Luna Scarlett's Second Chance Chapter 108: "Can we do this one more time?"
“Myrtle?”My voice quakes and I ask myself what the fuck am I doing?I turn to look at Danis but he isn’t there anymore. He told me I'm batshit crazy if I thought speaking to Myrtle would get me any farther than we already are, but I just had to ask myself how far we are in terms of progress and the answer became clear to me.Threats still surround us.Still surround me and Maya and Roman. Roman and his pack.“You look surprised to see me, child.”I look at the old lady through the bars and her melancholy state and almost irritated tone surprises me. She doesn’t look like she hates it in here, but I've noticed all this before.“I have some more questions to ask you, Myrtle.”“It’s Councillor Myrtle” she directs a light glare at me “and no thank you, I've had enough questioning for one day. It hasn’t even been twenty-four hours yet since the last time I was questioned.”She gives an incredulous laugh and glances at me from the corner of her eyes.“If I didn't know better I'd say you’re
Luna Scarlett's Second Chance Chapter 109: "Good Luck!"
“Abandon any thoughts of the mark. There’s nothing going after that will do for you.”A frown lines my face but I nod all the same.“For now you have a company to run. Roman is counting on you, so do that.”Again I nod. He’s right and I need to focus on thatDanis walks out of my room and I slip into my work outfit. It consists of a white button-up, a dark skirt, and a pair of heels.I take some time to check myself out in the mirror and I like what I see. I look young, clinical, like a breath of fresh air.A scoff escapes my lips and I chuckle right after. I am aiming to deceive everyone in the Ironclaw headquarters building, so this look should be just right. There’s no way anyone would look at me in this and think I’m a runaway Luna or a mother of one.That is what I should want, yet Roman appears in my mind’s eye with brown hair. He changed something about himself just so he could fit into the role we wanted for him.Something like that might seem simple, but it’s a compromise
Luna Scarlett's Second Chance Chapter 110: "Still feel this is a good idea?"
“Helloo” Aria snaps her fingers repeatedly and glares at me “Haven’t you seen a pretty lady before?”Her haughty eyes stare me right back in the face and I am lost for words or what to do. Only one thing runs through my head as my body goes rigid. What the actual fuck?“To what does Ironclaw Corp owe this visit, Aria Tyson?”Fen steps in front of me and blocks me from Aria’s line of sight. The amount of gratitude that fills my heart is unrivaled but self-preservation comes first. Two options come to mind.One; I can abandon whatever this attempt at life trying to fuck me up is and just go back to the pack. The car is still outside, both the one Fen and I arrived in and the one Roman gifted to me. I should have the key somewhere inside my bag, I could always just walk back out, get into the car and consider this a bad dream that never happened.Or, the second option.“Hey, Beta” Aria says the title like it’s something to be ashamed of “I want to see the Alpha himself, Roman Collins?
Luna Scarlett's Second Chance Chapter 111: "We're glad you could make it Mr. Davidson."
Roman's pov.“Okay Daddies, welcome to bring your Dad to class day.”The small class of small children scream in excitement and the smile that creeps up my face is slight but warm.Maya Tyson turns to catch my gaze and when our eyes lock, I wink.She giggles and turns to face the teacher once more.All the fathers stand at the back of the class and the teacher faces us while the kids face her.Maya and I had to make a stop at a fashion house on our way here and I let her pick out the perfect disguise for me. We were talking….. and she said I would be too noticeable in black, even with the hair change.Since her real Daddy isn’t here and she and her mum have run away from him, she knows I'm just standing in as her fake Daddy. Her fake daddy shouldn’t look like he can beat her teacher, that’s what Beta Fen is for.She had a specific look in mind for me, just so I could blend in. Her classes wouldn’t start till 10 a.m because of the event they have planned today so we did what all littl
Luna Scarlett's Second Chance Chapter 112: "Is he sick?"
