As Aurora continued eating, her thoughts drifted to the pups growing inside her.
A soft smile lingered on her lips, but then her mind wandered to Lucas.
Something about her bond with him had shifted—her body, her wolf, had become more insistent on him.

Sophia's expression changed for just a moment—a flicker of something unspoken in her eyes.
She gulped, her fingers tightening on the edge of her scarf before she quickly masked her unease with a forced smile.
"Oh, um..." Sophia cleared her throat, trying to regain her composure. "Don't worry about it."
