14 - His Luna

AMBER.

Dinner was pleasant and welcoming, only because Zach didn’t join us.

I didn’t mind at all. I didn’t want my first night to be ruined. Even if he didn’t want me here, the rest of his household did. It was enough to bring my confidence up.

It was also the last dinner before Uncle Riley and Aunt Nadia would drive to the Council Territory. They would take Winter with them, which the latter didn’t like. She would rather stay here, but her parents were not bending on that despite the tears she shed.

But all ended well.

Mindy, on the other hand, was so timid that she would rarely raise her head to look at us. This bothered me because I had already heard from Hanna some things about her and what she went through from her previous Alpha.

I was concerned that she was forced to be here. Only when I really looked into her and her interaction with Arlo did everything make sense.

She was uncomfortable with this new place and everyone around her, but her face lit up whenever Arlo attended

    BETA ARLO. It was Mindy’s first night here, so I wanted to retire to bed early. I left Gamma Drake at the training building before rushing home to where my mate was. She was in the kitchen, so I headed there directly, only to find Lady Amber with her. It was not an unusual sight because, before the accident, Amber was comfortable in every part of this house. She also had a good relationship with the Omegas, so she was often there with them if Zach was busy doing pack-related things or in a meeting. But what I heard caught me off guard. Zach met his fated mate, and he didn’t say anything to me. After Lady Amber arrived and it was decided she would stay, I went to his office and asked if he was okay. I found him deep in his thoughts. I thought it was a natural thing, as his ex-fiancée was here. He said he was fine and told me we should proceed with having Mindy join the pack as planned. So we did that. He swore Mindy in, but after that, we were dismissed immediately. Before I left

    AMBER.I was with Mindy at the library on the second floor. I was teaching her about the geography of the pack—all the borders and what the neighboring packs around them are.Aunt Jenny initially offered to give her an overview, but since I had nothing to do in my free time, I asked if I could help. She let me handle this, but she told me that in exchange, she expected me to join Mindy during her training so I could have my wolf out soon. I was grateful for that. I almost forgot how much Aunt Jenny helped my mother when they were younger and how she helped her push her wolf out.Her wolf, Sapphire, was, in fact, the first wolf that Meadow connected with when Mom shifted. So I know how much this meant for both of us if she could also help me with my wolf. “Lady Amber,” Arlo’s voice startled me. I didn’t notice he had entered the library. “Are they here?” That was all I could come up with as my heart began thudding loudly.He nodded. “They’re ten minutes away from the packhouse.”I be

  • HEART OF A TRUE LUNA   17 - Meeting Her Pt1

    AMBER. I knew I was not invited to show up and meet her, but the stupid side of my head got the best of me. I was already here, so I better make my presence known, too. I ran to my bedroom and rushed to choose a dress. I usually wore modest and conservative dresses, as only Zach knew about that naughty part of me. My minis—shorts, skirts, and dresses—were reserved for times I was with him alone. But it wouldn’t hurt to put on a sexy but still cute dress, especially since his mate was wearing just regular jeans and a sleeveless tank top. Her breasts might be bigger, but mine weren’t small either. Zach said they were more than enough for his hands and mouth.Ugh. I should stop thinking about Zach.In the end, I chose a beige ribbed square-neck mini dress with long sleeves that hugged my body and breasts perfectly. The low neckline was beautiful and complimented my skin. I loved it!The dress ended way above my mid-thighs. In short—it was too short—something I would never wear wheneve

    AMBER.“I can drive you there.” Drake volunteered.“No, you’re not,” Zach said without taking his eyes off me, his forehead creasing. I kept my face smiling even if my heart was clenching. I motioned with my hands, letting Drake know I was okay. “I’ll be fine.”“I have no schedule or anything unless you want something from me, Alpha.” Drake turned his attention to him. “I promised Sidney I would have her see the surroundings so she can familiarize herself, at least around the packhouse. But I’m worn out already.”“Arlo can do that,” Drake replied almost immediately. “Aren’t the Betas supposed to…”“I’m telling you to do it. Arlo has Mindy to attend to, so while he’s at it, I expect your presence to be with Sidney if she needs to be somewhere.”“Got it, Alpha.” Drake bowed his head in submission. I slowly stepped backward, not wanting to draw more attention because my eyes were watering. I felt discarded and unimportant compared to her. It was a wrong idea to make my presence known

