The Luna sold as a Pawn returns!

LIORA BROOKS“STAY STILL AND it will all be over soon,”“It” was my uncle trying to have his way with me. I pushed him away with all my might as he pressed himself closer to me, groping my breasts and pinning me on the table.“Uncle Sylvester, please,” I begged, kicking at him. The kick connected firmly with his shin and he cursed under his breath.“You stupid bitch!” his breath was heavy with alcohol. It would take a lot of bottles to get a werewolf drunk, so he must have been intentional about getting drunk tonight. “You think I don’t see you? Flashing those succulent tits at me and now you are trying to form innocent!” he growled.Even in his drunken state, he was still stronger than me, and that was not a surprise because I was light and malnourished.“I can see that you don’t want this the easy way!” he snarled, slapping me across my cheek. My face stung but I ignored the pain, determined not to let him succeed even though my efforts were proving more futile and I was starting to

LIORA BROOKSDUSK CAME QUICKLY and I found my opportunity. Neither Natalie nor my uncle Sylvester was back, so it was easy for me to sneak out without any issue. I grabbed some snacks from the fridge before I slipped out the door.The hard part was trying to avoid the people of the pack and the patrol guards, they would definitely seize me and take me back to my uncle to be punished, which I knew he would do with glee. Avoiding being noticed in a werewolf pack was harder than it sounds because you don’t only have to remain visually hidden, you also have to make sure that you remain on the opposite side of the wind to prevent your scent from being carried to the people – and they would investigate and find you. That was the hardest part as I crept through the woods. I kept my head down, occasionally crawling on all fours. I went on for long minutes, but I knew that I was not even close to getting to the border. The Blackspire pack had a very large land size, but I was determined even

LIORA BROOKSTHE PAST FEW weeks could be a fairytale for me as I lived in the pack house. I was still ostracized by most of my peers as they believed what Natalie said to them, but I was not bothered by any of those. My life had gotten considerably better. I remained in the pack house, I didn’t even leave the small assigned to me. My meals were brought to me, the only face I saw almost every evening was Robert Jr.He came to my room and kept me company. I hated to admit it but I was starting to fall for him. It was more than a crush. It was how I would imagine love to feel. I always had a nagging thought at the back of my head that he was betrothed to my cousin, and they would be mated. There was no space for him, but I could not help myself.Every day, I looked forward to the evening when he would come to chat or teach me how to play his video games. But even though we were friends, I still could not tell him the truth about how my uncle treated me and what he planned to do to me. I

CASSIAN"AS YOU CAN see, we are not a small pack by any means," Beta Sylvester said, chuckling with pride. "And we have some of the best warriors."Cassian chuffed, unimpressed."Try to smile," Ryan urged through the mindlink, but Cassian ignored. His brain reminded him of the scent that wafted into his nose a few minutes ago, and he sighed in contentment."Welcome to the pack hall," Sylvester said. "And you are our honored guest."Cassian looked around the hall. It was decorated with round tables, each with 4 chairs. There were a lot of people present, eating and drinking."Come, I will introduce you to our alpha, the future alpha and Luna," Sylvester said.Cassian reluctantly followed."The hall is impressive, though," Ryan muttered."More impressive than their defense," Cassian agreed. "I would cut through all of them without even breaking a sweat.""Ah, look. Our guests are here," Alpha Robert said loudly. "Let us welcome Cassian Lancaster." He paused for dramatic effect, then add

-LIORA-MY HEART WAS broken, and my spirit was shattered. I had run out of energy to cry. My eyes were dry and itchy all the time, and I constantly felt pressure in my chest.I felt stupid and used. After saving myself all these years for my fated mate and defending myself from my uncle, I gave myself to Robert Junior, who ended up using me. The thought of it made me teary again. I have been in this new pack for almost a month, and I have mostly kept to myself. I was grateful that I was left alone. No one bullied or tried to talk to me.None of the men who had brought me here had come to see me. Only a woman who introduced herself as Sienna spoke to me. She gave me gentle orders on my duties for the day, and she was the one who had shown me where to sleep and some clothes.My stomach felt queasy as I wiped down the table. I was almost done for the day. I placed a hand on my belly and squeezed it gently. I had a dreading suspicion of what the nausea and morning sickness were. I was
