All Chapters of SECOND Chance MATE TO The LYCAN : Who dares Touch my LUNA: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Laila’s POV“I don’t have any powers,” I shook my head, taking a step back.“I won’t argue with you but it won’t hurt to check” Kieran encouraged and my lips twisted to the side as I considered my options.This might be a way to find out what was going on with me and if she confirms I have no powers Kieran would let me go.“I’ll take my baby with me,” I agreed, about to turn but his next words brought me to a halt.“You’re too dependent on that thing.”My stomach twisted at his choice of words. “That thing is my child,” I snapped. “It’s not bad to care for one’s child. Or did your parents never show you care at all?”The second the words left my mouth I wish I never said them. Despite his attempt to act like the words didn’t matter his eyes said otherwise. I turned away quickly, ashamed of hitting a wound I hadn’t meant to touch.Biting my lip, I looked towards where my baby laid. It would only be for a while.“I’ll go without him,” I conceded, taking a shaky step forward before balan

Laila’s POVThe cold only got worse the next morning.My respect for mothers skyrocketed as I forced myself to cater for my baby despite my sneezing and coughing.I rocked him gently in his small crib, when another cough tore through me.My nose stung, and I sniffled, but that only made me sneeze. The sound startled him, his tiny arms flailing before he whimpered.“I’m sorry,” I whispered, tucking the blanket around him. My head felt like a sledge hammer had been banged on it but his blue eyes gave me the motivation I needed to keep standing.Our semblance of peace was distorted when the door creaked open.I froze.The memory of the last time someone walked in uninvited clawed at me. My heart jumped into my throat as I turned sharply, clutching the edge of the crib.It wasn't her.It was Kieran.He stepped inside, his silver hair catching the morning light, eyes narrowing as soon as he looked at me.“What happened to you?” He asked feigning concern.“I’m fine,” I managed, though my vo

Laila's POV “Oh, His Royal Majesty, should I bow,” I teased, biting back a smile.He cocked a brow, his hazel eyes gleaming. “Are you mocking me?”“No, I would never, sire. It's just adding that last part required me to fall on my face and acknowledge your supremacy.”“I see why everyone talks about you,’ he huffed, shaking his head. “I'm Alexandros”“It's nice to meet you,” I said, chuckling before looking at my baby's stroller. “And… thank you. Honestly.”He shrugged slightly, a faint smile ghosting his lips. “I recall this is our second time meeting. The first time was in the library but you ran so fast I didn't get a chance to say hi.”My stomach tightened, remembering my first day in the pack when the guards had dragged me back to Kieran. “Right,” I murmured, forcing a small laugh. He chuckled under his breath. “You’re full of surprises.”Before I could respond, my baby threw his rattle again, bursting into giggles as it clattered on the ground. Alexandros bent, scooping it up

Laila's POV I was losing my mind.Those were the first thoughts that hit me as I slammed the door shut behind me. I shouldn't feel this way, I hated myself for it, for the ache that wouldn't stop no matter how much I tried to push it down.It shouldn’t hurt. It shouldn’t.I hated that bastard.I wasn’t his lover. I wasn’t his wife. Kieran didn’t owe me loyalty, it was the moon goddess that was forcing us to be together.If he wanted to be with another woman, that was his choice. But still… that image of him and her burned into my mind like a tattoo.I pressed my palms to my temples, shaking my head. “It’s the mate bond,” I whispered bitterly. “It’s not real. The pain wasn’t mine. It’s just the bond playing tricks on me, forcing me to want him.”It was absurd.He was the one violating the rules and I was the one facing the retribution.My gaze fell over to the crib where my baby was sleeping soundly. I walked over and brushed my fingers across his tiny forehead. “We can’t stay here,

Laila's POV Damien wouldn't hurt our child, he wouldn't.These words carried me as time went by even as I was bereft of hope.How long had it been, hours? Days? I lost count.I wasn't privileged to get a meal just water and my strength wanned. I laid helplessly on the floor till I heard heavy footsteps stop in front of my cell.I pushed myself up, though my limbs screamed in protest. Crawling toward the iron bars, I squinted into the shadows. A tall figure emerged from the dim light. For a second, I thought I was imagining it.But then that deep, unmistakable voice filled the air.“Do you know how satisfying it is to see you behind these bars?”Kieran.My chest tightened, my breath catching in disbelief and exhaustion. Of course, he’d come — not to help, but to gloat. I let out a bitter laugh that came out more like a choked sigh and leaned back against the wall, too tired to look at him.“I hope you are entertained” I said weakly.“I'm not, you defiled me, Laila and I had to come he
