[SCENE 1: MORETTI MANSION - MASTER BEDROOM - 2:17 AM]
The house was silent.
The pack was asleep.
But the Alpha wasn't.
LUCA MORETTI [30] stood by the window.
Naked.
Moonlight on his back.
His gold eyes glowing.
6 months pregnant.
And she still took his breath away.
ARIA MORETTI [24] slept in their bed.
Hair spread on the pillow.
One hand resting on her belly.
Their baby.
Their wolf.
Luca's wolf was restless tonight.
Possessive.
Protective.
Hungry.
He walked to the bed.
Slid in behind her.
Pulled her into his arms.
ARIA [half asleep]: Luca?
LUCA: Shhh. Sleep, moglie.
ARIA: You smell... like need.
Luca groaned against her neck.
Right over his mark.
LUCA: Is it that obvious?
ARIA: You're hard.
[SCENE 2: "DON'T WAKE THE PACK"]
Luca's hand went to her belly.
Then higher.
Under her silk nightgown.
LUCA [whispering]: I tried to be good.
ARIA: You failed?
LUCA: Miserably.
His mouth found her neck.
Kissed. Licked. Bit gently.
Aria arched into him.
ARIA: Luca, the pack can hear—
LUCA: Let them. You're mine.
His hand slid between her thighs.
Wet already.
LUCA: God, Aria. You always want me.
ARIA: Only you.
[SCENE 3: SLOW AND POSSESSIVE]
Luca rolled her over.
Straddled her.
Moonlight hit her skin.
Pregnant belly.
His mark.
His ring.
Perfect.
LUCA: Look at you.
My wife. Carrying my pup.
ARIA: Stop staring.
LUCA: Can't.
He entered her slowly.
Careful of the baby.
But deep.
Aria gasped.
ARIA: Luca...
LUCA: Say my name.
ARIA: Luca.
He moved.
Slow.
Deliberate.
Like he had all night.
Because he did.
LUCA: You feel different.
ARIA: How?
LUCA: Hotter. Tighter.
Pregnant with my child.
Aria moaned.
ARIA: Don't talk like that.
LUCA: Why? It's true.
[SCENE 4: "CLAIM ME AGAIN"]
Luca flipped her.
On her hands and knees.
His hand in her hair.
His other hand on her belly.
LUCA: Is this okay?
ARIA: Yes. Please.
He thrust into her.
Hard.
The bed creaked.
Aria bit the pillow.
LUCA [growling]: Mine.
ARIA: Yours!
LUCA: Say it.
ARIA: I'm yours, Alpha!
Luca's claws came out.
Not to hurt.
To mark.
He scratched down her back.
Leaving marks that would heal by morning.
ARIA: Luca, I'm—
LUCA: Come for me.
Come on my c**k.
And she did.
Shattering.
Calling his name.
Luca followed.
Growling into her shoulder.
Filling her.
[SCENE 5: AFTERCARE]
Luca pulled out slowly.
Lay next to her.
Pulled her into his chest.
His hand on her belly.
Feeling the baby kick.
LUCA: He liked that.
ARIA: How do you know it's a he?
LUCA: I just do.
Aria turned in his arms.
ARIA: You're obsessed with me.
LUCA: Yes.
ARIA: With my body?
LUCA: With everything.
He kissed her forehead.
Then her nose.
Then her lips.
LUCA: The way you say my name.
The way you fight me.
The way you carry my pup.
All of it.
ARIA: Cheesy Alpha.
LUCA: Your Alpha.
[SCENE 6: ROUND TWO - DAWN]
5:30 AM.
Sun was rising.
Aria woke up to Luca between her legs.
ARIA: What are you doing?
LUCA: Tasting you.
ARIA: Luca!
He didn't stop.
Tongue and teeth and hands.
Aria came twice before he even entered her.
LUCA: You're so responsive when you're pregnant.
ARIA: It's your fault.
This time it was lazy.
Morning love.
Facing each other.
Legs tangled.
Kissing between thrusts.
LUCA: I love you.
ARIA: I love you too.
They came together.
