Yvonne's POV

I slowly awoke, trying to figure out what it was that had stirred me out of a deep sleep. I didn’t have to pee, which was what usually woke me up.

I lay awake a few minutes before I decided it must have been nothing and closed my eyes, hoping to sleep a few more hours.

“Ow,” I muttered when a sharp pain ripped across my lower back.

That was when I knew. I sat up, rubbing my lower back. I propped my pillows against the headboard and lay against them, staring at the clock that silently announced it was three o’clock in the morning. I waited, my eyes sliding closed until another sharp pain cut across my back, wrapping around to envelope my stomach in a vise. My eyes went to the clock. It had been ten minutes. I flipped on the bedside lamp.

“Kylian,” I whispered, gently touching his bare shoulder.

“Hmm.” He moaned, still half asleep.

“Kylian,” I whispered again.

He rolled to his back, blinking as he looked up at me. “What is it? Hungry?” he asked.

I smiled and shook my head.
