LeoraCharlotte walked into the room and gave me a smile. A kiss on the forehead made my heart swell. It felt too good to have someone make me feel important. No one had done this before—not even Coda when I had gone into the infirmary a few times before."How are you holding up, dear?""Good. I thought I would be sore, but with my wolf having the power to heal me, I feel fine."She nodded, still smiling, before her eyes fell on my son. "He is so perfect.""Do you want to hold him?"A small gasp escaped her lips, and her eyes sparkled with tears as she held out her arms. The transfer was easy; she cradled my son to her chest and leaned down close enough to rub her nose against his. "Hello there, little one. You are so handsome. I've been waiting to meet you."The baby sighed in contentment at hearing her voice. I knew babies could hear things while they were in utero, but it still fascinated me to see how responsive my pup was to Charlotte's voice. He opened his eyes and stared at her

LeoraThe witch disappeared in a blink, and the machines went off as my blood pressure skyrocketed. Nurses rushed in and helped me bring my blood pressure down again, but it wasn't enough for them not to be concerned. I mentioned not allowing Annalise to visit me again, but they kept telling me no one had come into the room."We were going to let you go home today, but I don't think that's a good idea. We're going to keep you for observation since your blood pressure won't stay normal.""It was because of the witch who came to visit me!" My voice rose as I said it through clenched teeth.Annalise must have spelled her way into the clinic to talk to me. I wasn't sure why she didn't just teleport herself into the room since she didn't leave a trace when she came in. It must have been her way of flaunting her power to make me even more terrified of her. She didn't need to. I was plenty afraid of her and what her curse had done to my son.Those thoughts sent my heart rate through the roof

BryanI gripped the rail of the bed and roared. Why did she keep throwing me out? I can't even recall what caused Annalise to curse me. If it was because I didn't choose her as my mate, then that was something I couldn't apologize for. Annalise wasn't my fated mate, and I wanted to find the person who completed my soul.Leora turned away from me, and it took all my control not to yank her back toward me and gather her in my arms. I could see how hurt she felt right now, and it was killing me. The mistakes I made before seemed to be happening all over again. I was hurting her without even meaning to, and I didn't know if I could stop it from happening again.What the hell was wrong with me? Why could I recall only bits and pieces of what happened between Annalise and me? The moment I stepped foot into the clinic and saw Leora, everything I planned to say about the curse vanished. Yet, I knew I had been thinking nonstop about Annalise ever since I found out that her curse was the cause

LeoraThe way Bryan poured his heart out to me made my eyes water. Then, when he hit me with accepting the bond and reversing the rejection, I wanted to scream. I still didn't know how to feel about him even being here, and now he had reversed the rejection!My wolf came to the surface and howled in victory at the feeling of the bond snapping into place. Our souls stitched together like they had before, and the waves of his thoughts and feelings crashing into me almost made me scream. I covered my mouth with my hands as tears rolled down my face, feeling everything he felt.His despair at hurting me. The way he wanted to hold me but didn't think I would let him. His hatred of himself for rejecting me in the first place. And then, his quiet contentment as our son rested against his chest.Bryan's breathing was uneven, ragged. I was sure he was feeling the same things I was now. That's why he did this in the first place. It would give me access to how he felt, so I would know he wasn't

LeoraIt was an adjustment having Bryan around. The way he took care of me after coming home showed progress from the man who had rejected me. His care for Cielo was even more amazing to see. When he woke, Bryan was the first out of bed, picking Cielo up from his crib and carrying him over to the changing table he had ordered and set up. He had actually organized everything we could have needed for the baby and brought it all through the woods to the cabin. When he told me he would do whatever it took to help me and Cielo, he meant it.While he changed Cielo, I walked over to the bathroom and listened to him talk to his newborn. The soothing voice he used brought a smile to my face. When I walked out to see Bryan holding Cielo close and nuzzling him with his nose, my heart swelled."I know, little man. It's so hard to be so tiny and not know what's going on. That's okay, though. Daddy is here and will show you the way of the world." Cielo stopped crying and stared at Bryan. "There you
