I had been watching Amy closely for weeks. Every small discovery she made about herself seemed to pull her closer to a truth she didn’t yet understand. She thought I was only keeping her here out of control, but that wasn’t it. I was protecting her from the council, from her enemies, and from the power she carried without realizing how much it could possibly be a danger to her.

The day I saw her reading the old texts in her room thinking no one saw her, my chest tightened. She traced the Moonstone crest on one of the pages, her eyes filled with the same curiosity her mother once had.

She didn’t know it yet, but that symbol was not just her lineage, it was her burden. She really had no idea that her life was beyond just going to the office at Carts Holdings. There was a deeper version of her life that she brought to life the day she lost it and she glowed.

Her birth was never ordinary. She wasn’t born like the rest of us. She was chosen by the mood goddess. The Moonstone prophecy wasn’t written as a fairytale. It was a warning, one the council had buried to prevent panic. If they discovered who she truly was before she learned to control her strength, they would control her.

I sat by my desk that evening, staring at the council’s letter again. They had agreed to give Amy a seat which was a rare offer, especially for someone as young as she was. They said it was to “guide her,” but I knew better. They wanted to study her, to measure the limits of what she could do. Still, it was the only way to keep her close. If she accepted, they’d train her, teach her their rules, and I could make sure they didn’t use her against herself.

I had spent years keeping secrets and some were to protect Daniel, others to keep this family standing. But the one about Amy had begun long before she arrived at the Carter’s estate as Daniel’s mate. Her mother once came to me, terrified. She said the mon had chosen her unborn child.

Amy wasn’t a mistake in this family. She was the key to something the old bloodlines feared. That was why the council had insisted on her marriage to Daniel. They said it was to strengthen the Carters, but it was really to keep her bound.

I stood by the window, watching her cross the courtyard with Cole following a few steps behind and Elias entered without knocking, as usual. “Still worrying about her?” he asked.

“She hasn’t given an answer,” I replied.

He smirked. “Maybe that’s her answer.”

“She can’t refuse,” I said sharply. “If she turns it down, they’ll start asking questions. Questions we can’t afford to answer.”

Elias folded his arms. “You’re risking everything for her. For what?”

“Because if we lose control of this, the family falls with her. Just in case you have forgotten, she’s your Luna now” I said, meeting his eyes.

He frowned. “You actually believe she’s the one from that old prophecy, don’t you?“.

“I don’t believe in prophecy,” I said. “I believe in what I see. And that kind of strength doesn’t come from luck.”

“She’s dangerous.” His tone was clipped, “The council won’t wait forever. If she refuses their offer-”

“She won’t refuse,” I said firmly. “I’ll make sure of it.”

He scoffed. “You think she’ll trust you?”

“She doesn’t have to trust me,” I said, finally turning to face him. “She only needs to believe that I’m offering her safety.”

Elias frowned. “You’re playing a dangerous game, Aunt

“I’ve been playing it since before you were born,” I said quietly.

Elias leaned against the doorframe. “Then you’d better Hope she listens to you, because if she doesn’t, the council won’t hesitate. You know what they do to threats”

He left after that, muttering something under his breath that I didn’t catch. I turned back to the window and watched Amy disappear from view.

She hadn’t realized yet that everything around her – the protection was part of a web I’d built to shield her. But I couldn’t shield her forever. The prophecy spoke of two paths: one leading to rebirth, the other to ruin. The chosen one would either restore balance or bring destruction upon every pack.

Instead of sitting and over thinking, I sent for her to have a talk to know what is stopping her from giving a

response.

A knock on my door came a moment later. My assistant stepped in, “She’s here. She’s waiting for you.”

“Send her in,” I said, straightening the papers on my desk.

When Amy entered, she smiled politely, the way she always did.

“Mrs. Carter,” she said, “you wanted to see me?”

I nodded. “Yes. Sit, dear. There’s something important we need to discuss.”

“Amy,” I said, “have you given thought to the council’s offer?”

She hesitated. “I have.”

“And?”

“I’m not sure yet,” she said quietly. “I want to finish my studies first. I want to understand myself before I sit in front of people who already doubt me. There’s the ffice, there’s Daniel, there’s school too. I’m not sure I’m strong enough to add the cuncil to the list.”

I nodded slowly. “That’s fair. But understand that if you wait too long, others will make decisions for you. The council isn’t patient.”

“I know,” she said. “But I need to be ready. I don’t want to walk into something blind.”
