The Luna's Second Chance Mate novel Chapter 6

LARISSA

The impact of my body crashing to the floor painfully woke me up. I winced in pain as it was my arm and head that had the most contact with the floor. The room was filled with light, even with my eyes closed, I could feel the brightness of the room on my face. Then slowly I tried to open my eyes, they felt heavy but I took it slow. There were two figures in front of me. I blinked severally and saw Katya and Stefan watching me.

Katya had a smirk on her face and I knew she was the one who pushed me from the bed. But when I looked at Stefan, I felt a great pain in my chest and suddenly all the memories of last night came back to me; the assault on me, watching them both make love and Stefan agreeing to divorce me and marry Katya.

I remembered the things they said and it brought tears to my eyes. They both watched.

"Please Stefan d–don't do this." I cried, grabbing him by the leg.

He stared at me in disgust and withdrew his leg from my grasp.

I turned my eyes to Katya instead, surely she still had a heart, all I needed was for someone to stop Stefan from calling anyone and just take pity on me.

"P–p–please Katya, don't let this happen to me, I don't have a–anywhere to go. I can't go back, I just… "

She landed a dirty slap on my face before I could finish talking and said, "Why the fuck would I do that? You had the chance to be the wife of an alpha, to rule by his side, to be a queen and yet somehow you blew it. But don't worry, I won't." She said and kicked my arm away from her.

I fell back in pain, sprawled on the floor holding my arm. More tears fell from my eyes.

Stefan pulled Katya close and whispered something into her ears. She nodded, gave me one last dirty look and left the room.

Stefan's phone rang again just as he was going to say something. He picked it up and started walking towards his room.

I had to know what he was talking about so I closed my eyes and focused my mind towards there:

"What have you found?"

"Uh... Good morning alpha. We're still working on it."

"I pay you fools for feedback during situations just like this and now it is needed you can't even get me the fucking name of the person or at least what the fuck they look like."

"Forgive me, we have something we just…"

"Sorry for yourself. Do you have something useful to tell me or not?…You said he walked her back to the pack and kissed her?"

"Uhh… Yes my lord."

My heart skipped at those words. I put two and two together and knew what they were saying. But before I could do anything, Stefan entered the room. He was already fully dressed.

He eyed me and said, "Better don't get any stupid ideas. If you try to run, you will be caught and your punishment will only be worse." He said and left.

When I was sure he was gone, I quickly dialed Joy on my phone.

"Hello, Good morning ma'am."

"Joy, I need your help."

"I'll be right there." She said and the line went silent.

In about twenty seconds, she was already in my room. I pulled her in, checked if anyone was watching then shut the door.

"Kylian is in danger."

I watched as her eyes widened in surprise.

"I don't understand ma'am. Did something happen?" She asked with concern in her voice.

I sighed, "I'm sorry Joy. I shouldn't have let him walk us back that night, now people are saying he's my lover. Stefan's already heard about it and now he's searching for him. I need you to go warn him, Joy. Everyone is already whispering about this but none of them knows the full story. They are going to twist this and make it look very bad, Joy. You have to warn him. "

I half expected her to run off immediately, instead she just stood there staring at me with glassy eyes. Then all of sudden she enveloped me in a hug.

"It's not your fault, Larissa, I won't let anything happen to any of you." She said quietly then bolted out of the room at once.

Joy had never called me by my name before, but from the look in her eyes it was almost as if she knew what I was going through, like she understood.

Stefan came back later. He made a phone call before driving with me to the meeting hall.

It was a very quiet drive. All I could think about was the amount of shame my family would feel when they heard what Stefan had to say. No doubt the footage from the other night had been edited to support his accusation against me. Denying the accusations would only make me look more shameless.

The car came to a stop and I knew we had arrived but when I finally looked up, I saw that we weren't at the small meeting hall, but at the square. Then it dawned on me. This wasn't a meeting with the elders, it was a trial with the pack!

When everyone settled down, Stefan began, "I'm sure you are all wondering why I insisted on having this meeting right away. That is because it is an urgent matter. Larissa and I are getting divorced."
