Hi wonderful readers.
First of all, I’d like to say thank you for reading so much and so far. Thank you for the time invested into this book.
Without you, nothing would have been possible, so thank you for that.
We have come to the end, and while it is a bit abrupt, I’d like to clarify some things.
The book is already at 290 thousand plus words, I was really worried about its readability because anything longer would probably scare readers off. I don’t know how everything usually operates because I am a mildly new author on the platform and this is my first completed book, but it felt like Luna Scarlett was getting long, and if I was to go further into settling some other points in the story….. It’d have been way longer.
Now to pick up some of the points I left unfilled in the story (Without giving any spoilers of course.)
(Okay, maybe one spoiler, or two :)
The fact that Hunter’s mother killed Oliver: I’d say this would have led into a whole other story, and it will, it’s basically a foreshadowing for a story, maybe Hunter’s? I don’t know at the moment, but that’s what I planned it to be.
Hunter is a complex character. We saw him change a bit in the continuation of the book, and now we also know Diane is going to leave him, even after giving birth to his twins. Scarlett accused him of once feeling something for Oliver, but we know from his interactions with those around him that Hunter has been nothing but vicious and has probably never felt love for anyone really.
I’ll leave you to speculate on how Oliver’s death comes into play here. Maybe it was a major event into making him who he became, or maybe it didn’t matter at all. Go wild people : )
What really happened to Danis? Hehe :) Danis… is going to make a comeback. We have a lot of characters who haven’t gotten their happily ever afters but who obviously deserve them and Danis is one of them. Fen is also another. That mage too. And remember I didn’t say anything about who Priam’s mate really is?
Those are going to be the basic plots of the book I plan to write on them and some new characters in fresh tropes. The next books I plan to write would be almost zero about Scarlett and Roman, but the other characters, that is if you’ll all be here for me when I do write it. I feel it’s going to be nice.
Who is the mysterious mage? It could be anybody. You’ll just have to read and find out :) The thing is though, my writing is still evolving, and I know I have way more to go before reaching a genuinely remarkable stage, but I love doing one thing, and that’s making every event be a shadow to something bigger. The mysterious mage’s identity will be revealed but I’m sure you could figure it out.
What about Fen? (sobs and sighs as I bite my lips in nervousness): This will be the spoiler. Fen was meant to be that strange invisible flame of fire thing Maya can summon. If you remember at the beginning of the book, Scarlett said there was something different about Fen and his lineage, how she thought wolves of his kind had died out. Fen is a hybrid. Half wolf - half what I’ll call “guardian” for now. Maya cried so heavily when he was banished because he had formed a bond with her. He was to her, a friend who her parents trusted explicitly, and who had supported her a lot when her mum was going through different stages of her life. Fen and Danis meant a lot to Maya. Danis’s loss to her was cushioned somehow, but we don’t know if he told her before this that he would be leaving because she didn’t react to it. Fen’s leaving was really abrupt, and Maya is to Fen, a young girl, like his young girls who were killed in the attack on the pack.
Fen having an affair with Elara, was just to give him a bit more flesh. He’s not a golden boy, I feel I had given him that image. Maya was meant to call him back to the pack when they were attacked in the woods, some sort of brief apology happens, he becomes badass, things like that. I had to shorten it because of the wordcount, but it’s a new concept, and who can think of how this guardian bond might play out when Maya is now a full-grown woman :)
Axios being both Hunter and Fen’s son: We now know Elara was actually the daughter of a rival always bent on destroying Roman’s family now and taking back the Alpha leadership of the Ironclaw pack. Elara was wildly brilliant, but she never loved Roman and she was possibly never going to. I don’t think she loved Axios, not as she should have. He was a product of her picking apart specific gene traits in people, and maybe she also knew about Fen’s hybrid heritage. She planned to make a supreme wolf of a child, then watch him grow, and later pick those genes off him, and transplant it to her brother. We know she tried to do it directly once, with Roman, but it only worked partially because her brother was still subject to the other side of Roman’s wolf when Roman finally accepted that part of himself. Axios bearing strands of DNA from both Hunter and Fen shows us why he can develop some of the abilities he will later, even though he’s Hunter’s son and Hunter doesn’t have any specific special abilities.
Who is the Alpha King? Is it Scarlett’s newborn son? My answer will be, let’s wait to see who the mark will pop up on next. Selene’s mark has moved on to its next bearer, and we all know who the Alpha king was originally meant to be. He just couldn’t be because of the reason I stated in the book. Too much blood on his hands. Therefore we can say there are certain criteria for being the Alpha King, unspoken rules of a sort. Let’s see if Scarlett’s newborn son, a child who will have so much controversy around him, can be the next Alpha King.
