The Substitute Luna’s Revenge
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 PatternJace’s POVI took the old reports out into the territory itself rather than trusting the paper alone to tell me the whole story.“Any crop failures out here before this season?” I asked a farmer near the eastern fields, one of the older men who’d worked this land his entire life.“Once, years back.” He scratched his jaw, remembering. “The whole section failed like this. Then the next season, healthy as anything.”“Did anyone blame someone for it? Someone specific?”“No, Alpha. Just bad luck. Happens to farmland sometimes.”That distinction stood out immediately. The same kind of disaster, and nobody had ever turned it into evidence against a person.I asked the gardeners to walk me through exactly where the dead flowers had started and how the damage spread. The pattern wasn’t random, it followed one section, sharp and deliberate, rather than fading evenly through the whole garden.“Seen something like this before,” one of the older gardeners admitted. “Smaller, years back. Same kind

Chapter: Old CasesJace’s POVI found the senior healer still tending the sick pups, exhaustion carved into her face after the accusation that had erupted through the nursery.“Walk me through everything,” I said. “The first symptoms, how fast they developed, anything the affected families share.”“They were healthy before this began, Alpha. No fever, no warning signs.” She rubbed her eyes. “Different parts of the territory. Different food sources, different routines. Nothing obvious connects them.”“Has anything like this happened before? In previous years?”She thought for a long moment. “Isolated cases, actually. I remember two or three occasions over the years, pups falling ill suddenly, no clear cause. But the families recovered, and we never saw a wider pattern, so nobody investigated further.”“Why not?”“Babcock deals with ordinary illness constantly, Alpha. Once the immediate danger passed, there was no reason to dig deeper into cases that were resolved on their own.”That answer didn’t satisfy

Chapter: The Sick PupsKenna’s POVThe healers were already running between the nursery and their supply rooms by the time I heard what had happened, their voices sharp with an urgency that pulled me toward the nursery before I’d fully decided to go.I knew my presence might not be welcomed. I went anyway.The sight inside stopped me for a moment, half a dozen newborns, so small and fragile, their small chests working too hard for breath, mothers hovering over cradles with the particular helplessness of people watching something they couldn’t fix.“What do you need?” I asked the head healer, already reaching for clean linens before she answered.“Blankets. Fresh water. Whatever hands we can find that know how to be gentle.” She glanced at me, exhausted, and didn’t waste time turning me away. “Same symptoms across all of them. We can’t determine the cause yet.”I stayed. I carried supplies, kept the room organized, sat beside frightened parents who needed someone to listen while they described how healthy th

Chapter: The Night She was BornKenna’s POVI caught up to him in the corridor outside his chambers, his steps still hurried from whatever had passed between him and Jace.“You recognized that relic,” I said, blocking his path before he could retreat any further. “You know exactly what it is.”“Kenna, this isn’t the time”“It’s never the time.” My voice cracked louder than I intended. “I’ve spent days having dreams I can’t explain, seeing a symbol I’ve never learned but somehow drew perfectly, holding a relic that burns beneath my skin and no one else’s. Everyone around me seems to know something about my own life except me. I’m tired of it.”He didn’t answer immediately, and I pressed harder, refusing to let this become another conversation that ended in silence.“You said it responded only to certain people. You looked terrified the moment Jace told you it reacted to me. Whatever you’re hiding, I deserve to know it.”“There are reasons things were kept hidden.”“From me. Always from me.” I stepped closer. “You kno

Chapter: What Jace SeesJace’s POVI found her standing rigid beside the table, staring down at something small resting between her fingers, and I knew before I fully crossed the room that whatever it was had already unsettled her badly.“Kenna.”The object flared the instant she noticed me, the symbol on its surface pulsing with a faint, unmistakable glow beneath her fingers.“Kenna, drop it…”She already had, her hand snapping back like the metal had burned her. The glow faded almost the moment it left her grip.“It’s done that twice now,” she said, breathing hard. “This is the second time.”I studied the relic from where it lay on the table, careful not to touch it myself just yet. The marking matched exactly what I had found in the archives, the same crescent tied to Moberly’s history, the same shape her own hand had drawn without conscious memory.“Tell me what happened when you touched it.”She described it slowly, still shaken. A settlement under attack. Warriors, fire, people running through streets

