Forsaken Luna's Second Chance Chapter 44: Curse
BEATRICEI hesitate for a long time.The house is quiet now, the only sound the soft rhythm of Bailey’s breathing from the next room. She finally drifted off after insisting on talking about every single dish I should bring to the picnic. Her list included fried dumplings, sweet rolls, and something she called “victory noodles,” which I’m still not sure how to interpret.But I’m not thinking about recipes right now. I’m standing near the window, fingers hovering over the edge of the sill, heart pounding. The moon’s low tonight, a sliver behind clouds.I close my eyes.Maxwell… can you hear me?It’s the first time I’ve ever tried to mind-link him. I wasn’t even sure it would work—not since I joined the pack, not since the ceremony.I hold my breath, already bracing for silence.Then his voice comes through.“Beatrice?”I flinch.His tone is even. Calm. But it hits me like a jolt anyway—deep and low, like it’s coming from inside my chest instead of my head.My heart skips.“Sorry to both
Forsaken Luna's Second Chance Chapter 43: Wild child
BEATRICEI see her before I hear her. A small figure near the fence, surrounded by other kids. One of them shoves her again.I’m already moving.My heart pounds as I rush across the schoolyard. The sounds sharpen as I get closer—laughter, teasing, that cruel edge children don’t even realize they carry.“Wild child,” one of them says and others all laugh.“Her mom’s a werewolf, so is her” another adds. “Savage people.”My chest tightens.Bailey’s fists are clenched at her sides, her eyes glossy but defiant.“I’m not a wild child!” she shouts, her little voice cracking at the edges. “I have my mom! And my mom is the most amazing person in the world!”Goddess.My heart aches. It cracks and swells at the same time.I reach her in two strides and drop to my knees, wrapping my arms around her protectively. She presses into me instantly, her whole body trembling.“That’s enough,” I snap, glaring at the kids. “Go! Now!”They scatter like startled birds, darting off in every direction. But I
Forsaken Luna's Second Chance Chapter 42: Chance
BEATRICEI nod and smile, even though it takes everything in me to keep that smile in place.Disappointment rolls through me like a slow wave, bitter and familiar. I had hoped—stupidly, maybe—that today would be different. That I’d walk away with something solid. But I get it. I really do. I don’t have experience. I don’t have credentials. All I have is my word and the quiet, desperate fire in my chest that refuses to go out.“I understand,” I say, voice soft but steady.I start to stand, already forming the words in my head. Thank you for your time. I appreciate the opportunity. Maybe someday, if things change—But then, just as I turn to leave, Gamma Aria speaks again.“Would you be willing to train under me?”I freeze.I glance back slowly, unsure if I heard her right. “Train under you?”Aria nods, folding her hands neatly on the desk. “I think you have strong potential to learn. You’re intelligent, you’re steady, and you clearly care about the pups. You're a perfect choice. I’d be
Forsaken Luna's Second Chance Chapter 41: Fairness
BEATRICESince returning, I haven’t seen Maxwell once.He hasn’t called, hasn’t asked to meet—not a word.And I don’t know why that stings the way it does. I keep telling myself it shouldn’t. We were never anything. He saved me. Protected me. But that’s it, right?Still… I can’t forget that night in the cave. The way he looked at me. The way he held me, so close and steady, like I meant something.But now, sitting across from the woman who had touched his shoulder, who had made him smile so easily while I stood off to the side feeling invisible—it’s impossible not to wonder.Is this the reason?Is she why he changed?I shake the thought off. This isn’t about Maxwell. This is about my future. My daughter’s future. I inhale slowly, straighten my spine, and give the woman my full attention.She’s poised, direct, and carries herself like someone used to giving orders. I already know I’d follow them.“Thanks for waiting,” she says with a firm nod. “I’m Gamma Aria. I’ll be leading your inter
Forsaken Luna's Second Chance Chapter 40: Gamma Aria
