Auren POV

The Shaman handed me the bowl of water and 1 looked at it with uncertainty.

"Kneel," he instructed, and I obeyed.

He placed a silver pendant in my palm which was the shape of a crescent moon. "Offer your prayer," he said,

I took a slow breath and closed my eyes. As I offered my prayers, the entire pack watched me. There was a hush over the gathering.

My mind scrambled for the right words. "Moon Goddess," 1 began, my voice barely above a whisper. "I don't know if I am the right soul to break this curse, but if I am, grant me your strength" Something pulsed around me, but I think it was a trick of my imagination.

The Shaman took the bowl and poured the water over my hands. It dripped onto the ceremonial stones beneath me.

"Rise," the Shaman ordered. When 1 rose, my eyes glanced at the cround and I saw Lucien standing at the edge of the crowd with his arms crossed. his intense gaze lorked on me.

The rinual ended, and I felt a strange sensation working its way up me. Like I was exposed to the moon goddess in more than one way, Lucien came jo me and guided me out of the place with possessiveness.

The entire day passed by doing one thing or the ather. I was taken to several plices where I had to offer my pledges. Orphanages, hospitals, nurseries, series of charities and much more. I was constantly changing clothes and wearing matching jewelry Lucien was extremely busy with the wedding preparations, but I don't know how he managed to come and see me at these events. And every time I saw him watching me with the same intense gaze. It was overwhelming, but I liked the way he looked at me possessively. Like I belonged to him. Even if that was temporary.
