I Refuse To Be Your Luna Novels & Stories

But I refuse back down. He is behind the desk leaning forward, I lean on the other side and stare him in the eyes not blinking. “I will not submit,” I say out loud so Rebecca can hear it. “I’m Luna of the Black Hills Pack, daughter of the Beta, I will not submit to you or anyone.” “I am your mate and this is not a child’s game,” he snips at me.

“You need to realise we can never be. You need to find someone else to love. Someone who can return those feelings. You, your pack and your family deserve that. Deserve a Luna who will treat you well.” “Zaia, please don’t ask me-” “Atticus! Please.” I say in an urgent whisper as I glance around, not wanting to cause a scene. Our eyes meet and I give him an apologetic look. “I am sorry, but I am not your Luna and I never will be.”

Luna. The word unsettles me. Almost as much as the thought of being mated to Kingston does. “I’m not going to be Luna.” “What’s that?” “He rejected my father, in front of everyone,” I say. “It’s merely a matter of time before he comes to reclaim it.” “You will not accept it,” he snaps, “You have to be Luna. It’s not like anyone else is lining up for you, no one this great at least.” “Kingston has a girlfriend,” I swallow. No woman wants a mate that’s obsessed with another woman, much less the woman who made her life hell. “He doesn’t want me.”

Just present. Drax lowered his arms slow. Blood ran from a new cut on his forehead. "What are you?" he asked. His voice sounded quieter now. "I am the Rejected Luna," I said. "The one you threw away. The one who did not break." He took a step toward me. His hand reached out again but slower. "Come back with me. We can start over. The bond can be made right." I looked at his hand. For one second the old hurt came back. The pain from the clearing when he said no. The way everyone turned away from me. But the hurt did not make me small anymore. It made me steady.

The quiet acceptance of what that meant. I stepped forward slightly, placing myself between them and both Aisha and Krager. “That’s not happening,” I said. The guard’s eyes narrowed. “You’re not in a position to refuse.” A bitter smile touched my lips. “Am I not?” He took a step closer. “You’ve already lost your standing,” he said. “You have no authority here.” That did it. Something inside me snapped into place. Cold. Clear. Deadly. “I am your Luna,” I said, my voice low but carrying enough weight to make even the trees listen. “And you will stand down.”

“No, it's not about rumors. Aaron, I don't want to have anything to do with you, so please just forget whatever we had.” “Not until I know what is wrong. You are not telling me something.” Luna fumed, grinding her teeth in irritation. “Why can't you simply accept it and move on?” “Move on?” I scoffed. “Sorry, Moonshine but that phase is never going to come.”

Darius leaned over the page, his face draining of color. "Alpha," he whispered. "We have a problem." Kael stared at the name. For the first time in his life, he did not know which members of his own household he could trust. And Aria, one hand resting protectively over her unborn child, realized that the greatest threat to her family might already be standing behind the walls of the pack that had once called her Luna.

I was still working out what to say to her. The old Luna let out a cold laugh. “I was reborn too. I brought you to my side to ask you one thing. Why won't you be Luna this time? That scene at the pool, the one that washed the potion off you, I'm the one who had Theo arrange it. Years ago I was carrying a child, and I drank the broth my mate sent me and lost it. He was a monster, the most selfish creature alive. That is why I mean to destroy him.”

If she tells them the truth—that she is gambling her future to destroy the people who ruined her—they will lock her away forever. "Mom, just order," Luna sighs, pushing the menu across the table. Mr. Quinn ignores the menu. He stares daggers at the man across from him. "Why do you like my daughter?" Nathan's hands clench on his slacks. "Luna is kind. She has a beautiful heart. She..." He swallows hard. "She is perfect. I love everything about her." Mr. Quinn barks a harsh laugh. "Hypocrite." He leans forward, eyes blazing. "If she is so perfect, why did your family refuse to let her go four years ago? Is that how the Vanes treat the people they love?!"

As expected from Amor’s beta. As if I would try to run away or maybe they were suspecting a conspiracy from me. Well, if they were. It was quite understandable. But if Zahir was insisting on the meeting to be private, there must be some reason, right? “I am not your luna,” I said. “And I am not bound by any politics right now. I am just Zeve. Plus, Alpha Amor or the royalty haven’t officially declared my status as being the future luna. Zahir is a good friend of mine and perhaps of your alpha too. I would like you to respect our relationship.”
