His Second Chance Luna Part 52
/Axel's POV/I palmed at my temples, sagging in the seat, when the doors of my study burst through. Straightening in my chair, I noticed Alpha David Walters, the royal advisor, and my mother's step brother walk in, a vein ticking in his forehead. He came to stand a few inches away from the table. "Axel, do you know your officers are being investigated right now?"I blinked at him. My beta was making rounds in finding the culprit responsible behind holding information. Ever since I returned from the trip, their words kept playing in my head. Those tribals walked barefoot to deliver their messages and seek help, only for my people to turn them down. "Good afternoon to you too. And yes, I believe so.""And you are condoning this?""Alpha David..." I cleared my throat, hands coming to clasp together on the table. "Yes. I am sure that my people are hiding things from me.""That's preposterous!" He spat, hands falling by his side. "Who is spreading such malicious rumours, Axel? Your peopl

It took us almost an hour to reach the castle gate, a lot of stops and go with my nerves all over. Eventually, I was able to settle into the horse's slow, easy gait, my hips rocking rhythmically with every step. Not only that, but Axels scent helped along the way, making me dig my nails into the flesh of my thighs.A forbidden territory. I reminded myself while looking ahead. So to distract my train of thoughts, I made easy conversation during the Alpha us along the outside of the castle wall towards the beach."Do you do this every month?"There was silence from his side, the sound of his heart the only thing echoing back. I held my breath, waiting for the Alpha to answer.He cleared his throat. "Mhm...It's a tradition my father started, and I want to keep it alive."Oh. Makes sense. They have a large number of population for this very reason. Looking after your people is one of the primary duties of the Pack Alpha. Maybe if my uncle kept that in mind, our people would be just as hap

/Abel’s POV/It's warmer, the sun strong on my back as I lead the horses along the narrow alley. From the corner of my eyes, I saw that Lana settled into William’s rhythm quicker than she had initially, leaning into him and swaying with ease.The pathway was full of lively sounds, of the quiet hum of life, followed by the splash of creek water around the horses' hoofs, the rustle of the bushes as the rabbits and tiny creatures scampered out of sight.It didn’t take us long to locate the pack members standing on either side, their faces gleaming. A chorus of whispers rang in my ears, their eyes taking Lana’s appearance. She didn’t even deter, raising her chin in the air. Of course. Princess Lana was not an ordinary omega; having been born into royalty, she must be used to this. “Good afternoon.” I greeted the over-enthusiastic crowd, waving at them while the omega followed my action. My eyes were trained on the back of her head, watching as she gripped tightly onto the saddle. “I am

Ethan was quiet the entire time we started walking towards the corner of the alley. It’s better that way. I thought under my breath, not ready to involve Axel yet. Lost in my train of thoughts, I tripped on the rocks in my way, almost losing my balance. “Lana!” Ethan hollered, his arm reaching out to steady me.It’s not my day today. I winced, eyes zoning in on my throbbing toe. It’s the second time I injured my feet in a few hours. Huffing under my breath, I leaned down. “Y-Yes, I walked too fast, I think,” The words slipped out, the sharp nails still digging into my thighs while trying to regain my balance.“Are you sure?” I wanted to shake him off, but I needed to concentrate all my energy on pushing upright again without toppling over. Ethan’s arm fell off my back when I got to my feet, but he cupped at my elbow almost straight away, steadying me. “I am good.” I exhaled, ignoring the spots dancing in front of my eyes. “So, did you meet with that guy? What did he say?”That’s w

My mind went blank as her words struck me, a lump forming in my throat. Axel was in a rut. One part of me—the omega one was flushed all over at the mere thought, while the other feared he would be asking for someone else. The Alpha made it clear several times, that our bond meant nothing to him. “S-So…what does he do for his rut?”Mostly Alphas, the unmated ones, find the omega houses or, in the case of royal ones, call for special services in their private rooms. It’s shameful how even mated Alphas do that, and they are not judged or held accountable for their actions. Amy was red in the face, taken back by my question, but she opened her mouth, “His Highness rides them alone ever since his first wife passed away….”Something ugly bubbled in the pit of my stomach, recalling Angel's voice about how he’s still hung up on her. What if it’s the truth? That’s why he may be holding back and not wanting to start anything. I bit the insides of my cheeks to hold back the tears from burning

