I hang up the phone, rubbing my temples. This is starting to be beyond stressful. “Was it her again?” I look at Landon and roll my eyes. He already knows the answer to that question.

Lilacs and sandalwood hit my nose with a hint of orange, and the tension in my body starts to ease. I lift my head and see my mate walking toward me. She comes behind me and wraps her arms around my shoulders, kissing the back of my head. I will never get tired of the way she makes me feel. “Why so stressed?” I sigh, turning in my chair and pulling her onto my lap.

“Another call……” Tia sighs and places her forehead on mine.

“She’s been gone for months now, and she hasn’t stopped reaching out. Have you two thought about talking to her?” She has been asking this a lot lately, and it’s a tricky question to answer. She is my mother and the former Luna of the pack, but everything she’s done is enough never to acknowledge her again.

“Honestly, love, I’m not interested and I may never be.”

“I’m not interested either,” I say while running my nose up and down her neck. “Onto brighter topics, did my little bean eat today?” Tia’s hands automatically go to her stomach, and I can’t help the smile that spreads on my face. She’s two months pregnant, and we couldn’t be happier. We had hoped for a bit more time together, but a child is a blessing no matter what.

I reach around Tia and into my desk. I pull out a card one of the pups made for my mate. I hand it to her and watch her eyes light up as she reads. The challenge caused the pack to view Tia in a much more favorable light. They started to seek her out as their Luna and wanted to get to know her. Some of the pack members even apologized for how they had acted toward her in the past.
