Mag-log inThe next morning felt different, calmer, softer, but deep inside me there was still a trace of last night. Even though I had slept peacefully in Liam’s arms, the shadows of that meeting followed me into my dreams. Thankfully, I woke up in a much warmer atmosphere.A small whimper came from Elena’s room. I got up slowly, my body still a little stiff, but my mind much clearer than the night before. Liam was no longer beside me, and I could hear his quiet footsteps from the direction of our daughter’s room.I stood in the doorway and saw a scene that always melts my heart: Liam, still in his gray t-shirt with slightly messy hair, holding Elena and gently patting her back while humming playful, yet soft.“What did I tell you?” Liam turned and smiled when he saw me. “She woke up at five. Again.”I walked closer, watching them both. “I didn’t hear anything. I must’ve been too tired last night.”“That’s why,” Liam said, placing Elena on his shoulder, “I let you sleep. You needed it.”I sighe
I closed my eyes for a moment inside the car, letting my heartbeat settle. It felt as if a heavy weight had finally been lifted when Liam pulled me out of that meeting. But there was still something lodged deep inside, those women’s stares, their tone, the way they spoke as if Elena’s future could be judged from her gender alone.The car moved slowly through the now-quiet city streets. Shop lights were dimming, and the sound of other cars became faint. Liam still held my hand, his thumb brushing gently across the back of it. A small gesture, yet enough to help me breathe easier.“I really hated the way they talked,” I murmured at last, my voice hoarse.Liam glanced at me, his eyes soft but protective. “I know. And you don’t need to listen to nonsense like that. Do not let them make you feel less.”I gazed out the window, seeing my own tired reflection. “I just felt unappreciated. As if I wasn’t the kind of Luna they wanted.”Liam let out a deep breath. “Sienna, I didn’t choose you bec
The sky was already dark when Liam and I arrived at the mansion where the pack meeting was being held that night. The grand building stood tall, its crystal chandeliers gleaming at the entrance. Luxury cars lined the driveway.Liam opened the car door for me. “Are you ready?”I took a deep breath before answering. “Ready, but honestly, I’m more nervous here than in an operating room.”He gave a small smile. “Relax. I’m right beside you.”We walked in together. Inside the main hall, the scent of expensive perfume mixed with the soft sound of piano music. The women were dressed in elegant gowns, and most of them turned to look at me as I passed.“Luna Darkmane has finally arrived.”I offered a polite smile. “Sorry if I’m late.”“No problem. We just started.” She touched my hand lightly, then guided me toward the main table. “Please, sit here, Sienna. We need your input tonight.”Liam sat with the other Alphas on the opposite side of the room. I could see him from afar; he looked compose
That morning, I woke up earlier than usual. Beside me, Liam was already dressed, his white shirt neatly tucked in and his doctor’s coat draped over his arm. He was standing in front of the mirror, fixing his hair.“Is Elena still asleep?” I asked softly, sitting at the edge of the bed and rubbing my heavy eyes.“She is. She woke up at four asking for milk, then went right back to sleep,” Liam said.I glanced at the clock. It was ten past six. “Has the nanny arrived?”“Just did. I told her everything, including Elena’s feeding schedule.” Liam walked toward me and placed a light kiss on my forehead. “You look tired.”I gave a faint smile. “Still not used to sleeping soundly with a baby in the house.”“That’s why you should sleep early tonight,” he said, but I only sighed quietly.I knew tonight wouldn’t be an ordinary night. Something suddenly came to my mind, but I chose to stay silent. After getting ready and putting on my white coat, we left the house together. On the porch, Liam ope
The next morning.Sienna slowly opened her eyes, still half asleep. Beside her, the bed was already empty. She turned her head and saw Liam standing by the crib, holding Elena and speaking softly to her.“Papa’s been awake since six, and you’re only opening your eyes now,” Liam said with a small smile.Sienna smiled faintly. “I actually slept well last night. Usually you’re the one who can’t fall asleep first.”“Yeah, but this morning I lost to this little one’s voice.” Liam lifted Elena slightly, showing her tiny, sleepy face. “She woke up at five and smiled at me like she did it on purpose.”Sienna laughed softly. “You lost the race, huh?” She sat up on the edge of the bed, running her fingers through her hair. “Let me change her diaper.”“It’s done. This Alpha dad has learned everything, diapers, milk, even bottle washing.”Sienna feigned surprise. “Wow, who taught you? The internet?”“Fatherly instinct,” Liam replied, raising his chin proudly.Sienna moved closer and kissed Elena’
Night slowly descended upon the little family’s home. The lights in the living room had been dimmed, leaving only a warm glow from the small lamp in the corner. In the bedroom, Sienna was putting Elena to sleep after nursing her. The baby yawned softly, stretched a little, then drifted off on her mother’s chest.Sienna watched her tiny face for a long moment, as if the world outside the room had faded away. “Sleep well, my love,” she whispered gently.She laid Elena down in her crib, patting the baby blanket lightly until her breathing became steady.From the kitchen came the sound of dishes being arranged. Liam was cleaning up after dinner. Once the kitchen was spotless, he entered the bedroom and paused at the sight that never failed to quiet him: Sienna sitting by the crib, her face serene under the soft glow of the lamp.“Is she asleep?” Liam asked quietly, careful not to disturb them.Sienna turned and smiled. “Yes. She fell asleep so quickly tonight. Probably tired after playing