Quiet.
Perfect.
[SCENE 7: 8:00 AM - SHOWER]
Luca carried her to the bathroom.
Washed her hair.
Washed her body.
His hands lingered on her belly.
LUCA: Morning, little wolf.
ARIA: Talking to the baby?
LUCA: Yes. Telling him his mama is beautiful.
Aria blushed.
ARIA: You always say that.
LUCA: Because it's always true.
[SCENE 8: BREAKFAST IN BED]
Luca brought up a tray.
Steak. Eggs. Fruit.
For his pregnant wife.
He fed her bites.
LUCA: Eat.
ARIA: I'm full.
LUCA: For the baby.
Aria sighed and took another bite.
ARIA: You're bossy.
LUCA: I'm an Alpha.
ARIA: You're my Alpha.
[SCENE 9: ENZO KNOCKS]
Knock on door.
ENZO: Boss. The council is here.
LUCA [yelling]: 10 minutes!
He looked at Aria.
She was in his shirt.
Hair wet.
Mark visible.
LUCA: You look f****d.
ARIA: Because I was.
Luca grinned.
Proud.
LUCA: Stay here. I'll handle them.
[SCENE 10: THE COUNCIL MEETING]
Downstairs.
5 other Alphas.
ALPHA 1: We heard rumors. About your wife.
LUCA: What about her?
ALPHA 2: That she's carrying the next Alpha.
LUCA: She is. Problem?
The room went silent.
LUCA: Anyone who touches her, answers to me.
Anyone who looks at her wrong, dies.
Understood?
All nodded.
[SCENE 11: BACK UPSTAIRS]
Luca came back.
Aria was asleep.
He got in bed.
Pulled her to him.
LUCA: Mine.
ARIA [sleepy]: Always.
[SCENE 12: NAP TIME]
They napped.
2 hours.
Woke up to the baby kicking.
LUCA: He wants attention.
ARIA: Or she.
Luca kissed her belly.
LUCA: Hey little one. Be good to mama.
The baby kicked again.
ARIA: I think he likes your voice.
LUCA: Good.
[SCENE 13: AFTERNOON - THE GARDEN]
Luca set up a blanket in the garden.
Just them.
He laid with his head in her lap.
She played with his hair.
ARIA: Do you ever think about before?
LUCA: Before what?
ARIA: Before the contract.
LUCA: Every day.
I was cold. Empty.
Then you came.
He sat up.
Kissed her.
LUCA: Best contract I ever signed.
[SCENE 14: EVENING - "TOUCH ME"]
Dinner was early.
Because Luca had plans.
Back in the bedroom.
ARIA: Luca, I'm tired—
LUCA: Then don't move.
He laid her down.
Stripped her slowly.
LUCA: Just let me worship you.
And he did.
For an hour.
Mouth and hands and whispers.
ARIA: I need you inside me.
LUCA: Patience, moglie.
When he finally did, it was slow.
Deep.
Eye contact the whole time.
LUCA: This is forever, Aria.
ARIA: I know.
LUCA: Say it.
ARIA: Forever.
[SCENE 15: MIDNIGHT - TALKING]
They were still awake.
Tangeld.
ARIA: What if the baby is a girl?
LUCA: Then she's a Luna.
ARIA: And if she's strong like you?
LUCA: Then God help her future mate.
They laughed.
ARIA: I love our life.
LUCA: Me too.
[SCENE 16: 3:00 AM - ONE MORE TIME]
Luca woke her up with kisses.
ARIA: Again?
LUCA: Always again.
This time was desperate.
Like they couldn't get enough.
Like they never would.
When it was over, Aria was asleep in his arms.
Luca stayed awake.
Watching her.
Watching his mark on her neck.
Watching her belly rise and fall.
[FINAL SCENE: 6:00 AM NOTE]
Luca left for a meeting.
Left a note on her pillow.
"To my Luna,
To the woman who made an Alpha beg.
Last night was perfect.
But I want tonight to be better.
Rest. Eat. Be good.
I'll be home by 6.
And then I'm claiming you again.
Always obsessed,
Your Wolf"

