Chapter 252: _Confessions Under The Moonlight
After Elder Davina’s funeral ceremony, I stood at the balcony of my bedroom, staring down at the pack grounds below.
I was just officially crowned the Luna Queen of North America before thousands of people watching in the pack and possibly billions around the world.
Yet... It didn’t feel as uplifting as I had expected.
Why would it? The announcement was made during the funeral procession of a woman who had been one of the only people to see past my witch bloodline.
To look beyond that and treat my mate bond with Kaelos as a blessing rather than a curse. She even accepted me when my hybrid nature was brought to light.
"And now she’s gone..." I whispered, placing my hands on the railing of the balcony as I slowly brought my gaze to the moon above.
It seemed to shine with a brighter silver light than usual tonight and was in its full phase. It was as if Elder Davina was up there, watching and shining her light one last time.
Outside the gates of the mansion, some pack members still loitered around, paying their last respects to Elder Davina’s casket, which was still in flames but had now almost burned completely to ash.
"Ma’am Odessa..." A familiar voice called from behind me, forcing me to tear my gaze from the scene downstairs.
I slowly turned around only to see Caroline walking toward me with her hands clasped in front of her stomach. My room was dark and Kaelos was busy discussing things with Layla, Marcellus and the elders of the pack in his office.
I’ve been all alone...
"Hey, Car..." I whispered, smiling weakly. "Come on, girl. Could you stop with the ’ma’am’? Pretty sure I’m not even older than you."
