All Chapters of I MARRIED MY SISTERS ALPHA MATE: Chapter 41 - Chapter 47

VALERIAN’S POVI left the bedroom with the rejected tray still warm in my hands as the scent of the breakfast I had cooked myself clung to the air and my mind kept turning over the same questions while I took the stairs down toward the kitchens.Nyra had never fallen sick a single day since the mating bond settled between us, but now she was heaving over a toilet, nearly collapsing on weak legs with her face pale, and her eyes unfocused as if her body had decided to turn against her overnight.One part of me pushed hard to summon a healer immediately yet she had looked me in the eye and told me she was fine so I forced myself to respect that boundary even as the worry sat heavy in my chest and refused to ease.The head chef straightened the moment I entered the kitchen as the staff paused their work and I set the untouched tray aside before I listed exactly what Nyra had requested with clear instructions for the heavily spiced lamb she had never wanted before.The woman stared at me w

VALERIAN’S POVI kept my hand on her arm as the silence after my last words stretched between us and the stunned look on her face told me every admission had landed exactly as heavy as it felt.

She had not come to apologize or to reminisce.
