"I'd like you all to welcome your new Alpha: Alpha Liam," Alpha Connor announces. It had been two years since we graduated high school. Bella has also graduated and Liam was officially becoming Alpha. I'd stayed with the Millers family in their home while I studied online for college. I wanted an education, at least, and since I couldn't leave the pack, I compromised. Liam and I had completed the mating process a year prior, and we'd been doing it ever since. Liam's initiation didn't take long. It was the afterparty I was worried about. I hadn't been up for socializing lately, but I had my duties as a mate, and the new Luna.

"Congratulations Luna Dani! How much tome do you have left?" Maya asked when she finally found me in the crowd.

"Two more months and I'll finally be done," I sighed with my hands holding my lower back. Her hand went to my stomach as she smiled widely. I was seven months pregnant and completely exhausted. Initially, I didn't get pregnant the first few times we mated, but I knew it was bound to happen, and it did. I'd gotten better at keeping Sahria in check on my own, but when I got pregnant, she always stayed away. Aria didn't come around as often because I didn't need her as much these days. By this point, I'd gotten a handle on my powers and what I needed to do to survive. But because of the battle with Alpha Greg, I didn't need to hide who I was anymore. My reputation proceeded me.

"Dani," Liam called to me as he smiled. He jogged over to me and kissed me lightly. "You don't have to be out here. I know you're probably tired," he said as his hand rested on my stomach.

"More like exhausted," I chuckled.

"Go inside and rest," he said. I nodded before I wobbled back to the house and to our room. I sat on the bed with a sigh and used the toe of my feet to get my shoes off. There was no way I'd be able to reach my feet in my condition.

"How are you feeling these days?" a familiar voice asked. I looked over in shock to see Aria sitting on the chair of my vanity.

"Aria," I said. She chuckled.

"Duh," she smirked.

"What are you doing here?" I asked. She sighed before she stood and came to sit next to me on the bed.

"I came to say goodbye," she admitted. I looked at her confused. I didn't understand.

"Goodbye?" I asked. She nodded as she looked at her lap.

"Yup. You and I won't see each other for a while. I have nothing left to teach you. Everything else, you'll have to figure out on your own. I'll be gone for a long time. But I'll be back eventually," she promised.

"If you're leaving, why would you come back?" I asked, even more confused than I already was. She smiled lightly and placed a hand on my stomach.

"I'll be back to help teach this one when she's old enough," she explained. My jaw dropped.

"I thought you didn't know if my powers would be passed on?" I asked.

"I don't know for sure. But I'm going to assume that she'll have something. It would be more surprising if she didn't," Aria explained.

"Why didn't you tell me this earlier?" I asked. She gave me a knowing look.

"Would you have completed your mating process with Liam if I told you?" She asked. I blushed and looked at my stomach. The answer was a strong 'no'. She chuckled.

"That's what I thought. But now that you have, are you happy?" She asked. I smiled lightly as I nodded.

"Extremely," I admitted. She stood with a sigh.

"Good. Then I'll see you in a decade or so," she winked at me before she vanished into thin air.
