Dark Side Of A Broken Luna #Book 1

PROLOGUEListening to the music in the background spikes up my excitement as I try on my ball gown. My nerves are all over the place and I'm almost jumping out of my skin. I'm trying to control myself but it's impossible."Try to stay still, miss. I can't zip up your dress if you keep shaking like that." Said the stylist who is helping me get ready. She's old enough to be my mother and also a bit cranky. But I have to admit, I haven't exactly been making her work easy either."I'm sorry, Miss Delvin. I'm just too excited." I apologize, and take a deep breath, trying to control my giddiness. She zips me up and leads me to the full-length mirror. Just a glance at myself and I'm left in awe. How the hell do I look like a diva?"Do you like your new look?" She asks, spreading out the tail of my dress. "I love it." I gasp in happy tears. It's everything I wished it would be. The hair. The dress. The makeup. The pieces of jewelry. Everything is on fleek. My oval-shaped face has been accen

EMILYOn the day of my seventeenth birthday, Alpha Gavin visited us and said the same words. The Alpha of Red Creed Pack has been searching for his mate for three years and now, he's growing impatient.It has something to do with securing his position as an Alpha by getting a Luna and an heir. His desperation led him to make an offer to Alpha Gavin, pleading to marry his daughter, and in exchange, he would provide our Pack with infinite access to his wealth.I recall turning down the offer because I was madly in love with my boyfriend, Dorian. I wanted to wait for my 18th birthday when we would officially become mates, so I turned down the offer from Alpha Roman.I didn't want to throw away the love I nurtured with Dorian. But now I know, that there's no such love between us. Yeah, I loved him more than is considered normal. But he didn't even feel a bit of likeness for me. Regardless of everything I gave up for him. Rejecting Alpha Rowan for a sneak like Dorian has to be the stupi

Emily"No, Emily, I also like this look on you. You mature to-"Alpha Gavin was cut before he continued to compliment how good I looked today.My heart pounds as I stare up at the same man who bumped into me. I can still feel his hands grip my shoulders firmly, steadying me after I lost my balance. Like he doesn't want to let me go.Our eyes lock and something powerful courses between us, sending a shiver down my spine. "Oh, Roman, there you are! Come, let me properly introduce you." He smiled, grabbing him by his shoulder.So, it's him. The Alpha of Red Creed Pack that I'm now betrothed to—Roman. Roman takes a few steps forward. I smooth out my dress and straighten in my place, Alpha Gavin was still beaming. This is it. Time to put on the performance of a lifetime. "Roman, meet Emily James, my Beta's daughter," Alpha Gavin announces proudly. Roman takes my hand in his, bringing it to his mouth and grazing his lips softly over my knuckles. The intimate gesture sends a shiver throug

DorianI pace back and forth in agitation as I await Emily's arrival. Today is the day she's set to leave for her mating ceremony with that damn Alpha Roman.I still can't believe she refused my proposal and chose to marry a complete stranger instead. What lies has Roman fed her to turn her against me so fully? To make her throw away our love as if it never mattered?None of it makes sense. Emily loves me, I'm sure of it. We're destined to be together. Or should I say she fell for my lies. I just have to make her see the reason before it's too late.When Emily finally enters the room, she hates seeing me there. Her mouth presses into a thin line."What are you doing here, Dorian?" she asks tightly. "I told you we're through."I step closer, taking her hands in mine. "Emily, please. I'm begging you, don't do this."She tries to pull away but I hold on desperately. "Don't marry him. I know you still love me. We belong together.""No, we don't." Emily's voice is cold and her eyes hard. "

EmilyThe soft notes of music fill the air as Roman and I share a dance at our engagement party. His hand rests gently on my lower back, guiding me expertly around the floor.To any observer, we must look at the perfect blissful couple - an Alpha enraptured with his newly betrothed mate. If only they knew the truth.Outwardly, I strive to appear indifferent, keeping my expression pleasantly neutral. Inside, my thoughts roil in chaotic calculation.I cannot afford attachment or sentimentality. Not when I finally have within my grasp the means to achieve my true goal - revenge. Sweet, cold revenge on those who betrayed me in the most horrific way.Roman is nothing but a tool for me to wield, a powerful Alpha I will use mercilessly to destroy my enemies. I cannot forget that. I cannot let even a shred of real feeling take root. Not when I'm so close to having everything I've dreamed of.Since this second chance at life fell into my lap, I've had one driving purpose - to make Dorian and L
