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 45 – Chaos
Alyson When I wake, I'm drenched in water. I feel Olivera hoisting me out of the watering hole, setting me on a set of rocks nearby as he gets out beside me, brushing my hair off my face. I see the blood on his palm but I don't feel the bleed on my features, completely numb all over. The panic in his eyes is apparent. "Damnit, sweetheart, you are such a clumsy Luna," he gasps. I only shake my head, too stunned to speak. My body is numb and thrumming all over in pain, my head spinning and water settling in the depths of my throat, making me feel like I've drank an entire pool of water. "I hate you," I manage to grunt. He gives me a cautious look. "I felt you kiss me back, sweetheart, so don't play that game with me. You wanted that kiss. You wanted more." "Liar," I bite. "I love my mate with my whole body. I love him so deeply that you will never even come close to changing that. You're a bitter old rogue, and I'm sick of yo
The Lunas Second Chance Mate #Chapter 46 – My Blood
Alyson I sob at his side, watching him sleep so deeply that he hardly can make out a coherent mumble when I beg for him to heal. He's been bitten by a sick rogue, something that could have the capacity to kill him, and I can't allow that to happen. I bow my head, resting it against he side of the bed where I kneel, where I haven't moved from in days, just waiting for him to lift his head and smile joyously. If only that would truly happen. I would cry harder than I'm crying now, so desperate to have my mate in my arms. Someone taps my shoulder and I jerk away from the calm, caring touch. Olivera hasn't left me alone for long since this ordeal has occurred and now he is back from the cafeteria, holding a tray of lunch that I snub. I don't want to eat. I want my mate to wake up and be okay. "Come on, blood pet, you need to eat," he huffs. My watery eyes shoot open. "Why didn't I think of that before?" I grab for a kni
The Lunas Second Chance Mate #Chapter 47 – I Need You
Alyson "Please," I beg, on my knees with tears in my eyes. "I'm sorry, Alyson. I wish I could, but it's not that simple. Those experimental files are classified and let's face it, even with Ryan trying to help get the sick rogues back into the Wilshire facility, the elders are still unsure of your cooperation." "He is wounded, Fritz. He is hurt because he wanted to help make things right." "Then he shouldn't have made things wrong," Fritz gusts. "I'm sorry you feel this way, Alyson, but my hands are tide." I gasp, crying out so hard that I threaten to scream, Olivera making it to my side, trying to calm me down, but it doesn't help. I need this breaking point, I need this dead-end, because it will only make me more determined to help my mate survive these wounds. "Just tell me this," I gust, looking to Fritz who paces across his little cave. "Did you and the other elders ever find a cure?" He swallows hard, hesitating
The Lunas Second Chance Mate #Chapter 48 – I'm What?!
Alyson My body may be getting examined, but my mind is with Olivera. He is off snooping for a cure, trying to help save my mate, and I'm stuck under the hands of an unfamiliar healer. He centers his hands over my stomach, his eyes going crooked toward me. "Luna," he breathes, resting my shirt back down after his last treatment relaxed my body past the point of feeling pain. "The wolf you came in with, the Alpha aura, is that your mate?" I hold back a spat of laughter. "My mate? No way." "Where is your Alpha, then?" It's only now that I notice his voice has gone ice cold. I fear he may tell me I'm doomed to die, or I'm sick like the other rogues and I don't have the fever yet, but instead he waits for my reply and I can't stall any longer in my anxious thoughts. "He's at the palace, on our pack lands, about an hour run from here," I breathe, the truth. "He hasn't been feeling well though, sick with pneumonia," my partial tr
The Lunas Second Chance Mate #Chapter 49 – One Last Shot
Olivera She finally fell asleep after much debate with he healer to spike her tea with a little herbal supplement meant to make her drowsy. The blood pet was already exhausted so it didn't take long for her to crash, laid up in bed beside her mate whose wounds I changed the bandages on. His blood reeks in scent, metallic and burning my nostrils. Alyson shifts endlessly in her sleep as always, no longer stressed about menial things but instead focused on what could happen to her pup's future if her mate doesn't survive this illness. I would rather have her to myself, but I'm not cold enough to deny her the mate of her second chance in life, the father to her pups. I grab a spare office, working with the healer in order to find out if this cure in question will actually work. I have a dirty, bloody bandage left over from Ryan and we add a drop or two to the bloody spots, waiting to see if anything happens under the microscope that will show the cure trying
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
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 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
