Substitute Luna

"Genova is missing!" Sally yells so hard that she doesn't need a gong and a trumpet to make this announcement. These three words and audible gasps of shock from the workers outside put us all in panic. "How did you know?" Damon lets go of her, and she goes crashing on the floor due to her ill-judged movement. "She dumped the wedding dress inside a bathtub full of water, and I've spent over an hour searching everywhere for her," My stomach squeezes and tightens into knots, as I try to properly align the words I just heard. "Can it be that she eloped with an old lover?"  "Did she possibly develop a tad of cold feet before the wedding?" "Aside from smoking which of course is a bad habit, Genova is a nice girl. Alpha Cahill might be abusive because of his alleged monstrous nature," "Fucking worse timing of the century, isn't it?" Several uncertain questions are flying in the air, until my mother, Meredith Rose, slams her fist against the table in front of everyone, startling us all and gaining silence almost immediately  "Enough!" She bellows, her veins bulging out along her neck in exasperation. "We've got to figure out a way out of this, Or Alpha Cahill will shred us into pieces. The loans we are owing, your father's uncleared debts after his death. My fucking god, I can't believe Genova will do this to us," mom facepalms in distress, tapping her feet against the floor in frustration. "Let's go find her, it might be she's homesick already and wants some time alone," Archibald suggests, while he's being stopped by Sally with a raise of the hand. "Few of the workers formed a search party and one came with the news of someone seeing a tomboy who bears a striking resemblance to Genova, running away with a man." Sally points this out, and all three of my brothers exchange knowing looks, with their lips thinning. "Jack Snyder," they chorus and I gasp. I cannot believe she's ran away with that psycho ex of hers. Who in their right state of mind will ditch her own wedding with Alpha Cahill and run away with a man who's lost all sanity? My mom who has been silent all these while suddenly shivers-jolts, her eyes sparkling with certainty, then she points at me, the youngest Brewer sibling.  "You, Mathilda...you will have to take the place of your sister to marry Alpha Cahill." *** Mathilda's life changes when her elder sister runs away on her wedding day and she's being persuaded by her mother and brothers to protect them from an impending wicked fate until she reluctantly agrees to marry Alpha Cahill. She's left with no alternative but to adhere to not bring shame to the Alpha and put the lives of her family members at stake. Will she be able to cope with Alpha Cahill who doesn't regard her in any aspect, but is enraged and wouldn't let her go while he's in search of her elder sister? She's however, forced to reject her own mate after becoming the Luna of the Blackwood pack, and what she doesn't expect is to develop feelings for Alpha Cahill in the process of protecting her family. But she has no idea a lot is in store for her as Luna of the Blackwood pack.  The dreadful Luna Ritual if Cahill touches her and she gets pregnant, Cahill's half-brother who seems to be infatuated with her.  And having to face the jealous female population of the Blackwood and other neighboring packs. Puzzling circumstances are shoved into the picture when Cahill's actual, self-entitled Luna-wannabe mate comes out from nowhere and makes her presence known, perplexing him and hurting Mathilda. And just as Mathilda is contemplating if she and Cahill will be able to overcome everything and everyone, Genova Brewer returns. This leaves Mathilda wondering if Cahill will be with her or choose her sister, his first love over her. She's only a substitute for Luna, or isn't she?

what it is

Mathilda

I am being awoken by the sound of the loud crashing of things, and for a moment it feels like an earthquake is going on.

Pausing for a split moment, I narrow my eyes in their sockets because it seems as though I am in another world.

Screams, sounds of bottles being smashed against a wall, and curses.

What possibly can be happening at the Nolan's mansion? Is someone getting tortured over something?

I stumble out of bed because something strange is actually going on in the Nolan's mansion. What could that possibly be?

Fear is rapidly creeping through every of my insides. The urge to run far away from this place is overwhelming. I swallow down the huge lump stuck within my throat.

