Just as I was starting to move past them, one of the guards stepped in my way again, holding his arm out to the side to physically block me. “Ma’am, I’m going to need you to step away from the entrance.”

“No, I-”

The second guard was already reaching for his radio. They were going to call for backup. They really thought I was some kind of crazy person trying to crash the coronation.

“You don’t understand-”

“Ma’am, please come with us.” The first guard grabbed my arm and began to guide me away.

“Get your hands off me!” I yanked my arm away. “I’m Luna Ella of Ashclaw, and this is my mate’s
