Second Chance for Revenge: The Reborn Luna. CHAPTER SEVENTY ONE
AUTHOR'S POVELLAAs the two men dragged Alec into the side entrance of the manor, Ella couldn't help but wonder how and why Daniel, Ryker's father that had been believed to be dead for years, returned with this malicious intent and power. Of course, she knew since the time she got kidnapped, that there were higher forces working in the background, watching and waiting for the time where they would finally be able to stand unopposed.It just made her worry even more.She clenched her fists and took a deep breath, telling herself to calm down and focus on the work she had to do. The two large men had taken Alec inside, and closed the door behind them, but before it could completely click shut, she dashed forward and used her foot to stop it.One thing that gave her a little confidence concerning this was the fact that the two men seemed oblivious that they were being followed. They didn't seem so smart either.Maybe she'd be able to take them without issue after all.After listening an

ORLABLACKWOOD MANOR, MAIN BUILDINGAfter the whole fight had settled, Daniel, Ryker, and Makila left the rest of us in the room, while they went outside to discuss matters they didn't want us to hear. In their place to watch over us were two large men at the entrance that looked no different from pure animals with the way their bodies were hairy.I ran my hand over Maverick's back, still trying to get him to calm down. I wasn't sure what fully happened to him during the course of the whole event, but after he stopped trying to intercept the exchange between Makila and his friend, he fell into a sort of . . . panic. Wheezing and grasping my arm so tightly that I could feel his claws straining to get free.Everett appeared by his side in a flash, speaking calmly to him and trying as well to hide his worry."What's wrong with him?" I asked, at a loss for what to do. I fumbled with my hands.Everett glared at me, and for a moment I thought he wouldn't respond, until he sighed and his sho

ORLAI could taste the power running through my veins. I could feel the blood pumping from my heart and into every crevice of my body. The power within me surged and reached a new height that I didn’t even think should have been possible.And the best of it all was that Eva was here to share it with me. I felt her once again, and it was then that I finally understood just how hollow I had been without her by my side.Along with her presence, came a new, strong feeling that unfurled within me like a blooming flower. It tugged me from deep within . . . Pulling me in the direction of the man on the floor who stared at me like I was the only thing that mattered in his world.Just him and I.Just us.Ophelia screeched with a mighty terrible sound, spurring the guards stationed by the exits into action. She pointed at me, with eyes still wide open with undisguised fear. "Take her away from here, now! Take her!"She started moving away from me, paying no attention to Everett who had statione

MAVERICKIt started as a little fire on the inside of me, and then it started to burn higher and brighter than it had ever done before. I knew deep in my heart what it was, but I needed to be sure that Orla could feel it too.When her eyes locked with mine in that split moment before she unleashed her powers, I saw it all. The need. The want. The attraction. Everything that she had been trying so hard to keep away, to hide and lock away in the deepest recesses of her heart finally came into the light in that little moment.I knew without a doubt now, that there was no way that she didn't feel that what I had confessed the other day in that cell was true. That she was my mate.That I was hers.Even now, as she stood taller than I'd ever seen her, covered in sharp silver hair so bright it was almost white, the pull that always led me to her was as strong as ever.No. It was even stronger. Like the burning of a sun raged on the inside of my abdomen.My wolf, Conri, would not stay still.

AUTHOR'S POVMAKILA AND MARC"Why doesn't your father like me?" Makila asked one day while she and Marc were out alone. They had decided to visit the quiet cove where they had first met. The cold air seeped into her clothes, and she snuggled closer to mark on the flat big rock they sat on.Marc wrapped his arm around her, lending her some of his heat. His brows furrowed slightly as he pondered on her question."He still believes that all witches are evil. You don't need to worry about it though, he'll come around eventually.""How long is 'eventually' going to take?" Makila huffed. "With each and every day that passes, his hatred seems to grow more and more . . . It scares me." She locked eyes with her lover so that he could see just how deep her fear ran.In truth, Makila wasn't very scared about what his father would or wouldn't do to her because of his hatred, her real fear was what it would do to Marc. She knew quite well that Marc would do anything for her, even if it meant goin

ORLABLACKWOOD MANORFor the first time since all this evil came upon Saint Terrir, I'd never for once seen Makila look powerless. Not from the time that she pretended to be my Shadow, or the time that she unleashed her true self and showed me—all of us—that she was just a witch out for vengeance.As she gasped for air on the ground, I was tempted to walk over to her form and taunt her, but I remained rooted to where I stood.Another thing I'd noticed was also the very convenient absence of Ryker and Ophelia. I didn’t even know when the latter had escaped.But it didn't matter right now, because they could be dealt with later. Much later.Ryker's father mumbled something as he pushed himself up to his feet. When he saw Makila’s struggling form, his face contorted into something ugly and enraged."Fools! All of you! I'm here to bring to this land, unprecedented glory, and you are all running everything! Everything!" He shouted so hard that the veins on his neck popped out and his eyes

ORLAA WEEK LATERWe were back to square one. No evidence to show for all the hell we'd been through in the last few weeks. Ryker, Ophelia, Makila, and Daniel had all gone missing, and there had been no news concerning their whereabouts.I'd returned to the Darke family house only to find out that Ophelia had buffed up the security while I was gone. Somehow, she had been feeding my parents wrong information about what had been going on, and so they weren’t even aware that their child had almost been killed and that their pack had nearly been under siege.Although search parties were deep into the investigations surrounding the disappearance of the perpetrators, there was still this heavy sense of tension and and sat over our heads, waiting for the day that it would inexplicably burst and consume us all.Aside from that, there were other issues that still hadn't been sorted out, like what the mate bond between Maverick and I meant. It grated on my nerves that being close to him was no

Logan, slightly irritated by the receptionist's rude demeanor, moved to where she had instructed him to stand. He cleared his throat and asked politely, "May I speak with someone now?"The receptionist glanced at him, her impatience evident. "Hurry up. We don't typically attend to your type of people here."Logan, unfazed by her condescension, began to explain, "I understand, but I recently received notice of a property award, and I'm just looking for some clarification about its location and authenticity."Before he could finish his sentence, one of the receptionist's colleagues approached her and started discussing something urgently. They exchanged words, but it was clear they were ignoring Logan's presence. Annoyed, Logan interrupted, "Excuse me, I'm talking to you. Could you please check?"The colleague looked at Logan, baffled, and asked the receptionist, "What's the problem?"The receptionist sighed and referred to Logan dismissively, "This young man here wants something."Loga

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
