Luna Aurora (Alpha Fenrir)

Chapter

99

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.

"You're stronger than you realize," Lila said one evening as they worked together. "This child will be a symbol of hope for the pack. But you must be ready for the challenges that come with it." Aurora nodded, her hand resting over her abdomen. "I will be."

The pack had gathered around the central fire for a rare moment of celebration. The air was filled with laughter and the sound of music, a reminder of the unity they had fought so hard to protect.

Aurora and Cassian stood at the edge of the crowd, their hands brushing as they exchanged quiet smiles. But the moment was interrupted by the arrival of a scout, his breathless urgency cutting through the revelry. "Alpha!" the scout called, his voice sharp.
