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 Chapter 72: "The foam at their mouths, was it poison?"
Roman looks from me to his Beta, and then back to me and he has an eyebrow raised in question.The moment our eyes lock that dull noise at the back of my head disappears.It’s a jarring sensation, like… I can breathe properly now and my chest isn’t so filled with spiraling thoughts.His soft calm voice breaks the spell.“Hey.”It’s a word that’s a greeting and more than a greeting at the same time. My response isn’t so different from his.“Hey.”Fen clears his throat and my eyes snap to him. I peer at him through squinted eyes.“How did you know I was about to say Maya’s gifted?”He squares his shoulders before relaxing them and looking away.“I realized it at her school today. I’ve suspected it for a while now.”“And might I know what you were doing at my daughter’s school today?”Fen looks away again and I decide this might not be the perfect time to discuss this. I look at Roman and inquire with my eyebrows first before speaking.“How did it go?”Roman slouches into his seat in a m
Luna Scarlett's Second Chance Chapter 73: "I'll respect his wishes, whatever they are."
Roman wasn’t bluffing when he said Alpha Gomez was downstairs.I take each step down the flight of steps as carefully as I can and when I emerge on the second floor, I walk down the hallway and enter the hosting parlor by the right.The sound of laughter is the first thing that wafts into my ears.His daughter’s voice is pleasant to the ears. Her laughter is like the peal of soft bells. Something you’d want to listen to in your spare time with the assurance that you won’t get tired of hearing it.The sight of her in her father’s arms is even more heartwarming.Alpha Gomez smiles and smooths his daughter’s hair down her head as she rests on his chest. There’s a smile on her face and she’s giggling again.“I was really scared when they came for us. Mum said we should run but we couldn’t have, they would have probably chased after us and hurt us afterward. I knew help was going to come, all we had to do was wait for it.”Never have I been so aware of my aging features the way I am now.S
Luna Scarlett's Second Chance Chapter 74: "Daddy keeps on disappointing you."
I see Alpha Gomez and his wife out of the Ironclaw packhouse and into their car before I go find Maya.She’s sitting at one corner of the wide noisy room, by the only window, and staring out of it.She doesn’t feel me coming and it scares me.The fear in my heart wraps its tendrils around my mind and squeezes my lungs. I assume the worst but I reject those thoughts immediately.No.I won’t let that happen.Maya is… special. That’s all. She’ll be fine.The other kids look at me as I pass and the three attendants at one corner of the room track my movement as I make my way to her but Maya still doesn’t move an inch. My hand touches her on the shoulder and only then does she move.Maya’s head snaps to me and her eyes gleam. The purple flecks in her green eyes have become more pronounced now and she smiles the moment she sees me. My fears retreat the moment that happens and I feel my breathing stabilize.“Save some for me?”Maya’s head drops to the half-eaten plate of food in her lap and
Luna Scarlett's Second Chance Chapter 75: "Do I make you feel sad?"
For the rest of the week, I settle into a routine.Maya is top priority.Roman insists that I take care of her since she has a new development, and that means I don't spend much time in my office. I’m not pissed about that. I’m not angry that I worked in a professional environment for one day before suddenly being relegated to the packhouse for the rest of the week.I work from my room, and it’s fine because he’s right. Maya is top priority.For the rest of the week, I watch my emotions around her.Gifted werewolves are few and in between. If Maya is developing a gift at such an early age, it means it’ll grow over time, and it scares me so much I want to cry.The fear I feel brings tears to my eyes and I find myself staring out windows when it’s uncalled for.I stop and I stare and my mind runs wild with fear. My heart slams in my chest, and my pulse races. There’s a reason gifted werewolves aren’t so common. That Maya is developing a gift is something I am happy about, hell the who