Chapter: The RelicKenna’s POVI turned the object over and over in my palm, hoping some angle of it might explain how it had ended up hidden in my own drawer.The marking stared back at me no matter which way I held it, the same crescent, the same broken circle, the same jagged lines that had haunted every dream since the night I’d first seen that burning settlement. I searched my memory for any moment I might have encountered before. Nothing surfaced. And yet holding it felt disturbingly familiar, like my palm already knew the exact shape and weight of it before my mind caught up.“This isn’t decoration,” I whispered to the empty room, tracing the marking with one finger. It was too deliberate for that. Too precise. Whoever carved this had meant it to identify something, or someone.I thought about carrying it straight to Jace. I even reached for my cloak before stopping myself. What would I say — that I’d found an unexplained relic bearing the exact symbol from my dreams, hidden among my private bel

THE ALPHA’S UNWANTED PLUS-SIZE LUNA
“Do you think I’ll ever walk hand in hand with a girl four times my size?”
Those were the words my husband used after I caught him with the woman he had always loved.
For three years, I had endured Lucian Vale’s coldness, his disgust, and the shame he showed whenever we appeared together. I knew he hated having a plus-size wife. I knew he wished I looked like Selene, the beautiful woman who had always been his first choice.
So when he finally placed divorce papers in front of me, I signed without looking back but the Moon Goddess refused to let us go. Our marriage bond wouldn’t break, and neither of us understood why.
Then Rhydian Veyr, the mysterious Lycan King of Nocturne, entered my life.
Unlike Lucian, he never looked at my body with disgust. He made me feel beautiful when I had spent years believing I wasn’t.
But Rhydian had a secret too. He hadn’t come for me. He had come for what was hidden inside me. As strange powers begin awakening within my body, I discover that my unwanted existence was never as ordinary as everyone wanted me to believe.
My parents hid the truth. Lucian’s family buried it. And Rhydian has been searching for it since before he ever knew my name.
Now my husband wants his wife back. The man who used me wants forgiveness he hasn’t earned and The woman who stole my husband from me is hiding a revenge of her own. But they are all about to discover the same thing.
The plus-size girl they thought was worthless was the one person they should never have betrayed. And this time, I’m not begging anyone to choose me. I’m choosing.

Chapter: Chapter 39MERRYNI couldn’t stop staring at the map.My name was written beneath the Eclipse symbol.Not in the corner. Not as a note. Right in the center. Like everything on that page led back to me. Tavish spread the map flat across the table.“Don’t touch it yet.”I looked at him, “Why?”“We don’t know whether there’s a tracking spell attached to it.”Rhydian’s expression hardened.“Check it.”Tavish pulled a small device from his pocket and passed it over the paper. Nothing happened.“No active spell,” he said.I reached for the map.The paper was cold beneath my fingers.I unfolded it completely. There were dates. Dozens of them. My stomach tightened.“Those aren’t recent.”Tavish leaned closer.“How far back?”I traced one of the markings.“Three years.”Another.“Four.”My voice became quieter.“Five.”Rhydian looked at me.“What?”I pointed to the date.“This was before my divorce.”He moved closer.“How far before?”“Before Lucian and I even separated.”Tavish picked up another sheet.“

Chapter: Chapter 38MERRYN“Then why did you stay after you found me?”The question hung between us. Rhydian didn’t answer. For once, since I have met him, the silence coming from him didn’t feel calculated. It felt like he genuinely didn’t know what to say.I folded my arms.“Well?”He looked away.“At first,” he said slowly, “I thought you might be the answer to Nocturne’s decline.”My chest tightened. There it was. The truth I had been afraid of.“The answer,” I repeated.“Yes.”“My blood.”“Your Eclipse blood.”“So when you come to Brackenmere…”“I was looking for you.”“Not me.”He looked at me.“No. Not at first.”I nodded once. It hurt more hearing it said plainly than it had when I have suspected it. I walked toward the table and picked up one of the archive records.“Was any of it real?”“What?”“The way you treated me.”His brow furrowed.“You mean what?”“Kindness.”He stared at me.“When you spoke to me like I wasn’t an embarrassment. When you looked at me without making me feel like I needed

