THE SPARE LUNAUpdated at Oct 29, 2026, 02:52
I was the spare daughter. The one they trained, used, and never loved. When my parents needed a sacrifice to save our pack from Blackridge’s debt, they offered me instead of my precious younger sister Aria. I was forced into a mating bond with Deucalion, the cold First Son, under the full moon.He knew I wasn’t the woman he wanted. During the ceremony he barely looked at me. Later, in the private room, he took me with cold, deliberate hunger. His mouth claimed mine hard. His hands shoved the gown from my shoulders and closed over my breasts, thumbs dragging across my nipples until they ached. Two thick fingers pushed inside me without warning, curling deep, stretching me open while the wet sound filled the quiet room. When he finally sank into me, inch by thick inch, the stretch burned. He claimed me with steady, powerful strokes, hips slamming deep, one hand bruising my hip as he chased his own release. His breath was hot against my ear when he growled, “You are not her.” My body still came for him, tight, shaking, unwanted, while the incomplete mark burned into my neck.I endured months of isolation, his distance, and Aria’s open hatred. She never stopped trying to destroy what little place I had. One violent fight was the final break. I left in the middle of the night with nothing… not knowing his child already grew inside me.Years later I raised our son alone in another pack. He was strong, too strong. When he took down four warriors by himself, Blackridge came hunting believing that only their blood could pull off such feats. Deucalion stood in front of me again, demanding the boy he never knew existed. Aria had failed to give them any heir and now lay sick from the strain of their bloodline.He wanted his son. I wanted my freedom. The old mark still burned between us.I will not hand over my child easily. And if Deucalion thinks he can walk back into my life after everything he did… he will learn that the spare he discarded is no longer weak.Some debts can only be paid in blood, power… and the kind of heat that never truly died between us.
