Luna leaned into his chest, and he folded her into his arms, resting his chin on her head.
"Morvakar says there’s a 75% chance our child will be a Trueblood," Luna said quietly.
"I don’t care. I don’t care, my moonlight. We’re going to have a child—that’s all that matters." He cupped her face and pressed a lingering kiss to her forehead, as if sealing his promise with the gentlest part of himself. "Boy or girl, fangs or fur, it’ll be perfect."

"Are you decent?" Morvakar’s voice echoed through the thick door.
"Come in," Damien replied with a resigned sigh.
Morvakar entered. He gave the couple a once-over, noting the way Luna clung to Damien, and the subtle shine in Damien’s eyes that hadn’t been there an hour ago.
"Well, look at that," Damien said dryly. "We managed to teach you some manners."
"Idiot," Morvakar muttered affectionately.
"Someone is approaching," he added, suddenly all business.
Both Luna and Damien immediately perked up. They hurried to the parlour and pressed themselves against the cold stone wall beside the heavily warded window. Peering through the shimmering cloaking barrier, they spotted a lone figure wandering through the forest clearing.
