The Alpha's Substitute Luna It's Not Mine
"Catherine is pregnant."I wasn't sure I heard it well. I couldn't have. Pregnant? As in a baby in her belly kind of pregnant?I closed my eyes, willing for everything to go away. Eric, Catherine, every single thing. But when I opened my eyes he was still there, looking at me like I was the most pathetic thing in the world."That's a lie," I managed to say, surprising even myself. It was weird how even though I knew it had every right to be true, I wanted to defend my heart and believe the opposite."It is not a lie. The shock from you snatching her mate had actually brought her down, and she is recovering now. She didn't lose the baby however. You know who she would be pregnant for, don't you?""Eric!"I couldn't bring myself to look at Eric or the voice that had thundered his name from inside the house. The view of the floor beneath was dizzying and I felt like falling right through it. My eyes clouded with tears as I slightly opened my lips, then let my hand go into my hair to grab

I watched him, my eyes bulging with surprise. I felt my anger start to wear off, and I swallowed."What do you mean it's not yours?"He raised his hand and passed it through his hair. "You know...when I found out she was pregnant, I...I was even more confused as to why she left me. I was even more hurt that she wanted to keep a child away from me, but then..." His voice trailed off as if he hated what he was about to say. He closed his eyes and shook his head, then opened them again."Austin...""I need that run now. You don't have to come with me.""Austin..."He said nothing and heaved another sigh, but he seemed to back out of leaving. He turned and started to make his way to the room.I thought to myself about everything. What if I should have done something else? What if I should have waited for him?I turned quickly and ran after him, then wrapped my arms around his, intertwining my fingers on his stomach, so I was pressing his back to me."What are you doing?" He asked me, but

I nodded slowly, letting it sink in. I remind him of his mum? I couldn't think of how I should react. Is that good or...He leaned away then served us both and leisurely gave me a plate. Before I could say anything, he went to his room. I heard the clicking of the door as he locked himself behind it. I sighed and got off the kitchen work table and made my way to the room too.The night passed by slowly, and the only sound that came from Austin's room was of his phone. It rang incessantly sometime during the night, and I knew he was definitely ignoring it because he wasn't such a deep sleeper.The ringing became more persistent an hour later, and I decided to go to him. Turned out the door wasn't locked and it came open under my hand. I walked in slowly and went straight to the light from his phone. I picked it up, then turned it off. I kept it back and started to make my way back."What are you doing?" He suddenly asked, but I couldn't see his face through the darkness in the room."

I sighed and leaned away from him. "I guess you need someone."He said nothing to it and I gradually lost appetite. "What introduction do we have to do?" I asked, hoping to get an answer from him this time around."Yours." He answered frustrating me even more.I swallowed and stood up, feeling my frustration hit peak. "What's your problem?"He looked up to me. "What do you mean?""Why are you doing this to me? Why are you confusing me?""Confusing you?"I sighed, pushing my tongue into my cheek. "Last night, you were all about how we weren't in the same room, sharing a bed. This morning you are all cold and business like, treating me like the substitute, all over again. Until when will I be in Catherine's shadow? Until when will I have to guess what you feel for me?"I saw him blink slowly, before setting down his cup. "I too, am guessing. Sometimes I want to hold you, sometimes I don't. To me, that's not really a commitment I want to give to anyone."He stood up, pushing his hand in

I felt Austin's fingers lace into my hair as he pushed me further into his chest. Why is he protecting me when he is the one who will get even more hurt?I swallowed, and tried to move away. "No. Let me keep my dignity in front of you at least."I felt my lip quiver. He knew. The pregnancy...I parted my lips to breathe. "You knew?""Austin. What are you doing here?" It was Eric. I could almost picture his face, the surprise, the knowledge of being the traitor. It was not something I expected from Eric. Not Eric."Do I need permission from you to come into my own house?""Austin.." Catherine said. I heard her feet shuffling as she moved closer. "I thought you left."She is shameless. She really has to have lost her sense of shame along with her dignity or respect for the bond between mates. Is this why...I pushed against Austin slowly and turned to her, my anger tears still in my eyes."You dumped Austin for Eric.""Shut up. You know nothing."I laughed. "Are you pregnant for him? D
Last Updated : 2022-08-17The Alpha's Substitute Luna I Really Wanted To be Kissed
I slowly put dinner together, while keeping an eye on Austin's door. It was still closed and I hadn't heard him move, not even once. I finally turned my back on it, convinced he would wake when he wanted to, and focused on cooking instead. We both skipped lunch, but I knew he wasn't in the mood to eat then.Neither was I. The whole thing about Eric and Catherine bothered me. How was she so flippant with the mate bond? It is, afterall, the strongest bond known to mates and werewolves. How could she have rejected him, cheated on him and gotten pregnant for someone else all while knowing he was her mate? It didn't make too much sense to me.Or maybe I just couldn't relate to whatever she had felt because I wouldn't be able to do it to Austin. With the way I felt for him, I could as well be his mate.I kept the ladle I had been working on, my breath hitching at the thought. My mate died and...he rejected his mate, Catherine. Does that not mean we are both free wolves now? Does that not me

