The Lunas Second Chance Mate #Chapter 37 – Cell Days
Olivera At least my barracks were clean. These are filthy, under the palace floors where I can hear every royal heel walk across the tiles above. It's consistently aggravating and undeniably infuriating. I'll have them all killed when I get out of here, mostly just to appease my wolf. He is frustrated beyond measure, pacing in my mind and giving me a headache. They didn't give me wolfsbane or anything, and I hadn't even saw a single silencer stone since my arrival here, so I may actually be able to shift and make my way out of this petulant cell. It will be my first job to get out, then I'll find my little blood pet and get back to the business I had at hand. I was just starting to crave her scent, too. I knew I shouldn't have left her alone in the bedroom for lunch. I should have told her to come with me, or I could have stuck behind so she could go through her moping phase, but instead I left and allowed her to be victim to my own beta. Thankfully I killed him with one bite and
The Lunas Second Chance Mate #Chapter 38 – Run from Me Sweetheart
Alyson I have had this weird knot in my stomach since I laid down to take a nap. I finally let go of Ryan, too conflicted to fall asleep in his arms and force him to stay there holding me. He is still the Alpha of this pack; he has a lot of responsibilities to tend to that don't only include the pampering of his mate. He watches me as I drift asleep, pacing the bedroom anxiously. I know he is in my mind, tethered to the mind link and focused on my thoughts and my dreams. He doesn't want me to fall asleep upset. I know he loves me enough to want me to sleep well, without nightmare. I'm jolted awake by the doors being thrown open to the bedroom, splinters flying through the room until everything stills for just a moment. Dust fills the air while I spring up, seeing Ryan already shifted into his wolf, stalking toward me protectively. I cough slightly, trying to fan the air free of the dust, only to see a large, familiar wolf creeping into the room.
The Lunas Second Chance Mate #Chapter 39 – Enemy of My Enemy
Alyson "Please, leave me alone for the night," I plead. Olivera leans on the doorway, obviously unwilling to do so. "Maybe I want to stand here and admire the Luna of this pack," he says, sarcasm ripping through his words. "I enjoy watching you, sweetheart. You have the cutest little look when you stare at me." "It's called distain, and it's not a complement, Olivera." "Call it what you will, just keep your eyes on me and I'll do the same to you," he says, laughing. I look away, my stomach turning while I try to connect to Ryan in the mind link but he is too busy instructing his warriors on some semantics, he doesn't hear me. "Where did you go in that mind of yours?" Olivera asks. "I saw you click away from me." "I'm thinking of my mate," I say, half a lie. "Think of me instead," he says, sitting across the table from me. I roll my eyes, frustrated. "Think of my absolute charm or even my dashing good looks—" "How ab
The Lunas Second Chance Mate #Chapter 40 – Jealousy
Alyson Ryan doesn't seem to notice Olivera outside, watching intently, but I grow increasingly more distracted by the rogue. I hate him to see me like this, to watch, and embarrassment fills my gut. It's hard to focus on though, Ryan working tirelessly to please me, doing so repetitively until I break at his hands. He smiles wide, proud of his work. I glance sideways again and notice the rogue has left, turning back in time to watch Ryan undo the erection that bulges from his pants. He presses it gently to my wet sex at first, caressing it as if testing the waters. When I beg for it at last, he doesn't even let the words hardly reach my lips, sliding inward to my pelvis and causing me to gasp alive. I tremble all over, my wolf breaking out in howls in my head, needing more. "Ryan," I breathe, shivering. "Dammit, Ryan, please—yes—yes—" It doesn't make sense, and it doesn't have to. He knows what I need, what I want from him, and he obli
The Lunas Second Chance Mate #Chapter 41 – Not Here; Not Now
Alyson I hardly make it a few steps from the courtyard door before I hear glass breaking on impact. The tea cup in my hand shatters, hitting the floor, the full weight of a large, hefty wolf slamming into my body from behind, easily tossing me across the hallway. My side and hip slams into the wall, dropping me like a damp rag, blood already invading my throat. When I peer upwards, I see Olivera standing over me protectively, snarling toward the wolf that stands just opposite of him. Fritz's wolf is massive, far bigger than the rogue Alpha, and I can already tell that if they dare to clash more, Olivera will die here in this hallway. Limping, I stand up unsteadily and push past Olivera, hearing him growl loudly as he dares to stop me with his massive paw. I swat him away like a needy pup and continue pressing forward, doomed to the tears on my cheeks as my bones slowly try to heal back into place. Hitting the floor on my knees, I fall down again
The Lunas Second Chance Mate #Chapter 42 – Witless Mutt
Alyson I walk back into my home stunned and dripping wet from the rain. Fritz offered to run me back, or run with me, but I declined. I needed the time to myself to think. The rain has me shivering, drenched and exhausted, but it's the least of my worries. Ryan has been trying to connect through the link with me but I didn't have the heart to answer his requests. One of the warriors in the foyers strips off his coat and lays it over my shoulders. I give him a friendly nod, wondering if his family in the outskirts of the pack will get sick, if they will all perish, and it will be my fault. Ryan rushes to my side, grabbing me in a tight, breathless embrace. I bury my face into his shoulder and sob gently. "What did he do? What did he say to you?" Ryan gusts. I open my mouth, needing to release this burden, but I can't. I spot Olivera a few paces away, his arms crossed to his chest and his hands curled into tight fists.
