LUNA'S SECOND CHANCE AT LOVE

I keep looking outside the window, hoping that the cars will move today of all days. I had to be stuck in a traffic jam."F*ck it," I cursed, pulling my heels off."Drop me off here," I said to the taxi driver, and I started running immediately after my feet touched the ground.You might be wondering why a girl in such gorgeous heels suddenly decides to run to my location instead of waiting for the cars to move. Well, if I am any more late than I am right now, my boss will chop my head off.Well, my name is Alexandria Cage. I am a single mother of two children and a she-wolf. I work as the head banquet server for DC Wedding Limited. It is run by the hellcat Maggie Robbin. The worst boss you could ever ask for, but at least the pay is good.Today, one of her biggest clients, also a bigger hellcat than her, is getting married. Although I haven't met the woman, her demands from us showed everyone who she is because she loved to make last-minute changes and refused to come to our office

I opened my eyes slowly because my head felt like someone was drumming inside it. I shook my head for a couple of seconds, trying to make my vision clear. I grabbed what I assumed to be a pillow, plopped over it, and then inhaled. This place smelled so nice, just like chocolate, fresh flowers, and then that musky cologne that I could remember from anywhere.I pushed up immediately, then groaned because the movement took a toll on me. I clutched my head."I take it that you have recognized where you are." A voice I knew to be Hayden said.I opened my eyes immediately, and there he was leaning over the wall. He pushed away from it and then walked to the bed."How are you feeling?" He asked me, but I was more concentrated on his body. His hair kept dripping water, showing that he just showered, and due to how close he was to me, I could smell his spicy shower gel, which I loved so much when we lived together.I moved down to his abs, which were on full display since he wore only black

"Do you want something to drink?" Hayden asked me, but I refused to say a word, not only because I did not want to give him any attention but because I might start cursing him in front of my babies.He chuckled. "Get her some wine and water for me."The lady nodded, and then made to leave, but I called her name."Shantel, Get me water, not wine. Maybe his lying ass is trying to get me drunk."When I finished talking, I looked at my children in shock because I had forgotten that they were here for a second and cursed. But thankfully, they were busy watching a carton and had headphones on."Thank God," I murmured, but when I looked at him, his face was grim and his eyes were hardened.""No one is allowed to talk to me like that, not even my mate, because...""Your mate?" I asked. "More love like your prisoner and the last thing I want to do is talk, see, or smell anything related to you."His mouth curled in what could be called a smile, and the way his eyes were glistening, I knew he w

Even though the weather was cold today, somehow I was sweating. I kept cleaning my hands in my dress because I was trying to find a way to keep myself busy. Hayden was in front with the children, while the guards secured us from all corners as we headed into the pack house. Where his stepmother and her son lived too. Suddenly, it felt like five years ago, nervous and giddy, Alex, the cleaner's daughter, entered the house with Hayden's hand on hers. So trusting, I believed the smile on their faces and shared a hug with Ann, who told me to feel free to call her mother that day but warned me not to call her that a few days later when Hayden was not present. But I was a fool then, and I endured all that, telling myself that it was an honor to be a member of this family.I sighted the swing that I always came in the evening to clear my head and blame myself for wanting my fantasies instead of making do with what the moon goddess had given me, but after every sacrifice, all I got was a be

He gave me water, but I grabbed another one from the table. He threw the remaining pancakes into his mouth and stood up."Don't forget the dress; you need it for tonight. The servants will take care of the children all day; if you want them to, I know you would love to take them along to shop for the clothes. So I selected some guards for you; take them along."He went over to them, then bent and said, "Give Daddy a kiss."They kissed him, then he stood up. They kept waving at him till he went out of the door. After we finished eating, I offered to help, but the servants would not let me. So I just took my twins to our room.After I taught them for a few minutes, they started to practice their math by themselves. I kept watching them, then I fell asleep.I was woken by a loud knock on my door. I thought that it was Shantel checking to see if he could give us anything, but when I opened the door, I saw Ann, who had a big frown on her face.Hayden is gone, so she no longer needs to pret
