LOGINSeraphina’s POVThe moment the door clicked shut behind Emelda, I turned to Caspian, still holding the blanket loosely around myself.“That was too harsh,” I said.Caspian, who was still lying on the bed slowly turned his head toward me.His expression was unreadable.“Too harsh?”I pulled the blanket closer around myself.“Yes.”His eyebrows rose and I immediately regretted opening my mouth, not because I didn’t mean what I said but because I knew that look. Caspian was already in one of his moods and apparently, I had just volunteered to make it worse.“Seraphina.”“What?”“She walked into our bedroom without knocking while we were in bed and then she stood there laughing.”I sighed. “I know Cas, but when you say it like that, it sounds bad.”His eyes narrowed.“That’s because It was bad.”I bit my lip…maybe he had a point but still…“She’s always been like that,” I continued. “Barging in, laughing at the wrong moments, It’s just who she is. I understand why you were angry, but you
Seraphina’s POVNo matter how hard I tried to focus on something else, my mind kept returning to my conversation with Emelda… her tears and the apology. The way she had looked at me when she promised she wanted to change.A part of me still didn’t trust her, maybe I was foolish for even considering it after everything Emelda had done, I had every reason to keep my distance.She had humiliated me publicly, blamed me for things I hadn’t done and tried to destroy my marriage when she brought Caspian’s former mate into our lives to separate us.There were moments when I still couldn’t believe how far she had gone but earlier that day something about her had seemed different or maybe I simply wanted to believe people could change.Then the bathroom door opened and Caspian stepped out, a towel draped over his shoulders his hair still damp from the shower, droplets trailing down the side of his neck.He paused the moment he saw my face.“You’re still thinking about her,” he said, not really
Laura’s POV“I need to see Maxwell,” I said, my voice hoarse but firm.The healer stepped in front of me immediately, blocking the doorway with her body like she thought that alone would be enough to stop me.“Laura, listen to me,” she said, her tone urgent. “You just survived a dangerous, premature delivery. Your body has been through trauma most people never recover from and If you try to walk right now in this condition you could collapse, you could start bleeding heavily again and that could lead to death.”“I don’t care,” I said, and I meant it.What did it matter if I collapsed? What did it matter if I bled out somewhere in that house? My son was already gone and there was nothing left in me that feared dying the way I once had.“He needs to see what he did,” I continued, my voice breaking slightly. “He needs to look at what his actions caused…he needs to see our baby.”She reached for my arm, trying one last time to stop me but I pulled away and gathered my son’s small body int
Laura’s pov I stared down at the tiny face in my arms.My beautiful little boy was so small and still.“Open your eyes.” I gently touched his cheek again. “Come on.” My lips trembled. “Open your eyes for Mama.” But he didn’t move. My breathing became uneven. I waited another second as if somehow If I waited long enough he would suddenly move.Maybe his tiny fingers would curl around mine or his little chest would rise or maybe he would cry…anything, just one sign that the healer was wrong but there was nothing.My baby remained completely still in my arms and somehow something inside me broke and I began sobbing uncontrollably. I bent over him, holding his tiny body against my chest.“I am sorry,” I whispered over and over. “I tried to save you. I am so sorry I could not protect you, Mommy tried... I fought as hard as I could. I am sorry…”I rocked him gently, my tears falling onto the cloth wrapped around his tiny body. My chest felt like someone had ripped my heart out.I had fa
Laura’s POVThe first thing I felt when I woke up was emptiness. My whole body felt heavy, sore in ways I couldn’t explain and there was a strange hollow feeling inside me that I couldn’t place at first.I slowly opened my eyes but I couldn't remember where I was. Then the memories came rushing back and my hands flew to my stomach. It was empty. Panic surged through me instantly.I looked around the room, my eyes finding the healer standing near the bed checking something on a small table. I pushed myself up slightly and pain immediately shot through my body.I gasped but I didn’t care.My hands moved across my stomach again.“My baby,” I said, my voice weak and cracked. “Where is my baby?”The healer turned toward me, and the moment I saw her face, my heart dropped.She hesitated.“Where is my baby?” I asked again, louder this time, panic clawing up my throat. “Did he survive? Tell me he survived.”The healer approached the bed with a sorrowful expression. Her voice was gentle, but
Laura’s POVPain, that was all I could feel.Pain in my stomach, pain in my back. Pain spreading through every part of my body as another contraction tore through me.I screamed.My fingers gripped the sheets beneath me as my body shook uncontrollably.“I can’t! I can’t do this anymore!” My voice broke.The healer midwife leaned over me, her expression focused.“Laura, look at me.” I forced my eyes open.“We need you to stay with us.”“I can’t.”“Yes, you can. You can.”She quickly examined me again. Then her expression changed.“Wait.”The nurses looked at her.“What is it?”The midwife checked again, her movements becoming faster. “She’s fully dilated.”My heart raced.“What?”“The pup is ready.”I stared at her in horror.“No.” My voice barely came out. “It’s too early.”“I know.” She took a breath. “But your pup is coming now.”Tears rolled down my cheeks. “I don’t have any strength.”“You don’t need to think about anything except the next push.” She positioned herself and instruc
Tricia / Seraphina’s POVI stared at him, waiting for him to laugh or to say it was a joke but Caspian didn’t instead he sat beside me waiting for my reply. “Are you insane?” The words ripped out of me, sharp and loud in the quiet hospital room.“Marriage? You want to marry me?,”“Yes,” he said si
CHAPTER 5Tricia's POVThe nurse looked genuinely scared and said this was a case of amnesia, but she didn't know why I was claiming another identity.She hurried off, saying she wanted to call the doctor.She added that the one who saved me had been among the guests at my husband's pack gathering
Tricia's POVFor a moment, I forgot how to breathe.This had to be some kind of twisted prank.My lips parted, ready to say something, anything, but before I could form a word, the room erupted into loud cheers."The Alpha has spoken!""She's perfect for him!""Now that's a true Alpha pair!"I stoo
Tricia's POV "Where's that fat fool who calls herself the Luna of the pack?” My mother-in-law's voice cut through the pack house hallway like it was meant for everyone inside.I froze mid-step as heat rushed up my neck, my fingers tightening at my sides while I slowly turned.She stood at the end
