 Noah's POV The metallic tang of iron and blood coated my tongue as my fist connected hard with the last rogue’s jaw. The sickening crack of bone echoed through the silent trees, and the bastard crumpled lifeless into the dirt beneath me.My chest heaved heavy and ragged, sweat slickening my skin beneath the weight of my armor. The eastern border was secure now, we had captured every single one who dared to invade our lands. Those who resisted were cut down where they stood, and those taken alive were bound for interrogation and judgment.But something gnawed at my gut. These were no ordinary rogues, there was a pattern to this, a deliberate choice that felt wrong in every way. I needed to know if there was something darker pulling the strings, a deeper motive hidden beneath their attack. But no matter how hard we pressed them, not a single one would speak.All t

Weak and completely breathless, I rested my head on her chest and listened to her heart beat beneath my ear. Her hands moved soft and tender through my hair, stroking me with such gentle, loving care.  She  then pressed a sweet, lingering kiss to the top of my head afterwards. As the fire and the heat and the passion slowly faded between us, the room stayed quiet and warm and filled with the soft, sweet, lingering scent of roses all around us."I love you so much Lily…" I said gently, my voice still thick with the lingering heat of us and the quiet, overwhelming tenderness in my chest. I always want her to carry these words with her right after we made love so she knows what I feel for her runs far deeper than passion or physical need. I never want her to doubt how completely she is loved, and I will tell her every chance I get."I love you so much too Noah…" she replied softly.I smiled, resting my weight gently beside her, f

"Hey, the pack needs you, Noah, and I know you carry so much weight on your shoulders today. Please do not worry about me, I will be fine. Issa is here and she will look after me well. I will be waiting for you when you return," I said softly, though every beat of my heart ached to pull him close and beg him to stay.He turned back then and walked to the bed, leaning down until his forehead rested gently against mine, breathing me in as if he could not bear to leave even for a moment. "Alright. I have given Issa strict instructions to watch over you and see that every single thing you need is taken care of. I will come back the very moment I can, do you hear me? And if you feel even the slightest bit unwell, send word to Elias right away and he will find me. No matter what I am doing, no matter how important it may seem, I will come to you immediately. You and our baby will always come first. Always," he said, his voice thick with a love so deep it wrapped around

Lucianna was the first to come forward her arms wide open and she pulled me into a warm tight hug. "Oh Lily! You have no idea how long we have been planning this! Every single thing, the flowers, the lanterns, the food, all of it just for you! Now come on we have so much to give you."She led me to a special seat draped in soft furs and gold ribbons and then the gifts began. One by one my friends stepped forward with beautiful wrapped presents and heartfelt words. Irene came first holding a soft stack of folded cloth."I made these myself," she said with a bright smile. "These are little blankets and swaddles. I wove protection spells into every stitch so they will always keep the baby warm and safe. May this little one grow up brave and kind and loved beyond measure."Next was Elder Mara. She held out a small wooden box carved with wolves and moons. "Inside is a locket that has been passed down through generations of our Lunas. It hold

How many nights I had wondered where she was. It had been so long since we had last seen each other and I had missed our bond more than I could say. Georgia had been my friend since childhood. She was truly the sister of my heart. She knew me inside and out and we had shared so much together. I never expected to see her at this place but I was so endlessly thankful that I did. I had lost all contact with her after I left Silverdale. I remembered how badly I had wanted to reach out and talk to her and I remember how easily I had been tricked into believing Sebastian would lead me to her, only to be fooled and deceived by him in the end.I could feel her shoulders shaking with quiet sobs and I knew I was crying too. Happy tears spilling over and running hot down my cheeks. We pulled back just enough to look at each other, our hands still clinging to each other's arms, overflowing with joy and excitement at this unexpected reunion."I cannot believe it," she
