Alpha's Regret: His Deceased Wife Was the Lost Love He'd Sought
I looked at the steaming food in front of me, then at Nina, who'd sprawled across the lab bench and started drawing with crayons.
Something warm I hadn't felt in a long time settled in my chest.
After a while, Nina held up her drawing for me to see. "Auntie Sera, look!"
On the paper were four little stick figures holding hands. Nina pointed at them and announced in her small, milky voice, "This is Daddy, this is me, this is Auntie Sera, and this is the baby in Auntie Sera's tummy!"
Julian and I both went still. My whole body tensed, and my eyes dropped to my stomach on instinct.
