Chapter 880\u00a0<\/p>\n
I paused, letting my gaze sweep over every face.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBut I did grow up fighting for People who didn\u2019t have a volce. I gw up protecting those who couldn\u2019t protect themselves. And I didn\u2019t cheat to get here.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The power inside me shifted; it was almost as if it was listening to he and responding.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI won that competition because I earned it,\u201d I said. \u201cEvery bruise Every broken bone. Every hour of training. And if you actually see the footage instead of believing gossip, you\u2019d already now that.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
A low hum rolled through the air.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Some swallowed hard, and others stepped back without realizing they were doing it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m not perfect,\u201d I went on. \u201cI don\u2019t know everything, and I won pretend I do. But I will learn. I will listen. And I will protect this pack with everything I have. Some of you know me\u2026 I grew up with you, and you know that I\u2019m not deceitful and I never have been.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Mouths dropped, and phones were capturing pictures and videos; I could see were flashes and dropped jaws.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHoly shit\u2026 what the hell are you?\u201d Olivia asked as she stepped back, her eyes wide as she stared at me. Without waiting for a reply, she quickly turned to the shocked crowd. \u201cAnd this is another reason why Judy shouldn\u2019t be our Luna\u2026 because look at her! She\u2019s a freak. We deserve someone more deserving like Lila Blackwell!!!!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Wait\u2026 what??\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nan rushed towards me before I could even grasp what was even said; in her hands, she held a long, dark coat that I knew belonged to Gavin. Confusion swept over me, and I turned to look at Gavin, but he was no longer standing where he was, and neither were Irene and Matt.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nan draped the coat around my shoulders and turned me away from the onlooking crowd.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat\u2019s going on?\u201d I asked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou are glowing,\u201d she whispered.\u00a0<\/p>\n
I frowned.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cProbably my pregnancy,\u201d I told her, glancing at my rounded belly\u00a0<\/p>\n
She rolled her eyes and grabbed my arm, lifting it so I could see what she was talking about, and then my jaw dropped.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She was right\u2026 I was glowing like literally glowing.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOh my god,\u201d I whispered hoarsely. \u201cDid everybody see?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Suddenly, I was mortified. I already knew the answer to that question: if Nan saw\u2026 then everybody saw, and it explained the dropped jaws and the sudden need to take pictures instead of video\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cUh, yeah\u2026 just about,\u201d she said, biting her lower lip, \u201cGavin\u2019s already trying to get every video of that pulled, and he\u2019s locking down the pack so nobody can go off and spread misinformation. I put me in charge of getting you out of here.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cGetting me out of here? He wants me to run?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHe just wants you to stay low for a few minutes,\u201d she admitted as he tugged me away from the onlooking crowd.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Irene was already waiting for us further inside the packhouse, pacing back and forth.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOkay\u2026 this might be bad,\u201d she said, turning to look at me.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat?\u201d I asked, desperate for any information. \u201cWhat\u2019s going on?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cYou are trending,\u201d she said, holding up her phone for me to see. There are already articles about you glowing. Now they think\u00a0<\/p>\n

+25 Bonus\u00a0<\/p>\n
you are some magical being\u2026 or alien. They are wondering even more now if you are fit to be a luna.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
My heart cracked at her words.\u00a0<\/p>\n
This wasn\u2019t fair. Why was this suddenly happening to me?\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cJudy!\u201d I heard my name from a close distance, and when I turned I saw Selene rushing towards me with Esme right behind her. \u201cI came as soon as I saw the headlines,\u201d she said, grabbing onto my arms. \u201cI don\u2019t believe for a second that you cheated.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cDid you see the newest headline?\u201d Irene asked, holding up her phone.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Selene took her phone, and I watched her eyes scan the screen, her brows pinched together.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat does this mean?\u201d Selene asked. \u201cYou were glowing?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
I stared down at my body and saw that I was no longer glowing, and I let out a breath of relief.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt stopped,\u201d Nan said, almost just as shocked as I felt.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t understand,\u201d Selene said, shaking her head. \u201cWhat does this even mean? What\u2019s going on with my daughter??\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHer magic had been unlocked,\u201d Esme said, her eyes wide as she stepped forward. I was still getting used to the fact that she was now walking and talking.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat do you mean it\u2019s been unlocked?\u201d Selene asked, turning to face her mother-in-law.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI mean just as I said\u2026\u201d she said, her eyes fixed on me as she spoke. \u201cMagic has a mind of its own on most days. It won\u2019t tolerate a host that can\u2019t even stand on its own two feet. It\u2019ll remain locked away inside of a person until they feel they are worthy\u2026 or they feel they can mold them into someone that can be worthy.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
She paused as she stared around at the small group that surrounded me, all looking warily at one another.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIn other words\u2026 something Judy had said made the magic inside of her trust her enough to be unlocked. Her magic might not have affected her too much before\u2026 but now\u2026 it will. I hope you are ready, Judy Montague. Your life is about to get more complicated.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
