Ellie POV


    I stared at my phone, the title of the article Rae had sent to the filling the screen.


    "Is the Silver Fang Luna the Goddess''s Chosen Messenger?


    It had only been two days since Nn''s test at the altar. While all of the attention had been on him at the time, rumors had started spreading about me in the aftermath.


    “Rae, this is ridiculous," I grumbled into the phone. "How did this even start?"


    "One of the lunas who was at that meeting has a pretty big following on social media. She talked about the argument you had with Rowan and then what happened with the silver light at the altar. It doesn''t take much for people to start some crazy conspiracy theory," she exined, sounding amused.


    "Well... I guess at least that''s good publicity for Nn," I said reluctantly.


    "What do you mean?"


    "People know that the goddess blessed him. That''ll be good for his campaign," I pointed out.


    "Oh, sure," Rae said dismissively. "But that''s not what everyone is talking about."


    "What does this even mean, the goddess''s messenger?” I asked, scrolling through the article without reall reading it.


    "That you get messages from the goddess, obviously. People think that your near- death experience awaken some sixth sense or something," Rae said with augh.

    Was that a vision from the goddess? Or just a mixed-up memory?


    "Ellie, are you there?"


    "Yeah, sorry. Just thinking."


    A knock sounded at the door. "Ellie?"


    Nn''s voice.


    "I have to go, Rae," I say before hanging up. “Come in," I said finally. get it
