After My Mate’s Mistress Poisoned Our Baby, I Rose

Synopsis

The autumn wind bit at my cheeks, but I didn't feel the cold. I only felt the warmth radiating from my stomach, where my hand rested protectively over the six-month swell of my pregnancy. Ten years. It had taken Luca and me ten years of building the Shadow Claw Pack, of fighting side by side as Chosen Mates, to finally be blessed with an heir. "He's here, Luna!" Stormi, my Gamma and best friend, beamed from the bottom of the porch steps. A ripple of excitement went through the gathered pack members. The convoy of black SUVs turned onto the long gravel driveway, kicking up dust that danced in the late afternoon sun. My heart hammered a frantic, joyful rhythm against my ribs. Luca had been gone for two weeks on pack business—the longest we had been apart since we exchanged our vows. I missed his scent.
