Chapter 15: The luna
274 Words
The Great Hall was silent.
Every wolf in the pack was watching us. Watching the mark on my neck.
Darius didn’t let go of my hand. Not once.
Alpha Kade stepped forward. “By the bond, and by choice, I present to you… Luna Lyra of Silvermoon.”
My heart pounded.
Murmurs. Some shocked. Some approving. Mira was crying in the front row.
Darius squeezed my hand. “Say something.”
I stepped forward. Alone.
“I was an Omega,” I said. My voice didn’t shake. “I was rejected. I was broken.”
I touched the mark. “He hurt me. He left me. And I never thought I’d forgive him.”
Darius’s pain hit me through the bond. Sharp.
“But he came back,” I said. “He bled for me. He chose me. And I chose him.”
I looked at him. “I am not Luna because of a bite. I am Luna because I stand here. Whole.”
The hall erupted. Howls. Applause.
Kade smiled. “Then it’s done.”
Later, on the balcony, Darius pulled me close.
“You did it,” he said. “You came back to me.”
“I never left,” I whispered. “Not really.”
He kissed me. Soft. Sure. No fear this time.
Through the bond I felt it: Love. Forgiveness. Home.
My wolf wasn’t pacing anymore.
She was resting. At his side. Where she belonged.
THE END... for now.
