When the kitchen finally began to empty for the night, | found Anya standing near the windows. Her nhad
been called too earlier-she’d made it to the next round, just like I'd known she would after all that practice.
“Can you believe it?” she said, grinning atas | cto stand beside her. “We both made it! This is amazing!”
“About that,” | said carefully. “I'm actually planning to drop out tonight.”
Anya'’s face fell. “What? But why? You were incredible today. You scored higher than most.”
“I'm just here for the job. | never wanted to join the Luna Trial.” | touched her arm gently. “But you don’t need
me, anyway. You're good enough to do this on your own.”

Without you to teach me...”
“You can do it,” | said firmly. “You want this more than anyone else here, and that counts for something. Besides,

or the chance to be Alexander's Luna, Anya wanted to help her family. It was a noble cause.
“Alright. Ill help you.”
Her smile was radiant. “Thank you. You're the best friend I've had in years.’

Well. Not since I'd died.
After saying goodbye to Anya, | slipped out of the house through the back door and picked a few flowers from
the garden, then walked across the grounds and toward the small cemetery where Ashclaw pack buried their
dead.
I'd never visited my own grave before. The thought had seemed too morbid and strange. But tonight, something
pulledtoward the freshly turned earth where they'd laid my old body to rest.
The headstone was simple but elegant: “Here lies Luna Ella Solace. Beloved Luna and Mother.”
