A full month had passed since she discovered she was carrying his child.
Sofía felt as though she were floating. The warmth that had wrapped around her heart the moment she learned she was pregnant had not faded not even slightly. It was indescribable. Priceless. She had repeated the words to herself thousands of times I'm pregnant just to make them real.
That day, she had cried uncontrollably. Tears of shock, relief, joy. The three girls had surrounded her, soothing her until she could breathe properly again, guiding her gently back to bed as if she were made of glass.
Corinne, however, had immediately taken charge. She made it crystal clear to Jeanne, Claire, and the pack doctor that the news must remain secret no matter what.
At first, Sofía hadn't understood the urgency. But when Corinne explained, the weight of it settled heavily on her chest.
This child wasn't just a baby.
It was the firstborn of Alpha Fernando.
