A Luna for Two Alphas

Tears streamed down my face as I pleaded with my uncle. "Please, Uncle, he asked for Aria, not me," I begged, my eyes locked on his, hoping to convey the depth of my despair.The thought of marrying that old man was unbearable. "You want me to marry an Omega?" I asked, my voice shaking with desperation. "Someone so much older and beneath me?"Aria stood beside me, her eyes welling up with tears, but I saw through her facade. Her parents, however, seemed oblivious to her distress.My uncle's expression remained resolute. "Ember, you're doing this for the family," he said, his tone firm but laced with a false gentleness. "Aria's too young for marriage now. You're the eldest; it's your duty."My words caught in my throat as my uncle's glare silenced me. I knew what would happen if I protested further – his mate would punish me later. Fear and resignation washed over me, and I looked down, defeated.In that moment, I felt trapped, forced into a fate I didn't want, with no escape in sight.

Alpha Landon's question cut through the tension. "Where's your parents, princess?"I bit my lip, suppressing a dark laugh. "My guardians are present," I replied, my eyes darting to my aunt and uncle.He nodded sympathetically and held out his hand, inviting me to take it. "I'm sorry, but I'll have to take your daughter away," he said to my aunt and uncle, his smile polite but firm.As we stepped off the podium together, my aunt rushed forward, her eyes welling up with fake tears.

Her words were laced with insincerity."I don't know how pathetic you'll think this sounds," I whispered, my voice barely audible, "but I really wish you meant anything you're acting out here today." I paused, my eyes locked on hers. "Though I know better."My aunt's gaze flickered, a hint of fear dancing beneath the

"Be cautious," I warned my wolf, "remember what happened with Landon."She settled down, her giggles subsiding.I turned to Alpha Kieran, a question burning on my lips. "Do you have any connection to Alpha Landon Blackthorn of Blackwood Pack?"He cut me off, his voice sharp as a knife. "I'm well aware of Landon's pack."His eyes flashed with a complex mix of emotions, but they quickly hardened, revealing the unapologetic, cold, sassy, and savage man I'd met earlier."Why do you want to know?" he asked, his tone dripping with disdain.I swallowed, my voice cracking. "Because my dealings with Landon were... complicated. Seeing you is like reliving my worst nightmare."Memories of Landon and my sister's betrayal threatened to overwhelm me.Alpha Kieran's expression turned glacial. "Landon is my cousin. Mention his name again, and it won't end well for you."His warning sent a shiver down my spine.Six years had passed, and my life had transformed in ways I never thought possible."Glyden
