Drake looked confused but nodded, stepping out of the room. Zoe entered, her sparkling red dress looking out of
place in the sterile hospital environment!
Noah couldn't help but think back to how sheepish she had looked at the prospect of shifting and joining them in
the fight. Not that he expected her to fight alongside them, but there was just something... off about the way
that she had acted tonight.
“Noah, I'm so glad you're okay,” Zoe said, moving to hug him.
Noah held up a hand, stopping her. “Zoe, | need to ask you something. Was it really the case that you simply
forgot where the trailhead was?”
Zoe froze and her eyes widened slightly. “What are you implying, Noah?”
Noah watched her carefully, reading her body language. The slight tension in her shoulders, the way her eyes
darted to the side... Something wasn’t right here. But he wasn’t going to press further; not tonight, at
least.

“Nothing,” Noah finally said. “I just wanted to thank you for your help tonight.”
Zoe nodded, looking relieved. “Of course. I'm just glad that you're safe, Noah.”
With that, Zoe turned on her heel and headed for the door. Just as she was about to slip away, Noah cleared his
throat and called out, “And Hannah, too? You're glad that she’s safe?”
Zoe stiffened, her hand on the doorknob. Without turning fully, she muttered, “Yes. I'm glad she’s safe,
too.”
And then, Zoe was gone.
Hannah's POV
| winced as the doctor cleaned the last of my scrapes. Aside from sbruises and minor cuts, | had managed
to escape relatively unscathed. Physically, at least. Emotionally, | was still reeling from the events of the night.
“Alright, Luna Hannah,” the doctor said, removing her gloves. “You're looking good, but we need to run a few
more tests to be sure.”
| nodded, ready to be done with all of this. But then the doctor continued, “Including a pregnancy test. It's
standard procedure in cases like this.”
My heart skipped a beat. “Is that really necessary?”
The doctor looked atsympathetically. “I'm afraid so. It's for legal purposes, in case there are any
complications down the line. We have to cover all of our bases.”
I swallowed hard, knowing | couldn't avoid this. “Alright,” | said quietly.
As | waited for the results, my mind raced. This would be the first official confirmation of my pregnancy. Until
now, it hadn't been set in stone. | knew | was pregnant, of course, but seeing it on paper would make

The doctor returned with a smile on her face. “Congratulations, Luna Hannah. The test cback positive.
Would you liketo bring your husband in to share the news?”
“No!” | said quickly, perhaps too quickly judging by the doctor's raised eyebrow. “I mean, no thank you. I'd like to
tell him in private.”
The doctor nodded, although she looked a bit confused. “Of course. Well, everything looks good, but | want you
to cback in a month for a checkup. We'll monitor the baby’s progress then.”
As the doctor left, | sat on the edge of the bed, chewing my lip. My hand drifted to my stomach, where our child
was growing. Noah's child. The child he had saved tonight without even knowing it.
| thought about how close | had cto losing everything. How Noah had leaped afterwithout hesitation,
risking his own life to save mine. And now, knowing for certain that | was carrying his child, the weight of his
actions hiteven harder.
How could | keep this from him any longer? He deserved to know, especially after what he did fortonight. But
the thought of telling him also madefeel like | might be sick.
| closed my eyes for a moment, thinking deeply. The Moon Goddess had givena second chance at
ife, bringingback from death.
But tonight, Noah had givena third.