BEATRICEI pack Bailey’s lunch like I always do—small bites, easy to eat, her favorite fruits cut into heart shapes. She told me once that heart-shaped mango slices make her feel "ten percent more powerful," and I believe her.Today’s bento is extra neat. I don’t know why I’m being so meticulous—maybe because I’m nervous. Maybe because this interview means more to me than I’m willing to admit out loud. Or maybe I just want everything else to feel normal.We walk to school together like we always do. She holds my hand the whole way, chattering about her latest classroom art project and how her new classmate eats their sandwich with a spoon. I laugh in all the right places, nod, ask questions—but something feels off.It’s subtle. A whisper. A shift in the air.Like we’re being watched.I glance over my shoulder. No one’s there. Just a few parents and pups milling about, teachers greeting kids at the entrance. But my instincts tingle. Maybe it’s nothing. Maybe it’s just the nerves.Still,
Forsaken Luna's Second Chance Chapter 39: Life starts going on
BEATRICELife is starting to feel normal.Bailey and I no longer live in the pack house. We rent a small unit on the quieter side of town, just a short walk from her school. It’s nothing fancy — two rooms, thin walls, a creaky faucet that drips all night — but it’s ours. It’s safe. And I can finally hear myself think.We’re only able to stay here thanks to Petra, one of the warriors who used to guard me back when I was still considered a prisoner. Somewhere between late-night conversations and her sneaking me extra food, we became… friends. The real kind. The kind I didn’t think I’d have again.When I said I wanted to leave the compound and start fresh, Petra didn’t hesitate. She spoke to someone on the housing committee, pulled a few strings, and now Bailey and I have a roof over our heads. Rent-free — for now.I promised her I’d pay her back as soon as I started earning. She just shrugged and said, “Focus on getting your life back first. We’ll talk numbers later.”And maybe it’s my i
Forsaken Luna's Second Chance Chapter 38: Silence
BEATRICESomething's different.Maxwell hasn't spoken more than a few words to me since the ceremony. And it’s not just silence—it’s the kind that feels heavy, deliberate. Every time I try to say something, he nods or mutters a vague answer and turns away. No eye contact. No familiar calm in his voice. Just distance.Cold, quiet distance.I glance at him again. He’s sitting across the cave, arms folded, gaze fixed on the stone wall like he’s waiting for it to move. The warmth he showed me earlier—the steady, protective way he held me when we fell, the softness in his voice when he promised I’d be safe—it’s gone now.Vanished.I scoot a little closer, careful not to startle him. “What’s wrong?” I ask, keeping my tone light. “Is the rescue not coming after all?”His eyes flick to me. For a second, I think I see something in them—conflict, maybe. Guilt?But all he says is, “Don’t worry.”Then silence again.I lean back slowly, unsure what to make of it. What a strange man. Warm one second
Forsaken Luna's Second Chance Chapter 37: Mate
MAXWELLShe’s finally asleep.Curled into herself, her face half-hidden beneath my coat, breath slow but uneven. Even in rest, her brows are slightly furrowed — like she’s still fighting something in her dreams. It doesn’t surprise me. Beatrice has been fighting since the moment I met her.I sit a few feet away, watching in silence.There’s a strange stillness in this cave, tucked deep into the cliffside. Outside, the wind howls over stone and water, but in here, it’s quiet. Too quiet. It makes me think more than I want to. About the jump. About what she’s been through. About how close I came to losing her.I’ve fought wars. Killed enemies. Seen more blood than I can remember. But nothing tightened my chest like the moment I thought Enzo had gotten his hands on her again. I hadn’t even realized how panicked I was until she was gone.And now?Now she’s here, alive, asleep a few feet away—and I’m still shaken.I shift slightly, stretching my arm out before I can think better of it. My fi
Forsaken Luna's Second Chance Chapter 36: Become stronger
ENZOBeatrice actually jumped.I stand at the edge of the cliff, staring at the mist below, my hands trembling. For a moment, I don’t believe what I just saw. She wouldn’t… She couldn’t…Gamma rushes over. “Alpha, we can’t see the bottom. The river’s too rough—anyone who jumps is as good as dead.”No. I shake my head, refusing to accept it. “Search below. All of you. I don’t care how far it is—find her.”Beta Lukas steps forward, cautious. “We’ve already delayed too long. There are urgent matters in the pack that need your attention.”I ignore him, eyes still locked on the cliff’s edge.Thalia comes up behind me and wraps her arms around my shoulders. “She’s a traitor,” she says softly. “Even if we brought her back, she’d be executed. You did what you had to do.”But that was never my intention.I didn’t want her dead.I can’t say that out loud—not in front of them. I’m the Alpha. I have to act like this was justice, not loss. Like it was for the pack.But all I wanted was to bring her
