Chapter 194LiamHer voice shattered everything.The darkness around me cracked violently, breaking apart piece by piece, but all I could focus on was her.Aurora.Crying in front of me.Begging me to come back.My chest hurt.Not physically.Something deeper.Something unbearable.“I cannot survive losing you.”Her words echoed through me over and over again.And suddenly…I wanted to live.Not for the throne.Not for the kingdom.For her.For the child waiting for me.For the life we hadn’t finished building together.My fingers tightened around hers instinctively.Aurora’s breath hitched.“Liam…” she whispered.Fear flooded me instantly.Because she looked weak.Too weak.Dark circles beneath her eyes. Exhaustion in her face. Her body trembling slightly, as if she was barely holding herself together.“She let herself come here for me…” Realization hit me painfully.“She risked herself…”“She risked our baby…”For me.The guilt nearly destroyed me.“Aurora…” My voice broke completel

Chapter 193 Aurora He was still scared. I could see it in his eyes. Not fear of death. Fear of himself. Fear that he had failed me too deeply to deserve coming back. And that broke me. How could someone so strong look so shattered? How could the man who carried everyone’s pain believe he was unworthy of love? My chest ached as I stepped closer to him carefully. “Liam…” I whispered softly. “Do you know what my greatest fear is?” His eyes lifted to mine slowly, vulnerable in a way I had never seen before. Not as an Alpha. Not as a king. Just… as the man I loved. “Living in a world where you no longer exist.” His expression cracked instantly. Pain flashed across his face, raw and unguarded. Tears blurred my vision as I held his gaze. “You think loving you ruined my life?” My voice trembled. “You think you brought me nothing but pain?” I shook my head slowly. “Before you, I was only surviving.” A tear slipped down my cheek. “I woke up every day just trying to make i

Chapter 192Aurora’s POVThe room fell into a tense silence.No one moved.No one breathed too loudly.It felt like the entire world had paused to watch what I was about to do.Cassidy arranged pillows behind me carefully. “You need to lie beside him,” she said softly. “Your bodies must be close. The bond is stronger that way.”My heart pounded harder.I nodded and slowly climbed onto the bed, ignoring the weakness in my limbs. My body still hadn’t fully recovered, but I pushed past it. I lay beside Liam, turning slightly so I faced him.He looked the same.Still.Quiet.Unreachable.My fingers slid into his, lacing them together.“They may start to slow,” Cassidy warned quietly. “Your breathing… your heartbeat. Don’t panic. Just focus on finding him.”Lucious stepped forward suddenly. “Aurora… wait.”I looked up at him.His eyes were red. “If something goes wrong—”“I know,” I whispered.Bella squeezed his hand, holding him back. My grandmother wiped her tears silently. My father sto

Aurora’s POVThe sixth day broke something inside me.Not loudly. Not suddenly. Just slowly… like a thread snapping after being stretched too far.Liam still hadn’t woken up.I sat beside him, staring at his face, searching for something—anything—that would tell me he was still fighting. A twitch. A breath. A change. But there was nothing. Just the same stillness. The same quiet.My fingers tightened around his.“This isn’t fair,” I whispered.My voice sounded hollow even to me.“I came back… I woke up… I fought… and you’re still gone.”The frustration had been building for hours—maybe days. I couldn’t tell anymore. My chest felt tight, my thoughts restless, my emotions swinging between anger and fear so quickly it made me dizzy.“You don’t get to leave me like this!” I snapped suddenly, my voice louder than I intended.Everyone in the room looked up.Lucious stepped forward carefully. “Aurora—”“No,” I said sharply. “Don’t tell me to calm down. Don’t tell me he needs time. It’s been

Chapter 190 Aurora’s POV It had been three days. Three long, unbearable days since I woke up. Three days of silence. Three days of waiting. Three days of hoping that the next breath, the next movement, the next second… Liam would finally open his eyes. But he didn’t. He lay the same. Still. Quiet. Pale. And every day that passed made the fear inside me grow heavier. I had slept for days before waking up, they told me. My body had been completely drained after the fight. My wolf had nearly shut down. The baby had fought to keep me alive, Cassidy said. That tiny heartbeat had pulled me back. But Liam… He had been like this the entire time. Even while I slept. Even while I recovered. He never woke. The thought crushed my chest every time it resurfaced. I sat beside him again, the chair pulled so close to the bed that my knees touched the mattress. My body was still weak, my movements slower than usual, but I didn’t care. The only thing that mattered was him. “I’m changin

Chapter 189 Aurora’s POV Darkness clung to me like a heavy blanket. I floated somewhere between sleep and pain, between silence and distant voices. My body felt weightless, yet unbearably heavy at the same time. I couldn’t tell how long I had been like that. Minutes. Hours. Days. Everything blurred into nothing. Then— A faint warmth. Soft. Fragile. Persistent. It pulsed inside me, like a tiny flame refusing to go out. My breath hitched weakly. The warmth spread slowly through my chest, then lower… settling deep within me. My heart responded to it, beating a little stronger. My body felt drawn toward it, like something inside me was calling me back. The baby. The realization came softly, but powerfully. My baby was fighting. Holding on. Calling me back. No… I couldn’t leave. Not when my child was trying. Not when Liam… Liam. The memory hit me all at once. Damian. The fight. The rage. The power. Then Liam’s arms catching me. Safe. My eyes fluttered open. Li