(Extra) Who was that child Elara was with in the woods? Scarlett had a vision of a child in Elara’s arms. Who is that child? A secret baby between her and someone else? Or a stolen child?
All these and more will be handled in a next book, and this time, I really hope I can do a lot better for you all.
For now, check out Luna Sophia’s Retribution: ) It’s really good, with a new kind of ML. A breath of fresh air if you will, and trust me to input the twists and turns (●'◡'●)
Thank you all for reading Luna Scarlett. I love to see your comments, though they can be a bit harsh sometimes, lol.
Let’s finish Luna Sophia together, then I’ll revisit the continuation of Scarlett’s world in new fresh books with your favorite tropes being the center stage for loads of drama, conflict, heartbreak, and of course, love. There’s still a lot of hot sizzling romance we haven’t witnessed!
Love you all. You can leave your comments here. I’ll view them and respond to them as soon as possible.
Scarlett's pov "Mummy?" It's nine in the evening and time for dinner when Maya looks up at me from her bowl of porridge. My heart melts at the way she says that word, like it means the world to her. It makes me feel she sees me as her source of knowledge, so when I look down at my daughter, with her light brown hair and deep blue eyes, a smile lights up my face and I pinch her cheek lightly."Yes, darling?""Will I ever have a mate?"I blink as a slightly amused look spreads across my face."Why are you asking about that? You're still so young.""But let's say hypothetically."My eyes widen and I chuckle."Hypothetically? Who taught you that word, Maya? it's a big word for a six-year-old."She shrugs."Mr. Marcus said it when he was asking Miss Sara a question in class today, he said hypothetically speaking..?"Another chuckle bubbles up from within me because I know the teachers she's talking about. They handle the grade one class at her school and Marcus is always making jokes t
"Maya RUN!" Maya screams and goes bolting off the way she came but Hunter follows her, stumbling on his feet but still going after my daughter.No.I'd rather be dead before I allow him to lay his hands on her.I scramble off the floor and run as fast as I can to intercept him. He's still drunk so his steps are slow but he's almost at the door to her room. I beat him to it and slam it shut."Hunter, leave Maya out of this! She's never done anything to you, it's me you want to hurt."My husband grabs me by the neck before I can even realize it and hauls me up, choking me as he does so."You'll get your turn, stupid cunt. You think I don't see the way you dote on her, your precious daughter, while I'm made a mockery of by everyone around me. I'll kill her today, and then fuck your brains out, maybe the death of one child will get your body to bring out another, and if you still refuse, I'll kill you too."Hunter throws me with the strength of an Alpha and I crash against the wall, my b
We drive for three hours before any thoughts start running through my mind. The first one that hits me makes fear race through my heart. Where will we go? I can't take us to my parent's pack. Hunter's pack is really strong and it'll only be a matter of time before he comes for me. He'll charge me with attempted murder and take Maya away from me before he kills me. My parents won't be able to stop him, and Hunter's pack will stand behind him. So maybe I should take us elsewhere. I have a distant cousin who lives a few cities away. My atm and one of my credit cards are in my pocket, and luckily it's the one Hunter doesn't have access to. I've been saving some money for Maya's education in case Hunter decides not to sponsor her schooling anymore, I'll have to use some of it to get us far away from him. Tears prick the back of my eyes and I blink them back, keeping my eyes on the road and watching as the clouds roll by, thick and heavy in the night. I've been living in so much f
Roman's povA few hours earlier....."You're being silly Roman."My father paces behind his desk."Think of the pack, the wolves you have to protect. Are you going to leave them without an heir!""I'll do what I want Father."My anger gets the best of me and I squeeze the pen in my grip, keeping a hold on the frustration I'm feeling right now and reining my emotions in once more."I won't be forced to go on blind dates with someone I barely even know. I'll do what is best for me when I'm ready."My father is quiet and I know he's assessing me. We come from a long line of Alphas and even at sixty-two, I can still see evident traces of the man he once was. The man he forever is though the title he once held is now mine. He turns to look at me and I can see the stubbornness in his eyes."This can't go on for much longer, Roman. A pack needs a Luna as much as it needs an Alpha and there's nothing holding onto the past will do for you except cause you more pain. The blind dates are being
Scarlett's pov Why is he looking at me so much? I can barely pull my eyes away from his but if he had pulled his away from mine then we wouldn't be here, would we? What startles me the most about him is how huge he is. He's as large as Hunter, maybe even larger. I probably look like a younger sister next to him. "Who are you?" His voice sends a shiver down my spine and the pleasure that rocks through my brain is unexpected. I don't know what to say. "I... I... Actually..." "If I wanted you to stutter I wouldn't have asked a question at all. What the hell are you doing in my pack, Rogue?" The way his voice is dripping with disgust and hate snaps me out of my reverie. I take a step back before stealing a glance at everything around me and clearing my throat. "I am not a Rogue." "What are you then? I don't have too much patience and the little I have is already running out." Okay, who is this prick? Annoyance flares alive in my bones and I want to lash out at him. Ask him
