes, she looked too vulnerable. You'll get to meet her today at dinner. I've never seen anyone

Luka’s POV I was standing on the balcony when I saw a figure pass by immediately. I don't know what was crazier. The fact that this person had blonde hair or the fact that her smell had just hit me caused me to go through a wave of. Could it be? No! it couldn't right? I didn't realize when I started following the figure but the closer I got the more the smile persisted but there was no sign of any blonde hair anywhere. “Going somewhere?” A female voice called out and I came face-to-face with Princess Carolyn. She had a suspicious look on her face as she eyed me up and down. “Yes,” I answered in a small voice before I turned away. This was my fault for not checking who was around first! But I was so curious, I couldn't help myself. What if I really did find something interesting? Well, maybe. Maybe it's nothing at all. But I know what I had perceived. It had to be Emily. “I mean no, I… I just thought I saw someone there” I managed to answer as I quickly tried my best to regain

Luka’s POVEverything after the meeting was off. I could barely eat the food that was served.Something was going on and my Wolf felt it, it was howling and fighting inside of me, clawing its way out to take over. The wolf wanted a piece of this, a human would do as well. It was an urge that I tried to ignore. The wolf had always been there when I needed it, but it was only ever there if my life were in danger. But the more I thought about it, the more desperate I became for answers. My wolf was still there, but it wasn’t fighting anymore. It was just sitting there, waiting for me to make the next move. I knew what I had to do. It didn't help that I could smell her everywhere. Her scent lingered driving me more insane than ever before. I took in deep, deep breaths to try to get her scent out of my nose. But every time, all I smelled was her. She was so familiar, yet I hadn’t been able to find a trace of her since it happened. Not a scent nor a memory. Only her presence remained.The

Luke’s POV“Her blood pressure is very high, she hasn't been resting , her stress level is elevated and she will still be in danger if she continues” the doctor explained. “I don't know what it is but it's obvious she's struggling with the trauma from something in the past and postpartum depression isn’t helping either. It just seems like her mental health isn't getting any better either. I think we should put her on an antidepressant. Maybe a sedative too." The Doctor suggested.“For her long?” I insisted.“Just for today, so she gets to rest and heal. She needs it right now. She'll be fine tomorrow,” The doctor assured me as he walked out of the room and I took his place at the head of my bedside. I stroked her hair gently as tears rolled down her cheeks. She didn't respond but tears fell down her cheek.Who was this woman? What battles was she fighting? What trauma did she hide from us? Why was she afraid? Why didn't she trust us enough to talk about it?The door suddenly opened an

Emily's POVMy Wolf was restless. I don't know what was wrong but I knew something was going on. Something I couldn't place my hands on, right from the moment Luke came into my room to call Carolyn.My curiosity was driving me up a wall, so I left baby Luka in his crib for a few hours and ventured out of my room and stared at the stairs where I could smell a strange scent wafting across the room. It was sweet like honey or maybe lemon juice, and it smelled… How was that even possible? it wasn't possible. There was no way it was possible. Maybe it was just a coincidence but I wouldn't lie, a pang of nostalgia drove me into the past where I didn't want to go but needed too much information at once. And if my Wolf was uneasy, who could blame her?I returned to my room and pushed Luka’s crib back and forth gently. The scent got stronger and I had an urge to take a deep breath, a need I didn't want to feel so bad about.I finally decided to go down to the kitchen but the heat from when
