The Second Chance Luna Chapter Eight
Roxie's head felt like it was swimming. She felt woozy. When she opened her eyes, she noticed that it was hard for her to focus as the room was spinning. What was clear, however was the fact that she was no longer in her bed at home. She moved to sit up, it was a difficult task, but she managed. She moved to stand up. She was a little lightheaded, but was able to do it. She checked out her surroundings. The room was made up of a single twin sized bed. There were no windows, which made her think that it was a basement room of some kind. One large door sat in the room as the entry and exit point. There was a dresser, a nightstand. There was another doorway but it had no door, just hanging black beads that set it apart from the rest of the room. For the most part, the room was clean and organized, but for the life of her she couldn't really remember how she got there. Come on, Roxie think. How did we get here? What was the last thing we remember? She chided herself. She decided to try t

Avery sat in his office as Sienna made some calls. Then realization struck him. "Look into Celia Harlowe." He commanded, then Sienna stopped cold. "Why?" She asked. "That's her mother." Sienna paused and looked back at Avery like he had grown a second head. "Celia Harlowe was thrown out of the pack after your father died. She was the mate he chose over your mother and you guys. I'm guessing Roxanna Harlowe is your fated mate? Poor girl. She grew up with that thing as her mother. Well, a very absent mother but she was born the biological child of that vile woman. Avery, I support rescuing her a hundred percent. Who knows what Celia is planning, but the chances of your mother accepting her as your mate... are very slim." Avery growled at that. "I don't care what my mother's hang up is. She is my mate and I will bring her with me. There's not enough school left for her to be kept captive. Nevermind that. Who else was absent from school yesterday!" He roared. Avaline held up her hand. Sh

Grayson held her down with one arm, as she flailed against him with her hands. Attempting to free herself. "Don't fight it!" He roared as he reached down and yanked her shorts from her body, tearing them in the process. He grabbed her shirt and pulled it up, trapping one of her small nipples in his mouth. She growled in frustration and reared her head back and smacked him with her forehead when he moved to look down at her again. His hands went to his nose. "You little bitch!" He growled. She attempted to roll off of the bed but he caught her again this time he grabbed her by her thighs and slid her down on the bed. He forced her legs apart and pried her open and began lapping at her center with his tongue. Everything about that sensation felt wrong to her. She didn't want him to do it! She wanted...

Roxie sat back in the hospital bed. She was so tired. Her throat hurt, she was unable to speak. There was so much she wanted to say to Avery. However, she was unable to do so. When she attempted to speak, it felt as though her throat was on fire. She was thankful to Avery for saving her, but now all she wanted was to tell him, how thankful she was. She knew that her father was coming to the hospital, but she did not want to see him. She partially blamed him for allowing her mother to do the things that she did. As it stood, the only person in that room that she trusted, was Avery.Collin had got the call from the hospital while he was at work. He couldn’t believe that something so horrific had happened to his daughter. When he left for work that morning, he was under the impression that his daughter, and his estranged wife were out together. He was shocked to learn that not only was that not the case, but now his child was in the hospital with serious injuries. as he arrived at the ho
The Second Chance Luna Chapter Twelve
Avaline left the hospital that afternoon. Avery sat by Roxie's side. She slowly ate the cake pop and the cheesy sandwhich that Avilene got for her. She slowly slipped the warm drink she was given. She felt like she was starving after the entire ordeal with Grayson. She picked up the remote and turned the small TV on in the room. Avery looked like he hadn't slept in days. "Tomororw, when they discharge you. We'll go withdraw you from school and pack your stuff. I don't trust anyone here long enough to ever leave you unattended again. Avilene is bringing you clothes in the morning so you can shower and get the blood off of you." Avery said. Roxie of course, didn't say anything. She nodded and looked at him with those large pools of blue eyes of hers. Taylor Reid sat in the waiting room of the hospital until the blinking light of the operation room switched to off. She couldn't imagine how things had gotten to this point. Celia had promised that things would be different once Grayson ma
The Second Chance Luna Chapter Thirteen
Alpha James had no choice, but to return to the Packhouse, and finalize his decision. By the time he returned, Taylor and her parents were already in his office waiting for him. “What do you plan on doing about our son’s murder?” Taylor’s parents asked. Alpha let out an exasperated sigh, and looked at the trio solemnly.“I have conducted an investigation into your son’s death. In light of the fact that your son spent money in an attempt to purchase another person, and tried to force himself on that person without her consent, he is just as responsible for his death as she was. It is my decision to have this incident ruled as a self-defense case. Your son broke our laws, and has paid for it with his life. I have decided that Roxanna‘s punishment for ending the life of my beta, is exile. She has been exiled from our pack effective immediately.” Taylor and her parents did not seem to accept that decision. “That’s it? That’s all you’re going to do to the person that killed your best frien

"Avery Jackson, you have some explaining to do!" His mother bellowed. Avery had little patience for his mother's meltdown. "Celia Harlowe is her mother. Like we were left by dad, she was left behind by her mother. Matter of fact, I met the woman." The look on his mother's face was priceless. She had lost all the color to her face. "And?" She asked. Avery sighed. "She seemed nice, at first. The very next day Roxie was missing from school. So, we went to their house. Turns out, Celia drugged her own child and tried to sell her off to someone else, just because she didn't want Roxie to be mated to me." Avery countered. "Still, she'll be trouble." His mother attempted to reason with him. Avery shook his head. "I don't care. She's my mate. She was chosen by the Goddess specifically for me. You attempted to reason with me, not to reject my mate remember? I didn't reject her. It's a good thing I didn't, because if I had to look the other way. That girl would be dead. In the last twenty-four
The Second Chance Luna Chapter Fifteen
Roxie couldn’t believe that she was kissing Avery. She laced her fingers through his hair. As she instinctively parted her lips to allow him to deepen the kiss. He slipped his tongue into her small mouth to fully taste her. She could feel him pulling her tighter to him. She could feel her body heating up, fully feeling the electric surge from the bond that she had tried to ignore. There was a knock on the door, that caused them to separate. Roxie slid off his lap and back onto the bed. “What is it?” Avery asked. The door opened and Sienna made her way inside. “I was coming to apologize for my behavior earlier today. “ Avery looked skeptical but shrugged and attempted to wave her away. “is that all?” Avery asked, he was a little irritated by the interruption. Sienna glanced towards Roxie and smirked. “Was I interrupting something?” Sienna said innocently. Avery growled in response. “Were you trying to interrupt something?” Avery asked in disbelief. Sienna chuckled. “Of course not! I o

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 Second Chance Luna Chapter Thirty Three
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
The Second Chance Luna Chapter Twenty Nine
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
