Second Chance for Revenge: The Reborn Luna. CHAPTER FIFTY TWO
ORLAI squinted as I tried to make sense of where I was. My cheek was pressed against a cold surface, and it was the same for other parts of my body. There was no lighting in the place, so I spent a long time trying to think about where or when I was. I also noticed that my whole body felt very weak, which was probably because I got stabbed with a silver knife. Luckily for me though, when I touched my stomach underneath my shirt, it was dry, athough a bit sensitive. The wound had closed, but hadn’t healed completely.I got up to my knees, and tried to feel around for something—anything that could have given me a clue about where I was, but I found nothing. I couldn't even sense Eva. It was like she wasn't even with me at all. I tried to pull on the bond keeping us together, but it was untouchable. I couldn't feel a thing. It was at this point that panic started to sink in at some point. If I couldn't feel my wolf, then what would I do?In my restlessness, it came to my notice that the

AUTHOR'S POVTHREE DAYS LATERSaint Terrir had been in a strange kind of limbo since the disappearance of two prominent individuals in the werewolf community. Ella, after the events that occurred, closed down the clothing shop, and went against her parents orders to stay home. To her, finding her friend was more important than her own safety. She went to see the one person she could turn to at this point—Alec.Somehow, the budding mate bond between the two of them made her keenly aware of his presence, and it didn't take long before he found her at the shabby apartment she'd gone to stay for the past few days.He looked around the place, disturbed that his mate had to stay somewhere like this. "Why did you leave home?"Ella sighed and scratched her hair. The usual bright green of her hair had faded to a lighter color that had the twinge of yellow. "I couldn't stay there. Everyone kept fussing over me, as though I didn't just lose my friend. I've tried for so long to find her on my ow

ORLAI'd seen the sun rise and fall five times through the little window of our cell.Every evening, Maverick and I were given two plates of food each every day. At first, I'd been skeptical about the food, because I feared that it would have been laced with something, but I really had no choice as the days went on. It was better to have something in my stomach, than to be weak and sickly when they finally came for us.Maverick had regained most of his strength by now, but had become very much subdued and sad. I had to force him more than once to actually eat, because if he had his way, he would have chosen death. His pride kept him from receiving help from his captors."You can't afford to keep doing this, Maverick," I said to him when he refused yet again to eat.I looked at the meager meal that was left for us, and my stomach growled. I hadn't eaten in a while, since I had been trying to keep my intake low to stave off the effects of anything the food might have been laced with, a

AUTHOR'S POVThe blood red moon cast a sweet glow on the grass. Makila stepped out of her apartment, and set out on a new target. Since Daniel's plans had gone the way he wanted, he should have been able to cut her some slack.She didn't plan on feeding on anyone, but rather, simply wanted to get a little bit of fresh air so that she could clear her head.It had taken her so much self control to not kill the Blackwood the moment she had set her eyes on him. For years, dhe searched and searched for the missing piece to her retribution, to the thing that would allow her to move on with her life: wiping out the Blackwood clan!They separated her from her true lover, who was the best thing that had ever happened to her. They poisoned him back then, and simply watched him die. She didn’t feel remorse when she slashed their throats in retaliation, and left them to die as well.Her lover had been eveything she had and cherished deeply. In fact, he was the one that made my life worth living a

AUTHOR'S POVBack at the place where she lived, Makila stormed into her room and uncovered her scrying ball that she usually kept under her bed covers. She slipped off her shoes, undid her braid, and untied the scarf around her neck before hopping onto her bed.To scry, she simply needed to have a clear image of the person she wanted to see, and luckily for her, Marc's face was forever etched into her undying memory.The young man lay sleeping in his tiny room, oblivious to the fact that he was being watched.Her thoughts raced one after the other in her head too fast for her to even comprehend. She had come here seeking answers, but now she found herself questioning her motives.Why was she so drawn to this young man? Why did she feel such a connection to him? Was it merely because of his resemblance to Marc, or was there something more?She took a deep breath, willing herself to calm her racing heart. She needed to focus, to remember why she was watching him though the glass ball. Sh

AUTHOR'S POVA man named Fred stepped out into the darkening evening. Grass crunched underneath his slippers as he walked. He pulled out a cigarette and brought it to his lips, taking a deep inhale.He blowed out smoke. "Ah, what a good evening." He'd been hearing news about the new clan leader's disappearance. What a pleasnat surprise. He had always known that the young lass wouldn't be able to handle the stress of such a demanding position. Now she had gone and run away.A complete joke.He's already told his children to get ready for when the elders of the clan would search for a replacement. Leaving the seat empty for too long would spell anarchy for the clan.As he enjoyed his leisure hour, he sensed someone approaching. Immediately, he raised his guard up.Daniel stepped down from a sleek back car. Makila followed closely behind him, with her nose held high like she owned the place.Fred thought that the woman was beautiful. In fact, he paid more attention to her than the tall ma

