The morning sun was climbing steadily, casting a warm glow over the Blood Stone Pack's territory. The soft hum of activity filled the air as preparations for the trip to the Shadow Moon Pack were underway. Roseanne stood near one of the pack's sleek black SUVs, her hands brushing against the smooth metal of the trunk as she helped Skyla organize the carefully wrapped gifts. Ian stood nearby, his muscular frame leaning casually against the side of the vehicle, his arms crossed but his watchful eyes taking in everything around them.
"Careful with that one," Skyla said, motioning toward a box Roseanne was about to lift. "It's the crystal set for the baby. Lila looked like she wanted something elegant, so we went all out."
Roseanne nodded, her lips curving into a soft smile. "I'm just glad we found everything in time. I think she'll love it."
