Chapter 2 Like I was nothing.

2025-04-03 18:47:53BEATRICE The world feels like it’s closing in.
All the noise around me fades away. It’s like I’m not even in the restaurant anymore.
Enzo’s words loop in my head. I don’t care about you or your daughter.
I can’t breathe. He really meant every word of it.
I know Enzo has never liked me. Maybe he’s even hated me.
We were mates, and that meant he had to leave Thalia, the woman he really wanted. He married me out of duty, not because he chose me.
But I held onto hope. I thought the mate bond meant something because it did to me.
Maybe one day he’ll love me the way I love him. I feel so stupid for thinking that.
I know now that will never happen.
But knowing it doesn’t make his words hurt any less.
At least Bailey didn’t hear them. If she had… Goddess, I don’t even want to think about it.
She still believes her dad loves her.
If she heard him say he doesn’t care about us, it would crush her. It would take away that last bit of hope she’s holding onto.
Celeste suddenly jumps down from her chair and shoves me, then punches my arm.
“You ruined my birthday! I hate you!”
She bursts into tears like a child who didn’t get her candy.
Thalia gently rubs Celeste’s back. "Shh, it’s okay," she whispers.
"Sorry." Then she turns to Enzo and asks, "Did I cause any trouble?"
Thalia sounds so innocent and helpless, like I’m the villain in all this.
"I just…" she sniffles, looking down. "I just needed some company. Raising a child alone hasn’t been easy since my husband died in the Lycan war. We barely got by. I never wanted to be a burden. Alpha Enzo has been so kind to us… but if we’re causing problems, we’ll leave."
She turns to Celeste, taking her hand.
"Come on, sweetie. Let’s go."
I should feel sorry for her. I really should.
But all I can think about is Bailey.
Bailey spent her whole birthday waiting for her dad, and he was here instead.
How is that fair? What did my daughter ever do to deserve this?
Thalia starts to walk away, but Enzo stops her.
"You don’t have to go anywhere," he says without hesitation.
Then, without even looking at me, he adds, "Don’t worry about her. She’s just making a fuss."
His words hurt more than I want to admit.
That’s all we are to him… an inconvenience he can brush aside like we don’t matter.
We were never anything to him.
Just a joke.
“I’ll take you somewhere else,” Enzo says as he walks out.
And just like that, they leave—leaving me standing there, alone.
Enzo doesn’t even look back. He just walks away.
Like I was nothing.
Like Bailey was nothing.
The whispers around me get louder. I don’t catch everything, but I hear enough.
"She’s obsessed."
"It’s pathetic. Alpha Enzo clearly doesn’t want her."
"Who even is she? Just some bitter ex?"
"She’s making a fool of herself. Look, I guess Thalia might be our Luna."
My stomach drops. No one in our pack knows I’m their Luna. Enzo never told anyone outside our family. And he never gives me Luna's responsibilities. I’m never allowed to be involved in Luna's matters.
He never claimed me as his. I’m his wife, but only in name. Hidden away, ignored, and treated like an outsider in my pack.
To everyone, I’m just some desperate woman making a scene over a man who doesn’t want her.
"Let them judge," my wolf, Nyra, growls. "They don’t know anything."
She's right. I blink, snapping back to reality. I’m still standing in the middle of the restaurant.
It’s time to leave.
But I don’t lower my head. The last thing I want is for everyone to think I have something to be ashamed of.
I lift my chin and turn toward the exit. Let them judge me for all I care. I won’t give them the satisfaction of seeing me break.
I step out of the restaurant, only to see Enzo still standing there.
He lights a cigarette, his eyes scanning the dark like he’s waiting for someone.
Is he… waiting for me?
Did he change his mind?
A flicker of hope sparks in my chest. I hurry over and stop beside him.
He glances at me, but says nothing.
My throat tightens. "Bailey thinks you’re bringing her a gift."
He scoffs. "I never said that. That’s your problem. So, handle it."
He never learns how to speak like a decent man, does he?
My hands curl into fists at my sides.
Anger coils in my chest, hot and sharp. I’m just about to say something when her voice floats over, sweet as honey, soft as silk.
“Sorry, Enzo. Celeste took a while in the restroom. Hope we didn’t keep you waiting.”
I freeze.
Then I watch it happen.
That same face that looked cold and distant a second ago lights up, like flipping a switch.
He lifts Celeste into his arms, twirling her slightly, making her burst into delighted laughter.
He laughs with her, warm and tender.
Like a real father.
Of course. What was I thinking about?
He wasn’t waiting for me.
He never was.
He doesn’t see me. He doesn’t see Bailey.
To him, we’re nothing.

Forsaken Luna's Second Chance Chapter 105: Cowards.
MAXWELLBy the time we cut him down, he’s barely breathing—but his message burns like a brand across everything I love.The scout who finds the courier rides hard through the forest, blood spattered across his face, voice hoarse from shouting. I meet him halfway down the main slope, still pulling on my coat.“He’s strung up at the northern border,” he gasps. “Alive. But just barely.”By the time I get there, two warriors are working to lower the man’s body from the tree. He’s covered in bruises. Arms dislocated. Ribs broken. But clutched in his left hand—gripped so tightly his fingernails have cut into his palm—is a scroll.Sealed in black wax.I already know who it’s from.I snap the seal cleanly, ignoring the trembling in my fingers. The parchment is stained with water and something darker. Dried blood, probably. It doesn’t matter.The message is short.“Return my mate and my daughter, or I take them by force.”—EThat single initial makes my blood run cold.Enzo.His tone is casual.
