Laila's POV

I gasped and jumped at the sound, scampering towards it. I was inspecting its wing when a shriek stopped me in my tracks.

I looked up just in time to see a massive shadow sweep across the flowers.

“It’s the mother my lady,” Teal yelled and I raised my hand to show I meant no harm.

She was much larger up close, her wings spreading wide in a shimmer of rainbow light. She descended fast, her cry deafening. The ground trembled as she landed a few feet away, pushing me backward. Her eyes glowed.

The small Phoenix let out a weak chirp, its head lifting toward its mother. She moved closer, her long neck bending down, nostrils flaring as she sniffed at the tiny creature.

Then, to my shock, she turned her gaze on me.

My breath caught. I didn’t move. I just stayed there, still as stone. The air around her shimmered with heat, but she didn’t lash out. She stepped aside slightly, as if… letting me near.

Teal’s voice came again from behind me. “The mother likes you, my lady. I think i

  • SECOND Chance MATE TO The LYCAN : Who dares Touch my LUNA   chapter 65

    Laila's POV My legs went dead as I shot him with a dubious look.“That's what you're here for?” I whispered, taking a step back.“No no you misunderstand,” he said quickly raising his hand. “I was trying to help a pretty girl before I recognized you.”I studied him warily, my heartbeat echoing in my ears. “What do you want?”“Relax,” he said, lowering his hand. “I’m not going to rat you out.”I frowned. “And why should I believe that?”He tilted his head, the faintest smirk tugging at his lips. “Because I hate your Queen as much as you.”I stared at him, searching for the lie. “She wants you dead or alive, so if you jumped it would save me the stress of fighting to get the reward.” He tried to convince me.I didn’t answer. My eyes drifted to the cliff again. The wind howled louder now, and for a second, I weighed my options.He must’ve noticed, because he said, “Can you fly?”“Fly?” I repeated, my voice trembling between disbelief and irritation. “Why would I—what kind of question is

    Laila’s POV“That’s insane.” Alex said gently, his eyes holding a look of sympathy that was getting to my nerves.He had changed into a tank top now wearing shorts, his hair ruffled up after taking a bath.“Why don’t you understand me,” I rubbed my temples pacing in the room.“Do you even understand yourself?” he exhaled. “You’re talking about resurrection, bring someone back from the dead.”“I did it once,” I urged.“What?” he gawked at me, his eyes going wide.“My baby died once, I brought him back.” My voice was hoarse as I explained.Alex leaned forward, cocking a brow. “You’re saying you brought the dead to life?”“I know it sounds crazy but I did it before, my baby died… somehow I brought him back.” I voiced my tone barely above a whisper.Alex shook his head. “Laila look, maybe what you’re saying is true, maybe it might be the reason he’s gone.”“What do you mean?” My eyes narrowed as I looked at him straight.“I’m saying he's gone and you’re in the third stage of grief, you

  • SECOND Chance MATE TO The LYCAN : Who dares Touch my LUNA   chapter 63

    Laila's POV It was more devastating finding out the odds were always against my little boy.He was always a fighter.Even when he was killed he returned to me, but I couldn't recall the rest of the story.My head rested against the cool glass, the ache behind my eyes steady and sharp. Why couldn’t I remember the rest? Why did my own mind feel like it was working against me?“Laila,” Alex’s voice cut through my trance. “Hey… Laila.”I blinked, jerking slightly. “Huh?”He gave a short sigh. “You zoned out. We’re here.”I looked around, realizing the car had stopped. The engine purred softly, headlights washing over a massive iron gate.Alex got out, came around to my side, and opened the door. “Come on.”The chill night air brushed against my skin. He extended his hand to help me out. I hesitated for a second then took it. When I stepped down, my breath hitched.Before me stood a towering structure of glass and stone. The lights shimmered across its sleek walls, reflecting the city s

  • SECOND Chance MATE TO The LYCAN : Who dares Touch my LUNA   chapter 62

    Laila's POV As the torch came closer, the heat seared my skin even before the flames touched the wood. Kayla’s face blurred behind it, her lips moving, but I couldn’t hear the words anymore. My mind was slipping, scattering into pieces.It was true what they said in your last moments, your life flashes before your eyes.The memories of the orphanage, my wedding day, my wedding night, the letters I was writing, it all came back.The goodbye message, the suicide note even the divorce papers it was all me. I wrote and signed everything.I was trying to protect Damien.But everything started far before that.Fiona.She had returned to the pack, now helping in the infirmary. My husband's first lover happened to show up with nothing but good intentions and I was told to look past it.I did at first, I told myself I was overthinking it. But one night, I saw the truth.I had gone to the infirmary only to see my worst fears come true.Fiona. Damien.Their lips pressed together.My heart stopp

  • SECOND Chance MATE TO The LYCAN : Who dares Touch my LUNA   chapter 61

    Laila's POV A heavy heart.That was all that remained after the anger that once burned in me had gone out, leaving only the smoke of what used to be fire. I pressed a hand against my chest, the twisting ache refused to let me breathe properly.I would never get to see him again. I would never get to hold him.What could be worse than that?Through my blurry gaze, I could still see his pretty wide blue eyes, his chubby cheeks and the sounds of his giggles and cries.“How did you die?” I whispered to the empty dungeon. “Were you scared? Were you crying for me?”My voice broke on the last word. I tilted my head back and stared at the cracks in the ceiling, counting them so I wouldn’t have to count the seconds I’d failed to protect him. I wondered who had really done it. Fiona? Or Kayla? Maybe both. Maybe none of them. Maybe the world just hated me enough to make sure I lost the only thing that mattered.Revenge had felt like purpose for a while. But now, even the thought of it was ho

  • SECOND Chance MATE TO The LYCAN : Who dares Touch my LUNA   chapter 60

    Laila's POV I stood frozen beside Kieran’s bed, my hands hovering over him, and the question burned in my mind. How could this happen? “Alex… what happened to him?” I asked, voice barely above a whisper, raw with disbelief.He shook his head slowly, running a hand through his hair. “I… I’m not sure, Laila. I found him like this. We called in the seer, she couldn’t help him.”I swallowed hard, my heart tightening. “His… his sister?” I choked out. “It was her. The same sister he spoke of, the one he was so proud of. He claimed he would have never turned his back on her, and yet she… she’s ready to sacrifice him for her… her taste for power.” My voice cracked, raw with anger and betrayal. I felt bile rise, but I pushed it down, focusing on the bed before me.Alex exhaled slowly, his eyes scanning me as if trying to gauge what I was capable of. He could sense I had changed. “I’ve seen you heal people, Laila,” he said carefully. “Maybe you… maybe you can help him.”I looked at him, feeli
