The Alpha's Substitute Luna

It had been a memorable night for me, and for a long time after that, Austin's face stuck in my mind like a banner.I kind of didn't want to lose it, though. I love staring at it, and even though I knew I got sadder every tine I saw him but didn't get any closer, it still comforted me to a very great extent.Two weeks after the night of the thanksgiving, was the full moon, and then, Alpha Austin was expected to find his mate. Naturally, Omegas would be excluded from the event, especially since they didn't want the Alpha blood tainted.I spiraled further into depression. The love I have held on to longer than I have held on to anything was about to fade into nothing but dust.I hated it.Even more since I wouldn't even attend it.All I could do was watch from the sidelines, and help fix the ceremony."Eve?"She was my friend, who practically lived with me."What now, Hazel? You want to keep crying about how you have seen the alpha and is somehow crazily falling for him that you always

“What do you mean you broke up? You guys were so in love, I am sure you guys still are.” I forced him to release me and look at me, but the sobs that were reverberating through his body did not let him raise his head to me.“I am so sorry, Hazel. But…I just can’t stand being with her when she hates you so much. She said things about you, said things about me and you…it would be bad of me to just leave you because I want to be with her. We go back way longer.”This can’t be happening. The exact thing that Alpha Austin had warned me about was coming true and I couldn’t even do anything about it.“No. I don’t mind Simon. It doesn’t really matter. Do what makes you happy.”He shook his head. “No. We go too far back for me to leave you just like that.” He sniffed, then wiped his eyes with the back of his sleeve. “I will go up and be by myself for some time, okay? Is that alright?”I nodded and he walked away, to his tiny basement room. That was the sort of room most of us omegas had, and s

I swallowed as the crowd started to cheer. Alpha Austin has found his mate, but she is over there. Not me. The woman he is holding.“The Alpha has found his mate, seer. Bless them.”The seer nodded. She was a blind old woman who always kept her eyes closed, but whenever she opened them, they have the moon reflected in them.I watched as she wake up to us, a small smile on her face. She held the water in her hands and it shook slightly from the slight tremble of her body, but it did not fall.“May the moon Goddess…”“Excuse me.” I turned and Catherine was looking at me like she was about to kill me.“This is all a sham. I am the alpha’s mate. I am the only one with the alpha’s scent.”The seer stopped what she was doing and turned to her.My heart was beating wildly in my chest, my body trembling. The seer would know if I was his mate. And I will take the fall alone. It would be even worse if that was to happen.I looked at Alpha Austin who had a small smug smirk on his face.“Oh. Cath

Alpha Austin immediately released me, then turned away leaving my back feeling cold and empty. It was weird how used to his warmth I got in a mtter of minutes, and how much I craved to have him back. Hell, I needed him back. But I was just the chanced Luna. The Omega who is going To depend on a man who isn't even hers for her title in the pack."Al...""You can go now." He said, cutting me off.I nodded meekly and left, the same way Catherine did. She had this effect on him that I wish I had, this hold on the reins of his neart that I would go to the ends of the world in order to get. But it wasn't happening, and I knew.I walked back slowly to the now dispersed gathering. Simon and Eve were still there, probably waiting for me, and Eve ran to me the minute she saw me. Simon followed, but much slower."How was it?""It was perfect." I answered with a small smile."You are one lucky omega, you know that? Alpha Austin dumped that stuck up she-wolf Catherine for you. It sure is a love me

"Catherine." It was the first word I saw when I opened my eyes. Austin had his back to me and just a little lower than his shoulder was the name in a beautiful cursive.My breath hitched in my throat as I sat up on the bed. I didnt know if he was asleep, and I didn't even know where to go to. Should I go back to the pack house?I am sure the grand alpha and Lily would be around this morning. And the countless omegas that worked in the house too.But I couldn't stay here and watch his tattooed back like this. I sat there, lost and my palms covering my face. I suddenly heard himmove, and I lifted my head up."You're awake." He said to me."Just a minute ago." He stood up from the bed, and grabbed his shirt. I had been the one to remove it last night, but after that..."Alpha...last night...""You called me Austin last night, I am sure."I swallowed. "Yes. Austin...last night...""You made a promise you are not sure you are going to be able to keep."I lifted my eyes to him. "I guess I
