Story: Moonlight Betrayal

Daxton was obviously very pleased with my suggestions. He smiled and said, “That’s right. You’re finally learning to behave.” Daxton and I arrived at the ceremony dressed in opulent attire on the day of the Supermoon Festival. The entire pack exclaimed with delight as they commemorated the grand event.
I wore the gown I was most pleased with as a performance was about to begin.
Daxton looked at me and said, “It’s time for you to keep your promises.”
“What promise?” I acted foolishly, despite knowing he wanted me to apologise to Alina.
Daxton glared angrily at me, “What’s the meaning of this? You said you’d apologise to Alina at the festival; don’t be coy with me.”
The crowd forced me into silence. The werewolves who supported me gave us dark looks.
Some people approached, hoping to calm things down, but Daxton simply shoved them away.
Alina played the innocent, tugging at Daxton’s sleeves as tears welled up in her eyes. “I’m sorry. This is not my fault. I shouldn’t be here. Please don’t pin the blame on Luna. Once I’m gone, no one will bother you two again.”
“The only reason I let you come here is to get Alina her apology, so don’t stir up any trouble here.”
Daxton had just finished speaking when a louder, more commanding voice echoed from within the group. “You’re the one stirring trouble.”
All the werewolves turned to see an Alpha walking past them. His kingly presence caused the pack to clear a path for him directly to the altar.
There was just silence.
I smiled as I looked at Daxton’s shocked expression. “Did you forget that you were never my only fated mate? Orion is also my fated mate.”
Daxton’s face flushed with rage as he heard what I had to say. He swallowed hard and said, “What’s the meaning of this, Vera? How can there be a second fated mate? You’re clearly delusional. I should lock you up for the rest of your life so you can forget about ever stepping outside.”
Daxton tried to take my hand, but I shook it off. “No. I’m very clear-headed right now. I have never been as clear- headed as I am right now.”
I approached Orion and took his hand.
When I realised Orion was also my fated mate, I became very confused. That was because each person should only have one fated mate.
Only after I found and spoke with the priestess did I discover that a select few twins had the same fated mate and would share it.
Orion was Daxton’s twin younger brother, but he outperformed Daxton in every way.
When everyone thought Orion would be the next Alpha, he lost the fight and was exiled by Daxton, making him a Rogue.
But by now, Orion had formed his own pack and established himself as a powerful Alpha. He was no longer an immature little boy, only displaying incredible strength.
We raised our hands above our heads and announced to the entire group. “I hereby sever my bond with Daxton and become Orion’s Luna.”
My words stunned everyone. The werewolves murmured among themselves, but none of them spoke out against it.
After so many years, many could argue Daxton was a terrible Alpha. If I hadn’t cleaned up his mess, others would have taken over the pack long ago.
