Fake Vow, True Luna #Chapter 16: The Third Member
I stood in front of Alvin’s house and looked up at it with wide eyes.It was mostly dark inside, but I could see one light on. I couldn’t help but wonder if he was home now.When we were kids, Alvin was always the calm voice of reason when Nathan and I had our fights. Nathan and I were always more outgoing, but Alvin was quiet and reserved, and was often able to help Nathan and I reconcile our arguments because of that.Right now, I was still furious with Nathan for the things that he said and the way that he was so reluctant to help me with my dad’s investigation.Maybe, I thought to myself, my old friend Alvin would be around to talk to just like old times. I did miss him terribly.With a nervous sigh, I slowly walked up the front path to the door. Things had been so hectic since I returned that I didn’t have time to talk to Alvin. Did he even know that I was back? Why didn’t he show up at Nathan’s wedding?I knocked on the door and waited, wondering what I would say to him with exc
Fake Vow, True Luna #Chapter 17: Police Confession
I didn’t see Nathan at home for two days.He spent most of his waking hours busy with Alpha tasks, and when he was home, he was sleeping in his bedroom. It seemed that he wasn’t planning on taking back what he said about my dad, and I wasn’t going to get any help with my investigation.I didn’t want to bother making a scene anymore. Nathan already achieved his goal of using me to ruin his wedding. All that was left now for him to deal with was his father’s anger, but it clearly didn’t matter to Nathan because his father’s anger would only be directed at me anyway.But I wouldn’t give up the villa that my aunt left me. It was the one thing that I had left to me by my loved ones, and I was going to fight to keep it in my name.I hated to say it, but I didn’t trust Nathan to do the right thing. What if he found someone else down the road and decided to fight me over the villa again, claiming his purchase of it as having more of a legal standing over my aunt leaving me the deed?The only
Fake Vow, True Luna #Chapter 18: Keeping Secrets
“Olivia?” Nathan furrowed his brow and sat up abruptly, looking both confused and awkward. “What are you doing?”I quickly moved my head away from Nathan, feeling embarrassed that I had just been leaning over him and looking at his long eyelashes.“Um… The officer at the police station wanted me to give this to you,” I said, picking up the bag of black tea and handing it to him as I secretly hoped that he wouldn’t notice my red cheeks. “It smells good. You should drink some now, since you’re clearly tired.”Nathan gave me a puzzled look. “What were you doing at the station?” he asked.I shrugged. “I just wanted to inquire about the issue with the house, but it seems like you’re already on the case. Although, while I was there, the officer mentioned my dad…”Suddenly, Nathan sighed. “Look Olivia,” he said, “I can’t help you with the case about your dad. I’m sorry, but I just can’t. The information is too sensitive, and we could get in trouble if my dad or one of the elders found out th
Fake Vow, True Luna #Chapter 19: The Truth About My Wolf
My dad and I were evicted from the pack when I was just fifteen.Most kids shifted for the first time at age sixteen, so when I left with my dad, neither Nathan nor I had ever shifted yet. On my sixteenth birthday, however, like clockwork, I finally shifted.When I shifted into a wolf with golden fur, though, my dad’s eyes widened.“Olivia, promise me you won’t shift in public,” he said. He made me promise, but I didn’t ever get the chance to find out exactly why. I had a feeling that my wolf might have been special somehow, though.But I didn’t tell Nathan this. Not yet, at least. If I did eventually shift again and my wolf wasn’t anything special, I didn’t want to let anyone down — especially not Nathan.“You shifted before, right?” Nathan asked.I nodded. “A few times,” I replied quietly. “But when my dad died, I think my wolf went into hiding. She’s been dormant ever since.”Nathan’s face fell slightly. “Oh… And you don’t feel your wolf’s presence at all?”I shook my head, then fu
Fake Vow, True Luna #Chapter 20: The Unknown Sister
This strange girl seemed familiar…I must have seen her on Nathan’s wedding day, I thought to myself. It was odd, though. I had never met this girl before and Nathan hadn’t mentioned her since I came back. He didn’t have any sisters, either.“Wait here,” Nathan said to me. “I’m going to get my mom so we can find a dress for you for the hunt.”Suddenly, the strange girl grabbed Nathan’s arm and shook her head. I swore I saw her shoot me another disdainful glance, but Nathan didn’t seem to notice.“Mom and dad won’t meet the spy’s daughter,” she said. “They’re both furious.”Nathan let out a sigh and frowned.“Um… I’m Olivia, by the way,” I said, trying to be polite although this girl made me uncomfortable already. “I don’t think we’ve met.”“Oh! Right!” Nathan said, slapping his forehead. “Olivia, this is my adopted sister, Jenifer.”I took in the girl’s appearance. Similarly to Layla, Jenifer was slender and pale, and looked rather frail. However, whereas Layla’s demure appearance mad
Fake Vow, True Luna #Chapter 21: Lace and Champagne
Something was a bit uncomfortable about the way that Jenifer looked at me when she poked her head in through the open door. Her smile was warm and affectionate when she looked at Nathan, but when her eyes slid over to me, it felt as though her face stiffened and went coldMaybe she’s just protective, I thought to myself. Nathan was basically her brother, after all.“It’s time to go,” she repeated, looking back at Nathan. “Hurry up. Mom and dad are waiting.”“Right.” Nathan nodded, the blush on his cheeks from looking at me fading away. He cleared his throat and turned to look at me one last time, and his face went red again. “I’ll be waiting for you downstairs if you need to finish up here.”I nodded. “I won’t be long,” I replied. I watched as Nathan scurried off through the door, leaving Jenifer and me alone. I shot her a warm smile, then turned to the mirror to finish fixing my hair. “Thank you for letting me borrow your dress, by the way.”Jenifer shrugged. “I don’t wear it. You ca
Fake Vow, True Luna #Chapter 22: Make It Believable
The girls in the crowd were staring daggers at me while Nathan wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled me close. I felt my face turn beet red, and all I could do was stare down at the stage beneath my feet and wait for this attention to be over.Colin finished his small speech, and then announced Nathan.“My son, the Alpha of our pack, will now announce the beginning of the hunt.”Nathan, with his arm still around me, led me across the stage to the center. He stopped in the middle and looked out over the crowd, holding his champagne glass up with a smile.And then, with the booming voice of a true Alpha, Nathan announced that the hunt would begin.“Thank you all for coming to this year’s Full Moon Day celebration,” he said, his voice ringing out clear and handsomely across the crowd. “May the guardian spirits watch over our hunt and help us catch a good feast!”The crowd clapped and cheered. Nathan sipped his champagne, ending the toast. I sipped my sparkling juice and tried not to
Fake Vow, True Luna #Chapter 23: Fur Coat
When I looked down at myself to find that my breasts were completely exposed by the fall, I felt my heart sink.I shrieked and covered myself with my arms while the onlookers snickered nastily. Angela stood a little ways away, over by a tree, and I swore that I saw her slipping her phone back into her pocket as though she snuck a picture…Suddenly, Nathan sprung forward and put himself between me and the onlookers. I felt his fur press up against me as he wrapped himself around me. My heart started to pound as I felt the sensation of his silky fur against my skin. The heat coming off of his body made me blush, and all I could do was stare down at the ground nervously.“See?” I heard Angela whisper. “I told you that dress was too tight on her.”I heard another girl, one of Angela’s friends, giggle. “Looks like she’s putting on that baby weight awfully fast…”Nathan whipped around at them and growled angrily. The girls yelped nervously and scattered, along with the rest of the onlookers
