The guard's face paled. “I didn’t mean-*
“Get away from us.” | turned back to Lilith and helped her sit up slowly. “Can you move? Does anything
feel broken?”
“I'm alright, Ella. Really.” Lilith struggled to her feet with my help, wincing as she rotated her left ankle. But you
need to get inside. The ceremony-"

“Forget the ceremony.” | kept one arm around Lilith’s waist and pulled her to her feet. “We need to get you
to a doctor.”
“Ella, no.” Lilith gripped my arm. “This is Alexander's coronation. You cannot miss this.”
“I can and | will if it means making sure you're okay.” The cut on her temple was still bleeding, and | was
pretty sure she'd twisted her ankle when she fell. “You're more important than any ceremony.”
“Sweetheart, please-"
“What's all this commotion?”
| looked up to see two people approaching us-a distinguished-looking older man and an elegant woman with
perfectly styled gray hair. | recognized them immediately: Sophia’s parents.
What the hell were they doing here?

here. This woman is trying to gain entry to the ceremony, but she doesn’t have proper
identification-"
“This woman,” Alpha John said, “is Luna Ella. She's the Alpha King’s mate.”
The security guards looked stunned. “But sir, she doesn’t look-"
“I don’t care what she looks like,” Helen aid sharply. “She belongs in that cathedral with her mate. Now
step aside.”
| stared at them in confusion. Why were Sophia’s parents helping me? They had no reason to care whether |
made it to the coronation or not. If anything, | would have expected them to enjoy seeing me
humiliated like this.
“Luna Ella,” John said, turning to me. “Are you injured? Do you need medical attention?”
“I'm fine, but Lilith was hurt when the guard pushed her.”
Helen hurried over and examined Lilith’s head injuries. “It’s not serious, but you should have both looked at by a
doctor. However...” She glanced toward the cathedral doors. “The coronation won't wait.”

“I'm not leaving Lilith,” | said firmly.
“Ella, please.” Lilith squeezed my hand. “I'm fine. Go to your mate.”
“But”
“I'll take care of her,” Helen said with a smile. “You should attend the ceremony.”
| looked between Lilith and Sophia's parents, still trying to understand why they were helping me. But before |
could make sense of it, Lilith gavea gentle push toward the doors. “Go, dear. I'll be fine.”
| hesitated for another moment, but the bells had stopped, and | could hear a loud voice booming within the
cathedral, indicating that the official ceremony had begun. If | was going to do this, it had to be now.
“Fine,” | muttered, gently disentangling myself from Lilith so she could lean on Helen and John. The security
guards stepped aside without another word, and | walked through the massive wooden doors
into the cathedral.
The sight that greetedmade my steps falter.
The cathedral was packed with hundreds of people, all turned toward the altar where Alexander was standing in
full ceremonial robes. The Alpha King’s crown was being lifted above his head by the High
Priest, ready to be placed.
And every single person in the cathedral turned to look at me.
The silence was deafening. Hundreds of pairs of eyes taking in my torn, oil-stained dress. My bare feet. My
tangled hair.
At the altar, Alexander had gone completely still. The crown was frozen in the High Priest's hands as Alexander
stared atwith his mouth agape.
Without hesitation, | turned around and walked out, completely humiliated.