When his hands slid beneath me, I arched my back, clinging to his broad shoulders. My entire body trembled at the anticipation of his touch, mouth parting. His fingers found the chain that held my dress together, and he ripped it apart. The fabric slipped down my shoulders, and he tugged it down completely, moving to undo the laces of my cotton corset until I was only left in my undergarments.A whine escaped my lips under the heat of his unwavering gaze, eyes trailing over the ridges and curves of my body. Pulling back, he hastily tugged at his shirt, dropping it unceremoniously over the side of the bed, revealing the expanse of his chest. My breath caught in my throat. It's not the first time I had seen him half-naked; I was still not prepared for him to be up close. I trailed over his front, halting at the waistband of his trousers, feeling equally intrigued and nervous. With my cheeks turning bright red, I peered at him as he closed the distance between us, breathing ragged. Ove

I must have dozed off somewhere in the afterglow because the next thing I knew, harsh rays hit the side of my face. I stilled in the bed, eyes blinking sluggishly at the ceiling as I slowly let the unfamiliar room come into focus. The spot next to me was empty and cold, I realised.My brain was still fuzzy; spots of colour and blurred outlines only slowly appeared in the line of vision, and my limbs felt heavy like blocks of concrete. The next thing I realised was I was naked, the traces of his come clinging to my inner thighs as if a harsh reminder of what went on. I shifted my legs, mouth twisting, when I heard the sound of water running. It took me a moment for the sound to register when I also realised Axel must be in the shower. Was his rut over? I thought to myself while tilting my head towards the nearest wall. The clock read ten in the morning which was too late. I had to recheck and rub my eyes to make myself believe it. A curse befell my lips as I attempted to manoeuver

/Axel's POV/Liam stayed behind as I slipped inside Jade's place, feeling on edge. The beta kept quiet the entire way as if he understood my inner conflict. It’s been a lot; ever since I woke up to Lana sleeping next to me, looking very angelic and sculpted by the moon goddess, guilt swarmed my belly. During my rut, all I saw was how she would look up, lush, her long curls a mess and matted on her forehead and tear tracks streaming down her reddened cheeks as she whispered back softly, urgent and unsteady to knot her. I felt my breath catch sharply at the memory, the jolt pulling me straight back to the present. Still, despite everything, I coerced her into sleeping with me, a sick feeling taking over my body. If not for my rut and the Alpha taking over, I would have never let her near me. Why did she give in? Maybe…No! I completely shut the thought before it started forming, fully aware of its danger. Our relationship was a facade, a mere convenience for both of us, and I made t

My head hurt, and so did my throat, like there were iron bands around, squeezing until it was close to breaking and poking. I had no intention of prolonging the pain, staring at the person in front of me. So quickly, I stepped towards the double french doors leading towards the alley and threw them open. On my way, I could feel the prickle of his stare on my back, but I ignored it. As soon as the gust of fresh air greeted me, I sucked in a deep breath. It nipped at my overheated skin in a gentle caress as if it knew of the pain I was going through.My vision blurred again with tears as I gathered the courage to pull myself together and get away from Axel. I could feel nothing except a terrible hollowness, the emptiness inside left by Axel. As if it’s a void, sucking in everything that made me who I am. For a second, I thought I could quickly fill in the gap by finding someone else, having someone else. I could go to another Alpha and let him press tender kisses to all the worst parts

/Axels POV/“Axel! Axel!”“Hmm?”“Are you even listening to me?”“Yes…I apologise for….”The omega shook her head with a choked-off scoff, a half-aborted toss that made a long strand of hair fall in her face, curling over her wild, doe-shaped eyes. Eyes shone in the dim study room with more than just the soft glow of the candles. Her jaw flexed, knuckles turning whiter with how hard she clenched her fingers.I swallowed the lump forming in my throat and lifted my chin, meeting her gaze and holding it. For a moment that seemed to last forever, we stood there, surrounded by the heavy silence that Lana had created with her words. Why would she say that?I assure you this Lana would kill herself before harming you.No. I curled my toes, trying not to let the perfect composure slip. It’s the gratitude, I thought internally while looking at the omega in front of me. After all, I agreed to mate her and get her out of that Palace. “You don’t believe me?” She sounded wounded, a hurt noise sli

“What do you mean by problems?” Ethan beat me to it, curiosity written all over his face, leaning forward. “It doesn’t end well?” I winced as those words slipped out of my mouth, biting my tongue. “Well…yes. It’s a tragedy buried so deeply that rarely anyone alive knows about it.” The hardcover burned in my hands the longer I stared, tears blurring my vision. From the corner of my eyes, I saw Ethan, hawk-eyed, lips pursed in a single line and brows furrowed. The Alpha had difficulty taking all this, just like me, but he handled it better. At least for now. I thought shakily, averting my stare toward Daniel. He leaned against the stone wall and bought his knees to his chest; chin propped down. “The book…you can take it with you and read when you get back.”On instinct, I tightened the grip on the cover, nails digging around the bounds. “T-Thank you.”“It was the only existing copy after the great war fifty years ago. There are no more copies.”The way he worried his bottom lip whi