[SCENE 1: MORETTI MANSION - 6:03 PM]
The door opened.
Heavy footsteps.
ARIA was on the couch.
Reading.
Hand on her belly.
LUCA walked in.
Tired.
Suit wrinkled.
Gold eyes finding her instantly.
LUCA: You okay?
ARIA: I was waiting for you.
Luca dropped his jacket.
Crossed the room in 3 steps.
Kneeled in front of her.
LUCA: Did you eat?
ARIA: Yes, Alpha.
LUCA: Did you rest?
ARIA: Yes.
Luca rested his forehead on her belly.
His big hand on her bump.
LUCA [soft]: Hi little one. Dada's home.
The baby kicked.
ARIA [smiling]: He missed you.
LUCA: I missed both of you.
[SCENE 2: "TALK TO ME"]
Luca sat next to her.
Pulled her into his lap.
Like she weighed nothing.
LUCA: Rough day?
ARIA: Why?
LUCA: Because you look tired.
ARIA: I'm pregnant and your possessive, Luca.
He laughed.
Buried his face in her hair.
LUCA: Fair.
Silence.
But not awkward.
Safe.
ARIA: Tell me about your day.
LUCA: Boring. Meetings. Blood. Territory.
ARIA: And me?
LUCA: I thought about you every second.
Aria's heart melted.
ARIA: You asshole.
LUCA: What?
ARIA: You make me feel things.
[SCENE 3: DINNER TOGETHER]
Luca cooked.
Steak for him.
Pasta for her.
They ate on the floor.
Blanket between them.
LUCA: Remember when we hated each other?
ARIA: I never hated you.
LUCA: Liar.
ARIA: Okay. Maybe a little.
Luca fed her a bite.
LUCA: I hated that I wanted you.
ARIA: Now?
LUCA: Now I hate that I don't have you 24/7.
[SCENE 4: THE CONFESSION]
After dinner.
On the balcony.
Moon was out.
Aria shivered.
Luca wrapped her in his jacket.
Pulled her to his chest.
LUCA: Can I tell you something?
ARIA: Always.
LUCA: The day my father died, I swore I'd never love.
Love makes you weak.
Love makes you lose.
Aria turned in his arms.
ARIA: And now?
LUCA: Now I know not loving you would kill me.
Tears in Aria's eyes.
ARIA: Luca...
LUCA: You saved me, Aria.
From the Wolf. From the darkness.
From myself.
He kissed her tears.
LUCA: So if I'm obsessed, it's because you're my whole world.
[SCENE 5: BEDROOM - SOFT]
No rush tonight.
No desperation.
Just them.
Luca laid her on the bed.
Like she was glass.
LUCA: Look at me.
ARIA: I'm looking.
He undressed her slowly.
Kissing every inch.
Her belly. Her mark. Her lips.
LUCA: You're beautiful.
ARIA: I'm huge.
LUCA: You're perfect.
[SCENE 6: "LOVE ME"]
When he entered her, it was gentle.
Like the first time.
Like the last time.
Slow thrusts.
Deep eye contact.
Hands intertwined.
LUCA: Feel that?
ARIA: What?
LUCA: Us. This bond.
It's not just the mark anymore.
It's us.
Aria cried.
Happy tears.
ARIA: I love you so much.
LUCA: I know. I feel it.
They moved together.
Not to come fast.
To stay.
To remember this moment forever.
[SCENE 7: THE CLIMAX]
It built slowly.
Like waves.
LUCA: Come with me, Aria.
ARIA: I'm trying—
LUCA: With me. Look at me.
Aria opened her eyes.
And fell apart.
"Luca!"
Luca followed.
Whispering her name.
Whispering "mine".
Whispering "forever".
[SCENE 8: AFTER - THE HOLDING]
Luca didn't let go.
Held her for an hour.
His hand on her belly.
Her head on his chest.
LUCA [whisper]: Thank you.
ARIA: For what?
LUCA: For choosing me.
For staying.
For loving this broken Alpha.
ARIA: You were never broken.
You were just waiting for me.
[SCENE 9: MIDNIGHT TALK]
ARIA: What should we name him?
LUCA: If it's a boy? Enzo.
ARIA: After your right hand?
LUCA: He saved my life once.
ARIA: And if it's a girl?
LUCA: Caterina. After my mom.
Aria smiled.
ARIA: I love that.
[SCENE 10: DAWN - 5:00 AM]
Aria woke up alone.
Panicked for a second.
Then saw him.
Luca in the chair.
Watching her sleep.
ARIA: Why are you awake?
LUCA: Because you're the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.
And I don't want to miss a second.
Aria got up.
Sat in his lap.
ARIA: You're ridiculous.
LUCA: For you? Always.
[SCENE 11: THE PROMISE]
Luca took her hand.
Kissed her ring.
LUCA: Promise me something?
ARIA: What?
LUCA: Promise you'll never leave.
Even when I'm grumpy.
Even when I'm an asshole.
Even when the Wolf gets too much.
Aria cupped his face.
ARIA: I promise.
I will never leave you, Luca Moretti.
Not in this life. Not in the next.
Luca broke.
Actually broke.
Tears in his gold eyes.
LUCA: God, I love you.
[FINAL SCENE: MORNING LIGHT]
Sun came up.
Painting them gold.
Luca was still holding her.
Still kissing her hair.
ARIA: We should sleep.
LUCA: In a minute.
ARIA: Luca?
LUCA: Hmm?
ARIA: Thank you for loving me.
Luca smiled.
That rare, real smile.
LUCA: Thank you for letting me.
He carried her to bed.
Held her until they both slept.
Alpha and Luna.
Husband and wife.
Forever.

