All Chapters of To Be a Luna: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

One Year Ago. “Athena!” Selena’s voice pierced through the thin walls of our home. I would never understand why she yelled when even the sound of a pin-drop could be heard from anywhere. “Yes, Selena?” I called out softly. I heard her marching up to the attic, where I did most of my sketches and paintings. The attic had the best view of the stream behind our house, so I figured it would be the best place for motivation. It was. She climbed up the ladder leading to the attic and shook her head with a sigh as she sighted me. I was huddled up in front of the window. It was cold, but I was making a sketch of the stream. I wasn’t done just yet. “What are you doing here, all by yourself?” Her voice was soft and smooth, like velvet, when she didn’t yell. She had the kindest eyes I had ever seen. Take it from me, since not a lot of people looked at me kindly. “I’m always here, all by myself,” I giggled as she sat beside me. She shut the window, eliciting a frown from me. “I was sketchin

Mate? I couldn’t have one just yet. My mate was an Alpha. I was an Omega. Was that some sort of a sick joke? He never took his eyes off of me as he descended the stairs. People started to notice. They were now paying attention to me. I finally found a way out of my daze and turned, running away. It took everything in me to do that, for two major reasons; one, I was running away from the Alpha who was apparently my mate. Two, I was running in a long dress and heels. After falling and scraping myself a whole lot, I finally got home and slammed the door behind me. I slid down with my back against the door as tears rolled down my cheeks. I was not ready. I wasn’t ready to leave Selena. I also wasn’t ready to be without my mate, especially now that I knew I had one. How could I be mated to an Alpha? Omegas were the weakest link in the rank, and the Alphas… Well, everyone knew who the Alphas were. When I asked for the moon goddess to be with me, that was the complete opposite of what

Half shifted. I was still standing on my two feet, but my body was full of hair and my claws were bared. I was as confused at my form as I was fearful of my mate. As soon as I had slashed him across the face, he had shifted. Now, all three wolves were growling at me. What shocked me the most was how Raya was not willing to back down. She growled back at all three of them. I was still trying hard to take full control, but it was to no avail. A heavy weight pushed me to the ground. Ferra’s wolf snarled at me as she tried to bite into my skin, but I managed to fight back and push her off of me. Frazier came next, his grey wolf larger than Ferra’s. Before he could reach me, though, Conrad’s wolf was in front of me. He growled at Frazier, causing Frazier to whimper and back off. Ferra shifted back into her human form, naked and flawless. Her red hair cascaded down her back as she approached me and Conrad. “Whose side are you on, Conrad?” she snapped at him, staring his wolf down. His

My eyes watered, my vision blurred, my mind whirred.Selena had told me about what she had felt when she was first marked by her mate. It was sharp and painful at first, but then the tingles spread. She felt ecstatic.But nothing else followed for me.Sharp pain came after sharp pain as I struggled to rid myself of his tight grip.When he finally let me go, I slumped into my seat. My neck burned as I felt warm liquid seep through the mark. I could hear claps but I could barely see.Before I could excuse myself to go upstairs, I fell against the floor, darkness enveloping me.~I groaned, sitting up. My head hurt, but not as much as my neck did. I touched my neck and found that it was bandaged up. I held my head in my hands as it pounded without stop.“How do you feel?” I jumped as a familiar voice came from the window.Conrad leaned against the wall beside the window with his arms crossed, watching me. He was trying to cover up some type of anger, but I could still see it.“

The countdown to when my life would officially be at stake for all who were around to see, was down to three minutes.I was standing at a far end of the field, sick to my stomach. What made me feel that way was not the near end growing closer – although that was a part of it – but the excitement in the air at the thought of someone dying.As much as I didn’t want to think of myself as a mere animal for litter, I couldn’t help but almost laugh at the fact that I was, in fact, an animal. But so were they.I made my way to the middle of the crowd which increased with each passing minute. I could see Conrad heading toward me and Frazier.When he got to the middle of the crowd and stood between us, he cleared his throat. “Good day, everyone!”What is good about the day, Conrad? I almost sneered at him.“Today, we’ll be having a death match between my Beta and your Luna.” Cheers erupted. He didn’t call me his mate. Just their Luna.“I advice that you sit tight, relax, and if any one
