HIS MOONLIGHT LUNAUpdated at Nov 29, 2023, 11:41
"Alpha John, do you take Luna Lydia as your cherished Luna, to stand by her side in times of trouble, war, and death?"I gazed at him as he smiled and moved closer to me."Yes, I do. I will always protect her and keep her by my side, now and forever."I observed him, searching for any hint of truth in his words. However, his eyes betrayed nothing but deceit and malevolence."Luna Lydia, do you choose Alpha John to be your cherished Alpha in times of troubles, war, and death?"I glanced at John, then at my mother, whose smile urged me on. I didn't want this marriage. I couldn't marry John."I..." I struggled to find my voice, feeling the weight of the words on my tongue. If I said yes, I would be bound to him for the rest of my life.Lost in thought, I desperately tried to formulate a response that wouldn't haunt me forever."Lydia," my mother's voice broke through, and I turned to her as she stared at me with lifeless eyes, warning me not to dare.Gazing at John and the expectant faces around me, something within me compelled me to act. Without thinking, I pushed his hands away and spoke."I cannot," I declared, leaving everyone in shock.I swiftly turned and fled from the hall. I couldn't marry John; I simply couldn't.I turn to look at my mom, her face now filled with anger. I realize that disobeying her was a mistake, but what about my own happiness? What about my own needs?"I apologize, Mom," I whispered, my gaze fixed upon her. "I simply cannot marry John. I know deep down that I will never find true happiness with him."I shifted my attention to John, his expression a mixture of shock and confusion, as he reached out to hold my trembling hands. However, I instinctively retreated, creating distance between us.Transforming into my wolf form, I heard my mom commanding the guards to pursue me. I refused to marry John, even if it meant starting a new life in another pack. I didn't care what lay ahead.