ORLA Makila had come the day before to take Maverick away. She treated him like he was nothing but a dog, wrapping chains around his neck and dragging him along with her. I tried to hold her off, but there was little I could do without my wolf. I needed her desperately, and I had no idea what had happened to her. Everything kept going from bad to worse and the initial hope I'd held for the future had started to dim into a distant light. I was pondering what to do, and how to make things even remotely better when Makila barged into my cell. "You, come outside. You're finally needed." She pointed a darkly manicured finger at me. Eager to see Maverick, I agreed without question. Since I'd been in the cell, I had no idea how we had come to be in such a dark place, but I had reasons to believe that we were somewhere really down below, because of the way the air carried sound. Everything echoed. Even the littlest footstep reverberated like a thousand drums. The cold metal manacles arou

ORLAAfter watching the strange, awkward reunion between Ryker and his father, they completely ignored me and started to discuss their plans for domination. I wished I didn't have to listen, because a lot of the things Daniel mentioned were so gruesome that I didn’t need to think too far about why he had been away for so long.Even though it was risky, I needed them to remember for a moment that I was in their midst."Where's Maverick?"Makila sighed. "Will you stop asking about him? He's not dead if that's what you want to know.""I want to see him. Why should I take a liar's word for it?"She got up from her seat. "Fine, you want to see him? Then you'll see him." She pulled out her phone and dialled a number. After a little while, when whoever she was calling picked up, she gave me a direct stare and spoke."Bring him here. Now," she said, before ending the call. "He'll be here soon, and then you can hold hands and mourn together.""I swear if you've done anything to him—""Oh shut u

Second Chance for Revenge: The Reborn Luna. EPILOGUE
AUTHOR'S POVA YEAR LATERThe usual belief about life is that a person only lives once. For Orla, though, that wasn't the case. From being mistreated, abused, and ultimately killed in her previous life, she awakened to find herself given another chance to make things right. A chance to fix the wrongs that led to her unfortunate demise. A chance to build that which she should have lost.Another chance . . . to find love.+_+_+Orla bent down, crouching as far as she could go to pat the last heap of rich brown earth into place. She'd always wanted to try gardening since she was a child, and now she had finally made that dream come true.She sighed contentedly, and sat back on her haunches, looking up at the sky whilst wiping off her sweaty forehead with the back of her hand. Although it was still quite chilly, and the ice hadn't completely thawed, strenuous physical activity could still make a person feel like they were stuck inside a furnace.The advice Alec had given her was to plant

ORLAIt felt like an eternity. The darkness. It had neither a beginning or an end. It took me—grabbed me in a suffocating hug and refused to let me go.At some point—I didn't know how long it took, but it came to my understanding that the darkness was of my own making, and only I could free myself from its clutches.So, I opened my eyes, and welcomed the light back in.The first thing I saw was a face. One too familiar, and at the same time, dreadfully disturbing.Blood seeped out of his nose, ears and mouth and dripped on my shirt. His eyes had gone blank, with its usual icy colour sucked into the cold emptiness of death.Ryker was dead.I pulled my hand out of his neck, unable to ignore the feeling of gore and slippery blood. His weight had become suffocating since life no longer flowed through his veins.I pushed his corpse off me, and sat up with a groan. The wound in my chest was still struggling to knit itself back together, but with the bullet still lodged inside of me, it wou

ORLAA gun. That was what he had been holding. I'd failed to recognise the hidden shape in his hand on time. I had been too occupied with other things to think about the fact that he'd probably had a plan B.He fired three rounds without pausing.I only had milliseconds to respond, but I wasn't fast enough. He'd surprised me, and I had to deal with the consequences.Cold descended on me as I realised that I had indeed acted too irrationally. Searing pain bloomed in the left side of my chest, and another in my thigh. The last one grazed my cheekbone, and that was only because I pushed my head to the side just before the bully made impact with my flesh.Blood rapidly started to pool in my mouth, filling up my throat until air couldn't pass through and I had to spit it out before it choked me.I fell on my good leg, clutching my bleeding chest.I hadn't foreseen this. I'd been so eager to get him that I had forgotten how cunning he could be. There was no way he would have just been here

