Chapter 21BIANCAMy phone buzzed in my pocket. Once. Twice. Three times in rapid succession, as if someone was blowing up my phone. I tried to ignore it, but the notifications kept coming, a sign that something was happening.I pulled out my phone, intending to silence it.Mia's name filled my screen. Another post. This time it was her and Matthew at what I immediately recognized as the Riverside Fertility Clinic, it was the same one whose email I'd seen on Matthew's computer.They were holding hands across a consultation desk.The caption made my vision blur for a moment: "Taking the first step toward my dream. With the support of the most amazing man. Sometimes miracles come in unexpected forms. 💕"I looked up from my phone, my hands shaking so badly I almost dropped it.The man in Louis's room was gone.I pressed closer to the window, searching the room, but there was only Louis now, looking so small and gray, his eyes closed, lying still on that hospital bed, monitors beeping f

Chapter 23BIANCA The beeping was what woke me up from the uneasy sleep that I had been in. I knew where I was before I even opened my eyes.Hospital bed. And this time, I was here as a patient.My head felt like someone had taken a hammer to it, and kept pounding without taking any breaks. I tried to open my eyes, but my vision was blurry, and the bright lights made my eyes hurt as I winced, closing it immediately."Easy." A deep voice, spoke startling me a bit, as I assumed that I was alone in the room. "Don't try to move too quickly. It will only hurt."I turned my head slowly and the first thing that my eyes caught sight of was my bag, that was lying on the chair beside the bed, it seemed that someone had brought it for me, In case I needed my phone or anything else. I could see that the divorce papers were still tucked inside, Then I realized I wasn't alone in bed.Someone was holding me. I could feel the weight of strong arms wrapped around mine. I immediately assumed it was M

Chapter 25MATTHEWI was in the middle of explaining to Bianca why her paranoia about Mia was destroying our family, because she was so focused on seeing things that wasn't there and was losing fact about what was real when my phone rang. The screen lit up with Mia's name, and I felt the familiar pull, that I always got when it involved Mia, the need to make sure that she was doing fine and wasn't needing a medical emergency."It's Mia," I said, moving toward the window to create some distance from Bianca's stare, which seemed to be accusing me of things that I was innocent of. I wanted to leave the room, to have this call on private, BIanca wasn't privy to listen to your personal conversation but the hospital corridor outside was busy, which was full of the usual chaos that seemed to be a daily routine here and I wouldn't be able to hear what Mia was saying with the background sound, so I decided to answer the call here instead. Here being the lesser evil of the two options.I answer

Chapter 27BIANCAI stared at the papers in my hands, my eyes couldn't believe what I was seeing, the fact that I had actually gotten Matthew o sign the divorce papers. He hadn't even bothered to take a minute and read them. He hadn't even paused to see what he was signing. Just scribbled his name like he was approving a grocery list and walked away to rescue his precious Mia.My hands shook as I took the pen and signed my own name as well on the line underneath his. I exhaled as I felt the ink glow a bit signifying that the divorced papers were finally recognized and the process could finally start. Thirty days from now, the mate bond would shatter, and I'd be free.I was reaching for my phone to call Marcus, to inform him that I had managed to get his signature, so we can move on with the next step when the door opened and Rivera walked in, carrying a takeout bag that smelled like actual food instead of the manageable meals that the hospital cafeteria normally made."I saw a man in

Chapter 29BIANCA"The catch," Rivera said, leaning back in his chair with an expression that looked gentle despite his burly apperance , "is that you owe me. Not money, all i need from you is just your commitment to saving my son. You stay in BloodMoon City, you continue treating Louis until the curse is completely broken, and you use every bit of your abilities to make sure he survives."I studied his face, looking for deception in his eyes, that there was more to it than saving his son. But all I saw was a father desperate to save his child. I understood that desperation intimately, after all, I was a parent too.Before Mia had stolen Theo from me."That's it?" I asked carefully. "I heal Louis, and in exchange, you give me a new life?""That's it." Rivera's phone suddenly rang, interrupting our conversation. He glanced at the screen, and his entire demeanor shifted. "Excuse me, I need to take this."He answered, listened for a moment, then stood abruptly from the chair as he spoke