[SCENE 1: MORETTI MANSION - MASTER BEDROOM - 11:00 PM]
Full moon tonight.
And Aria was 8 months pregnant.
The baby was restless.
And so was the Alpha.
LUCA paced the room.
Naked.
Gold eyes glowing.
Claws in and out.
ARIA sat on the bed.
Hand on her belly.
Watching him.
ARIA: You're scaring me, Luca.
LUCA: I'm not scared. I'm starving.
He stopped in front of her.
Looked down.
LUCA: You smell like honey and my pup.
ARIA: That's because I am.
LUCA: I know. And I can't stop thinking about it.
[SCENE 2: "I NEED YOU"]
Luca kneeled between her legs.
His hands on her huge belly.
LUCA: Is he kicking you?
ARIA: Yes.
LUCA: Good boy.
He kissed her belly.
Then higher.
Up to her chest.
ARIA: Luca, be careful—
LUCA: I will be. But I need you tonight, moglie.
I need to feel you.
Aria's breath caught.
ARIA: Then take me.
[SCENE 3: SLOW POSSESSIVE]
Luca laid her down gently.
Like she was made of glass.
He didn't undress her.
Just pushed up her nightgown.
LUCA: So beautiful.
ARIA: I'm huge.
LUCA: You're perfect. You're mine.
He entered her slowly.
So slowly Aria whimpered.
LUCA: Is this okay?
ARIA: Yes. More.
He gave her more.
Deep.
Measured.
Never taking his eyes off her face.
LUCA: Look at me.
ARIA: I am.
LUCA: Good. Because I'm claiming you tonight.
[SCENE 4: "MARK ME AGAIN"]
Luca's thrusts got harder.
But still careful.
His hand went to her neck.
Thumb over his old mark.
LUCA: Do you feel it?
ARIA: What?
LUCA: The bond. It's burning.
Aria did.
It was hot.
Like fire under her skin.
ARIA: Luca, bite me.
LUCA: What?
ARIA: Mark me again. Please.
Luca growled.
Low.
Primal.
He leaned down.
And bit her.
Right over the old mark.
Aria screamed.
Pleasure and pain.
The bond snapped into place.
Brighter.
Stronger.
LUCA [against her neck]: Mine.
ARIA: Yours!
[SCENE 5: HARDER]
After the new mark, Luca lost control.
Not rough.
Never rough with her.
But harder.
Deeper.
Faster.
The bed slammed against the wall.
ARIA: Luca!
LUCA: Say my name!
ARIA: LUCA!
His hand on her throat.
Not choking.
Claiming.
LUCA: You're my wife.
ARIA: Yes.
LUCA: My Luna.
ARIA: Yes!
LUCA: The mother of my pup!
ARIA: YES!
He came with a roar.
Filling her.
Marking her from the inside.
[SCENE 6: AFTER - SHAKING]
Luca collapsed on top of her.
Breathing hard.
He was shaking.
ARIA: Luca? Are you okay?
LUCA:...yeah.
The bond. It's too much.
Aria held him.
Ran her hands through his hair.
ARIA: It's okay. I'm here.
[SCENE 7: ROUND TWO - 1:00 AM]
They didn't sleep.
Luca was insatiable tonight.
The full moon.
The new mark.
The baby.
All of it made him wild.
This time he had her on top.
Riding him.
ARIA: Luca, I can't—
LUCA: You can. For me.
His hands on her hips.
Guiding her.
Helping her.
LUCA: That's it. Ride me, Luna.
Aria cried out.
Coming apart on him.
Luca followed.
Growling her name.
[SCENE 8: 3:00 AM - SHOWER CLAIM]
Luca carried her to the shower.
Water hot.
He pressed her against the tile.
Entered her from behind.
ARIA: Luca, the baby—
LUCA: I'm careful. I promise.
Water ran down their bodies.
His hands everywhere.
One on her belly.
One on her throat.
LUCA: Come for me.
ARIA: I'm—I'm coming!
The water couldn't hide her screams.
[SCENE 9: 4:30 AM - THE BED]
Exhausted.
But not done.
Luca laid her on her side.
Spooned her.
Entered her slow.
LUCA [whispering in her ear]: This is forever, Aria.
ARIA: I know.
LUCA: No one else will ever have you like this.
ARIA: I don't want anyone else.
They moved together.
Lazy.
Deep.
Loving.
When they came, it was quiet.
Just whispers.
Just "I love you".
[SCENE 10: DAWN - 6:00 AM]
The sun was rising.
Aria was asleep.
Luca was still awake.
Watching her.
Watching his mark.
His phone buzzed.
Enzo.
ENZO [text]: Boss, everything okay? We heard screaming.
LUCA [reply]: My wife. Mind your business.
He threw the phone.
[SCENE 11: MORNING - BREAKFAST IN BED]
Luca made breakfast.
Brought it up.
Aria was awake.
Sore.
Happy.
Marked.
LUCA: Morning, Luna.
ARIA: Morning, Alpha.
He fed her.

