Lylah’s POV

“About that… Alpha Ezra prefers not to publicize his progress,” Beta Damon said at last, his voice even guarded. “Attention attracts outsiders and spies are everywhere in Moonclaw and Lunaris. Rest well, I If you need anything, you may call for Bambi or me p>
With that, he took his leave.
Both the Beta and his Alpha were so unusual
And to call what Alpha Ezra had achieved progress felt almost insulting. This was not progress, this wa dominance through innovation.
Across Verdanth, only a handful of packs had successfully integrated advanced technology into their territories, Rowan’s pack had long stood at the top of that hierarchy.
Or so we had believed,
Bambi shifted back into human form with a soft mechanical hum, silver–blue light flickering briefly
beneath his skin.
‘Mommy, I’ll show you how to operate the smart systems in the room,” He said brightly. His face shimmered, transforming into a living interface, icons floating seamlessly across her features.
When he finished, I bent down and gently patted his head.
His hair was impossibly soft. Warm and almost alive.
I had never had a pup of my own. Yet Selestine stirred within me, my wolf purring in quiet approval at t
gesture.
“Thank you,” I murmured. “You’re a smart little blessing p>
Bambi’s eyes lit up. “Mommy said I’m a smart little blessing p>
4 laugh slipped from me before I could stop it. “You can go play with your Daddy now p>
“No. Daddy told me to stay with you. It’s your first day here.” He shook his head firmly
“Alright, then,” I said, straightening just as my phone rang.
Tiara.
“Lylah!” she cried the instant I answered. “I prayed to Selene ten times today for your safety! Why didn’t you tell me you’d arrived in Lunaris p>
“I’m sorry,” I said gently. “Everything happened so fast. We went straight from the station to finalize the mating, license, then came directly to the apartment. I didn’t even have time to check my phone p>
“Oh, praise Selene,” she breathed. “I was convinced rogues kidnapped you and sold you halfway here p>

Bambi rolled closer to me with a faintly indignant sound.
“Don’t worry, Tiara. My Daddy wouldn’t kidnap Mommy. And he’s not a rogue p>
I winced as Tiara’s sharp gasp pierced my ear.
“Lylah! Is that the pup you told me about? He’s so loud–he’ll drive you mad p>
I laughed. “He’s not a real pup, but a robot. My mate designed it himself. And Tiara it turns out that mate isn’t just a warrior as we assumed p>
Then, I recounted everything from the moment we boarded the train until now. Tiara punctuated the story with constant gasps, near- shrieks, swearing by Selene’s name and other goddesses I didn’t even know existed.
“I didn’t know you were so pious when you’re shocked,” I teased.
“This is unbelieveable!” she insisted. “My best friend is a Luna now. I swear, I’ll rub it in Cora’s face un she chokes on her pride p>
I bit my lip. “Don’t. Alpha Ezra hasn’t formally announced anything yet p>
Tiara exhaled sharply. “Fine. I’m just furious she’s been acting as if the Blackfang Pack already belongs her ever since you left. She never leaves his side p>
That revelation stirred no surprise in me.
“Lylah,” Tiara said, her tone sharpening. “Choosing you from thousands on the Mate–Market, rushing th mating license, then giving you everything without hesitation. Are you sure Alpha Ezra hasn’t been watching you all this time p>
I frowned.
“No. I think he simply understands the weight of a mate bond and how a true Alpha treats what is his p>
She scoffed. “That’s how an Alpha should be. Not like the jerk ruling Blackfang. Unfortunately for me. that’s my fate p>
“I don’t want to talk about Rowan,” I said quietly.
Selestine shifted restlessly at the sound of his name, displeased.
We ended the call soon after.
Only then did I notice the sleek black box resting at the foot of the bed.
Bambi hopped over, lifted it with surprising care, and placed it in my hands. A small card lay on top.
‘Happy Birthday!
Inside was a set of silk pajamas, the fabric gliding through my fingers like liquid moonlight–cool, luxurious, infused with faint warmth that responded to my touch.