  • HEART OF A TRUE LUNA   19 - His Mate

    BETA ARLO. Over the years, I’d seen how Zach fell in love with Amber without the pull of the mate bond. I saw how he looked at her, especially when she wasn’t aware—there was love and desire. But not with Sidney. Not with his own mate. She might be human, but she was not the first human mated to a werewolf. We ran in circles with these kinds of couples—the nearest one was Zach’s own grandfather, who was mated to Grandma Laura.Grandma Laura was human, but despite not feeling the spark or smelling a mate bond scent, I could tell she was smitten with Grandpa Theo. And there was also Alpha Darvin and Luna Celeste of the Moonstone Pack, Zach’s godparents. I didn’t see anything like that, not just with Zach but also with Sidney. If I have to say so, Sidney was more interested in talking to Amber. I could only deduce she was also in this game, and Zach specifically told her to be nice to her. Knowing Amber, she would feel guilty and might give up on her own if Sidney continued to befri

    BETA ARLO. “Didn’t you hear me? I said we’ll discuss it some other time! Go rest!” Zach’s voice was slightly higher.Amber’s breathing hitched, and I was sure her eyes squinted as her nose flared. “Such a sour mood, Alpha! Keep that up, and Sidney will surely run off here, and you’ll be all alone again!”She didn’t wait for any response and walked out on us.I think she overdid it. The table fell silent, and I could hear if a pin dropped. My heart clenched at the look on Zach’s face before he lowered his eyes to look at his plate. Amber’s words pained him. But, like always, the pain was gone in seconds.He began eating and told Sidney to eat, too. “Did you give Amber those flowers?” I heard Ara ask Drake in almost a whisper, but I was sure everyone at the table heard it.“No. She said Edmond gave it to her.”“Who’s Edmond?” Sidney asked before she clamped her hand over her mouth. “I’m sorry, I couldn’t help but overhear.”Ara giggled softly and shook her head. “No worries. It’s not

    ZACH.Introducing a human mate was the safest I could go. No one could Alpha command me to admit the truth, and as long as Sidney wouldn’t budge, no one would know about the deal. Humans mated to werewolves would never feel the spark, nor could they succumb to an Alpha Command.I thought I was a step ahead. Meeting Sidney was not a problem. We talked and agreed on the money and the conditions I laid out for her. One thing I made clear to her was that my sisters were off-limits. I forgot about Amber. In the few hours since I met her, the only time I saw her smile too wide was in front of her. A part of it was my fault because I hadn’t told her yet who the female I wanted away in my life was. But if she ended up befriending her, or worse, crushing on her, then Sidney would surely fail on the task I was paying her for. In all honesty, I didn’t have a concrete plan. I got desperate when the Omegas I instructed not to let Amber around the kitchen asked why. I blurted out I found their

    AMBER.I locked myself in my bedroom after my encounter with Zach. Arlo told me he was moving me to another room, as I was currently on the fourth floor, the same floor as Zach.He reminded me it would be the same floor where Sidney would be, so I was better off not encountering them. Also, the bedroom I took was at the far end of the corridor. My door was just in front of the elevator that Zach uses to transfer floors. Sooner or later, I would bump into them even if I tried to avoid them. I had just finished packing my clothes and putting them back into my luggage when I received a video call request. I immediately answered as I’d been waiting for this call all day.“Can you say that again? Zach brought home a female with you there?” Catherine exclaimed from the other line. I was on a video call with her, Cassidy, and Amara.I nodded my head. “What an asshole!” Cassidy blurted.“She’s his fated mate.” I’d been telling them that, but it was like they kept ignoring that part.“Wait,

