SERA'S POVThat morning we left for Spokane.The four-hour drive felt shorter than I expected. Maybe because Gabriel drove calmly, maybe because I spent half the trip sleeping. Or maybe because I was too nervous thinking about the first checkup with a specialist.Sacred Heart Hospital turned out to be bigger than I imagined. A white building towering with blue windows reflecting the morning sky. I held Gabriel's hand tightly as we walked from the parking lot.He wore a baseball cap and sunglasses. His hair now reached his shoulders, his beard was thick and unkempt, and his skin was slightly darker from working under the sun. A faded flannel shirt, worn-out jeans, leather boots that were starting to peel.He didn't look like Gabriel Bloodfang at all.He looked like an ordinary man. A working man. A man who was exhausted but kept going.At the hospital entrance, there was a large glass door. Automatic. Gabriel walked through it, then suddenly stopped.I almost ran into his back."Gabrie

That night, after Gabriel cut his hair and shaved his beard, something shifted between us.It wasn't just his appearance, back to how he used to be, young, sharp, handsome with that perfectly sculpted jaw. It was also the way he looked at me. There was fire there. A fire that had been out for so long, now burning again.We ate dinner in comfortable silence. I sat at the kitchen chair, enjoying his homemade chicken soup, this time better than usual, maybe because he had more time or maybe because he was trying to make me happy. Every now and then he'd glance at me, smile a little, then go back to his food.After eating, he cleared the dishes without being asked. I watched his movements. The way he walked, the way he turned around in that narrow kitchen, the way his t-shirt sleeves tightened when he lifted the pot.Everything reminded me of our first nights together. Those nights in that luxury apartment, when he was still the feared Gabriel Bloodfang, and I was still innocent, curious

GABRIEL'S POVI sped away from that grocery store. In the rearview mirror, the old building grew smaller, then disappeared around the bend. My chest felt tight, not because I was out of breath, but because I knew our time in this town was up.When I got home, Sera was sitting on the front porch. Her big belly made it hard for her to move freely. Her face was pale, her eyes tired, and I could see how exhausted she was."Gabriel?" She stood up with difficulty, reading my expression. "What's wrong? Why are you home early?"I turned off the engine, got out, and walked toward her without saying a word. I hugged her, feeling her big belly press against mine, feeling small kicks from inside."We have to leave," I whispered.She was quiet. Not surprised, as if she'd already expected it."Hendricks knows who I am. He won't report me, but sooner or later someone else will find out. We can't stay here anymore.""Where to?""Abroad. Canada or Europe. Somewhere the pack has no influence.""I can't

GABRIEL'S POVI stood in that hallway for two hours, leaning against the cold wall, staring at the operating room door that never opened. Sometimes I sat in the uncomfortable plastic chair, then stood up again, then paced back and forth, then sat down again.I couldn't lose her.I wouldn't be able to live without her.I'd already lost so much in my life.If she left, what was the point of me holding on?I clasped my own hands, trying to stop the shaking. It didn't work.The door opened.I stood up tense.Dr. Chen walked out.I stepped closer. "How is she?"She took a long breath. "All three babies survived."I didn't know whether to laugh or cry. The babies were alive. My children were alive. But why was the doctor's expression still flat? Why wasn't she smiling?"All boys, all healthy. One of them is a bit smaller than his two brothers, but no serious issues. They're in the NICU for observation.""And Sarah?" My voice was hoarse.Dr. Chen was quiet."Doctor? HOW IS SARAH?"She looked

SERA'S POVThe first sound I heard was the sound of machines.The second sound was the sound of breathing. Heavy breathing, sometimes broken, like someone trying to hold back tears.I tried to open my eyes. My eyelids felt heavy, as if weighed down by a thousand tons. White light pierced my retina, making me blink several times before finally getting used to it.White ceiling, fluorescent lights, the smell of antiseptic.I was in a hospital.I tried to remember what happened. The black cars that surrounded us, then the pain in my stomach. Seizures, panic, then Gabriel carrying me to the car.I turned my head slowly. My neck hurt. There was a stinging sensation on its left side, like a fresh wound, but I didn't care.Next to the bed sat Gabriel.He was crying.Gabriel Bloodfang, the man who never showed weakness, who always stood strong in front of anyone, who used to destroy enemies without blinking, he was crying. Tears streamed down his face, wetting his cheeks that had started to s
