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, I 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
I winced as the doctor cleaned the last of my scrapes. Aside from some bruises and minor cuts, I had managed to escape relatively unscathed. Physically, at least. Emotionally, I 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.”
I 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 at me sympathetically. “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 I couldn’t avoid this. “Alright,” I said quietly.
As I 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. I knew I was pregnant, of course, but seeing it on paper would make

it real in a way it hadn’t been before.
The doctor returned with a smile on her face. “Congratulations, Luna Hannah. The test came back positive. Would you like me to bring your husband in to share the news?”
“No!” I 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 I want you to come back in a month for a checkup. We’ll monitor the baby’s progress then.”
As the doctor left, I 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.
I thought about how close I had come to losing everything. How Noah had leaped after me without hesitation, risking his own life to save mine. And now, knowing for certain that I was carrying his child, the weight of his actions hit me even harder.
How could I keep this from him any longer? He deserved to know, especially after what he did for me tonight. But the thought of telling him also made me feel like I might be sick.
I closed my eyes for a moment, thinking deeply. The Moon Goddess had given me a second chance at
ife, bringing me back from death.
But tonight, Noah had given me a third.
