Laila's POV

“Are you serious? About… the stealing part?” My voice involuntarily went low.

The lady looked at me with a mock expression as if it should be obvious. “If you were asked to give up your powers would you?”

I paused as the question caught me off guard.

Would I?

If another mother had come to me and said the only way to save their child was for me to give up these powers, would I have been able to give them up?

It wasn't an easy choice.

Fortunately, Theoron spoke before I could respond,

“We don't have the luxury to waste time, I've already wasted enough time we had a deal Laila.” Theron said his voice was almost a plea.

I looked at the bald healer, my hand folded as if in prayer. “Can you heal him?”

She shook her head. “I already did what I could, you saw the way I healed your lover, my powers are deteriorating.”

I looked back at Theron feeling a little pang in my chest. He had kept his part of the deal and I couldn't hold my own end.

“Can I see your brother?” I asked and he

  • SECOND Chance MATE TO The LYCAN : Who dares Touch my LUNA   chapter 73

    Laila’s POV“Wait… I froze when she rushed to block the doorway staring at the paper in her hand with a cunning look in her eye.I clutch the book closer to my chest as I took a step back, almost tripping on some broken wood but caught my balance at the last minute.“What do you want?” I muttered, eyeing her suspiciously.She looked back at me, her eyes resting on the book.“You’re leaving already? I thought you wanted to try the resurrection spell”“I can help you find the spell,” she said, already leaning slightly forward, fingers stretching toward the book.“Don’t touch it.” The words snapped out of me before I even thought.Her eyebrows lifted. “I’m only offering help.”“Help?” I stepped away, keeping her from the book. “Everyone else gives warnings. They all say the same thing—‘it’s dangerous, but you…” I pointed at her. “You’re the only one who actually encourages it. You’re the only one pushing me to try it.”She exhaled slowly, amused. “And that alarms you?”“It makes me wonde

  • SECOND Chance MATE TO The LYCAN : Who dares Touch my LUNA   chapter 72

    Laila’s POVSometimes the heaviest part of grief is the silence it leaves behind.I sat on the shore long after the mermaid left, my heart numb and I felt a bit overwhelmed.What was my purpose?I used to strongly believe everyone had a reason for being created but as I sat there, I wasn't so sure.Just like background characters in a movie, maybe some of us were just fillers to the main character’s story.I stared at the rippling surface, uselessly waiting for someone to tell me what to do next. What was the next part of the script?I got what I wanted, my powers and hell a book that might be able to help… but now I was scared to use them.I couldn't get my baby.Theron would forever hate me.I made a vow to break the mermaid's curse while all the same have limited time to return the book to avoid another curse.And the hardest part were the people that had to die for these powers.It was easier to avoid it before, but now I have seen their faces and seen others who got affected… I c

    Laila's POV “Ohhhh… the plot thickens,” the mermaid’s voice cut through the tension, almost delighted.My heart dropped as I watched the light fade from his eyes as the last fragments of the woman’s face faded into nothing.Theron didn’t step back. He stood rooted at the edge of the lake, fists shaking, chest rising unevenly. His expression wasn’t shock anymore. It was anger.He stared at the water like he wanted to tear it in half. “Was that true?” he demanded. “Did you kill her?”“What? No—Theron, I told you, I don’t remember everything but I didn’t kill—”“You didn’t kill anybody,” he snapped, mocking my tone. “That’s what you keep saying. You don't mean to hurt anybody but that’s what you do. First my brother, now my mother—”“I didn’t—” My voice cracked, and the panic rising inside me felt like a physical hand squeezing my ribs. “I don’t remember killing anyone. I swear to you.”He moved toward me so fast the wind stung my cheeks. His hand shot up, fingers curled like claws, his

  • SECOND Chance MATE TO The LYCAN : Who dares Touch my LUNA   chapter 70

    Laila's POV “I have every right to be mean, to taunt you, to even kill as I please and say no to your requests.” She continued as if her tone wasn’t sharp before, it echoed now.“So there’s no way for you to leave this place at all?” Theron asked.“There is a way,” she answered, flicking her tail. “But I doubt either of you are foolish enough to take it. I can only leave if someone willingly replaces me. Someone who chooses to be bound to the lake in my place.”Theron and I both snapped our heads toward each other.There was no way we would accept the deal.I came for my baby.He came for his brother.We both had who we had to watch out for and spending eternity as a mermaid in a place I couldn't protect or get to hold my child was worse than him being dead.Before either of us could speak, the mermaid made a sharp unimpressed sound. “I don't blame you, don't judge me too. I’m done granting favors for free. Wolves come with desperate requests, offering nothing, except lies and false

  • SECOND Chance MATE TO The LYCAN : Who dares Touch my LUNA   chapter 69

    Laila’s POVOne time I would have told her she was lying, that I had no blood on my hands, but as my lips trembled to say I didn’t do it the face of that lady hunted me.The mermaid cocked a brow and I watched her smile grow.“You’re clueless?” She sounded amused. “How is that possible?”My hands felt clammy and I shook my damp hair.“I don’t know what you are talking about,”She slid silently across the water before reaching me as close as she could.“Oh but you do know what I’m talking about, you're a terrible liar I can see if in your eyes, I have no idea why you act like I'm lying.”“What is she talking about?” Theron questioned and I blinked looking in his direction trying to act unfazed.“I… I couldn't even defend myself.“Don't you see darling,” The mermaid floated just at the surface, her tail curling lazily through the black water. Her eyes glowed a faint, eerie white as she stared at me.“She’s a murderer and a liar,” she said flatly. “I am not a murderer,” I blurted weak

  • SECOND Chance MATE TO The LYCAN : Who dares Touch my LUNA   chapter 68

    Laila’s POV“Whoa,” I voiced in awe, her skin glistening even in the dark lake, her luscious red hair falling in waves pooling down to the meeting of her green tail.My breath caught as I took in the shimmer of her green tail, the red waves of hair floating around her shoulders. This… this was real. A mermaid, right in front of me.Creatures you only see in books and myths and I was standing right in front of one.She glanced in my direction, her eyes, pale as sclera, she looked so breathtaking, so poised, so unimaginably glorious… well that was until her expression turned dark.Her lips curved at the sides, her eyes flashing and before I could even blink, I felt something tug at my legs—something cold, slick, and impossibly strong.“Urh!” I gasped, but before I could finish, the world tilted. With insane force, I felt my legs jerk as the water surged up around me, dragging me forward with a violent splash. In one swift movement the lake swallowed me whole.My lungs were deprived of
