“This is it. Everybody take your place. Quickly” I hissed and watched as pack members got down on their hands and knees, hiding behind pieces of furniture, my hand switching the light off as Regan came downstairs, unaware of what was happening. This was a surprise for her and I didn’t want it ruined.
Xander had done a good job of keeping her upstairs and as he followed her, he looked more than satisfied with himself. When he had spoken about how she felt in regards to never having anything for herself, it had occurred to me what we could do to help Regan feel a little more special and appreciated. Now as she walked in, I flicked on the light switch and everybody jumped up, shouting “surprise” and taking her completely aback.
“What’s going on?” she asked, looking around the room in awe.
We had decorated it in both pink and blue, with balloons everywhere and gifts wrapped on the table. Regan looked lost as she glanced between us all. I smiled, reaching for her hand while Xander grinned at everyone. They had all helped to bring this project to life and I had personally thanked each and everybody who was present today for their contribution. Regan might not know it, but she was highly valued in the pack now and everybody was beginning to respect her as the Luna.

Her eyes began to brighten with excitement as we led her to the couch and sat her down. She put a hand to her mouth, looking on the verge of tears. No doubt this was unexpected and I was more than a little proud of what Xander and I had managed to accomplish in a reasonably short amount of time.
“You did all of this for me?” she whispered, her voice cracking slightly.

Whatever awkwardness or conflict that he and Regan had felt in regard to his child with Isabelle had thankfully been resolved. I let out a sigh of relief. It had never occurred to either of us to get a paternity test to see who the father of Regan’s child was. We
