The period after the embryo transfer began, and it turned out that the waiting phase was the most mentally exhausting. No medication, no procedures, no special activities, just waiting for my body to give an answer. Every little cramp in my stomach, every mood swing, every moment of fatigue felt suspicious.

I kept asking myself, “Is this a sign of pregnancy or just the effect of hormone medication?”

Liam knew I was starting to stress out. He became super attentive, to the point of creating a new household rule.

“No overthinking after 9 p.m.” It was ridiculous, but adorable. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn’t.

The funniest part? Elena joined the mission.

Every morning she kissed my stomach and said, “Wake up baby brother, don’t sleep all the time.”

I could only laugh while pretending I wasn’t nervous to death.

Two weeks passed like two years, and finally the day we were waiting for arrived: the day of the HCG blood test at the hospital. I tried to look calm, but my hands were col

  • CRAVING THE ALPHA SURGEON   Chapter 178

    Year after year passed like a gentle breath of wind. The life of that small family grew through difficult moments, tears, laughter, and a love that never faded. Every passing strand of time never truly disappeared; each remained in their hearts, becoming pieces of a long journey they would never trade for anything.The days after Liam officially retired moved with a different rhythm. For the first time in a long while, their home was filled with the sound of Liam’s footsteps almost all day long. There were no sudden emergency surgeries or late, night calls anymore.I continued working as a full-time surgeon, respected, well known, and often invited as a speaker at international medical conferences. Yet every time I stepped outside the house each morning, my heart remained the same as it always was longing to come home.Liam often walked me to the door, kissing my forehead like an old habit that never faded."Fight well today," he said every morning with a warm smile.I always replied,

    Days felt different since that decision was announced. The elders began arranging a special training schedule for Elena, including strategy classes, interpack diplomacy, territorial law, and even more intensive physical training. Meanwhile, Adrian became busy with advanced warrior training, preparing himself as a young Beta who would someday stand beside his sister.But the biggest change was visible in Liam.After decades spent in hospitals and in the leadership office of Darkmane, this year he officially entered retirement from being a surgeon. I was still used to seeing him in a white coat, walking quickly along the hospital corridor with a stethoscope around his neck. Now, that coat hung neatly in the wardrobe, and I could feel the emptiness left by a routine that once filled his entire life.On the first morning as a retired doctor, I found him sitting on the porch, reading a book with a frown as if he was forcing himself to enjoy his free time. The cup of tea in front of him had

    The Darkmane Pack meeting hall was filled with tension from the moment we arrived. The scent of pinewood and traditional incense filled the grand chamber, yet it was not enough to cover the uneasiness of the elders and warriors sitting in a circle. The temperature of the room seemed to drop several degrees as soon as Liam and I entered, while Elena and Adrian walked a few steps behind us.Liam, as always, radiated the authority of a leader. The elders bowed their heads in respect.“Thank you all for being here. We gather to discuss the future leadership of Darkmane. I will not be Alpha forever, and the time to choose a successor grows nearer,” Liam said.Quiet murmurs immediately echoed. Everyone was waiting for one thing, the name Liam would say next.The oldest elder stood up first. His white hair flowed and traces of battles were visible on his aged skin.“We respect your decision, Alpha. And we have considered everything. Based on strength, combat ability, and shifting control, we

    The sun had just risen when I finished making rounds in the post-operative ward. I was wearing my white doctor’s coat with a name tag that had become very familiar to many people. The nurses greeted me with respectful smiles, and a few young doctors followed behind me, taking notes on every word I said. It still felt strange every time someone addressed me with that long title, Doctor Sienna, a general surgery specialist who often appeared at national conferences and spoke abroad. But in reality, I had truly reached this point.I opened the door to a small procedure room, and Liam was already inside waiting for me, sitting casually while writing a report on his tablet. His hair had begun to turn gray, the fine lines on his face were more defined, but he still looked as handsome as he had twenty years ago, now with the added wisdom that made him even more captivating.“Finished your rounds?” Liam asked without lifting his head.I took off my mask and smiled widely. “Yes. You’re too fas

    Time passed. The house that used to be filled with the sound of a crying baby was now more often filled with laughter, music, and longer footsteps.Adrian grew from a tiny baby who fought for every breath into a strong, active boy who never got tired of chasing curiosity. Elena, who used to carry her unicorn doll everywhere she went, had now become a teenage girl with a diary full of dreams, ambitions, and the colors of adolescence. But one thing did not change: their love as a family.One afternoon, the golden sunlight streamed through the living room window. Liam was in the kitchen making fruit juice while I folded laundry on the sofa. Adrian, now 11 years old, sat on the floor tinkering with his robot toy. Elena, 15, sat at the dining table studying, though every now and then she glanced at her phone and smiled shyly.I knew that smile.“Is there something special?” I asked.Elena immediately closed her phone, her cheeks turning red. “Nothing. Biology assignment, something funny.”

    Finally, that day arrived.After weeks of living with seconds that felt like hours and hours that felt like years, the pediatrician stood beside us with a wide smile and a file in her hands.“Congratulations, Adrian is stable. His weight has increased, his independent breathing is good, and all vital organs are functioning normally. If nothing changes until tomorrow morning, you can take him home.”I immediately covered my mouth as I tried to hold back my tears. But they still streamed down uncontrollably. Liam took my hand right away, kissed the back of it, and stroked my hair gently.“We did it,” he whispered.I held Liam tightly.I looked down at the tiny incubator that now felt like the most loyal companion in our lives. Adrian was sleeping peacefully, his chest rising and falling slowly, his little hand gripping the blanket given by the nurses.“You’re finally going home, sweetheart,” I whispered as I touched the tip of his finger.The next morning, we signed all the discharge do
