ZACH.

“No, Dad! You listen! If you think I want to be stuck in this chair, I don’t, but I don’t have a choice. I have to live with that! But it’s supposed to be just me, and not you.”

My eyes were stinging, but I did my best to blink back any tears forming. The last thing I wanted was for them to think I was still weak.

“You need to be minding your own lives now. Just you and Mom! We’re all grown-ups here, maybe not Winter. Take her with you, but let me live as I see fit. I lost my ability to walk—just my feet. Don’t let me lose my confidence, too. You’re taking it away from me.”

Mom’s eyes were watering, but she kept her tears at bay.

“Don’t think like that. You are doing great these last two years. We don’t want you to feel we are abandoning you.”

“I want you to abandon me... So I can grow from here.” I blurted out.

“Did you remember in the hospital when they told you you wouldn’t be able to walk again? Dad said he’d be your feet…” Mom’s tears were already trickling down her face, an

Cassandra, you're too wrong. It's too early for me to be ugly crying from reading this book.

  • HEART OF A TRUE LUNA   10 - Uninvited Pt1

    AMBER.“I’m not sure why, at twenty years old, you are telling me that I can’t decide for myself while you, at the same age, can handle a whole pack! Am I that inferior to you that I can’t even make decisions for my own life?” I couldn’t stop my mouth from retorting. I went to my brother’s office and told him I had decided to take Nikka and Ara’s offer to stay with them for a couple of months. This was a day after our parents had relocated to the Council territory. “Amber, that’s not what I mean,” Cyrus grunted, brushing his palms against his face.“So what do you mean by your question asking if Mom agreed to this?”“I just don’t want to be the one blamed when they find out you’d left and gone to Zach.”“I’m of age, Cy. If they find out and become upset, it’s on me. Not you. I know you want to take care of everyone, but look at you. Do you even take care of yourself? Do you even sleep? You’ve been tracking her nonstop, plus managing all these pack-related problems. You have so many t

  • HEART OF A TRUE LUNA   12 - Uninvited Pt 2

    AMBER. I had no idea how the twins managed it, but I was granted entry to their territory without the men at the border needing to call Zach or anyone. But just looking at the expression of my grumpy but still handsome and sexy ex-fiancé, he didn’t like that I came here.“And here it goes…” I mumbled as I entered the driveway of their packhouse, preparing myself for the worst. I stopped the car and turned off the engine before removing the engagement ring I’d been wearing whenever I was out so men would stop hitting on me. I slid it to a secure spot in my handbag before taking out the golden bangle that Zach gave me when I was eight years old. Eva surprised me with it on my 20th birthday by having it adjusted. It was cut and connected with short gold chains so I could fit it around my wrist. I should have been upset that she had it altered, but I remembered how I could use it to my advantage against Zach, so I eventually forgave her. “Do not cry when he growls. Or do not run awa

  • HEART OF A TRUE LUNA   Chapter 13 - Alpha Riley

    ZACH.My heart thudded loudly as sweat formed on my palms and everywhere on my body. I didn’t like this. I didn’t like that at all. I kept myself from growling as I turned my chair around and rolled myself inside the house. I shut off everyone from my hearing because hearing my mother talk to Amber would make this harder for me. She had always liked her. She was the first to celebrate when I told them I wanted Amber as my Luna and would claim her at the Claiming. My mother surely knew how to play her game—either her or Amber. A tough choice because I wanted both of them out of this house.I slammed my office door closed and went to the biggest window overlooking our massive garden. I stared at nothing except the flowers and bushes. Everything on the other side was colorful and bright, unlike what I felt inside—dull, dark, and gray.I didn’t need a babysitter, and certainly not a female who thought she could tie up her life with me just because I saved her. Of course, she would. Amber

