Chapter 264 THE VOW RENEWAL LAS POW SONIAS The Bloodmoon estate was alive with preparations , the air humming with quiet anticipation .
Lanterns lined the courtyard , their warm light flickering in the evening breeze .
The scem of pine and fresh earth mingled with the soft murmur of voices as pack members worked together to transtorm the space for the ceremony .
From the balcony of my chamber .
I watched it all unfold , my heart swelling with a mixture of pride and trepidation .
The renewal of our vows wasnt just a celebration of our bond , it was a promise to the pack , a symbol of unity in a world that often felt fractured Ramons voice pulled me from my thoughts , Its beautiful , isnt it ? I tumed to see him standing in the doorway , his broad trame silhouetted against the warm glow of the hall behind him .
His dark eyes , always so steady , met mine with a softness that melted the tension in my chest .
It is , I said quietly .
But its more than that .
Its everything He stepped closer , his hand brushing against my arm before trailing down to intertwine with mine .
Weve been through so much .
Sonia , he said .
his voice low and steady .
I want tonight to remind everyone , including us , of what were fighting for His words sank deep , their weight setting over my heart .
I thought of the battles wed fought , the losses wed endured , and the fragile peace we were trying to hold onto .
I dont need reminding , 1 murmured , leaning into him .
Its always been you , Ramon .
Even when I hated you .
Even when I fought against everything you stood for .
A faint smile tugged at his lips .
And now ? חוני my head to meet his gaze fully .
Now , Id fight for you .
For us .
For this pack .
Every time .
The ceremony was set to begin at moonrise , and as the hours slipped away , I found myself surrounded by familiar faces , Wolf , Ivy , Blane , and a handful of pack members who had become more family than followers .
My brothers had already departed to their respective paths , but their absence didnt feel like a loss .
It felt like a promise , a reminder that we were all connected , no matter the distance .
Ivy adjusted the delicate silver circlet in my hair , her touch gentle but firm .
There , she said , stepping back to admire her work .
You look every bit the Luna you are .
I glanced at my reflection in the mirror , the simple white gown flowing around me like a second skin .
The circlet gleamed softly , a symbol of my place beside Ramon .
Do you think its too much ? Ivy rolled her eyes .
Sonia , youve faced down rogues , an army , and a war .
I think you u can handle wearing a circlet for one night .
I laughed , the sound easing some of the tension in my chest .
You always know what to say Its a gift , she teased , but her expression softened .
You deserve this , Sonia .
