Lunar Lake
“Perhaps we should hear what Luna Kathryn intends for her land. It is hers by blood, after all. If she has a plan, let her speak it.”
I met her eyes sharp, assessing. A test.
I drew a breath. “My land will become a sanctuary. For our people, for our young, for any who need protection. I will open it when the pack is ready, when our borders are secure, when our enemies are gone, when my mate and I agree the time is right. Not before.”
Tyler’s fingers squeezed mine hard enough to ground me, gentle enough to say I’m here. The room went still. Grant didn’t smirk this time. Derek looked like he might choke on his own spit. Good.