ORLA'Don't think. Don't feel. Just act.'Those were the words ringing in my head as I swung the wooden log into the side of Sonja's head with every power that my body could muster, bursting it open like a balloon. Blood splattered all over my clothes, but I didn't matter. I had killed her. She was dead, and she would never, ever hurt my family again.I had made a promise to go as low as killing just to save my child, and I was glad that I hadn't hesitated when it mattered the most. Although it was a flimsy defence, I had no other option. She had raised her knife to stab Amaranthine, and Maverick was too far away to get anything done.Makila had spotted her and her counterpart from a distance, and was able to perform a spell that teleported us right behind them. We'd also seen the vampires that seemed to also be trying to help her, and decided that it was best to stay out of their line of sight.Sonja's body went limp, and her remaining eye remained wide in horror and shock. She mus

MAVERICKWe followed the trail judiciously, paying attention to the location the trackers had presented us with. We'd gone by car to eat up the most of the distance, but since the trail eventually led into a dense, seemingly unused path, we had to turn to out feet for transport.Under the guidance of the moon, we pressed on, too determined to even stop for a moment to speak to each other. I took mental note of the people with me, and found myself grateful for having such wonderful packmates that were willing to do this with me. Of course, the years had strengthened our bond, but I still was baffled sometimes by their immense loyalty and dedication to me. Amaranthine's kidnapping had been a huge blow to the pack, but it didn't change the fact that she was my daughter, and most of the pressure to find her fell on Orla and I, but they all took the issue and placed it on their shoulders as well, making the weight a little bit easier for me to hear.We kept walking, keeping caution close

ORLANight came, and all our hearts were ready and prepared for what was to come.I stood in the bathroom, staring at my reflection for the second time in six four hours. The time was already a couple of minutes past seven, and as Maverick had told us, it was go time.Everyone else had gotten ready, and those that were at the first part of the plan had left a little while ago. Tim, Everett, Blair, and Avery had gone with Maverick, following the coordinates given on Everett's tracker. From what we'd seen, Ryker and his witch friends hadn't left their positions since the time we had deliberated on the plan. The plan was quite straightforward. Maverick would go with his people to scout the area and then proceed to lure the witches and Ryker out. Again, I had been thinking that I had been sidelined from the plan itself, until Maverick told me that I would go in with Makila to get Amaranthine. Makila's presence couldn't be downplayed simply because she was the only one with prior knowled
Second Chance for Revenge: The Reborn Luna. CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND THIRTY FIVE
ORLAI was sick and tired of waiting for things to happen. The day after my last discussion with Maverick, I'd been unable to rest my jittery nerves. Every second, minute or hour physically disturbed me. I wanted my child. I needed her back in my arms.The fact that I had no idea what they could have been doing to her made me panic even more. What if they were abusing her? Or casting marks on her smooth skin just to cause her pain? What if they were starving her, and watching as life slowly seeped out of her little body?I had to hold on to the hope that she still lived. I couldn't think about anything else.Maverick had called for a compulsory meeting, and as much as I wanted to keep avoiding him, I couldn't turn away when my child came into the picture.The noon was blazing hot, so I already dressed in a black tank top and some denim shorts, baring the skin of my arms and legs. In this, the mark Maverick had branded me with was on full display—an oddly symmetrical line of five dots

ORLA"She's waking up," someone whispered. My eyes couldn't fathom anything but darkness. My mouth felt like something was keeping it from opening, and pain spread at different points of my body, like I'd been run over by something.I opened my mouth to speak, and only a groan could find freedom."Shhh, don't talk. You might hurt yourself."'I already feel hurt,' I wanted to say, but speaking still seemed like a hassle to me. I reached out blindly, and warmth came to my hand. A familiar touch. "It's okay now, you're safe."With a painful flash, the memories of what I'd gone through previously ran through my mind. Makila yelled at me to go.Getting attacked by a woman.Ryker threatening Amaranthine's life.Just like that, my eyes flew open, and a scream finally came out of my throat, wrapped in somebody's name. "Ryker! He has Amaranthine!" I shouted despite my sore throat. Maverick came to my side, rubbing my back and softly whispering, "We know."I looked up at him, recalling my

ORLAIt couldn't be though, that witch was dead. Even if she had escaped death before, it couldn't be possible that she happened to resurrect again . . . Right?The woman before me laughed softly. "Why are you looking at me like that? Does my face ring a bell in your head?""Where is my daughter?" I asked, deciding to go straight to the point. There was nothing worth more than her safety right now. Not even my own curiosity.She frowned playfully. "Your daughter? Hmm." She lazily patted a finger against her chin. "Probably dead by now."Another thing that I found different about her was her behaviour. Sonia had been incredibly loyal to Daniel, and hardly spoke unless it was so say something that showed that. This one had a lighter disposition.The woman didn't even seem bothered at the sound of those approaching. If anything, she seemed to get even bolder. "And what's that I hear? You brought backup?"I looked down at Makila, who still sat behind the shrub, pressing the bottom of her
