The Luna's Choice: Betrayed By My Alpha Chapter Nine - A Vision of the Past
The familiar smell of her dorm room assaulted her senses as she shut her bedroom door behind her and she smiled softly at the familiarity of this comfortable space that had been solely hers from the day she started. Lucy was luckier than most when it came to dorm rooms. Although the building itself was shared by many students, she had been one of the select few able to get her own personal room, as the daughter of two high ranking pack members. It was sad how their world continually seemed to revolve around rewarding the fittest and punishing the weak, but it wasn’t something that Lucy had been able to change in her past life much to her disappointment. Noah shared his fathers opinion, that defined structure within the packs ensured that everyone knew their place and minimized disruption. Lucy just felt that it was unfair that a wolf couldn’t improve their situation if they were born to the lower ranks unless they mated higher into the pack hierarchy. It was ridiculous and she h
The Luna's Choice: Betrayed By My Alpha Chapter Ten - Cassandra's Ruse
“He has a perfectly good reason for rejecting her and casting her out..” Cassandra announced imperiously as she moved out from behind Noah. Noah’s father narrowed his eyes dangerously as an almost feral growl of fury erupted from his chest. “I wasn’t talking to you, you conniving little wench. Don’t EVER speak in my presence again unless I demand it, do you understand me?!” He roared as Cassandra’s face drained of color and she shrank back behind Noah. Noah’s face darkened instantly as he growled warningly back at his father and met his aggression head-on. “You have no right to speak to her like that. If it wasn’t for Cassy..” “So it’s Cassy now?!” His dad interrupted furiously, stepping forward and taking hold of Noah’s shirt by his collar. ‘Yes! You tell him! Traitorous bastard!” Maia growled enthusiastically inside of Lucy’s head. “If it hadn’t have been for Cassandra, then I never would have found out that Lucy was fucking other guys behind my back!” Noah roared as he force
The Luna's Choice: Betrayed By My Alpha Chapter Eleven - Was He in Your Room?
When she woke up, Lucy lay there staring at the ceiling for a long time as she chewed her cheek thoughtfully.It was obvious that Cassandra had been working on this for a long time, and if Selene had sent her back to this time in her life, then this must be when it all started.Taking into account what she had just witnessed, and Cassandra’s reactions earlier today, then it made perfect sense to her that she was going to have to intervene at every possible juncture to put a stop to her plans. She wouldn’t let anything slide and would make sure that she was present for every single interaction that both Noah and Cassandra had moving forward.Lucy sighed.‘Do you think it’s a little obsessive though?’ She asked Maia tentatively, ‘He’s going to think I’ve lost my mind, or at the very least that I’ve gotten obsessed with him like some sort of crazy stalker.’Maia snorted.‘Pur-lease! Have you been entirely oblivious to the generally possessive males snarling at anyone that so much looks a
The Luna's Choice: Betrayed By My Alpha Chapter Twelve - The Dinner
Noah made sure that his arm was firmly around Lucy as they walked through the doors of the restaurant together. She had tried to wriggle away and offer her hand instead, but the look he had given her told her under no uncertain terms that this was a bad idea.She sighed internally and followed his lead as they greeted his parents, before being directed to one of the private rooms and taking their allocated seats around the dining table.Thankfully, Lucy’s parents hadn’t yet arrived and she breathed a silent sigh of relief. It wasn’t any less awkward though in her mind, having now seen vividly in the future her father in law turn against her so quickly.“Lucy, darling, it’s such a pleasure to see you again. Each time I see you, you look more radiant than the last!” His mother Elora smiled warmly.“Thank you Luna.” Lucy said politely, bobbing her head in acknowledgement as Elora frowned slightly and a flicker of concern crossed her eyes.“Is everything okay? You haven’t called me Luna f
The Luna's Choice: Betrayed By My Alpha Chapter Thirteen - Just Let Me Go
