All Chapters of Alpha Son's Fated But Rejected Mate(A Cursed Luna): Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

  From my earliest memories, I recalled being told I'd never shift. That I was cursed, broken, no good. I'd been told it wasn't even possible before I ever tried. But that wasn't right. You couldn't try to shift. The first shift happened. It wasn't anything done on the part of the shifter. "Why didn't I shift at the full moon like everyone else?" I asked, my voice tinged with frustration. "Because you didn't want to," she said, her tone calm and matter-of-fact. "Sure I did. If I could shift, I wouldn't have been so weak," I replied, my memories of those helpless moments haunting me. I would have given anything to be able to protect myself. "You had a plan in place, didn't you?" she asked, her eyes keenly studying me. "Yeah. I was going to run," I confesse

Something was definitely amiss here, but I couldn't determine if it had malicious intentions behind it. Regardless, I had no intention of going to Tony's cabin for a shower, even though the idea of one seemed heavenly right now. I was determined to find the lake on my own.I retraced my steps, following the path I had taken with Megan, but it didn't take long for me to realize that I was hopelessly lost without guidance. Damn it, why was I so terrible at navigation? My sense of direction left much to be desired.Finding the lake seemed like a lost cause, but I figured I could at least locate Danielle's tent. I turned around and managed to make my way back to camp, heading towards Danielle's tent. As I walked, I couldn't help but ponder the true nature of the situation I had gotten myself into.My mind was a jumbled mess as I weighed the limited information available, trying to assess the pros and cons. There was so much I didn't know about my newfound friends. Throughout my life, I had

A colossal pile of wood had been meticulously arranged, creating a towering centerpiece within the common area. All the tables and seating had been cleared away, leaving the grassy space open with the future bonfire at its heart. As Danielle playfully added her kindling to a small pile next to the wood, she emphasized the significance of the event. "I told you. It's kind of a big thing. Any excuse for a party, right?" I shared the meager details of my pack's full-moon ceremonies, which mainly involved solemn rituals for the newly minted nineteen-year-olds."Though," I admitted, "I'm sure there were parties I wasn't invited to."Danielle draped her arm over my shoulders, and I felt a warm sense of belonging that I hadn't experienced before. "Not anymore," she asserted, welcoming me into this unique family of feral shifters.It was a feeling I cherished as we exchanged smiles, a newfound hope for genuine belonging beginning to blossom.With excitement, Danielle disclosed her secret t

I found myself uncertain whether the question originated from within me or my wolf. Nevertheless, it seemed inconsequential which part of me it stemmed from. We were supposed to be united, two halves forming a whole. However, I had yet to sense that profound connection, which led to my hesitation. Contemplating the prospect of shifting, I acknowledged the possibility of success. But what would follow? I remained ignorant of the process to return to my human form. My prior wolfish experiences were shrouded in amnesia. The unsettling thought crossed my mind: What if the wolf within me gained complete dominance and fled back to Wolf Bay? Such a risk was unacceptable. I needed to acquire the skill of shifting correctly, or not at all. This was my sole opportunity for guidance while in this place, and I couldn't afford to mishandle it. Once I achieved mastery, I would be left to my own devices.

She had an espresso pot perched on a grate above a fire pit, so as long as she was willing to share, I didn't really care how she knew my name. "Hi, I don't think we've met formally," I said. "I'm Penny, Megan's mom," she smiled. "Thank you for what you did to help distract my girl. They told me that you got her away so she didn't have to see Justin in that state." "Megan's a great kid. I'm glad I could help. How is Justin?" I asked. "He's going to pull through." I placed my hand on my chest, relieved to hear the news. "Thank the gods." "I've never seen anything so scary in my whole life," she admitted. "The toxin is scary stuff." My brow furrowed. "Toxin?" "I thought you were from Wolf
