SEBASTIAN’S POVWe were packing bags, getting ready for a beach trip with the family. Thorne was bouncing in his crib like a maniac, gripping the top rail and trying but failing to climb over. Ever since he learned to walk, he thought he was invincible.Megan was in the shower, brushing her hair out, humming to herself while I prepped his bottle in the kitchen. I tested it on my wrist, too hot. I left it on the table to cool and pulled out my phone to text Roman.We’ll be down shortly. Megan's doing her ten-hour beauty routine again—I paused mid-text.The bottle… it was floating.No hands, no trick, no one near it.Just… hovering off the table like it had grown wings.“Baaabe!” I shouted.“What?” Megan came running in, towel around her hair and then she froze beside me, eyes wide.Together, we watched in stunned silence as our tiny son levitated the bottle across the room like it was nothing. It wobbled a little, then landed perfectly in his chubby hands. He plopped down in his crib

MEGAN’S POVI blinked my eyes open slowly, the soft hum of voices drifting into my ears before I could even see clearly. My body ached in ways I couldn’t explain, but it was a good ache… victorious ache.I turned my head toward the sound and felt my breath hitch.Sebastian was in the chair by the window, shirtless with our baby cradled gently against his chest. One large hand supported his tiny back, and the other stroked his head in slow, calming motions. He looked completely at peace, completely in love.And surrounding them…our parents, Roman, Lola, Jemma and Alec were all gathered, speaking in hushed, adoring tones, their eyes fixed on the little bundle in Sebastian’s arms.My heart swelled at the sight.Sebastian looked up and noticed I was awake. His face lit up instantly.“She’s awake,” he announced with that proud grin of his.Everyone turned to me, smiling and coming closer, but it was Sebastian who stood first and brought our baby over to me.“Hey, sleepyhead,” he whispered,

SEBASTIAN’S POVI was just ending a video call with a few neighboring Alphas, discussing upcoming territory negotiations, when my phone buzzed. Megan’s name lit up the screen.I answered with a smile, “Hey babe.”“It’s time,” she said breathlessly.My heart dropped.“My water just broke, AHHH!” she cried out, and that scream… it punched me straight in the chest. All the calm I’d been holding onto evaporated in an instant.“Meg?” I shot up so fast my chair tipped over behind me. “I’m coming!”I didn’t even hang up the call properly. I think one of the Alphas was mid-sentence when I tossed the phone onto the desk and bolted through the house.“Megan!” I called, bursting into our bedroom.She was standing by the edge of the bed, both hands on her belly, face twisted in pain. “Sebastian, it hurts,” she whimpered, another contraction hitting.I was at her side in seconds, catching her just as her knees buckled. “I got you, baby. I got you,” I whispered, cradling her close as she leaned int

MEGAN’S POVThe baby shower was… perfect.The backyard was transformed into a soft wonderland of white, baby blue, pink and silver. Fairy lights twinkled under the canopy, and a giant balloon arch framed the “Welcome Baby” sign. Friends, family, pack members, even a few witches and vampires we were close to had come. It was surreal, so much love in one place.Sebastian stood beside me in our matching white outfits. He looked handsome as ever, his hand constantly resting on my back or my belly like he couldn’t decide which of us he wanted to protect more. Everyone kept commenting on how good we looked and how "he was already such a dad."Lola and Jemma were buzzing around, making sure everything went smoothly. My mom and his mom kept bickering over who the baby would look like, and Alec actually cried during one of the speeches…though he blamed it on “something in his eye.”We played all the games. Guess the baby food, who knows mommy best, and the always hilarious "don't say baby" gam

SEBASTIAN’S POVDad was officially retiring soon, which meant the Alpha duties were stacking up faster than I could deal with them. Pack disputes, territory agreements, rogue sightings. It felt like my phone never stopped buzzing. I barely had time to eat, much less breathe. Still, I wouldn’t complain. It was an honor to take on the role. My father had led with strength and fairness, and I intended to do the same.Between scribbling notes from a council meeting and trying to schedule another call with the witches' liaison, I glanced at my phone and saw a text from Megan.Megan: Going baby shopping with mom. Don’t panic, it’s just blankets and cute stuff. No strollers without you 😉I chuckled, the tension in my shoulders easing for the first time all day. She went with my mom last week, and her mom apparently got very in her feelings about it. I could practically hear Megan’s exasperated sigh through the text when she told me the story. Something about “I carried you for nine months,

MEGAN’S POVBottom of FormI stood in front of the mirror, trying to wrestle my growing belly into the stretchy top I picked out for today’s Mommy & Me class. I had to admit, I was kind of excited, even if I was also slightly terrified. I’d never done anything like this before, but I figured surrounding myself with other moms might ease some of the nerves.From the bed, Sebastian was lounging with his phone in hand, tossing out baby names like it was a game show.“What about… Horatio?” he offered, grinning.I spun around, horrified. “Hell no! Unless you want our kid to get bullied from preschool straight through college.”He laughed. “Okay, okay, too fancy. What about Maverick if it’s a boy?”I raised an eyebrow. “We’re having a baby, not a motorcycle.”He pouted. “Fine. Girl name: Persephone.”I gave him a long, flat look. “Sebastian. Be serious.”“I am serious. It's classy.”I grabbed my water bottle and shook my head. “It’s a mouthful. She’d spend her whole life correcting people.”
