2026-08-09 04:12:20To those who are leaving rude comments because of what I did to Iris, feel free to stop reading. No need to threaten me. This is my book and my story.
I almost have no plan to finish this book for many reasons, and the only reason I am still continuing is because I have more wonderful readers waiting patiently.
Let's be all adults here.
If you don't like where the story is going, move on. There are other books you can read. If you can't wait for my updates, feel free not to wait. There are many completed books around.I am an author. I know how my story will flow, and not everyone will like it, and that is fine. But causing an uproar and saying bad things to dampen my momentum is not okay. I don't read comments on this app for a long time now, but they updated the app and I can see every comment on my dashboard now.
So unfortunately for me, I see them every time I open it to update chapters. And no matter how many positive comments I see, it only takes ONE to make me lose my focus. Please don't be that ONE.
So one favor, please, if you don't have anything positive to say, close your app and find something else to do. Like regular paperbacks, if the book doesn't call to you, you can close it and never open it again.
I'm human. I have feelings. These books are my sweat and tears. Before you love and cry with these characters, I loved and cried with them first. And no matter how many times you shout at me, I won't change my storyline. Because they are mine. If I decide to kill Draco tomorrow, I will.
I get tired of writing too. My motivation comes from readers who keep reading and staying positive throughout. If that is you, THANK YOU. I'm grateful for you.
If you're here just to find fault with my story, you win. I am upset. Now, let me move on and continue with MY story while you look for other books to read.

THE SUBSTITUTE LUNA Chapter 226 - Déjà vu
DRACO.If I didn’t have a copy of my speech, I would be lost. There were many times I had to look at it to make sure I was still delivering the correct words. But I would not deny the night was turning out better than I hoped for. The best I had in the last two years.I could see Iris standing at the back of the crowd, smiling as she listened to me. To be honest, I was not even sure she was listening. She was just staring with that beautiful smile on her face, the same smile she would give me whenever she teased me, which would eventually end up with her straddling my lap. Seeing her brought all my senses back to life. And although I had felt all these wonderful, overwhelming emotions with her before, it had been too long ago, so tonight felt like the first time again. And for the first time since she was taken, I smiled in front of the crowd. I could tell the people who were there also enjoyed the humor I added in my speech. All because I was trying to impress the woman who was l

DRACO.“Because I’m nervous.” She replied. “Why?”“Are you married? Or have a girlfriend?” She asked, and I saw uncertainty in her eyes. And my heart began picking up its pace. I didn’t know if I should tell her I was waiting for someone but I didn’t want her to think I was pushing her away. “No. I’m not married. Are you?”She shook her head.“Maybe a boyfriend or a lover?” I had to ask.She giggled. “No. I haven’t met anyone I fancied. Until…” She paused before she crinkled her nose. “Can I show you something? It was the reason I wanted to talk to you but please don’t laugh at me.”“I promise I won’t laugh.” I looked at her as she pulled her slingbag to her front and began rummaging inside it, making my heart thunder. I wanted nothing but to pull her into my arms, but I didn’t want to scare her, and she wouldn’t end up disappearing before me. I had waited so long for this moment, so a few more minutes were definitely worth it. What mattered most was that I could see her. And hope
THE SUBSTITUTE LUNA Chapter 224 - Festival of Dryndow
DRACO.“Alpha, you’ll be called on the stage approximately in twenty minutes.” One of the organizers of the Dryndow Festival approached me just as I walked out of the backstage area into the open space behind the makeshift stage. I had to stand up from my seat because I felt suffocated. I needed air. “I know. I just don’t like to be in crowded places.” I told him, my forehead creasing as I opened the bottled water in my hand and drank it. “Do you want me to request someone to fan you, Alpha? We didn’t know it’d be this warm tonight.”“No need, just let me be here and call me once it’s my time to speak,” I said, still scowling, wanting him to just leave me alone. “Yes, Alpha.” He bowed in respect before turning around to go back up the stage. If this festival didn’t hold any meaning to me, I would decline the request to be a speaker, as I did in the previous years. But for the last two years, I had accepted the invitations. Now that I knew that this was the festival where I first
THE SUBSTITUTE LUNA Chapter 223 - The Heartbreak of Losing Her
TWO YEARS AFTER.DRACO. The days turned into weeks and then into months. The seasons came and went by, but nothing had changed. My home was still empty—as empty as my heart, as empty as my life. I miss Iris every day.The days were longer and the nights were painful. I had been alone almost all my life and had heartbreaks in the past—my mother’s death, my father’s abandonment, Felicity’s betrayal, and many others that made me a hard, bitter man—but nothing could compare to the heartbreak of losing her. It had been two years, yet the pain felt as if it were just yesterday when she’d left. I tried to live day by day, keeping to my promise not to seek her or bother her, while doing my best to be a better man—a man worthy of her, even if there was no guarantee I would get to tell her how much I loved and wanted her. At the beginning, my constituent kept asking about her. My Beta and everyone around me simply said she had moved on to be with her immediate family. Some were disappoint
THE SUBSTITUTE LUNA Chapter 222 - Until You
DRACO.“Iris will come back to life with no memory of you, or the human life she had. She will only have beautiful memories of her childhood with Prince Vaidas and Queen Cassiopeia.” Selene told me and it took a while before the words sank in.“She deserves that…” I told her, meeting her eyes.“She can fall in love with anyone she will meet along the way.”“I will not get to meet her again in this lifetime. Is that right?” My tears fell and as much as I didn’t want that, I had no choice. This was the better option for Iris.“Swear to me, Draco, that you will not do anything to find her.”“Is this a test? To see if I’m a good man and I can keep my promise? I’m going to fail, Selene. I’m impatient and selfish. I know this is the reason she was taken from me, because you think she deserves better than me.”“I would not give her to you as your mate if I thought she deserved another man.”“And why are you taking her away from me?”“In time, you will understand. But for now, I want you to p

IRIS. Janice also shared that they never liked Tricia, as she acted like she had the power to order people around whenever the Alpha took her with him. I just listened, but later on, I took the opportunity to ask about Felicity and why she left.“I never met Felicity. All of us never did.” She ans

IRIS. A shriek escaped past my lips when I saw Alpha Draco rushing toward us. The next thing I knew, his knuckles landed on the Delta’s jaw. Liam was hurled backward while the Alpha grabbed me toward him. My body spun around, and my face landed on his bloodied torso. His arm wrapped around me as h

BETA ROMAN. “Did I see it right? Did she kiss you?” I couldn’t help asking as soon as Iris left the Alpha’s office.“I don’t think I asked you to come here today.” The Alpha said, instead of answering my question. He walked toward his liquor cabinet and grabbed a bottle of bourbon before pouring it

DRACO.“Stay…” The word came out rugged. It was hard for me to say it. I had told my own mate that I would not give her the rejection she wanted, but had never begged her. I gave Felicity an option—a choice to walk away or stay with me. But at this point, I didn’t want to give Iris that. I didn’t
