Second Chance for Revenge: The Reborn Luna. のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 11 - チャプター 20

ORLANow reconciled with Ella, hopefully for real this time, I found my way back home only to be met with calm music and a couple of strange faces.My parents didn’t strike me as the party type, but of course, they had just returned after being away for a few days. All the people that must have been expecting them back could finally come around.While trying to quietly avoid running into anyone familiar, I ended up bumping into the last person I wanted to see.He smiled and pulled me closer to him. His hand sat firmly on my waist. “I’ve been looking everywhere for you.”I wriggled out of his grasp and forced a smile that felt too paper thin. “I stepped out for a little while. I didn’t even know that my parents were planning to have a little get together.”“Well, I actually came here to see you. I’d like us to talk about some things.”I didn’t need him to elaborate to know what he meant. He was likely talking about us and our mating ceremony. But I didn’t want to talk about that now. I

ORLA“Are you sure you’ll be alright dear?” asked my mom. “We’ll be gone for quite some time. It’s not too late to come with us.”Somehow, I’d managed to convince my parents that they didn’t have to stay within the town since they had so much to do. Dad frequently attended international meetings and events, and my mother had a lust for adventure that made her discontent in staying in one place for too long. How they managed to stay around home for all the years they had made me understand just how much they had sacrificed for the family and the pack. It was time for them to do what they actually wanted, without the fear of anything or anyone holding them back.Now, mom had gotten an invitation to a supernatural organization that needed her expertise with ancient artifacts and widespread knowledge about the supernatural world. Dad, as well, didn’t want to be too far away from the love of his life, and somehow worked his way into getting a job as an ambassador for the supernatural commu

MAVERICKI shouldn’t have been so happy that she requested to spend some time with me, even if just to gain more information about the missing people. She couldn’t stand my presence, while simply being in her presence made my mind fracture and reset all at the same time.The news about her family’s missing Shadow worried me, because Shadows were incredibly loyal, and were usually under an oath. They wouldn’t just disappear unless they were killed, or they were intercepted by a powerful force. Once or twice, I’d seen the young woman watching them from a distance as most of her kind did. Even if we’d never traded words before, it still felt like there was an unspoken familiarity between us.Although I had offered to take Orla with me, she insisted that her driver must be the one to take her to my place. I could have thrown her over my shoulder regardless, but that wouldn’t have done me any good.When we got to my house, I got out of the car and waited for Orla’s vehicle to come to a sto

ORLAThe half moon sat in the sky. It looked down on us as we moved through the night.I didn’t know where Ryker was taking me, but I knew that he wouldn’t try to kill me so soon.Saint Terrir was bordered by a thickness of large trees and green plants on one side, and a sparkling clear river on the other. I knew this because my dad made it his duty to take Ophelia and I outside of our house at any chance he could get. We’d go on these long trips where he’d tell us the history of different places in Saint Terrir.From the directions that I observed, I still couldn’t get a good read on where we were headed. So I let the wind whip about my face and blow my hair in different directions.More out of fear of falling off and dying, I gripped Ryker’s torso with all the strength I had. I still couldn't understand why he insisted on using a death trap of a motorcycle for his movement. Perhaps it was to keep up with his ‘hot boy’ image. Or maybe he liked living on the edge.When I had the menta

MAVERICKI shot out of my bed, shaking and searching for air I didn’t know I had lost. I’d been trapped in something like a nightmare, and forced to see things that tore me into pieces.My parents, slain. My pregnant mother was begging and crying so hard that her skin turned red. My father fought until he couldn’t anymore, before succumbing to his wounds.The same images that I saw almost every night. The demons that I had been forced to make peace with. The truth that I’d been given no choice but to accept even though it left a bitter taste in my mouth and made me dizzy with rage and fear.My chest felt like something was crushing it, like a boulder sat on it. Every breath I took hurt. I couldn’t focus my eyes on anything. Sweat rolled off my skin, and dropped silently on the carpeted floor. The tips of my fingers throbbed as I fought to keep my wolf within me. My nails lengthened into claws and growls bubbled deep within my throat.The silver light of the moon descended upon me thro