/Axels POV/I shook my head, watching as the omega walked away, trying to eliminate the unwanted thoughts as I wandered into my chambers. As if on a whim, I let the thick coat draped over unceremoniously fall on the side table, an audible sigh leaving my lips. Why did she seem in such a hurry anyway? What was Lana hiding? Or perhaps the omega had no interest in taking a walk with me.The last part stung. It didn’t matter if that was the result I wanted from her side; it still hurt. Rubbing my face, I decided to relax in the bathtub with scalding water, a mountain of bubbles piled onto my chest. To soothe the turmoil, I also added some scents but nothing compared to her natural scent. Sweat beaded down the side of my face, and fingers were pruned as I tilted my head back, shifting my legs. The water swirled around. I hadn't realised that I was bone-tired, almost in a zone between falling asleep and becoming awake, in the incoherent moment when one was too tired to close one's eyes. T

My heart didn't stop pounding the entire time I walked away from Axel, hands sweaty and throat wilted with guilt. It was for the best; I kept telling myself. Just one little lie so I could sneak out with Alpha Ethan to see his friend. As the commander asked, I stood patiently by the fire, wearing boots tied on tightly and my cape clipped. My arms came to wrap around the torso as a gust of cold wind blew by. I squinted my eyes while noticing a dark figure approaching me, body stiffening. When I got hold of his scent, my body automatically relaxed, staring at the Alpha. He was dressed in a black sweater over top of his white button-up, a thick black cape pulled on with the hood over his head as he approached me. Ethan was also carrying a satchel thrown over his chest; his shoes switched to thick black boots. "Should we leave?" "Yes." The Alpha guided us to the room on the other side of the wing, the table in a far corner standing out. I watched as he pushed away, pulling the car

/Axel's POV/My beating heart fell to my stomach like a dead rose petal, watching the omega speak with Ethan, eyes crinkling and mouth curving at something he had said. I could feel my stomach boil, an irrational surge of feelings taking over, and the utter negligence from inside had my feet moving towards them before my mind comprehended it. This was not the same Lana I chose to mate; overflowing with sweet, earnest innocence made her intentions towards me clear as the night. She was yielding in all ways, except in her stubborn decision. This was not the same one who had laughed at my silly attempt of humour, who stared at me as if I hung the moon and stars for her.I was lucky if she spared me a glance in my direction now. How did it come to this? I fought down a strangled, choking sound, whirling around, marching purposefully through the nearest open door in a drastic attempt to get away. I needed the cold wind whip on my face – a firm, strict reminder that this was my choice.I

My mouth gaped at his crude statement, and I recoiled on the spot. Rage filled my insides, my back stiffening as I narrowed my eyes into slits. I took a deep breath, resisting the urge to scream at him.How dare he accuse me of such a thing? Especially since he was the one to set the boundaries from the beginning. Axel reminded me time and time again that I meant nothing to him. “Why do you care?!” The words slipped out before I could stop myself, biting my tongue. A chuckle burst out of him, hollow and empty. “Why do you I care? You are still my omega, for moon's sake!”My toes curled at that, and I didn’t know what to think of the strange stirring in the bottom of my belly, and the permanent lingering of his scent did little to help me.“Oh, am I? Cause last time we slept together, you made sure to remind me I meant nothing.”He flinched as if he had been slapped by my words, teeth grinding. The Alpha's harsh breath fell on my face as he merely leaned closer, the vein in his foreh

It's been a few days since the last time I saw Axel, so I had a lot of time to think with a clear mind. There was no point in denying that his absence affected me; the marks left on my skin wholly faded. It gave my omega enough nightmares, waking up to look for his arms only to find myself all alone in the bed. I didn't know when things switched from vehemently hating being anywhere near him to wanting to get as close as I possibly could without being too obvious.But his words stung. The wound was still raw, and I had no intention of making the same mistake again. For all I know, the Alpha rejected me without actually saying those words. Despite his long stares in my direction and wanting to talk, I had completely shut down the attempts. I had no interest in hearing the exact words again. Pinning after a mate who doesn't even care about relationships is the possibly highest act of stupidity. Shaking my head, I stood up, noticing the cape Amy had placed on the bed for me. Ethan was
