Aurora’s POVThe sixth day broke something inside me.Not loudly. Not suddenly. Just slowly… like a thread snapping after being stretched too far.Liam still hadn’t woken up.I sat beside him, staring at his face, searching for something—anything—that would tell me he was still fighting. A twitch. A breath. A change. But there was nothing. Just the same stillness. The same quiet.My fingers tightened around his.“This isn’t fair,” I whispered.My voice sounded hollow even to me.“I came back… I woke up… I fought… and you’re still gone.”The frustration had been building for hours—maybe days. I couldn’t tell anymore. My chest felt tight, my thoughts restless, my emotions swinging between anger and fear so quickly it made me dizzy.“You don’t get to leave me like this!” I snapped suddenly, my voice louder than I intended.Everyone in the room looked up.Lucious stepped forward carefully. “Aurora—”“No,” I said sharply. “Don’t tell me to calm down. Don’t tell me he needs time. It’s been

Chapter 193 Aurora He was still scared. I could see it in his eyes. Not fear of death. Fear of himself. Fear that he had failed me too deeply to deserve coming back. And that broke me. How could someone so strong look so shattered? How could the man who carried everyone’s pain believe he was unworthy of love? My chest ached as I stepped closer to him carefully. “Liam…” I whispered softly. “Do you know what my greatest fear is?” His eyes lifted to mine slowly, vulnerable in a way I had never seen before. Not as an Alpha. Not as a king. Just… as the man I loved. “Living in a world where you no longer exist.” His expression cracked instantly. Pain flashed across his face, raw and unguarded. Tears blurred my vision as I held his gaze. “You think loving you ruined my life?” My voice trembled. “You think you brought me nothing but pain?” I shook my head slowly. “Before you, I was only surviving.” A tear slipped down my cheek. “I woke up every day just trying to make i

Chapter 195 Liam Months had passed since I opened my eyes and found Aurora beside me. Sometimes, I still woke in the middle of the night and reached for her before I was fully awake. And every time my hand found her warmth, I remembered that she was still here. So was I. We had survived. Not untouched. Not unchanged. But together. The kingdom had begun to bloom again. The broken walls had been rebuilt, the wounded had healed, and the laughter that had once disappeared from our halls had slowly returned. Even the omegas, who had carried more responsibility during the war than anyone gave them credit for, had become more involved in the rebuilding of the kingdom. I made sure their voices were heard now. They had taught me something I would never forget: strength wasn’t always found on a battlefield. Sometimes, it was found in the hands of someone preparing food for hundreds of wolves. Sometimes, it was in the wisdom of someone who knew exactly where supplies were

Chapter 197 Liam’s POV For the first time in what felt like a lifetime, we were all sitting together without anyone bleeding. That alone felt strange. Aurora sat beside me on the long sofa, her enormous belly resting comfortably against her thighs. I had one arm around her, my thumb lazily tracing circles over her shoulder. Across from us, Lucious was sitting with Bella tucked against his side. Cassidy was there too, laughing at something Lucious had said. It was peaceful. Ridiculously peaceful. I looked around at them and found myself smiling. These were the people I had nearly lost. My brother. My mate. My closest friends. The people who had stood beside me when everything fell apart. “Do you ever think about how ridiculous we all are?” Cassidy suddenly asked. Lucious frowned. “What do you mean?” “We’re sitting here like normal people.” Bella laughed. “After everything we’ve been through.” Cassidy shook her head. “Exactly. We survived a wa