ARIA: Claimed.
LUCA: Good.
[SCENE 12: THE BABY KICKS]
Mid breakfast, the baby kicked hard.
ARIA: Ouch!
LUCA: What?

Shower wet.
Towel low on hips.
Gold eyes on her.
ARIA: Luca, I can't—
LUCA: You can. For me.
He climbed on the bed.
Crawled to her.
LUCA: Just one more time, Luna.
ARIA: You said that 3 hours ago.
LUCA: And I meant it.
[SCENE 2: "LET ME WORSHIP YOU"]
Luca didn't enter her right away.
Tonight was different.
He kissed her.
From her lips.
Down her neck.
Over his new mark.
Down to her belly.
LUCA [whispering to baby]: Move, little wolf. Dada's busy.
Aria laughed and moaned at the same time.
ARIA: You're impossible.
LUCA: For you? Always.
His mouth continued down.
Between her legs.
ARIA: Luca!
LUCA: Shhh. Let me.
[SCENE 3: HIS MOUTH]
Luca was thorough.
Possessive.
Like he was claiming every inch of her.
Aria came twice.
Screaming his name.
Fingers in his hair.
LUCA [wiping his mouth]: Taste so good.
ARIA: You're dirty.
LUCA: Only for you.
[SCENE 4: FINALLY INSIDE]
Now he entered her.
Slow.
Deep.
Watching her face.
LUCA: Look at me.
ARIA: I am.
LUCA: Good. Because this is forever.
He moved.
Not fast.
Not hard.
Just deep.
Like he wanted to stay there forever.
ARIA: Luca...
LUCA: What, baby?
ARIA: I love you.
LUCA: I know. I feel it.
[SCENE 5: "COME FOR ME"]
Luca picked up the pace.
Just a little.
His hand between them.
Finding the spot.
LUCA: Come on, Aria.
Come for your Alpha.
And she did.
With his name on her lips.
Luca followed.
Growling.
Filling her.
[SCENE 6: 11:30 PM - ROUND TWO]
No break.

