Roman blinks when he’s told the report.

“What do you mean the footage disappeared?”

I can see the female warrior giving me stink eyes from the corner of my sight but I know she’s not brave enough to expressly give me that look. The moment I look at her fully, she averts her eyes and looks away. The room is silent with Roman’s emotions being the loudest here, he asks again.

“I said what do you mean the footage disappeared? I want the truth unless you’re both going to pay dearly. Do I have to bring to your notice what this might mean?”

I can see Roman’s patience swiftly running out and the male warrior steps forward, “Punish me, Alpha Roman. I was the one in charge of safeguarding the security footage and I was negligent in my duties. No one else is to blame but me.”

I chortle under my breath at that.

He’s trying to take the fall for his woman. That’s cute, to be honest, but it’s not going to solve our problem. I speak to Roman through the mate bond.

“Tell them to leave.”

    His name is Reginald.Not a decidedly wolf name, but it suits him. The Ironclaw warrior in the lounge room with me isn’t one of the two who were present in the surveillance room when I got thereReginald is the lanky one. The one who worked fast with a computer and who mistakenly pulled out a video from eight years ago.“I really didn’t do it with malicious intentions, Luna Scarlett. I didn’t even know the video was there.”He’s young, younger than me. If I had a younger brother, I'd imagine they would be the same age but that’s not the point here.“I know you didn’t pull it out on purpose so you can relax on that Reginald, I’m not here to punish you for exposing the Beta and former Luna’s relationship, that’s not what I want at the moment.”He nods warily and looks at me skeptically, “What… Do you want then, Luna?”I divide the mass of cooked noodles I brought along with me into two small dishes for eating, keeping the rest covered in the ornate pearl bowl. I add the meat I know Iron

    “In recent news, it has been discovered that Alpha Hunter Tyson of the Nightshade pack has a secret child. A male child to be precise by the name of Axios Tyson Nightshade. The facts about who this boy’s mother is are yet to be releasedSpeculations are, though, that he is the secret child of Luna Scarlett Collins, former wife of Alpha Hunter and former Luna to the Nightshade pack. If we all recall about half a month ago Luna Scarlett and Alpha Hunter were in the Alpha court at the Alpha conference..”I switch off the television for lack of a better thing to do and Roman’s voice floats clean and clear through my head.“Calm down Scarlett.”I want to, gods I want to!I want to calm down so bad it’s like a pang of hunger in my belly but … by the moon goddess and all things scared!“She leaked the news about Axios.Not even a day after I told her! It hasn’t even been a few hours yet, what the hell? And my child? Aria fully knows Axios is not my child, why would she leak the news of him o

    “Scarlett Collins here.”The phone is like a violent radioactive device as I hold it in my hands. All I want to do is hurl it.“Scarlett? Oh my god, I’m so sorry Scarlett. I told Tria, and she told our mum and she blew it up to the media. I told Tria to keep it silent, but I think she’s trying to curry favor with Mother and it’s just…. I’m so sorry”I can hear the remorse in Aria’s voice.The Aria Tyson I knew would hardly apologize in person, much less over the phone.“Scarlett?”I blink, “I’m still here, and yeah, no problem, it would have gotten out at some point though I'd have liked it if it happened after the Crescent moon Jubilee, but there’s no problem.Axios is her grandchild.”“And so is Maya, but she didn’t make this kind of fuss. Her behavior isn’t acceptable Scarlett, I'm sorry.”Genuine surprise flows through me because wow, this is really a change.“It’s alright Aria. Should I expect her tomorrow then? You know her better than I do, is there anything I need to watch o

  • Luna Scarlett's Second Chance   Author's note.

    Hi readers. I apologize for the lack of updates these past three days. I forgot to inform you all i would be going on a temporary break. I'm back now (though i hurt my thumb on my break lol) Updates will come in soon, and since this is the last month of updates for Luna Scarlett, i will most likely upload 2 or more chapters each day, depending on how much i can write. I hope you guys are excited. I saw a recent comment about chapter length, i have explained the concept of this earlier but no worries, the new chapters should be longer hopefully. Love you all, and thank you so much for reading my book. Your support and readership means the world to me💕 I will think of creating a reader group somewhere so we can all connect and i can introduce some of my new book ideas as well as give updates on ongoing books.Hope to see you all there.

