The evening breeze gently caressed our faces as Lucian and I stood atop the rooftop, overlooking the sprawling landscape of our pack's base. The moon hung high in the sky, casting a silvery glow upon the world below. It was a moment of tranquility, a respite from the turmoil that had consumed me earlier."I heard that you had an argument with Loraine," Lucian's voice broke the stillness, his gaze fixed on the distant horizon. His words held a hint of concern, a desire to understand the events that had transpired in his absence.Surprised, I turned to face him, my eyes searching his face for any signs of judgment or disapproval. To my relief, his expression remained calm and understanding."Who told you?" I inquired, curiosity tinged with a touch of caution. I had not expected our disagreement to reach the ears of others, especially not so quickly.Lucian's lips curled into a small smile, his eyes holding a glimmer of amusement. "A maid saw it," he replied, his voice filled with a mixt
The sun had barely risen when the disheartening news reached our ears. "The north part of the pack's territory has collapsed, Alpha," the messenger informed Lucian with a grave tone.As Lucian's eyes met mine, I could see the worry mirrored in his expression. The weight of the responsibility as the Alpha bore down upon him, but I was determined to stand by his side and offer my support in any way possible.Without hesitation, I spoke up, my voice filled with determination. "I'll go with you, Lucian. We can face this challenge together." The weeks of practice and training had honed my healing abilities, granting me the opportunity to contribute to the pack's well-being in times of crisis.Lucian's gaze softened as he took in my resolute stance. "Thank you, Elisa," he said, gratitude lacing his words.

The tension between Loraine and me had lingered in the air since our last encounter. I expected her usual onslaught of mean words and spiteful comments, but to my surprise, she merely glared at me in silence when we crossed paths the next day.Puzzled by her change in behavior, I sought solace in Lucian's presence later that evening. I couldn't help but feel conflicted about the situation, knowing that he had taken action against Loraine for her mistreatment of me."But she is still your beta's sister, Lucian," I voiced my concerns, my tone tinged with apprehension. "You shouldn't have banned her from the Alpha's mansion. It might only exacerbate her animosity towards me and sow discord among your people."Lucian's expression turned serious, his gaze unwavering. "Elisa, I understand your concerns, but I won't tolerate anyone who treats you with disrespect, not even my most trusted subordinate," he asserted, his voice filled with resolve. "Loraine needs to learn her lesson and understa

I stood amidst the sea of fabric and lace, a sense of anticipation swirling within me.Dianne, the maidservant Lucian had assigned to assist me, moved gracefully among the dresses, her eyes sparkling with excitement. She had been a guiding presence throughout the wedding preparations, offering support and expertise to ensure that everything was perfect for our special day.I turned to her, a smile tugging at the corners of my lips, eager to hear her opinion. "Dianne, what do you think? Which dress do you think suits me best?" I asked, my voice filled with curiosity.Dianne's eyes danced with enthusiasm as she examined the gowns, her gaze thoughtful.

The moon hung low in the night sky, casting its ethereal glow over the vast forest that stretched before us. I stood beside Lucian, my heart filled with a sense of accomplishment and gratitude for the role I had taken on as Luna. It had been a journey of growth and self-discovery, and I had embraced it wholeheartedly.As Lucian's words washed over me, a blush crept onto my cheeks. "Thank you, Lucian. Your unwavering support and guidance have played a significant role in my growth as Luna," I replied, my voice filled with sincerity.Lucian's smile widened, his eyes reflecting pride and adoration. He leaned in, pressing a gentle kiss against my forehead. "You have far surpassed my expectations, my love. Your healing abilities, coupled with your compassionate heart, make you a true beacon of hope for our pack," he whispered, his voice laced with admiration.The moon's gentle light danced across the forest floor, beckoning us to embark on a new adventure.

The soft glow of moonlight bathed the room as I sat at my desk, engrossed in the pack's reports. It had been a few months since Lucian and I had tied the knot, and I had fully embraced my role as the Luna. The responsibilities that came with it had proven to be both rewarding and fulfilling.Lost in my thoughts, I was jolted back to reality when I heard Lucian's voice from behind. Startled, I turned to face him, my heart racing with a mixture of surprise and affection. He had a way of sneaking up on me, always managing to catch me off guard.A mischievous glint danced in his eyes as he spoke. "Are things hard for you?" His voice, deep and rich, resonated with a warmth that washed over me.I couldn't help but let out a laugh, my shoulders relaxing as I realized it was Lucian standing there. "You really know how to make my heart skip a beat, don't you?" I playfully scolded him. "And to answer your question, no, things are not hard for me. In fact, it's quite the opposite. Being the Luna
The days leading up to my birthday were filled with anticipation and excitement. Lucian had made sure every detail was taken care of for the grand celebration he had planned. With the help of his trusted men and the pack members who had grown fond of me, they worked tirelessly to make this day truly special.As I stood in front of my wardrobe, trying to pick the perfect dress for the occasion, Rafi's curious voice interrupted my thoughts. Turning to him with a smile, I found him looking up at me with wide, eager eyes."What gift do you want, Aunt Elisa?" he asked, his voice filled with genuine curiosity. His affectionate nature warmed my heart, and I couldn't help but feel grateful for his presence in my life.A playful glint danced in my eyes as I considered his question. "Anything is good as long as it's given from the heart," I replied, my smile widening. "Why do you ask? Are you planning to get me a gift?"Rafi's face lit up, and he nodded eagerly.

The thought of celebrating my birthday with the pack, alongside Lucian and Rafi, filled me with joy and excitement. I spent the afternoon with Dianne, who helped me prepare for the evening's festivities.As the sun began to set, I slipped into the dress Lucian had chosen for me earlier.
