Second Chance for Revenge: The Reborn Luna. CHAPTER ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTEEN
ORLAMy jaw nearly dropped to the floor. How could she have known about that? "What are you talking about?" I asked, just in case I was missing anything. Grasping at the hopes that maybe I was the one that misheard her words. "I'm talking about you being here once again. Your . . . Condition."I shook my head. No. She couldn't have known about it. I didn’t tell anyone! Not after what had happened with Ella. I'd learned the hard way what happens when one tries to defy the laws that governed such peculiarities. I didn’t have the strength to try it again. So how did she know?"You're wondering how I know, right? Well, let's just say that as witches, we're not so far removed from your Moon Goddess. Our mother, Hecate, from which all witches descended from, was also a lover of that big silver rock up in the sky."Being a witch goes far beyond being able to read fortunes and cast spells. It also means we can see things that are . . . different. Like let's say, people that carry a certain

ORLAThe wind kicked up around us as Daniel started to transform into a very large wolf. Fur sputed out from his skin, claws burst out from his hands, and his normal breathing was replaced by howls and growls. Bones snapped, flesh broke apart and then fused together in equal measure.With his transformation complete, he let out a roar as loud as a dozen trumpets.He didn't come for us immediately, but hung behind as the two rogues behind him leaped into action, howling and barking very much like their lupine subordinates.Makila cursed under her breath. "He's trying to distract us—wear us down for when he's ready to actually strike," she said, and slashed her arm through the air with a powerful swing.This created an outward, larger and stronger representation of the act, that came down like a guillotine upon the rogue closest to her. The ground shook from the impact of magic hitting flesh and I had to hold fast to keep my balance.I was about to attack the other rogue, hoping to quic

MAVERICKI howled from the bone shattering blow to my side. The pain moved like lightning from the point of contact, into my spine, and then into my brain. I'd never felt such a degree of pain in my life, and I had to admit that it made me stagger. To gain the upper hand in this fight, I had to be strategic. Daniel's wild fighting style had earned me a sick bite to the shoulder and now a giant wound by my side. Refusing to be rattled, I took in a deep breath and shifted out of the way assessing the wound to see how great it was. Red blood trailed down my side, wetting my fur and pressing the hairs flat against my body.I retreated, looking for one quick moment to catch my breath, but Daniel was having none of it. It was as though he wanted to keep hurling attacks at me until I was too bombarded to even fight back. He probably didn't think that I would catch on to his game so quickly.At least, Everett had shifted back to human form, and seemed to no longer be acting feral, but it di

MAVERICKTogether, we went in for the very fight of our lives. Sent forth by the moon and the stars, we went forth towards Daniel, ready to take him on and bring him to his knees.My mind drifted to my parents, who had been brutally murdered, and the rest of my pack members that had lost their own lives because of this man on this very day and days before. He had stolen people's lives from them all in his quest for power, and I wouldn't make the same mistake that Orla's father did. I wouldn't be letting him live.He swiped an arm at me with unbridled vigour, but instead of dodging, I rushed forward to meet it, and grabbed onto his forearm at the last moment. On the other side, Orla did the same, and in perfect synchronisation, we pulled him back together with the strength we carried.He didn't want to go down easy, and trashed against our hold wildly, crying out and making shrill noises like the true animal he had become. I doubted he could still comprehend his initial plans, because

ORLANaked. Bare. Exposed. That was my situation.I didn't mind it, though, because standing before me was the only man that would ever have this much access to me. The usual wave of shyness that I'd grown used to washed over me like a calm wave of ocean saltwater, triggering my racing heart and sending heat moving all over my skin. Thank the Goddess that it was mostly dark, or else certainly it would be so evident that my whole body was flushed.Maverick loomed over me in his hybrid form. A guardian. A companion. A lover. Everything that I needed and wanted.Daniel was dead, and there was no doubt about it. Most of the rogues had been killed, and those that managed to survive, had raced back to their distant domains when the hold of their master was vanquished.It was truly a time to celebrate, because no matter what else happened, I was sure that as long as we were all together, we wouldn't fall."What's going through your mind?" Maverick asked through out mind link. I didn’t fail

ORLAI was all shaking and wild with need by the time he placed me in his bed. Our bed.He'd rushed into the manor so fast that he barely gave anyone that greeted him a response. I still heard the snickers of his packmates as we passed by them.He shifted into his human form, showing me the beautiful chiselled face I'd fallen in love with. His full lips crashed into mine seconds after, taking mine with wild abandon. Our breaths mixed, so much that I was sure that we were now breathing the same air. His hand slipped between our bodies and found my secret spot again, only that this time, he didn't stop by teasing me. His finger found my little, never used opening, and gently caressed it. I bit my lower lip, trying to not pay too much attention to the mild discomfort I was feeling.When a finger entered me, I curled my feet and held onto him tightly, pressing my eyes shut. The finger had slid right in with little resistance, but I wasn't used to having anything in there. Slowly, he ro

ORLA5 WEEKS LATERI rolled underneath him, still desperate and needy for his touch. His fingers slid inside of me, fueling the flames that burned deep within my belly. The coil with me tightened, and I just knew that soon, I would be filled with a pleasure so sharp and powerful that it would practically turn me to perfect mush. "Maverick . . ." I panted, bringing my hands up to my breasts and caressing my nipples for the added sensation. I kept perfect eye contact with him, because it somehow made the whole experience hotter.He pumped into me hard and fast, struggling with his own self control as he held onto my calves, almost bringing my knees down to the bed."I love you, Orla," he said with one final push against my soft spot.He burst, unleashing his warm seed inside of me as I clamped down on his rod, literally milking him of all that he had. "At this rate, you'll get me pregnant," I told him, still struggling for breath."What if I do want to get you pregnant?" he asked with

AUTHOR'S POVA YEAR LATERThe sharp taste of the alcohol washed down his throat and burned him as it moved, before settling in his stomach. He took another swig from the brown bottle, and cursed his luck.Soon, the bar would close down, and he would have to find somewhere new to drown his sorrows and rest his head. Or maybe he would just sleep outside the bar until morning came again and they started letting people in, although he feared that it would only make him very conspicuous, and he was trying his very best to avoid that.The bar was home to a lot of supernatural creatures, and most of them that passed by him would usually shake their heads in disdain and whisper to themselves about how he must have been a broken man with nothing to live for. He didn't blame them though, their words weren't so far from the truth.He had lost his mate, Ophelia. He had lost his father, Daniel. He had lost the right to belong to the pack. In reality, he has lost everything. He was basically a lone

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

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
