Luna's Awakening
Bright light burst out from me, clear and so bright it hurt the eyes, pushing away the bad stuff that almost took over me.
Ryder stepped back, covering his eyes from the strong light. When he took his arm down, the proud and happy look on his face was gone, and he looked completely shocked.
“That can't be,” he whispered. “No one has ever resisted it before.”
I rose to my feet, my body once again my own. The Moon Goddess's power flowed through me, stronger than ever before. “I am Aurora,” I declared, my voice ringing with power. “Luna of my Pack, daughter of the Moon Goddess. And you, Ryder, have no power over me.”
