Luna Scarlett's Second Chance Chapter 134: "I got rejected."
Quinn confirms something I've known for a while now. Hunter is an animal. I don’t think there’s a human side to him. I wanted to believe there was. That deep down something in him curls when he does these things. That something in him protests when he has an old lady shackled and whipped by his guards because she couldn’t give him the results he wanted. The marks were red and furious on her back when Quinn showed them to us and I could see flashes of pity on Danis’s face as he numbed the flesh there. She had been crouching because of them. We’ve promised to get her out, but she has to keep her end of the deal. She’s agreed and now…… now Danis is as silent as a graveyard as we ride back to Ironclaw Corp. My heart pounds softly in my chest and something static resides in my bones. I feel still. I need Roman. At the thought of him, our mate bond pulses softly and I chase that feeling. The feeling of his strong arms and his comfortable heat. The way he can be a rock I lean on and

“Miss Vivienne.” I pull the hem of the turtleneck higher on pure instinct and raise my eyes to meet whoever’s at my door. Cool green eyes meet mine and his name comes back immediately. Oliver. My last-minute personal assistant, who is smiling so wide and radiantly I can definitely see his face on the cover of a magazine. He has that face. “Is something in my hair?” He’s also young. Really young and that naivety that comes with youth still radiates off him. I avert my eyes. “No, nothing’s in your hair. You can come in.” He nods, walks in, and closes the door behind him. His shirt seems to be a few sizes smaller today, or he’s grown a few sizes bigger. It’s nothing major, it’s just that I can see more than I saw the last time. “The meeting went well.” I nod and try not to let him see how nervous I am. Roman has a meeting, or at least had a meeting about thirty minutes ago, and before he left he took some time to give me a number of bright red marks on the skin of my neck. The
Luna Scarlett's Second Chance Chapter 136: "Mrs. Tyson. I'm Mrs. Diane Tyson."
Roman is heaving when I get to him.I can tell he’s trying to control himself in the way his chest rises and falls. The call with Hunter has been cut and now I'm at the door to Roman’s office, eyes locked with him because the mate bond has alerted him of my presence, and ….. oh. The lady who’s seated right before him turns to face me and cold surprise seeps into my bones, because she looks very similar to a certain person who caused my mate a lot of pain recently.“Did I do something wrong, Alpha Roman?”She turns to face me fully and I can see the resemblance hit me full on.She looks like Elara.An uncanny lot like her, but there are differences.I haven’t seen much of Roman’s former mate to know exactly what she looks like, but that moment he pushed a vision of her into my mind is still branded heavily into it.I step into the office, my eyes on Roman and I take the seat beside her. She looks from me to Roman and I let the mate bond open up more between the both of us. I pass my m
Luna Scarlett's Second Chance Chapter 137: "You can laugh now, but don't cry when I ruin your life."
“Let’s talk here.”Diane nods and sits. The look in her eyes is predatory and I clear my throat as I look around.“I didn’t mean to pry when I asked that question earlier.”“What question?” Her tone is bristling but I do not back down. “The question about Aria and Hunter’s runaway wife. I only asked because I was surprised.”I dislike how true that is but it is. How do I reconcile the fact that someone is staying by Hunter’s side of their own accord?“I’m going to say this once Vivienne, and I hope you listen to me well.” My jaw slackens and my brows furrow in confusion but Diane doesn’t stop fixing me with a cold stare “Stay away from my husband, okay? And before you pull the flustered look, save it for someone who cares. I don’t. I’m here to let you know Hunter is off limits, and also to know I am not like that bitch who ran away, I am not scared to fight for what I want, and what I want, is Hunter Tyson.Even Roman won’t be able to save you if you annoy me.”The vulnerable naive lo
Luna Scarlett's Second Chance Chapter 138: "Please mummy?"
Roman doesn’t speak of the new development,He’s out of his office when I get there. He picks up when I call him, but only to tell me he’s going to be fine and I shouldn't feel too worried. He’s an Alpha, he can take care of himself.I wanted to ask where he was, also if I could come there, not to disturb him but to simply hang around, maybe get us some ice cream and cook some food.Anything to see a smile on his face and see him happy. He asked me to check my desk for a surprise and I found another pencil sketch there.This time he drew it from his viewpoint, not the omniscient technique he used earlier.I see myself etched out in sharp lines, my ebony hair curling slightly at the tips, my glasses perched on my nose and he even captured the fine details of my dress.A smile tugs at my lips as I remember it now and the seriousness on the face of mini-me made me almost not recognize myself. Do I get into character when I'm pretending to be Vivienne? Or is that just how Roman sees me?I
Luna Scarlett's Second Chance Chapter 139: "Do you want me, Scarlett?"
I turn to the direction Danis’s fork is pointed in and find both Alpha and Beta walking towards us.Roman’s face is set in that hard line again and Fen… isn’t looking at me at all. Danis grumbles from where he’s seated but my eyes are on my mate. I watch him for signs of a bad mood.Apart from the fact that our mate bond has grown stronger, I can tell Roman’s mood from several other things.To begin with, clenched and unclenched fists, check. Super protruding jawline, check. That stance he takes where his body seems to get into this position of extra masculinity and super predatory, check.Desire is slowly stoking its flames in me and I find myself staring and swallowing, because who knew Roman could be sexy when he’s moody?“That turtleneck is a limited edition.”Fen sits beside Danis and shoots me a smug smile. This is a two-person bench. Three people aren’t meant to sit on this bench. I vacate immediately because I don't want to sit on it anyways.Roman takes the seat opposite the
Luna Scarlett's Second Chance Chapter 140: Yes, a million times over.
Roman kisses the answer away from my lips and even when I opened my mouth to begin he shushes me.“Think about it for a while okay? Make a decision when you’re ready.” I’m ready now, but the look in his eyes tells me he won’t listen to me even if I am ready. At least not right now. He spoke of me wanting time to heal, and I may need that. I may need time to heal fully, but I'm sure I can do it here.The energy in his pack is conducive for healing. Though we’ve run into some trouble, we’ve pulled through together.My smile returned because of him. I can heal perfectly with him.“Why does Scarlett look like she took away some kid’s candy?”I reach to smack Danis’s arm but Fen pulls him away swiftly. “He apologizes.”“I do not.”“Apology accepted. Thanks for being the one with manners, Fen.”Danis rolls his eyes and Lunch passes in peaceful ambiguity. Danis and Fen operate….a friendship type of sunshine feeling.They look comfortable in each other’s company and I recall what Danis sai
Luna Scarlett's Second Chance Chapter 141: "No one's in there."
Roman doesn’t ask me his question again when we meet the next morning but I don't want him to. I prefer he doesn’t.He’s always gone out of his way to show me how he feels. Maybe this time, I'll go out of my way to show him how I feel too.“You’re distracted.” His hot breath tickles the side of my ear and I giggle lightly before turning to look at him.He looks stunning, as always, and the sight of him makes me smile.“Maybe I'm just happy. I feel today will be a good day.” Roman smirks and leans in “Is this because of the news I broke yesterday, the one about the reaction of the elders in the Alpha council?”I nod and avert my eyes from his alluring blue ones. My reply to him should be a surprise. A very cool surprise that I will make happen.I can make him wait, I will make him wait.But for now “Do you think there’s anyone in that locker room?”Roman’s eyes dart forward to the door on the left and he focuses for a second before shaking his head “No one’s in there.”I smile “Good.”

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
