The last time I'd seen him this frantic was when I'd gotten badly injured pulling him away from rogue wolves. We reached the hospital. Helen was pale against the white sheets, looking fragile. "Riven, I'm scared. I'm not going to die, am I?" "I'm sorry. I couldn't protect our baby." "Don't blame Natasha. She just... acted without thinking." Riven took her hand and pressed it to his cheek.
