Lucas stood behind me, arms encircling my waist. “You mentioned liking these colors and styles. This is our room now –

tastes too.”

Somehow, this thoughtful gesture moved me more than any expensive gift could have. I turned and impulsively embraced him, rising on tiptoes

to kiss him. “Thank you.”

Lucas pulled me closer, deepening the kiss, but just as the moment grew heated, my phone rang.

Seeing “Grandma” on the screen, I answered immediately.

“Grandma? What’s wrong?”

“Tori,” Eileen’s voice sounded perfectly normal, “Anna’s had a bit of a cold for a few days now. We’ve seen the local doctor twice, but she’s still

not feeling better. Janet and I thought we’d bring her to Moontouch Medical Center in Moonhaven for a second opinion. We’re not very familiar

with the city though… do you have some time today?”

“Of course, Grandma. I’d be happy to meet you there,” I replied without hesitation. “Just let me know when you arrive.”

I explained the situation to Lucas.

“Would you like me to come with you?” he offered, concern evident in his eyes.

“No,” I shook my head, “I can handle this.”

Hours later, I greeted Eileen and my young cousin Anna at Moontouch Medical Center.

Anna looked paler than usual, and her mother Janet clutched her daughter’s hand, eyes brimming with worry.

The examination revealed Anna suffered from severe seasonal allergies combined with mild anemia, requiring a two-day observation.

Janet visibly sagged with relief when the doctor explained the diagnosis wasn’t serious

“Thank goodness,” she breathed, the tension finally leaving her shoulders as she squeezed my hand. “I’ve been so worried these past few days.”

“Just be relaxed,” I soothed her. “We know what it is now, and she’ll recove quickly.”

That evening, Lucas suggested Eileen stay at his territory, but my grandmother politely declined: “Thank you for your kindness, Lucas, but I

wouldn’t want to impose.”

I arranged accommodations for Eileen at a hotel near the medical center and decided to stay with her. Later, Lucas called, his voice gentle with

understanding:

“I’m okay. You made the right choice, staying with your family.”

“Thank you for understanding,’ I replied softly, warmth spreading through me. I’ll be back soon.*

“Don’t worry,” he responded. “I’ve sent Jack with some essentials for you. Family comes first.”

Chapter 164

Anna moved to a regular room. To my surprise, Elizabeth and several Grayson elders came to visit.

As the days passed, I noticed Grandma Eileen’s attitude toward Lucas softening considerably. Her initial wariness was gradually being replaced by cautious approval.

Before long, it was time for Olivia Sullivan’s birthday celebration.

Lucas had commissioned a moon-white dress for me, trimmed with rare silver fur, so exquisite it took my breath away.

When we entered the Sullivan estate’s grand hall that evening, all eyes turned toward us.

As the companion of the Grayson Pack Alpha, I became the center of attention. Members of the hall cast curious and admiring glances our way, and I straightened my shoulders, trying my best to appear dignified.

Lucas kept one arm securely around my waist while gracefully shaking hands with the various pack members who approached us.

“The Alpha and his future Luna look remarkably well-matched,” I overheard someone whisper.

“No wonder Alpha Grayson introduced her so publicly. With those looks and that poise, even I’m impressed,” another female voice added.

“I heard she won the moon phase calculation championship. Beautiful and brilliant. Apart from her Omega status and background, she seems worthy of the Alpha.”

The murmurs continued around us. Whether their comments were sincere or merely performative, at least they were all giving him the proper deference an Alpha of his standing deserved.
