Judy's POV

I watched Gavin walk away with Zachary, and even though I told him I was going to be okay and that it was fine for him to leave for a few minutes, a part of me wanted to pull him back. My wolf didn't like being away from our mate in this strange place, even though I still felt a strange pull to this manor, like there were secrets here waiting for me to uncover them.

The problem was, I wanted to uncover them with Gavin, not away from him.

I told myself it would only be a little while, and I needed to keep breathing. I couldn't be afraid of what was to come if I was expecting to be a brave Luna.

“Judy?” Selene said, drawing my attention to her. “Are you coming?”

I nodded, swallowing the lump I had in my throat.

Selene led me into a smaller parlor off the main hall, sunlight spilling through tall windows and catching the dust like glitter.

"This is where we will start,” she said. "We are going to focus on posture and stance for right now. Later, we will practice dining and proper conversation starters. We'll even learn questions and answers because trust me, as a Luna, your packmates will be asking you a ton of questions, and they expect proper answers." “Should I change clothes?" I asked, staring down at my oversized t-shirt and jeans, the only things that truly fit me comfortably now that I have a baby bump. I brought a dress with some heels, though they were comfortable and made me feel even fatter than I was.

"That's not necessary,” she told me with a small smile. “You're pregnant and your body is constantly changing. It's a delicate time, and your packmates will understand why you aren't dressing up 24/7. There's much more to being a Luna than what you're wearing."

My cheeks flushed.

"That's what Gavin said too," I told her.

She smiled.
