Talia’s POV

The afternoon sun sat high over the courtyard when Della and I carried our tools to the rose garden. The beds had gone unchecked while I was in the hospital, so we started with the row that had the most dead blooms and weeds. Della constantly grumbled about how hot it was and how she should've never agreed to this.

“So,” Della said as she yanked out a weed, “is Leslie an old lady? Be honest. I keep picturing a tiny woman in ten shawls with a stick.”

“She is about our age,” I said. “

    Nolan’s POVI shook my head. "No, nothing new," I said quietly.There was never much to say. Leslie always asked about Talia, if anything was different. Every time, the truth was the same: nothing had changed."You've done a great job with them," Leslie said. "Whatever else is on your mind, remember that.""Honestly, they practically raised themselves," I replied, trying to smile.But the truth was, raising them hadn’t been easy, no matter how I tried to downplay it. There were nights when the twins cried for their mother, and all I could do was sit there feeling guilty and helpless. I tried to hide that from everyone, but Leslie saw through it."They didn't, and you know it," Leslie said, touching my arm. "When Talia wakes up and sees those kids, she'll be so glad it was you here."Leslie squeezed my hand, just for a second. “You’re too hard on yourself, Nolan.”I managed a crooked grin. “Aren’t we all?”She snorted. “Not like you.”"I hope you're right," I murmured.Marco walked up

    Nolan’s POVThe night before the twins' birthday, I could not fall asleep. I kept thinking about Talia and how she had never had the opportunity to celebrate with them. Five birthdays, and she missed every one. My wolf tried to comfort me. ‘She’ll wake up,’ he said. ‘She has to.’ I must have dozed off, because the next thing I knew, Nyla and Elian were climbing onto my bed, both grinning and bouncing.“Dad, wake up!” Nyla said, tugging on my arm. “It’s our birthday!”Elian flopped down next to me. “Come on, Dad! We want to open presents!”I groaned, rubbing my eyes. It was still dark outside but the chirping of the birds signaled the sun would be rising any minute. “It’s too early. Go back to sleep."Nyla giggled. “Miss Clara and Aunt Annie are making your favorite breakfast. They also got fresh roses for Mom.”"I can eat later," I grumbled."Get up! Get up!" they chanted as they jumped up and down on the bed."Fine. Fine. I'm getting up," I groaned.Once I got up and dressed, we wen

    Nolan’s POVFive years went by in a blur. Talia was still in the hospital. Every morning, after getting the twins ready for school, I visited her before going to my office. I held her hand and talked about the kids or the weather, hoping she could hear me. After that, I dove into work. Everyone in the pack knew I was a workaholic again.One afternoon, while working through a pile of paperwork in my office, there was a knock at my door. Before I could say anything, the door flew open. Elian and Nyla stood in the doorway with their backpacks. Elian was already grinning, like he knew he was about to get in trouble. Nyla looked sweet and a little nervous, just like always.“You two know you’re supposed to wait for permission before coming in,” I said, raising my eyebrows. My wolf’s voice was amused in my mind: ‘Elian’s just like you were, always breaking the rules. Nyla’s the little angel.’“Sorry, Dad,” Nyla said quickly. “ I told Elian we should knock and wait, but he just barged in.”E

    Nolan’s POVWhen we got back to Bloodmoon, I took Talia straight to the best hospital room. The nurses got her settled while I pulled the doctor aside."She needs to be watched all the time—IV fluids, check on her often, everything," I said."We’ll take good care of her," the doctor promised.I sat next to Talia’s bed and brushed her hair away from her face. She was pale, her breathing slow but steady. I bent forward and whispered, "Hey, Talia. We’re home. The twins are safe, and I will take care of them until you wake. Can you hear me?”I fought back the tears. Seeing her like that hurt. Once she was settled, I picked up the twins, one in each arm. They cooed and reached for my face. I tried to smile at them."You two are tougher than you look, huh?" I whispered.At the door, I told them, "Your mom’s going to be okay. She’s just sleeping for a while."I wasn’t sure if I was saying it for them or for myself. Back at the packhouse, everything looked even emptier. I put the twins in the

    Nolan’s POVAfter hours by Talia’s side, numb from crying, I sat on the edge of her bed with my head in my hands. The room was quiet except for the occasional cry from one of the twins in the nursery. I took a shaky breath and forced myself to calm down. I couldn’t fall apart now.Camilla came in. She sat down across from me, her face gentle but serious. “The coma is a side effect of the ritual. It happens, sometimes, when the body and spirit have been through so much,” she said.“Is that supposed to make me feel better?” I asked.Camilla paused before saying, “I thought it would help if you understood why it was happening.”‘Snapping at her will not help us,’ my wolf scolded.I looked up, pain twisting in my chest. “Is there anything we can do?”Camilla shook her head slowly. “Right now, all you can do is wait. Talia’s wolf needs time to recover. Maybe, when the twins are older, their blood could help awaken her. I know that sounds harsh, but it has worked before.”I nodded, swallow

    Nolan’s POVEverything blurred together as I rushed Talia down the hall. I held her close while she struggled to breathe. Her body was stiff with pain. We burst into the hospital room. Hattie looked up, eyes wide. "She’s in labor!" she said.Hattie pressed a button for help and pointed at the bed. "Lay her down here, quick!" My hands shook as I set Talia down. Hattie checked her pulse and started getting things ready. She called out, "Dalila, go get Camilla and the others! We need everyone!"“Stay with me,” Talia pleaded while she reached for my hand.Hattie pushed me toward the door. "Stop. She needs me to stay," I said, trying to resist."No, you can’t stay here," she said. "If you’re here, it’ll distract her from giving birth and it could mess up the rebirth ritual. You have to wait." She looked at me seriously. "Trust us, okay?"I wanted to argue, to beg Dalila to let me stay, but the look in her eyes told me it was over. My heart hurt. I nodded, stepped back, and let the door clo
