"Wait a—Alanza, are you crying?"
Luciano stepped toward the bed, his hand reaching out as if to catch the tears before they hit the blanket. I yanked my glasses off and shoved them onto the bedside table, blurring his handsome, worried face into a collection of tan and dark shapes. I didn't want him to see me like this. I didn't want to be the girl falling apart in a hospital gown while he had one foot out the door.
"I am fine," I lied. My voice c

Alanza’s POV"I need you to listen to me for once," Luciano says, his voice dropping into that low, command-heavy register that usually makes people jump to obey.He is standing by the foot of my hospital bed, looking like he hasn't slept in a week. I want to lean into him. I want to believe his promises that the world won't fall apart, but my own skin feels like a cage that's suddenly too small. Something is shifting under my muscles, a restless energy I can't name, and it terrifies me.Change is coming, Alanza, Sombra whispers. Her mental voice is a cool breeze against the heat of my panic. It is a transition, not a tragedy.I know she is trying to ground me, but the dread in my stomach has deep roots. I am certain Sombra knows exactly why I was out cold for days, but I can't grill her while Luciano is hovering over me like a sentry.Lucia reaches out and gives my hand a firm, grounding squeeze. "We have your back, Alanza. No matter what co

Alanza’s POV"Alanza, you have to wake up."The voice was a thin thread in a sea of ink. I tried to grab it, but the darkness was heavy, like cold water filling my lungs. Everything felt distant. There was a rhythmic, mechanical clicking somewhere to my left. A dull heat pulsed in my palms."I know you can hear me," the voice persisted. It was clearer now, vibrating with a strange familiarity. "Because I can finally hear you."Hear me? I didn't think I was making a sound. My throat felt like it had been lined with crushed glass. My entire existence felt buried under a mountain of wet earth. I remembered fire. I remembered the sensation of the air being sucked out of the world until there was nothing left to breathe."You're alive," the voice insisted, firmer this time. "You’re in the hospital. You're safe. Just open your eyes."No. I didn't want to. Waking meant the return of the weight. It meant acknowledging the ache in my bone

Lucia’s POV"Twenty-one days of staring at the same four walls is enough to make anyone lose their mind," I muttered, glaring at the calendar on the kitchen wall.Every red "X" I’d marked felt like a tiny stab wound. Three weeks since everything went sideways. Three weeks since my best friend stopped opening her eyes. I reached for my coffee mug, but my hands were shaking so bad I nearly knocked it over.Sombra let out a sharp yelp. I’d stepped right on her paw."Dammit, Sombra, I’m sorry," I said, reaching down to scrub behind her ears. "My head isn't on straight. Just give me five minutes to wake up and we’ll go see her. I promise."I felt gross. My skin was tacky with sweat and my muscles throbbed from the morning workout. Even though Alanza was stuck in a hospital bed, the rest of the world hadn't stopped spinning. If anything, it was spinning faster. London hadn't given me a single day off. He didn't seem to care

Lucia’s POV"You still have absolutely nothing to tell me?" Luciano asks.His voice sounds like gravel grinding together. He doesn't even look at the healer when he speaks. He just keeps his eyes fixed on Alanza's pale face. His shoulders are pulled so tight they look like they might snap.Libbie stands by the door with her clipboard pressed against her chest. She looks like she hasn't slept in days. "I am truly sorry, Alpha. We are running every test we have. Her vitals are stable, but she just won't wake up."Luciano grunts and turns back to the bed. He ignores everything else in the room. Libbie catches my eye for a split second. She gives her head a tiny, firm shake.My heart skips. It takes me a moment to process the silent signal. She is telling me the test was negative. Alanza isn't pregnant.A massive weight lifts off my chest. I feel a wave of relief so strong it makes me dizzy. Then the guilt hits. I shouldn't feel happy whil

Lucia’s POV"You aren't going anywhere until she opens her eyes, so sit back down," Libbie said, her voice soft but firm.I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding and sank into the plastic chair. The healer reached over, giving my hand a reassuring pat. I appreciated the gesture, but my skin felt electric with nerves. Every time the floorboards creaked outside the room, I thought it was the news I dreaded."It is just the Beta, Lucia. Relax," Libbie added.A second later, the door didn't just open. It hit the stopper with a dull thud. Karlos walked in like he owned the air we were breathing. I hated how my brain immediately started a checklist of his features. Broad shoulders. That rough, golden stubble. Hair that looked like he’d just rolled out of bed in the most expensive way possible. He looked like a lead actor from one of those messy romance movies I watched when I wanted to cry.I looked at my shoes, angry at myself. My bes

Lucia’s POV"He is literally three times the size of a normal human," I whispered to the empty, sterile air of the hospital room.Luciano didn’t even blink. He didn't look at me, and honestly, I don't think he knew I was in the room. His entire world was narrowed down to the rhythm of Alanza’s shallow breathing. He sat hunched over in a chair that looked like a toy beneath his frame, his face twisted into a mask of pure, raw agony. It made my own chest feel tight just watching him.I knew I was supposed to be the grieving best friend, and I was, but this was different. This was that fated mate bond the shifters always whispered about. It wasn't just sadness; it was like watching a man try to breathe while his lungs were being crushed.I looked down at Alanza’s hand. It felt too cool, too still. I squeezed her fingers and lowered my head, closing my eyes tight."Okay, God, let's talk," I muttered under my breath. "I know I&rs
