Standing before the Crescent Moon Pack council, I fixed Alexander with an icy stare—the man who once dismissed me as a child unworthy of the Luna title. My voice cut through the silence:
'No one in this hall can take my place.'
Whispers erupted instantly. I knew reclaiming my birthright after ten years wouldn't be easy, but I was ready.
'What do you think you're doing?'hissed Ruby, the self-proclaimed future Luna, her teeth clenched.
'Claiming what the Moon Goddess herself ordained,'I countered, never breaking Alexander's gaze. 'Isn't that right, Alexander?'
His eyes burned with primal hunger. Ten years had forged the trembling girl he'd rejected into a warrior. I felt our mate bond surge as he fought for control, the air crackling between us.
'Alexander, say something!'Ruby demanded.
He rose slowly, every eye following him—including my parents', shining with pride. Before he could speak, I seized destiny:
'I, Daría Sullivan, daughter of Agustín and Alina Sullivan, claim you, Alexander Ivanov, as my fated mate. By blood and divine right, I declare myself the true Luna of this pack.'
The weight of my words forced half the council to bow their heads.
