The Second Chance Luna Chapter Nineteen
Celia growled in frustration as she gripped the phone in her hand. She never once believed that this could be the outcome when she sold off her daughter to Grayson Reid. That little runt offspring of hers killed the Beta of the Redwood Pack? She could hardly believe it. She didn't dare return there, no doubt she shared the blame in some of the outcome. Shit! Nothing was going according to plan. She spent three days cozing up to that little weakling of a daughter of hers, and this was the result? Bullshit! Celia sighed and pulled her dark hair away from her face. Nothing was going according to plan! The plan was simple. She bought off those two mediocre bullies to be nice to her kid from now on. Sell Roxanna to Grayson and once he had fucked all the resolve out of that defiant little whelp, she would be the perfect clay to mold into the perfect chess piece for her long game. She had been naive enough to think that if she got rid of Allistair Jackson, that the kingdom would naturally fal

Roxie woke up the following morning. She found Avery's side of the bed completely empty. She moved to sit up in the bed and rubbed her eyes. Today was the first morning of her new training schedule. It was time to start her journey of being stronger. The thought suddenly hit her that she still hadn't heard Vera since the incident with her mother and Grayson happend. What if her wolf was truly missing? What if Vera abandoned her? Those thoughts swirled in her head and she was truly starting to panic, when she heard a sleepy voice in her head. Such noisy thoughts, child. I've been listening this entire time. Can't I take a nap, without you thinking it's a crisis? Vera! I thought you were gone for real. I can't use my voice anymore.. speaking to you is all I have. I was worred that you wouldn't come back.. that drug.. Such a minor amount, couldn't kill me. We're fine. Don't you have training to do? I'm ready to stretch my legs. Your head is such a chaotic and stuffy place. Yes, we're

Avery had been watching Roxie for a while. It seemed like Avilene had been putting her through all the paces. He remembered Avilene telling him she was testing her speed yesterday. Today, he had headed out to the tree line. He was scared she would fall, but what he saw impressed him. The Pack was surrounded by thick tall grand oak trees. The limbs were thick, and climbing up them was no small task. What was more, was the speed and grace Roxie displayed as she hopped from one branch to another on those delicate little bare feet of hers. Hey Perv, if you're just going to watch her. Why don't you join us? He heard Avilene's voice in his head and he chuckled to himself. He didn't know what possessd him, but he extended his claws and climbed up. He hopped from one tree to the next keeping a distance behind them, so he could watch his lovely little mate in action. Roxie jumped from one tree to another. His heart dropped when she jumped and missed her mark, she caught herself with her hands,

Allison grabbed Roxie after lunch and took her up to what would soon be her office. The room was at the far corner of the hallway, where the Alpha Office was located. There was a large bay window in the corner of the office, complete with some pillows, almost like a little reading nook. There were large bookcases that took up the back wall. The desk was made of thick mahogany. There was a apple computer set up on the desk with an L Curve to take care of paperwork in the same space. A thick comfy office chair sat behind the desk, while two normal padded office chairs sat in front. A couch took up the side wall with a small coffee table. It was much nicer than the office of the Luna in her old pack. "You'll be Luna soon, so this will be your office. You can start using it immediately. I have some reading resources for you to read to familiarize yourself with our pack's personal laws, as well as the laws provided to us to execute by the higher ups. There's also a book about properly repo
The Second Chance Luna Chapter Twenty Three
Alpha James sighed at his mother. She was relentless and wouldn't simply let things go. "The match is set." He was annoyed. He could have been happy with a perfect mate of his own. If he had only given her a chance. She was long gone now, she had a second chance on finding a mate. That was what scared him most. If he gave up, and accepted a match now, what if his true mate was revealed later down the line? What if this was all wrong and he was ruining his own chances of a happy life with a true mate? He just couldn't stop these worries. If he denied his mother, denied this match, the pack would fall into chaos. He was named Alpha nearly a year ago when his father died. If he didn't accept a mate and give them a Luna. The constant competition between the women would never cease. His mother would never be satisfied unless he agreed. "I'm not telling you again. You must choose a Luna. We need a strong Luna to help lead our pack. It's best for our pack, and you know that." James had to re
The Second Chance Luna Chapter Twenty Four
Roxie woke the following morning with Avery wrapped around her from behind. She had to carefully wiggle out of his grap to get up. She was a little sore, but quite happy. She started the process of getting ready for her next training session with Avilene. She was brushing her hair in the mirror when she noticed the scar that was on across her neck the day before, was completely gone. She also looked at her new mark. It was pretty, two cresent mark tattoos intwined at the nape of her neck. She liked the way they looked. The thought suddenly occured to her, if the scar was healed, did that mean that the mate bond fixed it? She thought about testing it. She had been preoccupied with staring at her neck and her mark, so much that she didn't see Avery coming up behind her. When she suddenly looked back up and saw him standing behind her in the mirror, she let out a shrill squeal that startled them both. "Holy shit!" Avery exclaimed and spun her around to look down at her face. "Say my name
The Second Chance Luna Chapter Twenty Five
Roxie's Wolf Howled in pain. Avilene's Chestnut wolf snagged onto Rachel's Wolf right hind leg when all three of them were suddenly knocked over as something colided with them. A much larger, dark brown wolf with furious looking amber eyes stood in front. It wasted no time snatching up Rachel's wolf by the throat and slinging it to the side. The wolf colided with the nearby fence and ended up falling against the ground. The wolf shifted back to reveal Rachel's human form. Her neck to her shoulder was injured, but it seemed that killing her wasn't the focus of the attack. Avilene shifted back, and Roxie followed. The wolf stalked towards them, then reverted into human form, as Avery crouched down to Roxie's level to inspect her wound. "What the fuck happened?! Somebody better get to talking now! Before I get pissed." He growled aiming his gaze towards Rachel. "I can't really explain it." Avilene said as she went to grab some clothes for Roxie. Avery helped her into her clothes and used

