Orphan to Luna: The Alpha's Substitute Bride chapter 17
Chapter 17Mara’s povI moaned gently as the rays of the sun stationed on my face, “Is it morning already?'' I moaned loudly, before a small yawn followed, rubbing the sleep out of my eyes. It did little as I was still asleep, the rays that seeped through the blinds were making me blind, so I clumsily reached for it and pulled it shut.Now I focused my eyes on my surroundings. I was still in the large bedroom, everything was still decorated so nicely, and even the bed I was in remained untouched. The sheets only had marks because I rolled around in them, and not because of any sensual activity.‘He didn't show…’ Gretel was the first to greet me, her voice was tainted with heavy disappointment and I could feel her anger too. I was getting angry at myself.What sort of man didn't show up to his wedding night? After ruining my life, he thinks he could just do whatever he likes. I scoffed, angry that I was even a fool to believe that something would happen. Did I want it to happen? H

Chapter 18Mara’s pov“Azure, let her go.'' I stopped in my tracks when I heard his voice.My head whipped to where it came from, and I sighted him, fresh from the shower with water dripping around his toned form. He had some shorts on and a towel around his shoulders, he had just woken up.I glared at him with every ounce of hate I had in my soul, and I left. I left without saying a word to him, but my glare said everything that needed to be said. I wouldn't want to be in a house where no one treated me any better than the outside. Although I was Luna, I wasn't feeling it one bit.I got to my workplace and Chelsea grabbed me by the hand, “I don't know how you are going to talk to your boss, but you better have a good explanation. And don't tell your boss that you will get married to the alpha, or you’ll be out faster than yesterday's trash.” she gave me a sturdy pat on my shoulder, and she turned around just as she was leaving “And you still owe me.” she reminded me.Chelsea was

Chapter 19Rhys’s pov“Rogues are attacking!”One of our men had rushed in and informed us of the situation, immediately Rowen and I sprung into action as we were both determined to defend our pack. It was deep into the night, as I had taken some of our men out into the site of the attack. When we got here, there were bodies everywhere.Anger rushed into my blood and I wanted to kill anyone who did this. Some of them were my men while most were the rogues, the sad part remained that I had lost men. It was then that Grandpa’s words rang into my ears, we truly didn't have many people like before and to see young men die was a pain to me. If we didn't increase our population, it was only going to be a few years before we would be at a massive disadvantage.I huffed when I bent down to look at the young man just about my age, his eyes were wide open, but he was lifeless, “I found tracks, we should check it out.” Rowen came into view and saw me looking at the fallen warrior, “we need

Chapter 20Rhys’s pov“Rhys?” his eyes were clouded with fear, and he began to use the last of his strength to move away.“So it is you.” my hand still holding my side, I stepped on his wounded body, making him cry in pain, choking out more blood, “take him up, he has a lot to tell, and he can't afford to die.'' I gave the command and my men took hold of him instantly.Rowen looked at me without saying a word, just waited for me to lead the way, and I did. We reached the house, Mom's , was the first one to see us, her face turned white when she saw me wounded, and with a snap.She summoned the best healers and told them to take medicine to my room, she was going to treat the men herself.“You need to be more careful, Rhys, what if anything happened to you?” She applied ointment on the wound, and it stung a lot, but I didn't move. She noticed I was way quieter than usual, “she is asleep.'' She answered my unasked question and I let out a deep sigh.Nothing else was said, but she wra

Chapter 21Mara’s povMy eyes were wide in distraught, his anger was burning into my skin, so I took them back, my hands. Everyone watched us, knowing that the drama was just about to begin. Gretel wanted to tear him to pieces, but last time I checked, Sam was still stronger than me.“Run back to your alpha Mara! But I swear you will suffer, you think you can be happy with someone like Rhys. You have made the biggest mistake of your life!”“What is your problem? Just leave me alone! You have no right to touch me or say such things to me! Try it again, and you'll be sorry!” he was right, marrying Rhys was the biggest mistake of my life. My eyes were full of tears, my so-called husband couldn't even make it to our mating night, all my dreams and hopes vanished and Gretel hurt.I grabbed the handle of the door and left the orphanage, there was nothing more to be said to him, as he would use any opportunity he had to hurt me. Being the alpha’s wife came with opposition.It was already

Chapter 22Mara’s pov‘Be alert.’ Gretel warned me, I could smell someone, and gosh they smelled horrible, like they hadn't showered in days, and they were coated in all manner of vile things. I continued down the path, and then I heard the footsteps again, I walked faster, clutching my bag to myself and I noticed the footsteps doubled.No, tripled. And they were moving just as fast as I was. Fear began to show as the hairs on my body stood up, and my eyes shrank.“Who is there?” I turned back, hoping I would get an answer, but the only thing I got was the whisper of the wind and a pungent scent, “I think they are rogues…'' I said to Gretel, and she growled in response.‘Be ready.’ She told me, if there was any form of oppression, I would shift anytime, and she would jump to action.At this point, I was jogging. I wanted to get away from this place as soon as possible, but the footsteps never stopped, and they followed me even more. Then I heard a chuckle, it was vile and dripped w

Chapter 23Rhys’s POV My heart ached for her, as she cried in my hands I wanted nothing else than to take away her pains and make her feel instantly better.I wondered what had triggered all of these. The rogues had played a very big part but I believed something else had made her more sad and teary as she was.‘Let it go and focus on getting her home’ Black chipped in. ‘I just want to know how those rogues got in this time. I thought we had all of them?’ I asked him as I readjusted her position in my arms.‘You have to be more conscious now. They are lurking about and also confirm what your black mouth Beta knows about this’ Black responded drowsily.‘What does he have to do with this?’ I said again just as Mara stirred in my hands.She was quiet in my arms and I wanted to comfort her, the attack had really shaken her. I patted my hands repeatedly on her hair as I walked to my car.Mara was quiet as my hands ran down her hair. I wondered what had made her this shaken. Her work clo

Chapter 24Mara’s POVI ran into the room and slammed the door behind me. ‘Stupid stupid stupid’ I said hitting my hands against my head as I rested my weight on the slammed door.I heard him walk away and I breathed a deep sigh of relief.‘Your husband just kissed you and you graciously slammed the door against his head. I bet he’s regretting his actions.’ Gretel teased as my insides whooshed.‘Gretel. Don’t be unreasonable, I had not seen that coming.’ I will have a nice shower and sleep because I have excess adrenaline from this evening.’ I told her as I raced into the bathroom and stripped off every piece of clothing on my body.I lay in the warm bath as more hot water poured into the tub. My head was numb and devoid of every thought. I managed to keep the thoughts at bay as I washed up and changed back into my pajamas.‘Now, you have more time to think about how foolish you had been today’ Gretel said as I got into bed.‘You are so supportive Gretel!’ I grounded irritably as he