    AMBER.I left his chair in the middle of the living room before returning to the door to close and lock it. When I turned around, he was already facing me and was locking his chair. “Come here…” He patted his thighs, and I wasted no time in sitting on his lap, straddling him. Zach cupped my face as he looked deeply into my eyes. “I don’t know what you heard, but I assume you heard about Estelle and Alpha Grant wanting me to take her as my Luna.”I nodded, and he continued. “I didn’t tell you because I didn’t want you to think about it. After all the pain I gave you, you don’t deserve these additional worries.”“But I wished you still told me…” I said while smoothing the collar of his shirt.He let out a sigh and removed his hands from my face. “I’m sorry. I meant well, but like what happened in the past two years, my lapse of judgment has been apparent with every decision I made.” “Like you said, you meant well. I could never hold that against you, but now, I want to know everythin

    AMBER.“I should get going. Zach is still in the car, and I told him I was only here to convince you he didn’t want to claim Estelle.” Dad pressed a kiss on the top of my head as we walked toward the front door, our arms still around each other. “Don’t give him a hard time. I could tell he never wanted to.”“I know, Dad. That’s why I ran here instead of elsewhere. I want to speak with him first.”“This cabin is beautiful.”“He built this house for me,” I said proudly as we stood at the front door. I met his eyes while a broad smile was plastered on my face.“Did he?”I nodded, still smiling. “He said this was supposed to be his gift for me for our union, but the accident happened. But he kept it well maintained. I love it.”“He’s full of surprises, isn’t he?”I nodded, my eyes beaming with happiness.“I’m glad even with everything happening around you, Zach can still make you smile beautifully.”“He’s the only thing that keeps me going,” I told him until I realized my words. “I mean,

    AMBER.“What’s another way out?”“You, with your wolf out,” Dad said, and the color drained from my face as I stared at him with my mouth open.“We checked the copy of Zach’s blood contract, and this part was not included in his but was on Grant’s or the Council’s copy. Zach also signed it, but maybe he didn’t notice this extra page. We assumed Grant also forgot this page.”“I don’t understand how Alpha Grant forgot this page.”“We could only assume he wanted to do this blood contract to power trip, and you were the first condition. Zach could not claim anyone except you, only if your wolf surfaced. Grant had always looked down upon females with no wolf. Same reason he never helped his own sister, Lexi’s mother, because she was wolfless. I was sure he thought of you as the way out to mock you and Zach. But eventually he remembered that he had a daughter whom he could put in a better place. So he scrapped you and changed it to her. But he forgot to change his contract to delete you. He

  • HEART OF A TRUE LUNA   70: The Luna of His Pack Pt1

    AMBER. I had no idea where to go. The cabin was the only place I could think of, but going there would take too much time, as I didn’t have a wolf, and I was already worn out from training. And with the pain in my chest, I didn’t think I could run any further. So I asked someone to drive me to the brook.I entered the cabin and stayed in the living room, sitting on the couch and watching as the fireplace began warming up the whole house. I had no idea how long I’d been there when I heard a car approaching, and I could only guess the warrior told Zach where I went, which was what I really wanted. I wanted to speak with him.I still had no idea what his plans were, but I wanted to believe he loved me and was choosing me. That was the reason he was giving up, the reason he wanted to step down as an Alpha and not push for it anymore. I didn’t know if I could live with him choosing me over his title. I never wanted to be the reason he stepped down as an Alpha, the same way I hated mysel