By the time the meal was over, Lucy couldn’t wait to get out of there.The usual distant farewell between her and her parents followed, an awkward silence before an uncomfortable hug with her own parents, followed by the warm embrace of Elora and Noah’s father’s stiff handshake. After saying their goodbyes they made their way to the parking lot and as soon as they were out of sight of the restaurant and it’s patrons, Noah rounded on Lucy.“What’s going on with you? This isn’t normal Lucy.”“Can we not do this here, Noah? Can we wait until we get back, please?” Lucy sighed tiredly.Noah glowered at her furiously as he paced backward and forward in front of her, his hands running through his hair in frustration.“Are you cheating on me?” He asked lowly, the accusation in his tone not lost on her for a second as she blinked at him in disbelief.“Am I…wait ..what? Are you insane?” Lucy asked in disbelief, shaking her head.“You fucking heard me, Lucy. Are you cheating on me.” He growled
The Luna's Choice: Betrayed By My Alpha Chapter Fourteen - A Taste of Freedom
“Let me at least take you home.” Noah pleaded as Lucy shook her head sadly.“No. I don’t think that’s a good idea. I just want to be alone right now.” She replied firmly, the sadness in his eyes tormenting her as it pulled at her heart. Could she save their relationship if she stayed with him? It was so difficult to know for sure, but she really wasn’t willing to take the risk, and giving him any sense of false hope just felt wrong to her. If he wasn’t going to accept the rejection, then there was nothing that she could do to break the link, until he accepted it.“Lucy..please…” He murmured hoarsely, his voice cracking slightly as she forced herself to ignore the hurt in his eyes.“No. I’ll make my own way home. It’s for the best.” She said firmly as she turned and walked away, incredibly grateful for the jacket's protection against the cool summer air that was such a stark contrast to the day's heat.‘We could always run home you know?’ Maia suggested eagerly.‘We could…’ Lucy chuc
The Luna's Choice: Betrayed By My Alpha Chapter Fifteen - A Secret Rendezvous
Lucy squatted silently in the bushes, peering out from between the leaves and shrouded in darkness. She was fortunate that the rustling of the leaves in the trees that ringed the clearing would most likely cover any inadvertent noise that she made. Why was Cassandra all the way out here? As Cassandra’s voice drifted towards her, Lucy strained forward slightly, as she tried to listen attentively, determined to pick up whatever snippets of the conversation that she could.“You really disappointed me this time you know? I thought we had a deal…” Cassandra whined as she leaned in towards the masculine figure in front of her. The figure flinched backwards slightly as her long fingers reached towards his face and his arm snapped up to grip her wrist and pushed it away.“I never agreed to anything Cassy. You asked, and I was perfectly clear when I said I couldn’t promise anything.” The male voice growled. Lucy groaned inwardly in frustration. It was irritating that the shadows shrouded t
The Luna's Choice: Betrayed By My Alpha Chapter Sixteen - Theo
Lucy waited for what seemed like forever in the bushes until finally, Caspian had left the clearing.She was fairly sure that no one else was around but she waited a few moments longer just to be sure before she crept out of the bush and made her way back to her dorm room.The whole thing baffled her though. How had she not realized that Cassandra had been holding people to ransom and manipulating people behind everyone’s back? “I’d always considered myself a good judge of character, Maia…how could I have been so wrong?’‘None of this is our fault Lucy. If we had known, or even suspected that she was like this back then I know for a fact that we would have stepped in or at least confronted her about it.’ Maia soothed, ‘All this proves is that Cassandra is a master manipulator, a professional narcissist.” Lucy hummed in agreement as she crossed the courtyard on the final stretch to her room, but as she came closer to the building's entrance, she saw that Theo was waiting there.She p

Lucy watched in horror as her past self begged and pleaded with Noah as he loomed above her menacingly.“I swear Noah, it’s not what you think! I would never willingly cheat on you, not with anyone!” she sobbed.“Don’t fucking lie to me, Lucy!” He hissed furiously, slamming his fist on the bed as her past self flinched away from him, “You’ve refused to let me take you to bed, pleading with me to wait, yet with Theo, you’ve happily bent over backward, or rather, let him fuck you up against the wall whilst you wrapped your legs around his waist.” “Noah, i..”“SHUT UP!” He screamed as he ran his hands through his hair and began to pace, his eyes almost feral as his wolf raged inside of him, “There’s absolutely nothing that you can say that will make this any better. What is it then? Am I not good enough for you?”His face took on an almost manic expression as he glowered down at her and his lip curled back in an open snarl. Lucy’s past self attempted to scramble backward as far as she c