  • HEART OF A TRUE LUNA   14 - His Luna

    AMBER. Dinner was pleasant and welcoming, only because Zach didn’t join us. I didn’t mind at all. I didn’t want my first night to be ruined. Even if he didn’t want me here, the rest of his household did. It was enough to bring my confidence up. It was also the last dinner before Uncle Riley and Aunt Nadia would drive to the Council Territory. They would take Winter with them, which the latter didn’t like. She would rather stay here, but her parents were not bending on that despite the tears she shed. But all ended well.Mindy, on the other hand, was so timid that she would rarely raise her head to look at us. This bothered me because I had already heard from Hanna some things about her and what she went through from her previous Alpha. I was concerned that she was forced to be here. Only when I really looked into her and her interaction with Arlo did everything make sense.She was uncomfortable with this new place and everyone around her, but her face lit up whenever Arlo attended

    BETA ARLO. It was Mindy’s first night here, so I wanted to retire to bed early. I left Gamma Drake at the training building before rushing home to where my mate was. She was in the kitchen, so I headed there directly, only to find Lady Amber with her. It was not an unusual sight because, before the accident, Amber was comfortable in every part of this house. She also had a good relationship with the Omegas, so she was often there with them if Zach was busy doing pack-related things or in a meeting. But what I heard caught me off guard. Zach met his fated mate, and he didn’t say anything to me. After Lady Amber arrived and it was decided she would stay, I went to his office and asked if he was okay. I found him deep in his thoughts. I thought it was a natural thing, as his ex-fiancée was here. He said he was fine and told me we should proceed with having Mindy join the pack as planned. So we did that. He swore Mindy in, but after that, we were dismissed immediately. Before I left

    AMBER.I was with Mindy at the library on the second floor. I was teaching her about the geography of the pack—all the borders and what the neighboring packs around them are.Aunt Jenny initially offered to give her an overview, but since I had nothing to do in my free time, I asked if I could help. She let me handle this, but she told me that in exchange, she expected me to join Mindy during her training so I could have my wolf out soon. I was grateful for that. I almost forgot how much Aunt Jenny helped my mother when they were younger and how she helped her push her wolf out.Her wolf, Sapphire, was, in fact, the first wolf that Meadow connected with when Mom shifted. So I know how much this meant for both of us if she could also help me with my wolf. “Lady Amber,” Arlo’s voice startled me. I didn’t notice he had entered the library. “Are they here?” That was all I could come up with as my heart began thudding loudly.He nodded. “They’re ten minutes away from the packhouse.”I be

  • HEART OF A TRUE LUNA   17 - Meeting Her Pt1

    AMBER. I knew I was not invited to show up and meet her, but the stupid side of my head got the best of me. I was already here, so I better make my presence known, too. I ran to my bedroom and rushed to choose a dress. I usually wore modest and conservative dresses, as only Zach knew about that naughty part of me. My minis—shorts, skirts, and dresses—were reserved for times I was with him alone. But it wouldn’t hurt to put on a sexy but still cute dress, especially since his mate was wearing just regular jeans and a sleeveless tank top. Her breasts might be bigger, but mine weren’t small either. Zach said they were more than enough for his hands and mouth.Ugh. I should stop thinking about Zach.In the end, I chose a beige ribbed square-neck mini dress with long sleeves that hugged my body and breasts perfectly. The low neckline was beautiful and complimented my skin. I loved it!The dress ended way above my mid-thighs. In short—it was too short—something I would never wear wheneve

    AMBER.“I can drive you there.” Drake volunteered.“No, you’re not,” Zach said without taking his eyes off me, his forehead creasing. I kept my face smiling even if my heart was clenching. I motioned with my hands, letting Drake know I was okay. “I’ll be fine.”“I have no schedule or anything unless you want something from me, Alpha.” Drake turned his attention to him. “I promised Sidney I would have her see the surroundings so she can familiarize herself, at least around the packhouse. But I’m worn out already.”“Arlo can do that,” Drake replied almost immediately. “Aren’t the Betas supposed to…”“I’m telling you to do it. Arlo has Mindy to attend to, so while he’s at it, I expect your presence to be with Sidney if she needs to be somewhere.”“Got it, Alpha.” Drake bowed his head in submission. I slowly stepped backward, not wanting to draw more attention because my eyes were watering. I felt discarded and unimportant compared to her. It was a wrong idea to make my presence known

