The Substitute Luna Novels & Stories

I am smarter. I clicked on the 'receive' icon and a blonde man appeared on the screen. "Oh, I am sorry. You are not Beta Marcus." He said. I rested on the couch with my laptop on my desk. "Of course. That's because I am the Luna and I am the real dealer and not Marcus. Marcus was just a substitute then." I made him understand. "Oh, you are the Luna. I am sorry your highness." He apologized. "It's fine. I assume you didn't know."

We’ve been together since you were born’ she said ‘I know sia, I just wish I had you like this through those times, I really felt weak and almost gave up’ ‘You were never weak Monna, you’ve always been strong, those times was to train you to be ready to take your crown’ sia said ‘My crown?’ I asked confused ‘Yes Monna, you are the Queen Luna’ ‘Queen Luna? What are you saying?’ I asked more confused ‘Yes Monna, you are the queen of the entire werewolf clan’ ‘Huh?’ I almost found it funny ‘What are you saying Sia?’ I asked again amused ‘You will soon get to know, when the time is right’ sia said and blocked out the mind link Queen Luna? What’s that? I know if Ivan and I mate and he finally mar

“Good. And you understand why this is a need you must fulfill, rather than his Luna?” “The Luna is a co-leader of the pack. She trains the warriors and commands social events. And, when the time comes, she will bear the future heir of the pack. All honorable Alphas respect their Luna too much to act out their true fantasies on,” I said, echoing the words first said to me when I learnt of my fate.

Did he want to do something to me, I'm a stranger after all and nobody would know. “The only reason I'm doing this is because my Luna is missing and…you look just like her, so you’re going to be a substitute for her till I find her. You’ll be here till I find her. You will obey everything I said and in return, I will protect you and pay you handsomely if everything goes as planned.”

“More than you will ever know. But I can’t. I’m bound to him. He saved my life. He trusts me. I swore an oath.. I am his Beta—” “What about the oath you made to me?” My voice shattered. “What about the nights you promised you’d never let anyone hurt me? What about when you said I’d never face the world alone?” He closed his eyes like the words pierced him. “You’re not alone,” he whispered. “I AM!” My voice cracked. “Because right now I’m not your lover. I’m not even myself. I’m just—” My breath trembled. “A substitute Luna.” The words tasted like poison.

All looking at her with expectation. “I’m not your queen,” Luna said. Voice strong but soft. “I’m not your goddess. I’m Luna. Daughter of Elena. Daughter of Valen. Mate of Damian. Wolf of Two Moons who chose Many Moons.” She paused. Looked at each face in the crowd. “And from today, there are no more Courts. No more Silver Moon. No more Blood Moon. No more Free Wolves. There’s just us. Wolves. With as many moons as we have choices to make.”

Stopping beside him, she spoke calmly, “Is there anything I can help you with?” Her eyes softened slightly as she continued, “I am the Luna. I’m supposed to help you carry the responsibilities of the pack.” For a brief moment, silence filled the area around them. Aurora waited for Damien to answer. But he said nothing. Instead— Cassandra laughed softly. A mocking sound. Aurora slowly turned toward her. Cassandra crossed her arms elegantly before speaking. “Who do you think you are?” Aurora’s expression hardened slightly. Cassandra stepped closer.

Sebastian calmly stated. Luna nodded her head firmly. “With all due respect, Mr. Sebastian, I applied for a job at The Louvre Art Gallery. When the judge picked me, I assumed that I was going to be a part of their team. Nobody said anything about this being an outsourcing program.” Luna's voice was sharp. Sebastian leaned forward, his hands on the table, the chair squeaking softly under his weight. He didn’t seem rushed, though Luna’s pulse was racing faster than she could comprehend.

Someone’s phone was blaring out what sounded like a live broadcast, and one with a voice that was all too familiar. “Yes, it’s horrible, but I’m afraid it’s true!” Louisa said passionately. “My sister, the soon-to-be Luna of Eclipse Pack, is a wolf who can’t shift!”

“It’s the logical thing to do. Your wife is gone, Damien. Everyone knows it. You need someone by your side, someone strong, capable, and... loyal. Someone who can help you lead.” “I didn’t invite you here to discuss my personal life,” I said sharply. “And I don’t know why you think you know what I need.” “But that’s what this is about, isn’t it?” She placed a hand on her hip, the red fabric of her dress catching the light. “You need a Luna.” “I have a Luna,” I tell her , hoping to end the conversation at this point. “But she’s gone,” she persisted. “It's been a year and she’s nowhere to be found. So you should take a new one. And I’m right here, Damien. I’ve always been here. Ready and willi