I watched him, his voice replaying in my head, even though he had just said it seconds ago.'I really wanted to be kissed.'I blinked, clearing my throat. "You tend to be very honest sometimes."He shrugged. "Maybe."Silence fell between us and I adjusted my sitting position."Are there...other times when you want to be kissed too?"His eyes widened a little and his gaze darted between both of my eyes. I could see the amusement slowly creep in, before he started to laugh, throwing his head back."Really?"I nodded, smiling too. The first and only time I saw him laugh was when Eric came. He burst into another round of laughter again, this time even clapped his hands. I leaned away from him, my smile widening. He really was beautiful.When he managed to stop laughing, he shook his head and looked at me."I don't think I'll answer that." He chuckled to himself as I rolled my eyes, feigning annoyance. "Fine, don't."He laughed again, then stood up and put the plates away. I sighed, throw

He turned off the light in the room when I was done, leaving only the bedside lamps. It gave the room an illusion of sunset, and I smiled at it."It's really pretty."He nodded. "I guess." I stood up from the bed just as he put the covers around and straightened the pillows. I noticed just how extremely clean he was.I sighed, hating that I had to leave now. "Goodnight then." I said, shrugging so he wouldn't see just how much I hated the idea of leaving.Without waiting for him to say a word, I turned to the door.He caught my arm again, just before I got to the door. "Where are you going to?""Uhh..my room. I thought you were getting ready for bed."He nodded. "I am. But where are you going to?"I was blank. "What...""Share my bed. Share my room."I felt my throat go dry with the intensity in his eyes. I blinked to snap out of it, but it felt like I was only falling deeper. Hell."Uhmm...okay. I will shower first."He slowly let go of my arm and nodded.I swallowed, all though extr

