Luna Scarlett's Second Chance Chapter 13: "Do you trust me?"
My hands are shaking and Maya is still crying. I have her cradled against me and I can't think straight."Maya, tell mummy what's wrong?"She doesn't say anything. She just goes on crying and I let her because sometimes that's what we need to do. Something has hurt her.Something or someone.My mind flies to several possible suspects but I turn up with nothing. Alpha Roman's beta came to pick her up specially this morning and I followed them to the auditorium. The teacher is a slightly aged lady and her male counterpart assists her. Fen assured me that they only teach them the basics for now.Things like how to maintain a proper stance.Basic muscle training like sprinting, and climbing, just basic stuff. Maya was the first to get there this morning and it isn't even three hours yet but she's back like this."Maya, did anyone hurt you?"Maya calms down but only slightly so she can nod her head.Fury seeps into my bones and I smoothen her hair softly."Was it one of the trainers there?
Luna Scarlett's Second Chance Chapter 14: "The Alpha Conference?"
Roman's pov.She hesitated.I look at the time on my watch and try to get that moment out of my head, but I can't.I asked her if she trusted me and she hesitated for a split second before sighing and giving a nod. There's nothing I can use to describe how that made me feel. It made me feel like a liar and a fool.Well, of course she wouldn't trust me right away. I'm the Alpha that has growled at her every time he met her and who almost couldn't control himself today.I loosen the tie around my neck and try to breathe better.It's hard being around Scarlett, even harder being alone with her.A series of knocks come from my door and my head whips to the sound immediately."Come in."My father's personal assistant opens the door and steps in not a second later. She walks over to my table briskly before dropping the file she has in her hands."There are the reports you asked for, Alpha Roman. Your father requires a few days off to rest and has asked that you should be informed of this hi
Luna Scarlett's Second Chance Chapter 15: "I'm fine, Alpha Roman." (Scarlett's pov.)
I move my head to the side as I roll on the bed and scrunch up an eyebrow. Maya was bone-deep exhausted when she came back, and according to her she had been lied to and wronged by Roman. His Beta had put her through even more training when she went out to the gardens and while she liked it, she didn't like being lied to. I chuckle as that thought runs through my head and I try to slowly extricate the hand she has in her hold. The Alpha Conference is something I know of. It is held every three years, and as Roman said it is a gathering of all the Alphas in the state. It's much larger than that though. I've heard Hunter having council meetings about this Conference, planning year on end for it. The Alpha Conference might be why he's so horrible to me, but that's a matter for another day. I slip out of bed and get myself ready. Alpha Roman of the Ironclaw pack is a man who loves his pack. Even if I couldn't tell that from the rumors I have heard of him, I can tell from the way he s
Luna Scarlett's Second Chance Chapter 16: "You love her, Roman."
"Follow them." Fen nods and motions to the warriors hiding in the treescape. I feel the magic that hums in the air as they transform. My warriors turn back to give me one last look, and I let my eyes glow as Fenrir comes to the surface to encourage his fellow warriors. Fenrir is a leader, a commander among wolves, and he's got guts of steel. He's made that more than evident today. Fen and six warriors take off in their wolf form and I punch the nearest tree as I grit my teeth. The sound of deep cracking comes next and with a groan the tree collapses. I take a deep breath and start pacing. Calm down, Roman. You can do this. Yes... you might have just sent your second mate off into lethal danger, literally risking her life because she wanted to make up for forgetting a car, something that might have been your fault since you didn't let her breathe for two minutes without making her nervous! But you can do this. You can. Fuck, what the hell am I doing! I need to go after them.
Luna Scarlett's Second Chance Chapter 17: "It's time to wake up, we need to leave."
"Can you see me, Scarlett?"I turn and giggle because I can't. Hunter has plunged me into darkness with the blindfold and his voice is the only thing leading me to him."Come Scarlett."That voice has changed.I burst out of sleep with a start and take in my surroundings.The room is dark. Pitch black and illuminated only by the shimmer of the moon coming in through the windows.This is not my room. Maya's not here, but I recognize these surroundings. This is Alpha Roman's room.At the mention of his name, my memories start flowing back like a stream.I asked to be the one who drove the car.Our talk about the Alpha Conference and how he plans to use it in getting me free of Hunter made me feel excited. It was a genius-level plan.Simple yet complicated, and one of those complications was concealing my identity from Hunter for the next two months until the Alpha Conference.The car came back to me immediately. If Hunter could place trackers on my boots then he could do the same thing
Luna Scarlett's Second Chance Chapter 18: "I'm sorry."
It's breakfast time in the Ironclaw pack and we're seated at a table. "Here in the Ironclaw pack, we eat meat more than anything else." I roll my eyes so heavily I think they'd roll out of their sockets. That is such a typical werewolf thing to do, and the last thing I assumed about this pack was that it was typical. '"You're boring my mother half to death." Eyes snap to us from other tables and my eyes widen while I struggle to keep a smile from creeping onto my face. I fake a gasp. "Maya, oh my gosh, that's so rude of you. Bad Maya, bad girl." Maya rolls her eyes and I almost lose it. I drop my fork on the floor and duck underneath the table so I can laugh. I want to laugh so bad. Unfortunately, we're in a room of werewolves and this is another pack. Observation before action, that's my tactic. And where is Maya getting all this sass from? "Are you alright under there Scarlett?" I come back up with a nod and sit down, taking a deep breath. "I'm sorry for my daughter's beha
Luna Scarlett's Second Chance Chapter 19: "I'm sorry Miss, but all new students must take the test."
"I think I like this new school." I blink and let out the breath I didn't know I was holding in. "No kidding." The school is huge. "Should we go in, Miss?" The driver, obviously unhappy that he's been assigned the task of driving us, is speaking in a clipped pissed-off tone. Maya is looking out the window as the car comes to a stop in front of the school gates, and I can tell she's also impressed. The car windows aren't tinted, instead, they're crystal clear so we can see exactly what the Ironclaw preparatory school looks like. The fences are not normal. I watch as one child, a small male who shouldn't be too older than Maya, breaks out into a run and hits the fence with a leap. His hands and feet find hostage in the crevices constructed into it and almost like this has become routine, he climbs the fence, disappearing off to the other side. He's not the only one doing that. Other young pups are doing this exact same thing and even when they fall, I see them get up and clim
Luna Scarlett's Second Chance Chapter 20: "Stop them Fen, that is an order from your Alpha."
Roman's pov."What are they doing right now?"Fen is on the other end of the phone and he huffs."You're as worried as a mother hen right now. Calm down.""Are you telling your Alpha to calm down?"There's silence on the other end for a while before Fen chuckles and hums good-naturedly.A rare smile blooms on my face when I hear that chuckle. Fen has been in the same dimension of despair I have been in for the past five years.He lost his mate and daughter, and he hasn't smiled since then, only when it's time for violence and bloodshed, but something has changed now.I didn't need to ask him before he volunteered to head the team shadowing Scarlett and her daughter. I acted like a total prick to her when she woke up, railing off orders like a maniac and giving off the wrong impression.I planned to get to know her better this morning, not anything too intimate, just the basic things. Things I'm entitled to know about my mate, even if she doesn't know she's mine.I messed up and gave t

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
