The next morning brought crisp autumn air and the organized chaos of preparing for departure. I woke to find Regis already gone- probably checking security arrangements–but he’d left fresh bread and tea on the small table with a note in his precise handwriting: Eat.
Rest. I’ll handle everything.
I smiled despite myself. His need to take care of me would probably never change, and I was learning to accept it as the love language it
was rather than an insult to my competence.
After eating, I made my way to the medical wing. Time to face the more delicate conversations.
Mira’s door was closed, but I could hear voices inside–her bright laughter mixing with Owen’s deeper tones. I hesitated, not wanting to
interrupt, but Mira must have heard my footsteps.
“Eileen! Come in!”
I pushed open the door to find them sitting close together on the bed, Owen’s bandaged shoulder not preventing him from keeping one arm around Mira’s waist. They looked… settled. Like they’d been together for months instead of hours.
“How are you feeling?” I asked Owen.
“Much better, thanks to your treatment. His smile was genuine, warm in a way that made me understand why Mira’s wolf had recognized him instantly. “And to Mira’s company.”
Mira blushed but didn’t pull away. “We were just talking about Northridge Pack. Owen’s been telling me about his family.”
“Actually, Owen said, “I was hoping to ask a favor. Alpha Vane mentioned you might attend Adrian’s Luna ceremony?”
“We’re planning to,” I confirmed. “If Hawthorne clears you for travel.”
I’d like Mira to come with us.” Owen looked at her with such open affection it made my chest ache. “I know it’s sudden, but I want her to see my home. Meet my family.”
Mira’s eyes widened. “Really? You want me to meet your family already?”
“You’re my mate.” He said it simply, like it explained everything. And maybe it did.
I watched Mira’s face cycle through surprise, joy, and terror in rapid succession. “Elleen, I… can I talk to you for a second? Outside?”
We stepped into the corridor. Mira immediately grabbed my hands. “This is crazy, right? I just met him yesterday and now he wants me to meet his entire pack?”

“It’s fast, I admitted. “But mate bonds are like that.”

“What if they don’t like me? What if I say something stupid? What if-

“Mira.” I squeezed her hands. “You’re wonderful. His family will see that. And if Owen’s anything like Regis, his wolf wouldn’t have chosen you if there was any doubt you’d fit into his life.”
She took a shaky breath. “You really think I should go?”
“I think you should listen to what your wolf is telling you. And if she’s saying yes…” I smiled. “Then trust her.”
Mira nodded slowly, then broke into a grin. “Okay. Okay! I’m going to meet my mate’s family. Oh Moon Goddess, I need to figure out what
to wear-
“We’ll figure it out,” I promised, laughing at her sudden panic. “Together.”
My next stop was harder. Nina’s door was slightly ajar, and I found her sitting at her small desk, staring blankly at an open book.
“Nina?”
She looked up, and I saw the shadows under her eyes. She hadn’t slept.
“I came to ask if you’d like to come with us. To Northridge territory. For the Luna ceremony.”
Her expression didn’t change. “Why would I go?”
*Because you need a break from this place. Because it’s safer than staying here with Silas still at large.” I moved closer. “And because I’d like you there. As a friend.”
Something flickered in her eyes–surprise, maybe, or disbelief. “Friends don’t usually invite cursed witches to important pack events.”
“Good thing I don’t believe in curses then.” I sat on the edge of her bed. “Nina, you deserve to experience normal things. Joy. Celebration. You’ve been surviving for so long–maybe it’s time to try living.”
She was quiet for a long moment, Then: “What if someone recognizes what I am?”
“Alpha Adrian is known for being progressive. And you’ll be under our protection–mine and Regis’s. I reached for her hand. “Please. Come with us.”
Finally, she nodded. “Alright. I’ll come.”
Relief flooded through me. “Good. We leave tomorrow morning. Pack light–we’ll only be gone a few days.”

We took off the next day when everything was ready. The carriage wheels hummed against packed earth as we traveled toward Northridge
territory. I sat beside Regis, his hand warm over mine, occasionally drifting to rest against the gentle curve of my belly. Through the
window, I watched Mira and Owen riding side by side–she kept stealing glances at him, her cheeks pink despite the spring chill, while he
smiled each time he caught her looking.
