Amelia slowly raised her head, her eyes following the gentle touch she had felt against her hair. For a moment, she remained completely still, afraid to look up. Afraid that if she did, whatever she was feeling would disappear and she would find herself staring at an empty bed again. Then her gaze slowly traveled upward. Her entire body froze. Aiden’s eyes were open. He was staring directly at her. For several seconds, Amelia couldn’t move. She simply stared at him, her tear-filled eyes searching his face as though trying to convince herself that what she was seeing was real. Her heart hammered painfully against her chest. Was she dreaming? Had grief finally made her lose her mind? She blinked once. Then again. But Aiden was still there. His brown eyes remained fixed on hers, and then, slowly, the corner of his lips lifted into a weak smile. Something inside Amelia shifted. Fresh tears immediately gathered in her eyes. “Aiden?” she whispered. Her voice

For a few seconds, she simply watched him. Alive. Actually alive. Aiden’s gaze then shifted toward Seraphina. The laughter slowly faded. Seraphina stood quietly near the door, her eyes resting on him. “I’m glad you’re alive, Aiden,” she said softly. Aiden nodded. “Thank you, Alpha Seraphina.” His eyes drifted toward Amelia again. And this time, he truly looked at her. Something about her seemed different. Her eyes were swollen from crying, but there was a strange glow around her now. Her skin looked brighter beneath the hospital lights, and even with her hair slightly messy and her hospital gown hanging loosely around her body, she looked breathtaking. Too breathtaking. Aiden immediately looked away. His wolf stirred inside him. The urge that suddenly rushed through him was overwhelming. He wanted to touch her again. Kiss her. Pull her against him. Bury his face in her neck and breathe in her scent. The desire to claim her was stronger than

Amelia walked out of the ward without looking back. The moment she stepped through the door, Seraphina and James both turned toward her. One glance at her face was enough to make them exchange a worried look. Her eyes were glassy, like she was trying to hold back tears. Neither of them asked what had happened. Amelia wouldn’t have been able to answer anyway. “Let’s go home, Mom,” Amelia whispered. Her voice was barely audible, but Seraphina heard it. She watched her daughter walk away, her shoulders stiff and her hands clenched at her sides as though she was holding herself together by force. “Amelia…” Seraphina called softly. Amelia didn’t stop. Seraphina glanced at James, who was still staring at the ward door. Something had clearly happened between them. Without another word, Seraphina hurried after her daughter. James remained outside for another second before pushing the door open. He immediately spotted Aiden. He was standing in the middle of the ward

“They are the reason Astrid survived!” Alpha Alaric’s growl tore through the silence of his study as he tightened his fists, his nails digging into his palms. His chest rose and fell heavily, his anger so intense that it seemed to burn through his entire body. But beneath that anger was something far more painful, something he was desperately trying to suppress. Aiden. His mind drifted to his son, and the image of Aiden lying helplessly in that hospital bed flashed through his mind. He had been told that his son was dead, and no matter how many times he repeated it to himself, he still couldn’t accept it. Aiden was his only son. His blood. His heir. And now he was gone. Because of Astrid and Amelia. Alaric’s jaw tightened as fresh tears gathered in his eyes. He quickly wiped them away with the back of his hand and clenched his teeth, refusing to allow himself to break down again. He had no time to mourn. Not yet. “They will all pay,” he whispered, his voice shaking wit

Meanwhile, Amelia walked through the hospital parking lot toward her car, with Seraphina following closely behind her. Her steps were slow, almost as though she were moving on instinct rather than actually thinking about where she was going. Her mind was still trapped inside that ward, replaying everything that had happened between her and Aiden. She glanced toward the spot where she had left her car the last time she was at the hospital. Thankfully, it was still there. Earlier, she had stopped by her office and changed out of the hospital gown into a fresh outfit she had left there. She had also found her car keys on the desk in her office, something she had been grateful for because she didn’t have the strength to deal with anything else. Amelia reached for the driver’s door, but before she could open it, Seraphina gently caught her hand. “Amelia, where are you going?” she asked. “My car,” Amelia replied quietly, keeping her gaze fixed somewhere beyond her mother’s sh
