The Alpha's Substitute Luna 50
Lucinda's POVI cried. I cried for Arthur. I cried for a man who didn't care about me, who didn't care that I would still be fine after he had left me. But in the comfort of it all, Shadow was there, my very own Alpha mate.When I cried he held me close. For the first time, I felt important. For the first time, I was important. I wasn't the second choice, nor was I the substitute option. I was the only true option."I am gonna kill him," Shadow growls, as he tries to stand up."Please don't go," I stop him."He hurt you, he humiliated you, he threw you out of Aquarius Waters, doesn't that deem him to be my enemy?" he inquires of."It does," I nod."Then it's final. We attack tonight," he states."You are gonna start a war Shadow." I try to reason with him. I am hurt, that much I can say, but should we hurt so many people because of Arthur?"A war that is worthy of its cause. Alpha Arthur disrespected the Luna of Firedunes Pitt, do you know that is a crime punishable by death?" I coul

Arthur's POV "I mean, it's not really a bad idea," I utter. "What?" I could hear the disarray in her voice. A part of me wanted to be angry at her for bringing this whole thing up, but Ares reminded me that she is trying. She has been trying. To know the pack, to learn things about the pack, and ultimately, to protect the pack. I am certain that this woman pressed at all ends, would die for her people. And although I am still conflicted about what's going on with her wolf, this also deserves someone who is trying to put in the effort and the least I could do was to meet her halfway. "I mean, he does have greater strength than other wolves his age, he needs to be monitored, and the person who knows this more than anyone is me, and I can then monitor him," she adds, and I nod my head. "This could work, this is promising." I try convincing myself."Really?" she went from, skeptical to excited that this plan might work."Yeah. I will tell the counsel this tomorrow and we will take it

Shadow's POvArthur's kid is sick? Well, isn't this great? Maybe I will get the honor of killing him too. I know I will be satisfied with that part. Even better, if Arthur were to be executed. "Next," they call out, and I stand up straight, ready to greet the counsel.When I get there though, it's a full house instead.Well, isn't this fun?"Alpha Shadow, how may we be of your assistance today?" one of the helpers ask. I think his name is Isaac."Good morning counsel, I would like approval to have a duel with Alpha Arthur," I utter."Why?" Lord Phoenix."He humiliated my mate, and treated her like waste, and like a real man, I would like to sort this out as real men would," I clarify.Although I had plans of ambushing Aquarius Waters and killing as many people as I could, with Arthur and Quinnzel on that list too, when I woke up and saw my mate with bags under her eyes, I realized as much I was angry, this fight was hers to win. This revenge was hers to smile over and I couldn't tak

Quinzel's POV "Do you think I could get more time with Echo before I leave, maybe I head home tonight instead?" I ask.I really wanted to spend time with Echo, and just bond with him, and maybe just ask him a little too many questions."Sure, I don't see why not." "Thank you,'"You know, you not entirely leaving Ezra. You are our people's Luna, and although you will be away, you can still call and visit, and I will also do the same. I still want to get to know you. My mate with platinum hair, how did this whole hair thing happen anyways?" he asks."I dyed and straighten it," I chuckle."It looks so real," he comments."Huh?""No, I mean, it looks like you were born with it and all.""I will take that as a compliment." I smile."As you should, I do think you are beautiful Quinnzel.""Are you okay?" I chuckle, as I place three fingers on his forehead."I am as clear as day," he rests his head on my shoulder, closing his eyes, but suddenly, he opens them again in haste I am startled. W

Quinzel's POVWhen we get home I am famished. Echo and Mom are waiting for us outside the house, and the moment the car stops, I rush out like a mad mother who has been away from her kid for years on.The moment I get to him, I kneel and I open my arms wide and he crashes into me, and I cover him like he was long lost."I am so sorry," I start uttering, planting kisses on his cheeks, and his forehead, and my eyes start welling up with tears. I promised him. I promised to be safe, but a few hours later I was jailed, with the very man I said I was gonna be safe with. I am sure he is mad at me. I know I am mad at myself."I am so sorry Echo. Mommy is so sorry," I keep uttering rubbing his back, and he, tightens his grip on me."you came back," I pull away and when I look at him, he is crying. I wipe his tears away, and he wipes my tears away."I promised, didn't I? I promised that I trusted your dad, and look, he came back with me. Do you forgive Mama?" he quickly nods his head, and hug

Arthur's POVThe moment Quin leaves with Echo, I go take a bath. My body feels drained because of the sulfide I had to drink. It usually wears off in a couple of days.The last time I was imprisoned was when Accalia was executed. Ares went crazy and took over my body. In honest truth, I let him take over and we made a mess in the counsel house. The elders were mad at me, and I was placed under house arrest and forced to drink sulfide so Ares won't be strong and keep hurting other people.When I got home, Nanna could see that I wasn't my normal self, but she didn't inquire about what she should do to make it better because, in a way, she knew that there is nothing she could have done.When I am done with my bath, I get dressed and inform Sabre that I will be visiting Queen Mother. "Sabre,""Alpha,""For the next month, you are the pack's Alpha and I would like you to act as such," I inform him."But Alpha," he tries to stop me "For Echo. We are doing this for Echo," I cut him off."

