Serenity Weeks flew by, and every day I got bigger and bigger. I spent most of my time either in my greenhouse or painting, both of which I found very soothing.

Their efforts warmed my heart and did make me feel safer. Apparently, when she-wolves are pregnant they do something called ‘nesting’. I wasn’t aware of this, so much to my surprise, I began to hoard Alec’s dirty laundry like a dragon hoards treasure. I found it ridiculous