    AMBER.“Hello, sexy Alpha…” I said as I kicked the door closed when I came to his office. Zach tilted his head up, and I eased into a more relaxed position, but the moment his eyes fell on my clothes, his forehead creased.“Did you walk back from the training ground to here just in your sports bra?”“I didn’t have time to shower, as I thought we would shower together,” I replied, placing my tea on his table as I stood beside it. He pushed his chair back, and I knew it was my signal that he wanted me on his lap. I didn’t waste time and sat on him, straddling his legs. “You can’t go around like that. It’s not immodest, but until my mark sits on you, I hate that someone might still think they have a chance with you.”“I love you…” I cut him and cupped his face. “I won’t do it again. Until your mark sits on my neck.”He chuckled and cupped my face. “Maybe by that time, I have to set another alibi… That until you carry our child, you can’t walk around in that.”I giggled, but my heart w

    BETA FEMALE MINDY.“Until you wear that badge on your shoulders, you are considered like any of the females visiting this pack. If letting us do our work is an annoyance to you, feel free to leave. You can come back when you are already in your right frame of mind.” I motioned with my hand, laying it out toward the door. She was about to swat my raised hand, but Arlo caught hers and lowered it. She hissed and stepped back. I was sure Arlo’s grip on her pained her. “I don’t like you…” She mumbled, still looking at me. “The feeling is mutual, Estelle.” I dropped the Lady in her name. She didn’t deserve it. Her mouth hung open, but she didn’t say anything this time. Arlo then nodded at the two men, and they took her things and walked out of the packhouse. Arlo told her she could follow them and they would drive her back here once it was done, but she refused. She wanted to speak with Alpha Zach.“As I mentioned, the Alpha is busy. You can wait for your things in the receiving room, or

  • HEART OF A TRUE LUNA   82: I Got Your Back

    BETA FEMALE MINDY. Lately, I haven’t been able to get enough of my mate and the kisses he has given me. I wanted more of them until we remembered we had things to do. We were laughing as we ran down the stairs to meet our new guest.‘She’s here, Lady Amber.’ I mindlinked my future Luna when we were already by the stairs and almost on the ground floor. ‘Don’t worry, I will be with her until she’s in her room. I also made Arlo promise not to leave the Alpha alone until you’re back to accompany him.’I was glad to do this for her. We both trusted our males but not the females around them, and since Lady Amber had been building my confidence to face those females who flirted with Arlo, I wanted to do the same thing for her. I would keep an eye on the Alpha with Arlo’s help when she couldn’t. ‘Thank you. I appreciate this.’ I replied. ‘I’ll be there soon.’ After we ended our conversation, I prepared myself to face the half-sibling of the man who had done me wrong. I only had a few hour

    AMBER. “Marry me, Amber.” He said out of nowhere, and my mouth hung open. My eyes welled with tears, and so did his as we stared at each other. “Whatever happens after the 48 days, marry me.”I nodded my head as my tears fell. I felt his chair move forward, and his hand reached behind me, opening his desk drawer. I clung closer to him and turned my head to look at what he was doing. He pulled out a small box, and I already knew what it was—our engagement ring. I sent it back to him months after the accident in the hope it would stir emotion in him and that he would call me. He didn’t, and I regretted that move as I lost the last precious gift he gave me. “You kept it,” I mumbled as he slowly opened the box, and we both looked at the amber ring that I was only able to wear for a month. “I did, like all the other things that remind me of you.” He said as he tilted his head to meet my gaze. “I always looked at it when I was alone. Some days, I wanted to call you and get back with you

