The great hall was filled with every member of our pack, excitement coating the air. Everyone was happy while I stood at the raised platform, a perfect picture of a devoted Luna waiting for my mate to return but underneath, my wolf snarled and paced… she couldn’t wait to get her revenge but the moon goddess didn’t give me a second chance to act unruly. I had an advantage - I’ve lived this life before. So, it’ll be easy for me.
The doors finally swung open and Rowan strode in with the soldiers that had gone with him to the battlefield. The hall erupted with loud cheering as everyone tried to touch them… to get a piece of our brave soldiers that had fought for three months.
My heart clenched painfully as I caught sight of my mate. He was magnificent – powerful, confident, his red hair whipped in the wind as he turned to smile and wave at the people For a moment, my resolve wavered. How could I have lost this man’s love? How in the moon did he abandon me to suffer and die?
