Lahat ng Kabanata ng Luna Scarlett's Second Chance: Kabanata 131 - Kabanata 140

Scarlett's pov “Is kissing the Alpha the new way to negotiate now?” I roll my eyes at Danis’s tease and try not to flip him the middle finger. I’ve gotten more brazen since I got here and I don't know if that’s a good thing or a not-so-good thing. Danis chuckles but he doesn’t stop. “Is your tongue swollen so much that you can’t speak Scarlett?” I turn and give him stink eyes, eyes at which he appropriately grins and gives me a knowing look. I’m sure he knows what Roman and I were doing. What we can’t seem to stop doing, and yes, he’s agreed to me putting myself in danger so I can get the necessary revenge for him, but I didn’t put it that way when I asked him to let me go to the Nightshade pack with wolfsbane for Hunter. “Is Roman ready for work now?” I frown and shake my head at Fen’s question, but he grumbles behind me and asks the one question I do not want to answer. “Do you have an injury on your mouth Scarlett?” Danis snickers. “Or maybe Roman took it out while….?” I

Scarlett's povDanis drives through the gates of Hunter’s mansion and soon we’re at the parking space. He parks beside Hunter’s cream Cadillac and I disregard the resentment that comes with me seeing the rows and rows of cars he has.He buys them down to gift to his women. The ladies who sleep with him and get into his bed despite knowing he’s a married Alpha, and despite knowing he brings them to our house, or rather his house, because I don’t live here anymore.“Scarlett.”My head snaps to meet Danis and the moment our eyes lock the golden flecks in his gleam. Magic flows between us and I feel it latch onto my necklace. It becomes light and heavy at the same time and then he’s done.Danis nods and I look away, bending to pick up the silver suitcase that weighs a ton but which I insisted I carry anyway.“How do you plan to confront the lady in there who was listening through you?”Danis stills slightly and I feel an icy wind blow. When I look at him there’s a foreign kind of deadline

Quinn confirms something I've known for a while now. Hunter is an animal. I don’t think there’s a human side to him. I wanted to believe there was. That deep down something in him curls when he does these things. That something in him protests when he has an old lady shackled and whipped by his guards because she couldn’t give him the results he wanted. The marks were red and furious on her back when Quinn showed them to us and I could see flashes of pity on Danis’s face as he numbed the flesh there. She had been crouching because of them. We’ve promised to get her out, but she has to keep her end of the deal. She’s agreed and now…… now Danis is as silent as a graveyard as we ride back to Ironclaw Corp. My heart pounds softly in my chest and something static resides in my bones. I feel still. I need Roman. At the thought of him, our mate bond pulses softly and I chase that feeling. The feeling of his strong arms and his comfortable heat. The way he can be a rock I lean on and

Roman is heaving when I get to him.I can tell he’s trying to control himself in the way his chest rises and falls. The call with Hunter has been cut and now I'm at the door to Roman’s office, eyes locked with him because the mate bond has alerted him of my presence, and ….. oh. The lady who’s seated right before him turns to face me and cold surprise seeps into my bones, because she looks very similar to a certain person who caused my mate a lot of pain recently.“Did I do something wrong, Alpha Roman?”She turns to face me fully and I can see the resemblance hit me full on.She looks like Elara.An uncanny lot like her, but there are differences.I haven’t seen much of Roman’s former mate to know exactly what she looks like, but that moment he pushed a vision of her into my mind is still branded heavily into it.I step into the office, my eyes on Roman and I take the seat beside her. She looks from me to Roman and I let the mate bond open up more between the both of us. I pass my m

Roman doesn’t speak of the new development,He’s out of his office when I get there. He picks up when I call him, but only to tell me he’s going to be fine and I shouldn't feel too worried. He’s an Alpha, he can take care of himself.I wanted to ask where he was, also if I could come there, not to disturb him but to simply hang around, maybe get us some ice cream and cook some food.Anything to see a smile on his face and see him happy. He asked me to check my desk for a surprise and I found another pencil sketch there.This time he drew it from his viewpoint, not the omniscient technique he used earlier.I see myself etched out in sharp lines, my ebony hair curling slightly at the tips, my glasses perched on my nose and he even captured the fine details of my dress.A smile tugs at my lips as I remember it now and the seriousness on the face of mini-me made me almost not recognize myself. Do I get into character when I'm pretending to be Vivienne? Or is that just how Roman sees me?I
