The Alpha's Substitute Luna Hidden Scars
Austin closed the door as he walked into the room, his back on the door. I watched him close his eyes, and just let himself breathe. I wasn't going to kid myself, I knew it would be hard for him to completely be over Catherine to the point where even resenting her feels useless, but...it still stung a little. More so, because I understood him."Austin..."He opened his eyes and turned away. "The food is getting cold."I walked to him and wrapped my arms around him, closing in on him from behind. My hand went up to his chest where I could feel the rapid beat of his heart, fueled by anger and resentment."You know, Austin...I really hope there will come a time when you...will be so over her that even resenting her will feel baseless. I want to wait for a day when I will heal all of those wounds that you will have no more room for resentment. No more room for all this anger. I really hope I am able to love you that much." I slightly moved my fingers, just as he held my hand, then slowly
The Alpha's Substitute Luna Accepting Scars
"What?" I expected the disbelief in his eyes and his voice, so I just closed my eyes and nodded, seeing nothing wrong with his behavior.The day my father had died was undoubtedly one of the worst days of my life. He was the best dad ever, and I couldn't ask for more. Him being alive delayed my imminent omega status, and he never let me suffer despite our low statuses. But on those days...on these days when he was a little less human..when he was a little less like my father...I believed it was the price I had to pay for surviving alone. The price I had to pay for the other days of bliss that he gave me. The price for being me.I swallowed hard as Austin knelt in front of me, then slowly traced his fingers on my stomach. He looked at me, and his eyes glistened with the tears I never let my father see when he drunkenly did that. The tears I swallowed no matter what as he put the sharp edge of the knife over the open fire, his other hand holding mine.It was the price I believed I had
The Alpha's Substitute Luna Shooting Stars
I watched Austin carefully play with my fingers, then slowly bring them to his lips. I closed my eyes at the point of contact, and I just felt his lips go higher up my arm till he pulled me so close to him, I couldn't breathe without him feeling it.His hand came up to remove a few strands of hair from my face, and he kissed the top of my forehead."Do you plan on being so affectionate all the time? Cause I could get crazily obsessed." I said, then lifted my eyes to meet his.A small smile was playing on his lips. "You should, Hazel. You should get crazily obsessed."I laughed and he pulled my body to him as I turned over, and he let his hands play with my exposed shoulder."I am sorry you had to go through so much, Hazel." he leaned and nibbled a little on my earlobe, then slowly let his fingers caress my waist. This time he didn't stop when his hands slid to my stomach and felt the scars and maybe I was hallucinating but he seemed to linger a bit longer on them."You are here now, r
The Alpha's Substitute Luna I Will Always Choose You
I went red in the face, the heat immediately setting my skin on fire. I heard Austin laugh, like he did it on purpose, knowing just how big of an effect he had on me."Stop." I said, meekly, my defense weak, just like my knees.He walked to me, taking in a deep breath. I watched him, my eyes fixed somewhere between his face and his chest. Probably hovering around his neck. Before I knew it, he was in front of me.He took my face in his hands, cupping them so they filled his hand. I swallowed, forcing myself to look up to him. He was studying my face like it was the last thing he wanted to do."You are gorgeous, Hazel."My breath hitched, more with the look in his eyes than with his words. He looked like he meant every single word he said, and he held my gaze even as he leaned into me, then slowly took my lips in his. Warmth erupted through every nerve in my body, and I held his hoodie tight.The kiss was not desperate, like he was trying to prove to me that he did, in fact find me go
The Alpha's Substitute Luna Hazel's Insecurities
I packed up my clothes as Austin watched me, his legs crossed over each other. I let out a small sigh as I pushed away a dress I had been contemplating leaving because it was a little too revealing, then looked over at Austin."Sweetheart...please. I just want you to be okay." He said, his eyes pleading."I know, Austin. But...you are leaving your pack for just me? You are an alpha. Maybe I could just go there alone.""You are my luna, Hazel. An alpha has to protect his Luna first. And in a way, I am protecting the pack by protecting you. Okay?" He looked like he didn't want to give me any more lessons on self worth.I swallowed and nodded. "I understand."He suddenly stood and held my hand, then pulled me towards the bed. "Just sit here. An omega will come over to help."I looked up to him. "An omega?"He turned to me, slight confusion in his eyes. "Well, yes. Is something wrong?""I will just do it myself, Austin. Why bring some omega who probably already has so nuch to do with trai
The Alpha's Substitute Luna Falling in Place
I gave a small sigh and pulled the dress back up, closing my body up. I turned to the closet, and pulled out every single dress I had in there. This would be a first time thing for me, but I would do it for myself. Because I am tired of not feeling like I am enough.I pulled out the dress I had been stalking away, the ones that had slits and the ones that exposed my stomach, I pulled them all and dumped the more closed up ones.I swallowed and pulled them in to the bag, put out some of the lingerie Eve had gotten, the shoes...the only conservative thing in my box was probably my robe.I sighed and sat on the bed once I was done with it, my breath coming slowly. I had exerted myself sorting out through everything and it did feel refreshing. Accepting who I was, even though it had taken so long, felt so refreshing.I smiled up at the ceiling, tears filling my eyes. I have been this restrained person for so long. This person who was too afraid to come out of the walls I built for myself.
The Alpha's Substitute Luna Getaway
I sat in the car as Austin talked to Beta Liam and the gamma. They seemed serious, and while Beta Liam looked a little relaxed talking to Austin, Gamma had his back straight and his eyes focused. I almost forgot Austin was till the alpha of the pack, due to how used to him I have become. It was crazy, really, because some months ago, I would have my back as stiff as the Gamma's had Austin looked my way.They finished talking and Beta Liam gave Austin a friendly hug and a handshake, and Austin returned it with a bright smile.He entered the car and leaned over to me, instantly making me hold my breath. He smirked, then leaned further and drew out my seat belt.I slowly released my breath as he moved away and he smiled at me then started the car. It really did feel like a vacation, even thouhh it felt a little weird, with the real reason we were going there still lingering in my mind.We soon left the vicinity of the pack and took a short bush path before coming to a seemingly endless c
The Alpha's Substitute Luna Punishment for Conceiving the Alpha's Heir
I held Austin's arm tight as she took a step closer to me, and her eyes slowly drifted across to Austin. I turned instinctively to him, but his face was set in expressionless too, his hand holding my waist to keep me on my feet. Seeing him so determined gave me a big of confidence and I swallowed as I turned back to the healer."So she is the one. The substitute I have heard of.""Just check her, healer. Her status does not affect anything." Austin said, his voice cold.She flickered her eyes to him, then back at me. "All of that is good and all, but...do you not realize how powerful a mate bond is? How can an entire pack be so nonchalant towards a mate bond, especially that of the alpha? What were you thinking?"My breath hitched as her eyes thinned in a little judgemental look. I could tell she didn't have good news for us. My eyes lifted to Alpha Evander behind us. He looked a little disgusted too, like he absolutely didn't understand how Austin could disregard a mate bond to be wi
