Carrying His Secret Baby; My Stepbrother's Forbidden Claim Chapter 114
Wren's POVThe question Nora had asked Dante was still hanging between us. She lay against her pillows, watching him with the complete faith only a child could give someone. But I had already made too many promises I couldn't keep.Dante lowered himself beside her bed until their faces were level. He rested his hand on the mattress, close enough for Nora to reach if she wanted.“Being a strong Alpha doesn't mean I can fix everything, sweetheart,” he told her gently. “I wish it did. But your doctors are working very hard, and we're going to listen to what they say. All right?”Nora studied him with a seriousness that made my chest ache. “But my wolf is sleeping,” she whispered. “I keep telling her to get up. She doesn't listen.” Her fingers moved uncertainly across the blanket covering her legs. “Maybe she doesn't like me anymore.”I stepped forward before I could stop myself. “No, baby. Your wolf isn't angry with you.” I brushed the damp hair from her forehead, careful to keep my voic

Dante's POVIvy hadn't even looked back. She had stood beside the entrance to her house, holding it open, while Adrian remained at her dining table. I could still hear her final words. I wasn't asking Adrian to leave, Dante. She hadn't shouted. Somehow, that made it worse.I knew I deserved to be sent away. That knowledge did nothing to improve the picture lodged in my head: Adrian sitting among her half-finished dishes, close enough to notice when she needed water, welcome enough that she asked him to stay. I had made my apology and still managed to turn the evening into a question about another man. I should have listened instead of making her defend her own choice.Sleep came in fragments. Each time I woke, I remembered how tired she had looked when she mentioned Nora. She had spoken of the hospital as though it were another place she needed to be before the night was over, not somewhere a mother should have to return after a full day of fighting for her business. I had asked if No

Wren's POVThe hospital doors slid apart before Adrian had even stopped the car properly. I was already reaching for my seat belt, my fingers fumbling with the buckle as Cole's last words repeated inside my head. Nora isn't responding to me. I had asked him twice what that meant, but the call had ended with him saying the doctors needed the room. I ran across the entrance hall without waiting for Adrian, passing a nurse pushing a trolley. Every second between the doors and my daughter's room felt stolen from her.“Ivy, slow down. I'll find out where they've taken her,” Adrian called as he caught up beside me. His hand hovered near my elbow, ready to steady me, but I shook my head and kept walking. I knew the way. I knew this corridor by heart. Tonight, the familiar smell of disinfectant made my stomach twist. I turned the corner and saw Cole standing outside Nora's door, his face drained of color.“Where is she? What happened?” I demanded, grabbing Cole's sleeve before he could speak

Wren's POVI kept my hand on the front door, holding it open while Dante stared at me as though I had spoken in a language he didn't understand. Behind him, Adrian sat at the dining table, exactly where I had asked him to stay. I wished Dante would simply walk out. Every second he remained made it harder to pretend I wasn't shaking."You want me to leave?" Dante asked. His gaze moved to Adrian, then returned to me. "You actually want me out of your house?""I wouldn't be standing here with the door open if I didn't." I tightened my fingers around the handle. The disbelief on his face was worse. It made me feel as though I was the one doing something cruel.Dante took a slow breath. "I came here to apologize, Ivy. I told you I was wrong to say those things at the packhouse. I didn't come here to fight.""I heard your apology." My voice came out steadier than I felt. "I listened to every word. But apologizing doesn't mean you get to decide how long I have to stand here and hear you out.
Carrying His Secret Baby; My Stepbrother's Forbidden Claim Chapter 110
Wren's POVFor a moment after I asked Adrian to stay, nobody moved. Dante stood across the dining room with his hands at his sides, staring at the place where my fingers rested around Adrian’s wrist. I could almost see the effort it took him to swallow whatever he wanted to say. Days ago, I might have rushed to explain myself, afraid of losing the smallest chance of his affection. Tonight, I simply released Adrian and waited. Dante had asked to speak to me. He could decide whether he was capable of doing it with someone else present.“All right,” Dante said at last. He pulled out the chair opposite mine, but remained standing until I sat. His eyes briefly met Adrian’s before returning to me. “I came because I owe you an apology, Ivy. Not another explanation about why I was angry. An apology for what I actually said.”I pressed my palms against my knees beneath the table. My chest tightened. Adrian stayed near the sideboard, giving us space without abandoning the room. Dante looked a

Dante's POVI had barely reached my car when Ivy’s answer returned to me. Because Adrian hasn’t asked me to prove I deserve it. She had looked straight at me when she said it, without raising her voice or asking for sympathy. I had wanted to argue that I was the one who had been drugged, the one entitled to answers. But her words had exposed something I could not argue away. I had demanded proof of her innocence while offering none for my accusation.Marcus waited beside the car with the meeting documents tucked beneath his arm. I asked him to arrange immediate payment for the work Thornbridge had already completed. He studied me for a moment before opening his folder, as though expecting another instruction to follow.“Release everything properly verified and already owed,” I told him, keeping my eyes on the building entrance. “The terminated agreements remain terminated. And the inquiry continues.” I could hear how cold the instructions sounded. Paying a debt was not an apology, and
