All Chapters of A Luna for the beast : Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

*Isabella* My name is Isabella, and I am going to die tonight in a red dress that is not mine.The dress was too beautiful to die in. Red silk, off-shoulder, the kind Luna's from the city wear. The elders bought it with the village money. They said the Beast likes red. He likes to see blood on red."Walk," my father hissed, pushing me into the Black Forest. His hand shook on my back. Not from sadness. From fear.I was twenty-one and I had never shifted. In a world where every girl gets her wolf at eighteen, I was wolfless. Cursed. That was why they chose me. The cursed girl for the cursed Alpha.The forest was silent. The full moon above was huge and red, the blood moon from legends. The same moon from your cover photo."He will kill you fast," my little sister Luna had whispered while tying my red dress. "The Beast does not torture. He breaks necks."I heard him before I saw him. A growl that shook the trees.Then he stepped out.He was exactly like the photo. Tall, over six-four, b

*Isabella*I woke up to gold eyes watching me.Kael was no longer chained. He sat in a chair across the huge bedroom, shirtless now, his black wavy hair messy, the gray wolf fur cloak gone from his shoulders and still wrapped around me in the red dress. The huge gray wolf lay on the floor beside the bed, guarding."You howled in your sleep," he said quietly. His voice was hoarse."I don't howl. I am wolfless.""Last night you did. Inside. I felt it."He stood and walked to the bed. He smelled like blood. Fresh."What happened to you?" I sat up, the red silk dress wrinkled."Silver burn. From the chains. It will heal." He showed me his wrists, red and blistered where silver burned.Without thinking, I grabbed his wrist. My hands glowed silver again, faint."Don't -" he tried to pull away."Let me."I pressed my palm over his burn. Warmth flooded out of me, silver light. Kael hissed, but not from pain. The burn under my hand started to fade. The blistered skin smoothed.He stared at my

*Isabella*"My beast wants to mark you so no one ever looks at you in red again."Kael's words sent heat through my whole body, even while his gold eyes were black with beast.He was over me, caging me in his bed, his cursed fur cloak covering both of us like a dark tent, my red dress tangled around my legs. His hands were on either side of my head, claws slightly out, breathing hard against my neck, his white shirt open, his chest heaving."You don't get to say that," I whispered, angry, jealous, scared of the strange pull inside me. "You locked me in. Your ex-Luna was downstairs in red, hugging you, and you told me to stay hidden like a shameful pet. Like I am not good enough to stand next to her.""Shameful?" His eyes flashed gold, hurt and angry. "I locked you to protect you. Selene knows what you are now. If the other Alphas know there is a Silver White alive, they will hunt you. They killed your kind fifty years ago. Do you know what they do to Silver Whites, Isabella? They chai

*Isabella*The Blood Moon Pack was outside.I could smell them even through the mansion walls. Blood, rot, old hunt. Different from Kael's forest scent.Kael carried me downstairs in his silver fur cloak, my naked body hidden, my torn red dress left upstairs. His throat still bled silver where I marked him, glowing in the dark hall. His huge gray wolf walked beside us, growling so loud the chandeliers shook.Selene stood by the great doors, her red dress perfect, but her face pale, terrified. Behind her, pack warriors held silver spears."They followed my scent," she whispered, looking at me in Kael's arms. "They want her, Kael. They smelled Silver White when she shifted. Blood Moon Alphas can smell Silver White shift from miles. They have been hunting her kind for fifty years.""How many?" Kael's voice was pure beast."Twenty. Maybe more. Led by Alpha Rourke," Selene said. "He was my... he was who I ran to."Kael's eyes went black. "You brought them here? To my mansion? To my Luna?"

*Isabella* I had marked him first. Now it was his turn. Kael circled me in the bedroom, his silver-white cloak dragging on the floor. My own small silver-white fur had gone, back to human skin, but my scent was still Luna. Still his. "Do you know what you did, little bride?" he whispered, gold eyes bright. "No one has ever marked an Alpha first. Especially not a Beast Alpha. You claimed me before I could claim you." "I had to," I said, standing in my new red Luna dress - not the cheap sacrifice dress, the real one he bought. Soft, expensive, worthy. "Your beast was hurting." He stopped behind me, his chest to my back. His claws were gentle as they pushed my hair to one side, baring my neck. "Silver Whites mark different," he said, voice low. "Your bite on my shoulder glows silver. It healed my silver burn. Now, I have to give you mine. But my bite is... different. It will change you forever. You will never be able to leave. You will be Luna of Shadowfang. My Luna. Mine." "I wan
