“After your mother.” My throat tightens. “Hope Beatrice Kingston.” “Or Caldwell-Kingston,” he smiles. “Whatever you want.” “Hope Beatrice,” I repeat. “I like the sound of that. It’s meaningful.” “I love it too. However, what if our baby turns out to be a boy?” He asks. “Well… I am thinking Ares,” I finish without hesitation. “Ares?” “Greek god of war,” I explain. “Strong. Fierce. A fighter. Also we can add Nicholas as a middle name. What do you think?”

He looked like he hadn't slept in forty-eight hours, but the panicked edge had been replaced by a quiet, fierce focus. "Okay," he said, tapping the pencil against his chin. "What about Aiden? It means 'little fire.' It fits the Northern spirit." I let out a slow, controlled breath as a minor contraction tightened my stomach. "Aiden is nice, Lixie. But if he inherits the kinetic pulse, 'little fire' might be an understatement. He’ll be a wildfire." Félix chuckled, crossing it off. "Fair point. What about for a girl? Maya suggested Selene, for the moon."

She had thought about this for months— in nightmares, in dreams, in stolen moments of fear and hope while chained, bound, fighting to stay alive. Now it was real. “She fought with me,” Ella whispered. “Every moment. When the witches tried to break me… she pushed back. When I thought I couldn’t breathe, she kicked.” Jake listened in silence, chest rising and falling with quiet reverence. “I want her name to mean strength,” Ella said. “But gentle strength. The kind that bends but doesn’t break.” Jake brushed a strand of hair from Ella’s cheek. “What name?” he murmured. Ella looked down at the baby again.

My son, Moon, was strong, steady, and handsome, carrying the quiet confidence of someone who had been born to command. Their names were more than names. Munera and Moon. They carried the weight of history, the legacy of our bloodline, and the whispers of a prophecy that had once seemed like a distant dream. They bore the names of the Moon Goddess and of me—a gift and a responsibility intertwined. I had named them with love, yes, but also with hope. Hope that one day, they would step into the roles that destiny had prepared for them.

He’s a peace maker, quiet, always thinking of others. Lastly there is Andrew. Oh, Andrew. Name of Greek origin, as well. Meaning: “Manly, courageous warrior” and he is every bit the warrior. He is the strongest in our pack by far. He’s also a hot-head and has some anger issues. Some women are attracted to that.

She knew she was at the edge of bitter despair; any moment now, she would fall over the edge. Suddenly she heard Eli’s faint voice; it was a memory. “You know, mom, I named her Spirit because she is just like you… Beautiful, strong, smart, and always there for me.” She found her resolve, rising off the bed and standing to her full height. She put the ornament back on the little shelf. She took a deep breath in. She could feel her strength returning. ***

A name that was strong, gentle, or one that embraced both light and dark? She began the list, each name carrying its history and weight: Eira (for snow, for purity, for the night she almost left) Liora (for light, for the morning after rescue) Seren (for peace, for the quiet she longed for) Ash (for what remains after fire, for rebirth) Kellan (for strength, for the father’s courage she both loved and resented) Mira (for kindness, after her oldest friend) Rowan (for healing, for protection)

“Trevor? Not something big and heroic? Not ‘Storm-Chaser’ or ‘Rule-Breaker’?” “His name will be his own,” I said, smiling at him. “Not a job to do, but a person to become. ‘Trevor’ is a good, strong name. It means ‘wise,’ ‘careful.’ He’ll need to be both, to look after what we’ve built. But he’ll also be our son. Which means he’ll be stubborn, smart, and will never take the easy path.” I kissed him softly. “It’s perfect.”

To her, the name Lyn had felt too monotone and cold. She had wished that in her next life, her name would carry extra letters, to sound more complete. For that very reason, she named him Azael, because he was born , out from the crack of an egg shell, with an unknown origin. To her, that name symbolized strength and divine power. She believed he was either a fallen angel, a wilderness spirit, or an anomaly, since his origin was unknown, obscure in mist and fog — something even she, the holy maiden, couldn't foretell.

She slapped a hand over her mouth when she realized her mistake. "It’s OK, I can't forbid you from saying your brother’s name after all." I shrugged acting OK when I really wasn't. "I'm sorry." "I'll name my baby girl Calista or Adira." I changed the topic. "Adira?" "Yes, it means strong, noble and powerful, I know she'll be all of those things." I smiled at the thought of having a baby girl, Cage would adore having a little sister. Adira was the name Dash and I had said we would give our daughter when we had one in the future.
