Graysons POV

It was hard not to think of her as an incarnation of the goddess herself as I walked into our bedroom.

She was bathed in the sunlight resting peacefully in a deep sleep. In one of her nightgowns designed to torture me.

I felt my world fracture seeing her large bump protruding under the sheets. It was the middle of winter now. And she was barely covered. The final months of pregnancy must keep her warm in wolf’s blood.

I moved closer to her and knelt down beside her face. She was so peaceful I didn’t want to disturb her but I couldn’t stop myself

She seemed different even in her sleep slightly worn and matured now. The young love–lorn bride I had left was now a sturdy Luna and mom.

I k*ssed her forehead and her eyebrows scrunched. I k*ssed her cheek and her nose twitched. I finally granted myself permission to be home by k*ssing her l*ps and when her eyes fluttered open I was blessed into heaven with her sound.

“Grayson,” she whispered still slightly groggy.

“I’m sorry it took so long,” I k*ssed her hand.

“Grayson,” she clasped a hand over her mouth in an attempt to cover a sob.

She moved surprisingly quickly for a woman so pregnant and was in my arms before I knew it. I found my peace and sanity returning to me in a flood.

“You came back,” she cried gripping me hard and long. “Thank the goddess,”

“They are gone and buried I won’t be leaving again, I let my hands wander over her now–changed b*dy.

“I do not doubt you,” she whispered in my ear before pushing back from me. Her eyes looked over my face. “We are far too young to look like this,” she quipped her hands facing over all the new scars that tattooed my skin.

“I’m a starved man, Netta,” I warned her. “And you need a gentle touch. Do not start something just yet,”

She arched an eyebrow before taking my hand and placing it on her bump. “He’s large,” she informed me. “I fear he’ll