  • Luna Scarlett's Second Chance   Chapter 216: "Was it intentional?"

    “What are you doing here?”Hunter’s form in the doorway sets red filling my vision. It’s been a while since I saw his face and though my days haven’t been peaceful, they’ve been bearable.His face makes everything feel the worst kind of unbearable and I want it gone.“Leave.”My word is crisp and clear and I see Hunte’s eyes widen before he scoffs.“You haven’t even heard what I want to say.”“I don’t want to hear it. I want you gone, now. Leave. You aren’t allowed here anymore.”“And who says I'm not?” He takes a step into the room, “I have every right to be here, my child is here, and so is his mother. If you didn’t want me here, you wouldn’t ask Roman to keep them hostage.”I drop the food in my hands first so I don't spill it in anger. I’d probably burn my leg badly if even a drop of it touched me and I won't let Hunter do that to me.I face him fully and make the look on my face neutral. I hate the fact that I know this about Hunter, but I do and it’s a simple fact. The emotions

    Roman’s presence carries a chill wind into the room with him.The papers on the table fly off as he walks in and I feel the temperature drop a few degrees. The doctor huffs at the sight of the scattered papers but Roman’s already coming to me, he places a hand on my head the moment he reaches and asks.“Are you okay?”I nod and close my eyes to let the feel of his presence sink into me. Roman’s concern is a thrumming in his veins and I feel it through the mate bond. Fenrir’s anxiety has Fey rising to the surface slightly, the heat of her warming my eyes and my blood.I open my eyes and look at Roman, letting a smile spread on my face as I respond.“I’m okay. I promise. It was just a mild burn. The bowl tipped over suddenly and it spilled on my leg, the water wasn’t even that hot.”A voice cuts me off immediately.“Actually, it was plenty hot.”I direct a mild look at the doctor to hint at her to please shut the fuck up but she goes on, totally ignorant of me as she looks at Roman.“I

    There’s crisp silence in the room and Roman sits on the side of my bed. There’s a heavy dip where he settles but it comforts me to feel that dip. I hear his breath go deeper, I hear Roman’s blood begin to rush heavier and there’s the need to have him lay on the bed with me in my blood. An image of that forms in my mind and I chuckle because it would be weird. Roman in the powerfully tailored suit and his leather shoes lying in the too-small hospital bed with me. I reach for his hand instead, and he takes mine in his immediately. I ask lowly, “Are you okay, Roman?” Roman huffs in an emotion that feels like bitter amusement and he turns to look at me, “How?” Explaining how means bringing up my conversation with Hunter and I'm not ready for that yet so I ask quizzically, “Do you know Elara has a master’s in genetic engineering?” I feel something hit me in the gut immediately because I was wrong. I thought bringing up my conversation with Hunter would be appalling yet even this manag

    Maya is waiting in our room when I get home and she’s with Axios. They’re seated on the couch and surprisingly, they have a board game set out.Maya’s already looking at the door when I come in and she gets up immediately, running to embrace me. I pick her up in my arms and wrap her in a hug.Ugh, I wanted to do this when she came back from school, “I heard you hurt yourself, mummy.”I nod softly and chuckle, “I’m fine now, baby girl. Did you enjoy lunch? I made it myself.”Maya nods and shyly whispers something in my ear, “He… was here. Axios’s dad.”I do not let the frown that threatens to line my face manifest itself, I ask instead, “Did he say he wanted anything?”Maya shakes her head, “No. He only told us you had an accident while cooking and he made sure we ate.”Axios stands awkwardly by the table and he looks away when I turn my eyes to him. I see they’ve both changed from their uniforms and I nod internally because it means someone’s been taking care of them at least.I drop

    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,

    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