The Alpha's Substitute Luna That's What Love Is
Austin's P.O.V.I took the remaining steps towards the large burial ground, the single rose I had plucked from my recent gardening hobby dangling from my fingers. I hated the amount of time it has taken me to come here, but at least I am making my way to her now, and I hope I let myself get to the very end.The grave was still new, and I found myself slowly kneeling toward it, and I dropped the single flower I'd brought. It will wilter and dry up, unlike my love for her. Unlike this undying love I still feel after so long.The headstone had only three letters written in cursive. "I love you."Nothing more. Because I had no words at all to say to her. In front of her, I am a sinner, and I will probably always be. I have no chance for forgiveness with her. She left, long ago, and in her wake a gaping hole.I let out a long sigh. If Hazel were here, she would have said I am a little too young to sigh like that. I smiled, shaking my head a little.I touched the grave again, my fingers sl
The Alpha's Substitute Luna Faded
9 MONTHS LATERHow long can nine full months be? Probably a little too short when you are anticipating to die. But even shorter with a husband who dotes on you like Austin does.Austin received the congrats half heartedly, and brought in some of thbest healers across different packs to wait on me. Sometimes, I felt a little too protected, but I knew he just wanted to keep me safe.Everyday as I watched my pregnancy grow bigger, I felt the fear surge higher. How would things be for them after I die? Would Austin be able to look past my sacrifice and love the children because they belong to him? It sometimes made me wonder, but I also, learned to push it behind me.Sometimes, I caught him just spaced out a little, and sometimes after I slept, he would hold my hand and end up sleeping on a chair. He didn't seem to mind any of it at all, and didn't show me how worried he was also. For that, I was utterly grateful, more than he knew.I stood in front of the open door, watching the sunset.
The Alpha's Substitute Luna Even if it is The Last Thing I Do
The hall looked nothing like the unfinished one that Austin had shown me just yesterday, and I knew there was definitely no way it could have been done without having to pull all nighters.Dark red and black roses adorned a cleared path, and petals filled the floor I was supposed to walk on. Most of the pack were there, and in the front I could see Catherine, tears glistening brightly in her eyes, yet a small smile on her face.I smiled back at her as Austin slowly accompanied me, the train of my dress behind held up by an omega, and the scroll of the Luna's oath waiting on an elevated stand on which Austin would leave me to go to.He gave me a small reassuring smile as he left my side and then made his way to the stand, a happy smile playing on his lips.The standing ovation that had welcomed us was still ongoing, and Austin let it go on for a few more seconds, before he finally raised a hand and firmly clenched his fist. It immediately died down and he lowered his hand."It is an ho
The Alpha's Substitute Luna Charming
We practiced a lot more, my feet slowly getting accustomed to the introductory steps of the dance while only barely escaping making mistakes towards the middle. I never did get too deep, as Austin just told me to focus on the beginning, and he will ensure we don't make a disaster at the end."Just go with my flow, okay?" he said to me and I ordered, allowing him to lead. It was rather convenient, and I found it easier.We retired to bed after a tired dinner, his hand clasped around my waist, drawing me into him, while his other hand stretched under my head to support it. Before I knew it, I was asleep, his slow, even breaths serving to lure me even deeper.I turned on to my back as the bright sunlight assaulted my eyes, then pulled a pillow over my head to shut it out completely. I didn't even care that Austin wasn't in bed, I just know I needed this sleep. "No, not that. I will inspect it myself in the next thirty minutes, so just move on to other things. Spotlight? Well, Hazel isn
The Alpha's Substitute Luna Omega Turned Luna
I woke up with a start, feeling the empty bed around me. I had realized Austin wasn't anywhere near me when I stirred and for some reason it just scared the shit out of me. Maybe because things have been going a little too well and I am scared of anything jeopardizing it, or maybe I was having having bad dream."Hey. You are going to get a headache doing that." Austin said, walking over to where I sat. He held me in his arm, and scanned my face."You are here.""Of course, I was just on the phone with the gamma, I did not want to wake you up. Sorry if that startled you."I disentangled myself from him, leaned away and smiled, feeling my fears immediately drown. "No, I am fine. Maybe I was having a bad dream."He nodded. "I'm sorry."I smiled at him and leaned back on the bead headrest. "You know, I just realized...I never really asked what my duties as luna are."The slight furrow in his brows cleared off and he smiled. "Always so thoughtful. I believe during the crowning, you will ge
The Alpha's Substitute Luna Into His Warmth
"This or this?" I asked Austin as we went over the dresses that were brought for the luna ceremony. He had commenced preparations immediately after, telling me how we needed to plan the world's best Luna ceremony in three days.The omegas waiting on me seemed to have an opinion, even as Austin thinned his eyes at the dresses."Why do you keep picking purple dresses? I think you look good in red." He said, his eyes slowly moving towards the red dress I have left on the bed."It's your favorite, Austin."He rolled his eyes and walked to me, then picked out the red dress. It was designed to hug my body from above, and then spread out into the tulles filled with satin towards the end.He put it in front of me, and then nodded. "I believe this will look good when you wear it.""Fine. I will try it on."He nodded and collected the other dresses, then gestured for the omega to leave. He turned away and closed his eyes as I wore the dress."I can't zip, Austin." I called out to him and he gav
The Alpha's Substitute Luna Lily's Verdict
I stirred a little and turned to the other side, and my eyes fell on Austin. He was sitting facing me, his elbow propped half on the headrest, his eyes fixed on me. My eyes slowly widened as I straightened."Are we here already?" I asked, my voice sleepy.He slowly nodded. "Yes.""You should have woken me up. You must have been tired from driving all day." I squinted my eyes at him. The sun was setting behind him, the sheen causing his hair to turn a golden brown, and make his red eyes a little lighter than they actually are.He smiled and extended his hand to me. "I thought you looked too pretty that way. I wouldn't mind waiting for you."I smiled, and he let go of my hand, then got out of the car. He went around to my seat and opened my door for me, and waited till I got out."Go on. I will bring in our stuff."I nodded and went in, my arms stretching on their own. My neck felt a little stiff, and once I made my way into the house, I found a couch to rest and I just went on it.When
The Alpha's Substitute Luna A Sorry, A Thank you and an I Love You
I felt the entire world come to a stand still as the healer's words hit me again and again, like an ambush of arrows."Me...or the baby?" I asked, a little in a daze. It felt like I was in some faraway place, watching the girl who looked exactly like me sitting in front of the healer.I slowly turned to Austin whose eyes were wide and reddened. Unlike me, he seemed to clearly understand what the healer had said, and seemed to be trying to accept it too."What do you mean?" I asked, feeling hot tears sting the back of my eyes. I blinked rapidly, but it only made them rush down faster, and I felt the warmth on my cheeks."One of you will make it out of labor. It can't be both of you.""Is there no other way? Is there nothing? An offering? A sacrifice? A prayer?"I swallowed on hearing Austin's voice. He sounded just as broken as I was, and my chest filled up."None. That is what's written."Austin gave a slight pause. "What if she doesn't give birth?"I turned to him, my eyes wide. "No
The Alpha's Substitute Luna Punishment for Conceiving the Alpha's Heir
I held Austin's arm tight as she took a step closer to me, and her eyes slowly drifted across to Austin. I turned instinctively to him, but his face was set in expressionless too, his hand holding my waist to keep me on my feet. Seeing him so determined gave me a big of confidence and I swallowed as I turned back to the healer."So she is the one. The substitute I have heard of.""Just check her, healer. Her status does not affect anything." Austin said, his voice cold.She flickered her eyes to him, then back at me. "All of that is good and all, but...do you not realize how powerful a mate bond is? How can an entire pack be so nonchalant towards a mate bond, especially that of the alpha? What were you thinking?"My breath hitched as her eyes thinned in a little judgemental look. I could tell she didn't have good news for us. My eyes lifted to Alpha Evander behind us. He looked a little disgusted too, like he absolutely didn't understand how Austin could disregard a mate bond to be wi