"What is your name?" "Scarlett Johansen." "What pack are you coming from?" "The Greenwoods pack." The sound of his pen as he writes on the jotter in front of him, does nothing to quell my fear. "How old are you?" "Forty-two." At this, he raises an eyebrow. Like I haven't been lying to him all along and he's just noticed that I have. "Is there any reason why you're in my territory?" I avert my eyes from his and look around. There's something strange that happens whenever he looks at me. Something in my stomach becomes liquid and my mind can't stop bringing up disturbing images. It's shameful. If I blush, I'm going to slap myself right here and right now. "Well...... we were driving, and Maya said she was hungry so I drove to the diner to get her something to eat. I didn't know this land belonged to the Ironclaw pack." Alpha Roman chuckles and stands up so he can walk out from behind his table. "Now that you know it belongs to the Ironclaw pack, and you know I am the Alpha of
Roman's pov What am I doing? Scarlett's eyes are wide with fear and she's moving back, away from me. Fuck. ~I told you you'd hurt her~ I growl and push my wolf's voice out of my head. What the fucking hell am I doing? My word is a command that cuts through the air and stops her right in her tracks. I have to be more controlled than this. I need to get a hold of myself. But how can I when she's standing right in front of me? My second mate, totally oblivious to that fact because she didn't break the mate bond with her first mate. She’s running away from him and has somehow managed to get to me, and now she’s planning to run away from me too. How can I watch that happen? "Are.... you feeling okay, Alpha Roman?" Scarlett takes one step closer to me and I growl at her while stepping back to put some space between us. I'm acting like an irritable wolf who hasn't seen a female in years. When she says she wants to flee far enough that no wolf will ever get to her, I panic and re
This house is huge. That's the first thing I notice about it. Alpha Roman's beta takes us through wide hallways and past beautifully furnished rooms. The sunlight streaming in through the windows and the obvious wolf design incorporated into almost everything makes me feel a sense of awe. I pull Maya closer to me and I notice she's actually focused on something else, or rather someone else. The blond-haired man Roman says is his beta walks in front of us, but I notice the way he always turns back after a few minutes to shoot Maya a silly look. Sometimes he sticks his tongue out, other times he makes a silly face. Maya's look is neutral and I don't know if he's trying to make her laugh or loosen up a little. I'm pretty sure Maya's more on guard than I am, and that's scary. "Here are your living quarters, princess." I frown and open my mouth to correct him that my name is Scarlett, not beautiful or princess, but Maya beats me to it with a very uncharacteristic scoff. "My name's M

Roman carries me in his arms.Diane is helped along by the mage.We’re laid on beds and the pain from the contractions almost makes me pass out.“Your body’s burning, Scarlett.”I feel water enveloping me and I hear Diane’s low low grunt as she’s laid into the pool too.The contractions make everything feel hard and painful. My mind slips in and out of a haze and the water is red, so red, but through it all Roman stays with me.His red eyes are as clear and pure as two scarlet moons.The indoor swimming pool is converted into a labor room the moment the doctors arrive. I open my eyes weakly to see a whole team of them, strange faces in blue overalls, and the smell of the hospital lingering in the air.The contractions hit again, and this time Roman helps me onto a table as I grunt and cry my way through them.This is stronger than anything I've ever felt.I hear one of them tell Roman firmly, “If you want to be here, wear one of these.”Roman is back at my side in less than a minute,
Scarlett’s pov.Each blast of energy I let out makes me grit my teeth in pain.The doctor and Myrtle watch me with calm eyes and though it rips my heart to see them standing there like that, I don't stop.The shield over me shimmers with each blast of energy I release and I can see the impatience filling them because they can’t touch me while this is still going on.There’s an impatience to the way Myrtle grits her teeth but I can't bring myself to be happy at that…. because I'm killing him.Hot heavy tears flow down my cheeks and I burst into a sob because I can hear the sound of his pain each time I release my power.His shield is directly linked to his power, to him.I’m like a bomb in a can. He is the can.He can’t contain me.He can’t keep me in.I will go off as many times as I need to. I am a woman. My energy is endless, but while I do it… he suffers.It’s either I stop and get my stomach ripped open, my baby… my child will be killed.I would never forgive myself because it wou
