Second Chance Luna Chapter 36: Brewing Storm
HUNTER'S POVI am taken aback by the way he suddenly pounce on me with his thick and domineering voice. I never expect to see someone of his class and caliber pay a visit so early in the morning when I'm still trying to settle down into work. I stare around with a confused grimace, perhaps he has come in search of someone else and I am here thinking it is me. I get the affirmation I need when he walks up to me with a frown on his face.I greet, a little nervous to see him. "Good morning sir, what brings you here," I Mutter and then I go mute while waiting for him to speak. I do not know what to say so I decide that it's best I leave him to do the talking while I listen to whatever it is he wants to talk about.I am taken aback by the response he shoots at me and I try to believe he said that but then he gives me not even the slightest chance to understand him. The next thing is him yelling at me like I am done two year old child or as if he feeds me. I become so furious and can hardl
Second Chance Luna Chapter 37: The Strange Bells
WINTER'S POV. I spy Nikolai from the corner of my eyes and excitement washes through my skin. I find myself smiling like a lovesick teenager. I’m aware of my being lovesick but I need to stop behaving like a teenager around this man. My excitement fades and is immediately replaced by worry and confusion when I see the look of Nikolai’s face. I put down everything in my hand and sauntered off to where he stood without thinking. I could feel the other workers' long and hateful stares but I couldn’t care less. “Nikolai? Is anything the matter?” I ask when I reach him He’s not giving me an answer, he’s just staring at me and making me even more worried than I already am. “Say something Nikolai!” I persist impatiently. Does this have anything to do with what I said the last time we saw each other? No, it can’t be, it looks more serious than that. He just continues to stare at me like he’s trying to see through me. I lower him to a wooden bench close to the wall and sit next to him.
Second Chance Luna Chapter 38: The Strange Bells II
NIKOLAI'S POV. I walk in on my father grinning to himself and rubbing his palms against each other in a slow, weird way. I wonder what kind of mischief he’s up to this time but I don’t care enough to ask him. “Good morning father.” I say casually as I walked past him but he doesn’t respond. He’s too engrossed in his own thoughts. Does this have anything to do with the walk he took around the clan yesterday? This man has me really curious. “Good morning father.” I repeat, louder. Loud enough for him to snap out of his thoughts and flinch. “”What?!” he half-yells at me and my face knots in a frown. “I said Good morning.” I answer and watch him watch me. “Good morning to you too Nikolai. Now please, if you’ll excuse me?” He mutters quickly under his breath and stands up from where he’s seated. I narrow my eyes at him. He can’t be up to any good. “Father?” he reluctantly turns to look at me. “Yes, son.” He answers with a plastic smile that stretches so wide, it almost reaches h
Second Chance Luna Chapter 39: The Strange Bells III
NIKOLAI'S POV. “What do you think you’re doing?!” I yell at both of them and they flinch at the sound of my voice. “Nikolai, I was about to go see you too.” She says and walk towards me in a haste. Her eyes look puffy. “It doesn’t look like it, Winter. I don’t think you were about to go see me. I think you’re right where you want to be in, in his arms.” She turns to look at me confused like I didn’t just catch her hugging Hunter. “What’s that supposed to mean, Nikolai? Hunter is my friend and you know it!” she’s yelling on top of her voice but I can barely hear her over the sound of my heart beating fast and loud. I feel like it’s going to burst out of my rib cage in a matter of seconds. “Do I? Do I, Winter? Do you hug all your friends the way you just hugged him?” I sneer at Winter and Hunter opened his mouth to say something In her defence but I glared at him and he kept quiet immediately. I know I should have killed him when I had the chance. “Nikolai I don’t understand why
Second Chance Luna Chapter 40: Touch The Girl And You Die
PATRICK'S POV. Asking the guards to fetch the slave girl is a very rash decision on my path but I can’t waste any more time on the matter. Nikolai dating a slave right under my nose is embarrassing enough, I can’t have them embarrass me even further. I had no idea she was a slave, even I was attracted to her, I can’t blame Nikolai for his mistake. The girl must be some sort of witch, inviting powerful men to her life with her eyes. I’m going to get rid of her before she does any harm to this kingdom but I have to do it subtly. Nikolai is my son but he’s also someone you wouldn’t wish to have as an enemy. As an ally, he’s the best but as an enemy, you’ll be sorry. I’m positive Nikolai will accompany her here and I’ll act normal and demand an explanation. The less he knows about my plans, the better. The ceremony is only a day away, I could use it as a decoy. WINTER'S POV. The look on Nikolai's face makes me wish I had told him earlier. I had no idea, a problem like this would
Second Chance Luna Chapter 41: Our Last Kiss
PATRICK'S POV. Just as I predicted, Nikolai is here with the maiden, glaring at me like we’re no longer father and son but mortal enemies. “Where are my guards?” I ask half-heartedly. I won’t be perturbed if none of them survived, they’ve fought side by side with Nikolai at wars and take overs. If not them, who should be able to attest to his ruthlessness, they should have known stealing a woman from him, especially one he’s infatuated with, was a suicide mission. “I’m sure you didn’t expect them to come back alive so why bother asking?” He’s clutching tightly to her hand like she’s going to run away any second which makes me more interested than I should be in her. How far would he go for this woman? I’m curious. “You're right, I didn’t.” I say without a flicker of emotion in my voice. I see Winter shift uncomfortably, she must be disturbed by how little the lives of those guards mean to us and its only right that she is but I still consider it weakness. “Why did you send them?”