    AMBER.“I will convince Zach to let Estelle live with us inside this packhouse,” I said straight to the point.“Are you sure about this, Lady Amber?” Arlo asked me. I nodded. “I would rather keep an eye on her than for us to be surprised by whatever her next plan is.”“This will be hard with both of you here,” Drake said. “I’m not asking you to choose.” I smiled at them. “I’m not asking you to choose me. But I want you to respect whatever Zach’s decisions are. Right now, he is choosing me. I will remain here as long as that’s the case. If ever there comes a time that he decides to turn his back on me and choose… choose someone else. I will respect his decision this time.”I saw how Drake’s and Arlo’s shoulders dropped at my words while Mindy bit her bottom lip as she crossed her arms across her chest. Their reaction made me teary-eyed. These three had shown me nothing but support. “But until then… I will do my best to help Zach get out of this mess. I don’t want your Alpha to step

    AMBER. Zach was still asleep when I rose from the bed and left the bedroom. There were many things to prepare and do before that cunning snake appeared today. We were not able to sleep early. We talked. A lot.We poured out all our emotions—our disappointment and fears. Despite the uncertainties, I was more confident that Zach was mine. He was more determined not to let Anna or Estelle get between us. He told me he had never been attracted to anyone except me, so he knew that the chaos she brought would not affect his feelings for me, only his future. And I believed him because I felt the same way. There was no one I had ever been attracted to aside from him. For some people, the attraction wanes as they grow older, but for me, it only grows stronger. I loved Zach when we were younger, loved him at his peak when he was my strength and protector, and loved him still at his lowest and most vulnerable state. My love for him keeps growing more in every stage of his life—of our lives.

    ZACH.In my rush to confront her and take Amber away from there, I didn’t consider that she might turn out to be my fated mate, but I was lucky that she wasn’t. Or this would be a bigger mess than it already was. Estelle left with a threat that she would come back. I was left baffled by the contract she showed me. I was sure I didn’t sign anything, but was it because, in my hurry to get out of that room, I signed it without noticing and thought it was part of the original contract?Did I fucking sign another blood contract without my knowing?A sudden movement snapped me back to the present. I found Amber bent over the bushes at the side of the steps, retching uncontrollably, but nothing was coming out. I slammed my coiled fist on the armrest of my chair. Moments like this were when I wished I could fucking walk. I could do nothing but watch her while Mindy rushed out of the packhouse and went to her.“Amber…” My voice came out so low as I rolled toward the edge, nearer. I pulled o

  • HEART OF A TRUE LUNA   77: Estelle Pt2

    AMBER. ‘Are you fated mates?’ I asked Zach in our heads.‘No.’ He replied. I looked at her extended hand and shook my head as I stepped back. I knew I would stumble soon. It was taking too much of me to hold myself up, and then I felt hands grabbing my arms, supporting me. Arlo came, and he was standing behind me. He let go of me once I was able to gather myself.‘Don’t believe her. I never said I would claim her,’ Zach reached my head. It was all I needed to hear to bring my confidence back. I tilted my head up and scoffed at her. “This pack only has one Luna. And you’re standing in front of her.”“Really now? From what I can see, Zach is still not able to stand.” She spoke confidently. Too far from the meek female who needed me to help her with everything. Did she know who I was from the beginning? Was she lying the whole time? Was the friendship she showed me part of their show?“I’m only claiming Amber,” Zach said, and I smirked at her before I mirrored her stance, crossing m

  • HEART OF A TRUE LUNA   76: Estelle

    AMBER.I showered in the locker room of the training building after my session. I could have easily showered at the packhouse, but I knew that if Zach saw me, he would never let me out of his sight. He had been asking, or should I say demanding, for my attention since lunch. Not that I didn’t want to spend time with him, but I had things to do that needed to be out of his earshot, or I would have to answer questions I didn’t have answers to yet.I was already in a hurry to meet him, but I was held up twice by some people who wanted to speak with me. Since I really wanted this pack, especially the females, to be comfortable around me, I entertained them.When I was finally able to get away, I rushed toward the packhouse, hoping Zach was still working, as I hated keeping him waiting.The streets were empty, but it was nothing extraordinary, as it was just a regular day. Usually, more vehicles would be on the road on Fridays, as people would get off work and go out to chill afterward.The
