Anna POVThe room slowly. It never really felt empty because sadness had a way of filling every spot until there was hardly space left to take a breath. Nurses came quietly to take off machines, each action gentle and respectful while the doctor gave comfort that I heard but didn’t feel inside me. Someone asked if I wanted a moment with my husband and the word husband cut deeper than any apology that followed. I nodded silently because talking had become something that needed strength than I had.The door closed softly behind them. The silence they left filled the room like snow. It quieted everything except the noise of lights and the uneven sound of my breathing. Lucian was where he had been before looking incredibly calm in a way that felt almost cruel. Calm belonged to people who had ended their struggles on their terms. Lucian had fought until there was nothing left to fight.I reached for his hand again even though I already knew the warmth had started to goIt still looked like

Lucian POVThe first thing I really understood wasn’t the ceiling of the hospital or the pain that had settled into every part of my body. It wasn’t the sounds of the machines or the strange feeling in my chest when I tried to take a breath.It was her hand.Warm.Soft.Holding mine tightly as if she wanted to keep me on the ground just by being strong.I didn’t have to open my eyes to know it was Anna.Somehow after all the time I spent knowing danger before comfort, I knew her touch with a certainty that went deeper than instinct. It reached the parts of me that had once belonged to loneliness and for the first time in longer than I could remember those parts didn’t feel empty anymore.I tried to move my fingers even though it felt hard.Her grip got tighter away.“I’m here."Her voice was shaky. Underneath the sadness, there was a joy that felt very fragile. I was afraid to breathe much afraid I might break it.“I’m here."This time I opened my eyes completely.The room was blurry

The room was really quiet after Lucian said what he did. My heart was still racing. I was feeling a lot of things at the time like I was going to cry or laugh or just stop feeling anything at all. I looked at Lucian across the hospital bed. Our daughter was sleeping in his arms. It hit me that the future I had been trying not to think about was right in front of me now.I looked at Lucian's face carefully. It was not because I did not trust him. It was because I was scared of believing what he said quickly.I tried to talk. My voice got stuck. I had to swallow and try again. "You..." I said. "Say it again."Lucian looked at me with surprise. I shook my head before he could get the idea. "Please " I said.My fingers were holding the blanket really tight like I needed something to hold onto because everything else was changing. "I need to hear it " I said.Luke looked at us. Smiled a little. He did not say anything though. He seemed to know that this was not about getting information.I

The drive back to the mansion felt really different from all the times we had made this trip. This time the road that had often taken us into danger was now taking us home. The sun was shining through the windows of the SUV and our little daughter was sleeping peacefully in her car seat beside me. Every second I would catch Lucian looking at her through the rearview mirror and he had this look of quiet amazement on his face like he was still trying to make sure that this happiness was real.I could not. Smile every time I saw him do this."You have checked on her at least twelve times " I said to Lucian.Lucian did not even try to deny it."I have only counted nine " he replied.Luke, who was sitting in the passenger seat started laughing."The Alpha King is already losing arguments to a newborn " he said.Lucian crossed his arms over his chest."I am just making sure everything is okay " he said.I raised an eyebrow."Is that what they are calling staring " I asked him.He looked at

Anna POVThe conservatory became strangely quiet once the sounds of celebration faded behind us, and for the first time that day, I found myself standing in a silence that didn’t demand courage so much as honesty. Afternoon sunlight filtered through the glass ceiling above us, scattering warm patterns across the marble floor, while the fountain outside continued its gentle rhythm as though the world had never nearly ended. Belle stood across from me with patient eyes, and although she folded her arms as if preparing herself, I could see the worry she was trying to hide.She gave me a small nod.“I’m listening.”I took a slow breath.“I don’t even know where to begin.”Belle smiled sadly.“Then don’t begin with the impossible.”She stepped closer until she was standing beside me instead of across from me.“Begin with the moment you stopped being able to call me.”Her words landed gently, yet they struck exactly where the guilt had been waiting.I lowered my eyes.“It started before the
