"NO!" I screamed. The silver burned as I pulled against my chains. Laughter erupted from the couple standing in front of me. "As if you have a choice!" The woman screeched through her laughter. "Your precious twins will be born tomorrow, they will be mine! Don't worry, Luna, I won't let them suffer for too long." Her wicked smile churned my stomach. How could someone so good hide so much evil? "Why?" I squeaked out.An evil smile spread across her lips. "Do you really not understand?" she asked, her eyes flashing with malice. "The blood of the true Luna's child will give me the power to use the medallion. Once I drink their blood, it will merge with mine, giving me the power I need to become the most powerful of all wolves. I will destroy all who have doubted me. My army will stretch across the lands, destroying all who stand against me." "You mean we will rule? Right?" The man standing next to her suddenly realized she did not mention him in her plans."What? Yes, of course I mean
The next day, I found myself in the Luna’s office. It was strange to think of this as my office now. Dex stood at the door, and Nikko sat across from me. I had been going over paperwork for a few hours. I decided to head into the village and grab a bite at my favorite place. I stretched before standing up. “I’m going down to the diner,” I announced. My guards agreed. We made our way through the pack house and out the door.It was a strange feeling to have everyone greet me as Luna Rina when we passed by. I smiled and greeted them. The babies had become very active inside me lately. It felt like they were excited about my decision as well. After a short walk, I stepped into the familiar place. It wasn’t hectic today, and it was nice. I slid into a booth, and the waitress came over and asked if I wanted my usual. I said yes and couldn’t wait for my shake and fries. A few minutes later, I was putting salt and ketchup on the big pile of fries in front of me. I put one in my mouth and near
The words in front of me told of the Guardians; they were wolves who had been selected before birth by the Moon Goddess to protect a True Luna. They were the most elite of all warriors and loyal only to the True Luna and those she deemed worthy.“He’s telling the truth,” I whispered.All eyes turned to look at me.“How can you be sure?” Arion and Arrow asked together.“It says so right here,” I explained, holding up the book.“Babe, they are just blank pages,” Arion said.“What? I can see all the words,” I explained.A chuckle interrupted us. “They can’t see the words, Luna; only you can,” Nikko explained.“Why does this have to be so difficult?” I asked, sighing heavily. “If I could show them, they could understand how I know.”“You can show them,” he explained. “Each of you touch your mark on her neck,” Nikko said, standing up. The twins did as he said. “Now, Luna, you look at the words,” he told me. I started looking at the page and reading a little.“Whoa,” Arrow exclaimed. “That
The crowd surrounding us was silent. I felt warm arms wrap around me. I knew it was my mates. I couldn’t help but stare at the medallion in my hands.“Baby, are you ok?” two worried voices asked.“What? Oh, yes, I’m ok.” I answered. I looked up into the faces of my mates.The crowd was watching us, their faces showed the confusion I was feeling.“Hail, Luna Rina,” a voice I did not recognize yelled from behind everyone.I looked to see who it belonged to. Dex was in front of me, his body poised to attack. My mates were the same. The pack turned to see the person who had spoken. They looked ready to strike, if necessary.“I mean no harm to any of you,” the voice said. I tried to see the silhouette's face. My name is Nikko Fallen. Perhaps you have heard of me?” he asked, stepping into the light. The crowd gasped. “I have been sent here on behalf of the guardians.” He continued walking forward before stopping in the middle of the aisle. “I am here for the true Luna.”My mates let out a
I looked around me at the smiling wolves all cheering loudly. I felt my cheeks heat up as I smiled brightly. Their energy was infectious. I felt their emotions crash down on me. I concentrated on sending out the same adoration they held for me. My mates smiled proudly. They looked incredibly handsome in their matching tuxedos. My dad gently squeezed my arm letting me know it was time to go meet them. We began walking towards them. I could barely contain my happiness.After what felt like the longest walk of my life, we stood in front of my Mates and the current Alpha. “Welcome everyone, today is an exciting day for our pack, today my sons will become your alphas!” Another round of cheers broke out through the crowd. “They have found their mate, please welcome Rina,” he said turning his attention to me. The wolves surrounding us were still cheering.Alpha Jax held up his hands to silence the crowd. “In our traditions, I will now join our two families as one. He held up a beautiful go
The day of the announcement had arrived. I lay in bed, my mates wrapped around me. I tried to imagine what it will be like once we were not only announced but the pack is turned over to us. Being the true Luna felt like added pressure. What would everyone think? What kind of power would the medallion give to all of us?“Stop worrying yourself.” I looked into Arrow's eyes. No matter what happens, we love you, and nothing will ever change that.” He leaned up, kissing my nose. I loved the way he sounded when he first woke up, his voice crackly with sleep. “You’ve got this, my love,” he smiled.“Babe, you are going to be the greatest Luna ever!” Arion smiled looking up at me.That evening…Alphas and Lunas had been arriving all afternoon, the twins becoming the alphas was a huge ordeal. Twin alphas hadn’t been seen in at least a hundred years. Nobody had announced that I was a true Luna, we had decided to keep that information only in our pack. I could hear the music downstairs as I sat w
