Scarlett's pov.Chapter 170: Scarlett’s pov.“Scarlett.”Tap tap tap.“Scarlett?”My eyelids flutter open and confusion clouds the recesses of my brain. I blink slowly, and repeatedly.What…. What happened?My eyes travel from the blinding lights in front of me to the side to meet the face of my mate. I know he’s there.I already know he’s concerned for me because I can feel that concern. I feel it like it’s my own and when I meet Roman’s icy blue eyes, my head clears for a second.Weren’t we in front of the Alpha Council a second ago? Panic flares in me and iI bolt up immediately. Stars dance behind my closed eyelids and my vision tilts. It’s like someone turned the world upside down and my hea…Roman’s hand on my shoulder stills me. The world stops and all that panic melts away.My mate pulls me to himself though I can barely make any sense of this situation, and he holds me like that for a while. He whispers words against my ears and he tells me “Breathe, Scarlett.”My heart sends

Roman's pov. “We’re going to let you keep the female and her child.” Scarlett is inconsolable. Erasmus and the other elders of the high council stare at me from their seats with rock-hard faces. There’s not a shred of pity in their eyes. This is how our world is. They were exceptional Alphas in their prime, and now that they’ve grown old they sit at the pinnacle of power. Elders of the Alpha council, and the final voices on what happens in my life and in the life of my mate. “What changed?” I feel my father’s aura prickle me lightly as he stills but Fenrir snarls and rage burns in my heart. Slow and steady. I raise my eyes to look at them, each face aged and weathered face but still brimming with the youth werewolf genes and biology grant them. I stare each elder of the council down, and I ask the question I’ve wanted to ask since they began beating my mate down with their snide laidback remarks. “Was the council really going to order me to return my mate and child to a man

Scarlett's pov.Roman bursts into the room and his scent grounds me in a way I’ve never felt before. Tears are still streaming down my cheeks.My hand still trembles as I cradle my daughter to my chest and there are half a million things I can think to do at this moment, yet I can’t do any of them. I hold Maya so close to me I feel I might be squishing her a bit, then she grumbles in that way of hers…. Like a disgruntled little cat and she murmurs into the crook of my neck.“You’re squishing me like a marshmallow, mummy.”I laugh.The laughter bubbles up right from my heart and it forces more tears out of my eyes, but my baby’s okay. My baby’s fine and hells…“Are you okay, Maya?”Roman crouches and speaks so softly to her I have to stifle my sobs just so I can watch them interact. Maya peeks up to look at him and she gives a small shrug in my arms.“I’m a bit hungry, but I’m fine.”My heart melts when Roman reaches out to cup the curve of her cheek in his palm, and Maya leans into hi

I leave the conjoined hotel of the hall the Alpha conference is being held in with my mate holding one of my hands, and my daughter holding the other. The red diamonds gleam on my finger and Maya can’t stop talking about how the main one is so large and so pretty and now she wants one. I laugh so hard, and so loud, my body can tell that my happiness is full. Those around me can tell it too because I receive looks as we walk out. Looks of scorn from some men and women when they see me hand in hand with my mate and my daughter, and looks of mild happiness and smiles from others. Even they can’t tell what’s happened and how I have managed to do this, but they know I have. They know the Alpha council has allowed me to walk away with my second chance mate and daughter intact. It goes against tradition. It goes against werewolf laws. It goes against all the punishment I should have gotten for thinking I could eat my cake and have it, but that isn’t what happened here. I suffered in m
Last Updated : 2023-08-17Luna Scarlett's Second Chance Chapter 171: “Welcome back Luna Scarlett.”
Scarlett’s pov. A chuckle escapes my lips as I grind lightly against Roman. He chortles, his laughter stuck in his chest and escaping in comical rough squeaks and that just makes me laugh even more. “You know you’re about as hard as a rock right now, don’t you Alpha Roman?” Roman buries his face into the crook of my neck and he chuckles deeply, happiness seeping through our mate bond as it mixes in with his desire. That desire courses so heavily between us that I can barely think straight right now but in between that desire is happiness. I mean look at us. We’re in a very tight storage room, kissing each other silly and groping every inch of flesh we can grope simply because we want to and we can. Roman’s voice is rumbling and soft as he whispers into my ears, “You have undone all my office protocols at this point, Scarlett… and I couldn't be happier.” A sly smile slips onto my lips and quirks at an unusual angle. I whisper my husked words through the mind link and I feel Rom

“Is everything alright Mrs Collins?”I look up and feel the stares of six pairs of eyes on me. The members of Roman’s board seem to be as worried about me as he is, but while Roman trusts me fully, they on the other hand are worried I will make a mistake.I frown as I mull over the proposition that has been brought to the table.“Reducing research and development will be the best thing for the company, Scarlett. Just think about it.” Roman’s long-time associate, Ben stares at me as he says those words, the look in his eyes very convincing, but not quite because I don't agree with him.“Reducing research and development would be good considering that we have to divert resources to other areas, but looking at the long-term effects of that, I don't quite agree. Innovation and product development are critical to any company’s sustainability.”Someone rebuffs me immediately “Ironclaw Corp is doing great right now. There’s no need to be worried about the company’s sustainability.”I nod an

Roman's pov.“Do you think this is a good idea? What if we get caught?”I direct a light glare at the female with me and she shuts up, complying with what I asked her to do and not asking any more questions.We move silently to avoid detection and my mind wanders to what Scarlett would do if she found me like this. Sneaking through the packhouse with another female.“Should we do it here?”I open the door, wait for her to get in, and close it back. “Here. No one must know about this, okay?”The female nods, an excited look in her eyes and I chuckle, “You can begin now.”She darts to the bed, fishes her toys, and pulls out a bag of…. flowers. The omega female comes to a halt in front of me with the basket of roses in her hands and she sets them on the floor, joining them a second later by sitting with her legs crossed and picking up two petals. She looks up at me with barely restrained glee.“Now the secret to making a flower crown is to be very gentle with the flowers. There should b
Last Updated : 2023-09-03Luna Scarlett's Second Chance Chapter 174: "It's fine."
Scarlett's pov. Roman asks me what’s wrong and I don't know if I can tell him. I didn’t envision today would go the way it currently is, but I'd be a bad person if I didn't tell Roman what I know. I wouldn’t feel worthy of him. “Your father says he’s located someone he thinks you might want to see.” The look on Roman’s face is still happy. He’s still smiling at me, and I wonder if telling him is really the best option at this point. I was in his office when Fen came in with a worried look on his face. He began asking for Roman, and when I said I had no idea where Roman was either, he dropped the news on me. “Your father has been looking into the attack that happened all those years ago.” Roman stills beneath me and I feel his expression freeze over. The smile is frozen on his face and Roman’s emotions leak in through the mate bond. Surprise is like vanilla on my tongue, and amidst that surprise is fear. “What did he find?” I make to push off Roman and sit up but he doesn’t l

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
