All Chapters of Becoming The Luna: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Author's povMarcel sat at the table, reviewing drafts for the public verdict. He had to get up very early to do this and ensure everything was "top-notch" before it was sent out at midday. It was barely dawn, and the cool morning breeze from the window was pleasant.He stared at the heading placeholder "Luna" and shook his head. At least, this was a temporary arrangement. A knock broke his focus."Come in," he said tersely without looking up.The door opened, and Arun stepped in, holding a small, worn notebook. His expression was serious as he approached Marcel."Something was discovered near the site where Christina was found," he began, placing the book on the desk. It was found under a boulder."Marcel's eyes flicked to the item. It looked old and unremarkable, certainly not something that would draw his attention if it weren't brought to him."If I recall, it was that area where those men were sent out to get Christina back, so why is this just getting to me?" he asked."I asked

Author's povAlpha John sat in a corner of the cell, his back against the wall and wrists bound with silver chains. He felt beyond humiliated.He was an alpha, a figure of authority to many people, yet he was taken out of his Pack like a criminal. Alpha Marcel had taken care to make it a public arrest—his way of disgracing Alpha John and his cause had been achieved.Throughout the journey to the Black Moon Pack, all Alpha John could think about was Pierce. What would she assume was the matter when she returned from her trip and saw the empty house?He had told his beta to tell her the truth. Covering it up with more lies would only worsen matters, and she would find out in the end. After all, his actions were now public.What a way to rescue his daughters—now he was trapped with them. Things would have turned out differently if he hadn't forgotten his notebook.The sound of footsteps coming closer startled him, and he sat up, looking towards the cell door to see who was approaching.H

Christina's POV"Your back is too stiff," Luna Sandra said sharply, circling me. "A Luna must exude confidence, not rigidity. If you stand like that in front of a pack meeting, they'll think you're a servant, not a leader."I tried to relax my shoulders, but it wasn't easy under her scrutinizing gaze. Ever since my little stunt, I had been more scared of her presence. I remembered the way she had stepped forward as though she was ready to kill me in that instant, and now I was here in a room with her just two days later. I couldn't be blamed for being nervous.She, on the other hand, was harder on me now. It was like she was trying to prove a point to me, even though I had no idea what it was. Or perhaps she just hated me a bit more."You need to keep your chin up. That's the third time I've had to tell you," she added, her tone laced with irritation. "How do you expect anyone to take you seriously when you look ready to bolt at the first sign of conflict?"I clenched my fists at my s

Marcel's POVI frowned and skimmed through the reports that had come in yesterday evening. Being an alpha didn't come with a vacation; every day, something new popped up that needed my attention.Something like the Silvermoon pack in this case.My pen ran over my journal as I documented my plan of action. The Silvermoon pack was known for its isolation. It was fiercely independent and detached from the hierarchy of the werewolf realm.It operated on its government and was out of my authority. However, I was about to venture out of my bounds to visit them.But rumors of unrest had started filtering through, and the last thing I needed was for them to threaten the delicate balance I maintained in the packs under my rule.If Silvermoon descended into chaos, the ripple effects would undoubtedly disrupt my reign. Diplomacy wasn't my strongest suit, but this visit was necessary. It was a chance to ensure peace—or at least plant the seeds of it.I shut the book and picked up the letter I wou

Marcel's POThe silence inside the car was suffocating. My fingers tapped against my thigh as I stared out the window, my mind racing. Christina was gone, taken right under my nose. I felt so insulted like I was suddenly incapable of protecting her.Even worse, I had no idea who had led that attack. Whoever they were, they had better get themselves ready for my revenge, which would be slow and brutal.Mirabel sat across from me, her face calm, but I could see the tension in her posture. She was waiting for me to speak, to decide what needed to be done."You're too quiet," she finally said, her voice careful. “What's on your mind, Alpha?"I clenched my jaw. "I'm trying to figure out the best course of action. Going to the Silver Moon Pack without her wasn't the plan."Mirabel exhaled slowly, folding her hands in her lap. "We can't afford to let this diplomatic mission fail. The Silver Moon Pack is outside your direct authority; this alliance is needed. If we delay or cancel the meetin
