HUNTER

They had beaten me to a pulp, but they were going to need more than that to end me. I just need to know if Tara is alright. Since Daphne carried her into that separate room, I have seen nothing and heard nothing. My wolf is terribly weak. I struggle against the chains. I've been doing that for hours.

Killian came and asked Daphne when she was going to kill me. She may hate me now, but I know she can never do something as horrendous as that. Daphne still loved me. I couldn't kill her as well if given the chance. There was just something holding us back.

She stalled my execution date until two days from now. Meaning, Nikolai has 48 hours to rescue me successfully, or I have just that amount of time to break free before they sell her off to Ander. I need to save her, or else I won't forgive myself.

I struggle against the chains bound to the ceiling above. It hung me up. I pull with all of my might, but nothing can save me from the weakness freezing my wolf out. I feel helpl

    NIKOLAI Winter's giving birth. I'm as anxious as a live wire. I'm pacing the halls of the house while the midwives and the pack physician deliver our son. Hunter is with me. He's carrying his daughters and feeding them breakfast on the dining table. The house has been gloomy for months since Tara died. This is the first thing that has brought joy to all of us. Our son. I can't wait to meet him. I wonder who he would look like. Deep down, I want him to look like his mother. I smile to myself, and Hunter calls me out. "Pull yourself together. You are embarrassing me." I clasp my sweaty palms together. "I guess this was how you felt when the twins were born." Hunter smiles genuinely. He doesn't do that anymore. There's no reason for joy in his life, and I truly feel sorry for him and for everything he's been through. He lost Daphne and lost Tara, and to think he will always have the memories lodged in his head is pure torture, even for me. "Yes. I'm pretty damn sure I felt much wors

    EPILOGUE 2018 A Maybach gears up after the traffic lights turn green. There's a man in a suit in the back seat. He's looking out the window and staring at the billboard of an author and popular model. She's beautiful. He thinks, and he continues staring until his phone rings. "Hello?" "Liam, will you still make it for the meeting?" "Yes, Zach. I'm on my way. There's no traffic, so I'll be there in about five—" The car comes to an abrupt halt. He hears the sound of crash and mutters a curse under his breath. He will not be getting out of this one easily. He looks up and sees the angry driver of the other vehicle already slamming their door closed. He turns to his driver. "What happened?" "I don't know. She just stopped abruptly. I have no idea why. This woman is obviously crazy." He pinches his forehead and comes down from the car after his driver does. She is furious and crazy because the way she's already raving about her bashed car has him taking cautious steps forward.

  • Second Chance Luna   Chapter 1: Broken Lines

    I'm standing in front of my room window, feeling satisfied with the events going on outside. Jacob, my alpha, is returning successfully from the war with the rogues today. It's been months since I've seen him and I'm so excited.I feel for the locket he gave me before leaving. It was his token of love for me and a promise that no matter what happens, we will be together forever. I believed him; I still do. Tears well in my eyes like always, but I wipe them off, and blow out a long breath, putting on my best smile. It's a happy day."Luna Rose!" My personal maid, Tara, shouts from the entrance of my room, calling my attention. With a frown on my face, I saunter over to where she stands. I'm wondering what the problem is, but then, as I see what she's holding, I immediately gasp and scream. There's fear in her eyes and she's screaming after me, too. "Tara!" I can't take my eyes away from the glaring scorch mark on my dress. Some of the fabric of the bodice of my pretty silver dress ha

    It's after dark already, but I can't sleep. Jacob lay like a log of wood beside me, snoring softly. My back is to him and I've made sure a pillow separates the two of us in the wide bed. My heart is extremely fragile. It may be nothing, but I can't help the blaring feeling of dread inside me.What if I'm right to feel this way?I pinch my eyes closed at the thought, shaking my head slightly and rolling onto my back with my eyes facing the ceiling above. I refuse to think about it. But...I must consider the possibilities. After all, it already happened once.Jacob fucked me in our bed after having his shower. He wasn't gentle with me and his kisses were like I've always remembered; like he can't get enough. I could feel he loves me and no one else, like I am the only woman capable of bringing him peace and making him happy. My hand runs over my belly unconsciously. I'm all these things, yet I have caused his number one misfortune.A single tear drops and rolls down the side of my face,

  • Second Chance Luna   Chapter 3: Wounded By Love

    It's my worst nightmare. I can't believe he's standing there and treating me like I do not matter, and I don't understand why. We've been through a lot already. He's my alpha and he shouldn't be saying these things to me."What has the Night Valley pack done to deserve this, Jacob?" I ask, and he turns to leave, ignoring me. I don't let him get far. Jacob halts when my hands grab his ankle as I fall to the floor, begging for the life of my father and brother. Dante is my twin and I can't imagine my life without him in it. Jacob can't do this to me. Even if it means swallowing my pride as Luna, I will beg whoever I need to for this nightmare to end.I can feel his eyes on me, and I sob, lowering my gaze and pressing my head to his leg. "Please, reconsider. Don't take my family away from me. I'll do anything you want." He growls. "Get up!" But I can't. I need him to say he will discard his previous thoughts and stop the sound of war bells still sounding outside. Snot slips past my l

