JulianZlata gripped our son's hat until her knuckles went white, her chest heaving as she struggled to breathe."Angel. You need to rest. You gave birth five hours ago.""I'll rest when my son is in my arms." She said it without looking at me, and then she froze, receiving a mind-link. "Nadine is here."She was already moving before I could argue.Nadine stood in the corridor outside the ward with four witches of the Council around her and an iron collar at her throat. Fiorella, Jordan and Chase waited beside them — and Fiorella was holding a bundle against her shoulder.Thalia's son.