The Luna's Choice: Betrayed By My Alpha Chapter Forty Five - A Different Past
“What the hell…again?!” Lucy murmured in annoyance as she found herself once more in the dreamlike state that allowed her to watch events that had happened in her past, that she had been entirely unaware of.It was a strange feeling, being an ethereal bystander as the people who had betrayed her so deeply went about their business in front of her. She slid down the wall onto the ground next to Maia, as Maia yawned loudly and scratched behind her ears.“I’ve had the pleasure of seeing this one multiple times when our link was severed,” Maia said in a bored tone, “Do you want me to tell you what happens?”Lucy wrinkled her nose as she thought about it and shook her head.“No, it’s ok. I feel like the Goddess wants me to see these things for myself to keep me on track and remind me of who I can trust and who are absolute pieces of shit.” Lucy smiled humorlessly as Maia snorted.“Well, I can tell you now, it would be more helpful if the goddess would give us a heads up about our past li
The Luna's Choice: Betrayed By My Alpha Chapter Forty Four - New Besties
“What are you doing here?” Ella gasped as she stared at Cassandra in horror.“It’s a free country isn’t it?” Cassandra shrugged nonchalantly as she examined her nails in feigned disinterest, “I can wander wherever I want to, without asking permission.”Ella gaped at her in disbelief.“Are you fucking with me?” “Now why on earth would I do that?” Cassandra smirked, strolling casually into the room and walking around the edges, trailing her hands along the wall as she did so.“Because that's what you fucking wolves do,” Ella suddenly snapped, “Anyone who isn’t like you, you fucking crush beneath your furry hides until they’ve either submitted to you completely or they’ve eradicated your kind from existence.”Cassandra stopped and tilted her chin arrogantly as she looked down her nose at her.“They do, don’t they.” She purred as she slowly moved a foot forward and kicked over one of the candles that had been so neatly arranged in a circle.She chuckled at the confused and angry expressi
The Luna's Choice: Betrayed By My Alpha Chapter Forty Three - The Hybrid
Noah had finally left Theo alone with Lucy so that he could go and freshen up. It had been almost a week since Lucy was admitted and she had started to spend a little longer each day awake.She had been confused at first about what had happened and then angry that Noah was there at her bedside, but they had explained it away to her as simply concern.Theo tried to take the nighttime shifts so that she wasn’t alone but the nurses hadn’t been keen on this until Noah stepped in and said that he would be there as well. So of course, as their future Alpha, they had relented and allowed them both to stay.They had soon discovered though, that at night, her dreams seemed to be full of nightmares and she frequently called out in her sleep.Tonight though had been quite calm so far and other than a little tossing and turning, she seemed to be much more settled, much to both of their relief.So, Theo sat with his textbook at her bedside, while he waited for Noah to come back. The textbook on St
The Luna's Choice: Betrayed By My Alpha Chapter Forty Two - The New Girl
Cassandra paled considerably as she stole a glance towards Noah and Theo, quickly avoiding their eyes as they both shot a disgusted glance towards her.“Thank you, Frederick. Do you have any idea when she’ll be allowed home?” Noah asked.“When her bloodwork comes back clear and physiologically she has recovered, then she can return home.” He answered with a nod, “Now if you’ll excuse me, I have other patients to see. If you need anything in the meantime, please don’t hesitate to drop by the nurses station.”Noah and Theo nodded to him as he left the room and as soon as the door shut behind him, they rounded on Cassandra.“You should be fucking ashamed of yourself!” Theo hissed furiously.“ME?! Why should I be ashamed?! I can’t help it if she lied to me about things, or if things looked the way they did!” Cassandra yelled back and turned to Noah, “You saw how they were together! You can’t tell me that you didn’t reach the same conclusion as I did when you entered that room and saw her
The Luna's Choice: Betrayed By My Alpha Chapter Forty One - She was Drugged?!
