Refuse To Be One of His Thirty Luna Candidates novel Chapter 1

Before my mating ceremony, I found out my Alpha Damon had thirty Luna candidates. He spent a month with each one, scoring them. Only the highest scorer would become his Luna.

And me? His Head Beta, his lover of six years, the woman who gave him everything?

I lost to a soft, submissive Omega.

The door to my office slammed open.

“Elysia!” A sharp voice cut through the silence.

I looked up. The Omega, Lydia, strutted in on her high heels.

Her cloying perfume was mixed with another scent I knew all too well.

Damon’s. The smell of sex.

“You didn’t knock,” I said coldly.

She ignored me, walking straight to my desk and slamming a small box down.

“The Alpha asked me to bring this to you.” Her voice was poisonously sweet, dripping with smug satisfaction. “He said you’ve been working so hard lately.”

I stared at the box, not moving.

“Aren’t you going to open it?” Lydia leaned forward, letting her scent—a mix of her and Damon—wash over me. “It’s a very pretty necklace. Of course, not as expensive as the diamond one he gave me last night.”

My fingers drummed on the desk.

“Last night?” I kept my voice neutral, but the word was a razor blade on my tongue.

“That’s right.” Her smile widened. “We spent another wonderful night together. Elysia, he said he wanted to fuck me to death.”

Her words were a blade, carving vile images into my mind. I wanted to scream, to claw the pictures from my head.

But I couldn’t.

Damon and I met at the shifter academy.

His Alpha presence was still raw then, untamed. During a training session, I suddenly felt it—the bond between us.

Fated Mates.

As I watched him, as I grew closer to him, we fell in love.

I followed him back to his pack, helped him secure his Alpha title, and became his Head Beta.

For six whole years, we shared his bed countless times.

Everyone assumed I was the pack’s Luna, that we just needed the official ceremony.

I thought so, too.

But for six years, every time I asked about the ceremony, he put me off. The time wasn't right, he’d say.

He would pull me into his arms, his lips finding mine, his whispers a soothing balm.

“I’m not the strongest Alpha yet,” he’d murmur. “I can’t risk losing you. But the day our pack is in the top three, I will give you the grandest ceremony this continent has ever seen. I’ll tell everyone you are my one and only Luna.”

I believed him.

So I worked even harder, expanding our pack’s territory and businesses.
