From Broken Bond to Unyielding Vengeance: A Luna’s Rise Novel Cover

From Broken Bond to Unyielding Vengeance: A Luna’s Rise

Callen’s driver, Langston, dropped him off late that night, his usually composed demeanor replaced by a slight unease. As a Delta, Langston had always been discreet, but tonight, his eyes flickered with something unspoken. “Luna,” he began, addressing me with the respect my title demanded, “Alpha Callen had quite a bit to drink while standing in for me. I’d appreciate it if you could look after him.” Beside him stood Sophie, Callen’s newly promoted Beta—or, as I’d come to learn, Gamma. She was draped in Callen’s custom-tailored jacket, her eyes bold and unflinching as she met my gaze. The audacity was almost admirable, if it weren’t so insulting. “Luna,” she said, her voice sweet but laced with a challenge, “Alpha Callen can get a bit clingy and throws minor tantrums when he’s drunk. Please don’t hold it against him.” Callen leaned heavily against her, his broad frame unsteady, the faint scent of alcohol and something floral—Sophie’s perfume—clinging to him. The lipstick stain on his white shirt was faint but unmistakable, a mark that screamed of carelessness and disrespect. Suddenly, it hit me.

Chapter 2

Callen looked up at me, his hand instinctively reaching out. “Luna, my head’s pounding…”

I stepped back, and he nearly stumbled, his balance faltering. Sophie, ever quick, stepped forward and caught him. She shot me a disapproving look, her tone laced with thinly veiled insolence. “Luna, you live in luxury, spending freely, and enjoy the privileges of being his mate. How can you not understand the Alpha’s burdens? Would you have this life without him? I truly feel for him.”

I stared at her, my expression cold and unreadable. She took a hesitant step back, still clutching Callen’s arm. “Sophie, isn’t it? On what authority do you feel entitled to pity my mate?”

Her cheeks flushed, and she faltered, her words catching in her throat. I turned to Otis, my trusted Delta, who had been standing at a respectful distance. “Otis, the Alpha has overindulged tonight. Fetch some cold water to sober him up.”

Without hesitation, Otis moved forward, his presence calm and commanding. He gently pried Callen away from Sophie’s grasp, his touch firm but respectful. A servant appeared with a basin of cold water, and Otis poured it over Callen’s head and face. Sophie let out a small shriek, but Callen’s composure slowly returned. He staggered, trying to steady himself, his gaze fixed on me with a mix of anxiety and desperation.

“Luna, please, let me explain,” he said, his voice shaky.

He took a step closer but stopped, mindful of the water dripping from his hair and clothes. “Emma, I didn’t do anything to betray our bond.”

I laughed, the sound sharp and cutting. “Didn’t do anything? Or simply didn’t get the chance?”

Sophie, ever the opportunist, wedged herself between us, her face flushed and tears streaming down her cheeks. Her voice trembled as she spoke. “Alpha, tonight when the client pressured me to drink, you promised me a promotion tomorrow. Do you need to seek your mate’s approval first?”

Callen’s expression turned icy, his Alpha aura flaring momentarily. Sophie’s tears fell like shattered pearls, and she sank to her knees, her voice breaking. “Alpha, I’m sorry. I know I’ve overstepped. But I just want to prove myself in this pack.”

Callen hesitated, and I could see the conflict in his eyes. He was likely remembering his own struggles, his rise to power from nothing. As I expected, he reached out and patted her head gently, his tone softening. “This is a minor matter. I’ll handle it. Go home, and I’ll arrange your promotion tomorrow.”

Sophie smiled through her tears, her gaze flickering to me with a hint of defiance as she rose and headed toward the door. I called out to her, my voice calm but laced with authority. “Sophie, isn’t it? Let me offer you some advice. The Alpha’s white shirt can only be stained by my lipstick or the blood of his enemies. Choose your next steps wisely.”

On what should have been my eight-year anniversary with Felix Jones, the heir to the Silver Moon Pack Alpha, he humiliated me in front of the entire pack. Overwhelmed by alcohol and distress, I stumbled into the wrong room at the pack’s central hall during the gathering. The next day, when he heard I was planning to resign as his assistant, he laughed and hung up on me, assuming it was just a whim and that I’d come crawling back in a few days.

Thinking my heart was broken beyond repair, my friend Abigail, an Omega like me, took me out to a local pub to drown my sorrows. My cheeks were flushed from the alcohol as I held onto a stranger, sobbing out my remorse: “I honestly didn’t mean it that night.” “I only acted that way because I was drunk. Please, forgive me,” I begged. “Saints and angels, I’ve run so far they surely won’t find me, right?” The room went quiet all of a sudden, except for Abigail, who dared to nudge me. Through tear-filled eyes, I looked up, and there was the familiar face from that night—Ronan Moore, a Beta from the Crimson Fang Pack. “So, Miss Rivera, are you not planning to take responsibility for your actions?” he asked, his voice low and firm, his Alpha aura pressing down on me even though he wasn’t my Alpha.

The crystal chandelier cast dancing shadows across the mahogany table as I sat with my hands folded neatly in my lap. The visiting dignitaries from the Northern Ridge Pack had arrived an hour ago, their Alpha's booming laugh echoing through the grand dining hall of the Silver Claw Pack House. I kept my eyes lowered, focusing on the intricate pattern of the tablecloth rather than the conversation flowing around me. My fingers traced the outline of my slightly swollen belly beneath the loose folds of my silk dress. Three months pregnant, and still Greyson insisted I hide it. "It's bad luck to announce a pregnancy before the fourth month," he'd said coldly. "The pack has superstitions to uphold." I took a shallow breath, feeling Luna stir restlessly within me. My wolf had been growing more agitated lately, sensing my discomfort in this suffocating environment. "The Crescent Moon Pack was never truly unified," Alpha Donovan's deep voice cut through the silence. "Their so-called alliance was a farce.