  • HEART OF A TRUE LUNA   69: Drowning Pt2

    ZACH. After my conversation with Dad, Arlo told me Amber had asked someone to drive her to the brook where my cabin was. And it calmed my heart.I was worried she had run off somewhere or tried to leave the territory, but going to the cabin meant she wanted refuge in our own world. I had no idea what she heard, but I hoped this was a sign she was giving me a chance to explain.They were still eating dinner when I told them I would see Amber first, and Uncle Caspian volunteered to drive me there. He said he wanted a word with his daughter. And I knew I could not refuse it. While driving, he asked me if it would be okay if he asked Amber what she heard. He promised he would try to explain the best way he could, so she wouldn’t be upset with me once she faced me. I was grateful for that, as I didn’t want to argue with Amber, either. I knew I was wrong to hide it from her, but I did it because I didn’t want her to think about it. Although it was revealed now, at least I had her father

    ZACH.By the time I was done telling them about our plans, Uncle Jake was smiling widely, and I was left confused. I was sure I didn’t say anything funny. Or did he think our plan was a big joke?My forehead creased the moment I stopped talking, and when I met his gaze, he flashed me a smug smirk. “You love her, don’t you?”I swallowed, and I felt my cheeks burning. Admitting to Amber that I love her was easier than saying it in a room full of older Alphas, including her father. “Your eyes twinkle, and your mouth twitches when you mention her name.” He added.“Like every sentence, you need to add her name to remind us it was her who gave you this idea. Or that she was with you.” Arlo added, and the smile on his face told me they were saying it in good faith, not to embarrass me. I dipped my head and gathered my hair, fixing the bun on my head. I didn’t know what to say, and I didn’t want to look at Uncle Caspian, as I knew I also owed him an apology. “Let’s not stress my boy here,”

    ZACH. “Alpha,” Arlo called me, and I turned around to face him. He hadn’t answered the phone yet, but he was looking at the caller ID. “It’s Alpha Grant on the line.”I was right. This was not the first time he called. He would call from time to time to check on me, but I knew he wanted to remind me of the contract. I felt all eyes on me as the phone kept ringing. “I will answer it and put it on speaker,” I told them, and I saw some of them nod their heads. “But I want everyone to keep their silence.”There was nothing to hide anymore, so I might as well let them all in. ‘Can you order all borders not to allow Amber to leave?’ I mindlinked with Arlo as I rolled back toward my table. “Silver Moon Pack, this is Alpha Zach,” I said after I answered the call and put it on speaker. “I know Jacob is in there, together with his minions.” He said that without even greeting me. “Are you fucking watching me?” Uncle Jake answered, and I wanted to roll my eyes. What happened to keeping t

    ZACH.“We can’t settle this if you keep shouting at each other.” Uncle Jake said at the exact moment a knock came and the door opened, revealing Arlo. I didn’t know if I would be grateful or annoyed at his disturbance, but all I knew was I didn’t want him in the office while Dad was pointing out all the wrong decisions I made—making me feel less of an Alpha than I already felt in the past two years. And then Mindy came and saw the pictures of Gray. She walked out and was followed by Arlo while the rest of us remained silent. I could already tell they were thinking the same thing as I was, but no one said anything about it, as if saying it out loud would make it a reality.But goddamn it, I wished I was wrong. I could only imagine what Mindy was feeling when she asked me if I was friends with Gray. The fuck, I was glad I wasn’t.Another Omega came to clean the spill and the shattered cup. Dad must have mindlinked someone, as I was frozen in my seat. After she left, Dad was calmer. H

    ZACH.The moment Drake told me that the border advised him that Dad had entered the territory with three more Alphas, including Uncle Jake, I already knew something was off.I wanted to reach out to Amber and ask if she had told her father about the contract, but I didn’t want her to think I was accusing her of something. So, I just prepared myself for a confrontation because I was sure this was not just an ordinary visit. Uncle Jake, Aeon, and Caspian entered the room first. Although I could see their tensed shoulders, they offered me welcoming smiles before settling into the different areas of my office. Dad was the last one to enter.He came in with a dark expression, holding folders in his hand. He closed the door, almost slamming it, before walking forward and tossing the folders on my desk. They slid and stopped exactly in front of me.“What’s the meaning of that?” He asked in almost a growly tone.It had been too long since he was furious with me, and I could already tell why