Avery barely said a word as he carried Roxie into the packhouse. Roxie could feel the anger pouring off of his body. He gently sat Roxie down on the counter in their bathroom. He grabbed a clean cloth from the closet and ran warm water in the sink. He rang the wet cloth out and cleaned up the blood off of Roxie's ankle. He looked relieved, when he noticed the bleeding had stopped. It seemed that Vera's healing abilities had kicked in and started sinching up the wound. He slung open the curtain for the shower and plugged the bathtub and started running water for a bath. It was only then that he turned around and looked towards Roxie. "I'm sorry that this happened to you. I won't allow someone under my command to harm my mate." He said and pulled Roxie off of the counter. Roxie could do little but allow him to strip off her clothes. He helped her into the tub of water and leaned down to kiss her forehead. "Relax and feel better. I'm going to go handle business." Roxie flinched as the do

Everything had been prepared for the big day. Roxie woke early from her slumber, but woke to discover that Avery had already left the room. His side of the bed was already cold, which made Roxie a little disappointed and underwhelmed. She moved to sit up in the bed and rubbed the sleep from her eyes. He was the light of her life and she appreciated him like another. She moved out of the bed to take her shower. She had just finished rinsing off and wrapping herself in a towel when she noticed Avery standing there with a tray of food. "Breakfast for our new Luna?" Avery mentioned with a cheeky grin. Roxie couldn't help but laugh at his corny behavior. She lifted onto the tips of her toes to lean up and kiss his cheek. Avery grinned happily. He didn't leave the room until Roxie was contently eating her breakfast. He made sure to grab a fresh omelet with her favorite fillings, as well as a side of hashbrowns and her favorite juice. He would be lying if he said that he wasn't a nervous wre

Avery sat in his office the following morning looking through the messages that he had previously received from Trevor. Things were a little rocky, he didn't know what was going on. He didn't trust this alpha of the Crimson Dusk, there was trouble ahead, but he didn't want to worry his mate before she took her first steps as his Luna. Roxie had enough to worry about without adding this to her plate. He hoped that she had fun with Avilene, he needed her away for a while so he could concentrate on finding the leak in his ranks. "Should we pospone the ceremony?" Trenton asked. Avery shot a glare in his direction. "No, but I do think we need to be prepared for anything. Inviting the local Alphas is protocol for situations like this, the unfortunate businesss with all of this is we don't always know who our friends are. Some might think that a young new Alpha like myself will be prime picking. No doubt they think me inexperienced with this role and that I can easily be moved, but there is n

"You are quite the dark beauty aren't you?" Avilene asked as they were browsing the dresses for the upcoming ceremony. Roxie didn't want to admit it, but she wasn't really a fan of overly bright colors like the other girls that she grew up with. Pink and vibrant colors just weren't her thing. She clung to the understanding that she was an outcast and tried to pick things that made her stand out less in a crowd. "Are you talking about my hair color?" Roxie retorted quietly. Avilene laughed in response. "No, I mean, you typically wear things darker in color, or absent of color entirely. Blacks, greys.. white.. things of that nature. I think you look beautiful in those anyway, but I was wondering if you wanted to wear something.. brighter for the event?" Avilene asked. "I don't want to stand out too much, then again I'm not accustomed to these kinds of formal events. I never even attended my own prom, so how should I know what's proper attire?" Roxanna asked with a soft chuckle. Avilene
The Second Chance Luna Chapter Thirty Four
Avery was going through the accounts on his computer, with Roxie sitting in the chair opposite to him in his office. The messy business with Sienna had been handled. It seemed to be over. Things were starting to relax a bit, though Roxie wasn't certain she'd ever get that look of pure hatred on Sienna's face out of her mind. "So, Typically there are a few choice members that are invited to these events. As a show of good faith, we typically invite other pack Alphas and Lunas to celebrate the Ascension with us. As of right now, Crimson Dusk's Alpha hasn't done anything horrible to us specifically. We could invite him, however if your mother ends up attending she will be arrested on the spot. We should invite Alpha James, his mate Maddison but keep close tabs on her at all times. Would you like your father to attend?" He asked absently. "We should invite my father, but does Maddison have to attend?" Roxie asked. Avery made a heavy sigh and nodded his head. "Unfortunately yes. Every gues

