All Chapters of Becoming The Luna: Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

Christina's POV"I'm sure I just gave an order," Marcel said, taking a step forward and glaring down at all of them. I wondered if he hadn't seen the problem at hand yet.I wanted to reach out to him and explain what I could sense going on in the people's minds, but I stayed rooted to the spot."Why the sudden hesitation?" he asked.At his words, some people bowed their heads and knelt, but others remained standing with defiant looks on their faces.I watched as Elder Garrick stepped forward and began to speak. "Alpha Marcel, we serve you, there's no doubt about that," he began. "But we cannot serve her." He looked pointedly at me, and I hung my head, in shame, causing my cheeks to burn."She's an Omega, and even though you have mated her, we cannot accept her as our Luna."Hearing him voice out my fears made them real. The rejection stung. Alpha Marcel glanced sharply, from me to Elder Garrick, his brows furrowed in anger or confusion—I couldn't tell.I was suddenly hit with the urge

Marcel's POVChristina wasn't telling me the truth. I saw it in the way her eyes shifted, unable to meet mine, and it made me curious.I thought that I had established a certain level of trust with her, but apparently, I thought wrong.I was going to let the matter drop, but I just remembered the way she screamed—the look of pure agony on her face as she clutched her hair—and that broke my resolve.I reached out and held her wrist when she started to turn away. "Christina, talk to me. Tell me what you saw.""Stop!" she cried, shaking her head. I let go of her hand, feeling rather awful. She looked like she was about to melt down in tears."I don't want to remember. Please don't make me say it.""You’re not afraid of shifting," I said it like a fact, watching her reaction carefully. "You’re afraid of what happens when you do."Her eyes widened slightly before she masked it, but I caught it.Her jaw clenched, and for a moment, I thought she would tell me. But then she took another step

Christina's povThe world beyond the estate walls was quite different from the world within. It seemed everyone here was busy. All around us, people moved quickly, carrying bags and supplies wrapped in plastic bags, making calls, whispering to one another, some just lurking in corners.There were even kids here, running around and talking in groups. A few were with their parents.I huddled closer to my sisters, feeling like a stranger to these people. I was the only one nervous though my sisters walked with such confidence as though they were used to seeing this amount of activity, while all I wanted to do was run back to my safe and quiet abode."At this rate, you're going to give yourself away," Melissa said, a smile in her voice as she turned to me. She pulled her cloak a bit tighter over her head.Becca had suggested we come out in disguises, especially on my behalf because I was well-known. However, Melissa had decided to go overboard, actually getting a cloak that covered most o

Marcel's povI blinked, well and truly surprised by her words. If anything I expected to hear, that it wasn't her trying to reciprocate my actions. She was in no place to do that. People would attack and bring her down before she could even say a word.When Arden told me that Christina was out of the estate and in the lower section with her sisters, I made my way there immediately.Throughout the ride, my heart beat rapidly, only able to think of the worst possible scenario: her tied to a stake and set ablaze just like her mother was.With Arden's directions, finding exactly where she was wasn't difficult. However, the sight of that crowd and her standing among them only made me more agitated. It would be easy to recognize her—I did at first glance.I was the only one who could, because not until she stepped up did anyone know that she was there. And her justification was that she couldn't just stand by and watch them talk about me that way. Now she had me truly confused.On one hand,

Author's povIsaac studied the thoughtful expression on Alpha Marcel's face. He knew this would not be an easy decision for him, but that was why he was Alpha - so he could make the tough decisions for his pack.He meant it when he said that he was not against Alpha Marcel. His action in executing Alpha Xavier alone was enough to endear him to his heart because Xavier was into a lot of wrong dealings which he could not speak up against because he was in a lower position. He didn't intend things to turn out like this for Alpha Marcel though, but he found a way to use the situation to his advantage - that is, if he agreed to his conditions.Marcel heaved a sigh. "Give me some time to consider," he said finally. He thought that the deal was quite fair. If he were in Isaac's shoes, he wouldn't have asked for anything less, but he couldn't just agree immediately.Isaac nodded. "Very well, but don't think too long, Alpha. With time, Alpha Dean is gathering forces and the chances are wearin
