She pulled the blanket around her shoulders and held the letter closer to the dying fire and kept reading. I don't know how old you are right now. I don't know what you remember or what was taken from you. I don't know if you found your way to the wolves or if they found you first. But I know you found this letter. Which means you're exactly where you're supposed to be. Your name, your real name is Saoirse. It means freedom in the old language. I called you Selene in the human world because it was safer. Because Moon-touched names carry power and power attracts attention and I needed you to survive long enough to become what you are.

Allena raised her hand to speak. "Yes, Miss Harvey." Harvey was my grandmother's last name as well. My mom was half Irish.

she said. “That’s a pretty and unusual name. What does it mean?” he asked. “Um… it’s an Irish name. It means freedom,” she said. “I see. That’s cute. What are you doing here all alone?” he asked. “I was just admiring the flowers. I can leave if that’s a problem?” Saoirse offered. She was starting to feel uneasy. Something about him didn’t feel right. Alex was scary, but he never made her this uncomfortable. “Don’t be silly. It’s not a problem,” Anthony said. He moved closer to her. Saoirse felt more nervous and shifted uncomfortably. “I like you, Saoirse. You are a real beauty.”

Saoirse. My breath caught. “What does that mean?” He quickly covered it, but I tugged his shirt open again. “Sa…or…see,” I murmured, trying to sound it out. “Sur-shah,” he corrected sharply, annoyance flaring. “I’ve heard the name—it’s Irish.

Even your brother—”

“No, it’s so hard to find an Irish name with an honest meaning.” I wanted our baby to have an Irish name that didn’t sound awful. One that had a strong meaning but would also fit her personality. I was sure my Mother had named me Saraid because of the prophecy she was told, stated that I would overthrow the Queen and take my place as the rightful heir. My name means princess. It was her way of rubbing it in that even on the throne I would still in some ways, always be just a princess. “I think that we should wait a week or so before we name her, so we can get a feel for her personality.