The Lunas Second Chance Mate #Chapter 43 – Somber Soliloquys
Olivera I knew even when I cocked my hand back on impulse that I didn't want to hurt her. The last thing I want to see is to watch Alyson cry, to see her in any pain or danger, but she weeps and bleeds because of my impulse. I want to pick her up and hold her, to kiss her endlessly, but she isn't my mate. Instead, at the surprise of her stopping her mate from charging me, I step aside and push out of the conference room. I almost wish I had allies right now, or friends, just so I could be able to vent and hear some kind of support to what I have become while being in this pack's palace. I have no one, though, not even my wolf. He hates me for hitting the Luna. It was a horrid mistake I regretted immediately. "Dammit, dammit, dammit—" I mutter, pacing down the hall until I'm in the room I have been tossed in after escaping my barracks cell. I slam the door, falling to the ground and burying my shameful face into my hands. "I should just leave, da
The Lunas Second Chance Mate #Chapter 44 – Just One Kiss
Alyson I eat breakfast alone, Ryan already training the warriors on the new plan. We have to find the rogues that are sick and expect to find symptoms in the weaker pack wolves so they can seek healers immediately. He wanted to do this alone, knowing he will be going out with them this afternoon to try to make things right. To ease my mind, I sit alone in the busy cafeteria, a few nightshift warriors roaming in for coffee and breakfast before heading to bed. I sit at the table in the furthest corner, a little dark from the lack of light in this direction and slightly cold. In a weird way, I feel like it's punishment for being so wrong for so long. I tip my head to the side, leaning on the wall and moving the eggs around the plate as though to trick someone I have been eating. No one should care. No one should worry that I feel like the world is crashing down around me. It's my fault, anyways. "Mind if I sit here?" I turn, expecting to

The Lunas Second Chance Mate #Chapter 58 – The Beginning Of The End
Alyson The pain is insurmountable. I fight through it, thinking of the pups that need me, that are clinging to the hope that I will always fight for them, and I won't disappoint them now. I turn over, laid out on the floor of the bathroom, the healer working at the cramps in my spine. I grab the towels, grab my own shirt, desperate to get through this sooner than later. My wolf whines and my heart hurts. "RYAN!" I need him, I want him, and I fear I can't do this ordeal without him beside me. I lay out, exhausted from the agony, crying inconsolably until I hear heavy steps parading through the bedroom. Soon, they find the healer and I in the bathroom, my eyes dizzy as I spot Ryan, naked and drenched in rainwater. My breath catches, curious if I am dreaming. "Right here, Alpha, come help me with this," the healer grunts. I feel my mate hold my head, pushing deep into my spine as I straighten my back out in reflex, feeling th
The Lunas Second Chance Mate #Chapter 57 – The Rogue and Me
Ryan "Damn this weather," I mutter. The storm has yet to let up and in fact, I believe it's started pouring down harder, with more vigor, and still shows no signs of slowing for my benefit. "Have you tried linking to the healer?" Olivera asks, his antsy attitude not helping my worried state right now. "I mean, if you can't reach through the link to her, she might just be asleep and everything is okay—that could be possible, right? I mean, if you think about—" "Hush," I beg. "You're rambling again." "I'm sorry that I'm flustered," he grovels. "I'm just trying to keep calm." I raise my brow, trying to stay focused on my mate but I can't seem to shake this infatuation Olivera has had for my mate. I should ignore it, as I have in the past weeks, but something about being stuck in this small cave with him has my mind tethering off too many emotions at once. "Enlighten me, please," I sigh, shaking my head out at the storm. "What is this weirdly possessive, sympathetic binding you thi
The Lunas Second Chance Mate #Chapter 56 – Get There
Ryan I fight through the winds, the rain cascading over my warriors and me. It wasn't the best idea coming out during this type of storm but we lacked one natural ingredient that grows just south of the waterfall trail and then the cure would be complete for the last facility of rogues. I have healed slowly in my weeks of developing the cure, but I could use a dose myself. Thankfully it hasn't affected my poorly mate, spending most of her days passed out in bed until I force her to get up and move around a bit. It's been exhausting for her, but she is the patriarchy of a new family, the strongest she-wolf I know who is capable of carrying these pups. "Dammit, lover boy! Where are you?!" I barge out of the mouth of the cave where my warriors have been taking shelter from the monsoon outside. I see that rogue alpha in the distance, throwing his hands up in a small fit of rage. It's almost amusing if he didn't also sport a petrified look of angst as well. "Over here," I call out. H
The Lunas Second Chance Mate #Chapter 55 – Work Together
