2026-07-12 17:26:00We stayed in the cave four hours. Cold, damp, cramped. Caelum fell asleep in my lap, worn out by adrenaline, while Mara and I sat watching the entrance for any sign they'd circle back.
"Who could be doing this," I said finally. Not really a question. Mara didn't treat it like one.
"Do you think it's my st

She'd survivedit and itwas more than I'd expected.I run between the trees, stood in the shadows and watched her car disappear down the winding road.I allowed myself a small smile.What a fool she was, I thought
Too Late To Claim Me 59. The Hunter's Game
AriaThe figure stepped into the moonlight, and for one breathless moment, I had thought that I was looking at a ghost.He was tall and broad-shouldered, with his face half-hidden in the shadow. He held himself, like a man who'd spent his entire life expecting to be attacked."Who are you?" I called out, trying to keep my voice calm. "Why did you bring me here?"The figure didn't answer."Who are you?" I called out again, my voice sounding steadier and calmer than I felt.The figure didn't answer. He just simply turned and began walking away, he then disappeared into the shadows of the ruins."Wait!" I rushed forward, my heart pounding fast. "Please, I just want to talk!"But he kept walking, his footsteps were silent on the broken stones. I followed him, my legs carrying me forward before my mind even could catch up."Please," I called out again. "I already came all this way. I just want to know who you are. Please I just want to know what you know."There was still no answer. The
Too Late To Claim Me 58. The Letter.
Three days passed in a blur of tests and visits.Marcus came every morning, checking my vitals, tracking the poison's progress on a chart he never quite let me see the numbers on. "It hasn't spread," he told me each time, the same steady reassurance. "That's still a good sign, whatever the lab results end up saying.""Still no idea what it actually is?""Not yet. But no spread means we're winning the waiting game, at least for now."Caelum spent his days in the courtyard under Mara's watch, drawing pictures of birds and presenting each one to Marcus with the solemnity of a museum curator unveiling a masterpiece. Marcus accepted every si
Too Late To Claim Me 57. What He Couldn't Save
After Caelum had fallen asleep again, worn out by the excitement of the day, Dr. Nolan and I sat in silence.The room had gone dim, lit only by the soft glow of the monitor beside my bed, its steady rhythm the only sound besides our own breathing. Caelum was curled on his cot across the room, stuffed wolf clutched to his chest, breathing slow and even, blessedly unaware of the conversation about to happen a few feet away from him."There's something I've been meaning to tell you," Nolan said finally, breaking a silence that had stretched long enough to feel deliberate.My heart rate ticked up. "What is it?"He was quiet a moment, eyes f
Too Late To Claim Me 56. The Weight of Secrets
AriaThe evening sun went down came slowly.I'd spent the afternoon watching Caelum sleep, with his small body curled against my side, his breathing coming out in a soft and even rhythm.The rise and fall of his chest was a rhythm I'd memorized over the years, it's a kind of a lullaby that could soothe my nervese, even on my most ragged days.But today, even that familiar comfort couldn't quiet the storm that was raging inside me.Dr. Nolan knew what I was.He'd seen through my carefully constructed disguise, and had chosen to protect me instead of exposing me.My question was why. And what did he want in return?I'm in doubt because I had learned the hard way that nothing in this world came for free. Every kindness had a price, and every ally had an agenda.The only person I'd ever trusted completely was myself, and even I had failed me and again."Mummy?"Caelum's voice was soft, and still thick with sleep. He blinked up at me, with his gray eyes unfocused for a moment before sharp
Too Late To Claim Me 55. Goodbye, Hero Doctor
"Are you coming back?" Caelum asked, tilting his head up at Dr. Nolan. "After you check on Mummy?""This evening," Dr. Nolan said. "I have a few more patients to see first. But I'll swing by before I leave for the night.""Okay." Caelum nodded like he was filing the information somewhere important. "I'll wait here. We can talk about birds.""I'll look forward to it."Dr. Nolan straightened, and his eyes found mine, holding there a beat longer than the moment strictly required. Something passed behind them I couldn't quite read, not quite a warning, not quite tenderness, something caught in the space between the two.
