To Be a Luna SIX
It was tradition for the Alpha to organize a pack dinner with the whole pack to make a first official appearance with the Luna. I was informed about the dinner just two hours before the dinner because Conrad didn’t want anyone in my room but himself.He only allowed a lady I had come to know as Sam to bring me food. I had been in the room for a whole day. I enjoyed it, as I didn’t want to see anyone else’s face. If Conrad didn’t make random visits to my room to torment me, I would have considered it a dream life.As if he could sense my thoughts, he walked in with a black dress. He dropped the dress on the bed and stood straight.It was easy for me to forget how unrealistic he looked because I had been more focused on painting instead of giving him more thought than I should have, but that took a toll on me whenever he was in front of me.Every time he looked at me, like now, I would get an unnatural kick in my chest. I could feel my hands getting clammy against my paintbrush. I h
To Be a Luna SEVEN
My eyes watered, my vision blurred, my mind whirred.Selena had told me about what she had felt when she was first marked by her mate. It was sharp and painful at first, but then the tingles spread. She felt ecstatic.But nothing else followed for me.Sharp pain came after sharp pain as I struggled to rid myself of his tight grip.When he finally let me go, I slumped into my seat. My neck burned as I felt warm liquid seep through the mark. I could hear claps but I could barely see.Before I could excuse myself to go upstairs, I fell against the floor, darkness enveloping me.~I groaned, sitting up. My head hurt, but not as much as my neck did. I touched my neck and found that it was bandaged up. I held my head in my hands as it pounded without stop.“How do you feel?” I jumped as a familiar voice came from the window.Conrad leaned against the wall beside the window with his arms crossed, watching me. He was trying to cover up some type of anger, but I could still see it.“
To Be a Luna EIGHT
The last thing I remembered before I blacked out was the padding of my mate’s feet on the ground as he approached me, his eyes wanting. No, needing.I also remembered the immensity of the pain and the heat that whirled in my stomach. It was a fierce pain, hard to forget.Now, lying in an unfamiliar bed, staring at the ceiling of an unfamiliar room, I couldn’t help but wonder what had happened that night. I thought of how long it had been, if I had gone into a coma of some sort.I craned my head to the right and let out a weak breath from my lips. I felt dead. I didn’t know if it was my body that was hot or the air in the room.Since the windows in the room were open, I settled with the thought that it was my body. I was probably still in heat. If that was the case, then it meant Conrad had refused to mate with me.I didn’t know how to feel about it. On one hand, I was grateful to the Moon Goddess for it. On the other, I was hurt.While I was still in the middle of my torn though
To Be a Luna NINE
The countdown to when my life would officially be at stake for all who were around to see, was down to three minutes.I was standing at a far end of the field, sick to my stomach. What made me feel that way was not the near end growing closer – although that was a part of it – but the excitement in the air at the thought of someone dying.As much as I didn’t want to think of myself as a mere animal for litter, I couldn’t help but almost laugh at the fact that I was, in fact, an animal. But so were they.I made my way to the middle of the crowd which increased with each passing minute. I could see Conrad heading toward me and Frazier.When he got to the middle of the crowd and stood between us, he cleared his throat. “Good day, everyone!”What is good about the day, Conrad? I almost sneered at him.“Today, we’ll be having a death match between my Beta and your Luna.” Cheers erupted. He didn’t call me his mate. Just their Luna.“I advice that you sit tight, relax, and if any one
To Be a Luna TEN
Death was…not what I expected it to be.Death was dark and cold, with a steady beep and pain. The pain was the worst. I felt it everywhere. Would I be meeting the Moon Goddess with the memory of every physical pain I had gone through before my death?Perhaps not.This pain wasn’t physical. It was everywhere, but it originated from one source. I rued every second I spent there, not knowing what state my body was in.I remembered everything. Every punch, every kick, every painful word Frazier inflicted way beneath my skin. I remembered my weakness. I remembered my mate sitting there, not doing anything until he was sure I was about to die, so I would think in my last moments that he actually cared about me.I was in limbo, I guessed. The Moon Goddess had not arrived yet. I was only just swimming through my time on earth and the memories that came with it.Every moment I spent with Selena, laughing, baking, yelling, crying, painting.And that’s when I felt a sharp, fiery texture i
To Be a Luna ELEVEN
The first response Selena got from me was a chuckle. “Okay, Selena. Nice try. I get that you’re trying to lighten the mood by playing a prank, but I’m being serious right now.”“You think I’m making jokes about this?” She raised a brow at me. There was nothing on her face or in her tone that depicted an air of lightness – she was telling the truth.I scrambled away from her like the air around her was scalding. I didn’t know if I was trying to run away from her or from my own skin. I stood up, my eyes boiling over with hot tears.“I saw it. I saw it happen. Con-Conrad. He beat Frazier up. I saw that! I was unconscious! How could I have killed a person?” Selena stood up, sensing my crisis. She pulled me into her chest and kissed my hair repeatedly as I cried over her shoulder, staining her green cotton dress with my tears.“I know, sweetheart. I’m as surprised as you are. Everyone watched it happen. One minute, Conrad was on top of him, beating the hell out of him. We all thought y
To Be a Luna TWELVE
There was barely any time between Deimos lying on the floor and me pulling him up, bombarding him with every question I had.“I have a father? A real one? Where is he? How do you know him? Does he belong in a pack somewhere? How far is it?”“You can’t possibly be falling for that, Athena. You’re willing to leave this pack and just…go?” Selena questioned in disbelief that broke my heart.“What has this pack ever given me, Selena? What has it given you? You can come with me. We’ll live—”“You’re not going anywhere. And if you are, it’s definitely not with him.” Conrad interrupted me, glaring at Deimos.“I’m sorry, is she not old enough to make her own decisions?” Deimos raised his brows, feigned confusion on his face.“Listen to me, Athena.” Selena pulled me so that I was now facing her. “He doesn’t want the best for you. He’s only going to use you and nothing more! Your father…” she stopped herself from going further. “You can’t leave this pack.”I frowned at her, having anythin
To Be a Luna THIRTEEN
It was blurry. It was all blurry. Loud thunder and random flashes of lightning followed me around the woods, the water falling from the sky helping to wipe off my tears.I didn’t know how long I had been running. My feet were weary, but I couldn’t stop. I didn’t know how to. My heart felt like it was going to combust as it shattered and came back together over and over.You’re the daughter of an Alpha.It was impossible. If I had an Alpha for a father, why was I an outcast in a completely different pack? There was no logic that could hold that information together. Nothing.It was cold out in the forest and I was pretty sure I was lost. My feet failed me and I was falling face down on wet leaves and dirt. I stayed there for goddess knew how long, crying my eyes out and sniffling.The drops of rain pelted me like they were scolding me, telling me to get up and find a way to sort things out. If only things were that simple. If only the woman I had taken as my mother for twenty year
