I can hear the cries for Scarlett announcing she's pregnant(✿◡‿◡), thank you so much for commenting, and yes, you will get your pregnant Luna announcement soon.
Roman goes out to the forest and I don't stop him. He goes out there from time to time, he and the warrior wolves, but today he’s gone alone and I know why. Today’s the day his father comes back with Elara, and I don’t blame him if he doesn’t want to be here for it. Maya bounces into the room with something in her hands and a wide smile on her face. She stops in front of me and stretches it over, rocking on her feet and practically beaming as she croons. “Isn’t it pretty?” I direct my gaze to what she has in her hands and my heart melts the moment I see it. “Awwnnn Maya. It’s so pretty.”It’s a flower crown, and it looks so stunning…. I can't even imagine the amount of work that must have gone into making it. There’s a large jasmine in the middle, the white petals firm and fragrant and the light green pods like stems crafted from a diamond. Every flower has been placed with care and wow… “It’s so beautiful.” I cock my head at her, eyebrows knitted in light confusion, “When did you
“You’re pregnant.”Roman storms into the room and heads for me immediately. His words tear into my heart and as he stops in front of me, his aura radiating an extreme cold and his eyes glowing.Roman’s gaze bores into mine as he asks darkly, “When were you going to tell me?”My heart pounds in my chest as I look for the words to say, I stutter “I…. I wasn't sure of it. I thought I had an upset stomach.”Roman kisses the rest of the words away from my lips. My head lolls to the side as Roman’s tongue slips into my mouth and he kisses me fiercely. His hands wrap around my waist, pulling me closer to him in a gentle manner that contrasts the ferocity of his kisses. I lose myself in the heat of the passion running between us and the moment I kiss him back, Roman lets a low growl out as he plunders my mouth. He is passionate to the brink of being rough, but never is he unduly rough with me.I smile as Roman kisses me slowly now, chaste slow kisses, nipping at my lower lip, at the side of
“Roman.”Roman ignores his father and keeps walking. Alpha Kai is literally stomping after him at this point but he doesn’t stop or slow his face. The older Alpha lets out a harsh bark, “Roman!”Roman ignores his father, walks into the room and slams the door. I place a hand on Alpha Kai’s shoulder and feel his annoyance make his body tense. He pulls in a shallow breath, lets out a huff of air, and turns to give me a nod before walking away.I stand at the door for a while after he’s gone, just feeling for Roman’s mood through the mate bond and trying to decide if I won't make the wrong decision if I also go in there.Hunter had a child all this while.The son he beat me up for not having. The son he violated me repeatedly for not having.Eight years. I spent eight years suffering for a son that had been born and was alive, but just hadn’t been born through me.I don’t know how that makes me feel. It makes me feel dizzy. I don’t know if i’m to laugh or cry or just straight up keep on
For the next three days I barely see anything of Elara or Axios. I know Alpha Kai has put them in rooms on the ground floor of the mansion because Fen tells me.I know Axios is very attached to his mother because Maya mentions it over lunch one time.I also know Elara has been seeking an audience with Roman but she has been denied.No one needs to tell me this. I read it from the letter she slipped under our door.I look at the pastel pink envelope and read the two words written boldly on it, “Please Roman.”The folded piece of paper that contains the letter itself reads, “I know I don’t have the words to apologize for what I've done Roman, and I know you want explanations, please give me the chance to offer them.I’m sorry.Yours, Elara.”Fey lets out a low growl in my head as I read that last line but I tell her to calm down. That’s just how people write letters. Elara was signing her name off, nothing else.“Luna Scarlett.”I throw the letter on the table like it’s hot coals and sn
I blink and stare at the doctor inquisitively, huffing lightly in slight confusion. “Why would I be worried? This isn’t the first time I’ve done this.”The doctor nods and reaches to pick up the test again. He smiles as he looks up and turns the test to face me. The plus sign is there and I roll my eyes though I’m smiling.“Congratulations once again Luna Scarlett.”I nod, grinning lightly, and fix the doctor with a mild stare, “Thank you. Now tell me why you asked if I was worried. You popped that question on me all of a sudden so don’t tell me it was nothing.”The doctor chuckles and something warm ripples through the air as he asks, “Well are you, worried I mean?”I feel the words batter against the shields I have put up. This is something I promised myself not to think of, but for some reason, I feel this is my sign to.I nod and feel panic make my eyes smart.“I am, worried I mean.”The warmth and excitement in the air seem to dissipate after that and the doctor stares at me wit
Hi readers. So I saw a comment today where a long-time reader indicated some confusion and displeasure at how the book is currently going. I’d like to clear some things out and also apologize to her and any other reader who has felt confused about some things so far, I’m really sorry. I didn’t plan on setting down some plot points and then abandoning them along the way. I also didn’t plan to give an abrupt ending the way I kind of did. The book wasn’t performing so well up until last month so I was asked to end it. Of course, I couldn't tell the readers that, and it really affected me too knowing that the book wasn’t doing too well according to the Goodnovel team and statistics. I planned to end the book, then read through and elongate it from within the already written chapters, clearing plot holes, fixing any confusion, making the whole story give a wholesome feeling. But last month, the book’s performance suddenly picked up, and I was asked to continue it, so I had to look for a
“The council has decided that it can no longer take a seating position on the current matters in the pack.”Roman’s father stares steadily at me as a member of the council addresses the room.“We need Alpha Roman to tell us what he plans to do with his mate who has just been rescued after eight years of her being abducted. The Alpha’s silence over this is uncharacteristic and uncalled for. Elara was a part of the Ironclaw pack before she was abducted on what had to be the worst night in recent Ironclaw history.Now, by a pure miracle of the moon goddesses' making, she has been found and brought back, but the Alpha is ignoring her!She was his mate! It’s…”“Uncalled for, unusual, not what he should do, not what you think he should do, not what you want him to do.”I avert my eyes from Alpha Kai and turn to face Councilwoman Greta. She replaced Myrtle after she left and now it seems she has made it her job to make me feel like shit whenever we sit at council meetings.I’m not always he
My body aches pleasantly by the time we’re done and Roman is kissing my neck in soft slow motions, circling the bite marks that send a thrum of pleasure to my core each time his tongue sweeps that area.I let out soft sounds, pleasant sounds that can’t be mistaken for what they are.I turn to face Roman and throw my legs over his unclad waist, literally bear-hugging him and letting the sound of his laughter ring in my ears and leave a smile on my face.“Did you miss me that much Mrs Collins?”Roman’s voice is a deep rumble that sets my body thrumming pleasantly again so I nod, burying myself into the warmth of his body and not caring about what I look like right now.Roman kisses me, his hands roaming my body as he turns to face me and his lips seal against mine. He makes me melt even more against him and blanks my mind out.I needed this.I needed this more than I knew I did.Roman’s gaze is warm and kind as he stares down at me, his ice-blue orbs glowing warmly, “All better now?”I
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
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,
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
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
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
“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
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
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
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