After I had taken the painkillers, I drifted into a deep sleep and wouldn't have woken up if it weren't for the noise. The time reads 1:23 AM on the huge clock hung on the wall. Which means I have slept for over seven hours. Something which is the cause of my brain getting stressed from overthinking.

This is my first night of being married, and my first night at Alpha Cahill's mansion, yet it seems like I am in a lion's den.

The noises don't stop and aren't even close to stopping because the people carrying out such destruction are still too enraged.

Barefooted, I walk out of my room, down to the hallway, with not the slightest idea of where I am headed to. But tracing the direction with the continuous sound of things getting destroyed.

There's no one around, possibly all the servants have retired to their quarters.

Can it be an intruder breaking in? Surely the person cannot get past the powerful-looking guards outside.

Or is it Brandon? My heart takes a leap so high that I nearly faint from fear merged together with the anticipation of seeing him.

But it's not him. I can feel it within my wolf that the person out there isn't Brandon. Because he'd come looking for me if he broke in, rather than damaging things.

I should be asleep by now, but I cannot. Whatever it may be, has completely erased sleep from my eyes.

My heart is still thudding painfully in my chest from fear of what I might see. There aren't any demons or evil witches in here right? The mansion isn't haunted by the ghosts of innocent souls Alpha Cahill has taken or is it?

I find my way into the large living room, where I get stunned in return when I see an enraged Alpha Cahill clad in all black, throwing objects in the air.

He seems so furious like he wouldn't hesitate to kill anyone if seen. The walls have bloodied stains of punches, but Cahill isn't bleeding. It's obvious he's punched the walls until his fists bled, but the bruises he sustained are completely healed.

My mouth parts in horror, because this is the last thing I expect. Not even a single soul is out here, except me and him. And he hasn't even seen me yet.

I can feel my heart pounding with full force like it wants to burst right out from my chest.

A gasp of horror leaves my mouth when he immediately shifts into his wolf, takes a high leap towards the chandelier, and pulls it down, shattering it into pieces.

I cannot believe this is actually happening, it feels like a movie. Because I have never seen a man this upset.

I have three brothers whom I have seen mad, but not to this extent. Can it be that Alpha Cahill is bipolar? He indeed possesses a monstrous nature, and now I can see that Genova did herself well by running away.

Cahill's wolf is and black mighty, and its eyes of it are completely red, giving out that he's a true Alpha.

A true Alpha who can kill me within seconds if he sees me standing here, watching him as invests his anger into causing damage.

I am terrified because his wolf looks so angry, completely furious.

And there's not one person in here. Not even Simone, his Beta.

My legs are shivering violently out of fear and nervousness. Because Alpha Cahill seems completely dangerous right now, and I don't know why he seems this mad.

It seems like I have a bit of ill-stinking luck because I have to experience the worst scenes.

Cahill's wolf lets out a loud growl which can awaken a drunken man from a deep sleep.

This makes goosebumps arise on my every single pore, and I try to hide, but it's already too late.

Alpha Cahill's wolf has already seen me, and before I can run away, he takes fast gallops towards me and pins me against the wall, with his fours on the wall, arresting me.

I am trembling so hard that I don't even bother to hide it. He can choose to kill me right now and no one can do anything about it. My family will only weep and then move on with their lives a few weeks later.

My mouth parts and sharp breaths flow out because my husband's wolf is glaring so hard at me with his fangs visible like I am an enemy.

There are broken vases and several pieces of broken liquor bottles, shattered paintings, destroyed lamps, some chairs, and cushions are ripped into pieces, giving out that it's the wolf of Alpha Cahill who has done such damage.

"Let me go..." I implore, the slight tremble in my voice giving out how shaken I am, "please," I add with a fearful gulp that I am sure I can taste bile.

Alpha Cahill's wolf turns his head sideways, and I can see something like concern flash through his eyes and disappear as fast as it arrived.

My bottom lip trembles as I bite down on it, as I fearfully wait for his next action.

He surprises me by shifting back into his human form, with hands still on the wall, leaving me completely trapped.
