LOGINDante DominicRenee appeared the next morning with a woman beside her. She looked like an older nurse with silver-streaked hair. "Her name is Margaret," Renée said, smoothing an invisible wrinkle from the woman's collar. "She's worked with three billionaire families in the past decade. She's discreet, professional, and she was available immediately. I thought she could help with the twins while you... while we figure things out with Lori."I looked at the woman and she met my gaze without flinching, which made me understand that she wasn't human, but a werewolf like us. I felt slightly relieved."You understand the situation?" I asked."Your wife is in a coma. You have newborn twins. You need someone who can handle night feedings and other things." She said it as a matter-of-fact. "I've handled worse, Mr. Dominic. I'll take care of your children like they were my own."I felt myself steadily relaxing. "Alright" I looked up at Renee. "Since you're certain that she is good, I'll have t
Dante Dominic"They look like her," Marcus said from the doorway, his arms folded across his chest. He has been coming and going all morning, handling the things I couldn't handle myself. "They have her mouth." I agreed as I traced my daughter's cheek with the back of my finger. "Her stubbornness, probably. She kicked the nurse during her first checkup."Marcus let out a little laugh, but his expression quickly morphed into concern, like always. "Are you sure you're alright, man?"I nodded without thinking about the question. I wasn't because I let Lori down, and I would never forgive myself for that. Marcus was about saying something else when my phone rang, interrupting us. I checked my phone and the fall was from my father.I sighed heavily, contemplating whether to answer it or not, but it wouldn't look good on me because he was the one currently sponsoring the hospital stay. Not like I couldn't do it myself with my own money, but he had insisted, saying that the money was still
Janie CraneThe news reached me through my personal maid that Lori was in a coma. The twins had survived. And Silas....my Silas... had lost his Alpha title and was preparing to fight for it in the traditional trials."How terribly unfortunate," I said, setting down my teacup, and a small smile spread across my face. "For her, I mean."The maid, a mousy little thing named Elara who had been with me since before the miscarriage, nodded eagerly. "It's all over the pack, Luna. They're saying she might not wake up at all."I savored the information. "That sounds really beautiful, doesn't it?""Terrible," Elara agreed.I rose from my chair and walked to the window. Outside, the pack grounds stretched toward the treeline, golden in the afternoon sun. It should have been mine forever. The title, the land, the respect... All of it, slipping through my fingers because my body had betrayed me."You know what the worst part is?" I said quietly. "Even now, Silas still loves her. Even after everyth
Silas Crane"It's almost the middle of the night, and I still have a lot of paperwork on my table." I sighed heavily, staring at my best friend who perched on my windowsill. "Don't you ever get tired of acting like a child? When would you—""Well, at least I'm not losing my mind." He shrugged with a mocking smile on his face. "I just got news, but I don't know if you would like it or hate it. So... I'm still contemplating.""What news? More people are coming out to challenge me for my position? Like the three hundred people here are not enough.""Look, bro, it's sad enough that you have three hundred people to fight within the next three weeks, which is why I don't think you'll be able to handle what I'm about to tell you. So..." He made to leave, but I understood what he was doing. Baiting me. He was really good at it."Fine... What is it?" I closed the document on the table and pushed it aside. I had been staring at it for hours without understanding a word, so I think a distraction
RenéeThe hospital's bathroom was thankfully empty when I slipped inside and took myself to the farthest stall, pressing my forehead against the cold metal door, breathing slowly until my heart stopped racing. The performance in Lori's room had been exhausting. All those tears and false grief...and for what? The bitch wasn't even dead.Yet...I fished out my phone from my bag and called Mila immediately, and her voice was still panicked when she answered."You did a good job today, Mila." I told her, smiling to myself even when she couldn't see me."I heard...." She swallowed hard from the other end. "I heard that she is in a coma. One of the nurses called on the boss' orders, or his friends to prepare that Lori has given birth. The babies are alive?" Her voice lowered at the last part."Unfortunately..." I said more to myself than to her. "But it isn't something to worry about because we can always control the things at this point. Everything has gotten easier for us. Do you get?""W
MarcusI cancelled all my meetings for the rest of the week because I knew that I needed to be at Dante's side. But first, I was still pissed that I hadn't been able to reach him at once, and when he came, it was almost two hours after I had called him.I had left him with the doctor, and I had to get a nurse to point me in the direction where Lori was now staying with the children. I hated hospitals because of how it was scented.I found Dante hunched over and kneeling in front of Lori's bed, and I felt my heart drop to the floor because I had never seen my friend this broken before. One hand was stretched towards her still fingers, his eyes fixed on her as if it would make her wake up out of sheer desperation. "Dante." I kept my voice low. "We need to talk."But he didn't seem to hear me, like he was somewhere really far from me right now. I pulled the second chair in the room closer to him and sat down heavily. Apart from cancelling my meetings, I spent the last hour on the phone
Lori's POVI couldn't stop thinking about him, even after practice was over and we went back home in separate cars. And every time his face came up at the back of my mind, I always felt my heart racing for no reason at all. Maybe there was a reason... Maybe it was because of the memory of his finge
Lori's POV "You will be starting immediately as the team's medic. I will give you our training schedules." He paused and met my eyes from across the breakfast table. "I'm sure you're already well aware of it, but for formality sake." His cutlery barely made any noise on his plate. "Don't be late.
Lori's POV "I'll need you to carefully read the terms and conditions of the contract before you sign it." He slipped the document on the hospital bed where I was having my breakfast. "I don't do second chances."His voice was hard and cold the same way it had been last night, and he towered over m
Lori's POV "My children, oh my goodness. Are they... Are they...?" I sat up immediately, my hands moving around my belly, trying to see if I was feeling any pain there, if they were fine, if they were—"Your babies are fine, ma'am. Which is a miraculous thing after all your body has been through."
