LOGINMaliyla's POV
While driving to the wedding hall, I wondered whether Kira had left the room with all the baby shower decorations closed. It was my intention to have the shower straight after the ceremony and both parties shortly after that. This was planned so that I could make a speech to the pack and surprise everyone with a baby shower at the same time.
A complete gathering of the Crystal Blood Pack and Onyx Fang Pack took place. It was initially planned for a small venue with only seventy-five guests, but Hector and Daunte decided to go big, and since Daunte was going to walk me down the aisle, an offer like that just couldn't be refused. However, it was also important to me that Katia had her moment. Joslyn and Jayden had flown in with Evangeline.
"We're here," Jonathan said, breaking me out of my trance. My heart dropped as I looked out the window.

Hector's POVAfter Gisselle's funeral, Maliyla locked herself in the room. It didn't seem like anything I said made a difference. In an attempt to get her to talk, I asked Katia for help, but even she was unable to make any progress. Maliyla's grief seemed all-consuming and impenetrable, leaving me feeling helpless and frustrated. Her withdrawal from the world emphasized that the pain of losing Gisselle was too overwhelming for her to bear, and my efforts to comfort her felt futile.Daunte sent a team to the location where we tracked Erick's phone, but they were unsuccessful. As Jonathan suspected, they had relocated by the time the team arrived. It had to be given to him. He was a clever motherfucker.In an attempt to give Maliyla some space, I turned my attention to finding Erick. Daunte had been inspecting the area we had mapped with Jonathan, and as they discussed every possible l
Maliyla's POVTwo days laterErick's text message shook us all to the core. The worst part was that Katia's mom was caught up in all of this, which made me feel even worse. Despite her assurances that she wasn't upset, I couldn't shake the feeling that it was all my fault. I struggled with intense internal conflict and overwhelming self-blame. The weight of responsibility pressed heavily on my shoulders, as I couldn't help but replay the events in my mind and wonder if there was something I could have done differently to prevent this situation.As it turned out, Jonathan had gone to see Dr. Neal with Katia, which I was glad he had done. It was even more reason to celebrate when they returned to report that everything went well and the baby was healthy. Despite being happy for them, I couldn't help but wonder why I hadn't become pregnant. It wasn't that I was in a hurry, but I was sur
Maliyla's POVThe announcement that Katia was pregnant was the best news that could have come our way, given our current circumstances. It was something Jonathan had always wanted, so I was thrilled to see him finally getting what he always wanted: a mate and a house full of pups. It was a joy for Katia as well. She always dreamed of having a big family. They were entering the beginning of the most beautiful chapter in their lives.Jonathan had arranged for Katia to see Dr. Neal earlier in the week. Unfortunately, he could not attend with the Onyx Fang Pack on its way. As a result, I offered to go in his place. My alarm went off at five AM that morning. As I reached over, I noticed Hector's side of the bed was empty. As he had done when he proposed, he left a note and a white rose."Went for a run. I'll be back soon. Ti Amo""I love that man," I thought as I got out of bed, stretched, and headed to the bathroom. When I reached the sink, I turned on the co
Maliyla's POV"Hector and Maliyla, you have come together this day so that the Moon Goddess may seal and strengthen your love in the presence of the Crystal Blood Pack, family, and friends. So, in the presence of this gathering, I ask you to state your intentions: Is this a free and unconditional commitment to give yourselves to each other in marriage? If so, answer I have,' the priest instructed."I have," both Hector and I said simultaneously.The priest nodded and continued. "Very well, let us remember marriage symbolizes love and devotion between two people. We remember that love is patient, kind, doesn't envy, doesn't boast, isn't proud. It is not rude; it isn't self-seeking, keeps no record of wrongs, and is not easily angry. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices. A spirit always protects, trusts, hopes, and perseveres. It is my understanding that Luna and Alpha have writte

Maliyla's POVI awoke to the sound of someone knocking on my bedroom door. The first thing I noticed when I looked up was that Hector was still asleep. Just as I was about to get out of bed, I realized I was naked!"Dammit,"I thought to myself as I searched around for something to wear when Hector's deep voice startled me."Goddess forbid this should be important, or I'll kill you," Hector cursed as he rose from the bed."To whom are you talking?" I asked."It's Jonathan's punk ass that's knocking," Hector muttered.My need for clothing had grown even more vital now with Hector's revelation. When I stood up to go to the bathroom, Hector wrapped his arms around me."Mmm, where do you think you're running off to?" he whispered into my neck, se
