All Chapters of The Luna’s Second Life: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Nolan’s POV“What do you mean there’s still no lead on his whereabouts?” I barked, the frustration practically vibrating through my voice as I stared down at Rogan.The man before me didn’t flinch, but I could see the slightest twitch in his jaw. He knew this wasn’t a request.“I’ve covered every angle,” Rogan replied evenly. “Tracks dry up every time. Whoever’s helping Beta John knows how to cover their tracks.”I slammed my fist on the table, rattling the cups and papers. “Then find another angle. I don’t care how you do it; just find him. He’s been hiding for too long.”Rogan’s eyes darkened. “I’ll keep pushing, but you need to understand, this isn’t going to be quick.”The moment Rogan left, I knew time was slipping away. The three days Theodore gave me were almost up, and I still had no lead on Beta John. If Theodore found out, my failure would be on full display.I grabbed the comm-link and called the Omega.“Report,” I demanded.Omega's calm voice came through. “Alpha, Theodore,

Violetta’s POVI first caught the faint scent of smoke when coming down the corridor. It wasn’t the lingering kind from the kitchen or the comforting curl from the fireplace; this was sharper, heavier, and laced with blood and fear.I stopped, my pulse quickening. Then the shouts came, faint at first, then growing louder, and the hurried footsteps of warriors rushing toward the border.I grabbed the nearest guard by the arm. “What’s happening?”His eyes darted to the door. “Ironclaw attack. They’ve breached the northern side.”My stomach sank. The Ironclaw? Here?Before he could say more, I was already moving, shoving my way past the panicked shuffle of omegas. I didn’t need anyone to tell me to stay put. Sitting in my room while the pack was under attack wasn’t an option, not for me.I ducked into one of the weapon rooms, snatched a dagger, and slipped out the side entrance.The closer I got, the thicker the smoke became, curling around me like a warning I refused to heed. Screams an

Violetta's POVThe dim lightbulb swung from the inextensible cord connected to the ceiling, my vision regaining slowly but poorly. It was blurred, and I could hardly see where I was, but the room was so stuffy, I honestly wished I could breathe another way.The dust was clogging my chest, but I was gagged, and there was little I could do. Worse still, my wolf felt extremely weak, and thus I was extremely weak too.Just then, a dark figure walked into my line of sight. He squatted in front of me as I lay helplessly on a bag of what I hoped were sacks of sand and not something gross.His face was still too dark to form properly against the dim light, but when I heard his voice, my body shook violently.I couldn't mistake that voice even if I were dead.“Violetta Crescent, we meet again,” Beta John said, dragging my father's name with an extra crispiness to the last syllables. I attempted to raise my body, but my hands dragged my weight back down to the sacs. They were no use because the

Theodore’s POVSudden anger filled me; memories I didn't want to remember fueled it.“What freaking truth?! That my mother didn't just die and leave me alone in this world with an ice-cold father and a stepmother who never really wanted to see any good come out of me? There is no truth, Caleb; there is only life, and it has been as shitty as hell for me! That is the truth I have concluded with. There is nothing left.”“Your mother didn't wish that life for you.”“As well as yours?” I said, immediately regretting it. His eyebrows raised in surprise, and my wolf sank inside, sorry for even bringing his parents into it.“Caleb…”“Nah… you're good. Seems like you need to reflect on that shit on your own deeply.”“I'm sorry.”“Go to hell, Theodore. I would never say that shit to you.”Oh hell! “I'm sorry. It came out wrong. I didn't mean it.”But he was already out of my chambers before I could even finish half the sentence.“I cursed,” kicking against the wooden stool in the mini courtyar

Carissa's POVNolan rejected my advances?Something wasn't right. I turned on the shower, pretending like I was bathing already. But I stealthily went to the door and unlocked it. I peeped my head through the open space.I was right!Nolan was hiding something.“I have the bait,” he said, looking into the crystal ball. I stretched to see who it was, but his slight build covered the small crystal ball completely.I growled in frustration.“Heeva, I need your active listening now,” I said to my wolf. My hearing senses immediately heightened, and I could hear the conversation.So Nolan was baiting me to get to my father?I scoffed at his silly plan.Poor Nolan thought he had saved his runaway Luna from her captors. But that was different from the real event.Somehow, that witch of a girl had managed to find the route that led right to our underground cabin. She'd picked up my signature perfume scent, and her wolf had been sniffing all over the place. Worse still, she was with Theodore, a
