Luna Scarlett's Second Chance Chapter 64: "I need your help, Alpha Roman. I'll do anything."
Roman's povI wait for her to come but she doesn’t. For some reason, she doesn’t make an appearance, so I sit and attend to some of my work.The project Scarlett helped me gather investors for is a power production project. In some countries, solar energy is the order of the day but some still rely on crude oil and power generators.Ironclaw tech can help with that, we can introduce new, better, more easily renewable sources of energy, but the amount of money to go into such a project isn’t little.Raising it is harder, and as much as I would like to carry out this project as a charity, it doesn’t fit into the scale I see it.A charity on that scale could run Ironclaw into the ground, and we aren’t so magnanimous on funds right now that I can afford to carry on with that nevertheless.My lip curls in a snarl as I think of that. I hate it when my pack lacks anything. We should be powerful enough to…“Good morning Alpha Roman.”My eyes snap to the door and there she is.Scarlett waltz
Luna Scarlett's Second Chance Chapter 65: "Someone wants to frame the Ironclaw pack."
Scarlett's pov“I can’t eat this.”The words replay in my head and I feel like breaking something.He doesn’t eat doughnuts? He’s lying.Fen told me he eats them and I acted on that. I was told to make sure he eats, and I don't know how that is the job of a personal assistant but Fen said his former assistant used to do it all the time. This is my first day, and I want to make an impression.I did that for him and he gave me such a reply. Have I gone into the wrong line of work?I wake up my computer from sleep mode and see I have a new email. The unopened envelope stands at one corner of the screen and I look at it before clicking.I don’t have to be hesitant every time something new happens to me. Roman and his Beta are the only two people who have this email so far.Sure enough, the email is from Roman’s beta and as it opens, I frown at the content of what I read. There’s a website address and a password.I click on the link and it takes me to a page, asking for my email and pass
Luna Scarlett's Second Chance Chapter 66: "He's doing it out of spite."
“What are we going to do about it?” The frown that etches itself onto Roman’s face has me feeling a wave of stubbornness rising up in me. If he says we shouldn’t do anything, I will stand up right now, walk out of this office and slam the door behind me. “They’re in that fix because of us Roman.”“They’re in that fix because of Hunter, not us. He’s a coward and a sly fox but he’s no fool.”The coldness in Roman’s words makes me calm down and I nod.He’s right.Hunter must have done this because he saw the other man talking to Roman yesterday. Anyone could see that the older Alpha had been charmed from miles away. Hunter must have suspected something was up.But another Alpha’s mate and only child?That is going too far. It is a deliberate power play on his part, and there’s every possibility Alpha Gomez knows it’s Hunter’s doing and this message isn’t just a call for help.No. If he tried anything too dangerous he knows Roman could easily go to the pack and shut him down. It would
Luna Scarlett's Second Chance Chapter 67: "So what's the plan?"
Roman's povScarlett is scared.The emotion rolls off her in waves yet she tries to pull herself together so she can help a man she barely knows.“It’s going to be okay, Alpha Gomez.”“It’s the rogues that did this.”The man sounds like a shattered version of himself, his voice is lifeless yet holding so much pain.“They want me to surrender the pack to them. They’d do anything to take my pack from me. They’re a…. They’re a threat. You have to help me.”Scarlett’s eyes meet mine before she looks back to the phone and nods.“I promise we’ll get your wife and daughter back, Alpha Gomez. You did the right thing by calling Alpha Roman.“If this doesn’t work…. I’ll have to surrender my pack to the Alpha of the Nightshade pack.”Scarlett’s frown matches mine but when she opens her mouth to ask further, I raise a hand and stop her from doing so.The full picture has already come into view. Alpha Gomez just answered the question I've been asking myself all this while. “I have to go now Alpha
Luna Scarlett's Second Chance Chapter 68: "Are we being followed?"
Roman's pov“Are you headed out Alpha Roman?”I nod at my secretary and she smiles in that all too familiar way. I don’t see if she treats Scarlett with the same aura of deference she treats me. I don’t hear them exchange any greetings, but I never expected it.If she was accepted by them that fast, I would have been discontent, a little bit unhappy too because that isn’t how things are done around here.I can’t force anything onto my workers. Orders, yes, but they rarely go against my orders. My opinion though… is not something they would so easily concede to so even if I want Scarlett to fit right in immediately, she will have to earn the trust of her co-workers. Their trust, their respect, just like any Alpha or Luna of any pack.Movement at the corner of my eyes makes me lean against the wall and direct a critical gaze at her.“You’re nervous.”She nods and releases a pent-up sigh. It’s short, and deep, almost betraying the full intensity of her emotions but not quite capturing i
Luna Scarlett's Second Chance Chapter 69: "People find each other online all the time."
Scarlett's povI search for Danis immediately.The pack guards looked surprised to see me back but even more of them look surprised now. I have my heels off my feet and they’re being held by the straps. My bare feet on the marble floor is refreshing but that isn’t the reason I'm here.“Can you direct me to Danis’s room please?”The guard sneers at me and walks off. I scowl. I won’t be getting any information from him. Based on how they all had the same sneering look in their eyes, I guess it’ll be hard to get any information from all of them.I stop walking, pace and begin to think.Danis isn’t a member of this pack, but he’s here as Roman’s guest and there should be a section of the packhouse reserved for keeping people like that. I walk forward and hope I am going in the right direction.I ask the next person I meet to point me in the direction of the guest rooms and luckily for me she does. It feels like a bad thing to assume the males in this place are dicks while the females ar
Luna Scarlett's Second Chance Chapter 70: "F**k what your father made you study."
“Do you have it?”I nod and hang my phone by my ear before making my way to the laptop in front of me and tapping out the address on the world wide web.“Scarlett, I asked if you found out where they’re being kept?”Oh, he can’t see me.“Yes, I nodded earlier but you can’t see me so you probably didn’t… see it.”That sounded dumb so I swallow the rest of my words.“Anyways, I have the address.”“How?”The impulse to hide the name of my source flows into me again but I decide it isn’t worth the stress. He’ll learn of it one way or the other, it’s best he hears it from me.“I asked Danis to help me with it. I figured nothing is too far out of reach when magic is involved right?”Roman goes quiet over the line and I wait for the lashback i’m probably going to get.“You should have informed me before going to him, Scarlett.”Roman’s voice is soft again and it fills me with a sort of strange warmth whenever I hear him talk to me like that. My fear ebbs and my heart melts so I say the only
Luna Scarlett's Second Chance Chapter 71: "I can feel it, in my head."
I go back to the office and get my laptop before heading back to the packhouse.A successful day at work seems to be out of the books for me, but I help Roman pack too and I make sure to text him informing him of what I've done.If he also left work early, then he can’t chide me for leaving early too, can he?Maya comes back from school looking almost put down when I catch sight of her but the moment she sees me, a smile lights up her face and my heart feels clear for the first time today.“I missed you, Mummy.”I chuckle as she hugs me and I pat her head.“I missed you too, Munchkin. Was school good today?”At this Maya frowns and turns back to glance at someone standing a few feet away.“Beta Fen punched my teacher.”What?I look up and catch the eyes of the person in question but I can't see any iota of remorse in them.I want to get angry, and pissed because why is he punching my daughter’s teacher in front of her?“Did your teacher do something wrong?”Maya shakes her head but Fe

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