Chapter: Chapter 37.RHYDIANThe black mark on Merryn’s palm had not faded by morning. She had tried everything. Water and a healing slave. Even Tavish’s suggestion of holding her hand beneath moonlight. Nothing worked. She stood at the archive table, rubbing her palm with her thumb.“It’s still there.”“I can see that,” I said.She looked up.“Then stop staring at it.”“I’m trying to understand it.”“So am I.”I picked up one of the training-bond stones.“We can test it again.”Her expression changed immediately.“No.”“It isn’t a living bond.”“You said that yesterday.”“And it remains true.”“I broke the last one.”“You loosened it first.”“Then I broke it.”“Because you panicked.”She looked away.I set the stone down.“Merryn, I’m not asking you to touch anyone’s mate bond.”“I know.”“This will be a training tether. It exists only to teach young wolves how bonds feel.”She glanced at the stone“And if I break it?”“Then we’ll know the mark reacts to severing.”“And if I can’t control it?”“Then we s

Chapter: Chapter 36MERRYNRhydian arrived before I could decide what to do with my mother’s letters. He stood in the doorway of the sitting room, his gaze moving from the open lockbox to the papers spread across the floor.“You found something.”I nodded, “My mother’s letters.”He stepped inside but didn’t touch anything.“Can I?”I handed him one. He read it quickly. Just Then his expression changed.“What?”He looked at me.“She knew about the Council.”“She feared them.”Rhydian picked up another letter.“She knew about the Eclipse.”“And she wanted me to stay ordinary.”He lowered the paper.“Merryn…”“Don’t.”He stopped.“Everyone keeps telling me how much my parents wanted to protect me. But nobody tells me what they were protecting me from.”Rhydian looked at the unfinished sentence.“If they discover what her blood can do, they will make her…”His jaw tightened.“We need to compare this with the archive records.”“Why?”“Because your mother’s letters tell us what she feared.

Chapter: Chapter 35.MERRY I returned to the family estate before sunset. I hadn’t told Rhydian where I was going. Not because I wanted to hide it from him.I simply didn’t want another guard following me around while I searched through my own family’s secrets.The estate looked exactly as I remembered it. That somehow made everything worse.I unlocked the front door and stepped inside.“Hello?”Only silence answered. I had no intention of explaining myself to anyone tonight. I walked upstairs and stopped outside Cressida’s old sitting room.This was where she’d kept the few things that belonged to my mother. At least, that was what she had always told me.I opened the door. Dust covered the shelves. The curtains were drawn. I walked toward the cabinet in the corner and opened the first drawer, the second drawer.Old photographs. I pulled them out one by one. My parents. Cressida. Me as a baby.I stared at the photograph. My mother was holding me.She looked young and happy. Nothing like the woman from

Chapter: Chapter 34LUCIANThe burning lasted only a few seconds. But I felt it long after the mark disappeared. I sat on the edge of my bed, staring at my chest.Nothing. No symbol. No light. Just skin.I pressed my palm against the spot where it had appeared.“Merryn.”Her name slipped out before I could stop it. My wolf stirred. I clenched my jaw.“No.”I stood and walked toward the mirror. This wasn’t the first strange reaction I had since Merryn left.The Bloodlock had been unstable since the divorce ceremony. I had felt sudden pain, flashes of emotion that weren’t mine, and once, for no reason I could explain, I’d woken up convinced Merryn was crying.I had dismissed all of it. This was another episode. It had to be. I pulled a shirt over my head. Then someone knocked.“Come in.”The door opened. My father stepped inside. He took one look at me and stopped. His eyes went straight to my chest.I frowned, “What?”He didn’t answer.“Father?”He took a step closer, “Take off your shirt.”I stared at hi
