Victoria’s POVCadmus...the doors opened, and the doctor walked up to me.He’s resting. His injuries are serious, but he’s tough. You have five minutes with him before I put him into a coma so he can heal.I couldn’t breathe, as the floor had vanished under me. Fear gripped my chest, cold and sharp, but guilt was even worse. This was all my fault. I hoped this would help him recover, but my hands still shook at the thought of losing him, even for a little while.I walked in and took his hand. Daddy, I’m sorry. This is all my fault. Please forgive me. I kissed his forehead.Cadmus was sitting down, waiting for me.You need stitches, I said, looking at his deep wound.I’m fine, this is nothing, really.I pulled him to the nurses’ station. They tried not to stare as they began stitching him up. He kept his eyes on me.I smiled, unable to help it. With three nurses hovering over him, he looked uncomfortable.When they finished, he took my hand and pulled me into a room.He kissed me, and

Victoria’s POVI heard his muffled voice telling me, "Victoria, open your eyes."Cadmus...He hugged me, and when I opened my eyes, his amber eyes were shining.He carried me into the shower. I watched blood swirl down the drain as Cadmus gently washed me while I sobbed.Cadmus knelt beside me and tucked a damp strand of hair away from my cheek. "Victoria, I know this has been too much for you. He attacked you tonight. You saw him die. That is a lot for anyone to handle in just one day."His voice softened, gentler than before. "I tried to prepare you, but maybe I did not make myself clear enough. I want you to understand you are safe now. Please, don’t cry anymore."He wrapped me in a bathrobe and helped me into bed."Who...was that?" I asked, my voice trembling with fear.A rogue, bold enough to challenge me. He wanted to prove his strength, but someone must have sent him. Do you want me to tell you who did it?I shook my head. Deep down, I already knew. Makarius. Why does he want m

Victoria’s POVWhat if I were? I said defiantHis amber eyes locked on mine, and I could feel his strength as he moved toward me with a predator’s grace.I backed up until my back hit the wall."Victoria," he said softly. "Say that again."Do I have to tell you everything?"Am I talking to myself this whole time?" He slammed his hand against the wall, and little flakes of paint fell.I need to find the witch. Yes, I’m going on a trip. I must get answers. If Gerda can help me prove Makarius's betrayal once and for all, I need to hear it from her."Do you understand how this works?" He gestured between us."What do you mean?" I asked, confused."Go on, go," he said as he sat down on the couch, picked up his wine glass, and took a sip."I can’t be apart from you." "We will both suffer." I sat next to him. "Cadmus, please take me to find Gerda."You still think he’s innocent? Or do you want to hear from someone else?I’m pretty sure I felt you were telling me the truth."Then why look fo

Victoria’s POVCadmus, you’re spoiling us, I said, laughing. Then I let myself fall backward into the snow.Where did she go? Cadmus asked Thalia. Thalia’s small hands moved and she gasped.I’m here, I said, jumping up and startling her. She giggled.Cadmus put Thalia on the sleigh, and I sat behind Abrax.Last one is a bugger, Abrax said.Oh yeah, Cadmus replied. We raced to the bottom, all of us screaming.Cadmus and Thalia won.He did a silly dance with her. I watched, realizing how much Cadmus had changed. He used to be guarded and serious, always focused on duty.Now, I saw a gentler side, a willingness to be playful and open, especially with Thalia. My heart swelled as I watched him. Seeing this side of him made me love him even more, and I knew we were building something new together. Our eyes met, and I blew him a kiss.Balthazar walked over to us. "Kiddos, let’s go. I have a surprise for you. Well, mostly for you, Abrax." He took the kids, and Cadmus lifted me over his should

A year has passed.Cadmus’s POVI opened my eyes and stared at the same ceiling. The pain was still there, always present. It reminded me that Victoria was still alive.The pain felt like a blessing. I needed it.There was a knock at the door. I told them to come in as I swung my feet to the floor.An omega brought Thalia in. Her face lit up when she saw me."Daddy!" she squealed."How is my beautiful girl?" I asked, kissing her cheek."Good, Daddy. I want to go with you."Her words weren’t always clear yet. She was almost three, and not only was she bright, but also beautiful and sweet."Thalia, I’ll be back in a week. Hopefully, I’ll find Mommy."Her face fell, and I hugged her tightly."I miss her too, kid. Now go eat your breakfast. I’ll be there soon."I called the omega to take her.I walked to her closet and picked up a shirt she used to wear, just to catch a faint trace of her scent missed her so much it hurt. I thought of her sweet lips and the light she gave off when she smi
