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
Last Updated : 2023-05-31Luna 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

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
Last Updated : 2023-05-31Luna 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
Last Updated : 2023-05-31Luna 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

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

Roman's povI growl when I see Danis.The sound comes out from a place of instinct, deep and strong and it only stops when I notice Scarlett’s gaze on me. Her gaze is inquisitive and surprised, but at the sight of his mate’s reaction, Fenrir calms down and lets me regain full control of myself.I glare at Danis.Letting him stay this long in the packhouse seemed like a good idea when I thought of it but now I'm having second thoughts.“Of course not.”Scarlett to the rescue.“Do you need Alpha Roman… or is this something else?”My heart soars at the shakiness in her tone. She tries to rein in her reaction but she can’t do it fast enough. Her words quake and she sounds out of breath, standing is all I can do not to walk over to Danis, slam the door in his face, and kiss my mate until she can barely breathe.“We’re here to see both of you actually.”Danis isn’t the one who speaks, it’s Priam. The current Alpha of the Lykos pack.Annoyance flares in me momentarily and I resist the urge

Scarlett's pov My eyes barely catch the gleam of yellow flames before Roman pushes me so violently all my breath is knocked out of me when I hit the wall.It takes a scorching hot waft of air for me to realize his hand is around my waist and my body is flush against his.How Roman moves, I have no idea, but it’s an action that lasts a swift second, the only indication we moved is the gentle waft of air that caressed my face for a split second.Fire gushes out of the door to Roman’s office like a blowtorch and hits the spot we were just on.Fear pools in my belly but above that is panic.“Danis. Danis is in there.”Roman’s hold around my waist tightens and his words are a growl that sends shivers down my spine.“Don’t even think of it.”He lets go of me but he might as well have pinned me to the spot with his stare.My eyes flicker to the door again and at the yellow glow of flames in the albeit shadowy hall, panic rises in me again.What is happening in there?Danis’s voice is my rep

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
