LIANAAs we rose from the bed, I pulled Zaylen along playfully towards the kitchen, where boxes of utensils and pots awaited organization. "So, Mr. Alpha," I teased, nudging him with my elbow, "any secret tips for organizing the perfect kitchen?"Zaylen pretended to ponder for a moment, his brow furrowing in mock seriousness. "Hmm, well, start with putting the knives where I can't reach them."I laughed, knowing exactly why. "Fair point. And the spices?""Arrange them by how likely you are to use them," he replied without missing a beat. "And definitely keep the coffee beans within easy reach of both of us.""Got it, keep both of us caffeinated," I joked, unpacking the coffee grinder with a grin.Once I was done, I glanced at Zaylen again, enjoying the easy banter between us.

We deserve it after this morning."I glanced over at Zaylen, appreciating the soft smile on his face

How dare you?” She lightly slapped his upper arm. “Do you know how shocked I was when I found these two were together?”“Well, those are two different things, but how could I tell you when I wasn't sure myself? It was just a guess, you know?” Trevor reasoned.“Still!” Noelle whined.“Why don't you look at the bright side? Setting aside how you found out, isn't it great to have Liana be the Luna of your current pack?” Trevor pointed, and Noelle melted into a smile.Noelle engulfed Liana into a hug, clinging onto her happily. “Yes, I am very happy about that part.”Liana ch
