"A little play thing?" Duncan asked, sizing me up, but I could see where his eyes lingered. I was sure Austin could see too, judging from the smile on his face.

"I hear you like them lots. So I got you one fiery she wolf. Had to cover her up good so no other wolves growl at my gift for you."

Liar. I thought as i tried to straighten to a seating position.

"She is beautiful." Duncan remarked, then leaned towards me.

I immediately closed my eyes as he trailed a rough finger down my face to my neck, then lingered at the clothe's neckline.

"You have enough time to do that, Duncan." Austin's voice cut him off from his exploration, saving me from the monstrous wolf.

"I guess I do. It seemed you took some time to do your research before bringing her to me."

Austin looked at me, and I thought back to that one kiss we shared. "Of course. But I kept her exclusively for you. For your entertainment." He added the last part simply for the effect.

I struggled to a seating position finally, then lo

  • The Alpha's Substitute Luna   Duncan

    I stayed there, watching his eyes. Deep blue that somehow knocked the breath out of me. Not in the way Austin's deep red ones did, but in a different way. In a way that had me almost tripping over."Hazel! What are you doing?" Austin whispered harshly, his voice a small hiss.I turned to him, blinking a little, then turned back to Duncan. He seemed just as frozen in place as I was, and for some reason I found the hand that held the syringe becoming a little weak."Hazel!"I blinked again, snapping out of my reverie only for a small moment, before quickly going back, my lips parting slightly. How had I not noticed how beautiful he was? Not like Austin, he didn't have the sheer perfection Austin had, but there was something...the more I looked at him, the more I felt like I was being pulled to him. Ever so violently, but ever so subtly.I swallowed, feeling my throat go dry as he raised his hand to me, then slowly touched my cheek, letting his fingers push my hair away.I found my self

  • The Alpha's Substitute Luna   A Matter Of Choice

    "How can Duncan be your mate? Of all werewolves in this pack and outside, it had to be Duncan?"I swallowed and looked up at him. "The same way your mate ended up being the woman who broke your heart."Silence fell between us, my eyes wide. When he spoke again, his voice was calm, yet angry. So angry."Hazel, you seem to always forget. In the eyes of the world and mine...you are the woman the moon goddess has given to me. Don't go around saying things about Catherine because I don't want to have to deal with any mess." He sighed and raked his hands through his hair."It is so easy to do that, I guess." I answer in a small voice. I wasn't even sure if I was sarcastic."About Duncan..." He sucked in his lower lip. "Let it stay between us. Since he is already dead, the mate bond doesn't stand for anything any longer. It is already severed and you are a free wolf now."I took in a deep breath. "You asked me to think of this as you intertwining the thread of bonds. I guess you forgot to me

  • The Alpha's Substitute Luna   How Dare You

    "What are you doing?" I asked him, my eyes taking him in. He still looked the same, but it wasn't like I had expected him to change. It hasn't been that long. But so much had happened through that short time, and he had gone from being my closest friend to someone I wasn't so sure about."I asked nicely, Hazel." He said, then blinked and took a step closer to me."Are we still on this? What is so wrong with staying friends? What is so wrong in the relationship we used to have? Why can't we just keep it that way? Why can't you stay my friend?"His brows furrowed. "Is it not obvious, Hazel? I have been a fool for so long and now I want to correct all those....""I would rather you don't. I would rather you stay the same way, please." I didn't give him another chance to speak, before I turned away towards the half closed door.The first thing I saw when I stepped out the door was Alpha Austin's very unmistakeable frame as he climbed the first stair.I immediately went back in, my heart

    I snatched my hand from his grip and wiped my tears away. "How dare I what?"He looked at me. "Hazel. You don't seem to take me seriously. You don't seem to take this entanglement seriously."I scoffed. "Entanglement? I should take this seriously? When you can always go out to meet your ex lover while I sit here and wait for you like the forlorn wife?""Is that what you needed to prove to me?" A smirk spread on his face and he shook his head, letting his fingers effortlessly pass through his hair."No. That was not...""Save your breath." He walked past me and sat on the bed. "I moved the mating ceremony up. As for Catherine, I don't feel like I have to prove anything to you. You may think you are the forlorn wife, but I honestly don't care what you think."I swallowed. "I figured. I figured you wouldn't care. What is the use anyway?"He said nothing and I sighed."I just wanted to get my thing from the pack house. I didn't go there to see Simon.""It doesn't matter anyway." He said s

