He kissed her forehead with a smile. “I love you.”
The timer beeped and her heart jumped into her throat. Turning to face the counter, she swiped and turned off the alarm and then put her hand on the test.
They were both ready to start a family. They didn’t use protection, so it was an inevitable event at some point. She’d spent the evening thinking about how their lives were going to change with a baby, but she was so happy.
And Sigh was too.
He was practically vibrating with excitement.
“Ready?” she asked.
“Let’s see if we’re going to be parents, sweetheart.”
She turned the test over, and there in the little window was the word she’d wanted to see:pregnant.
She stared at it until her eyes blurred with tears and then she turned to Sigh and he let out ahell yesand hugged her tightly. “Yes, baby! We’re going to have a baby! Holy shit, Juliette.” Hecupped her face and brushed her tears from her cheeks. “I love you so much.”
She gripped his wrists. “I love you too.”
He kissed her, and it was suddenly deeper and sweeter, full of promises and a future that waited for them.
It wasn’t just good news, it was the most wonderful thing to happen to her since she’d taken a chance on a tavern in a shifter town and met the love of her life.
One choice had changed her life forever.
And she’d never been happier.
Sigh swung her up into his arms with a low growl. “We need to celebrate.”
“I think you have some ideas?” She snuggled into his arms, sinking her fingers into his hair and nuzzling his throat.
“Many, many ideas.”
“Take me to the moon, Sigh,” she said. “Again and again.”

Don’t leave yet! Back in May, someone was forgotten by her best friend. Read on to see what happens when Cass shows up at The Amber Howl…
The Night Everything Changed
Wednesday night, back in the middle of May
“How hard is it to answer a damn call or text?” Cassidy said out loud to herself as she drove across the bridge into King Lake. She was normally a fairly patient person, but her patience was frayed thin after sitting alone at the restaurant she and her bestie Juliette had agreed on for their weekly Wednesday dinner.
She’d ended up ordering, sending the occasional text because she was worried about her and it wasn’t like her to not answer calls.
Well, that wasn’t true.
Since Juliette met her wolf shifter mate, she’d felt less like a best friend and more like an acquaintance.
She followed her GPS to The Amber Howl, where she knew she’d find Juliette.
Parking, she turned off the engine and got out, slamming the door with a little more force than necessary.
Wednesdays were sacred.
They’d been getting together for dinner on Wednesdays for years, talking about work, trying new restaurants, and hanging out. They talked about books and coffee, about their hopes forthe future, and their plans for the weekend. She cherished the time, and hadn’t realized just how much she cared about it until she was stood up for the second time.
