The Substitute Luna Novels & Stories

Vulnerable and easy to steer. Time for the swap. My real backup plan sat in the van behind the building. A body similar in size and age. Her face was close enough in resemblance to Elsa that they could pass for siblings. Wrapped her in the ruined dress I prepared, blood placed exactly where it needed to be. Tradition, according to Mira, said that a Luna was buried in a closed casket, but Riguel was unpredictable. I wasn’t taking chances. I moved quickly. The substitute on the table looked convincing enough. When the pack came back, they’d see what they expected: a dead Luna. End of story.

"What else?" Luke’s voice was physically shaking now. "When you said 'Luna'... what exactly did you mean by that?" Reno’s mouth curved, but before he could deliver the killing blow, I stepped forward. "Luke," I said, my voice steady and clear. "He is my mate. The Alpha I’m bonding with today? It's him."

She looked tired, almost as if she had been carrying something heavy on her mind for a long time. “I apologize for coming to see you on such short notice,” Leah said. My mouth almost fell open. Leah? Apologizing? How! How? “Okay?” I replied, crossing my arms as I watched her carefully. “I want to inform you about something,” she started. My eyes remained fixed on her, refusing to leave her face. She took a deep breath. “I have decided to step down as the Luna.” My brows immediately furrowed. She continued. “And I would like you to replace me. If you need it, I’m willing to train you. I just want to return the title to its rightful owner.”

She walked right up to me and stopped, smiling evilly under the mask before turning to face the crowd. “I, Michelle Alonso, will become the next Luna!” She declared and smiled at the Luna, who had a horrified look on her face. Everything had finally fallen into place, and soon, everything would be fully complete once Lucian and Killian Nox faced their death in a few minutes.

“Take it as you want it.” “You have no right to talk to me like that, I'm your….” I cut her off. “Luna? The daughter?” I frowned, reminding my awful memories with Davina. How she controlled me and repeatedly kept telling that I was nothing but a family tool. “I am the Luna, the wife of the Lycan Alpha, and you are a nobody, stick to where you belong,” I snapped. It took me a lot of courage to let those words out of my mouth. She already suspects that I'm not Rachel, so I shouldn't increase the suspicion.

“She knew that I would find my mate last night, she knew who my mate was already.” “Ooh who is it, is she from a neighbouring pack?” Mum asks excited. “She’s from this pack.” I reply. Both Mum and Dad look at each other. “It’s Lizzie.” Mum gasps at the information and Dad nods in approval. “Of course, it is. Everything now makes complete sense.” He smiles at me. “I’m happy for you son. We will look after our future Luna in your absence and keep her safe.” Dad promises. “Well, the thing is. I don’t think I can go now, I don’t think I can leave her.”

"Forget it. You and I both know how important it is for your Luna to be present at your succession ceremony. You don't want those people to know that your wife is in a coma, so you have to find someone to stand in her place, someone who looks exactly like her, which makes me the best choice, right? I stared straight into his eyes again and said, without giving him a chance to retort, "Lionel. You're using me as a shield to maintain your image and Luna's position! All the tenderness, care, and concern you've shown me these days... It was all for today, right? To make me be willing to be Jenna's substitute, wasn't it?!" "No! That's not it!" Lionel immediately denied it loudly and firmly. "You

“I think she didn’t die, she is back. I said and he took a swift turn to look at me before signalling with his hand asking who was back. “The rightful Luna of the Pack and betrothed to the Alpha Karl is back but the only thing is she has lost her memory and can’t remember anything, I even heard Alpha Karl call her Avery I guess it’s a name he gave to her to have an identity,” I said waiting for a reaction because we had somehow plotted and I had made sure to do the job of taking Naya Rose the supposed Luna out and so she wouldn’t ever come back but I was wrong I didn’t kill her.

His eyes haven’t left mine. Lee delivers me to Liam, placing my hands in his only to then step in front to conduct the ceremony himself. First is the Luna coronation. Liam gently turns my palm up, linking this may hurt a small amount. I feel no pain as he gently slices my palm and then his own.

she snapped, clearly catching the hint of amusement I couldn’t quite hide. “It is,” I countered, leaning back slightly. “You have no idea what happened. Selene isn’t just Alex’s ex-wife—her sister is the new Luna. She was replaced, almost killed, and now her daughter is all she has left. Why would she betray me when she has no one else to rely on?”