The following morning, Roxie was rustled out of bed by Avery. She quickly dressed herself in a black long sleeved top and a pair of dark leggings. She threw up her hair into a high pony and slipped on her flats as Avery led her downstairs. He was dressed similarly in his usual long sleeved dark dress shirt and a pair of dark denim jeans. He led her by the arm downstairs towards the dungeon. "What are we going?" Roxie asked groggily and Avery sighed. "It is part of the laws. If an Alpha sentences someone in the pack to be executed. The Alpha and if available, their Luna must be present along with anyone who wishes to attend in order to be present for the last rights." Avery commented in a low voice as he opened the door for her. He led her down to the basement level and through a door into a dimly lit hallway. There were several cells there and at the end was a large metal door. "What's that?" Roxie asked and Avery sighed. "It's the Execution chamber. There are seats for the viewing boo

Avery went behind his guards as Sienna and a small Omega were both clasped in chains and brought down to the dungeons before facing their judgement. Avilene headed with Roxie up to her room. Roxie drew a bath and got herself cleaned up. The deep cut to her face from Sienna's claws had yet to heal. Roxie dabbed at her wond with some clean cloth and redressed in a dark mid length dress before the doctor could make her way up. The doctor's lips pursed into a fine line as she looked her over. "The bleeding has stopped which is good. My concern, however is that this might leave an ugly scar. If it doesn't heal properly." The woman said. Roxie closed her eyes as the doctor applied an ointment to the cuts. "I'll come back and check it in a couple of hours. You should stay here and rest during that time. It's an impressive victory regardless. No one of your stature has ever taken on someone as large as Sienna and came out victorious." The doctor said trying to reassure her. Roxie sighed and l

Avery motioned for everyone to hold their silence. He cleared his throat to speak. "Today we are gathered here to bare witness to a challenge. Sienna of pack Red Moon has challenged our future Luna, and my mate. Roxanna on the grounds that she is not fit to be Luna in due to her belief that Roxie will not make a good Luna based on her small stature and her opinion of Roxie being weak. Roxanna, originally from pack Redwood has came here to answer that challenge and show you all that Sienna's opinion is invalid and despite her small size, has the ability to defend herself, and others under her care. I ask you to withold your judgement to the end. As the old laws dictate, the two challengers must face off in single combat until one party yields. As long as the fight is fair, we must accept the outcome." Avery nodded towards Roxie and took his seat between Avilene and his mother. "You don't look so good, Roxie. It's not too late to forefit and spare yourself some dignity. You don't look w

The next five days passed in a flash. Roxie spent every day training with Avilene until nearly dinner time. They did a variety of exercises, and each one was more advanced and more brutal than the previous session. Roxie was tired, her muscles ached, but she felt like her body was adapting to the intense training that Avilene had been putting her through. After she finished training for the day, she headed inside and ate dinner with Avery and Avilene. A couple of times, even Trenton and Allison would eat with them. She spent her nights in the throws of passion with her mate, only to wake the next morning and do it all again. That had been her pace for nearly a week now. Roxie woke to the sound of her alarm. Only this time, she wasn't the one to shut it off. Avery stood over her, his hair was still damp from his shower and smelling like a mixture of earth and spice scents. He kissed her forehead, and she slowly moved to sit up on the bed. The scent of something sweet caught her off gua

Roxie quickly showered and thew up her long hair in a messy bun. She got dressed rather quickly. She selected a black halter style dress. She slid into a pair of black tights with a spiderweb design and matched that with a pair of her black mary jane dress shoes. She put on her dark leather jacket, and applied a light layer of eyeshadow and some mascara. When she was pleased with the look, she headed downstairs. Avilene was leaning against the wall at the main landing. Avilene was dressed differently than what Roxie was used to. Avilene was sporting a midnight blue semi formal mini dress. It was rather flowy. She wore a dark cardigan over it, a dark pair of pantyhose covered her long legs, and a pair of calve high stiletto boots covered her feet. Avery came from the kitchen to meet them. He was dressed in a dark long sleeved dress shirt with a couple of the top buttons undone. A pair of tight fitting black slacks and dress shoes made up in ensemble. The sleeves of his shirt was rolled
