Ever since I’ve woken up, I haven’t had enough of looking at my mark. It’s like a tattoo of a crescent moon with two wolves howling at it. I don’t realise when Liam sneaks up behind me.

“It looks beautiful” he mutters under his breath.

“Yes, especially the hickeys next to it.” I tease him, he chuckles.

“No regrets” he shrugs. “Want breakfast? I’m great at cooking for my one and only.”

We hear a knock on the door, that’s weird. Liam opens the door and groans.

“Mom?” she steps in with a huge smile.

“My precious son’s darling mate, welcome to the family.” we hug, I’m a bit surprised she’s here though.

I look at Liam, he winks at me before going to the bathroom.

“Your mark looks beautiful, when’s the Luna ceremony?” Holy cheese sticks! I didn’t think about that.

‘I was hoping we’d spend the day together but unfortunately Mom is here. Dad is probably downstairs, so I can’t have a shower with you?’ Liam sends me a mindlink, yeah we can do that now.

“We’ll talk about that later, I’ll wait for you in the garden” she steps out and closes the door.

Before I can turn to enter the bathroom, Liam lifts me up and lead me to the shower.

“We probably have twenty minutes in here, let’s make the most of it” I giggle and we both kiss.

Now I am truly his…

‘And I am truly yours’ Liam replies, I forgot to close that!

The sparks have intensified, it never ceases to amaze me. I just love it. Right now, I’m seated with Liam’s mother, Lucia , in the garden.

“If my son ever becomes a total douchebag, don’t be afraid to do what you want. You definitely have my support. Kassandra, you’ll be Luna of the pack someday, don’t ever forget that you’re also allowed a vacation once in a while, don’t overwork yourself, my dear.”

“I won’t forget that but Liam should also remember that. He overworks himself at times, there’s always a meeting” she hums in agreement.

“That’s why you’re there.” she checks the time. “I’m sure I’ve tortured him enough, remember he is going to be very clingy. Primal Instinct. Enjoy it and don’t try to escape, he’ll catch you.” she smiles and leaves. Okay, what’s that supposed to mean?

I get back inside and find him in the kitchen. He immediately holds me tightly and inhales my scent.

“Dad was totally boring me to death with his long speech about life.” I smile as he whines.

“We have to go meet up with the girls, I also need my clothes.”

“Okay, fine.” He groans and releases me. I hear him whimper, I look at him and sigh.

“Or we can spend the rest of the day together but first I need to see your sister”

“My own sister sabotaging me” I laugh, that’s one way of looking at it.

I find a way to escape without having to look at his puppy eyes. Sarah and I are at the hospital because she wants to take a pregnancy test. We’re now waiting for the results, I can tell she’s nervous. The pack doctor, Scarlett steps out with a smile.

“You are going to be a mother, congratulations.” Scarlett hands her the reports.

“Okay, now it’s her turn to get tested” she points at me, I can’t be pregnant… right?

Scarlett smiles at me, I guess there is no escaping it!

I look at my reflection one more time after combing my hair once more. The girls have actually done a fantastic job on my makeup, it’s not too much and it brings out my natural beauty.

The colours are subtle, it’s a navy blue with custom made silver earrings which have been added a potion which ensures that no werewolf will feel pain or weakened whilst wearing this.

I put my hairbrush on the dressing table and get up, the theme is ‘Fairytale dream’ so the girls made me dress like Cinderella but a deeper shade of blue. I pick up my fan and walk out of the room. My hair is supported by a hair clip to stop it from cascading down my shoulders. The sight of Liam brings butterflies to my stomach, he gives me a calming smile. I wonder how will he react when he finds out that I’m pregnant. Yes, I’m pregnant! I’m planning to tell him after the ball tonight.

As soon as I emerge from the stairs, Liam leads me outside to the car.

“Enjoy! See ya there!” Alexis screams.

We enter the car and the driver drives off.

“You look beautiful, shall I compare thee to the Moon Goddess? For thee are more temperate and…. Okay, I forgot the rest but you look absolutely stunning.” I giggle a bit.

“Thank you Liam Shakespeare, you don’t look to bad yourself”

“If i could bow, I probably would.”

The ride isn’t long, as soon as we reach the venue, that’s when my nerves truly hit. Liam senses it and holds my hand tightly. I should’ve thought about this, what if Michael comes here? I hope not. I don’t smell any familiar scent so I’m safe.

Sarah comes to us with her mate, they’re both wearing a light pink coloured outfit.

“Aurora?”

“Was it that obvious, Cinderella?” she laughs and gives me a hug. “You look beautiful”

“I wish I could say the same about you but honestly, you look out of this world.”

“Excuse us” Liam and Ryker walk to the other Alphas.

Sarah introduces me to the other ladies, we’re all good. I constantly feel Liam’s gaze on me, he seems bored with the conversation going on. Next thing, a lady barely dressed in anything comes in. She looks like a typical troublemaker prostitute. She walks over to… Liam!

“That’s Diane, don’t worry, nobody likes her. She’s Alpha Damon’s girlfriend of some sort. Zero to no self respect.” Naomi mutters under her breath.

I clench my jaw as Diane shamelessly flirts with Liam. I walk over to them, it feels like the whole focus is on this moment.

“Excuse me but the material used to make that suit is expensive, paws off!” Diane looks over at me.

“And who are you?” she snarls. “Babygirl, you better stay away from my turf, okay?” she pays my shoulder.

“Remove that hand or I’ll break it.” Diane freezes and scoffs.

“Tried to be nice but you gave me no other choice. Get out!”

“Diane!” Liam growls beside me. “Respect your Luna Queen!”

All gasp, including Diane.

“I-I am so so sorry. I-I didn’t…”

“You know not to irritate me yet you still do it.” Liam looks at her indifferently before looking at a random Alpha “Take care of your plaything or else one of these days I might …”

“Liam, let’s go outside for a while” Liam looks at me, his gaze softens before we leave.
