His Curse, Her Blood, Our Salvation Chapter 12
CruxThe paper of the folder felt rough beneath my fingers as I flipped to the next page.It was the fifth time I had read through it tonight. The file was thin, filled with medical reports, blood work results, and routine notes from the clinic.Normal blood pressure, low iron levels and vitamin recommendations. Somehow, I had memorized all of it.Yet I could not close it.“Call Reyes,” Aethros growled from the dark corners of my mind, his clawed paws pacing back and forth across my subconscious. “He is taking too long. Demand the full report. We need to know where she is right now.”“Shut up, Aethros,” I muttered under my breath, staring down at the small clinic intake photograph clipped inside the folder.Nyx Jackson stared back at me, her expression serious, almost irritated with whoever had taken the picture. I had looked at that photograph five times tonight, and I had no idea why.“She is out there unprotected,” Aethros snarled, his voice rising in volume until my ears rang. “Th

Nyx’s POV I froze, my breath catching in my throat. I remembered this feeling. I remembered it from fifteen years ago, and from every failed attempt after that. The sudden spill of warmth and wetness before the cramping started. The physical proof that my body had failed again. “Nyx?” Rhea asked, noticing the way I had gone still. “What is it?” “I’m bleeding,” I whispered, tears spilling over my eyelashes and mixing with the rain on my face. “Rhea, I’m bleeding. I’m losing it.” Fifteen years of losses rushed back into my mind like a wave of ice water. The doctors’ pitying looks. Adrien’s disappointment turning into resentment. The endless IVF treatments, the loans, the quiet crying in the bathroom so no one would hear me. I couldn’t lose this baby. I couldn’t go through that agony again. “Listen to me,” Rhea said, reaching out to grab my wrist with a weak grip. “You are not losing this baby. Do you hear me?” “I feel it, Rhea,” I said, my voice cracking. “I feel the wetness. It

Nyx’s Pov “Rhea!” I cried out. “Stay where you are, Nyx!” Rhea blurted out. She tried to push herself to her feet, but a gasp escaped her lips. Her knees gave out, and she collapsed back to the floor, her chest rising and falling heavily as one hand clutched her side. Dark, thick blood oozed through her fingers, staining her clothes. I felt my heart drop into my stomach. “Rhea…” I tried to move toward her, but a hand grabbed my shoulder, dragging me backward. “Not so fast, little bird,” a dark voice growled in my ear. “Get off her!” Rhea hissed from the floor, clutching her bleeding side as she tried in vain to raise a hand toward him. She let out a harsh, wet cough. “I can’t… I can’t stop the bleeding. They cut me with wolfsbane…” Panic crashed into me so hard it became difficult to breathe. In a burst of pure instinct, I locked my hands over my stomach to protect my baby, threw my weight backward, and slammed the back of my head directly into the man’s face. A sickening crunc

NYX’S POVFourteen days.That was how long I had been living above Rhea's diner.I rolled onto my back and stared at the cracked ceiling, listening to the laughter drifting up from the kitchen below. Dawn hadn't even broken yet and the diner was already alive but I wasn't.No matter how exhausted I was, sleep refused to come. Every time I closed my eyes, my mind found something else to worry about.It was either money, the baby or the stranger whose life had somehow become tied to mine.I let out a slow groan and buried my face into the pillow. "Why won't you just sign those damn papers?" I muttered, my voice sounding muffled against the pillow as I squeezed my eyes shut.For the past two weeks, I had done everything I could to avoid the one thing I knew I could not escape forever. Sooner or later… I would have to face Crux Matteo again and the thought alone made my stomach tighten.I still could not understand him. He had every reason to walk away. The pregnancy had happened because

Crux’s Pov Her scent lingered in the air, longer than it should have. It clung to the room. Even now, with the door closed and her gone, it pressed against my senses like she had never left. I stood where she had left me, taking in a slow breath before letting it out. Something about her had gotten under my skin and that had never happened before. "Breathe her in," Aethros said, sounding far too satisfied. His weight rested heavily against my chest, calmer than he had been in years. I reached up and loosened my tie, trying to shake the strange feeling crawling beneath my skin. “Something’s wrong,” I muttered. “With you,” he corrected. I frowned but he wasn't wrong. Nothing about today made sense. First, I learned I had somehow fathered a pup after years of believing I couldn't. Then the woman carrying that pup walked into my office on her own and instead of demanding money, protection, or a place beside me, she wanted me to disappear from the child's life. Who does
His Curse, Her Blood, Our Salvation Chapter 7
Nyx's Pov I had walked into that office telling myself I was not afraid... I was lying. But I had not survived twenty years with Adrien, a miscarriage, divorce papers, and being dragged out of my own home by guards, only to be undone by a rich man with anger issues. My fingers curled around the document in my hand hard enough to crease the edge. I smoothed it flat before anyone could see. He was not what I had prepared myself for either, he was younger than his reputation should have allowed. He was handsome with a sharp jaw and sharp eyes. And then his eyes--- I had never seen eyes like that in my life. My stomach turned over once but I kept my face still. "Everyone out," he ordered, his voice calm. The secretary was through the door before the second word landed. Reyes, I had caught the name — lingered a half-second longer, his eyes cutting to me like a warning, then he was gone too. As the doors clicked shut, I walked to his desk and carefully placed the docume
