well, he looked like I had said something utimately wrong. I wanted to scream at them that I am only human, and I believed I was handling these all far better than any other 'normal' human would. "That's if you don't want to; I really don't care about some stupid title." I cut myself off; I think I made it worse, and now Rollins pointed gaze was directly at me. "You are the Luna; it's an honor, and everybody in the pack has to give you that honor," he says. "I really don't care about a damn title," I say stubornly, shrugging.

“You what?” “I needed it perfectly,” he admitted, lowering his gaze. “You deserve perfection. I didn’t want a single spark to falter. Because of that name, Isla…” He looked back up at her with such intensity she forgot to breathe. “That name is the only one that matters in my world.”

I was tired, tired of bowing, bending, of letting her feel untouchable. Tonight, I would stand for myself, even if it meant the world burning around me. I let out a small hiss through my teeth, a dull smile plastered on my face as I addressed the room. “Firstly, I want to welcome and appreciate each and every one of you,” I said, my voice steady despite the storm brewing inside me. “For granting me the honor to not only witness your beautiful faces but to celebrate, as the coming heiress of this abode.”

Right on cue, fireworks erupted overhead, brilliant and loud, and the crowd slowly settled as if nothing had nearly gone very, very wrong. *** "ATTENTION PLEASE!!!" a woman's voice blared through the microphone.

And I will tell you that the greatest honor in my life has not been survival, nor education, nor even this moment of celebration. The greatest honor of my life has been to carry her name, to live as her child."

I don’t know what to expect, but it certainly isn’t him dropping down to one knee and bowing his head. “Makayla Pride, I, Thane Lucas of Io, thank you. And before the witness present and the Moon Goddess herself, I vow to serve and protect you for as long as I shall live.”

He lifted his head, eyes steady, voice quiet yet unbreakable. “You stand above all. I honor that.” Emotion crushed my chest.
