The Alpha's Rejected Second Chance

Chapter 11: Luna Crowned

The courtyard fell silent. 25,000 wolves waiting for my answer. Liam kneeling, Kael in his arms, both bleeding but looking at me like I was their whole world.

Three years ago, he rejected me in this same courtyard. Called me weak, wolfless.

Now he knelt in blood for me.

My heart pounded. Moon Goddess mark burning silver on my wrist.

I took a deep breath.

"Three years ago, you said I was not worthy to be your Luna," I said, voice shaking but loud, my Goddess power carrying it. "You left me pregnant, alone, in the rain. I had to give birth to Kael alone in a rogue hut. No medicine. No pack."

Liam's head dropped lower, shame. Tears in his gold eyes. "I know. I was a fool, Elena. A blind fool."

"But..." I continued, and touched Kael's golden hair, "You came when we needed you. You took silver bullet for me. For our son. An Alpha King who takes bullet for Luna... maybe he learned what love is."

Kael giggled, "Mama say yes! Mama say yes!"

I laughed, tears falling.

I looked at Liam. "Stand up, Alpha King."

He stood, holding Kael.

I raised my silver-marked hand and placed it on his chest, where bullet wound still bleeding. Silver light flooded.

"I, Elena Shaw, Blessed Luna, daughter of Moon Goddess, accept you, Liam Stone, Alpha King of Blackthorn, as my mate, my husband, my equal. Not because you are King, but because you are father to my son and you bled for us."

My mark burned and transferred — a silver crown mark appeared on Liam's chest, over his heart. His second mark. Fated Luna mark.

Liam roared, not in pain but in power. His eyes flashed pure gold. His Alpha aura exploded, twice as strong now — because Blessed Luna marked him.

BOOM! The 600 stone wolves howled together, stone cracking, turning from grey to pure white — Blessed Army awakened.

The Moon itself broke through clouds in daylight, silver beam shining only on us three.

High Priestess who had been hiding ran forward with Luna Crown — silver crown with moonstone, not worn for 100 years.

"Blessed Luna Crowned! Alpha King Marked! By Moon Goddess!"

She placed crown on my head.

All 25,000 wolves howled, "LUNA! LUNA! LUNA!"

Kael clapped, "Mama Queen! Mama Queen!"

Liam pulled me into kiss, bloody, desperate, in front of everyone. Our marks connected — silver and gold light wrapped us and Kael.

But as we kissed, my Blessed vision came again — sudden, painful.

I saw...

My mother! My mother who died when I was baby — she was not dead. She was locked in a crystal cave, pregnant, screaming my name. And a man standing over her, with same gold eyes as Liam... but older... his father? The former Alpha King who everyone said died?

Vision ended. I gasped, falling.

Liam caught me. "Elena! What did you see?"

I whispered, pale, "My mother... alive... and your father... he is not dead. And he has... my mother?"

Liam froze. "My father died 15 years ago..."

Kael suddenly looked at cave direction behind castle and pointed, eyes gold, "Grandma crying there!"

#Vote# Should Elena and Liam go to Crystal Cave NOW to save her mother, even though it's dangerous and on Coronation night?
