Lahat ng Kabanata ng Luna Scarlett's Second Chance: Kabanata 201 - Kabanata 210

Scarlett’s pov.Roman breaks the news to me the next day. His father wants us to attend his mum’s memorial.I chuckle and frown warily, “But we’ve always attended your mum’s memorial. We did it last year.”Roman nods and guides me close to him with his hand behind my neck. I kiss him because it seems he needs it and because I like it and Roman sighs afterward. It’s a content sigh but it’s also a sigh that tells me something is up so I lean into him and place my arms on his chest, overlapping my hands and placing my chin on it as I stare up at him.“What’s up?”I know he didn’t sound happy when I asked him to keep an eye out for Elara, and while I know it’s going to be hard for him to do it, if that’s what’s making him this way then I'll ask him to drop it.There’s no amount of information I could get on Elara that would make me compromise Roman’s happiness.Roman’s voice is sullen as he responds.“My father said my mum knew something was up.”When my eyebrows crease in confusion Roman

I'm all smiles when I get ready to go to the clinic with Roman. Doing it brings tears to my eyes actually because I realize I've done this before. I’ve gotten ready to go to the hospital once, an expectant but totally new mother. Hunter had been excited then. He’d kissed me goodbye, but he didn’t take time out of his work to come be with me as I went through the cycle of appointments and checkups and visits. We didn’t do a scan to determine the gender of the baby, and thinking back on it now, that might have been my saving grace. Hunter could have done things to make sure I didn't give birth to Maya. I know it like I know him. “Is your purse lost? I can help you find it.” Roman sounds so concerned I chortle and shake my head, “It’s nothing, I've found the purse already, we can go now.” He opens the door for me, an action that causes me to roll my eyes and giggle, then he links our fingers together, swinging it lightly as we walk, him still fully dressed in his forest green suit

Roman leads me back to the car like I am an egg, a very precious egg he is treating extra special now and I laugh so much I can barely hold myself together.When we are in the car, Roman collapses into his seat and takes a deep breath, letting an exhale out while he holds my hand in his.Roman’s hand is warm and I can feel the heat coming off him.I can feel subtle stings running through the mate bond we share and I look at him with a smile on my face.Roman looks at me from the corner of his eyes and all of a sudden I am being pulled towards him. I move willingly, and carefully, and he places me until I'm straddling him, my face bare inches from his. He kisses me.Roman’s lips meet mine in a steady and passionate motion, his mouth battling softly with mine and capturing a lip with each kiss he gives me. His arms wrap around my back and they pull me closer to him.Roman descends to suck on my neck and the action lets a soft moan escape my lips.Roman places a peck there, something tha

Scarlett's pov.The commotion dies down immediately and not a word rings out from the small gathering of werewolves.The sight before us is an unpleasant one and confusion courses through my veins. The warrior wolves present all give the Ironclaw salute to their Alpha and when Roman stares back at them, it’s hard and dark. His voice is foreboding as he asks again. “What is the meaning of this? Why is my Beta in chains?”I feel unsureness ripple through the small crowd. It’s surprising to me because I'm sure I felt a lot of tension rising off them a second ago.Fenrir releases a low growl and I see the shiver that runs through the members of the pack present. Their silence is suspicious and I can tell Roman is having none of it.Before he can bark at them in anger properly I walk over to the nearest warrior and stretch out an opened palm. There’s a sign of a slightly clenched chin, but he does what I want all the same.He drops the keys to the chains into my palm and I make my way ove

Roman stays in the forests for a while.I try to see if I've regained more strength, and I have, just not enough to get up and walk. A part of my head wants me to believe it’s because of the baby.I’ve been getting tired easily lately, but it’s never hit me this hard before. Roman’s eyes - Fen’s scream…The way that force simply grazed me for a second but sent pain barrelling into me. Has he always been able to do that?My mind tries to come up with an explanation and brush it away as a new ability, or one he’s just never told me he had, but I can't get that image out of my head.The image and the feeling…. and FenI visibly sink deeper into my seat as I think of that.The video…. I can’t believe it. Fen and Elara? I don’t want to believe it. I can’tHe’s been Roman’s most trusted friend for so long. I’ve never seen Roman speak to anyone else the way he speaks to Fen. The relationship between them as friends has been admirable, and Fen has been with us through so much.I drag myself
