The Luna's Second Chance Chapter 18
Isabeau's POVWith a deep breath, I muster the courage to spin a tale that will hopefully quell any doubts or suspicions. "I went for a stroll near the pack's border," I began, my voice steady despite the turmoil within. "Unbeknownst to me, I wandered a little too close to where some rogues were hiding and they attacked me."Gasps escape my parents' lips as they exchange worried glances. "But fear not," I continue, my gaze shifting to Loic, who stands beside me, his expression composed and supportive. "Loic appeared out of nowhere, like a guardian angel. He fought off the rogues and protected me from harm.Even though I was safe, I was a little shaken up by the experience and Loic kindly nursed me back to health before escorting me back home.” I silently pray to the moon goddess that my lie is believable.Relief washes over my parents' faces as they turn their attention to Loic. Gratitude fills their voices as they thank him profusely. "We can't express how thankful we are for your b

Isabeau's POV"Caught in the act, eh?" Aello's jest finally seems to draw me out of the sea of Loic's eyes which I had been lost in.I force my hand out of his grip and back away quickly, as if I had been burnt.If the action bothers him, he doesn't show it."Good morning Isa, did you sleep well?" He asks with a sweet smile, managing to keep the mood light despite the awkward situation."Forget about that, what are you doing here?" I question, trying to regain my control of the situation."I missed you, I wanted to be near you." He speaks casually, sitting up gently and I try to ignore the fact that his bed hair makes him cuter. "I thought we talked about this last night, such behavior is unacceptable here. If we're caught together, it'll only cause problems for me." I try to sound as calm as possible."I'm sorry, I didn't mean to cause you problems. It's my first time sleeping in a room and on a bed. It was really uncomfortable and I felt very lonely. I've had your company for three

Isabeau's POVAs I close the door behind me, leaving Alaric and I alone, his gaze bores into me with an intensity I have never seen before. Gone is the usual look of disgust, irritation, or disinterest he often gives me. Instead, his eyes hold an unsettling amount of anger and something dark and sinister, something so dark that even Aello can sense is not to be taken lightly. My heart skips a beat at the danger in his gaze, and I can feel the weight of his fury pressing down on me."So the rumors are true, then," Alaric deadpans through gritted teeth, his voice laced with a mix of anger and something else that I can't quite place."What rumors?" I reply, feigning innocence and raising an eyebrow as if I have no knowledge of the gossip circulating throughout the pack.The fury on Alaric's face twists even deeper. "Don't play dumb with me, Isabeau. Leocadia told me everything. She says you've been cheating on me, even going as far as to bring your lover into your home.At first I couldn

Isabeau's POV“You are a shame to this Pack and we'll pray that someone like you will never be born again." "You're a curse to this world, Isabeau. You brought calamity on Stellan and you will do the same to everyone who ever dares to come close to you.""Do you really think you can run away? You can't escape this fate, Isabeau. You've been marked for death. Your ending is set in stone, you can't escape it. Slowly but surely, the time draws nearer for you to free the world of your existence….."My eyes snap open, and I gasp for air as I wake from the vivid and unsettling dream that cruelly plagued my mind. I feel a tap on my shoulder and flinch."Isa, are you alright? Is something wrong?" My mother asks, her voice dripping with concern.I look from her to the three other women in the room and I instantly understand the situation."I'm fine, mum. I just had a nightmare." I speak monotonously, still trying to recover from the horrors of the night."Today is your special day, Isa, it's

Isabeau's POVHe came! But why? As everyone is trying to process the interruption, the Lycan King's voice booms across the room, demanding an immediate halt to the proceedings. “This wedding shall not continue," he declares, his voice echoing with authority. Gasps and murmurs fill the space as the guests try to comprehend the unexpected turn of events, I included.Alpha Dillion, Alaric's father, steps forward, his voice laced with anger. "How dare you?! Who do you think you are, interrupting my son's wedding?" he challenges, his tone intimidating and defiant. But even he, the leader of our pack, cannot mask his unease in the presence of the formidable aura radiating from the man before him."I am King Stellan," he announces, his voice carrying authority that resonates through the hall. Gasps of recognition fill the air, for everyone knows of his power and influence. There's not a soul who doesn't know him. To everyone in the hall, he is the legendary ruler whose famous power and ru

Isabeau's POVKing Stellan turns back to face me, his eyes searching mine as if to confirm my sincerity. "Are you sure about this, Isabeau? Once we begin, there's no turning back."I nod, taking another deep breath, steadying myself. "I'm sure."And with those words, our fate is sealed, bound together by a pact that holds both promise and uncertainty. King Stellan smirks approvingly, he takes my small hand in his large ones, sending light tingles down my spine. "A wonderful choice, dearest," he says, his possessive tone surprising me. "Well then, It's time to let everyone know who you truly belong to."I try to tame the blush that rises to my cheeks at his words. I nod at him, and try to steady my nerves as we re-enter the hall where my mating ceremony was supposed to be taking place. The attendees are all gathered in groups and clusters, all gossiping about the drama they had just witnessed minutes ago.The room falls deadly silent as people notice our return. At the front right

Isabeau's POV"You're really not gonna let this happen, will you?" Leo yells, her voice filled with frustration. "Isa doesn't know what she wants, and you're just letting her ruin her life!"As we enter the house, I find myself standing just out of sight, watching as Leo furiously confronts our parents.Ever since we left the hall she has completely ignored me and has chosen instead to do her absolute best to convince our parents to stop me from leaving with the King. What she doesn’t know is that I’m already way ahead of her in my plans. I already knew that my parents would definitely not have accepted the union if I had married just anyone. That was why I specifically put extra effort into making King Stellan marry me. Because everyone knows about his ruthless ways so no one— not even my parents or Alaric's parents will be dumb enough to go against him.My father, looking tired of Leo's constant complaints, responds calmly, "Sweetie, for the hundredth time, Isa is an adult and has m

I really can't understand it. How did it come to this? How is it that I, who's never looked at a woman with passion, desires a complete stranger so much?