Forsaken Luna's Second Chance Chapter 104: It's War
ARIABy the time the second report reaches my desk, I already know the first wasn’t a fluke.I’m saddling my horse before sunrise. The air still reeks of frost and smoke from last night’s embers, but there’s no warmth left in it—not after what we saw yesterday.Three wolves dead in West Hollow. Two children missing. A farmhouse left in pieces. At first, we told ourselves it was a rogue attack, maybe a skirmish gone too far.But the second village—Wrenhill? It wasn’t sloppy. It was surgical.And that terrifies me more than blood ever could.“Ready?” Micah, my second-in-command, mounts beside me.I nod. “Let’s go.”We ride hard through the valley trail, wind slapping against our faces. The terrain between Wrenhill and the border is difficult this time of year—muddy in some places, frozen in others—but that doesn’t slow me down.I need to see the site with my own eyes.The stench hits before the buildings come into view—burnt timber, blood, and the acrid tang of dark magic. I dismount sil
Forsaken Luna's Second Chance Chapter 103: Perfect score
BAILEYI’ve never been the fastest or the strongest—but today, something inside me wakes up like it’s been waiting for this moment all along.The instructor’s whistle cuts through the courtyard air, sharp and unforgiving.I stand in the middle of the testing circle, eyes narrowed, heart pounding like it’s trying to claw out of my chest. Around me, the other academy trainees watch in bored curiosity—some smirking, others barely paying attention. I’m not one of the elite kids. I wasn’t born into this. I ran into it.“Bailey Callahan,” the scout says, reading from a clipboard like my name means something. “Advanced agility and sensory test. Proceed when ready.”I take a breath.And then everything… shifts.The course explodes into life. Hidden traps. Pressure plates. Moving targets disguised in scent. The kind of thing designed to throw off wolves twice my age and size.But I move like I’ve done this a hundred times.I duck before I even see the branch swinging toward me. Vault over a tri
Forsaken Luna's Second Chance Chapter 102: Tonight is different
MAXWELLThe first time I crowned a Luna, I did it with ceremony and council blessing. This time, I do it with no permission but the moon’s.The courtyard is thick with energy.It’s not just the full moon above us, casting everything in silver-blue light. It’s the tension, the breathless anticipation, the kind of stillness that comes right before a storm. I can feel it in the way people shift on their feet, the low buzz of speculation humming beneath their silence.They all feel it.Tonight is different.I stand on the stone platform, dressed in black, the Luna crest cool and heavy in my hand. I turn it over once, then again, letting its sharp edges remind me why we’re here. Why I’ve waited this long. Why I’m done waiting.This isn’t about what Beatrice used to be.It’s about who she is now.And if the council wants to wag fingers and remind me of tradition, they can do it after I’ve made damn sure everyone knows who this pack belongs to.She walks into the courtyard like a shadow wrapp
Forsaken Luna's Second Chance Chapter 101: Shift
BEATRICEI don’t mean to move—but my body remembers what it’s like to protect before my mind has time to argue.The sky is clear when the first scream rips through the air.We’re just finishing drills outside the main training grounds. Aria has the senior trainees running paired takedowns. I’m across the clearing with the younger wolves, correcting a boy’s footing, when I hear it—a sharp, terrified cry from beyond the fence line.Then another.My head snaps toward the trees.Rogues.I smell them before I see them—iron and ash, sweat and blood. Ferals who haven’t shifted in weeks, some maybe longer. The scent of desperation clings to them like rot.Then I see her.A girl no older than Bailey, cornered near the far edge of the trees. Her wooden staff is broken in half, and she’s backing away fast, eyes wide, breath caught in her throat. The rogue in front of her is huge—long limbs, crazed eyes, teeth bared in a snarl.There’s no time to think.I run.I hear Aria shouting orders behind me
Forsaken Luna's Second Chance Chapter 100: Victim
BEATRICESome people throw stones to wound—Thalia always did it hoping I’d bleed in front of an audience.It’s market day, and the square is already packed by midmorning. Sunlight glints off barrels of sweet apples and stacked jars of honey, and the air smells like roasted meat and new bread. I’m weaving through the crowd, focused on picking up a few things for Bailey’s training meals, when I hear her voice—slick as oil, unmistakable.“Well, well,” Thalia purrs, just loud enough for others to hear, “didn’t think I’d see you out in the open.”I turn slowly.She stands across from me with a casual smile, too manicured for this part of town, holding a peach she hasn’t paid for. Her hair is braided like a crown, her tunic fitted perfectly. She always knew how to dress for a kill.I stay calm. I’ve learned not to show teeth too early.“I live here now,” I say evenly.“Pity,” she hums. “I thought you preferred shadows.”I glance around. The tension in the air shifts. People are beginning to