    "Let go of me," The strange guy said to Austin who rolled his eyes and let him go.He then slowly turned to me. "Have you met Hazel?""Hazel? Is that...her name?" He never took his eyes off me even as I pushed the covers off and slowly made my way to them."Hi."He responded with a smile. "Hello.""He is Eric, my cousin and childhood friend. He will be here for some time."I turned to Austin and nodded. "Nice to meet you.""It is my pleasure. But...you make me curious.""Everything makes you curious, Eric.""Let me ask her," He said sternly, and Austin laughed. "You think that will scare me?""Why? Because you are now alpha? Those red eyes don't fit you."I smiled along with them. Then carefully excused myself to go to the washroom."What did you want to ask her?" I heard Austin say."That is not Catherine. You were obsessed with Catherine for longer than I can remember so...it is not possible you just dumped her."There was silence. I walked to the door to listen better."That was

  • The Alpha's Substitute Luna   I Still Love Her

    Later that night, I, Austin and Eric sat across from each other over a table full of drinks, each slightly tipsy. Eric had to drag me down for dinner, and Austin didn't seem to mind, but with the grand alpha less than concerned with us and Lily being absent, we three had the time and space to ourselves.I leaned back on the couch, my eyes slightly closing. My head throbbed slightly, but I felt on cloud nine and a little too confident."So, Hazel..." Eric started to say, as he leaned on the table and refilled his cup. "Why would you agree to something like that?"He gulped the drink again, then let out a small hiccup."Why wouldn't she?" Austin asked, drawling. He was sitting like the alpha male he was, one of his hands spread over the couch he was resting on, and one knee drawn to him. "I could see that she liked it.""Why would she like it?" Eric asked. "She's beautiful. She could have had anyone. Including you."I gulped and turned to Austin, who looked a little somber now. He sai

  • The Alpha's Substitute Luna   Outside The Pack

    I calmly sat on the couch, one leg folded under me. My heart was breaking, but my eyes refused to concede, and I just sat there, blank.My mind reeled over the events of my life, my chest filling up. I don't even remember her coming to us last night. I don't remmeber seeing her at all and now...I stood and went back up, determined to wake him up this time."Austin." I said, touching his shoulder lightly. "Austin, wake up."His eyes squinted, before, ever so slowly, he opened his eyes and turned them to me."Is something wrong?" He asked, his voice low.I pursed my lips, and just stared at him. It must have made him uncomfortable because he straightened, letting the sheets fall away from his upper body. He leaned back on the headboard, then looked at me again, his hand on his forehead."Is something wrong? You woke me up.""What isn't wrong, Alpha Austin?"He tilted his head to the right. "What do you mean?""Maybe you should take a look around you," I said to him and he promply turne

    "Austin. So nice to see you here." The woman said. I slowly walked backwards till I was right next to Austin. He was rather cold and stiff, like a statue. Or maybe he just gave up knowing we were already in deep shit."What are you doing here?" I asked in a whisper."You shouldn't have left the pack. I told you not to. But will you listen? Of course not." He looked pissed now, and he slowly lifted his head up to the woman."I feel very delighted seeing you too, Lilia." He smiled, then put his arm around my shoulder. My eyes widened at the name and I turned to her. "However beautiful this meeting may be, we are already done here. Let's go."I almost let out a sigh of relief when we successfully turned on our heels and took the first step, but before I could take another, the cold hard end of a gun was leveled directly at Austin's chest.I gasped, my hand instinctively going to my mouth as I started to realize how deep the trouble I had gotten us into was."Is there really any need for

  • 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

    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

    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

    "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

    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

    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

    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
