Luna Scarlett's Second Chance Chapter 87: "How long are you going to hide your feelings for him?"
Roman's pov.I stand outside the door and listen to Scarlett list the qualities she feels would be good in a woman for me.She speaks about the height difference between me and this lady not being too much, but if she stands in front of me, her head at least reaches my collarbone.In heels, I might be able to place my chin on her head and nestle her there as I wrap my hand around her waist.“She also has to be brave and fierce. Roman is an action man. He sees something in need of doing and he does it. He needs someone who won’t pull him back, but who’ll also be brave enough to be the voice of reason when he needs one.”Her conversation with me on speaking to three Alphas at the Lykos fundraiser comes to mind.I suggested subtle intimidation. Nothing too direct, just letting the packs allied with the Nightshade pack know they might have a hard time if they keep supporting Hunter.Yet she refused.She insisted on dialogue. She told me that loyalty is earned not forced, and she made good
Luna Scarlett's Second Chance Chapter 88: "You don't trust me, Scarlett."
Scarlett's pov. I slam my hand over my mouth immediately the scream escapes but it’s too late. It’s out already and a loud groan follows closely. My eyes flit to Danis but i know he’s been awake for a while now, the groan is that of someone whose sleep has been disturbed and the only person who fits that description is Priam. My eyes meet his disoriented purple ones and a frown lines his face. Roman’s presence beside me steadies my reaction and my apology dies in my throat. I should apologize for waking him up but instead what comes out of me is. “How are you feeling?” If the words are too loud for Priam I can't tell because he simply groans once more and turns away. He moves the blanket so it covers his form fully and drapes it over his head. My brows furrow in concern but I catch sight of Danis rolling his eyes and decide to give it a rest. Maybe he needs some more time before he starts getting grilled. My eyes take me back to the laptop and a surge of excitement comes ali
Luna Scarlett's Second Chance Chapter 89: "You can't catch a break, can you?"
Roman opens the envelope, reads the letter in it, and rips it up neatly before walking over to the bin in the room and depositing it in there. Each action contains a sort of tension that has the pit formed in my stomach deepening.Why does it always turn out this way?I sincerely didn’t mean to make him feel like I don't trust him. I didn’t read it.I couldn’t read it since it was meant for him.I hear the door click as he steps out of the room and something in my heart shatters. I curse under my breath and run my hand through my hair.When I look at Danis, he’s grinning.“You can’t catch a break, can you?”I nod albeit grudgingly. I can’t seem to catch a break and it’s infuriating. I walk back to the bed and pick up Roman’s laptop before walking over to his desk and placing it on the smooth surface.I return to my bed and slump into it.Even the clinical orderliness of this room doesn’t seem to calm my rioting nerves.“Should I go after him?”It annoys me that I'm asking this questi
Luna Scarlett's Second Chance Chapter 90: "I hear you loud and clear, Alpha."
Roman raises the ax and brings it down in a clean arc. The tree sways dangerously but the space in front of me right now is wide enough that he can get away with felling a tree. There’s enough space for it to fall and not hit anything. Roman hits the tree with the ax again and it sways once more. Then again, and again and again until I realize that he’s not trying to fell the tree. If he was it would have fallen a long time ago if he wanted it that way, he isn’t looking to make it fall. I pull in a deep breath and approach the swinging Alpha. On anyone else, this activity would have made them look sweaty and exerting. On Roman, I can only see the way he hefts the axe with ease. The sun slides on the blade of said ax before he swings it with such force that the glint of the sunlight seems to leave an afterimage as it follows the curve of the ax. How he’s doing this in his black shirt and pants isn’t helping me focus at all. “I’m sorry, Roman.” He ignores me and keeps on swi
Luna Scarlett's Second Chance Chapter 91: "May I?"
Danis casts a spell around the garden while Roman picks up his ax and puts it away.Priam pushes hard on the tree Roman was hitting earlier and it cracks and groans as it finally topples and goes crashing down to the ground. Leaves fly in the air and I'm pretty sure he just made a huge mess but Roman doesn’t say anything about it.Priam sits on the stump of the felled tree and he takes a deep breath. I guess he’s still a bit tired so he needs to rest constantly. Being delivered of a curse has to have some side effects right? I’m caught off guard when he looks at me and nods, the proud jut of his chin deflating a little bit.“Thank you.”My brain stops functioning for a while and I am almost tempted to ask what he’s thanking me for, until he moves the shoulder of his loose white shirt and I see something strange there. It’s like a faded tattoo.The mark looks fresh, but not quite.He covers it up again and gives me a sad smile.“I’ve been trying to get rid of it for years now, so tha
Luna Scarlett's Second Chance Chapter 92: "Drop the barrier and let me go, you creep!"
Roman's pov Scarlett moves her hair forward and at the sight of her nape, images fill my head. My hand stills on her zipper and despite Danis’s request to have it go lower, I find it hard to do that. They shouldn’t get to see any inch of her skin if I don't want them to. Except one of them already has. I glare at Danis as I move the zipper lower slowly. Scarlett seems to heat up with the action and I stop the moment I see the purple strap of her bra. Scarlett turns and bares her exposed back to these men. Her eyes are down and I can't see through her lashes, so I glare at Danis and Priam instead. Danis looks unsurprised by my reaction but his eyes still stay fixated on the mark all the same. He nods to himself and draws a sign in the air. I wait to smell the flare of his power but I can't. My eyes drift to Priam and his gaze is critical. Knowledge glimmers in his eyes and when he looks up, a grim line settles on his face. “I need to get back to my pack.” Scarlett turns aroun
Luna Scarlett's Second Chance Chapter 93: "A question for a question."
“It’s spreading.”My heart thunders in my chest at the fear that roars through me but the picture is clear as day.The mark has spread.After the fundraiser Roman had his specialist come in to help me get the extra area of the tattoo off. He feared that something might happen to it or new ones would appear around it.It hasn’t spread since then. It’s just been there, but now…. “It’s actually spreading.”The amount of shock in my voice scares me and strikes me as silly.I turn to find Roman wearing a grim expression and when I look at Danis, I can see he’s already aware of it.His eyes still gleam that neon green and I look to the path Priam just took as he left.“Is that why he left? Because it’s spread and he knows something?”Roman’s brow furrows just the slightest before a resolved look settles in his eyes.“It’s for the best if he doesn’t leave then.”Danis’s action suddenly makes sense but still it makes me feel an added layer of fear.If they’re trapping Priam in here, that mean
Luna Scarlett's Second Chance Chapter 94: "Selene's Decree."
“The mark on your neck is the mark of the sisters three.Some will remember it as the Decree of the sisters.”Priam is almost silent as he speaks and his words are solemn as they leave his lips.“In my pack, we call it Selene’s decree. Each component of that mark means something special to the werewolf race. The moon signifies power. It is the source of our abilities and it is what prompts the dormant soul in us out. The moon is also the source of all gifts, even magic.”“The vines wrapped around the moon signify nature at its simplest. While the moon may grant gifts like speed, or healing, the vines signify everything that is yet to blossom. It signifies nature in its raw form and……. there’s no clear interpretation for that yet.” He sounds thoughtful as he continues.“It might signify control over the elements, or it might signify something much simpler..”“Like the power to control vines?”Priam’s eyes dart up to meet mine and I can almost see the near accusation in them already.
