The news of Aurora's pregnancy remained between her and Cassian for the time being. They decided to wait until the right moment to tell the pack, knowing that the revelation would bring both joy and complications. Aurora spent more time with her mother, Lila's quiet wisdom a comfort as she navigated the whirlwind of emotions that came with her new reality.
