From Luna to Warrior Never Again
I collapsed onto the side of the bed, the tears finally breaking free.
The next day, I went to the Elders and quickly filed the request to sever the mate bond.
When I got back to my room, I heard Lila and Damien laughing downstairs, back from a shopping trip. Lila was showing off the countless luxury items Damien had bought for her, glowing like a triumphant princess.
I hid in my room, my eyes fixed on a small glass dome on my dresser. Inside was a single, dried flower.
A First Moon Flower.
The gift Damien gave me when he first confessed his love. He said they only bloomed on the night of a full moon, rare and special, just like our love.
