Second Chance Luna Chapter 71: An Eye Opener
NIKOLAI.“How was your walk with Jacob?” Winter asks and I smile at her.“It was eye-opening.” I tell her and watch her brows crease together.“Whatever do you mean?” She asks and I notice the ease with she talks now. Aunt Hyacinth must have taken good care of her and the doctor was right, she just needed rest. She probably hasn’t full adopted to this place yet.“I mean we discussed a lot of things. Politics and the likes of it.” I mutter casually and shrug. I’m trying to put an end to this topic but it’s only making her even more interested.“Care to share some details?” she says sweetly and I’m almost tempted to spill all the details of my conversation with Jacob but I don’t.“I would but I ache everywhere, it’s been ages since I went anywhere on my feet. And you need to rest.” I change into a more comfortable cloth and climb unto the bed next to her. She pouts and moves closer to me on the bed. She’s never done it before, she’s so close I want punch her in the lips. . .with my lip
Second Chance Luna Chapter 72: Witch Hunt
WINTER.The concept of day and night fascinates me. It’s a miracle how it was dark a few hours ago and now the sky is purging light the next hour.Nikolai spent the night in the office, I know because I was up all night. He didn’t even come back once to check on me. I put my feet on the ground and take long strides towards the dressing table to take a look at myself in the mirror. My hair is a complete mess.It’s the third time he’s doing this, spending the night in the office, going out in the morning and coming back late at night, only to sleep in the office again. He says he’s busy but its starting to seem like he’s avoiding me.I run my fingers through my hair, who wouldn’t avoid this? I look like an electrocuted porcupine but I feel even worse.I don’t know what I’m supposed to do around here. Nikolai is not saying anything about our mating ceremony and I can’t play the ro
Second Chance Luna Chapter 73: The Heart Or The Brain?
PRIEST'S POVThe slaves are being freed as planned and I feel terribly uneasy. It’s like watching all my horses go all at once. How am I supposed to lift heavy items without horsepower?What the hell has possessed Nikolai? He enslaved most of the people here and now he just wants to let them go?I walk towards him, he’s barely acknowledged me since he got here. Just a few non committal nods and a quick eye contact. I was standing next to him and he still doesn’t spare me another glance. “Are you sure about this?” I ask and he ignores me. His silence is infuriating but there’s nothing I can do about it so I just continue.“What if the slaves try to get back us?” I persist and he finally casts me a glance. Not a good one, it’s more like a glare than a glance. “Then you should be prepared.” He says coldly and walks past me. What is his problem? Why is he so grumpy? Maybe there’s trouble in paradise. It’s not even been three months yet. They’re not even officially mated. He’s right t
Second Chance Luna Chapter 74: A Temptation I Can Resist
“What are you doing here?” Nikolai asks creasing his brows together in suspicion. He knows I wasn’t invited but I also know he’s not going to kick me out. “I couldn’t resist attending a party thrown by the king.” I tell him and he snorts. “It’s not a party, it’s a feast and since when can you not refuse parties? You didn’t show up for the auction.” He shoots accusingly and I press my lips into a thin line.“I said parties not a gathering where rich cocky people come to flaunt their money.” He smiles and taps me on the shoulder before walking past me. I see him grab a cocktail before disappearing into the crowd. He looks calmer than I expected. This place is packed but it’s hard to tell because of how big it is. I almost forgot how many slaves exist in this kingdom. There’s thousands. The palace staff are going to have their hands full today. I don’t see the red eyed woman anywhere. I bet she’s in the kitchen yelling at all the maids. I’m tempted to find my way there to go and he
Second Chance Luna Chapter 75: Anything
WINTER I don’t know how I did it but I managed to convince tens of hundreds of people to stick with the person who enslaved them. I must have some kind of superpower or something. Nikolai is smiling at me proudly. "You're going to be the best Luna this pack ever had." He whispers behind my ears and I feel my legs turning into jelly This man will be the end of me. "And you're the best Alpha they've ever had." The feast continues and Nikolai assures them to eat to their fill. Some of them are still glaring at him and I'm sure the hate they've harboured for him all these years is not just going to disappear. Nikolai is going to have to earn their favor and I'm going to be there with him every step of the way. "You look happier, compared to the last time we saw you." I recognise that voice which is why I want to keep my head still and walk away but I won't do that. I can't."I am. I'm glad you noticed." I turn to face three brunettes all glaring at me. I don't know if its the colo
Second Chance Luna Chapter 76: My New Normal
WINTER.When she is done crying her eyes out, I wipe her face and tell her that it’s okay but I realize that I don’t even know her name is and I certainly don’t know what to do to make it okay. “I don’t have a place to stay.” She suddenly says and I don’t know what to tell her. I don’t know what plans Nikolai has install for them and I don’t want to raise her hopes. “It’s okay.” I say again. “You don’t have to stay!” Nikolai yells suddenly and everyone turns to face him. What the hell is he saying.“Is he asking us go leave?” one of them asks and I wish I had an answer. I have no idea what he’s saying. I’m about to ask what he means when an angry old lady beats me to it. “I want you to be free.” Nikolai answers her and I think I’m even more confused. What does he mean by he wants them to be free? He already freed them. When the old lady starts to speak, what Nikolai meant starts to become clearer. He thinks he’s making them stay. Little does he know that he lost the power to in
Second Chance Luna Chapter 77: Unintelligent Opinions
NIKOLAI. I brought the letter to the attention of the elders and they all have nothing useful to say. The only interesting thing about the meeting is that Donovan is back. Funny how he came back the same time as the letter. Only proves my point that the man is bad news. “What do we about this?” I ask again and they just continue to stare.“Why do you lots never seem to have opinions? Every time I call a meeting, it feels more like I’m giving a speech because I tend to be the only one that actually has something to say.”“Maybe we’re afraid you won’t listen to them.” Donovan says and I suddenly start to crave his absence. He’s not back the same way he left, he has this glow to him that I’m not sure I can attribute to love. Donovan doesn’t look like the kind to let his feelings for someone to be so outspoken. “Try me. Give me your opinion.” I tell him and he smiles. It’s the first time I’ve ever seen him smile. It looks creepy.I like his face better when he’s not smiling. “I think
Second Chance Luna Chapter 78: An Emotional Maze
WINTER.“Are you okay?” “Of course, I am. You don’t need to worry about me, you have a war to prepare for.” Nikolai looks me up and down and kisses the top of my head before returning to his office. He’s not even mentioning the wedding and it hurts. It really hurts.I work my way to the back of the house and I hear a female voice or a male voice, I can’t tell. We don’t usually have maids at this part of the house so who is out there?“Who is there?” I call out cautiously. I’ve been learning a little self defense during my spare time but I don’t even know who I’m up against and with my skills, I’m sure six toddlers can take me up. The guards put a lot of effort into teaching me but I’m just un-teachable and my bones are like butter. I take two steps forward but I don’t see anyone, I’m sure I heard a voice. I’m looking behind me every three seconds because I don’t want anyone to sneak up on me. I’m barely any good when I’m ready, when I’m not interested practically dead meet. With th

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
