“You ran ten miles to be at my coronation. You destroyed a priceless heirloom and probably scared the shit out of
a lot of people, all because you wanted to be there for me.” | couldn't help but smile. “That's the nicest thing
anyone has ever done for me.”
Ella blinked owlishly. “Alexander, | wandered into your coronation barefoot.”
“Which is completely insane,” | pointed out, “and pretty memorable, if you ask me.”
That got a small laugh out of her. She shook her head and looked away. “You're just trying to flatter me.”
“No, seriously. Everyone's going to be talking about this for years. The Luna who ran through the forest to make
it to her mate’s coronation. You just gave them the best story they've had in decades.”
Ella wiped her eyes, smearing her mascara even more. “You think so?”
“I know so.” | stood up and held out my hand. “Con.
“Where are we going?”
“We're starting over.” | pulled her to her feet. “Wait here.”
| left her in the bathroom and went to find one of the event coordinators. It took sconvincing and a few

“What is it?”
“Open it and see.”
Ella unzipped the bag and her mouth fell open. Inside was a midnight blue dress, simpler than the
ceremonial gown but elegant. The fabric was soft and flowing-the best | could figure out right now

“Try it on. I'll wait outside.”
Five minutes later, Ella emerged from the bathroom, and I nearly forgot how to breathe. The dress fit her

“Perfect.”
We walked back into the cathedral together, and this twhen people turned to look, it was with curiosity
rather than shock. A few people even smiled and nodded approvingly.
The High Priest was waiting patiently at the altar, crown still in hand. Gabriel looked like he wanted to murder
me, but he stepped back into position without comment.

back, my heart felt soft and warm in a way it hadn’t before. Alexander had cthrough forin

That had to mean something, right?
Alexander pulled my seat out for me, and | smiled, sinking gratefully into my chair. But something caught my
eye, peeking out from beneath my plate-a small piece of paper.
Curious, | unfolded it and found a note in Lilith’s handwriting.
