All Chapters of SECOND Chance MATE TO The LYCAN : Who dares Touch my LUNA: Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Laila's POV A heavy heart.That was all that remained after the anger that once burned in me had gone out, leaving only the smoke of what used to be fire. I pressed a hand against my chest, the twisting ache refused to let me breathe properly.I would never get to see him again. I would never get to hold him.What could be worse than that?Through my blurry gaze, I could still see his pretty wide blue eyes, his chubby cheeks and the sounds of his giggles and cries.“How did you die?” I whispered to the empty dungeon. “Were you scared? Were you crying for me?”My voice broke on the last word. I tilted my head back and stared at the cracks in the ceiling, counting them so I wouldn’t have to count the seconds I’d failed to protect him. I wondered who had really done it. Fiona? Or Kayla? Maybe both. Maybe none of them. Maybe the world just hated me enough to make sure I lost the only thing that mattered.Revenge had felt like purpose for a while. But now, even the thought of it was ho

Laila's POV It was more devastating finding out the odds were always against my little boy.He was always a fighter.Even when he was killed he returned to me, but I couldn't recall the rest of the story.My head rested against the cool glass, the ache behind my eyes steady and sharp. Why couldn’t I remember the rest? Why did my own mind feel like it was working against me?“Laila,” Alex’s voice cut through my trance. “Hey… Laila.”I blinked, jerking slightly. “Huh?”He gave a short sigh. “You zoned out. We’re here.”I looked around, realizing the car had stopped. The engine purred softly, headlights washing over a massive iron gate.Alex got out, came around to my side, and opened the door. “Come on.”The chill night air brushed against my skin. He extended his hand to help me out. I hesitated for a second then took it. When I stepped down, my breath hitched.Before me stood a towering structure of glass and stone. The lights shimmered across its sleek walls, reflecting the city s

Laila's POV My legs went dead as I shot him with a dubious look.“That's what you're here for?” I whispered, taking a step back.“No no you misunderstand,” he said quickly raising his hand. “I was trying to help a pretty girl before I recognized you.”I studied him warily, my heartbeat echoing in my ears. “What do you want?”“Relax,” he said, lowering his hand. “I’m not going to rat you out.”I frowned. “And why should I believe that?”He tilted his head, the faintest smirk tugging at his lips. “Because I hate your Queen as much as you.”I stared at him, searching for the lie. “She wants you dead or alive, so if you jumped it would save me the stress of fighting to get the reward.” He tried to convince me.I didn’t answer. My eyes drifted to the cliff again. The wind howled louder now, and for a second, I weighed my options.He must’ve noticed, because he said, “Can you fly?”“Fly?” I repeated, my voice trembling between disbelief and irritation. “Why would I—what kind of question is

Laila's POV “There has to be another way,” I said quietly. “I don’t even know another witch. And even if I did, I can’t just—kill someone.”The lady turned to me. “What about the seer?” she asked. “The one you’ve been talking about.”I froze. “The seer?” I shook my head fast. “No. No, I can’t. She’s been nothing but kind to me. I wouldn’t… I couldn’t do that to her.”She sighed, and looked back at the flames. “You’re a wolf,” she said after a long pause, “but you have healing abilities that no other wolf has ever had. There has to be a reason the moon goddess gave you that gift and it wouldn't make sense she took it away that easily, I think I know another way.”I hesitated, since the other idea always ended with someone dying.“What exactly do you have in mind?” I voiced, almost scared to ask.The woman rose from her stool, her footsteps silent against the floor. She moved to a wooden shelf lined with jars, dried herbs, and stacks of old leather-bound books.She reached for a book t

Laila’s POVOne time I would have told her she was lying, that I had no blood on my hands, but as my lips trembled to say I didn’t do it the face of that lady hunted me.The mermaid cocked a brow and I watched her smile grow.“You’re clueless?” She sounded amused. “How is that possible?”My hands felt clammy and I shook my damp hair.“I don’t know what you are talking about,”She slid silently across the water before reaching me as close as she could.“Oh but you do know what I’m talking about, you're a terrible liar I can see if in your eyes, I have no idea why you act like I'm lying.”“What is she talking about?” Theron questioned and I blinked looking in his direction trying to act unfazed.“I… I couldn't even defend myself.“Don't you see darling,” The mermaid floated just at the surface, her tail curling lazily through the black water. Her eyes glowed a faint, eerie white as she stared at me.“She’s a murderer and a liar,” she said flatly. “I am not a murderer,” I blurted weak
