Luna Scarlett's Second Chance Chapter 53: "Whoever taught you how to punch was a lousy teacher."
“I’ll have to beg for my leave. It was nice meeting you, Alpha Hunter.” Hunter nods and smiles brightly. “You too Vivienne, though you didn’t introduce yourself.” He chuckles and quirks an eyebrow up at me “Are you scared of your boss or something?” I smile and ensure it reaches my eyes. “Alpha Roman is the best boss I could ever ask for. My apologies.” Danis stands too and drops his glass flute on the table. “I’ll be taking my leave too. Come on Vivienne, let’s leave the Alphas alone.” I ignore the obvious undercurrent of spite in Danis’s words and nod to Roman before taking steady steps away from the situation. Danis walks beside me and the number of glances he gets surprises me. I get a few stares myself but when we pass, I can see the eyes of males and females having conversations stop and focus on him. The farther we get from Hunter the more the necklace around my neck feels light, almost nonexistent. We take a flight of stairs up and when we’re relatively alone, I stop a
Luna Scarlett's Second Chance Chapter 54: "Is something funny?"
Roman's pov.Hunter stares at me with knowing eyes but my eyes don’t search for him.They search for her.Scarlett has somehow managed to disappear with Danis and goddess help me, if I get my hands on that lying two-faced son of a…“I know you killed my Beta Roman. I sent him on an errand and I assume he had to pass through your pack. His trail ended there.”I turn to look at Hunter and focus on him once more.He’s oblivious to the fact that his mate is in the same hall with him. Dare I say, I don't believe he’s been searching for her in earnest. I see the way he looks at the other women here.I see the way he seems totally unbothered about the location of his wife and child, but I can also see the malice in his eyes when he speaks about her.He said he would get her back, but he doesn’t deserve her. It’s not my place to say, but it’s clear as day.I lean back into my seat and direct a level stare at him.“Do you remember those times we would both play adult as children? Your father
Luna Scarlett's Second Chance Chapter 55: "Have you tried seeking help from the Ironclaw pack?"
Scarlett's povThat’s right Alpha Gomez.Confide in me.Guilt twists in my heart but I bat the feeling aside and focus on the bright side. It doesn’t matter that I'm manipulating these Alphas. I already knew the situation in his pack before I asked, or at least I guessed something must be wrong. I didn’t know it was this serious, but everything worketh out well for those who know how to adapt and overcome.“That must be hard.”The Alpha nods and chuckles. He’s an older man, luckily not a sleazy man. He looks like a good man who’s sincerely worried about his pack but has been pushed into a corner.“But getting help shouldn’t be that hard should it?” My voice is inquisitive and genuinely curious. “A lot of packs will come to your aid if you ask.”The sandy-haired Alpha Romero scoffs and looks away.“Each pack will do what is best for them. Some stand to gain from the problems of others and because of that, help isn’t as accessible as it once was. We have to seek help where we can get i
Luna Scarlett's Second Chance Chapter 56: "The floor is yours."
The Lykos fundraiser moves on with me wearing a smile on my face and looking as calm as can be.Alpha Gomez agreed to allow Roman to see if he can deal with this problem in his pack. The fact that he could simply be using us for the benefits is still there, a constant feeling at the back of my mind. He could get what he wants and decide to simply give Roman his thanks instead of proposing an alliance, but for that to happen it would mean I read him wrong, and while reading people isn’t my best quality, I have a really good feeling about this. Roman comes back with Danis in tow and I take a moment to inspect the differences between them.Roman is taller. Danis stands a head shorter than him. Roman has a dark moody look to him, a rugged handsomeness that spells danger but is also controlled.It’s the kind of feeling that makes you think he’ll bite if you touch him, but only if you touch.It hasn’t been that long since I spent time admiring his body yet the images of this morning come
Luna Scarlett's Second Chance Chapter 57: "What's wrong?"
We arrive at the Ironclaw pack in silence and we get out of the car in that same silence.I don’t know why the atmosphere seems bleak, but it does and I don't like it. The feeling Roman is giving off scares me, not in a fatal way but in a concerning way. He walks past me and the action overtakes me suddenly before I can stop it.“Are you okay?”My hand touches the sleeve of Roman’s suit but he moves away with such force that I jerk back too.My eyes are wide in panic when I look at him and his face is rigid.Something is wrong.I walk over to him and hold firmly onto the sleeve of his shirt.“What’s wrong?”“Nothing.”I scoff and frown. “This isn’t nothing. You look like something is wrong, and it feels like something’s wrong, so what’s wrong?” “I said nothing’s wrong! Now get your hands off me.”The words cut into me like knives.I let go of Roman’s sleeve like it stings and reel back from him.He walks off into the packhouse and I stand there for a minute, wondering what just hap
Luna Scarlett's Second Chance Chapter 58: "I saw Daddy today."
Scarlett.Maya does not look happy to see me and I don't blame her.It’s not every day I go out and tell her I’ll be back home before she’s home from school but I end up coming back at 7p.mShe doesn’t even look at me when I call her name in the auditorium. She simply stops sparring with the young boy staring at her with dumbfounded eyes.He should be her age from the build of him. Still has scraggly hair and round shoulders, but it doesn’t take much time for werewolf pups to mature.I’m pretty sure I'm missing out on exactly that with Maya.We’re in the room when she finally looks at me but it’s with hard eyes. It hurts her not to speak to me, she doesn’t want to do that but she feels she has to.She hands me a ribbon. purple and new and she turns around walking off to the dresser and sitting on it. Her leg taps on the floor impatiently.I smirk before getting up and walking over to her. Maya looks like she could eat me alive when she sees that smirk on my face but it doesn’t take l
Luna Scarlett's Second Chance Chapter 59: "Good morning Alpha Roman."
Roman's povThe sun hits me right on the face before I get up. I look in the mirror to see I have a furious red line across my nose.A mini sunburn, great.“I would have woken you up sooner.”My eyes snap to Fen sitting on a chair in one corner of the room. He grins when our eyes meet and drops the book on the table before getting up.He walks past me and out of the room without saying anything and I debate if I’m to go after him or just leave him to do what he wants while I try to figure out what’s happening to me.I decide the second one is better and I do that. I search around for some sunscreen and when I find none, I put some lotion on it instead. It doesn’t hurt as much. It’s just a red line on my skin.Scarlett would feel worried if she sees it, or not.Flashes of my reaction from last night come back to me and I grimace when I see myself storming off.She must hate me right now.I wouldn’t blame her. I acted like a cold prick and there’s no justification for that.I sneer at
Luna Scarlett's Second Chance Chapter 60: "Look at me Scarlett."
Scarlett's pov He was avoiding me.The knowledge of that hits me with a dull thud in my chest.Whatever was bothering him last night is still bothering him and for some reason, I have something to do with it.I tuck away those feelings and keep a blank look on my face.That’s okay.If he wants to avoid me then he should. Maybe he feels I'm devious now or dangerous since I formulated a plan to manipulate Alphas into leaning toward him for support.Was that bad though?We have an aim to achieve and the Alpha conference isn’t so far away that we can afford to slack. I want to be free of Hunter, and the Ironclaw pack will do something no pack has ever done if they can help me achieve that.They would become a beacon of justice and uprightness. The other packs would feel comfortable affiliating themselves with his pack.This could change the influence of the Ironclaw pack forever……….. and maybe that scares him.“Good morning Scarlett.”I refuse to meet his gaze and hold open the door he w

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