Arthur's POV"Accalia," I whisper, remembering the pain that I felt after I kissed Quin, is this related? "When I'm close to Quin, my heart starts hurting, what is that about?" I inquire of her. I don't want to go into the details of what happened, although she probably knows the whole thing.She is good like that too, knowing what she shouldn't."Since her wolf is connected to the moon goddess' wolf, it means it's connected to all the other wolves. Both dead and alive. So a piece of Accalia's wolf is in her, hence why you feel pain again." she elucidates. "What does that mean for me? How do I stop the pain? What do I have to do?" I sigh. This information just keeps piling up and I am not sure what to do with it."At first it's gonna hurt, but once you mate with Quin, the pain will diminish,""You do realize that Quinzel holds tradition and will not mate with me until we both say I do at an altar?" I cut her short, "Did moon goddess maybe miss that tiny detail?" I question sarcastic

Quinnzel's POVAfter my walk with Echo, it's safe to say we may or may have not had a crying session. I know that I was with the kid for only two days, but a lot took place in this short period, and well, my emotions got the best of me.In truth, I am rethinking my whole life outside Ezra. If I were to leave that world and commit to just being an Ezrian citizen, how will that work out? I mean, how will I go about doing it?So without knowing any better, I ask Echo."Hey Echo, if I wanted to be a citizen of Ezra, what do I do?""You mate with Dad." I choke on nothing but air, and I cover my mouth, trying to pretend that nothing happened, because knowing Echo, he will probably ask what's going on.There was no need for this kid to be blunt."Right, okay, let's go home buddy." I take his hand, and we stand up and go home. When we home, mom is cleaning the house and I readily help her clean. One thing I have noted though is that Echo is fine. I am not sure what his daily normal is, or wh

It It Arthur's POV When I get to the door, I stop. What if Winter felt wrong? I know that twins have a connection bigger than mate bonds as they are one. So if one is anxious, the other would feel it as if they are there, if the one is hurt, the other would hurt in the same spot. But what if? Just, what if he felt wrong? "I will take over your body and enter this room if you don't," Ares warns me. I open the door and there she is, standing right there, touching her hair. My heart stops for a second. "Are you real?" I whisper, dropping my phone. Quinnzel pauses, and her heart picks up pace. The moment, it does, I rush and crash into her, hugging her a little too tightly. I take in her scent, it's still as intoxicating and strong. I grin, feeling a sense of completion with her around. "I am real," she coughs. "You squeezing too hard," she adds, and I loosen the grip."Sorry," I mutter, still hugging her. We just stand there, holding on to each other like the world is ending. I a

Quin's POV"Quin," I hear a voice calling me in the darkness and I stop. The voice is monotone, and I can't tell whether it's a man or a woman. I look around with my glowing eyes, but I see nobody. I look at Acai, who also shakes her head. But what I know and am certain of, somebody did call me, and it gave me chills. But I shrug my shoulders, and pretend we didn't hear anything and we continue walking. I am not sure how long I've been out here, and how much longer this has to go on.All I know is that I haven't been hungry or had the urge to use the toilet nor have I felt a tiny ping of wanting to sleep. This is discouraging because it feels like I've only walked for a day or two max and this might take more than that. "Quin," the voice calls out again. I stop yet again and look around to no avail, starting to get freaked out. I try to take a step to see if the voice calls out my name again, and this time I am not surprised, but freaked out. "Quinnzel O' Conner!" the voice beams,

Winter's POVIn approximately ten minutes, we meet Luca. From a distance, her medication spread is already ready to be utilized. Luca has an SUV, and her boot space is enough to assist Marie. We stop the car when we meet hers, and before Dawn gets out of the car, Luca gives Marie the first injection through the window so she she able to breathe. We then open the door, Dawn rushes to place Marie in the boot. Luca then injects Marie with a UV fluid on both arms, switches on a portal fan, and places the fan over her head."What's she doing with her?" she looks at me, anxiously."She's trying to get her energy back. Have you never seen her being treated?" I cue. "No, the doctors back in the city don't allow that," she clarifies. "Well, I always want to know what's happening. But don't worry, our daughter is going to be okay," I try to console her, whilst Luca opens her onesie and puts allergy pads on her chest."What are those?" she continues."Allergy pads. It's to level her breathing

