The Replacement Luna
The day before his Alpha Induction, Luke destroyed everything.
He’d spent years obsessed with a weak Omega—a girl promised to Reno, the lethal Alpha of the Northern Territory. Luke couldn't stomach losing her, so he crashed their ceremony and took her by force.
That same night, he Marked her in front of everyone.
The Pack held their breath, waiting for my family to become the biggest joke in the territory. I braced for the humiliation, expecting to be the girl everyone pitied.
I was wrong.
The next morning, I found Reno leaning against my balcony railing.
He was massive—broad-chested with arms built for violence. He smelled like raw power and imminent danger. He didn't look like a man who had just lost a mate; he looked like a man looking for a trade.
"Luke stole my female," he rumbled, his dark eyes locking onto mine. "I want you as her replacement. Be my Luna. It’s a fair trade, don’t you think?"
I didn't hesitate. I looked him dead in the eye and nodded.
"It is," I replied. "I’m in."
