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.
Luna Scarlett's Second Chance Chapter 95: "Just you."
Roman's pov “What’s happening in there?” Danis doesn’t look at me. He barely acts like he noticed I spoke. The urge to get angry and annoyed at him surfaces but I push it down. I can’t force him to do anything unless I want to get violent and Scarlett is still in his barrier. I can keep calm till this ends. I can do it for her. “They’re on their way out.” The pulse of magic hums in the air immediately and Scarlett stumbles lightly on her feet as the spell casts her out. I move without thinking and only realize I used my Alpha speed when I'm at her side. Scarlett doesn’t flinch when I touch her. She only tries to regain her balance and I chuckle at how endearing that looks. I swayed on my feet too when I came out. Danis didn’t look like it affected him the slightest. Priam’s presence breaks the bubble I'm encased in with my mate the moment I notice him and though he looks slightly disoriented, he’s okay. He doesn’t sway on his feet and his skin seems to glow with a health
Luna Scarlett's Second Chance Chapter 96: "I've endangered your pack yet again."
Maya is giggling.Not the kind of giggle that would have her stop after a few seconds but the type that has her repeating that giggle and increasing its intensity.Danis is passing her chocolates under the table and I believe my daughter considers it a highly scandalous situation. The minute I throw a glance their way, they both fall silent.Deathly still and picking their food kind of silent. I don’t need to ask Danis where he got so many chocolates from.Maya told me she saw a car driving into the compound when she came down from the car that takes her to school, a car and a driver I still haven’t thanked Roman for.I grit my teeth when I think of it. Maya says she hasn’t seen Fen today, and I know I have to talk to him about what I said… was it yesterday or today?I feel like shit when I think of it. I might have hurt his feelings in the worst way, and if what Danis told me is true I suspect I did. Roman’s beta lost his daughters to the Rogue attack. His daughters and his mate.Fu
Luna Scarlett's Second Chance Chapter 97: "Aren't you two forgetting something important?"
Scarlett's pov Roman does not make any comment on what I have done and it scares me. There’s nothing worse than knowing you could be the cause of someone’s life going to hell, and having that person be Roman makes it feel like I have a thousand daggers in my chest. He stares at me, nods, and sips his drink. “What about the mark?” I swallow and relay everything Priam told me to him. I tell him of the symbolic significance the components of the mark hold, I tell him of how Priam said he wasn’t too clear on the meaning of the vines and the flowers but how he was certain of one thing. “He says the mark is Selene’s Decree. According to legend, it’s something that appears on the body of a werewolf when that werewolf’s pack is going to produce the next Alpha King. Not just any Alpha King…. But an actual Alpha King.” And then the panic sets in my mind once more as it goes wild. Roman glances at me and I can tell he’s having the same thoughts. If the mark had appeared on my body and th
Luna Scarlett's Second Chance Chapter 98: "Leave the baby alone Hunter."
Hunter's pov“Any news on Knoxx and the other warriors?”The fools I have for warriors shake their heads and anger blossoms in my heart. I extinguish it and walk past them, my feet taking me up to the rickety old house in front of us.Disgust makes my lips curl.I hate poor people.Their presence makes something in me revolt. When they’re werewolves is when it becomes a step worse, I feel like wiping them off the face of the earth.Weak packs are meant to bow to the strong ones.These packs shouldn’t be allowed to exist. They should be fair game for larger and stronger packs.But of course, the treaty won’t allow that to happen.I climb the wooden stairs and irritation makes my aura fluctuate. The wood creaks and….“Hunter?”My eyes flash at the sound of that voice and I turn to find her standing there.The old lady. An old wolf my mother used to know.“Is that really you Hunter?”When she attempts to draw near I raise a finger that stops her dead in her tracks.“That’s close enough,
Luna Scarlett's Second Chance Chapter 99: "Did you miss me Alpha Hunter?"
“I can’t find her Alpha Hunter.”I nod because I didn't expect her to right away. Scarlett has managed to hide herself somewhere….. somewhere I cannot get to.Not by following our bond, not by trying to reach out to my daughter through our bond.Are those bonds weak?No one answers me when I think those thoughts so I shut them down and focus on the task ahead instead.Roman has been messing with my stuff. I clench my jaw when I think of it yet I keep the look on my face neutral.I have no beta. I am surrounded by fools, and there is not one capable person around me except for me. I feel like setting the world on fire and watching it burn to hell, but that would be foolish of me.Scarlett may think I only know how to inflict pain but she brought that upon herself. She had one job.“We’re here, Alpha Hunter.”I direct a side glare to the dolt I have for a driver and he looks away immediately, his jaw clenched and his eyes fixed on the road.The gates to my pack are opened and I look at
Luna Scarlett's Second Chance Chapter 100: "What bond?"
Roman’s councilwoman doesn’t look surprised to see us. The dungeons are as dark as I remember, and the fact that I was here only once doesn’t help too I guess. She sits up when she sees us and a smile lines her face when Danis comes in. She chuckles and I see her clench her fist. “You put me in a prison cell for practicing sorcery, but you bring an Alpha of the Shadowbane pack into your pack. A natural-born sorcerer. Don’t you think that’s hypocritical of you Alpha Roman?” I see Roman’s jaw clench and he steps forward but I grab his arm at the last minute. I don’t know what he’s going to do to her but I can tell that he and Myrtle are seeing different things right now. She sees how he’s being unfair and keeping her locked in a cage, but he sees the betrayal she dealt him and the pack. Roman told me of Myrtle's relationship with his parents. His father still finds it hard to believe she did such a thing and he’s had to send him on tasks just to distract the man. I haven’t been to
Luna Scarlett's Second Chance Chapter 101: "Legs around my waist, baby."
“Roman.”Roman keeps on pacing and ignores me so I try again.“Roman, look at me.”His head snaps in my direction like a released string and soon I'm staring into his eyes.Roman has a fierce air to him when he’s angry. There’s a wildness in his eyes that alarms me, but he’s still Roman.He’s still Alpha Roman of the Ironclaw pack, a man I'm not supposed to feel anything for but who I feel more than I can put into words for.I resent myself for it. Roman only offered me help yet I've brought problem after problem to him.He holds my gaze and I inspect Alpha Roman’s eyes. He’s yet to make any comment on my actions in the barrier. I just told him I revealed my real identity to another Alpha who has now left his pack, and he’s said nothing about it.“Tell me I'm careless Roman.”My words sound almost like a plea and Roman’s expression softens as his brows furrow in confusion. He’s faking that expression just to make me feel better. I know he’s doing so.“Tell me, Roman. Tell me I'm an id

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
