Second Chance Of The Luna

Chapter one- pack judgement

Anabelle Pov

“This lady is unprepared, according to our pack tradition, a lady cannot rule the Kam kingdom,”

My Uncle, Aiden Raven spoke calmly, the kind of calmness that carried poison beneath it.

Standing before the council and elders, with his hands folded behind his back, like he already owned the throne.

“A woman who cannot control her emotions, nor her father's legacy, will bring an end to the pack as our Luna,” Raven's voice echoed.

Elders gathered round the table, their faces carrying the tension of the hall.

“That's true! We can't be ruled by a young lady,” one elder said with his face carved with tension.

“Our pack would be destroyed if such a thing were to happen.”

I knelt down in the middle of the hall, breathing heavily, my knee feeling the cold of the carved rock. This council has always been the place my late parents gathered, laughed and made decisions. But now it's filled with betrayal and tension.

Everyone in the hall held doubt… doubt carved by Raven.

“A Luna who can't control her emotions would bring danger to our people,” Uncle Raven declared.

My stomach tightened and my throat was dry.

A danger?!

What does that mean?

How would I be a danger to a kingdom I have always adored?

I wanted to scream at him, but I knew how manipulative Uncle Raven was. I cursed myself for breathing in the same atmosphere he was.

“I am Anabelle Aiden, the only daughter of late Alpha Aiden. No one tried questioning my dad's decisions or actions. But why now?”

“Anabelle no one is questioning your late dad's decisions, but your uncle Raven's opinion is valid, as the beta of Kam kingdom.”

“You’re a young lady, being Luna is a terrible decision. You have no control over your emotions nor your father's legacy!” the elders roared out.

“Anabelle you're more focused on your artistic skill, that's what you have control over.”

“Just focus on that. You are just a woman!” Raven said, his tongue out in disdain.

I looked at him in detest, my throat tightened, my wolf form was spiked by his constant manipulations. It's either the elders have been threatened or manipulated by his word.

“My talent can never affect my responsibilities of being the Luna of this pack, I can control my emotions just like my uncle.”

“Anabelle, don't question us further, it's tradition. In our tradition, we can never be ruled by only a Luna; we need an
