HEART OF A TRUE LUNA 28 - Uninvited Pt1
ZACH.The hours moved slowly. I hadn’t seen Amber and Sidney for the rest of the day. I had no idea where Amber was, but Sidney was here in the packhouse because, aside from the first day, I didn’t allow her to go out.Drake told me the warriors were asking about her. It was nothing unusual because she was someone they hadn’t seen before. But I didn’t want to tell anyone she was my mate, so I told Drake he could tell them she was a family friend visiting us. I was sure the rest of the Omegas in the house, as well as Arlo and Mindy, would never try to defy me. My only problems were my sisters and Amber. These females could not be told, especially if they were upset, and with me not knowing what they were up to, I knew sooner or later I would have to face more inquiries about Sidney. I had to devise a plan if my mother heard of it. I was sure I could ignore Dad but not Mom. Maybe I should tell the border patrol not to allow entrance to my parents. Honestly, I had no idea what the n

ZACH.What the fuck is Nadine doing here?My heart thundered as I rolled my chair, heading for the main hallway while I mindlinked Arlo. ‘Where is Sidney?’I was aware Sidney had met Nadine, and if they recognized each other, there would be more questions. ‘I don’t know, Alpha. She’s probably at home.’ Arlo answered. ‘Where are you?’‘Training building. Is there something wrong?’ ‘And Mindy? Where is she? Can you mindlink her to find Sidney? She needs to tell her not to go out of her room.’ ‘Mindy is here with me.’ Arlo replied. Fuck! I internally growled and mind-linked with an Omega, ordering her to find Sidney while I ignored Arlo when he asked more questions as to what was wrong. I met the Omega I mindlinked along the corridor. She bobbed her head in respect before hurrying up the stairs while I continued to the front door. I was right—Nadine was there, and with her was a man I could only assume was Xander. They were talking to one of our Omegas, who Nadine had been close wi

ZACH.I was about to roll my chair when I heard running steps from the outside, and I smelled my sister.Shit!“Let’s go!” I cocked my head in the direction of my office, hoping they would fucking move faster. “Nadine!” Nikka shrieked, and I grimaced. She acted as if they hadn’t seen each other in a year when they had just come from her territory a few days back.“Hello there, sweet pea!” Nadine swiftly moved to approach and hug her. “Enough of that. We have a business to deal with. Let’s go.”“Business, ew.” Nikka scrunched her nose and let her go. I thought I was off the hook until her eyes landed on Sidney. “Oh, so you met Zach’s mate.”“Excuse me?” Nadine stopped in her tracks a few feet away from Xander. “Zach’s mate?”Nikka wriggled her eyebrows before pointing her finger at Sidney. She had a wide smile on her lips, so I had no idea if the smile was because she liked Sidney or if she knew something else. “Yes, Sidney.” Nadine’s head turned to look at Sidney while Xander looked

AMBER.I felt like I was just floating, waiting for the waves to take me where they wanted me to go. My mind told me to leave this place, but my heart kept betraying me. I had been staring at my packed luggage for many hours, but I couldn’t seem to have the strength to pick up the phone and call Cyrus.Zach had been rude to me from day one, and it had only been a few days, but he was already shaking what was left of my determination. The only thing I was holding on to was that Sidney was still unmarked. I wanted to ask the twins if they had asked why she wasn’t marked yet, but I didn’t want to pressure them as well. I knew it was already hard for them to balance their friendship with me and accept Sidney as their brother’s mate. Making them choose between us was never my goal. So, yes, I should leave. Any decent female would. I am not wanted here.But I promised Cassidy I would do what she suggested that I do before leaving everything behind. But I was still not one hundred percent

ZACH.I listened to Nadine’s litany, and although everything she said made sense, I did not bend.I told her that instead of taking Sidney away, she should talk to Amber instead and convince her to leave my territory. If she could do that, I would send Sidney home and admit to my sisters, as well as Arlo and Drake, about the fake mate bond.I didn’t want Sidney out of here while I could still see Amber.In the end, Nadine had no choice but to agree. She would do her best to convince her to leave and move on. I didn’t ask her to talk about the last part, but she must have felt it was the right thing to do.And yes, it hurt. It fucking hurt. But it was for the best.“Stay for dinner. I’m sure the food is ready.” I told them when we finally came to an agreement. She also said she would not say anything to my mother and I promised I would do it myself.Of course, I will, but only if one of my sisters tells her about it.“We might stay overnight then. Because I need time to talk to Amber,”

ZACH. “I’m not going to kill her!” I snapped at Arlo. “Please…” Amber mumbled, and my head turned in her direction. “Let Beta Arlo stay.”She looked scared, and I didn’t like it. She was terrified of me. I let out a sigh before rolling my chair in front of my desk. I wanted to be able to see both of them.“Talk…” I began. “I’m sorry. I just wanted to know if you were mates or not. I still didn’t want to believe you found your mate.” Her lips quivered, and my heart crushed again at the pain in her face as her body continued to shake from her sobs. “Up to the last minute, I was holding on to the belief that you were lying. That she was not your mate. I still couldn’t accept that you just forgot about me when I still think about you every day.”My hands coiled into tight fists as I struggled for my eyes not to water. “I’m sorry, Zach. I kissed Sidney to see if you felt the pain. I could have kissed you, but I knew if I did, I would cry more because I would miss you afterward. I also

ARLO.“Zach…” Amber spoke in a low voice. “Can I see your wrist?”“No.” He answered coldly.“Do you need help rolling your sleeves?” She kept asking in a soft voice, ignoring the animosity in his tone. I just looked at the Alpha. Ever since Amber arrived here a few days ago, he had been wearing long-sleeve shirts and had never taken them off whenever he was in the quadrangle, even when the sun was scorching hot. “I don’t…”“Please… Just one last request.” Amber spoke again. Zach dropped his gaze and began rolling his sleeves on his right arm. There was no mark. “Nothing there. It must be on the other hand.” I said. But I was sure both my wrists showed the marks when it happened to me. “It must have been gone already,” Amber said, and I knew she was trying to keep a straight face. “It was just a split-second thing.”Mine was also a split-second pain, but the marks remained there for a long time. “The other arm, Alpha,” I said. I expected Zach to glare or mindlink me and throw all

ZACH.I was not able to finish my words because Cyrus was already approaching, and the next thing I knew, hard knuckles hit my jaw. My chair rolled backward, and it slammed on the sofa, almost making me fall from it. “Alpha!” Arlo was about to come to me, but I pointed a finger at him, ordering him without words to stay where he was. “Are you fucking done?” I asked as I rubbed my chin. That fucking hurt. “I would have given you more if you weren’t stuck in this chair!” Cyrus bellowed as his foot kicked the wheels of my seat. He trapped me between him and the sofa, causing my body to jolt with each kick.Arlo restrained and pulled him away from me as my chest rumbled with growls. I gripped my armchair tightly, jaw tightening as my eyes dilated. “How much more pain will you put her through?” He shouted. “Until she stops with this madness!”“You brought her into this madness!” He pointed at me. “She brought herself into this mess,” I scoffed. “But I shouldn’t be surprised.

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
HEART OF A TRUE LUNA 66: Alpha Grant Pt2
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