Second Chance Luna Chapter 42: The Mate-Picking Ceremony
NIKOLAI'S POV.What was I thinking? My father was right. My feelings don’t come first. Today is the mate-picking ceremony and if I refuse to pick a mate, I’ll loose the trust and support of the pack. I’ll loose everything that I’ve worked for my entire life.I tried everything I could. I even tried to speak with the elders but it was of no use, there’s nothing they can do about it. My father has announced that Winter will be mated to him in a few days and he’s taken custody of her. The worst part of this all is that I can’t do anything about it, for now at least. I couldn’t bear to look at Winter when the guards came to take her away from me. I’d have killed them but it won’t have solved anything. I knew at the back of my mind that I was going to have to give up Winter before I could do anything. I wish I’d told her so she could be mentally prepared for it but I couldn’t bring myself to do it. She looked like she was expecting it too, she was composed when the guards came for, she d
Second Chance Luna Chapter 43: Am I Going To Die?
WINTER'S POV. Having fell into a dreamless sleep, I awoke feeling even more hunger than I felt before. Do they intend to starve me to death? I would pace around the room in agitation but I have not the strength to as much as stand. My stomach grumbles even louder and tears pool in my eyes, I don’t know if I’m crying because I’m hungry or because I’m heartbroken and my life is a mess. I take another look around the room. The curtains are shabby and old, they look like they’ve been around for at least a thousand years. The paint on the wall is starting to peel off the and ceiling looks saggy and moldy, like its going to fall off anytime soon, I think I see traces of white paint but I can’t really tell. The sheets on the bed is dirty and reeks of smoke that I wonder if the room has ever been on fire before. I wonder how I even fell asleep on it? What if the last person that was here died in a fire? No, no. I need to get these ridiculous thoughts out of my head before I snap. I se

Second Chance Luna Chapter 168: Happily Ever After
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 167: Reversing It All
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
Second Chance Luna Chapter 166: The Final Battle
WINTERSix Months Later...It's been six months since Daphne and her father tried to destroy us. Six months since we've heard anything about her whereabouts. Life seemed to go on in contast paranoia that they would be back, especially for Nikolai. I'm almost due. My bump is large, like someone trapped a volleyball inside there. The pack doctor examines me. He says I keep getting weaker and weaker. I've told no one about the conversation Isador and I had the night of Hunter and Tara's big escape. But I know why I'm being diagnosed as weak. I have little time left with my son and mate. It's breaking my heart.I know Elkan didn't survive his brothers wrath. Killian killed him and his triplets before Hunter could make do with his promise. It's beating him up, but he doesn't show it. The fact that he failed those innocent children. It only means one thing, though. Killian owes use all a life, and he will pay up when the time comes.The pack doctor shakes his head. "Your temperature and bl
Second Chance Luna Chapter 165: The Enemies Fall From Within
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
Second Chance Luna Chapter 164: Miracle Baby
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
Second Chance Luna Chapter 163: First Signs of War
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
Second Chance Luna Chapter 162: Knowing The Enemy
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
Second Chance Luna Chapter 161: Captured By The Persistent Witch
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
Second Chance Luna Chapter 160: Falling Hard and Fast
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
