Luna Scarlett's Second Chance Chapter 35: "I will pay you back Myrtle, I promise."
Roman's povShe’s in her cell when we arrive.Scarlett doesn’t gag at the stench and she doesn’t seem to smell it. It’s another indication that whatever has happened to her is related to Myrtle and the ritual.The older werewolf stares at both of us, her eyes moving from me to Scarlett and finally settling on Scarlett, roaming over her form deliberately and curiously.I don’t know when I move but I know I do.I cover Scarlett from Myrtle’s line of sight and my nose flares in slight anger.She doesn’t get to inspect my mate like that.My former councilor smiles and white eyes meet mine.“You’ve become attached, Alpha Roman. Does she know?”My breath stills and anger floods my bones like liquid heat.The old lady chuckles.“How would she? She’s still mated to someone else. She doesn’t feel anything.”My aura bursts from me with the force of a rushing torrent and I imagine it wrapping around Myrtle and sinking into her mind.“Roman..”Scarlett’s breath is shaky and whispery and I tell sh
Luna Scarlett's Second Chance Chapter 36: "What the fuck?"
Scarlett's pov “Mummy, your body is really hot.”I open my eyes to see Maya leaning over me. Her purple eyes still strike me as strange whenever I see them. It makes her look exotic, lends her a special kind of beauty, and seeing her worry leaking through from those eyes makes me smile. “It’s okay Maya. The room is just really warm.” She nods and lies down again, her head on my chest now and her eyes on the ceiling. “How long are we going to stay here mummy?” Surprising questions seem to be Maya’s forte and I should be used to it now, but it still surprises me. “Why do you ask?”“I like it here. Beta Fen has promised that he’ll let me train as a warrior if I come out top of my class for the next two years.” The frown that lines my face is spectacular. I thought I said no more discussing things with Maya without my permission. “Do you want to become a warrior, Amaya? Maya stills and turns to stare at me, eyes wide. “Did I do something wrong? You only call me Amaya when it’s s
Luna Scarlett's Second Chance Chapter 37: "To the most expensive fashion mall in the city."
Roman's pov“I really have to do all this?”I struggle with knotting the tie around my neck and turn back to look at her.This is a new day, the next morning I had anticipated last night, and I know it’s wrong of me to want something to happen immediately but I still want it. Scarlett is at the door to my room and she’s holding a sheet of paper in her hand. From the look on her face, I would say she’s shocked. She doesn’t let it show though. Just how much shock she’s in is a mystery, but I can tell it isn’t what she expected.A smile creeps onto my face as I think of that and I nod.“Yes. Those are the responsibilities of a personal assistant.”She scoffs.“Set out my suit every morning, make sure my morning tea is served in bed, polish my shoes and arrange my watches in chronological order, make my bed, and handle everything that has to do with my room?”“And a few other things.”I turn to look at her and my pretty second chance has a stunned look on her face. She scoffs incredulous
Luna Scarlett's Second Chance Chapter 38: "Something like that."
Scarlett’s pov.If I had known this was one of the duties I would carry out as Roman’s personal assistant, I think I would have asked for some more money.Shit, I haven't discussed my pay with him yet.I bite my cheek in regret at that fact and smoothen the bed. There isn’t too much to do in his room, at least not from what he informed me that I had to do. I have tidied up his room, I've also asked one of the guards to help me with a vacuum cleaner. The guard assumed I was a cleaner anyways so he’s sent for one. I should be done when I vacuum the room, which in actuality is just for the show of it. Roman's room isn’t dirty, it’s spotless, thanks to me, but I still have a lot to do.If I'm going to clean up his room, I'm going all out.The vacuum cleaner arrives and I take it with a smile. His room is huge.I know I've been in here before, I can remember waking up in that bed twice, but now that Roman’s not here and I am the only one in the room, it feels different in a way.I have
Luna Scarlett's Second Chance Chapter 39: "Come on, spill it already."
Scarlett’s pov.Danis takes me to a dress shop and on the way we talk.He asks what I'm doing in the Ironclaw pack and I tell him I'm here for work, but I can tell he doesn’t buy it. There’s no way I can give up my true reason for being here, but he also helps me in his own way.“Roman says you’re here to help with the current situation in his pack?”The male nods and looks around with a wide smile on his face. I’m surprised at the way he smiles so widely, but he does and he seems much more friendly than I thought he would be. The Shadowbane pack is renowned for its association with unsightly things. Each pack has its heritage, its history. I studied history while I was still in university and it always fascinated me, the fact that our history was mixed with that of the normal world.“You’re distracted, Vivienne.”I don’t frown when he calls me that name this time. I’ve frowned in confusion twice now when he called me that name and I was this close to telling him my name isn’t Vivi
Luna Scarlett's Second Chance Chapter 40: "How about i make his life hell?"
Roman’s pov. Scarlet hasn’t shown up for work yet.I don’t know what to make of that but I know it leaves me restless.Fen is a lazy form in my office, his blazer has been thrown off to one corner and his legs are currently on my table.I growl at the sight of it and he rolls his eyes.“Relax Alpha. I’m sure the moment she sees the ten thousand dollar ensembles you ordered for her, she’ll be running here as fast as she can.”“Does she even know how to find her way here?”The worry in my voice is appalling but Fen doesn’t call me out on it. I haven’t seen my father since the Myrtle incident. I only just remembered a few hours ago that he asked to go on temporary leave, and I'm assuming he’s currently on that leave.Guilt twists in my heart because I should feel worried about him.No member of the pack has been the same ever since the rogue attack, but not many will feel the loss accrued that day like Alpha Kai.He was supposed to retire as Alpha the year that happened. I was ready
Luna Scarlett's Second Chance Chapter 41: "Are you okay, Scarlett?"
My feet are wobbly as I run in the heels I selected to go work in, and even though the pain that lashes through my legs is intense, I still run as fast as I can and hope with all my might that I'm not too late.Roman has been waiting for me.I don’t know why I didn't imagine that would be possible. He did tell me that he had issues handling some small problems he faced and that was why he was hiring me. Because I could handle it for him.I didn’t think that would include helping him in a meeting.“Hey, be careful lady!”I dash past the older man and scream a response.“Sorry. I’m in a rush!”Ironclaw Corp should be right around the corner if the directions Beta Fen sent to me are to be trusted. Danis offered to drive me here but I refused.I know it’s cruel of me, knowing he’s lonely and he’s going to be lonely after I leave him, but if Romna sees us together and gets to learn that I blew off work just so I could spend time shopping and having tea with his guest….I don’t watch whe
Luna Scarlett's Second Chance Chapter 42: Roman's pov.
The investors are pissed but I could care less.Scarlett is here with me now so this meeting can begin.I offer no apologies, I barely act like I notice them, I expect them to fly into an outrage so I can call off this meeting and take Scarlett into my office.She flinched when I touched her. I noticed it with all my being and her body had become rigid.Something made her that way. I want to find out what it is.Scarlett’s voice is what brings me out of my reverie and I blink to find her on her feet and addressing my table of annoyed people. “I apologize for keeping everyone waiting. Thank you for not giving up on this meeting and again, forgive my lack of punctuality.”She stands beside me and drops the first document on the glass table. When I look up at her she smiles softly and winks before looking straight ahead.Her actions make my annoyance drain away.I don’t care if this deal is struck or not. I have investors lined up and it would only take a phone call to get the next set

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
