Chapter 110: First Steps

“Who is it?” Skylar asked softly from inside the room.No answer came.Only another knock.Slower this time.Heavier somehow.Skylar hesitated before finally walking toward the door.The moment she opened it,she froze.Azerbel stood there.Her eyes were red and swollen, tears trembling along her lashes like they had been fighting to stay there for a long time already.Skylar’s chest tightened so suddenly it hurt.She didn’t need to ask why Azerbel came.She knew.Genaro had told her.The truth was no longer hidden.For a brief moment, Skylar forgot how to breathe.Because she had imagined this moment countless times over the years.Sometimes Azerbel screamed at her.Sometimes she cried.Sometimes she walked away without saying a single word.But now that the moment was finally real…Skylar realized she had no idea what to do.What could she possibly say?I’m sorry?The words felt unbearably small.Too weak for something this painful.Too late for all the years already lost.Her finge

Chapter 111: Love Remains

She had already taught herself how to live with loss.That was the cruelest part.After enough years, grief stopped feeling sharp and started feeling permanent, like something stitched into the bones. Something you carried so long that eventually, you stopped reaching for what was gone.But now,her grandson was in her arms.Warm.Breathing.Real.Skylar stared down at him quietly, almost afraid to blink in case the moment disappeared with it.A strange ache spread through her chest. Not painful. Worse.Tender.To stand here beside her daughter again…to hold Azerbel’s child…it felt too merciful for someone like her.Her fingers trembled slightly against the baby’s back.She remembered another child once.Smaller.Softer.Only two years old.Azerbel.The memory never faded no matter how many years passed. Skylar could still remember the weight of her daughter in her arms that night. The sound of Azerbel crying as Dominic carried her away. The way Skylar stood there afterward, unable

Chapter 112: Another Miracle

The laughter should have felt comforting.Instead, it made Azerbel uneasy.Too loud.Too carefree.Too much like the world had forgotten how close they had come to losing everything.Still, she smiled.She had become good at that over the past year.Good at enjoying a peaceful moment while some stubborn part of her remained watchful.Waiting.Today was Dawin Ray's first birthday.The little boy raced across the open field on unsteady legs, chasing absolutely nothing and somehow looking like he was chasing the entire world.Every few steps, he nearly fell.Every few steps, someone reached toward him.And every time, he stubbornly kept going.The sight tightened something in Azerbel's chest.Healthy.Strong.Alive.For a long time, those three things had felt impossible.Now they felt like a miracle she still wasn't used to holding.“Uncle! Uncle!”Dawin Ray spotted Ruztom and immediately changed direction.Tiny arms stretched upward.“Up. Up.”Ruztom's entire face lit up.He scooped th

Chapter 113: Trouble Returns

Something felt wrong before anyone said a word.Not pain.Not fear.Just a strange heaviness beneath her skin, as if her body had already accepted a truth her mind hadn't caught up to yet.Then the words came.And nothing inside her was prepared for them.The news hit harder than it should have.Too hard.Azerbel blinked, trying to steady herself, but her thoughts kept drifting back to her mother. That worry had lived inside her for days now, constant and exhausting. She had convinced herself it was the reason she felt different.The reason she felt tired.The reason her emotions had been all over the place.Not this.Not a baby.A knot formed in her throat.Her fingers curled into the bedsheet as she stared ahead.She had only just found solid ground again.Only just learned how to breathe without waiting for something terrible to happen.And now there was another life depending on her.Another responsibility.Another reason to be afraid of losing everything."But... I didn't sense i

Chapter 114: Stand Down

The boy didn't cry.That was the first thing Azerbel noticed.Not the shouting.Not the way he immediately lowered his head.Not even the hand that grabbed his arm.It was the silence.The way he absorbed it all without making a sound.Like he had learned long ago that crying only made things worse.Raven.Ruby's second child.Azerbel had heard whispers over the years.The kind people shared when they thought nobody important was listening.Half-truths.Rumors.Pieces of stories no one could fully prove.Skylar had mentioned him once.Casually.As though she were discussing the weather instead of a child.No one seemed certain who his father was.Some claimed it was Guerero's father.Others swore it was someone else entirely.A warrior.A pack member.A stranger.The stories changed depending on who was telling them.

