The morning sunlight filtered through the curtains, warming my face as I stirred awake.
Lucas’s side of the bed was already empty, the sheets still carrying his woodsy scent.
Memories of last night’s passionate intimacy rushed back, making my cheeks flush hot. Tracy, my wolf, stretched contentedly within me, despite our shared exhaustion.
The sun’s already high. We should get up, Tracy urged.
I slipped into the clothes Lucas had left for me and padded quietly down the stairs. As I reached the bottom, I noticed Lucas and Ethan in the living room, seemingly engaged in conversation.
The last step creaked beneath my foot, and Lucas immediately looked up, His expression softening as he spotted me.
Ethan stood nearby, his bandaged hand clenched at his side, blood seeping through the wrappings.
I faltered for a moment at the sight of his injury, but I quickly reminded myself that his well-being wasn’t my responsibility anymore.
“Good morning,” Lucas said warmly, already moving toward me. “Sleep well” he asked, his hand finding its natural place at my waist.
“Yes, thank you,” I answered softly, deliberately avoiding Ethan’s pained gaze. “I could use some coffee p>
“Of course.” Lucas guided me toward the dining room, his fingers pressing gently against my lower back. “Butler has breakfast waiting p>
In the dining room, Elizabeth Grayson was excitedly arranging something on the table.
When she spotted us, her face brightened with almost childlike enthusiasm.
“Good morning, dear!” She rushed over, enveloping me in a quick hug before proudly holding up an intricately carved silver vial etched with
lunar phases. “This is last night’s special supplement! Perfect for newly bonded mates p>
I froze, remembering the effects of last night’s tea and the uncontrollable passion that followed. My face burned as I instinctively took a step
back.
“Mother…” Lucas’s tone carried a helpless.
“This is an ancient Grayson family recipe,” Elizabeth continued, completely ignoring her son’s cautionary glance. “It significantly improves
your…life p>
She gave me a meaningful look. “You should take some home p>
I froze, not reaching for the vial, my entire posture radiating reluctance.
Elizabeth, noticing my discomfort but misinterpreting it as shyness, turned to a nearby servant. “Take this to Lucas’s car. Put it on the
passenger seat so they don’t forget p>

I stood there speechless, mortification creeping up my neck as the servant accepted the ornate wooden box with a respectful nod.
After breakfast, Lucas drove me back to his private territory.

When he opened the passenger door for me, my eyes immediately fell on the elaborately carved wooden box sitting prominently on the seat.
Elizabeth had clearly worried we might “forget” her special gift.
My cheeks burning, I grabbed the box and thrust it into Lucas’s arms. “Please return this to your mother,” I mumbled, unable to meet his eyes.
“Actually, you really don’t… need this, I added awkwardly.
Lucas glanced at me, a hint of amusement playing at his lips. He picked up the vial and placed it in a compartment in the trunk.
“Don’t worry,” his deep voice carried a teasing undertone, “I won’t force anything on you.” His fingers brushed my cheek. “Though my Luna is so enchanting, it’s difficult to… control myself p>
My face flamed instantly, and I turned to look out the window, refusing to engage with his flirtation.
Arriving at Lucas’s private territory, a surprise awaited me.
When he led me to the master bedroom, I stopped in the doorway, stunned. The entire room had been transformed – walls changed from deep gray to my favorite pale blue, bedding and curtains replaced with soft silver-gray fabrics, crystal lamps I’d once admired placed on both nightstands, and my favorite inspirational books arranged in the corner.
“When did you…?” I breathed, taking it all in.
