Chapter <b>203 </b>
“We need to <b>talk </b>with her, Dominic, not avoid her,” 1 sald gently. “The marking isplete, the mate bond irreversible. Running away
won’t solve anything.”
“She nearly got you both killed<b>,</b>” Dominic growled, his hand tightening into a fist. “I don’t need that kind of family,”
I reached out to touch his <b>face</b>, feeling the tension beneath his skin. “I understand your anger, believe me, I’m angry too. But cutting family ties is more painful than <b>you </b>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 <b>there’s </b>a chance, I don’t want there to be an unbridgeable gap between you and your mother.”
Dominic’s expression softened<b>, </b>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 exined, arranging the <b>food </b>before leaving us alone.
Dominic opened the containers to reveal rare steak, the red juices glistening on the te. My former self might have balked <b>at </b><b>meat </b>this undercooked, but now the <b>scent </b>made my mouth water uncontrobly.
“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<b>, </bpletely immersed in the sensory experience.
“I take it you approve,” Dominic <b>said</b>, unmistakable satisfaction in his voice.
I nodded, continuing to enjoy this unexpectedly delicious meal while contemting the challenges we would face tomorrow. No matter how difficult, I knew I needed to speak with Marianne <b>as </b>the future Luna, for the sake of our family’s unity.
The next morning, Dr. Winters cleared me for <b>discharge </b>after confirming my condition was stable. She handed me a bottle of small white pills, exining their usage and potential side effects in detail.
“Twice <b>daily</b>, 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.
<b>“</b>It’s <b>good </b>to see you recovered, <b>Luna</b>,” he said, the title still producing a strange mixture of difort 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 vi. Father has already epted 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 <b>car </b>stopped in front of the imposing Sterling Manor, a building that once made me feel small and out of ce. Now, looking at it, I felt challenge and responsibility. I needed to <b>prove </b>myself worthy of bing 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 deration–a new strength, a confidence I’d never known before. “I’ll speak directly with <b>her</b><b>, </b>no pleasantries, no excuses, I said, feeling a <b>sh </b>of gold cross my eyes. “My wolf won’t allow disrespect anymore.”