Chapter 115: Need Affection

The first thing Azerbel noticed wasn't the shouting.It was the silence underneath it.The kind that settles into a room after too much damage has already been done.Too tense.Too sharp.As if everyone present was waiting for something else to break.She stepped forward anyway.Because someone had to.As Luna, she represented authority.But right now, that wasn't what mattered.Right now, she was the only adult in the room who wasn't letting emotions make decisions.And Ruby had already crossed a line.“I can take your son.”Her voice remained calm.Measured.Educated.She didn't raise it.She didn't need to.The certainty behind the words carried enough weight on its own.For a moment, Ruby simply stared.Then shock gave way to anger.Fast.Violent.“Don't you dare lay a hand on him anymore!”

Chapter 116: Dangerous Plans

Raven flinched the moment Azerbel kissed his cheek.Not small. Not subtle. It was the kind of reaction that came from instinct, like he had been hurt before and expected it again.Azerbel stilled.Something was wrong. She could feel it without asking.“Are you okay?” she said gently, careful with her tone, careful with her distance.Raven was only a few months younger than Dawin Ray, yet there was something in the way he carried himself that didn’t belong to a child. His eyes were too guarded. Too aware. As if he had already learned how to survive instead of simply live.“I have never been kissed by my mother before,” Raven said.He pressed his lips together, holding back more than just words.A quiet anger stirred inside Azerbel.“You don’t like it when I kiss you?” she asked, softer this time.“No. It’s not that…” His voice trembled despite his effort to steady it. “I was just thinking… why my mother doesn’

Chapter 117: Labor Begins

“Tonight felt too easy.”That was the first thought that crossed Azerbel’s mind… and it unsettled her more than anything else.Because nothing about Raven’s situation should feel easy.Thankfully, Dawin Ray didn’t see it that way.He was glowing with excitement.“I want to sleep with Raven tonight!” he announced, practically bouncing where he stood. “You’re my brother now! And I’m going to have a baby sister too!”He turned to Raven, eyes bright with pride. “She’s still inside mother’s womb, but when she comes out, I’ll introduce you to her, okay?”Raven blinked at him.Then nodded. “Okay.”Simple. Quiet. Careful.Even his agreement felt like something he measured.During dinner, the difference became clearer.The table was filled, meat, vegetables, warm dishes prepared in abundance, but Raven barely touched anything. He sat still, shoulders slightly hunched, eating only small bites of plain rice.Like he was trying not to be noticed.“Do you like eating that way?” Dawin Ray asked, fr

Chapter 118: Tiny Miracle

The pain woke her.Sharp. Deep. Wrong.At first, Azerbel thought it was just the baby moving again, stronger than usual, maybe, but the sensation didn’t fade.It built.Slowly at first… then heavier.More insistent.Different.Her fingers tightened against the sheets as she waited through it, counting, measuring, trying to stay calm.This wasn’t new.She knew this.But something about it still made her chest tighten.Only then did she nudge Genaro.“Genaro…”That was all it took.His eyes snapped open instantly, clear, alert, as if he hadn’t been asleep at all.“What happened?” His voice was steady, but his body was already tense, already ready.“I think I’m going to give birth,” Azerbel said, keeping her tone even. “But don’t worry, the contractions are still, ”She didn’t finish.Genaro was already gone.Out of the bed. Out of the room.Calling for help.Azerbel exhaled slowly, one hand resting on her stomach.He didn’t even listen.A small, helpless smile touched her lips despite t

Chapter 119: Witnessed Everything

The girl ran because staying meant getting hurt again.Not once. Not twice.Every day.Her stepmother’s voice.Her stepsister’s hands.Always something waiting for her the moment she stepped inside that house.So she stopped trying to stay.She ran.Not toward anything, just away.Away from the shouting.Away from the looks that made her feel like she didn’t belong there at all.She wanted a place where people didn’t look at her like she was a mistake.A place where someone might… want her.But every time she thought she was getting closer to that,She wasn’t.On the way to her usual hiding place, she passed a group of girls her age.They were laughing.Running around their mothers, clinging to them, pulling at their hands like it was the most natural thing in the world.The sight made her slow down.Her chest tightened.She hated them for it.For having something she didn’t.And at the same time… she hated herself more for wanting it so badly.She used to think her family was normal.
