Luca was led back to the medical center in a daze.
“Why are you bringing me here?”
His beta pulled up the security footage from Ash’s former room.
“Luna said seeing isn’t always believing. She wanted me to show you the truth.”
In the video, Luca watched with his own eyes as Ash grabbed my hand and drove the knife into herself.
Luca staggered backward.
“Fuck… Sera was right. I called her a liar when she was telling the truth. I swore I’d always trust her.”
His body shook as tears streamed down his face.
“Don’t break down yet. This is only the first gift.”
His beta looks like he wanted to shake some sense into him and couldn’t help mocking him.
“Luca, you brought this shit on yourself! I warned you, but you wouldn’t listen. Since you made this mess, see it through like an ALPHA. Don’t be a chicken now.”
The second gift was at the nursery.
Luca didn’t understand at first, not until he saw the empty incubator.
“My pup? Where the hell is my daughter?”
He grabbed a passing doctor by the scrubs, frantically demanding answers.
The doctor looked at him with cold contempt.
“That
pup was born weak. The second day, she could barely breathe–nearly died.”
Luca remembered that day.
He’d been with Ash, annoyed when I came to him about our pup’s condition. He’d had me thrown out, telling me that if I couldn’t even keep a pup alive, maybe it was better off dead.
“Thanks to her mother’s constant care, the little one pulled through.”
“It was a miracle, really. But when you unplugged that machine, the miracle ended.”
“You’ll never see your daughter again.”
All color drained from Luca’s face.
He had killed his own pup with his bare hands.
Unable to bear it, Luca slammed his head against the hospital wall.
“This is all on me! I fucked up! I should be dead!
He knocked himself unconscious.
When he came to, both his human side and wolf felt completely hollow.
“Tell me. What’s the third thing Sera left me? I can handle it.”
His beta hesitated, his fingers twitching several times before finally pulling out the hand severance documents
“Luna said she never wants anything to do with you again. Ever.”
The papers were torn to shreds.
Luca thought he could take anything, but my last gift completely broke whatever was left of him.
Luca’s eyes blazed crimson.
“I don’t accept it.”
“Sera and I grew up together. We promised we’d be together forever.”
“Same pack, same grave.”
“I know I fucked up, but I’m going to find her. Whatever punishment she wants, I’ll take it.”
“We’ve got ten years together–Sera has to forgive me.”
Luca shoved away his beta’s restraining arms.
He looked ready to destroy anyone who tried to stop him from finding me.
While Luca searched the world for me, I survived,
beside a hospital bed, watching my little one breathe steadily, overwhelmed with relief that we’d
Alaric, Luca, and I had all grown up together in the same pack.
After Luca and I mated, Alaric left for human territory and became a pediatric specialist.
If he hadn’t arrived when he did that day, my pup would truly be gone.
“Alaric, thank you.”
“It’s nothing. I’ll always be here for you.”
I paused for a moment, then smiled softly.
“You’ve become so much more steady and dependable than before.”
The moment I complimented him, this supposedly steady man’s ears turned red.
“Seraphina, I need to tell you something.”
I glanced at my sleeping pup, then quietly closed the door and followed him out.
Alaric took a deep breath, his expression serious.
“Sera, I’ve been in love with you for a long time.”
