เข้าสู่ระบบFor a few seconds, she simply watched him. Alive. Actually alive. Aiden’s gaze then shifted toward Seraphina. The laughter slowly faded. Seraphina stood quietly near the door, her eyes resting on him. “I’m glad you’re alive, Aiden,” she said softly. Aiden nodded. “Thank you, Alpha Seraphina.” His eyes drifted toward Amelia again. And this time, he truly looked at her. Something about her seemed different. Her eyes were swollen from crying, but there was a strange glow around her now. Her skin looked brighter beneath the hospital lights, and even with her hair slightly messy and her hospital gown hanging loosely around her body, she looked breathtaking. Too breathtaking. Aiden immediately looked away. His wolf stirred inside him. The urge that suddenly rushed through him was overwhelming. He wanted to touch her again. Kiss her. Pull her against him. Bury his face in her neck and breathe in her scent. The desire to claim her was stronger than
The sound was shaky, but it was the first genuine laugh that had escaped her since she had watched the line on his monitor go flat. “And this would be the second time you’re saving my life,” Aiden said, his lips curving slightly. “Or should I say the third?” Amelia gave him a small smile. “You’re counting?” “I have to.” His gaze softened. “I need to know how many times I owe you my life.” Amelia’s eyes remained locked with his. The room seemed to disappear around them. Aiden slowly raised his hand and placed it against her cheek. Amelia’s breathing immediately changed. His palm was warm against her skin. His thumb slowly brushed over her cheekbone. Neither of them said anything. They didn’t need to. The air between them suddenly felt different. Heavy. Charged. Amelia could feel the mate bond pulsing deep inside her. It was stronger now. Far stronger than it had ever been before. Her heartbeat quickened as Aiden slowly leaned closer. His ey
Amelia slowly raised her head, her eyes following the gentle touch she had felt against her hair. For a moment, she remained completely still, afraid to look up. Afraid that if she did, whatever she was feeling would disappear and she would find herself staring at an empty bed again. Then her gaze slowly traveled upward. Her entire body froze. Aiden’s eyes were open. He was staring directly at her. For several seconds, Amelia couldn’t move. She simply stared at him, her tear-filled eyes searching his face as though trying to convince herself that what she was seeing was real. Her heart hammered painfully against her chest. Was she dreaming? Had grief finally made her lose her mind? She blinked once. Then again. But Aiden was still there. His brown eyes remained fixed on hers, and then, slowly, the corner of his lips lifted into a weak smile. Something inside Amelia shifted. Fresh tears immediately gathered in her eyes. “Aiden?” she whispered. Her voice
“Come back,” she whispered. No response. Her vision blurred with tears. “Please, Aiden…” She tried once more. “Clear!” Aiden’s body jerked against the bed. Then everything went still again. Amelia stared at him. Her arms slowly dropped to her sides. The strength finally left her body. “No…” Her knees gave way beneath her. Seraphina immediately rushed forward, but Amelia had already collapsed beside the bed. She fell to her knees and grabbed the edge of the mattress, her entire body shaking as tears poured down her face. “No, no, no…” She buried her face against the side of the bed. “Aiden…” Her shoulders shook violently as she cried. “You can’t leave me. You can’t save me and then leave just like that.” Her fingers tightened around the sheets. “You promised.” Slowly, Amelia lifted her tear-stained face and looked at him again. “You promised Arthur…” Her voice broke as she reached for his hand and held it tightly between both of hers. “
He doesn’t want to live. Why? Amelia slowly took a step backward. Her lips parted. “Why wouldn’t he want to live?” She whispered to herself. Her eyes remained fixed on Aiden. “I thought he still loved me…” Her breathing became shaky. “He’s Arthur’s father…” Her voice broke. “And…” She staggered backward. Seraphina immediately grabbed her arm to steady her. “He loves Arthur…” Amelia whispered. The confusion in her eyes slowly turned into something deeper. Something painful. “If he loves us… why wouldn’t he want to live?” Before anyone could answer her, the door to the ward suddenly flew open. Doctors and nurses rushed inside. “Move aside!” “Give us space!” James immediately stepped away from the bed. The doctors surrounded Aiden. Seraphina gently pulled Amelia farther away and helped her back toward the chair. Amelia sat down slowly. Her body felt weak. But she couldn’t take her eyes off him. Doctors moved around his bed. Nu
Seraphina watched her closely. She knew exactly what was happening. The mate bond between Amelia and Aiden had resurfaced. But this time… It was stronger. Far stronger than before. Seraphina’s heart tightened painfully. This was exactly why she had never wanted to tell Amelia about the cure. She knew what sharing her blood with Aiden would do. The connection between them was already powerful because they were mates. They had already loved each other once. They had already shared a life. And now Amelia had willingly given him her blood to save his life. Seraphina slowly stood. Her eyes drifted toward Aiden. Aiden had hurt Amelia too much. He had broken her heart. Destroyed her trust. And Seraphina hated the thought of her daughter being pulled back toward him again because of a bond neither of them could completely control. She took a deep breath. Her gaze shifted toward James. He stood beside Aiden’s bed, staring at him desperately. Waitin
“You will marry that girl, Rachel—or Amelia’s family dies,” Alpha Alaric said coldly.Aiden’s eyes widened, disbelief flashing across his face. “What?” The word escaped him before he could stop it.Alaric smirked slightly, the expression cruel and calm. “I know how much you love Amelia,” he said, v
Aiden froze the moment his eyes met Beta Greg’s.For a heartbeat, the world went still. The sound of rustling leaves faded, the whisper of the evening wind fell silent — and all that existed was the ghost of what used to be between them.Greg’s eyes were tired, colder than Aiden remembered. His onc
“No, Alpha. He is not. It is my choice to marry you, and it’s an honor…” Racheal said softly, her voice trembling but steady enough to hold conviction.Aiden stared at her for a long moment, his expression unreadable, before he turned away. His jaw tightened.“Show her to her room,” he said finally
It was evening when Cassia’s eyes fluttered open. A dull ache throbbed behind her head as her vision slowly adjusted to the dim light filtering through the curtains. She groaned softly, her body heavy as if weighed down by stones. Her hand fumbled for her phone beside her pillow.6:30 p.m.Her brai
