Kian gently lay her on the furs.After a while,Selena heard the sound of the cleansing flow from the wash chamber.She rolled over and closed her eyes,but her restless inner wolf kept her awake.

After a few minutes,she felt the other side of the furs sink.Before she could move,a large,warm,dominant hand rested on her waist.It slowly moved down,spreading Kian’s heat on her skin.

“Hmm…”Selena whispered.“Not tonight,Kian.”

Her protective instincts flared;she was scared that the mating might harm the delicate pup.

Kian’s hand stopped before it returned to cradle her back.“Rest,Luna.”

Weary,Selena followed her Mate’s command and fell into a deep slumber.

The following dawn,Selena woke up to an empty space.Only the slightly disturbed furs beside her proved that Kian had truly rested beside her.

She let out a small,annoyed sigh.‘Why did my weariness betray me last night?’

“Well,I will simply tell him about the pup today,”she whispered before getting out of the furs.