Noah and Theo sat in the private room Lucy had been transferred to in awkward silence. Noah had seen the way Theo looked at Lucy and despite his earlier apology, he still felt as though Theo felt more for Lucy than he was letting on. After all, he had seen that look of devotion before …it was the same way he looked at her whenever they were together.There had still been no news about Cassandra either, although he had reluctantly messaged her to ask her to come to the hospital. All three of them needed to talk seriously about just what the hell had been going on recently between them all.“When she’s recovered from whatever this is, I’ll make sure she gets home safely,” Theo said grimly as he sat at her bedside.“No, we’ll both take her home,” Noah replied with a scowl as Theo sighed and leaned back in his chair heavily.“Seriously?” He huffed, shaking his head in disbelief, “I think you’re the last person she wants close to her at the minute. Don’t you think that her feelings are go
The Luna's Choice: Betrayed By My Alpha Chapter Forty - You're Just As Responsible...
“Keep your eye on that fucktard,” Noah hissed to his entourage as two of them hastened to obey and stood watch next to his body.“The ambulance will be here in a few minutes Alpha.”“Good. We’ll wait outside for them,” “We can’t just leave her here,” Theo hissed as Noah strode towards the doorway.“I don’t intend to. I’ll take her downstairs. I would rather the rest of the shifters don't see her in this state so I’ll carry her out as if she’s simply had too much to drink. We can explain when they arrive.”“Oh my god! Lucy!” Cassandra wailed as she rushed to the doorway just as Noah passed through it and attempted to cling to his arm, but he shook her off.“You can get the fuck out of here too.”“Noah, please...I was just trying to help…”“Help?!” Noah snorted, “If this is helping I’d hate to see what the fuck you think causing problems is for people.”“I didn’t know she had a drug problem!” Cassandra whined as Noah froze on the spot and gritted his teeth, turning to her slowly with a
The Luna's Choice: Betrayed By My Alpha Chapter Thirty Nine - What did you do to her?
“I told you I wasn’t lying.” Cassandra murmured, turning her head in a perfect act of shame and devastation, “I’m so sorry that she did this to you.”Noah’s face was unreadable as he stared intently at the two figures on the couch but internally, his wolf was practically feral. He wanted to be let loose on the male that dared to lay next to his mate and no matter how Noah tried to explain that she and her wolf had rejected them, it just didn’t seem to sink in.Without bothering to look at Cassandra he stepped forward quietly, looking down at her half-naked body for a moment before shrugging his jacket off and laying it over her exposed skin.She murmured in her sleep and the way her brows scrunched together made his heart ache for her to be laid in his arms, not this male that she had just met. He narrowed his eyes at the man beside her and snorted softly.“I know you’re still awake, male, your breathing is not deep enough to be truly asleep.” He snarled quietly, “I can hear your hea
The Luna's Choice: Betrayed By My Alpha Chapter Thirty Eight - I Am NOT a Psycho!
As the small group of them made their way up the stairs, Theo’s voice called out above the music towards Cassandra and she froze.She knew for a fact that he would try to think of a way to defend Lucy and her actions, but there really wasn’t any rational explanation that he could offer that would excuse her from the situation Cassandra had set up.She wondered whether or not it was a good idea for him to come with them, but perhaps this would be the push that he needed to finally turn away from that uppity little bitch.“Theo!” Cassandra waved, gesturing for him to head over.He and Noah exchanged scowls as he passed and Cassandra felt, rather than heard, the low rumbling in the air around them resulting from Noah’s warning growl.“Where did you all disappear off to? I turned around and you were gone. Then I tried to find Lucy and Caspian and I couldn't seem to find them anywhere,” Theo frowned.“Yeah, I tried to find them as well so I went looking for them in case they had gone somew
