Nothing gave me more joy than seeing the stress lines disappear from Daisy’s forehead.

I watched her the entire drive, watched as her brows furrowed even while deep in sleep. It was her natural disposition to try to fix everything, but in doing so, she always forgot to look out for herself.
As we lay on the blanket, curled up into each other, eyes fixed on the sky above, there was ease in her features. Her brows weren’t furrowed in thought, and in that moment, I was reminded that she was far younger than I
was.
At her age, I was traveling the fucking world, I was trying to get as far away from home as I could. I tried to avoid all the responsibilities that were being placed on my shoulders whereas she was taking it all in full stride.
“Do
you
wish you
had a different life?” I couldn’t help but ask.
She lifted her eyes to me, brows knitted in confusion. “What do you mean?”
“You’re young. You could be doing anything else. You’re here, mated, pregnant. Do you wish it were different?”
I braced myself for whatever answer she’d give.
I wouldn’t blame her if she did wish for different. As much as it would hurt, I’d understand.
“No,” she said finally.
My eyes widened in shock. “Are you sure?”
She laughed softly. “It sounds like you already gave yourself an answer and you were just waiting for me to confirm it.”
I clamped my mouth shut because she was right.
She smiled, rolling over so she was lying directly on top of me. Her eyes locked on mine and I searched her face furiously, looking for any sign of deception, but there was none to be found.
“There’s nowhere I’d rather be to be honest,” she admitted. “I was never one of those people who dreamed of traveling the world and doing other things. It just never seemed plausible for me.”
“What about now?” I asked. “You can do whatever you want. You can have whatever you want.”
She shrugged. “I want what I have. I want this family with you. I want to be your mate and your Luna. I’m not going to lie and say it’s easy all day long. Some days I want a fucking vacation.”
I snorted at that because I understood her one hundred percent. I’d been doing it for so long and there were days that even I just wanted to log off and find something else to do.
“My point is,” she continued. “I’m good where I am. If I wasn’t, I’d tell you.”

I had no idea how I was lucky enough to find her.
She was all shades of perfection.
Being Queen was not an easy ask. I knew first hand that finding someone to be my Queen would be difficult. It would mean letting go of your personal dreams. I knew I’d never be able to ask that of anyone. I’d never have forgiven myself if I knew she wanted more from life and had only settled because of me.
Tangling my fingers into her hair, I kissed her.
She smiled into the kiss, hands pressed against my chest to keep her balance.
I kissed her deeper, tongue slipping into her mouth as she moaned softly, my free hand sliding up her shoulders to pull her closer into me.
She broke the kiss, but only for a second. “As much as I love being out here with you, please tell me we aren’t spending the night out here,”
I laughed loud.
The sound burst out of me before I could stop it.
“No, princess, we aren’t.”
I kissed her again, this time softer and slower. When I pulled back, I slapped her ass lightly,
“Come on, let’s get you home and into a proper bed.”
Once again, she fell asleep on the drive.
This time however, I didn’t wake her. I carried her into the house as gently as I could and lay her in bed. The hardest part was taking off her clothes without her waking up, but she must’ve been so exhausted that she didn’t even stir.
I didn’t get into bed with her immediately. Instead, I took a seat by the window, staring out at the peaceful night sky. It felt like years since I had a peaceful night where I wasn’t worrying about the next attack or some other kind of problem.
Sure there was the issue of the Northern pack and who was going to take over now that Scarlett was here. The guards were doing a good enough job but I knew sooner or later I’d have to find someone else in case Scarlett decided not to return. However, it was nowhere on the same level as some of the other problems we’d faced.
For the first time in a long time, we were at peace and I actually had something to look forward to… the family I was starting.
I smiled to myself, staring at Daisy’s still flat stomach. I found it hard to believe sometimes that there was a baby inside of her- our baby.
There was a sense of eagerness and anticipation, but also worry.
I wasn’t my father, I never would be, but sometimes I couldn’t help but wonder if I’d mess the kid up