    I flee from the throne room as fast as I can. I can't imagine being in Jacob's presence. Last night was a lie. All the things he said to me were lies after he had warmed another woman's bed and got her pregnant. The pain in my chest is killing me. I want to claw my heart out. My feet lead me to the pack's inn. Sylvia is the only one I have at this moment. Everyone sees me as the devil. I bang on her door and notice the surprise on her face when she sees it's me, like a deer caught in headlights. Her bump is visible under the loose garment she put on. She quickly recovers and pulls me inside her room, locking the door behind her. Sylvia wipes my tears away, but they are dropping. There's nothing that can stop the hole drilling into my heart. "He betrayed me," I say, and she doesn't ask me how. In fact, she doesn't look shocked. It's funny how just last night she was assuring me otherwise. "Goodness, you knew!" I gasp slightly, feeling betrayal prick my heart like a sharp needle. "

    I had always been told how cunning witches could be, and not to trust them. Isador looks mischievous in her black flowing cape too. Even though I don't know what she would expect from me after helping me, I come to a conclusion that I have no other choice at this very moment. I also think of the fact that I would get two wishes when I actually came for just one. It was a win for me, really.It was already night time by now and the humid air caused my hair to stick to my face. I brushed them off.”Fine then. Let's get to it.” I say.Isador smiles at me. She looks like she could have been in her mid-years but the way she spoke and her voice said something different. So it was hard to really know.She guides me a little further into the forest until we stand before a dingy looking hut that stood on the stump of a tree, with a thatch roof and a wooden staircase leading to the front door.It was the perfect symbolism of a witch's hut. I had read of in old archives about witches, in my p

    NIKOLAITheir weapons are laced with wolf's bane and poisons of various calibres. We are outnumbered, and it's also impossible for us to win this war against Ander. My wolves are perishing all around me, and I feel helpless. Ander is on his horse wrecking havoc with the mighty scythe in his hand.I run for him, growling as my fangs gleam under the afternoon sun. He's about to hit one of my closest wolves from behind. I dive on his horse and throw him to the ground, cartwheeling and dodging the scythe's blade by a narrow miss.Ander roars, getting on his feet. It's between the both of us. I'm not armed, and I know I've got to be careful while going against that blade. Winter warned me about that, and I promised myself I would make it out alive.I charge at him, and he comes for me as well. We clash, baring our teeth. Our wolves around us are still going at each other. Still, it is clear that Ander is winning. He shoves me to the ground. I bring out my leg and swipe it across, making him

    DAPHNE Tears burn my throat. It didn't occur to me that he would actually find my replacement. I still loved him deeply, but I couldn't disobey my father. If he chose me now, I would have abandoned everything and saved him from this hell. But the man I love is interested in another woman. This must be my karma. I walk into the barren room where Tara has been kept inside. I know she's scared, but I'm so livid that I could pluck out her entire hair. How dare she steal what is mine? "Ander would love to hear you survived his trap. He would take your sorry ass back and punish you for life because that is what you deserve." Tara starts begging. She knows what it's like to be slaved under Alpha Ander. Not to mention being punished eternity by him. It's pure hell, and I want to laugh at the terrified look on her face. I do laugh. "What? Scared, are we? This is what you get for taking what's not yours." "I didn't know you and Hunter were an item. I met him by chance and he said nothin

    HUNTER I told her not to go. I told her I had to stay put right here inside the damned pack house, but she just won't listen. One thing I've learnt about Tara is that she's as pig headed as they come and can't take no for an answer. She literally dragged me out from the house to come and pick herbs in the woods. Her argument is that it's close by and we won't be gone for more than half an hour. It takes only a second for things to go epically wrong, but I don't know why I can't resist her anymore. When she speaks, she always finds a way to get to me, and she doesn't even do much. She only just has to say the word. I don't what to make of it, but I'm trying to school myself into making this the only time such would repeat itself again. Sure, she can pick her herbs for now, but next time, I won't consent to something as careless as this, leaving the pack house unguarded. She's in front of me, skipping happily into the woods. I'm always happy to see her smile. The sight of it just m

    WINTER I dread waking up to this morning because I know what it means for us. Nikolai wants us to do this. He wants us to pay Jacob a visit, but I don't think I'm ready. Jacob was the man who hurt me. Although he seems repentant, I still can't tell what his heart would be like. I'm stepping out of the bathroom when he meets me halfway. Nikolai hugs me. Last night brought us a lot closer intimately. I was so darn sure I would have his babies after that. He made sure of it. But then, would the curse of Rose find me now that I am Winter. Will I still not be able to have kids of my own? "Hey, babe." Nikolai calls me, resting his forehead against mine. "You look stressed. Don't be stressed." "You know why I'm stressed." "I'll be right there with you. You don't have to be scared because you have me protecting you always." He has a point. I know he will never abandon me. Nikolai loves me so much. He proved that last night, and I'm certain he will always have my back in everything. I do

    HUNTER I walk ahead as soon as I walk towards my room in the Alpha's home. She's right behind me in the next minute. I saw her hold back her words before Nikolai was out of respect. I knew the second she was in the clear, she was going to come at me with everything she's got. Funny enough, I'm anticipating it. I'm also anticipating seeing more of her in those pretty clothes. It's new for Tara. "Ever heard of give people their flowers, Hunter?" She crosses her arms as she falls in step with me. Nikolai and Winter have occupied the main stairs, so we are going all around to get to my room. Tara is just following me without a clue about where she's going. "That's the most senseless thing I've ever heard." She blocks my path, walking with her back when I don't stop coming forward. "Take that back." Tara slaps my chest. Coming from a werewolf, her hit does justice, and I almost break a wince. "I won't take it back, Tara. Because it's my opinion." "I found you empathetic at first
