Wrong Bride, True Luna

Amelia I knew that sleeping with my sister’s mate was the worst mistake of my life the moment I woke up next to Alpha Logan. But now, a year later, it’s even worse. Pregnant—I’m pregnant.“Congratulations, Luna Katherine,” Dr. Morris says and the warm smile she flashes me makes me feel more anxious than ever. “You’re three months along and the pregnancy is progressing beautifully from what I can see. You and Alpha Logan must be thrilled.” All this time, I assumed the dizziness, fatigue and nausea were nothing but signs of a minor disease, perhaps a food poisoning that dragged out too long, or an allergic reaction to something I ate, but not this.My violet eyes, hidden by the green contact lenses I’ve worn for a year now, burn with unshed tears. For the doctor, I probably look like an overwhelmed woman, savoring the happy news, but in reality, I’m dreading what comes next. With trembling hands, I grip the papers she handed me and my nails break through the page, sinking into the f

AmeliaToday is the day of my mother’s funeral. Mother has always been kind to others, despite the distance she kept with me, so almost the entire pack, aside from a couple of patrol wolves, have gathered to pay their respects at the end of her journey. Plus, my father, as the head warrior, is also deeply respected so it’s pretty logical that many came to support him. As Luna of the Ravencrest Pack, I’m supposed to be strong enough to stand with Logan and lead the funeral later. But, as I sit in the dressing room, tugging at my dress, I feel like my heart is being ripped out of my chest. Nobody cares. Everyone’s too focused on their own grief to notice that I’m hurting too.On top of that, Katherine’s return haunts me. No one tells me when she’s coming back, all I got was a warning from father to stay out of her way. Taking a deep breath, I lift the Moonraven necklace, which marks my position as Luna, and fasten it around my neck. As I steel myself toward the door, it bursts open b

Amelia Katherine stands in the living room, in all her glory, grinning at me like she’s been expecting me to return. I’m not surprised that the moment her eyes find me, she starts mocking me. “Did poor little Amelia decide to come home, hmm? How’s your arm, sister dearest? Does it hurt?” I try to show no reaction, which only eggs her on to become more nasty with her words. “Does it sting, Amelia? To stand there, and watch Logan save me without showing even a glimpse of worry about your pathetic life?” Katherine takes a few steps closer and stops in an arms reach from me. “You’re pretty hard headed, aren’t you? How long will it take for you to understand that you’re not welcome here? Nobody likes you, Amelia, nobody cares if you were to drop dead right this moment!” Obviously, her words get to me. It’s not because she’s great at getting under my skin, it’s because she’s not lying. Deep down, I know that every word that leaves her lips is truthful and she’s not the only one who thi

AmeliaAfter leaving the house, I didn’t bother to look back. This pack has nothing to offer me and giving them one last glance would be giving the respect no one around here deserves. By the time I reach the border area, I’m clutching the straps of the bag Katherine threw at me so hard, my knuckles turn white. For some reason, the pack border patrol started locking down the borders. In any other situation, I’d probably freak out because then, I’d be locked in the same as others. However, since I have a backup plan, I just hang out close by the border and wait for Professor Michael. When he pulls up with his car, I get inside and hide under a blanket between the back of the driver’s seat and the passenger seat. Luckily for me, Professor Michael used to be a close friend of my father, so all the pack members know him pretty well and the guards don’t bother to inspect his vehicle carefully enough to find me.For once, their arrogance pays to my advantage - they’re too confident that

AmeliaThe next morning, I wake up bright and early, my nerves too coiled to sleep easily. My wolf keeps reminding me that everything will be okay, we are safe and there’s a brighter future ahead of us, but given how my life has been so far, I can’t help but worry, even if unnecessarily. I focus on my morning routine the same as I would at home. Shower, brushing teeth, getting dressed, and once I’m ready, I sit on the bed, waiting for Michael to come and get me for the meeting with the Alpha. Thankfully, I don’t get enough time to overthink because Michael arrives soon after. He knocks on the door, opens it ajar and pokes his head in, then grins at me. “Up bright and early as always, eh?” “Good morning,” I say with a smile and stand up to walk towards him. Michael opens the door wider and steps aside, letting me exit the bedroom. Then, he stands next to me, nods at the hall and speaks. “Ready?” “As ready as I’ll ever be,” I say, let out a steady breath and start walking. For som
