Masuk“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
At that moment, Amelia knew that if she didn’t stop him, he was going to drain her dry and eventually kill her. Aiden, on the other hand, remained unconscious, but somewhere deep within the darkness consuming him, he felt something change. It felt as though life was slowly flowing back into his body. Like a cool breeze moving through a place that had been burning for too long. The sensation was peaceful at first. Gentle. Then warmth spread through him. It crawled slowly up his spine, breathing life into every part of him that had been slowly shutting down. For the first time since the True Alpha’s venom had entered his body, he didn’t feel cold. But the thirst… The thirst was unbearable. Even in his unconscious state, his body craved more. It felt as though he had been starving for centuries, as though Amelia’s blood was the only thing in the entire world capable of keeping him alive. The moment he tasted it, something deep inside him awakened. And he didn’t wa
Amelia stared at Aiden’s face one more time before slowly reaching for the oxygen mask covering his nose and mouth. She carefully removed it, her hands trembling slightly as she looked at him. He was pale, motionless, and barely holding on. “What are you trying to do? Have you gone out of your mind?” James immediately stepped forward, panic flashing across his face. Before he could get any closer, Seraphina grabbed his arm and held him back. “She’s going to feed him her blood,” Seraphina said. James turned sharply toward her, staring as though she had completely lost her mind. “Her blood? He’s dying…he’s practically already dead…and you think feeding him her blood is going to save him?” Seraphina’s grip tightened around his wrist. “Watch your tone when you speak to me, boy,” she said coldly. James immediately groaned as pain shot through his wrist. His eyes widened as he looked at Seraphina. She didn’t even look like she was using much strength, yet he could barely mov
Tears slipped down his cheeks again, and before Kael could say anything else, Damien turned and began walking away. “Damien,” Beta Kael called after him. But Damien didn’t stop. Kael immediately followed him. Whatever happened between them, Damien was still his son, and Kael knew his son was walking away with a heart that had just been shattered. Meanwhile, Amelia stood outside the emergency ward with her hand pressed against her chest. She stared at the closed door in front of her, but her body refused to move. Her legs suddenly felt too heavy. Behind that door was Aiden. Aiden, who was lying there because of her. Aiden, who had risked his life to bring her back. Aiden, who had been bitten and clawed by the woman he loved while trying to save her. And somewhere behind her was Damien, crying because of the decision she was about to make. Guilt pressed heavily against Amelia’s chest. For Damien. For Aiden. For Arthur. For everything. Seraphina slowly
“I said come inside with me…”“Are you sure?” he asked softly, almost like he didn’t believe her.“Yes,” she snapped, though her voice trembled. “Just come. Stop asking questions…unless you’d rather stay out here alone…”Aiden gave a small nod and followed her. She pushed the front door open and st
“Dad…” Aiden called, his brows furrowed as he spotted his father standing stiffly outside the ward where his blood sample had been taken. His chest tightened with unease. What was his father doing here? How did he even know? He wasn't surprised since he was in the hospital with his wife and news fl
Meanwhile, Aiden’s car came to stop in front of the hospital, James and Aiden both inside the car. They alighted the car immediately and walked inside the hospital in a rush. They had left this morning after they were called for an emergency only to receive a call now that Ethan was poisoned and ha
Meanwhile, in a vast chamber, the council had gathered. A long table stretched across the room, its polished surface catching the flickering light of torches mounted on the walls. Heavy chairs lined both sides, every Elder already seated. The air was thick, almost suffocating, with judgment and ant
