MY life had always been planned for me

MY life had always been planned for me. From the moment I was born, my parents drilled into me how important I would be someday. "I was destined to be a leader," they said. "People would look up to me."

The Luna.

They wanted me to become Gabriel's Luna.

I loved Gabriel. Well, I should say I love Gabriel. My feelings for him hadn't changed over the past few years.

For so many years, I tried to make him notice me. I tried to make him love me as I loved him.

Even when we dated, I tried as hard as I could. I made myself available all of the time. I overworked myself. I helped everyone — became the person they needed me to be.

It was exhausting but I tried. I pushed and pushed and pushed.

Even after my parents died, when they had no idea if I failed or not, I tried.

They'd be disappointed in me if I didn't. After all, they claimed I was destined to be a Luna.

Gabriel never saw me though. He never really wanted me. Every time I stared into his hypnotic grey eyes; I didn't see the love I was desperate to receive. To him, I wasn't his Luna and I never would be.

It didn't stop me. I was persistent. Determined. Motivated.

The pack saw me as the closest thing to a Luna. And for a while, that was enough.
