MasukFreya’s POVBy the next morning, the entire Westridge pack was in beautiful chaos.Everywhere I looked, people were preparing for the baby blessing celebration Derek had announced.Flowers were being arranged across the courtyard.Tables were being carried outside and traditional decorations were being hung from the trees.The ceremonial hall was being cleaned from top to bottom.Even the cooks had been working since dawn, and somehow… I was involved in everything.“Luna Freya, where should these go?”I turned around.“The flowers?”“Yes.”“Near the ceremonial hall.” The woman nodded and hurried away.Before I could take a breath, another person approached me.“Luna, we need you to approve the ceremonial cloth.”I looked at the fabrics spread across the table.I pointed toward the cream one.“That one.”“Are you sure?”“Yes.”She smiled and walked away.I sighed.I had never imagined preparing for a baby blessing could be this stressful.Derek appeared beside me.“You need to sit down

Derek’s POVI couldn’t stop smiling.It was embarrassing and completely ridiculous and I didn’t care.I had spent years imagining what my life would look like but somehow, I had never allowed myself to imagine something this perfect.Freya was carrying my child.Every time I thought about it, I felt the same rush of happiness all over again.I was going to be a father and Freya was going to be the mother of my child.My mate and my future Luna.I couldn’t stop smiling.“Alpha.”I looked up.One of the estate workers stood in the doorway.“Yes?”“Are you sure you want all of this changed?”I looked around the suite.“Yes.”The room had previously been used as a guest suite.It was spacious, bright and perfect for a nursery.I had already called in the best people in Westridge to begin renovating it.“Move the furniture, change the flooring and make sure the windows are properly secured. I want the nursery connected to the main bedroom.”The worker stared at me.“Alpha, the baby isn’t e
Freya’s POVI was standing in front of the mirror when Derek walked into the room.The moment I saw his face, I knew something had happened.“What?”He laughed. “What?”“Why are you looking at me like that?”“Because I have good news.”I turned around. “What kind of good news?”He walked toward me.“The elders approved everything,” he said. “The engagement, the Luna Ceremony, and the wedding. We have their full blessing.”My mouth fell open. I felt a rush of happiness “Are you serious?”He nodded. “Yes. They approved the everything.”I stared at him.For a moment, I couldn’t speak. Then I laughed.“Derek!”He caught me when I threw my arms around him. “We’re actually getting married.”His arms tightened around me.“Yes.”I buried my face against his chest.“I can’t believe this.”The following week was chaos.Within the next week, wedding planners, dressmakers, and ceremonial advisers began arriving at Westridge. The pack estate became busy with constant activity. Meetings were sched
Derek’s POVThe moment Freya disappeared upstairs, I remained in the hallway for several seconds still smiling.She had looked so surprised when the elders announced that they wanted to begin preparations for her Luna Ceremony.I could still see the expression on her face.Part excitement, part disbelief and just a little fear and I understood why.Freya had been through enough to know that titles came with expectations. She had spent years being defined by other people’s decisions and this time, I wanted everything to be different.I wanted her to know that becoming Luna wouldn’t mean losing herself.“Alpha.”I turned.One of the guards stood nearby. “The elders are waiting for you in the council hall.”I sighed. “I’ll be there.”I walked toward the council hall. When I entered, all the elders were already seated.The doors closed behind me.I stood before them and spoke openly about my decision to marry Freya and make her the future Luna of the pack.“I know this may seem fast to so
Freya’s POVFor several seconds, I couldn’t move.The moment Derek’s car stopped in front of the gates, the crowd erupted into cheers.My heart pounded.There were so many people. Pack members stood along both sides of the entrance, smiling, waving, and holding flowers.I had expected curiosity or maybe judgment buy Instead, I saw nothing but warmth.Derek turned toward me.“Ready?”I swallowed.“Not really.”He laughed softly.He stepped out of the car and walked around to open my door.Then he held out his hand. I stared at it for a moment before placing mine in his.The moment my feet touched the ground, the cheering grew louder.“Welcome, Luna!”“Welcome to Westridge!”My eyes widened.Derek leaned closer. “They’re happy to meet you”I laughed. “I can already tell.”We walked forward together then Derek stopped.The crowd slowly became quiet, then he turned toward everyone.I looked at him. “What are you doing?”He smiled. “Something I should have done a long time ago.”He lifted

Freya's POV“You’re a wretched little wolf from a wretched little pack. The worst mistake of my life… a mistake I’ll regret for the rest of my days.”Those were the words my mate spat at me on our wedding night.He had hated me ever since.I met Alpha Leo Cowell of the Ironveil Pack three years ago
