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 Chapter 225: "Where is he?"
“Luna Scarlett?”…….“Luna Scarlett?”I jolt as someone touches my hand and the sounds of the party filter in again. It’s like I've been snapped out of a trance and I blink repeatedly, trying to gain some semblance of coordination but failing.The owner of the female voice taps me again and this time I finally look at her. Tria’s face is scrunched in slight confusion as she asks, “Is everything okay, Luna? You seem…. Dazed.”I jerk my head disorientedly. I AM dazed. But I put a smile on my face all the same and sigh good naturedly, “It’s just a bit of general fatigue, maybe it’s the baby.”Tria nods and moves to sit beside me on the free couch. I moved upstairs after speaking with Oxana. The lower floor seemed too crowded for me, and we already cordoned some rooms to be casual relaxation centers. This one is slightly occupied, but not too much. Not so much that anyone is paying any attention to me.“Are you feeling overwhelmed, Luna Scarlett?”I nod slowly because I am. There’s a cer
Luna Scarlett's Second Chance Chapter 226: "Come here."
“Come here.”Hunter’s voice is hard and insistent and the words are a full-on command, not a request.I direct my eyes to the man still shrouded in the darkness of the hallway, but one look at him has something in my head screaming.I avert my eyes, blinking to get the burning sensation away, and instead, I watch the look on Hunter’s face turn from one of bored resentment to livid annoyance.He repeats his order, his tone firmer, his jaw tighter, his eyes blazing with power as the command goes through the air, “I said, COME HERE.”A grunt of pain rings out, and the sound of someone struggling to breathe floats into my ears.I keep my eyes on the floor, holding my breath and listening instead as the footsteps get closer and closer to us, and only when he stops do I look up.The mark warms on my back and the energy I felt earlier seems to become lesser as I look at him now.The moon’s light bathes a hooded figure in soft ambiance. The cloak he wears is a deep purple, the color of Hunte
Luna Scarlett's Second Chance Chapter 227: "She's... not dead."
“Hey, hey, look at me.It’s okay, okay?You're going to be okay.”~~~~~~~“I want to go back.Where’s my mum? Don’t touch me!”I feel my eyes snap open to the sight of the silver-haired man moving backwards, hands in the air, mask still on.He nods and his voice is raspy when he speaks, “See, I'm not touching you.I won’t until you let me, because you have to let me. I need to find out what’s wrong with you first before I can fix it, and to do that, you need to let me touch you. Is that okay, kid?”Axios.His presence cements itself in my mind immediately like a statue and my head snaps in his direction.Fear grips me for a quick second because he’s not standing on anything. He’s floating in mid-air, yet when I look down I'm doing the same.I look around and each way I face, it’s the same thing I see. A wide amount of space, bordered by a wall of dazzling pure white.Up, down, Left,right, it’s all the same.“I want to go back…. I don't want to be here.”The fear in Axios’s voice h
Luna Scarlett's Second Chance Chapter 228: "You won't live to regret it."
I open my eyes to the strangest sight.There’s a smell in the air, and the night is still. Something’s wrong and I can tell it.A scream snaps my head in its direction.My hands fly to my mouth when I see what’s happening.Roman’s eyes are glowing again, but instead of their normal icy blue, they’re glowing the color I've only seen them glow once.A malevolent red.Elara is suspended in mid-air and I can see the tremors racking her body. She grunts, the sound indisputably borne of pain, and Roman gazes at her with a relaxed expression and his hand tucked into his pocket.His voice is dark when he asks, “What did you two do to her?”Hunter’s voice invades my senses as he bursts out in a roar and lunges at Roman. My tongue flies into my throat at Hunter’s speed and the sight of his claws sends a thrill of fear into my heart.He’s in the half-wolf form and he’s on a direct route to Roman, yet Roman doesn’t move the slightest bit. He stays right where he is, and at the last moment, at the
Luna Scarlett's Second Chance Chapter 229: "You're what you say you are."
Roman’s pov.Scarlett comes to find me later and from the look on her face, I can tell she’s wondering about it too.I sigh when she comes to me and sits in my lap. She places her head on my chest and we sit in silence. A silence that chokes me, but not in the way that kills.My words come out in a low confused rumble, “I’m… not a monster Scarlett. I’d never hurt you.”I can feel confusion muddling up my thoughts and my wife raises her head to stare at me.I look into brown eyes and I feel emotions filter through the mate bond.I feel her love for me.I feel it warm and bright.She doesn’t need to say anything, yet I already know she does not see me as a monster.“You don’t see yourself as a monster too, Roman. You’re not a monster.”She smiles at me and my heart quivers in the way only she can make it quiver. Feeling emotions has never been my strength, but with Scarlett, it comes naturally.The pride and coldness of my Alpha status roll off me in the presence of this woman and I sta

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
