I Am The Honored One Novels & Stories

"A person who had every reason to become smaller than she was and chose instead to become exactly what she was. Every day. In every room. Regardless of who was watching or what it cost." The ceremony ground was completely still. "That is what is being honored today," Elder Maren said. "Not just a completed bond. A person fulfilled. And a pack fortunate enough to have found its Luna." She looked at Aria and Caden. "Begin," she said simply.

Irene The chamber is silent. Twelve Elders, twelve lifetimes of power and judgment, all staring at me — waiting for me to declare what I am. A curse. A blessing. A miracle. A mistake. The words hang in the air like a blade suspended over my head. My throat is dry, but something inside me — a stillness that isn’t fear — rises to meet the moment. I lift my chin and let my voice carry. “I am nothing but a woman,” I say softly, but my words echo across the marble hall. “Bound by fate to four beautiful men who carry both light and shadow in them.”

She was beautiful and glowing. I stepped forward and stretched my hands towards her, and she took it with a smile. Together we turned, facing the pack. “Today, we gather not just to celebrate, but to honor the strength, courage and resilience of the woman who stands beside me. “She has faced challenges that would have broken many, yet she stands here now, free and strong. “It is with great pride and joy that I present to you, your Luna.” My voice rang out clear and strong as I addressed my people.

“Focus on dad’s and Aidan’s scent they always seem to calm us.” “You’re right, we got this!” Once we arrived at the top of the stairs that lead to the ballroom, just beyond the doors, I could hear the trumpets and the announcer announcing our or should I say my arrival. “Ladies and gentlemen, alphas and elders, it is my great honor to announce the arrival, and welcome our queen, the protector of the balance of the supernatural world; Artemis Valencia, the ultimate luna.”

he says, making her smile as a single tear rolsl slowly down her cheek. (My beautiful girl, it is my honor. May you and my son be blessed by our goddess for eternity.) 💖✨💖✨💖✨💖✨💖✨💖✨💖✨

I felt humiliated and just wanted to get out of that place, to which I didn't belong. I stopped in front of the lathe, bowed with perfection and grace, as I had been trained to do since I was born. "I salute His Imperial Majesty, Emperor Donovan Arventia. May blessings and Eonora fall upon his imperial majesty," I said, managing to keep my voice loud and firm.

Only once they’re all in place do I suck in a breath. “Thank you for coming, friends, family, and members of Emerald Moon.” I begin as all eyes come to rest on me. “Today is both a sad and glorious day where those who fought hard are celebrated as they take their place with the goddess.” “It’s all because of you!” Someone yells; their pain is evident. “If you were a better leader, then...”

Goddess, give me strength. “Thank you Eclipse Pack, I am honored and humbled to be your Luna. Truth be told, I never thought I would ever find myself in this position, and now you’re stuck with me! I’d like to take a moment to thank a group of people who I feel hasn’t been thanked enough.

It was like an illusion. “I’m sorry for staring,” I stopped myself from blinking. “It's a lot to take it. You are Selene, the Moon Goddess. The one who blessed the humans with the wolf.” "Many call it a curse," she smiled. "My father always told me how blessed one has to be to be called by you. Forgive me for not giving you my respects." I got up from the chair. “There is no need for you to bend the knee.” She laughed melodically, "You give me far too much credit, child."

I feel invincible. Then the realization slams into me like a wave, and the grin slips right off my face. No. I stumble back, my heart racing for an entirely different reason now. This kind of power can only mean one thing. I rub my face with both hands, trying to scrub away the thought, but it’s lodged there now. I’m her One. I close my eyes, groaning. Of all the women in Haebradia, it has to be her? I let out a humorless laugh, pacing back and forth in the garden.
