Luna Scarlett's Second Chance Chapter 145: "Your friend?"
Hunter's povRoman steps out of his building with her. I feel something in me still at the fact that he’s down here. Here with his assistant, who has told me she is with him, but even his mate wanted me. His assistant will be no different.My breath catches when I see her because she’s stunning. The black dress drapes beautifully down her body and the thigh-high slit teases my vision. It’s a dress I'd like to see any woman in, and it fits her perfectly.The smile she gives me is cold when she stops in front of me.“Good afternoon Alpha Hunter, I got your text.” Roman stands a few paces away and doesn’t look at me. There’s no friendliness in his stance and no warmth in his posture. Something prickles the back of my mind, a faint possibility, but I discard it. Aria had to have done something to get him to give her the wolfsbane.The thought of him getting intimate with my sister has my blood curdling, but Roman would never do that. He’s too noble.He probably considered the years of f
Luna Scarlett's Second Chance Chapter 146: "I love the way you make me feel"
Scarlett's povRoman drives us to one of the most expensive restaurants in town.There is barely any traffic on the road so the ride is smooth and enjoyable. I tell Roman how I had a cousin that died suddenly when I was eighteen years old.He was an Alpha. One of the rare few not born to Alpha parents. His father, my uncle was a beta and his mother was an omega.His death broke them because he was so kind and nice for an Alpha. Alphas are usually self-obsessed pricks who think of nothing but themselves and their well-being.Roman gives me a look at that but the smile on his face is undeniable.I speak on how his body was never found but how his bed sprouted worms the night before. It freaked the whole pack out. Days later traces of his blood were found in the woods. The pack shaman concluded that he had been cursed. Traces of magic were found all around the pack. In the woods, on his bed, I felt something I never felt during those years, and it was the loss of a loved one.I believed
Luna Scarlett's Second Chance Chapter 147: "Marry me."
Roman speaks freely and I listen with all my might. His thumb doesn’t stop rubbing the one spot on my hand and I rub his too sometimes.I see the locked-up emotions in him come to the light and then fade away as he talks about them and their effect on him.I hate the way my hate for Elara seems to multiply the more he speaks.She and Hunter might have been the perfect fit for each other. Hunter, a cheat, and her, also a cheat.Roman’s voice fades into the background for a brief second and I say something I wish I could take right back.“Marry me.”Roman stops in the most halting sudden way that a smile tugs the side of my lips but the shock has my face frozen in place. Roman also looks stunned and I spend the moment of silence asking myself “Why did I just blurt that out?”This isn’t how I planned to do this.“Say that again, Scarlett .”Roman’s words have my skin pebbling and when I look at him, his gaze is hot and heavy on me. His thumb rubs the bone of a knuckle and I try to stead
Luna Scarlett's Second Chance Chapter 148: "I'll be better in a minute."
Roman drives us towards the pack in relative silence and I feel like I should worry.His answer had been a kiss on the lips. In front of everyone in the restaurant and amidst cheers and hollers.The smiles of the people my eyes met made me feel on top of the world. But what was better than that was the feeling coming off Roman’s end of the mate bond.I felt happiness from him.I have felt him happy before, but this time that happiness was like a raging fire. I could tell he was happy, I could feel it leaking into my bones. I could tell he was filled with it, and there was no space for anything else.He whisked me into the car immediately after and we’ve been driving in relative silence ever since. The smile on Roman’s face could blind the sun itself, and that smile hasn’t faltered.Me telling him I'm worried would kill the magic of today. It would ruin the mood, so I don’t. I plaster a smile on my face, keep my eyes straight ahead, and try to ignore the odd prickling along the ridge o
Luna Scarlett's Second Chance Chapter 149: "Joe's Diner."
Roman’s pov.Scarlett opens her eyes and panic flares through our mate bond. When she turns to look at me her face has turned pale and her breaths come in short heavy bursts.I wheel the car to the side of the road and park there. A traffic officer comes for me immediately but one look at the car has him making his way back. The crest of my pack is there if they know where to look for it, and any officer that sees the Ironclaw crest and still comes for me must be new or foolish.Scarlett has buried her face into her hands and she’s taking deep breaths.My voice is hard when I speak.“Talk to me, Scarlett.” She peeks at me from the corner of her eyes and I see something like doubt glimmer in them. Not just doubt, but fear. It skitters along the bond and sends a chill into my skin. The urge to protect my mate from whatever is bothering her rises in me but I resist and wait for her to speak. I can’t help her if she doesn’t let me know what’s wrong.“Scarlett.” She turns to look at me f
Luna Scarlett's Second Chance Chapter 150: “It's fine. I'm here to discuss with you about Maya.”
Scarlett's pov Roman drops me off at the pack as he promised and gives me one last kiss before backing out and going to wait for Maya to come out of school. We discussed it in the car. He’ll switch cars with one of his men while passing underneath the bridge that leads to Ironclaw prep. I wouldn’t put it past Hunter to have spies of his own and getting them to follow Roman would be an order he’d be all too happy to give. Slight panic flares in my heart again but I resist that feeling and assure myself it will be okay. Because it will. It will be okay. Despite my self-assurance, I keep my wits about me and my awareness out. There’s nothing Hunter isn’t capable of when he’s angry, and I made him angry. Dangled Vivienne in front of him like a treat and then snatched her away in a not-so-nice way. Maybe I shouldn't have done that. My brain revolts at the thought of it and the look on Hunter’s face comes back to me again. No way that look wasn’t worth the small effort I put in.
Luna Scarlett's Second Chance Chapter 151: "Hunter is also her father, Isn't he?"
Fen brings to light something I've been oblivious to all this while.Maya’s custody.I don’t think I have ever considered what would happen in that aspect, and now that I listen to what could and may happen, my blood runs cold.“I… I can't give Maya to Hunter. That’s impossible.”Fen nods and his expression becomes less stony. He must have heard how bad my voice quaked and I despise myself for that, but I can't give Maya up for anything.“I know it’s hard to take” I swallow and Fen’s expression turns disconcerted, yet he continues “But it is one of the things that might happen when you go public with Roman for the werewolf world to see.”“But Maya is my daughter. She’s mine.”My heart palpitates and I sound like someone trying to convince herself of a fact right now. Fen shatters my whole outlook not a second later.“She’s not just your daughter Scarlett. She’s Hunter’s too, and he has rights to his child.”“That shouldn’t be the case when we divorce. He’ll cut off our mate bond. He’l
Luna Scarlett's Second Chance Chapter 152: "Same."
I kick the door of Roman’s library open and wince at the way it bangs against the wall. Danis looks up from his table by the side of the window and I'm surprised to see him wearing glasses. They’re almost like mine, but I know they’re medicated. The worry in his expression has me pausing for a moment before I make my way to him as fast as I can.Two piles of books are on the floor and one is larger than the other.“Did Fen tell you?”I nod and Danis looks away. “I’m sorry I didn't say this on time. It’s always been at the back of my mind, I think I simply… forgot.”Somehow the way Danis makes this sound like it’s his fault makes me feel how young he is. He’s only twenty-two or twenty-four, yet he doesn’t act his age at all. I’m pushing twenty-nine, almost close to thirty, and I freaking didn’t consider that my daughter’s custody would be an issue!“If you’re going to allot blame, heap it all on my head. I’ve been a dumb bitch, and a very irresponsible mother.”Danis’s brows crease

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
