RedNovelChapter 115 DANE I stood between Aurora and the oncoming rogues.
They were the smysterious women wed met in the woods.
Power still burned throughlike fire.
I wasnt exactly surprised to be one of the people chosen by the ceremony.
It felt like wed been in over our heads with gods and dark forces for a while now.
But that didnt mean I had expected it, or that I wasnt humbled by the goddesss choice.
Stand down, I growled to my pack.
They obeyed, parting so the women could cnearer.
The women stopped at the edge of the ceremonial circle that had been painted onto the grass.
There, they bowed.
Greetings, she said, To the goddesss chosen king and queen.
King? No.
I had enough on my plate as Alpha of Blue Ridge.
I squared my shoulders and folded my arms across my chest.
There was nothing to say about the king comment, so I ignored it.
Are you finally going to tell us your nand who you are? Their leader smiled.
Im Camila, and we are the shield maidens of the goddess.
Guardians of the queen.
Chapter 115 2/4 Confusion was written across Auroras face, and she darted a glance to where Evelyn stood up on the deck, watching us all silently.
But there were two women chosen.
Are we both- ? Camiles eyes flashed to Evelyn.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNo, she said to Aurora.
Youre the queen if queen is even the right word for it.
I can feel it in the magic that binds us together.
She is the First Shield.
Our leader.
And your most powerful protector.
Aurora made a squawking sound that sounded like she was trying to laugh around a suddenly dry throat.
Evelyn ... my protector? I raised a brow.
Thats not going to work.
Camilas dark gaze snapped to me.
Its not for you to say.
Then her eyes dropped to the ground, as if she was remembering something, and her voice went quiet.
Its not for any of us to decide whether or not were called, or what were called to do.
Trust me.
We should have this conversation inside, Aurora said.
I couldnt blthem for thinking she was a queen.
She held her chin high, and though her eyes were still red from all the crying she had done in the last few days, her face didnt give any of her thoughts or feelings away.
I agreed and dismissed the pack.
I could feel their curiosity.
Their confusion.
I was also curious and confused.
There was new magic in my body.
I felt stronger, sharper.
But I had no idea what I could do.
3/4 Chapter 115 I had no idea why these people would calla king.
We went into a conference room: me.
Aurora.
Evelyn, Camila, and one other of the female rogues who claimed to be the shield maidens of the moon goddess This is getting ridiculous, Aurora said as soon as the doors.
closed.
Queen? Really? Camila shrugged.
She looked like she was about thirty.
She also had the look of a woman who didnt have tfor nonsense.
How about the destined female leader who will unite wolves and their allies against threats you cant even imagine and lead them through a war like theyve never known? I think queen is a little easier to say, even if it feels tic.
Aurora sighed, took a seat, and pinched the bridge of her nose between her thumb and forefinger. Everything lately is tic.
She dropped her hand and gestured to chairs around the table.
Sit.
Please .
It seems like you all know things we dont .
Id like to know what you know.
Everyone sat.
I took the seat on Auroras right.
Evelyn sat halfway down the table from us.
Camila and her companion sat across from her.
Camila began to speak.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLike I said, were the shield maidens of the moon goddess.
We all heard the call, we all abandoned our packs.
It was ... hard.
Sof us left lovers.
Seven left children.
At first, I thought Chapter 115 I was crazy.
Then we started finding each other.
So, youre warriors? I asked.
4/4 Camila shook her head.
All of us can fight, but only sof us are dedicated warriors.
Sare healers, some, I think are meant to be diplomats and advisors. A few, like me, can hear the voice of the goddess.
Sometimes we see visions.
Evelyn tilted her head.
Like the goddess put together a court of handmaidens ready made for her chosen queen? Yes, said Camile. And you are her first choice.
You are supposed to be the queens greatest ally.
Her fiercest protector.
The goddess has said that there will ca twhen the fates of alhthe wolves in the world wilt will be in her queens hands... and the queens life will be in yours. Evelyn and Aurora stared at each other.
Then Evelyn sat back in her chair.
Unhappily, she said, Theres one problem with that.
I hate this woman.
She took everything from me.
Id watch her die in a heartbeat.
