ready to take the next step in my education, I couldn’t shake the nagging doubt
After all, the wolves of the Crescent Moon pack typically spent years honing their skills and knowledge before even. considering the possibility of attending college.
I am eighteen years old. She said that is the right age to start college but I doubt I’m ready. To think that I could suddenly be on par with them seemed almost too good to be true.
And so, as I stood at the crossroads of possibility, torn between the allure of further education and the comfort of familiarity, I knew that the decision lay ultimately in my hands.

I knew what I wanted and I am going to go for it. I’m just going to have to wait longer to decide.
The summons to Alpha Luca’s office filled me with a curious mix of apprehension and anticipation. We haven’t interacted alone since I came here except during some breakfasts that Elara insists I join them.
I made my way through the now familiar corridors of the pack house, the weight of his words hung heavy in the air, a silent reminder of the importance of the conversation that lay ahead.
Upon entering the office, I found Alpha Luca seated behind his desk, his expression grave yet tinged with warmth as he gestured for me to take a seat opposite him.
With a sense of trepidation, 1 lowered myself into the chair, my gaze meeting his with a mixture of curiosity and uncertainty. His warm brown eyes were smiling which eased me a bit.

“As you know, you are carrying a child, and while that is a joyous occasion, it also comes with certain responsibilities. He looks very serious now.
His words struck a chord within me, a sobering reminder of the weight of the life growing within me. I bent down my head and bit down on my lower lip. I get shy when they talk about my pregnancy.
Ugh, everyone knew I had sex with someone! Someones
understand.” I replied quietly, my voice tinged with a hint of concern.
Alpha Luca nodded, his expression grave. “Good,” he said
“Because it is essential that you receive the proper education and guidance during this time. Pregnancy is a delicate matter. and it is crucial that you have knowledge of the entire process, from conception to birth.”
I listened intently as Alpha Luca spoke, his words resonating deep within me. Maybe this is the wake up call I needed to make my decision?
While I had always understood the importance of education, his words drove home the significance of gaining a deeper understanding of the changes my body would undergo in the coming months.
“Of course, Alpha Luca,” I replied earnestly, determination flickering in my eyes. “I will do whatever it takes to ensure the health and well–being of myself and my child”
Alpha Luca nodded, a hint of approval in his gaze. “I have every confidence in you, Nesta,” he said. “And know that you will have the full support of the pack as you embark on this journey
I rose from my seat, a renewed sense of purpose burning within me, I knew that I had been given a precious opportunity to learn and grow, not just for myself, but for the life growing within me.
