All Chapters of The Alpha's Substitute Luna: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

My eyes bulged at him. "Kill...kill him? Why..why would I do that?"Liam shrugged. "I thought you were going to be luna?"The way he said it made me realize that it wasn't just enough to be the alpha's mate, or at least, his chosen one, I had to prove myself too. Probably in ways I have never imagined."You should go to the store now," Austin suddenly said from behimd me. "Wear something sexy."I turned to him, then walked closer as Liam walked away in the opposite direction. "What is this about killing someone?""Don't you know about the series of omega killings? Don't you know about my uncle? Don't you know about all our soldiers that are still being held captive?" He was looking at me incredulously, like he couldn't believe I was unaware."I do, but...why does it have to be me?"He didn't answer, but pulled his shirt upwards to reveal a long jagged acar. "Because I tried. And now I know his weakness."Women. It was clear."So I just..." I pulled the syringe towards me, showing how I

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

"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

"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

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
