When the Luna walked awayChapter 1
Eight months pregnant, I risked my life and unborn child to carry the Moon-flower through the freezing night, believing it would save my mate.
The note had screamed urgency [Deliver it. Now, or he dies.]
But when I reached the clearing, there was no rescue, only three rogues…their eyes gleaming with cruel malice and lust as they scanned my body greedily.
"Poor omega, walked right into our trap. Did you really think your alpha was in danger? "one laughed.
It was then, alarms flared inside my head in panic.
I turned to flee when rough hands pinned me down, sending white searing pain through my swollen belly.
"Let me go! "I screamed. "My mate will kill you-"
The name full of trust died on my lips instantly. As if a sharp lightning had struck my soul, I saw a familiar figure through the trees.
Victoria…my half-sister, naked, straddling a man as lewd moans filled the surroundings.
And tangled in her arms was Alpha Zyan.
My mate who went ‘missing in action’ right before our wedding.
I laid in pain, completely frozen as he kissed her, the child in my belly completely still as if he understood the silence better than I did.
"Alpha…"Victoria purred, voice trembling with feigned innocence as her satisfied eyes met my wide devastated ones across the dark canopy of trees.
"What about sister Lianna? She is your mate."
"Mate? " Zyan laughed like the word disgusted him. "I don’t mate beneath me. That farce of our ‘love’ ended the moment she failed to shift. She is an embarrassment to the Blood Moon Pack."
The moonflower was crushed at that instant.
Every memory of Zyan-our childhood love, this sacred groove where he took my virginity and made me pregnant before marriage, the trials I went through to win his love came crashing down all at once.
"Just because she warmed my bed doesn’t make her a Luna, at most she has to accept the title of my mistress. "
So this is what I was to him.
Not his mate.
Not his wife.
Not even a woman worth protecting.
Just a body that once obeyed.
A rogue’s mocking laughter filled my ears. "A luna? It looks like she is just a slut discarded by the Blood Moon Alpha."
I withered, my body thrashing as they licked my neck lewdly, crushing my belly under their weight.
"Tonight we will make you miscarry your baby and then leave our seed in your belly, when you get pregnant, come to us brothers for protection."
