I paced back and forth outside Room 402, my hands clenched into tight fists at my sides. Every fiber of my being was coiled in raw terror. Inside that room, my son lay unconscious, hooked to a battery of monitoring equipment while top-tier specialists fumbled through emergency protocols.

Suddenly, the doors at the end of the corridor blew open.

Dr. Liliana Quinn swept into the ward like a gathering storm.

  • The Ex-Luna's Return: No Longer His Doormat   ~ 71

    ~ 71 ~~ Mia ~I walked up the stone steps of the manor, my mind replaying the way Nick had flinched when I snapped at him.The heavy front door swung open, and the cold guilt weighing on my chest vanished instantly, replaced by surprise.Hailey was curled up in the large cushioned window seat of the front sitting room. Her legs were tucked under an oversized blanket, and a glowing phone was pressed tightly to her ear."No, absolutely not," Hailey was saying, her voice bubbling over with bright, uninhibited laughter. "That is not what a beta protocol means and you know it. You just made that up on the spot to win the argument."I stopped dead in my tracks in the doorway.I had known Hailey for a while now, but I had never heard her use that tone with any man alive — soft, teasing, completely unguarded, and humming with unmistakable warmth.The person on the other end murmured something low in response.Hailey let out another bright, genuine laugh, shaking her head. "You are incorrigib

    ~ 70 ~~ Mia ~The weekend turned out to be the best two days I had spent in East Lake since my return.Nick woke up before the sun. When I walked into the kitchen, he was already sitting at the counter, wearing an oversized white lab coat that hung down past his knees. The sleeves were rolled up three times so his hands could actually poke out."Good morning, Dr. Quinn," Nick announced brightly, holding up a small stack of sticky notes. "I'm ready for laboratory duty."I couldn't help the small smile that touched my lips. "Eat your breakfast first, junior scientist. Lab coats don't replace eggs.""I am eating!" he insisted, taking a massive bite of toast while frantically flipping through a medical pamphlet. "Can we check the neural slides today? You promised.""We will," I said, pouring myself a cup of coffee. "Only if you finish your oatmeal."By noon, we were deep inside the annex laboratory. Nick shadowed me from station to station, looking like a tiny scientist swallowed by over

    ~ 69 ~~ Mia ~The first weekend arrangement began on a bright Saturday morning. I sat behind the wheel of the delegation sedan, my hands resting on the steering wheel as I parked in the circular drive of the East Lake estate. Darian had sent two messages at eight o'clock offering to have Kade drive Nick down, or to bring the boy himself. I rejected both options. I refused to let Darian deliver our son to my doorstep, and I would not owe that manor a single favor. If I was going to reclaim my weekends with Nick, I was going to take him myself.The double doors of the manor swung open. Nick stepped out onto the stone portico. He wore a dark jacket and carried an overnight bag that looked too big for him. He had been packed since dawn, because the moment he saw my sedan, a smile broke across his face, and he started walking fast toward the car."Morning, Dr. Quinn!" Nick called out, taking two quick steps before a voice stopped him."Hold your ground, Nicholas," a cold voice said from t

    ~ 68 ~~ Mia ~The cold air hit my face as I stepped out of the delegation car and walked up the front steps of the manor. The door swung open before I could even reach for the brass handle, revealing Hailey standing in the dimly lit foyer.She wore an oversized silk robe, her dark hair pulled back into a messy knot, trying desperately to project an air of casual nonchalance."You're back late," Hailey said, crossing her arms over her chest, though her eyes darted nervously toward the doorway. "I figured you'd be at the hospital all night monitoring the ward. How is he? Is Nick going to be okay?""His fever broke," I replied, tossing my keys onto the side table and sinking heavily into an armchair. "It was acute stress exhaustion and a severe migraine episode. No mass, no permanent damage. He's resting.""Thank the Goddess," Hailey breathed, letting out a massive, trembling sigh of relief as she dropped onto the sofa opposite me. "You have no idea how terrified I was when that news re

    ~ 67 ~~ Mia ~The door of the private consultation room clicked shut, sealing us off from the sterile hum of the pediatric wing.“I am glad he is fine.” Darian stood by the small window, his broad shoulders tense under his dark shirt, his eyes fixed on me with an intensity that made the air in the small room feel heavy.“Yeah, me too,” I said dryly. The tone came out sharper than intended, born purely from the exhaustion of hours spent worrying over Nick and fighting to ensure he was safe.A fierce protective instinct surged through me. I would take charge of his care myself, because I refused to risk losing my son to the carelessness of his father and the neglect of the entire East Lake pack.I turned to excuse myself, but Darian stepped into my path."You can't keep building walls between us, Mia," Darian said, his voice dropping into a low, rough rumble. "Not after he almost slipped through our fingers.""I am not building walls," I replied, my voice hard and flat as I crossed my

Her dark hair was slightly disordered from the wind, her breath coming in shallow, ragged gasps, but the look in her eyes was pure, unadulterated lethal authority. She bypassed the nursing station before the head nurse could even look up."What are his current intracranial pressures?" Mia demanded, her voice ringing off the tile walls with absolute command.The attending physician stepped out of Room 402, blinking in shock. "Dr. Quinn, you can't… this is a restricted wing, and the family has…""I am a lead neural specialist," Mia
