The Alpha's Substitute Luna 68
Arthur's POVOur ride to Ezra is filled with tiny sobs from both Dawn and Echo and halfway through the ride, I feel a shift. Like a weird shift. I feel Ares disconnect from me for a moment, and then I feel empty. But it wasn't a bad disconnect. It was comforting, but at the same time, it was like something was changing from within. I am not sure what and where that change was happening, or why it was happening, but after a minute, I feel calm, like nothing had happened."Ares," I call him out."Yeah," I notice his voice is now stable and wasn't as weak as before."Did you feel that? The calming wave?" I question him."I did," he states."Do you think it has anything to do with Acai?""I am not sure, but I don't feel like I am fading anymore. Like, the pain isn't bad as it was, but it's like I am in the middle of death," he explains. "More precisely, Acai isn't dead anymore, just floating in darkness, but safe,""How?" Does that mean she met the goddess and she bought her back to life

Arthur's POVWhen we get home, the gloomy side of Dawn is back. She is no longer hyped about the scenery. It's like the realization hits that her friend is half dead. She looks at Quin, and tears just voluntarily come out and she holds on to her like it's the only thing she knows. I notice that Echo wiped away the blood that was coming out of her ears and her hands weren't that cold anymore."Thank you, son," he nods and we take her inside. Nanna Ave is waiting by the door and the moment she sees her, she goes into shock mode. "Oh my gosh, no...it can't be no," she tries to grab Quin but shock overpowers her, her knees fail her but Sabre catches her before she touches the ground. We get inside, with Dawn still holding onto Quin's hand, and we take her to my bedroom. When we get there, Queen Mother is already waiting for us. I place her gently on the cover and I look at her for further instructions, but she chases us all out of the room."Why?" I ask her."The room needs to be quiet

Lucinda's POV"Excu..se me?" I stop. Marriage?? I don't recall talking to Shadow about any of that. Is he just going to do things without my permission?What did I expect? He is my mate, yes, but Alphas do what they want. Arthur is a good example of that. When they are done with you, after having used you, broken you, they toss you aside."Do you know when Alpha Shadow decided on this?" I ask, starting to walk again, but my pace went from excited, to just flat-out disappointed. "Yesterday evening. After you fell asleep. He went to the pack house to talk to Magnum. I was coming from visiting my mom and I kinda overheard them talking and,""What exactly did Shadow say?" I grab her arm and stop. She is startled and I immediately let go of her."I am sorry. What did he say?" I repeat."Well he,-he" "Meriya..." Shadow calls her out and she stops. We both turn and look at him."I see you doing your best and keeping it quiet." I can tell his remark is a bit stark."I, well..." she starts f

Dawns POVWhen Quin changed, there was something about what she was saying she was convinced of. I mean, yes I don't easily believe what I hear, but after getting to this place, something was convincing about what she was saying. Not the whole thing, but maybe a touch that she wasn't lying. I don't think she would make up a whole new people. For one, she is here and not in the hospital. That alone means that this place may have some healing energy to heal her. Quin looked dead, and all they doing here is having her under blankets with no UV fluids or drips, that alone says a lot. And well, there is also a thing about her being the Luna. Arthur's mom and Arthur are convinced that Quin is one of them and she is the queen. I don't know how they came to that conclusion, but props to them for getting a city doctor, one of the best might I add.If she is queen, what happens to her job in the city? What happens to us? Does she come and stay here forever and never come back and I get to rai

Dawn's POV"Arthur, we need to talk," Queen Mother calls out to her son."Yes," he comes into view. "We need to look for Dawn's mate," she states and Arthur looks at me, then back to his mom."Didn't you know her mate though?" Arthur asks."Right?" I roll my eyes. I am glad I am not the only one with that assumption. "What gave you the impression that I knew her mate?" she looks at both of us respectively."Didn't you go on about the speech about moon goddess whoever that is, and her telling you about my mate and all? Shouldn't she at least have given you a hint about who that is?" I ask."Exactly what I would think," Arthur agrees."Well, for your information, she didn't and now we have to travel to all three packs looking for her dear love, well two packs," she states matter of fact. "You can gather your people in a minute Arthur,""Like as in now?" same question Arthur, I asked her the same question. At this point, I and Arthur have the same brain cells. "Yes, of course now. The

Dawn's POV"Did you tell her that if she rejects her mate he dies?" I hear Arthur whisper."Arthur look at her, she is barely holding on by an inch. I can't be putting that on her conscious," Queen Mother tries to stand for me."And what about the werewolf that dies?" "That will be her choice to make. You can't force love Arthur. You know that better than anyone," she leaves. What did she mean when she said that? Was Arthur once rejected? Did he die and then reawaken again, or did he suffer heartbreak?"I know you are awake you know," he interrupts me and I open my eyes."How did you know?" I mumble, seating up."Your heartbeat sold you out," he takes a seat next to me."How are you feeling?" he asks."Better. How long was I out?" my head is still hurting, but it's better than before. "For about 30 minutes." he hands me some water and I gladly take a sip before I hand it back to him."Is it true?" I whisper, knowing that he knows what I am talking about."Yes,""Did you do it on pu

Lucinda's POVAfter the whole let's propose thingie near the volcano, I thought why not? Although I must add and say, I am still a bit skeptical. But what's life without a little adventure right? We had to go down and Shadow had to handle some duties, and I went back home to start cooking. I know that we have a cook, but I don't want to just do nothing. I probably won't have any time after I start my Luna duties.I wonder who is going to teach me what to do. It's not like I had that training in Aquarius Waters. It's usually the previous Queen Lunas that teach the coming Lunas but Queen Mother Nanawe never really left the forest after Accalia's death, so I know she wasn't so welcoming of me. And I haven't seen Firedunes Queen Mother, and Shadow hasn't uttered a word about her."Don't you think we should have been introduced to Queen Mother when we got here?" Momentus asks."Yes, but people have different customs and I never heard of her. Maybe we should wait for Shadow to come back a

Lucinda's POV"Wow, you have said a lot," Eliza comments. I am not sure how to respond to that, so I just nod."So, how did my son convince you to be his fiancee?" she adds smiling."Is that the only thing you caught in my whole venting?" I chuckle, relaxing."No, it was the easiest to start with. I won't say I understand your need to kill, but I understand your emotion of betrayal, the discomfort that you are in, and how misused you feel. I get that. You gave your all to this man, and well, he hurt you, and to what extent, you alone know the whole truth about that. You know the deep cut it made and the emotional hit you had to endure, with the pack, with Arthur, even with your wolf. And how you view things, for now, makes sense, and as you slowly let Shadow love you, you will understand how much worth you have to those who deserve you." When she says, it's like a balm to my pain, anger, and hurt. My feelings suddenly feel valid and important, and for the first time, they feel raw and

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
The Alpha's Substitute Luna 84
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
