All Chapters of The Luna's Choice: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

I still can't believe he banished me. After everything that's happened, everything I've been through, I thought I had finally found my true mate. My one chance of happiness. And now he's gone too.I don't know what to do or where to go. I have no pack. No home. No mate. Nothing.I'm not even sure I have a reason to live. But I do know I don't want to die in this fire. So I run.I run for miles and miles, moving in a straight line. I'm not sure where I'm going, I just know that I need to go as far away from here as possible.The tears are welling up in my eyes. I know I need to be strong, but I can't help myself. I fall down to my knees and sob. I think about everything I've lost. My pack. My sense of safety and security. My chance to fit in with a new pack. And now, I've lost my true mate-- been banished by him all because of the lies of a jealous rival. It's like I'm stuck in a never-ending nightmare.I sit there and cry for a long time. I don't know what to do next. I don't kn

JACKLYNI was so close to having it all.The fire was a good plan. Brilliant, even. And it worked, too. At least, initially.But then that jerk James had to go and launch an investigation. And those busybodies had to tell him they saw me, and now everything is ruined.The camp is falling apart. They're saying that I set the fire, and that I was going to kill everyone. Nobody will believe me. Nobody ever does.I'm the villain now, and Victoria is the hero. She's had her punishment and now everybody loves her. I'll never get the chance to be the good guy again.But maybe that's not such a bad thing. Maybe I should just embrace it. I don't need to be the good guy here. I just need Max.I need to find a way to get him back. I know he thinks he loves Victoria, but he doesn't. Not really. He can't. Because he's my true mate. Mine.And I'll do whatever it takes to get him back. I could kill her. That's one option. It would be easy, too. She's so weak from everything she's been t

MAXIt's amazing what a difference a few days can make. A week ago, I didn't even know Victoria. Two days ago, I thought we were going to lose everything and everyone we loved in a fire.But we didn't.And now, her I am, standing at a celebration with my true mate, getting ready to announce my engagement-- getting ready to share the news of my one true love with my pack. My family. And I have never been happier."Are you ready?" I ask Victoria."Yes," she says.    I can't help but love the way she looks in her strapless pink dress.    She's the most beautiful girl in the world, and she's going to be my wife.    I can't believe this is really happening.    But it is.I pull her in for a kiss, and her lips are soft and sweet.    I wrap my arms around her and hold her close.I take her hand, and we walk over to a clearing where people are already gathering.    Victoria and I are standing in front of everyone. We came here together, but now it's time for me to let her go."Fo

JACKLYNI can't believe it worked. I mean, I knew I had a good plan. And the witch said it would work because dark magic gives you what you were destined to have, and I know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that Max is my destiny.I always have.But still, it feels too good to be true.Everything played out exactly how I hoped it would. Exactly how I planned it. When Victoria left, Max was so completely lost and hopeless that it was easy to bend him to my will.It was so easy to make him forget about Victoria and fall completely for me. It was so easy to get him to agree to everything. I am his now. He is mine. I've got Max exactly where I want him, and now that Victoria's out of the way, there's nothing standing in my way. Our wedding is scheduled for a week from Sunday, and there's so much to do. Max is coming over any minute to help with the wedding prep. He's such a more committed, helpful fiancé this time around.So much so that it feels forced. Almost like he's been bra

MAX"Are you sure you want to do this, Max?" my sister says.I know she means well, but that's not exactly a comforting thing to say to a guy who's about to walk down aisle. "Yes," I say."Really?" she says. "Because you don't seem very happy.""Because I'm nervous," I say. "I don't know why you're making such a big deal about this.""Because I think you're making a mistake," she says. "I saw how you looked at Victoria, Max. You never look at Jacklyn that way.""I love Jacklyn," I insist."You don't look like it," she says."Oh yeah? And how do I look?""Like a zombie," she says. "Like your soul is dead."Her words cut deep. I want to yell at her, to lash out, but I know she's right.Not that it matters."Yeah, well," I say, "it doesn't matter. Victoria doesn't want to be with me.""I saw her with you the night you announced your engagement, Max. I don't know what happened between you two, but I know true mates when I see them, and--""Enough!" I interrupt. "Just-- be
