Seraphina’s POV 1

Three days later, the doctor finally cleared me to leave the hospital, though he insisted I take things slowly

for at least another week. The pregnancy was progressing normally, and my body had recovered remarkably

well from the trauma it had endured.

As Damien helped me out of the wheelchair at the entrance to the military base where the training camp was

located, I could feel the change in myself more acutely than ever. The air seemed crisper, sounds were

sharper, and there was a thrumming energy beneath my skin that made me feel like I could take on the world.

“You ready for this?” Damien asked quietly, his hand steady on my elbow as we walked toward the main

building.

“I think so,” I said, though truthfully I wasn’t sure what to expect. The last time these people had seen me, I’d

been an omega who’d collapsed from overexertion. Now I was… what exactly? An alpha? A Luna-to-be? A

pregnant woman carrying the future heir to the most powerful pack in the region?

The weight of it all should have been overwhelming, but instead I felt oddly calm. Centered, even.

“Remember what we discussed,” Damien murmured as we approached the entrance. “Don’t try to suppress

your new nature. Let them feel what you’ve become.”

I nodded, straightening my shoulders and lifting my chin. Whatever happened next, I would face it head-on.

The moment we stepped through the doors, I could sense the change in the atmosphere. Conversations died

mid-sentence as heads turned in our direction. The dozen or so warriors scattered throughout the lobby

froze, their expressions shifting from casual recognition to something approaching awe.

Marcus Thompson, the gruff combat instructor who’d been skeptical of my presence at the beginning of my

training, was the first to approach us. But instead of his usual confident swagger, his steps were measured,

almost hesitant.

“Sera,” he began, then stopped, his brow furrowing as if he were trying to process something he couldn’t

quite understand. “You… you feel different.”

I could see the exact moment when my new scent fully registered with his wolf. His eyes widened, his
