Luna Scarlett's Second Chance Chapter 78: "Look at me, Scarlett!"
“Are you sure you found them this way?”I keep my eyes on the tea I'm brewing and try not to make eye contact with Roman’s beta.I nod.A lie, but one that I can always own up to later.Right now Roman and Danis are lying on couches. Roman’s form almost totally envelopes the couch he’s laying on, yet his legs still dangle off the edge. He’s still unconscious.I can’t say he’s asleep because I know he isn’t. By the time I dropped Danis on the rug in his office and went back out to check on him, he could barely stand.I’ve never seen a man try to hide the pain he’s feeling that much but Roman did. He tried to hide the pain he was feeling so much, that he must have passed out from the stress it took on his brain.I certainly didn’t try to hit his head on the wall to make him pass out or anything like that.I want to chuckle but I can't. Some would argue that seeing him in so much pain but trying his best to hide it was too much for me to bear. Though why that would be true is something
Luna Scarlett's Second Chance Chapter 79: "Have you ever considered that Scarlett might be hiding something from you, Roman?"
Roman's povI wake up to the feeling of small fingers linked with mine.I know it’s Scarlett’s without having to look.My head feels foggy and my eyes are bleary with the haze of a just-ended slumber, but I feel her. I know it’s her.My body aches, but it’s a dull ache. There’s no sharp pain when I breathe and my heart beats, fierce and strong as it always has.I turn my head to the side and a strange feeling lashes through me.It’s Scarlett, asleep, fingers linked with mine as they rest on the floor. The same floor she rests on.“Good to see you’re awake.”My ears twitch and my breath hitches. My eyes travel to the seat at the far end of my office beside the entrance and icy blue eyes lock onto mine.My voice is croaky when it comes out but I speak all the same.“Father?”My father nods and gets up from his seat. He’s grown more rested in the few weeks he’s spent away. The strain underneath his eyebrows doesn’t quite stand out the way it used to. My father is in a beach shirt and s
Luna Scarlett's Second Chance Chapter 80: "I think I killed him."
Scarlett's povRoman is staring at me when I wake up.His eyes infuse a chill into my bones, but for the first time in a while that chill… isn’t uncomfortable.It’s a strange chill, like that odd waft of icy cold air on a hot summer day, yet right now I feel I need this waft of icy air. Roman’s eyes hold a strange comfort to them, and they soften the more we look at each other.I move from my sleeping position and try to sit up on the couch. It takes some time for my bones to react accordingly, but it happens and I do.I sit up and I look around.It’s the morning of the next day. The clock tells me as much, and it also tells me I've missed taking care of my daughter yet again.A sorrowful feeling grabs such deep hold of me that I can barely breathe for a minute.Who took care of Maya then? Fen?Chills race down my spine just thinking of it and a hot emotion flows into my bones. I refuse to think of it. Call me paranoid or crazy, but I will rip him to shreds if I find out he did anyt
Luna Scarlett's Second Chance Chapter 81: "You knew."
“I can hear him breathing Danis.” Somehow that one sentence from Roman has me feeling like he’s just ruined everything. Something strange is happening here and for some reason, that thing has Danis thinking his friend is dead.I look at the body on the floor and see his chest rise and fall. So he’s breathing. Danis readily meets my gaze when I look at him but there’s an awareness in his eyes, there’s a glimmer in his green eyes that has them turning red for the barest second and just like that, I know he knows. Danis knows about the strange serpent. “Is there anything you’re not telling us, Danis?” Roman gets up from his seat now and as he walks over, his aura flares and fills the space all around us. The pressure on my chest comes back again. It’s almost the same way it did when Fen used his on me but this time it’s different. If the Beta of the Ironclaw pack’s aura felt like a weight on my chest, the Alpha’s feels the same, but instead of the weight being equivalent to that
Luna Scarlett's Second Chance Chapter 82: "I think I can see them."
Roman's pov Danis is still where we left him when I come back and Scarlett refuses to meet my eyes. Fenrir sends a ripple of sadness through my heart when he notices that, just the slightest bit of emotion to tell me he’s sad about this, but he’s also an Alpha who has his pride and won’t feel guilty when he was just trying to do what is best for his mate. “Is there any way to get rid of that thing, Danis?” The concern in her voice makes me understand why she’s angry, and I do, I understand it. Endangering the lives of wolves under my care all because of one female isn’t something that I would have ever done, but this female isn’t just any female. She’s half of my soul and she’s a second chance. People tend to take their first chance for granted. Elara’s loss was not something I ever imagined would happen. I never for once imagined that the sun would rise with me alive and without her by my side, but it did. Death came and dealt me a blow, one I still feel as heavy and as hard as
Luna Scarlett's Second Chance Chapter 83: "Trust me Roman."
Scarlett's pov. Danis gapes at me and it doesn’t take me a soothsayer to know he doesn’t really believe me. I barely believe myself but I'm telling the truth. I do think I can see them. The “defenses” Priam has on him. They’re little strands of light wrapping themselves around his body. They glow with this red-purple light that is malevolent no matter how I look at it. As Danis said, I can feel the power coming off those strands of light. Whoever put them there was powerful enough to make them, and if I look even more closely. “Scarlett!” Roman’s hand snatches my wrist and drags me back in a quick second, yet it doesn’t stop me from seeing the thing that lashed out at me. The flames are red hot and fiery. They curl around each other like the strands of a tightly corded whip, all the way from long the slithery length to the serpent-like head. My eyes lock with this creature and it hisses, a violent sound that has goosebumps crawling up the back of my spine. My heart almost give
Luna Scarlett's Second Chance Chapter 84: "Power always has a price, Scarlett."
Scarlett's pov Danis doesn’t seem to understand it no matter how I explain to him.He stares at me warily and his brows scrunch in confusion. “You mean to tell me you saw a vision of a snake with flowers blooming from its body? Then the world kind of melted around you and that snake combined with the moon?” That’s a crude way of putting it but I nod all the same and the confusion on Danis’s face seems to increase tenfold. “And you aren’t scared? You know how creepy that sounds, right?” I roll my eyes because I'm sure it’s nothing near as creepy as what some of the wolves from his pack do when it comes to sorcery. Danis seems to be naturally gifted with his power, but others are not. My reply leaves my lips sounding more honest than I intend it to be. “I’ve seen creepier stuff Danis.” “But that doesn’t explain why you’re able to deactivate the wards around Priam.” Danis is making moving on from this hard for me so I look to Roman. His ice-blue eyes meet mine and I find myself
Luna Scarlett's Second Chance Chapter 85: "Do what you must Alpha."
Roman's pov.Flame erupts in a crescendo but I see Scarlett speaking words of power to it.My mother once told me the words of a woman are powerful, the words of a mother even more.I feel the aura of a mother radiating off her. It’s a protective thing, it’s an aura with love at its forefront, following it is care, and at the heart of it is sacrifice.Danis speaks in his slithery lilting tones and even from this distance, I can see the surprise on his face.Scarlett speaks slower than he does, and though her words slither and lilt, they don’t sound the way the sorcerer”s does.Her words don’t hurt me as I listen to them, she takes them one at a time, gibberish sounding and insensible, but perfectly sensible at the same time.Her hand moves and my aura flows out of me to block her on instinct.A fresh gush of flames erupts from within the circle and shoots out at her but they never get to her.Fenrir channels his rage at the attack on his mate into me and my eyes glow fiercer than they
