All Chapters of The Luna's Choice: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

 The den I am led to is basic.Small and dark.Fit for an omega.I sink into the bed.Fatigue overcomes me.How is this my life?I have lost everything.I have lost my pack.I have lost my mate.I am too tired to cry.I close my eyes and fall asleep.A gentle paw shakes me awake."Time to get up. Time to hunt."I open my eyes.It is dawn.For a moment, I think I am back in my old pack.Then I realize where I am.The guard from yesterday peers at me.My stomach drops."What time is it?""Day break.""You hunt so early?""You have to hunt," the guard says. "You have to prove your worth as a hunter."I drag myself out of bed.Then I follow the guard outside.He makes his way towards the hunting grounds."What is your name?" I ask.He shakes his head. "I don't have one yet.""Your real name," I say. "Not your hunt name.""My real name does not matter."He is infuriating."I'm Victoria," I tell him."Not for long," he replies.I notice how his blonde fur

I run through the camp and to the alpha's den.I walk up to him."What do you want?" he asks."My match is not what I wanted," I say. "I want out.""It's too late for that," he says."What?""Your match is final.""No!""It's final," he says. "You will be with Impala. Go back to your mate."I turn away from him.But he grabs me by the scruff of my neck and turns me back towards him."What are you doing?" I say, fearfully."When you go back to your mate, you will be submissive.""But-""Go back to your mate."He pushes me away.I return to the den.Cloud is waiting for me."Go away," I say."I can't let you leave," he says. “It’s not that simple.""I'm leaving," I say."I will hurt you if you leave."I look at him.He looks so scary. I feel terrified.It's not just him that I'm scared of.I'm scared of being alone.I'm scared of being in this new place with the foreign pack.I'm scared of my small, pathetic match.I study Cloud. His eyes are narrowed, and his

I wake up on the floor of a cave. My vision is still blurry, and my head is spinning, but I think I can make out the shape of bars around me.I am confused. Why am I in a cave? And why are there bars on the door? I try to stand up, but the room starts to spin, and I fall back down. I am dizzy. I try to crawl away from the bars, but I slip, and I feel my body hit the floor.I don't know what is happening. When I try to get up again, I start to lose my balance. My vision is getting even blurrier. I feel weak. So weak. I look down and realize I am covered in blood-- matted in it, even.It's on my legs, my belly, my paws. It's even on my back, which I can't see.I touch it, and the pain stings.I try to stop the bleeding, but I can't.My sight is fading.I'm so cold, and I'm struggling to breathe.My lungs are burning, but I force myself to inhale anyway. I know that if I stop breathing, I will die.My vision is still blurry, but I can see the bars.I can't rememb

"Are you finished?"I turn and look. The man from before, the one known as the guard, is standing just outside the door.I am nervous and I don't know what to say, but I don't want to say the wrong thing and get into trouble.I have no idea what the Alpha expects of me, and I have no idea how much trouble I can get into.The only way this is going to work is if I follow their rules. If I play by the rules and do what they say, I might get a chance at escape."I-- I need your help," I say. "I don't know what to do.""Then let me help you," he says."I don't know what the Alpha expects," I say."Just follow my lead and you'll be fine.""But--" I start to say."Just do what I say."I hesitate, but then I realize there's no other way, so with a nod, I agree to follow his lead.He tells me that I'm to get dressed in the clothes that are set before me, in the little basket.At first, I'm confused, as there aren't any clothes in the little basket, but then I realize he's talkin

Ajax looks at me. It's clear that he doesn't want me to stay, but he understands."I can't just leave you here," he says."You have to," I say. "They won't come for you the way they'll come for me. The Alpha would never admit you escaped. It would make him look weak. You have a chance at a life.""But what about you?" he asks."I'll be okay," I say, and I wonder if he knows just how much I don't believe that."Go," I say, firmly. "You don't have much time."He stares at me. I can tell he's torn. But he also knows I'm right."Just go," I say. "Before they come looking for you-- before they come looking for me."He hesitates, and then runs out into the forest, disappearing into the trees.The second he is gone, I see the guard coming towards the mouth of the cave. He has an expression on his face that tells me he knows exactly what I've done. And he is furious. "Where is he?" he asks, coming towards me.He is about to hit me when I decide I'm going to have to fight back. The
