All Chapters of Luna’s Second Chance : Chapter 41 - Chapter 45

Vera's POVThe moment the sun rose, I visited the training field again. I couldn't remember the last time I did some stretches and held a weapon. The training field was different, it felt different without Drew.His presence still hovered around even though he was gone. He was also quickly replaced by another man, another trainer employed by Phil. I guess the pack couldn't be left without a trainer.I trained on my own, away from the rest of the people on the field. I loved the early morning solitude and how the breeze found its way into my hair every time I threw a punch in the air.It was easy to hit the air with punches, there are no retaliations, just easy hits but then battling with someone, I have actually never tried it. Apparently, the need for that would come soon, with the upcoming war, it'd be necessary to train myself so as to defend myself when that time comes.As I punched and kicked the air multiple times, a voice echoed behind me. “Can you save that energy for a real f

Vera's POVI couldn’t contend with the jealousy in me; I couldn’t let it all out either. It felt difficult being around Phil now that his ex-mate, Lucy, was back in his life. And it felt worse that she was his breeder. After dinner, Phil called out to me before I could walk up to my bedroom.“Are you okay?” he asked me.Lucy's voice cut through our pending conversation. “Don't keep me waiting, Phil,” she said, making it obvious that she and Phil had a private thing to do. She strode away. It was killing me, and I wasn’t fine. I didn’t want to be selfish—Phil needed an heir, and it was what I couldn’t give him.I wrinkled my eyes. “Why shouldn't I be?”He watched me as if trying to read my mind through my eyes. He nudged his head over to his bedroom, indicating that I could be worried about him and Lucy. Of course, I was, but I would never show it.“You need an heir, Phil. I understand,” I assured him. But he wasn’t convinced.“Goodnight,” I said to him, and with that, I left. I could

Vera's POVPhil had called for another meeting at the pack hall. I could quite guess what it was all about already—what he was going to talk about at the meeting—but what I couldn't pinpoint was the look on his face. So stiff, unreadable.I wish I had talked to him first before he called for everyone, to know what this was all about exactly. It was likely about Drew or the upcoming war. Lucy and the maid Carol were the last people to walk into the hall before Phil began to talk.“I shall begin by asking if anyone here isn't aware of Drew's death,” he stated, darting his gaze around the room. Phil saw that no one was unaware of Drew's death and moved forward to whisper something in his beta’s ear. His beta left the room for a moment and returned with a familiar man.I had seen the bald-headed man a couple of times in the pack and sometimes I had wanted to ask Phil who he was, but somehow it always skipped my mind.“This is Mr. Ross, my physician,” Phil introduced the man to us. “And he
