Luna Scarlett's Second Chance Chapter 217: "He's Fen's too."
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
Luna Scarlett's Second Chance Chapter 218: "Her little projects."
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
Luna Scarlett's Second Chance Chapter 219: "This is your first time, Roman."
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
Luna Scarlett's Second Chance Chapter 220: "You could run mad."
“Roman would make such a great dad.”I keep the look on my face blank as Priam approaches me, a smile on his face. I nod when he gets to me because yeah, Roman will.“We’re not here to talk about my husband, are we?”Priam chuckles and leans on the hood of my car. He brings out a thin object from his pocket and places it between his lips. My suspicions are confirmed when the metallic ring of a lighter is heard and I cock an eyebrow up at him, asking, “You smoke now?”Priam shrugs and takes a deep puff of his cigarette stick, walking a few paces away before blowing out the smoke and walking back to me as he replies, “It’s… a special treatment kind of thing, plus it was either this or daily visits to the hospital for a dosage. I chose the option that’d make me look cool as a High Councilor.”I snort, “High Councilors don’t smoke. They act creepy and pass laws, things like that.”Priam pulls from his cigarette stick again, mouth brimming with white smoke as he replies, “ Well this one
Luna Scarlett's Second Chance Chapter 221: "I want to see him smile, one day."
She scoffs.“You can’t uninvite me.”Elara’s barely fazed. She closes her book, gets up, dusts her jeans, and flips her loose golden hair over her shoulder.She looks stunning today but her face is set in a sneer as she goes on, “I’m still a member of the Ironclaw pack, and with that comes the immediate invitation to attend the Jubilee. You’ve already done so many things to irk me, Scarlett, let’s not add this to the list.”If it’s possible for me to feel my blood boil, I do. It creates a sick image in my mind as I imagine the thick red liquid steaming and bubbling.“I’VE done things to irk you? You haven’t done anything to be a difficult person all this while?”Elara sets a tired gaze on me, “Bad person. Say what you mean directly.”“I did.”“You’re to be seen nowhere near the hall and nowhere near the Jubilee. I’ll ask the warriors to lock you up if I need to. I have the right to do that as the Luna. Are we clear?”I see Elara’s look turn progressively ugly and she scoffs, giving m
Luna Scarlett's Second Chance Chapter 222: "I'm sure he'll have a reason."
“What are we looking at here?” Roman gives me a look from where he’s seated but I plead with him silently. He had to come back from work because of this, and I had to call in someone I don't think he really likes. Priam crosses his legs and leans back on the couch, his gaze scrutinizing as he watches the video. I can tell that they’re all waiting for me to explain but I’ve already explained. “Someone, or something, deleted footage from the Ironclaw archives a few days ago. As you can see from the footage, there’s bascially no one there, but activity is going on in the room. It’s… a cause for concern at least, because what if this thing harms one of us? It could kill a pack member right here in the packhouse, or do worse, I don’t know. It’s spooky that there might be an invisible person in the packhouse.” Roman’s voice floats into my ears solidly, “It’s more than spooky. It’s a valid cause for concern, especially with the Moon Jubilee set to be held here in a day. This is a secu
Luna Scarlett's Second Chance Chapter 223: "I know, my love."
Roman doesn’t tell me what he and his father talk about after I leave, and I stay silent on that because I don't want him to.It’s the next day and suddenly I'm feeling like…. this.I’m having mixed feelings about everything, and with the fact that Elara has been caught trying to sneak into the pack kitchens….It’s not even been a full day yet for fuck’s sake and she’s already going against the agreement i thought we’d come to.Mira sounds amused when I huff lightly after hearing her report and she continues, “It seems the former Luna wants to make a point, or she just intentionally wants to be thrown in the pack dungeons. Either way, she says she’s done nothing wrong. She raved about wanting to take her complaint to the Supreme Alpha council.She was crying and acting hysterical, probably to gain sympathy from the cooks and the maids. She said you were rubbing salt into her open wounds, sleeping with her former mate and now trying to keep her from even eating in the packhouse.A lot
Luna Scarlett's Second Chance Chapter 224: "Oxana."
The Night is warm with lights and the mansion is decorated to glimmering perfection.Roman stands like a beacon of light in my mind and he kisses the side of my neck, holding me around the waist and plastering his cheek against mine.“You look ravishing.”I can’t help the butterflies that flutter in my stomach when I look at the both of us in the mirror. Roman is fully focused on me, the sight of me, the feel of me. It’s astonishing when I realize the fact that he’s mine.His love. His heart. His sexy sexy body.“I almost don’t want you to go out in this suit.”Roman chuckles at my remark and picks something up from the table beside us, placing it on my head and looking at me with a smile when our eyes meet in the mirror again.His words bolster me, “The crown of the Luna, for the one and only Luna.”I nod and chuckle because he’s right. That’s what I am. I am his Luna, and we have a party to throw.The Moon Jubilee is in full swing by the time I and Roman come downstairs. The hall is

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