On her stomach.
Pillow under her hips.
LUCA: This okay?

He entered her from behind.
One hand on her back.
One hand on her belly.
LUCA: My girls.
ARIA: We're yours.
This time was harder.
Deeper.
The bed creaking.
ARIA: Luca, please—
LUCA: Please what?
ARIA: Faster.
He gave her faster.
[SCENE 7: MIDNIGHT - THE BATHROOM]
Luca carried her to the bathroom.
Sat on the edge of the tub.
Her on his lap.
Facing him.
LUCA: Ride me.

LUCA: I'll help you.
And he did.
Hands on her hips.
Lifting her.
Bringing her down.
ARIA: God, Luca—
LUCA: That's it. Take what you need.
[SCENE 8: 1:00 AM - THE FLOOR]
They made it to the floor.
Rug under them.
Luca couldn't wait.
Couldn't get to the bed.
He took her right there.
Hard.
Fast.
Desperate.
ARIA: Luca!
LUCA: Say it!
ARIA: I'M YOURS!
[SCENE 9: 2:30 AM - THE BALCONY]
Cool air.
Moonlight.
Luca had her against the railing.
From behind.
LUCA: Anyone can see us.
ARIA: Let them.
He thrust into her.
Hard.
LUCA: Mine.
ARIA: Yours!
The stars watched.
The moon watched.
The Alpha claimed.
[SCENE 10: 3:00 AM - BACK TO BED]
Exhausted.
But still going.
Luca laid her down.
Crawled over her.
LUCA: Last one, I promise.
ARIA: Liar.
He kissed her.
Soft.
Sweet.
And entered her slow.
This was love making.
Not f*****g.
Love.
Slow thrusts.
Kisses between.
"I love you" whispered.
[SCENE 11: 4:00 AM - THE AFTERMATH]
Aria was asleep.
Luca wasn't.

[SCENE 14: NOON - NAP]
They crashed.
3 hours.
Woke up to kissing.
Which led to more.
On the couch.
Quick.
Hard.
[SCENE 15: EVENING - "I CAN'T STOP"]
ARIA: Luca, seriously. I need a break.

[SCENE 16: NIGHT - THE FINAL ONE]
11:00 PM.
24 hours later.

Water and steam and moans.

ARIA: That's what you said 10 times ago.
[SCENE 17: 1:00 AM - COLLAPSE]
Finally.
Finally he stopped.
Because Aria passed out.
In his arms.
