Chapter 260
The sun slipped low in the sky, casting its golden glow over the Bloodmoon pack house. After weeks of war and rebuilding, there was finally a feeling of peace in the air. It was fragile but present, a quiet hum of hope that carried through the pack. Warriors walked with lighter steps, pups played without fear, and the scent of freshly baked bread mingled with the earthy aroma of the surrounding forest
In the main hall, Ramon stood at the head of a long oak table, the weight of leadership resting firmly on his broad shoulders. The scroll in his hands bore the invitation that would soon travel to every allied pack, an official announcement of the celebration they would host.
Ramon’s sharp eyes scanned the parchment, his lips tugging into a small smile as he read the words Sonia had written herself.
“To the warriors of Bloodmoon and our steadfast allies, we invite you to join us for a night of joy and remembrance. Let us celebrate the strength, unity, and sacrifices that brought us this peace. Bring your mates, your pups, and your hearts as we honor what we’ve built together.
Sonia entered the hall, her presence lighting up the room. She was glowing, though whether from her pregnancy or the hard–won victory, Ramon couldn’t be sure. She approached him, her hands instinctively resting on her swollen belly.
“How does it sound?” she asked her amber eyes searching his

wrapped an arm around her. “I just want them to feel like this was worth it,” she said softly. “They will,” Ramon assured her. “Because it was.”
The next few days were a flurry of activity as messengers were dispatched to every corner of the allied packs. The triplets, Castiel, Craig, and Caleb, volunteered to deliver the scrolls to neighboring packs, their excitement palpable. Sonia’s other brothers, who had been tending to their own packs since the battle, would be sent special invitations, Ramon could already imagine the chaos that would ensue when all seven brothers were under
One rood.
Meanwhile, in the eastern wing of the estate, Ivy paced nervously. Her hands fidgeted with the hem of her tunic as she tried to calm the storm of emotions swirling inside her. She had faced rogues and war with steady hands, but this was different.
Blane, her mate and Bloodmoon’s Beta, entered the room, his brow furrowing as he noticed her unease. “Ivy?” he asked, stepping closer. “What’s

Rimon nodded. “We’ll celebrate properly at the gathering. You’ve earned it, both of you”
When the right of the celebration arrived, the estate was transformed. Lanterns hung from the trees, casting a warm glow over the courtyard. Long tables were laden with food, and the air buzzed with the Laughter and chatter of pack members and allies.
Sonia’s brothers had all arrived, their boisterous energy filling the hall as they teased her mercilessly about her growing belly. Even Seth, who rarely smiled, was laughing as he recounted a story from the battle.
The Alphas of the allied packs were there too–Jackie of Moonray, Miriam of Greystone, and Nathan of Furclaw, also Alpha Daisy, each one greeted with cheers and gratitude from the Bloodmoon wolves.
As the festivities reached their peak, Ramon stood and raised a goblet, his commanding presence silencing the crowd.
“To unity,” he said, his deep voice carrying across the courtyard. “To the bonds we’ve forged and the sacrifices we’ve made. Tonight, we celebrate (not just victory, but the strength of our packs and the hope of a better future.
Cheers erupted, the sound echoing into the night.
As the revelry continued. Ramon turned to Sonia, his gaze softening. He extended his hand, his voice gentle. “May I have this dance, my Luna?” She smiled, her heart swelling as she placed her hand in his. “Always”
The crowd parted as they stepped into the center, the music shifting to a soft, lilting melody. Ramon placed a hand on her waist, his other holding hers as they swayed under the glow of the lanterns and the pale light of the moon.
The crowd watched in awe, their cheers and laughter filling the air as the Alpha and Luna danced. Pups clapped, warriors raised their goblets, and Sonia felt a warmth she hadn’t known in a long time.
But then, in the midst of the joy, a sharp, guttural scream tore through the air.
Sonia froze, her eyes wide with shock as pain radiated through her body. Her hand clutched her belly as she doubled over, her breath coming in short, panicked gasps.
Ramon was at her side in an instant, his voice filled with alarm. “Sonia! What’s wrong?”
She looked up at him, her face pale but determined. “The babies,” she whispered. “They’re coming
The celebration ground to a halt as everyone turned toward them, the mood shifting f

The crowd parted as he carried her toward the pack house, their cheers replaced by murmurs of concern and urgency.
