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

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

Chapter 40: Roman’s pov.Scarlett refuses to meet my eyes.I can’t seem to find the energy to get angry at her for that. The salty scent of her tears still wafts into my nose if I move. It’s soaked into my now dry shirt and has been imbued into the fabric. I thought today was a good day. She received uproarious applause when the meeting ended and she smiled for the rest of her very short day at the office.What’s making her sad then?“Is it the mate bond?”Scarlett chuckles and shakes her head, bringing her teacup to her mouth and sipping gently. She drops it once she’s done and sighs heavily.“I’m crying for a very stupid reason.”Anger rises in me at this but I let it simmer down. She needs support now, not someone to scream at her and tell her she isn’t stupid. I don;”t think she can ever be stupid.She adapted to the office environment very fast and it’s remarkable seeing as she’s never stepped foot in one in the past eight years.“Can I hear the reason why you cried first? Mayb

Scarlett’s pov.I wake up to see angry purple eyes glaring at me.Maya is staring at me with such open ferocity that for a moment I believe I messed up her homework or something, that is, until I realize I am not in my bed, or my room, and I didn't sleep with Maya laying beside me.I turn and not far from me is the sleeping face of the Alpha.“I thought you would be sharing a room with me, mummy?”I bring my hand to my lips so suddenly that Maya almost jumps at the spontaneity of it, but she closes her mouth. The glare remains though and I try to move out of the bed. The first thing that stops me is the arm around my waist.I clench my teeth so hard brief dots of pain rush to my brain.How did this happen?How dare he hold me like this!“Mummy?”Worry seeps off Maya’s tone but I look at her and give her a hard stare. She glares right back but keeps silent.I move gently and separate myself from the Alpha of the Ironclaw pack.How did we even get here?Memories come rushing back and a

I take Maya back to our room and find the dresses that have been put out for me. I don’t know what to feel.I run my hands over the straight fabrics and I see some of them have been in different stages of wear already. I turn to find Maya looking at me guiltily.“I might have tried some of them on.”The scent I had caught on her this morning wafts heavily from the dress in my hands and my heart warms up as Maya blushes.“I fell asleep in that one. I didn’t know you wouldn’t be coming back and it was sparkly, the light from the ceiling made the sparkles look like stars.”I look at the dress and I will admit that while it is sparkly, it looks really expensive.Who could have done this?A frown lines my face as I pick up each dress. My hands are heavy by the time I’m done and I set them back on the bed firmly.“Did you see who dropped these here, Maya?”She shakes her head and points to the other side of the bed.“There are more in some bags there. I met them in the room last night after

Maya turns to cock an eyebrow up.“Why are you following me?”“I want to see what morning training is like.”“But it’s for children, mummy. You aren’t a child.”I put my hands on my waist and stand Akimbo.“I could manage against four of you if I wanted to.”“There won’t be any need for that.”I’m sure Maya stills at the same time I do but instead of her face retaining its frown, a glare settles in her eyes.Roman approaches us from the hallway Maya is backing and she turns when he gets five paces to her. There is a formidable fierceness in Roman’s gaze and it makes me feel a chill spread in my bones.Fear seeps into them again and this time, I don’t know why, but I feel he’s annoyed at something.He stops in front of us and with a nod of his head, gives me the coldest greeting I've received since I got here.“Scarlett.” I don’t know if my confusion shows on my face, but some flickers ever so subtly behind his cold blue eyes.I nod and clear the bitter taste at the back of my throat.

I feel like backing out.(Wipes fake tears from corner of eyes.)If anyone told me jogging would cause such a strain on my calves and waist, I would have told them I wasn't that rusty and I could still handle myself.That would have been a lie. That would have been such a huge lie.“How about we go for one more lap?”The humor in Roman’s tone makes me feel like killing him.“We’ve been running laps for an hour and a half, Alpha Roman. That’s ninety minutes!”“And you’ve stopped about twenty-eight times in the span of ninety minutes. Even Maya wouldn’t have stopped that much and she’s eight.”I frown.“Are you mocking me right now Alpha?”Roman moves ahead of me and again my eyes are glued to his form. His sweatpants don’t help in making me any more focused than I already am, which is very little and it’s appalling.My eyes track up from well-built calves to powerfully formed thighs and then to a compact waist. Roman is in a gray sweatshirt and with every move he makes, the fabric str

We do a three-hour workout routine in which Roman has me do nothing more than run from one end of the field to the other. It might sound easy, until you’re running the same path for what might be the sixtieth time in thirty minutes. My mind travels between the pain I am feeling and the controlled outburst Roman just had. I could always just rule it off as something that has been on his heart, or rather something that he says to everyone. “I am not a good man.” I could always rule it off as something normal………… but I don’t and I won’t. Something tells me the Alpha of the Ironclaw pack hasn’t fully recovered from the trauma of his pack’s attack. He might be hiding a lot of pain underneath that handsome face and cold eyes. My body screams in protest when I get up and I can swear I hear my bones crack slightly Roman opens the door to the room the next moment and we both engage in a staring contest. I win because he looks really good in his tuxedo and his eyes pop in this sky bl

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
