All Chapters of Luna Scarlett's Second Chance: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

I scramble out of the car and pick up the laptop I deposited on the other chair, Roman gives me a critical look and I hold his look.His eyes do a quick scan of my outfit and he nods.I feel the imaginary self-esteem blow do a quick halt and I search for his eyes but he’s turned away already. He’s walking to the entrance of the company and I follow.I catch a glimpse of myself in the glass panels of the highrise and I assure myself I look good.A simple yet exquisite-looking white top with pearl buttons graces my upper body and for my lower half, I have a skirt that ends in frills and ruffles at the knees.My footwear has a transparent diamond-style heel and it gives me some more height.They don’t hurt now, but I wouldn't mind if they did.Whatever looks this nice, deserves to hurt you, even if it’s a teeny bit.The office stills the moment Roman enters.I feel it like a pause in the atmosphere, one guy has a doughnut halfway to his mouth and his teeth already poised for a bite. He’

I set up my office first.It doesn’t take much work since the only thing I need to do is place my laptop on the table and look for a power socket to plug it in. I stand around clueless after that.Do I go to Roman and ask what happens now?I give myself an eye roll. Of course not. That would make me seem dumb and helpless, and I'm done living that life so I whip my new phone out.It was in the car, almost like someone had put it there for me. I should probably ask him if he’s the one who got it for me, but since he’s not being really verbal, I'll do it some other time.I scan for an internet connection and a wifi network comes up. Ironclaw.It’s an open network so I connect to it and spend the better part of the next hour setting the phone up and downloading most of the information I have stored in the cloud.I am careful, so careful it’s almost ridiculous. Hunter is an ever-present threat, like a dog with a bone. I am that bone and he only wants me back so he can go on chewing me up

Scarlett's pov“I can’t eat this.”The words replay in my head and I feel like breaking something.He doesn’t eat doughnuts? He’s lying.Fen told me he eats them and I acted on that. I was told to make sure he eats, and I don't know how that is the job of a personal assistant but Fen said his former assistant used to do it all the time. This is my first day, and I want to make an impression.I did that for him and he gave me such a reply. Have I gone into the wrong line of work?I wake up my computer from sleep mode and see I have a new email. The unopened envelope stands at one corner of the screen and I look at it before clicking.I don’t have to be hesitant every time something new happens to me. Roman and his Beta are the only two people who have this email so far.Sure enough, the email is from Roman’s beta and as it opens, I frown at the content of what I read. There’s a website address and a password.I click on the link and it takes me to a page, asking for my email and pass

Roman's povScarlett is scared.The emotion rolls off her in waves yet she tries to pull herself together so she can help a man she barely knows.“It’s going to be okay, Alpha Gomez.”“It’s the rogues that did this.”The man sounds like a shattered version of himself, his voice is lifeless yet holding so much pain.“They want me to surrender the pack to them. They’d do anything to take my pack from me. They’re a…. They’re a threat. You have to help me.”Scarlett’s eyes meet mine before she looks back to the phone and nods.“I promise we’ll get your wife and daughter back, Alpha Gomez. You did the right thing by calling Alpha Roman.“If this doesn’t work…. I’ll have to surrender my pack to the Alpha of the Nightshade pack.”Scarlett’s frown matches mine but when she opens her mouth to ask further, I raise a hand and stop her from doing so.The full picture has already come into view. Alpha Gomez just answered the question I've been asking myself all this while. “I have to go now Alpha

Scarlett's povI search for Danis immediately.The pack guards looked surprised to see me back but even more of them look surprised now. I have my heels off my feet and they’re being held by the straps. My bare feet on the marble floor is refreshing but that isn’t the reason I'm here.“Can you direct me to Danis’s room please?”The guard sneers at me and walks off. I scowl. I won’t be getting any information from him. Based on how they all had the same sneering look in their eyes, I guess it’ll be hard to get any information from all of them.I stop walking, pace and begin to think.Danis isn’t a member of this pack, but he’s here as Roman’s guest and there should be a section of the packhouse reserved for keeping people like that. I walk forward and hope I am going in the right direction.I ask the next person I meet to point me in the direction of the guest rooms and luckily for me she does. It feels like a bad thing to assume the males in this place are dicks while the females ar
