Luna Scarlett's Second Chance Chapter 179: "So a meeting then?"
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

Hunter is pacing in the waiting room when I get there and I can't help the sneer that lines my face. He has some nerve! That’s one thing I'll give him. He actually has the nerve to come here and show his face to me again. I can feel the anger lining Hunter’s face, the annoyance bunching his shoulders, and the impatience in his prance. One sentence spills out my mouth when he turns and meets my eyes, “Who let you in?” Hunter scoffs and chuckles, running his hand through his hair, “I come to see you and the only thing you can ask is who let me in?” I nod, “Who, the fuck, let you in? And did I ask you to come see me, Hunter? I don’t want to see you, get out.” I can feel venom leaking from my tone and I had promised myself I wouldn't be this way. I promised myself I wouldn't act like I was angry or bitter about anything. I wouldn’t act like the sight of him annoyed me, like his presence made images flash behind my eyes. I promised myself that I wouldn't act in a way that showed him h
Last Updated : 2023-09-10Luna Scarlett's Second Chance Chapter 183: "Why not?"
Scarlett bursts into the room with panic leaking off her face. She bypasses the council members, bypasses Fen and the one person I thought she’d be happy to see, and comes straight to me. She doesn’t have to lean down much to whisper into my ears yet the only thing she says is, “He knows.” I frown and look up at Scarlett but there’s a certainty in her eyes. Mixed with the slight signs of panic and breathlessness, there’s certainty in the eyes of my mate and I don't doubt her for a second. I still have to ask though, my voice a low whisper, “Knows what?” A flicker of mild amusement threatens to make Scarlett’s lips curl but she leans low again and answers, “Hunter, he knows. He’s just acting like he doesn’t.” An annoyed voice interrupts us, “Does the Luna plan to take any more of our time?” Greta’s comment makes Scarlett’s aura peak but I tilt my head to whisper into her ear, “Ignore her.” Scarlett nods and straightens up, facing the council, “I’m sorry for the disturbance. I ha

Scarlett’s pov.“I told you not to tell him!”Elara comes in weeping, her lips shuddering and tears rolling down her cheeks. She heads for Roman and screams at him, “I fucking told you not to tell him! Why’d you tell him!”Something about Roman’s stillness right now makes me feel a trill of fear but I know him, and I trust him. Roman looks up at Elara from his table and replies calmly, “Were you planning to keep him from his father forever?”Elara slams her hands onto the table, her lips pursed in anger and she bursts into a sob. The sound makes me jolt a bit. It makes me feel like her sorrow is leaking off her, trying to find its way into me and when I look at Roman to find him staring at me, a hard look in his eyes, I nod and walk over to them.I offer consolingly.“Roman didn’t have to tell Hunter about Axios’s existence, Hunter already knew. He felt Axios, all the way from the Nightshade pack the moment you two came here. It was out of our hands already, Elara.”“Did he have to te
Last Updated : 2023-09-12Luna Scarlett's Second Chance Chapter 185: "I'll be your magic metal detector."
The member of the Alpha council I see puts a weird look on my face because it’s none other than Priam.Roman told me of how Priam supposedly traded information with the Alpha council that got him to change the council’s position and make him a member, the youngest member to ever be on the council.Roman doesn’t believe Priam exchanged any regular information with the Alpha council, and now that he’s here, I can't help but feel something nervous creep up my spine.Danis comes to mind almost immediately but I push him out as fast as he comes in. Priam has an added ring of silver in his watery peach eyes, and now when he smiles I can't help but think that smile is conniving.“What do you want?”I dump myself into the seat facing him and massage my temples. I don’t sound warm or welcoming and I know it but Priam simply chuckles, his voice deeper than I remember it and raspier.“I thought I would be welcomed like an old friend. You don’t have to be this cold, Scarlett.”I already feel like

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
