Chapter 203
“We need to talk with her, Dominic, not avoid her,” 1 sald gently. “The marking is complete, the mate bond irreversible. Running away
won’t solve anything.”
“She nearly got you both killed,” Dominic growled, his hand tightening into a fist. “I don’t need that kind of family,”
I reached out to touch his face, feeling the tension beneath his skin. “I understand your anger, believe me, I’m angry too. But cutting family ties is more painful than you might imagine. Emotions and fogle don’t always align.“
Thinking of my own family, my eyes suddenly welled with tears. “Sometimes I can sense my dad’s presence, like he’s still here. Especially now, with the baby, I wish so much I could tell him his grandchild will be the future Alphe of the Silver Shadow Moon Pack.” My voice trembled slightly. “If there’s a chance, I don’t want there to be an unbridgeable gap between you and your mother.”
Dominic’s expression softened, and he sighed. “You always see the best possibilities, don’t you?” he said quietly, his thumb wiping away a tear from my cheek. “I’ll consider it. But my priority is ensuring you and our baby are safe. If that means distance from her, so be it.”
I nodded, understanding his position. Before we could continue, a nurse entered with a food cart. I was surprised to see not just hospital meals but several elegant takeout containers emanating mouthwatering aromas,
“Special delivery ordered by Mr. Sterling, the nurse explained, arranging the food before leaving us alone.
Dominic opened the containers to reveal rare steak, the red juices glistening on the plate. My former self might have balked at meat this undercooked, but now the scent made my mouth water uncontrollably.
“Try it,” he encouraged, “your body knows what it needs.”
I cut a piece and put it in my mouth. The navor exploded across my tongue, more intense and delicious than anything I’d ever tasted. I closed my eyes, completely immersed in the sensory experience.
“I take it you approve,” Dominic said, unmistakable satisfaction in his voice.
I nodded, continuing to enjoy this unexpectedly delicious meal while contemplating the challenges we would face tomorrow. No matter how difficult, I knew I needed to speak with Marianne as the future Luna, for the sake of our family’s unity.
The next morning, Dr. Winters cleared me for discharge after confirming my condition was stable. She handed me a bottle of small white pills, explaining their usage and potential side effects in detail.
“Twice daily, preferably after breakfast and dinner,” she instructed. “If you feel any distress or experience Intense emotions, you may take an additional pill. Remember, this is only temporary, until after delivery.”
As we left the hospital, Dominic’s Maybach waited outside with Raymond standing by the door. Seeing us approach, be immediately opened the rear door, bowing his head respectfully.
“It’s good to see you recovered, Luna,” he said, the title still producing a strange mixture of discomfort and pride within me.
During the drive to Sterling Manor, I couldn’t stop adjusting my clothes and straightening my posture. Though I’d spoken with Marianne several times before, today was different. Today I would face her disapproval as Dominic’s official mate, as the future Luna

“Are you sure about this? Dominic asked, his hand covering mine. “We could go straight to the villa. Father has already accepted our
decision.”
I took a deep breath and shook my head. “If I’m to be Luna, I need to learn to handle pack conflicts. Moidance solves nothing”
The car stopped in front of the imposing Sterling Manor, a building that once made me feel small and out of place. Now, looking at it, I felt challenge and responsibility. I needed to prove myself worthy of becoming part of this ancient family.

Dominic helped me from the car, his hand protectively at my waist, a small gesture that gave me strength. “Between you and her, my choice will always be you, my mate, my Luna,” he whispered in my ear, his voice unwavering.
I felt something respond within me to his declaration–a new strength, a confidence I’d never known before. “I’ll speak directly with her, no pleasantries, no excuses, I said, feeling a flash of gold cross my eyes. “My wolf won’t allow disrespect anymore.”
