BOUNCING BABY

The months passed quickly, and with each passing day, Olivia's belly grew, along with the anticipation of the pack. The entire community was abuzz with excitement, celebrating not just the pregnancy of their Luna, but the promise of a new heir—someone who would one day lead the pack. The weight of that expectation didn't feel heavy on Olivia, though. For the first time in her life, she felt ready—ready to embrace motherhood, ready to face whatever challenges came with raising a child who would be born into a position of power.

Olivia and Antonio had settled into a new rhythm, their relationship deepening with each day. The once-fraught tension between them had long since melted away, replaced by a genuine partnership, grounded in love, respect, and an understanding of the path they had walked to get to this point. There were still challenges, of course—leading a pack came with no shortage of problems—but they faced them together now, as equals, united in purpose.
