“What’s wrong?” I ask sharply, closing the door behind me, surprised when Zaia lifts the trail of my dress so it doesn’t touch the bathroom floor.
Neither of us exchanges a word as we look at Valerie, who is battling with herself.
“Oh, I don’t know. Never mind. Let’s get back to our men.” She tries to walk past me, but I block her path.
“Val. What is it?”
She sighs. “I’m pregnant!”
Zala gasps as I stare at her. “Noo…”
“Yes. And I didn’t want to say because tonight is your night and-”
“Oh, my fucking Goddess! This is incredible. Fuck, I want to see Zade’s reaction! Record it for us if you tell him in private or, better yet, tell him now!” I exclaim as Zaia hugs her tightly.
“Whoa no, it’s your night!”
I’m not done talking about this, I mean unless she wants to tell him privately. Otherwise hey, I don’t care; I want to share my night.
“This is such good news! You planned it, right?” she asks.
“Yeah kinda,” Valerie says, blushing a little. “But I wasn’t expecting it to happen so soon.”
I can tell she’s happy and nervous, and heck, I’m excited too!
Dinner is about to be served, Angel. Where are you?” Atticus’ voice comes as Zala looks at us.
“They want us out there. Dinner won’t start without the Luna.” She smiles at me and I nod, glancing back at Valerie.
“Come on, let’s get out there.”
“Alright, but I won’t be telling anyone. It’s your night.”
“Girl, does it matter? This just makes it more special.” I insist. I can tell she’s excited
“Then how about you tell everyone at the end of the night?” Zaia suggests, and Valerie ponders over it.
“That sounds fair, plus I know Zade is ok with this, so it will go well.”
“Excellent,” I reply as we walk out of the bathroom together and Zaia places my skirt she’s still somehow holding on the floor “Thanks”

“No need. It would be a shame to get such a stunning dress dirty.”
I nod and our eyes meet. Maybe with time, we’ll become closer. I don’t know. But she’s a nice woman. Atticus had taste. I’ll give him that. But he’s mine, and that’s the most important part.
We head to the dining hall when Valerie speaks up. “Pregnancy scares are real, so what about you and Atticus? Are you on something, or do you guys want a child soon?”
I stop in my tracks, her words hitting home.
Contraception.
I would only have sex with condoms before… but Atticus doesn’t use condoms.
“Are you ok?” Zaia asks.
“Yeah totally. We don’t know yet.” I reply, and unlike Valerie, I am a smooth liar.
They both smile at me as we return to our table. Atticus stands up and pulls me close, claiming my lips in a deep passionate kiss that makes me weak at the knees.
Yeah, I won’t worry about kids right now.
When it happens, it happens. Right now, I just want to enjoy my sexy hot mate…. We sit down as Xavier sighs. “Women… You know we’re hungry?”
“Behave, Xavier,” Sia whispers as Kaia smiles at me.
“The bride is so pretty!”
“Thanks, honey.”
I guess becoming Luna is kinda like a wedding.
I glance at Atticus as I take out the last Polaroid from my garter belt and slip it to him beneath the table just as the first course is brought in.
“Let’s dine.” I raise my hand, feeling Atticus’ eyes burning into me.
Oh yeah, tonight is going to be on fire.
This is the life.
