Ella's New Beginning
The trees of the pack swayed gently in the morning breeze, their leaves shimmering with the promise of a new day. There was something particularly serene about this morning—something that felt different, as if the pack's peace had finally settled into its bones, reaching every corner of their lands.
In the heart of the pack's territory, nestled in a cozy cottage just outside the main grounds, Ella woke to the soft sound of a baby's cry. It was familiar now, a part of the rhythm of her life. Her heart swelled with love as she slowly rose from the bed, careful not to disturb the peaceful form of her mate, Alex, who lay beside her. For so long, Ella had struggled with the idea of becoming a mother, weighed down by her fears and insecurities. But now, with her son in her arms and Alex by her side, she couldn't imagine a life any other way.