Lucinda's POVAfter packing, I head down, and Shadow is on a phone call with someone, well, more like he is yelling at someone over the phone. "Don't tell me that Lucien! I specifically told you that the investors were coming in today, therefore the Maimi deal should be finalized by then," I could feel his anger radiating through the whole room, and I know that he feels my presence so he tried to finalize the call in a much calmer tone. "Can you please get this done before I get to the office? I will stall the guys. Is that possible?" he asks the other person whose name I believe is Lucien. He nods his head then and he ends the call."I can hear your heartbeat you know," he utters and I come into view. "Hey," I sheepishly laugh, waving."You ready to leave?" he inquires."Sure," I come down with my suitcase and he takes it and carries it for me."Sorry about that," he starts as we head towards the car."Sorry about?""The yelling. I was frustrated at Lucien. There is some work I as

Lucinda's POVAfter Queen Mother leaves, I feel lighter. Like I have someone I can trust. There is something about her that makes me want to tell her how I am feeling, and how much whatever I went through hurt me and she doesn't come with a judging heart or a mocking face, but she brings warmth, and for me, that is something I've always craved for, a friend. I hope she is one. I focus on what she asked me for. The wishlist. I sit on the couch and I start thinking hard and wide. What's the one thing that I've always desired? My list would be long if I would start from when I was a kid. But before I can jotter down anything, I call Meriya to help me get a pen and a paper. She comes back with it and I sit on the island to start my list. It doesn't have to be realistic, I tell myself, but it has to be what I've always wanted to do. Queen Mother said she would be a genie for one day, and maybe she could help me achieve these dreams.She doesn't have to help with everything, I mean, I th

Eliza's POVThe past two days were well spent. Lucinda is an interesting child indeed. Besides her life story that she thinks defines her, her character, her personality, her smile, and everything good reminds me of Rue. How she could have grown, how she would have smiled, what type of wolf she would carry, the strength she would possess, and with all that, how I would want to protect her. How I would want to see her happy. How I would want her to have all the love that she proceeds her.And when I look at Lucinda, I want all of this for her. The love, the happiness and the joy, as the Luna of this pack, and as my son's fiancee. I want her to have the best mother-in-law. I can be her in-law by the rules and regulations of this world, but I know that by now, our relationship as a family will be anything but quiet, random, and normal. It's gonna have flare, sparkles, and tiny big promises and everything she has ever wished for as a child, and what she desired as she grew up. "Roughly

Nanawe's POV"So, this is what is gonna happen gentlemen and esteemed ladies, I am going to go home and ask Miss Dawn, the future Luna of Windazare if she would fancy staying in Erza for a month, and if she says yes, consider yourselves lucky, and if not, well, good luck trying to convince her to stay. I mean, she already doesn't see eye to eye with the counsel since some people, I won't mention names, are so keen on having her killed." I clear my throat. "Nanawe!" Claudius calls out."Yes love?" I smile at him, tilting my head. No matter how angry this man is with me, I am still head over hills for him, I still act like a child. "Are you trying to rebel against the counsel?" he raises a question."Oh goodness no. I would never do that. This couple just reminds me of someone I didn't save before. I guess you could say I am trying to make amends for it," I look at Arthur, trying to not get emotional."Is this based on your emotions?" Phoenix replies and I can feel his aura being enra

Dawn's POVAfter getting ready as Queen Mother has instructed, I feel the need to visit Quin. Baby Marie will be staying with Nanna Ave, and Sabre will be keeping an eye on Quin and Echo. The rest of the house will be going. So when I am done, I quickly head to where Quin is sleeping. When I get there, Sabre is standing guard and he freely lets me in. I enter the room and Quin is just lying there. Her eyes are closed and for the first time, I want her to talk. Even if she will go on about neurosurgery or whatever she does, I just want her to open her mouth. I feel my breathing getting choked up, but still, I will myself to get closer to her. When I am within arm's length, I take her hand into mine, and I sit down, tears rolling down my eyes. "Hey Quin," I smile. "How are you, girl?" I wipe my tears. "So about the mate thing that you spoke about, well, you were right, I have one too," I chuckle. "Crazy right?""You know Winter? Yeah, his my mate, and he is the same Winter whom I've
The Alpha's Substitute Luna 83
Winters POVShe came for me. Yes, I know she was probably asked by my mom to check up on me, but the fact that she agreed to do it meant a lot to me. I am not sure how to respond to what my mom did to me, and in a way, I am trying to put myself in her shoes, but I am failing to comprehend how she did what she did and still lived without regret in her heart. For her to separate us to keep us safe is one thing, but choosing to let us stay separated is a choice she could have undone. I could have met my sister in the city if she wasn't sure how she would turn out, and we would have had a bond. I would protect her with my life and maybe then, I would have found my mate sooner. But no, she did what she did, and I don't know how to look at her without anger and disappointment in my heart. "Dawn, if your mom did what my mom did, what would you do?" I ask her. "I would slap her," she utters, seemingly contemplating her response."What?" I wasn't expecting that."That would be my first tho