Alyson It's hard to feel not included in the cure development, but I watch Ryan and Olivera get along for many consecutive weeks. At least I have that peaceful energy around, watching them work with the palace pack healers to help the rogues locked up in the facilities, still sick. Thankfully there wasn't an enormous outbreak and everything seems to have worked out. I can't help the feeling of doom, though, thinking about every time things were perfect, something horrible happened. I thought once we defeated Jacob and sent away Jennifer, everything would have worked out forever. I was wrong, but if none of that bad stuff happened, I wouldn't be pregnant. I fear these pups won't be okay, the healer making a daily visit, sometimes twice a day, at least to check on my progress. I worry everyday he will say something bad has happened and they're hurt, or worse. I would give my life for these two pups but I hope I don't have to. "Morning, sweeth
The Lunas Second Chance Mate #Chapter 54 – Our Future
Alyson "Relax," Ryan coos, brushing my hair back. He has finally come to my side, forcing my eyes to stay on his, even as he paces his attention back and forth between me and the healer. I squeeze my mate's hand, feeling pressure build in my abdomen. "There you go, he's done." The healer removes his gloves, my eyes catching a glimpse of Olivera in the hall, seeing him pace frantically fast back and forth in the hallway. I look at my mate now, glimmering with sadness as he peers down at me. I know he feels like I've grown feelings for the rogue Alpha, and I haven't, but I can be sympathetic to the wolf who lost everything; just like I had. "Are the pups okay?" I breathe. Ryan flinches. "More than—more than one?" He watches the healer as though waiting to hear so magical, good news. "What is going on? Are they okay? How many are there? I—" The healer settles his hands together before his body, like a man with bad news. "It's hard to tell
The Lunas Second Chance Mate #Chapter 53 – Confessions
Alyson Whatever causes the fight, I'm not exactly sure, but it breaks out anyways. Every single wolf in the courtyard has shifted, the movements so fast that I don't even release that I've been thrown out of the hecticness, my side slamming against the brick wall and my head smacking right up against it until I feel the blood flow from a cut on my temple. I curl into a ball, my hands instinctively curling to my stomach, so dazed that instead of being able to see what has caused this fight to break out, I only spot wolves tearing into one another, biting into flesh and blood being poured. Ryan, I reach through the mind link, not capable of spotting him through the haze in my eyesight. What the hell is going on? Rouges came from the pack lands; they must have been waiting to ambush. Where are you, mate? Get out of here! Go inside, now! I aim to sit up, my head so discombobulated that I can't even dictate which direction would take me bac
The Lunas Second Chance Mate #Chapter 52 – Weak Link Luna
Alyson It only takes a moment for me to catch my breath, and another for me to sprint across the hall, watching Olivera struggle to stand, instead melting to the floor where he slams his fist against the tile floor—it cracks instantly under his bold knuckles. I dare flinch, seeing him so angry almost a warning for me to be careful, but I instead charge forward anyways. I grab his cheek, forcing him to meet my eyes, and he relaxes ever so slightly. When he does, I drag my palm across his face in a single, sharp slap. He jolts upright, standing suddenly and staring me down with a pure look of surprise written across his face. "What the hell was that for?" "That's for doing something so stupid," I growl, my fists trembling at my sides. "You could have died from that cure, Olivera, how dare you try something that risky in my palace?" "You might be the Luna, but you're not my Luna," he says, snide. "I am free to make any decision I want if
The Lunas Second Chance Mate #Chapter 51 – Life And Death
Alyson I find myself sitting in the hallway between office and bedroom. In one, my mate suffers with an ill mark on his shoulder and back, and in the other sits an enigma of a wolf. He has kissed me, he has fondled me, and unknown to us both, he has poisoned me while I was newly pregnant. If anything, I should hate the rogue Alpha, but I don't have it in me to leave him completely. So I sit in the hall between them both, curled up with my hands resting on my stomach as if I have already blossomed outward, waiting for one of my favorite Alpha's to wake up. If I leave here to be with one, and the other wakes, I'll feel guilty forever. For now, I wait, hearing steps breach my silent mediation between Alphas. "My Luna, why are you out of bed?" I hear Fritz hum, my eyes watered and wide, shocked to see him here of all places. We didn't exactly part on the most amicable of terms. "You're still looking pale." I wave off his words and
The Lunas Second Chance Mate #Chapter 50 – Reconsider, Perhaps
Alyson I try to fight Olivera from going into the office, but he easily grabs my wrist, twists it, and nudges me out the doorway. He's too smart and too strong for me right now, my head blotted with the sleepiness that I can't seem to shake. I grab at his arm, at his shirt sleeve, and dig my heals against the ground. He drags me a few paces before finally stopping. "You're a persistent little bug," he snaps, releasing my hands off of his shirt and giving me a stern look. "We have to find out what this cure does to an Alpha and as it stands, I'm the one best capable here of verbalizing the aftermath of taking this cure. If it makes things worse, so be it." I feel my heart patter to a screeching halt. "What does worse contain?" He looks to the healer, the vial on the desk nearby, and then back to meet my eyes. "I could die, of course, or I could only loose my wolf. I'm happy to put both on the line to see if this stuff is worthy of fixing Ryan, fi
