All Chapters of Second Chance For The Broken Luna: Chapter 61 - Chapter 69

Krista*“Alright,” I said finally. “I forgive you Jacob. There, I’ve said it. I forgive you for breaking our mate bond so suddenly. You have my blessing to marry Laurel. That’s all, right?”I began to walk away but Jacob caught my wrist pulling me back. “I need to know it’s worked, Krista. I need you to come back to the pack with me, so we can speak to Elder Lenore.”Ah ha. There it was, the truth of what he wanted and had been dancing around for days. I shook my hand free immediately, shaking my head. “No. Absolutely not. You waltzed into my life? Okay. You say you need me to forgive you so you can marry the love of your life? Fine. But going back? Fat chance, Jacob. It’s not happening.”His eyes flashed with something that looked like both desperation and annoyance. “I’m not asking for your forgiveness for me, Krista. I’m asking because I need to give my pack a Luna. I need to—”“To what?” I cut him off, my voice rising. “To be uproot me from the life I have built here? To take me

Jacob*I stood outside the cottage, arms crossed over my chest, my posture rigid as I scanned the darkened forest. My senses stretched outward, hyper aware of every movement, every breath, every shift in the land. The men I’d stationed at the mouth of the forest remained in position, their minds connected to mine through the pack link, alert but silent. At the far western edge of the woods, a human woman was foraging for mushrooms, oblivious to the hidden world around her.And inside the cottage was Krista, alone with Kenan. A low growl rumbled in my throat before I caught myself and swallowed it down. My wolf was prowling inside me, restless and agitated.I clenched my jaw, pushing the thought aside and forcing myself to focus. I was here to keep watch, to make sure we weren’t ambushed before we could leave. That was all. But no matter how many times I tried to center myself and focus on the threat just some miles away in Eldeg, my mind kept circling back to them, to Krista tending

Krista*Kenan’s head rested against my knees, the weight of him keep me in the moment even as the room seemed to sway. I blinked hard, pushing past the dizziness curling around the edges of my mind. I had given him enough blood, maybe too much, but it was necessary. He wouldn’t have been able to heal without it. Even now, his body was still weak, but at least his breathing had steadied. That was enough for now.I combed my fingers through his hair, moving slowly and rhythmically. It always helped when he was like this, when sleep was hard to find after taking too much from me. His body needed the rest, but his mind resisted. This was the only way I could soothe him. I let my fingers drift through the dark strands, focusing on the familiar texture and what little warmness there was left of his skin. He was still too cold as his body worked overtime to heal itself. My own limbs felt heavy, my eyelids drooping for just a second too long, but I forced myself to stay awake. There was no t

Krista*It had been hours since we left the cottage, but no one had relaxed, not even for a second. Every step was careful, every ear tuned for the slightest noise. Though we hadn’t yet encountered any trouble, I could feel it looming over us like a storm waiting to break. It felt as if the world itself was holding its breath, waiting for something to happen.I adjusted the strap of my bag, rolling my shoulders to ease the ache settling in my muscles. Luke had long since fallen asleep in Jacob’s arms, his small body curled against his chest. It should have been a comforting sight, this proof that at least someone felt safe. But I knew better. Luke was just exhausted. He had no choice but to trust the people around him to protect him. And we would.As we walked, an odd scent crept into my nose, subtle at first but growing stronger the farther we went. It was foul and tangy, with a dampness that didn’t match the dry earth beneath our feet. It took me a few minutes to place what it remi

Krista*"You don’t need my help, Krista." My wolf’s voice was unbothered, even as my world threatened to collapse around me.I could barely breathe. My pulse was pounding, my entire body screaming at me to move, to do something, but I couldn’t. Jacob and Luke were seconds away from being ripped apart, and my wolf was speaking in riddles."What are you talking about?" My voice was raw, desperate. "I don’t have time for this—just help me!"A sly look entered her golden eyes. She tilted her head, a slow, knowing smile curling her lips. "Why do you think you need me?"I blinked at her, my heart hammering as if it wanted to burst out of my chest. "Because I can’t stop this! I can’t get to them in time!""Who said you needed to get there?""What?!"Her gaze flicked toward the wolf mid-leap, its monstrous body sailing through the air, fangs bared and glistening. I was too far away. Jacob didn’t see it. I was going to lose my son."Tell me, Krista," she mused, her voice smooth as silk. "What
