Before | could retort, his mouth had trailed up and captured my lips in a sweet kiss. | melted into him, my hands
coming up to tangle in his hair. When we parted, both slightly out of breath, he crouched down, parting my robe
to expose my swollen belly. He pressed a tender kiss to my skin, his hand caressing the curve. | sipped my coffee
as | watched him.
“Good morning to you too, little one,” he whispered, his lips brushing against my belly. “Are you excited for your
party today?”
| felt tears prick at the corners of my eyes. How had we gone from cold, distant strangers to this? It seemed
almost miraculous. Too good to be true.
“Con,” Noah said, standing up and taking my hand. “Since apparently you can’t keep your nose out of the
party preparations.”
He ledoutside, where the gardens were awash in warm morning sunlight. It was going to be a hot one today,

“You know,” | said as we meandered through the pebbled pathway, coffee in hand, “with everything that’s been
going on, | haven't really thought about baby names.”
Noah glanced at me. “Surely you must have a few ideas.”
| shrugged. “I don’t know. It feels like this week is the first week I’ve really had a chance to think about being a
mom, and not just trying to figure out how to get through a divorce or what to do about my cousin taking over
my pack.”
Noah stiffened a bit at that, his hand tightening around mine. Those divorce papers burning in the fireplace was
still a fresh image in both of our minds. But he didn’t comment on it.
| turned to him then. “I'm still worried about Silvermoon, for what it's worth,” | admitted. “It's my hpack,
and I'd hate to see it fall to ruin under Alvin's command...”
Noah's expression turned serious. He was quiet for a moment, considering.
“I've been thinking about that, too,” he finally said, leadingto a nearby stone bench. We sat down, the white
and green tendrils of a wisteria tree swaying over our heads. “I think there might be a way for Nightcrest to
absorb Silvermoon.”
| blinked, surprised. “Absorb it? But... they're both such large territories. How would that even work?”
“It would be a massive undertaking, without a doubt,” he agreed. “Definitely not something | would have
considered before on my own.”
He turned tothen. “But with your recent strides as Luna, | think we could handle it together. Maybe you could
talk to your family, see if they'd be open to the idea, and we can cup with a transition plan together.”
| chewed the inside of my cheek, considering. The idea was intriguing. It would allowto protect Silvermoon
without having to leave Noah and Nightcrest. It sounded like a lot of work, but it was the type of work I'd grown
to love lately.
“I'll think about it,” | said, resting a hand on my swollen belly.

Noah smiled, pullingclose and pressing a kiss to my temple. “For now, let's focus on the party tonight All |
want to think about is how beautiful you're going to look in that pretty pink dress you bought the other
day.”
| felt a blush creep up my cheeks. The dress in question was a soft, flowing number that hugged my baby bump
perfectly. I'd fallen in love with it instantly when we’d spotted it in a boutique window earlier that week. The way
Noah had looked atwhen | tried it on... well, let's just say we barely made it hbefore clothes started
coming off.
Smiling at the memory, | rose and broke away from him, casting him a cheeky grin over my shoulder.
“I'll start getting ready, then.”
