The Secret Oracle: His Defiant Luna

About this story

Synopsis

For seven years, I played the perfect Luna to the Graystone Pack, shouldering the responsibilities while my fated mate, Barth, treated me like a mere duty. Everything shattered the night he abruptly blocked our mind-link. When I rushed to his private club, I found him intimately holding Elna, his adopted human sister, looking like lovers caught in the act. Instead of explaining, Barth summoned the entire pack to the central square the next day. To protect his precious sister from rumors, he publicly declared me jealous and paranoid. "She is no longer fit to be the Luna of Graystone." He prepared to officially reject me while the crowd sneered and Elna fake-cried in his arms. His family even ransacked my room and smashed the moonstone amulet I had left behind, calling it a cheap trinket from a wolfless bitch. They thought I would fall to my knees and beg. They thought I was just a weak, discarded placeholder. They didn't know I was an Oracle, and that the "trinket" they destroyed was the only ward keeping a deadly curse from swallowing their entire territory. Looking at the man the Moon Goddess had supposedly made for me, I felt nothing but pity. Before he could finish his sentence, I cut him off. "I, Anya Kent, hereby sever our bond. I reject you as my mate." Leaving them to face their impending doom, I turned my back on the Graystone Pack to finally live for myself.