The scarlet glow in his eyes grows in strength and all the dots come together in my head.Elara was never abducted. She orchestrated the attack.The strangeness of the wolves that attacked us was because she had infused them with the gene mutation she stole from me, and Ironclaw warriors weren’t able to do anything but die at their hands, because they had never met anything like that.They couldn’t take over the pack totally, because, like everything that’s stolen, it’s never stable. The look in Elara’s eyes makes me chuckle as another truth hits me and I let her get himself to full strength. I let the shift take him over, and in a moment of nostalgia, the scent of jasmine comes carried on a gentle breeze as little lines appear in the wind.They blaze to life with bright but silent lights, each one swaying as if blown by a light breeze. I see the lines extending through the wall behind me, the room where all those in the packhouse are being held currently. I see them in my mind, from
Roman’s pov.The bond between me and Scarlett stretches taut due to the distance and it’s the first time I've felt something like this between us.Feeling her and barely feeling her at the same time.The cars pull up to the gates of the mansion and I can tell my packhouse has been taken over by foreign forces. No one makes themselves visible when the gates come open, everyone is hidden but the moment we drive in, the gates slam shut faster than they ever have.The feeling of arrows already poised at us sends a light tingle down the side of my neck and I send a message to my father through the mate bond, ~Take the children to the safe house. Drive there like it’s what you always meant to do….Stay safe Father, and keep the children safe.~My father sends a feeling that echoes low on the mindlink, one that tells me he will obey my words to the letter because he is a wolf under my command, and I am his Alpha.But as a father and someone who’s watched me grow into who I am today, he’s
“Scarlett.”A brief silence punctuated by mumbled words and then the word comes again.“Scarlett.”The tone is more insistent this time and my eyes flutter open as a headache burrows it’s way through my head. I groan as i open my eyes fully because my head hurts a lot.Surprise steadily flow s through me when i realise i have been bound. I can barely move my hands or my feet.I try to struggle against the ropes but i can’t, and the voice comes again.“Psst, Scarlett.”I raise my head just the slightest bit, unable to see through the large mound of flesh that’s my belly.I feel my baby moving andd kiclkin, the discomfort stinging me like pins.“No, no need to raise your head.It’s me… the mage.”My fuzzy head clears up enough to remember where i am and what happened to me before i blanked out. I feel my body go rigid as shock courses through mel, a healthy dose of shock and fear.No.I struggle against the ropes.NO. NO. NO.Hunter wouldn’t dare.Hunter would never!“Hunter!”My heart
Walking through the halls of the Nightshade pack has me feeling… not nostalgic.I can remember wallking through here when i came here with Danis once. We delivered wolfsbane to Hunter.Then simply being in the compound had shaken me. It had made images of me back here float around in my mind, and then i knew Hunter would have done something horrible to me and Maya if he had gotten his hands on us.I don’t know what must have caused the sudden self proclaimed change in him, but i wouldn’t risk myself and anyone i know depending on that.I’m only here because Hunter knows who i am now. He knows i cannot be hit or hurt by him, without him suffering consequences.“About the conversation we had the other day.”I turn to look at Hunter and i see the way he maintains eye contact with me for a second before looking away to stare at something else. His voice comes out more sulky than i imagined he wants it to be.“I only knew Oliver.I didn’t have any relationship that was out of the normal w
Scarlett’s pov.It’s a bloodbath.I feel the tang of blood on my tongue, the smell of death in the air, I smell the power leaking off Roman, and as it leaks off him, it goes into me.“Roman…”My voice is hoarse and croaky. I can barely hear it. It’s a rasp that leaves my throat feeling sandy and hollowed out yet Roman hears it.His head snaps to me the moment I whisper his name and I realise now why everywhere seems so silent. There’s not a sound emanating from the forest, not from the archers in the trees, not from the warriors Roman brought along, not even from the birds - probably already scared away by the violence, or the attendants - scared into silence by Roman, currently dotted in large splatters of blood. Roman’s presence jolts when he comes to me.I feel his aura wrap around me faster than anything i have ever felt before, and when he cradles me in his arms, i feel the shift take over him and his claws retract, the red glow from his eyes fade, the heat radiating from him d
Roman’s pov.The world pauses as I feel Scarlett’s anxiety spike through the mate bond.It’s a thick and heavy feeling in my gut.My head snaps to her, searching for any traces of what might be happening and for a minute all I can feel is Maya telling her there’s something wrong with the boy.There’s something wrong with Axios.Before anyone can pull another breath, I feel my wife fill herself with power so pure it leaks into me and sets my nerve endings on fire.“Everybody down, Now!”The blast of wind Scarlett releases makes a boom when it rips out. Screams come from the attendants now on the floor, the shrill whistles of arrows are almost masked by the boom of air but not quite. I see the arrows fly back with the force of a snapped twig and they find targets.Scarlett fills herself with that power again, needing not even a second to fill herself up, already primed for an attack while I'm still trying to make sense of it all.The orders come from my lips not a moment later, “EVERYO