Scarlett's pov.Fen enters the office yet again and the look on his face tells me all I need to know.Roman has been calling.I look at Aria and smile, “Give me a minute, Miss Tyson.”Aria doesn’t even look up from her phone as she nods her head. This was not what I had in mind and it’s bugging me out that I haven't resolved whatever issue she’s here for.“I thought you said she was going to be gone in the next five minutes.”I give Fen the sweetest smile my nervous body can manage and I take his phone from him“It hasn’t been five minutes… yet.”I pick up the call immediately and brace myself for the worst as I place the phone at my ear.“Vivian Davidson on the line. How may I be of service to you?” Roman chuckles deeply and my body threatens to light up with desire.“I see you’ve adjusted to your new role with ease. You sound happy.”I want to nod and say I am, and I am but I'm also anxious. I settle for a roundabout statement instead.“Being CEO for a day would make anyone happy.”
Luna Scarlett's Second Chance Chapter 113: "I can handle the pitch myself."
The investors arrive a few minutes after 2 p.m. I contemplate telling them the whole pitch has been canceled and they can come back tomorrow for their pitch but that would be selfish of me.The fact that I have achieved nothing since I came here stops me.At least fifteen different group managers have come up to Roman’s office and seeing as he‘s not around, come to mine right after. I have listened to their complaints and nodded when I needed to nod, but deep down I know I haven't provided a solution.“They’re here, Scarlett.”I nod and take a deep breath. Fen holds my gaze and I try my best to look brave. To show him that I am brave and this isn’t going to be something I cow away from.“You don’t need to prove anything to anyone, Okay?”Fen speaks in the same fierce tone I've heard him speak to his warriors in. I don’t know why, but that tone makes me feel like he’s giving me some kind of respect.I nod, but I know I need to prove something to myself.“I’ll be in and out within an ho
Luna Scarlett's Second Chance Chapter 114: "Can we drop a present for her?"
Roman's pov “Keep the shades on.”Maya nods like a small soldier taking orders from her commander and pride lights up in my heart. The driver takes us into Ironclaw corp and I feel something scratching a nerve. Maybe it’s nervousness, but it’s been a long time since I last felt nervous. This is just a small scratch of that feeling, yet I know why it’s there. I’m nervous Scarlett might feel I'm doing this because I don't trust her. I do. More than I ever thought was possible. Thinking of her running my company for a day was easy. Scarlett will be happy if she sees us. She’ll be surprised, but she’ll also be happy. “We’re here, Alpha Roman.” I nod and open the door for Maya to get out. She’s still in her uniform and I'm still in my disguise. “If anyone asks, you didn’t bring me here.” The driver nods and I decide I like him. He’s going to be questioned by Fen later when he gets to the pack, and if he lives up to my expectation, I'll see what I can do for him. “Is mummy in ther
Luna Scarlett's Second Chance Chapter 115: "It's definitely expensive."
Scarlett's pov Roman’s investors aren’t your normal set of people. First of all, they listen to me and are enraptured by my explanations on renewable energy, and that’s not all. Note that I am just freeballing here, I do not know in clear terms how to give a good pitch on what sustainable energy is or why they should be ready to invest in something that might or might not work because to be sincere, sources of renewable energy are limited and how to utilize them is even more so, but somehow these people sit and listen to me, asking questions at interval and asking what investing in this would do for them and why they should invest in it. From a personal angle, I think Roman just wants to do good for the world he lives in. This whole pitch and the investors part, feels like he has an agenda behind all of it. I may be wrong, and I may have messed up this pitch too, but that’s what it feels like to me. But what the hell? “That’s the end of my pitch.” The six people facing me blink r

Luna Scarlett's Second Chance A/N
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
Luna Scarlett's Second Chance Chapter 262: Mine.
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,
Luna Scarlett's Second Chance Chapter 261: "Please."
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
Luna Scarlett's Second Chance Chapter 260: Alphas come and go.
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
Luna Scarlett's Second Chance Chapter 259: Alphas come and go.
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
Luna Scarlett's Second Chance Chapter 258: "Fuck you all!"
“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
Luna Scarlett's Second Chance Chapter 257: "Priam is here for his mate."
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
Luna Scarlett's Second Chance Chapter 256: "Stop the car."
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
Luna Scarlett's Second Chance Chapter 255: "Everybody down, Now!"
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
