The Second Life of a Rejected Luna
A quiet laugh left me.
“You think I wanted the Luna position?” I looked at him, my voice calm. “I waited for you in Raven Hollow for years. At first, I wanted you to love me. Later, I only wanted you to believe me once. After that, I only wanted you to let me finish one explanation. Cassian, everything you are willing to give me now has come too late.”
Moonlight fell over the altar, and the mate bond pulled a fine thread of pain through my chest. It still reminded me that the Moon Goddess had once tied us together, but that pain could no longer make me turn back.
