Author’s POVSilence swallowed the room afterward. Neither of them moved. Neither of them seemed capable of breathing properly.Henry could still feel the slight trembling in Lysera’s body beneath his hands while her wide eyes remained locked on his face like she no longer recognized the man standing in front of her.Moon Goddess. He had done this. All those months, all the hatred and all the accusations. And through it all, she had been carrying his child.Guilt ripped viciously through his chest.“I’m sorry,” he said suddenly, the words rough and uneven. “Lysera, Moon Goddess… I’m so sorry.”Pain flashed visibly across her face at the sound of his apology. Henry dragged a hand harshly through his dark hair before continuing.“If I had just looked at your face properly that morning—”“It’s not only your fault.” The interruption startled him enough that he stopped speaking entirely. Lysera finally looked down shakily before laughing softly at herself. The sound carried no amusement.

LyseraThe next evening, Henry came back. The moment the servants announced his arrival, my pulse immediately lost all sense of dignity. I spent the next few seconds pretending to rearrange shelves of books inside the sitting room before finally hearing his footsteps approaching down the hallway. The bond stirred instantly beneath my skin, warm and restless and far too aware of him.Then Henry stepped into the room and stopped. For a second, neither of us spoke. The memory of last night still lingered heavily between us. The truth, the kiss and the way everything between us had shifted so completely that it almost felt fragile now.Henry looked exhausted and like he had spent the entire night replaying every moment between us exactly the same way I had.His green eyes settled on me carefully. “You look well rested.”I almost laughed because I knew what I looked like. I didn’t look well rested at all. “I barely slept.”A faint huff escaped him. “Good. At least I wasn’t suffering alone

Author’s POVSomething inside Lysera changed after the prison visit.Henry noticed it almost immediately. She did not suddenly become louder or reckless or endlessly cheerful. Lysera would probably always carry some quietness inside her after everything she survived.But she seemed lighter now and like some invisible weight had finally loosened from around her throat. The nightmares stopped first. For weeks, Henry had grown used to waking in the middle of the night whenever Lysera shifted restlessly beside him. Sometimes she whimpered softly in her sleep. Other nights she woke up gasping quietly before forcing herself to calm down.After the prison visit, it stopped. Now when Henry woke during the night, he usually found her sleeping peacefully curled against his chest while one of his hands rested protectively over her stomach.Their son. The realization still overwhelmed him every single time.One evening, Henry found Lysera standing near the nursery doorway quietly staring inside.

Author’s POVOne month later.The ceremonial hall stood bathed in sunlight. Silver banners hung from the towering stone walls while hundreds of wolves filled every available seat inside the pack grounds. The atmosphere buzzed with excitement, anticipation and something far more precious.Joy. Real joy and not one forced, manufactured or built upon lies.Today felt nothing like the last ceremony held within these walls. There was no tension lingering beneath the celebration. No secrets waiting to explode. No innocent victim standing unknowingly at the edge of destruction.Only peace, only family and only love.Near the entrance, Lysera adjusted the sleeping baby nestled carefully against her chest before exhaling softly. Her son remained completely unbothered by the enormous gathering surrounding him. The child slept peacefully beneath a small blue blanket despite the noise filling the hall.Henry swore the boy inherited that calm from her.Lysera suspected otherwise. The child had alr
