HEART OF A TRUE LUNA 20 - His Mate Pt2
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.“If Sidney appears with a mark on her neck tomorrow, you’ll go home.” Cassidy began, and it made me swallow harder. “No more buts. If you want a place to have a vacation while on university break, I can take you home with me.”“You can stay here with us, too.” Amara offered. “See, you have a lot of options.” Cassidy continued. “To continue, let’s say she doesn’t have a mark on her neck by tomorrow—call Mom. We need more info from her. You need to do this thing that I will suggest so Zach can stop with his lies.”I nodded my head, and she began with her suggestions. My eyes widened as I listened, but everything she said made sense. I just needed the guts to do that, but first, I needed confirmation from Aunt Celeste. I nodded my head again, agreeing with everything. I was about to say something when Cassidy spoke again. “Okay, girls, I have to go. I already see Kairo.”“Kairo?” We all asked at the same time.“Yes, that sexy Alpha of Dark Wood Pack.” Cassidy winked at us.“Whe

AMBER.Of all the people to bump into as I was moving out of my room, why did it have to be them? Sidney pushed his chair and stepped out of the elevator. My gaze eventually met hers, and she flashed me a small smile, which was too different from what she had given me earlier. Did Zach tell her about our past? Or did he stop her from being friendly with me?“Are you leaving? Who’s driving you home?” Zach’s voice drew my attention back to him. He looked at me with a face devoid of emotion, hands clasped together while his elbow rested on the armrest. He looked calm—totally not affected by me anymore. Of course, having Sidney beside him calmed him down. Why would the girls think Zach was faking their mate bond? And why on earth am I still here?I wanted to tell him I was leaving because that was what any decent female would do, but the words that came out were different from my thoughts.“No, not leaving.” I smiled despite the pain in my heart as I shook my head. I raised my coiled f
Last Updated : 2025-02-08HEART OF A TRUE LUNA 25 - Sidney
AMBER.I should move on. I should call Cyrus to pick me up.I had no idea how long I was seated on the floor until I finally decided to call my brother. I crawled to where my handbag was and pulled out my phone. But just when I was about to press his number, I remembered Cassidy’s words.“If Sidney appears with a mark on her neck tomorrow, you’ll go home. But if she’s not marked—call Mom.”I closed my eyes and contemplated what I should do next. My rational mind told me to call my brother. But, like always, I let my heart rule over me. The phone rang on the other side, and it didn’t take long before someone answered the phone. “Moon Stone Pack, this is Alpha Darvin.”“Uncle, good evening,” I answered timidly.“Who’s this?” He asked, and I couldn’t blame him. I rarely called his office, as I would usually contact Cassidy directly, and he might not be familiar with my number. “This is Amber, Uncle. Can I speak with Aunt Celeste?”“Yes, of course. She’s here. Is everything alright, swee

ZACH.“Then fuck them! Keep pushing her away. You’ll wake up one day, and she’ll be married to Drake, and you’ll get to see that every day of your life.” Sidney said, and it made me swallow hard. She was right. But it only meant I needed Amber away from here before Drake could make his move, and she fell for it. “I’m right. You want her.” She added.I remained in silence. She entered the room, her hand holding onto the wall. “But hey, you promised I’d get my money no matter the outcome, right? My mother needs that for her operation…” She let out a sigh before she continued. “I promise, no matter what I say to you in private, I will never divulge anything or sabotage you. I’ll do exactly what you want.”“Even if you sabotage me, I will still pay for her operation,” I told her, taking my gaze off her and continuing to massage my leg. I asked her why she needed the money, and she told me her mother was sick and needed a bypass operation. She’d been working part-time on Xander’s farm

ZACH.“Give me the phone!” My voice was louder this time, and I was about to growl again when Amber’s scent hit me, and I heard small footsteps approaching.My chest heaved as I tried to breathe in more, wanting to smell if I could scent Edmond. Because if I did, heaven forbid, I had no idea what would happen next.“What’s going on?” Amber asked as she stopped in the entryway before her eyes turned to me while Mindy continued walking and sat back in her seat. “Why are you shouting so early in the morning?” Amber asked me.“Where have you been?” Ara asked her before a soft chuckle escaped her throat. I tore my eyes off her. She looked so fucking beautiful in her jeans shorts and off-shoulder blouse. She looked like she just got out of the shower. “In my room.” She then smiled apologetically before she sat on the chair beside Drake. “I’m sorry I’m late. I enjoyed my bubble bath. I forgot the time.”Nikka sat back in her chair as well, and I didn’t even hear what happened to her conver

HEART OF A TRUE LUNA 73: Most Beautiful Pt2
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
HEART OF A TRUE LUNA 72: Most Beautiful Pt1
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,
HEART OF A TRUE LUNA 71: The Luna of His Pack Pt2
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
HEART OF A TRUE LUNA 68: Drowning Pt1
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,”
HEART OF A TRUE LUNA 67: Alpha Grant Pt3
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
HEART OF A TRUE LUNA 65: Alpha Grant Pt1
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
