The Substitute Luna’s Revenge
DramaFirst-Person POVAlphaHidden IdentityFace-SlappingSubstitute Bride
When Alpha Jace Brown’s bride disappeared hours before their wedding, he chose me instead.
Not because he loved me, because I was his mate but because I was convenient.
The forgotten omega, unwanted daughter and the perfect substitute for him.
For four months I lived as Luna in name alone. No mark, no bond and love.
Only endless reminders that the title around my neck belonged to another woman.
Then Jenna returned, the sister I trusted, the bride I replaced months ago. The woman everyone believed had suffered because of me.
One lie after another, she convinced the entire pack that I had stolen her life… and stolen the man who had always belonged to her.
By the time I realized the truth, my husband had already chosen her all again. So I left.
But my disappearance didn’t end the nightmare, it began instead.
Because the farther I ran from Babcock Pack, the more impossible truths I uncovered.
The wedding wasn’t an accident, My miserable life wasn’t an accident. Even becoming the Substitute Luna…had been planned before I was born.
Now the Alpha who cast me aside is searching every territory for the woman he lost.
While the sister who stole everything from me will burn kingdoms to make sure I never return.

Chapter: The Truth Between the LinesJace’s POVI couldn't sleep, I lay there running the priest’s warning over and over until the words stopped making sense, the way anything does if you say it enough times in the dark.If that mark has truly returned, then perhaps Jenna’s homecoming isn’t the miracle this house believes it to be.By morning I still had no answer, only more questions stacked on top of the old ones, so I did the only thing that made sense. I went to ask the source herself.Jenna was sitting up when I entered, a shawl around her shoulders, color back in her face already. She smiled the second she saw me, soft and grateful, exactly the way she used to before any of this happened.“Jace.” She patted the edge of the bed. “I didn’t expect you so early.”“I need the rest of it.” I stayed standing. “Every detail you remember. If I’m going to find the ones who took you, I need more than what you gave the council last night.”“Of course.” She folded her hands in her lap like a woman settling in to confess somethi

Chapter: The Bride Who ReturnedJace’s POVHer wrist was still burning behind my eyes when I made myself stop looking at it.That was the hardest thing I did all day, harder than anything waiting for me inside the mansion. I tore my gaze off Kenna, off the roses blooming too fast and too full around her knees, off the silver light tracing itself into her skin like something writing its name on her, and I ran.Jenna’s voice pulled me the way a hook pulls a fish. I didn’t decide to move. My body simply obeyed a sound I’d been straining to hear for four months.By the time I reached the main hall, the healers already had her surrounded, and the whole estate had exhaled at once. Roland stood at the edge of the crowd, gripping the back of a chair like it was the only thing keeping him upright. Elaine had both hands pressed to her mouth. Servants who’d learned to disappear whenever trouble walked the halls were suddenly visible again, crowding the doorway, craning for a look at the miracle.Jenna sat propped against a m

Chapter: Weight of a borrowed crownKenna’s POVI woke before dawn, the dream still clinging to my skin like sweat that hadn’t dried. My wrist ached where the silver mark had flickered in the night. I pulled my sleeve down over it before I even had a candle lit, as though hiding it from an empty room could undo whatever had happened.Just nerves, I told myself, splashing water on my face. Just a bad dream and tired eyes.I dressed and went down to the kitchens because staying in that room, under Jenna’s portrait, felt like drowning slowly. The cook barely looked up when I entered.“My Luna,” she said, the title landing flat and wrong in her mouth, like she’d practiced saying it without meaning it.“I’ll check the infirmary stores,” I said. “Then the guest prepares, since the envoys are still here.”“As you wish.” She turned back to her bread without another word.I heard them before I reached the infirmary door, two servant girls, voices pitched just low enough to pretend they thought I couldn’t hear.“The false Luna’

Chapter: A Luna without a HusbandKenna’s POVThe crown came off before I had even left the hall.“Careful with that,” Jace told the servant, lifting it from my head, not looking at me, only at the metal. “It’s not to be damaged before it’s returned to storage.”Not are you all right. Not even my name. The crown, obviously, mattered more than the woman who’d just worn it into a marriage neither of us wanted.He caught my arm in the corridor before I could escape to somewhere private. “A word.”“Of course.” I kept my voice even. I had a lot of practice.“I want to be clear about what this is.” He still wasn’t looking at me directly, somewhere over my shoulder, like even that much eye contact cost him. “Nothing between us has changed. This marriage satisfies the treaty. There will be no mark, no bond.”“And when Jenna returns?” I asked, because I wanted to hear him say it.“We’ll discuss what comes next.”“So I’m being kept. Like a spare key, in case the real one gets lost.”That got his eyes on me, finally, a flicker

Chapter: The SubstituteJace’s POV“There is no one else.” The Moon Priest’s voice cut through the noise like a blade through fabric. “Pack law requires a daughter of Roland’s bloodline. Any daughter. Acknowledged or not.”The chamber went dead silent. I already knew who he meant. I’d seen her that morning, the quiet one in Jenna’s dressing room, unpinning her sister’s hair with careful hands while I asked whether the bride was ready and didn’t spare her a second glance. I’d walked past her the way I walked past every servant in that house, because that’s what I’d assumed she was.“The wolfless girl,” Lord Ashworth said, curling his lip like the words tasted foul. “Roland’s shame. You’d crown that before Tezla arrives?”“I would better crown a broom before I start a war,” I said. “Send it to her.”Nobody moved for a full three seconds. Then the doors opened, and two guards brought her in like she was under arrest instead of under consideration which told me exactly how this house had already decided to tr

Chapter: Missing BrideKenna’s POVI stood in the doorway a full ten seconds before my mind caught up to what my eyes were already telling me, the window lock undone, the small chair by the vanity pushed in neatly, like nobody had left in a hurry at all. Like somebody had left carefully.“Jenna?” My voice came out smaller than I meant it to.No answer, I checked the closet. I checked behind the dressing screen. My heart was climbing into my throat by the time I ran back into the hall, and I grabbed the first maid I saw by the sleeve.“Have you seen Jenna? She’s not in her chamber….”The words weren’t even fully out before the house turned into something I didn’t recognize. Doors slamming, voices rising over each other. Someone screamed for the guards. Within minutes the entire pack had folded in on itself, guests and servants and council members all funneling toward the west wing, and I was swept along in the current of it, still holding the shawl I’d been folding when I noticed she was gone.I didn’t und
