I place her tiny fragile body on the bed, my heart constricting as I watch the steady rise and fall of her chest as she takes air into her lungs. I pinched a lock of her hair between my fingers, feeling the softness as I stared at the woman I fell in love with before I even knew she was mine.

I bit my lower lip to pull in my emotions and only knew my canines came out when I felt the sting of the sharp end piercing into my flesh and causing it to bleed. A tinge of red fell on the white sheet beside her hand and I cussed low.

“She looks steady,” the doctor’s weary voice comes behind me, his footsteps hesitant yet firm at the same time. He did not know if I was welcoming right now since he probably could smell my blood.

I straightened, looking over my shoulder at the smaller man. Does she?” my voice came out a low rumble as I glared at him.

I knew he wasn’t the cause of what was happening and of course, I knew that if I had to blame anyone for it…..it would be me. However, his words were still not comforting enough, and what I needed now the most was….. the comfort of knowing my mate and our baby were safe and okay.

My gaze flickered back to my V, seeing how even in her sleep her face had gotten much more paler than it was moments ago.

I had assured her hope, told her I had every faith under the sun that she would overcome this and I believed. I believed.

But still, I could not bear to watch her having to suffer any more than she has to. I didn’t want her to. This should not be happening. Everything should have been safe. She should have been safe with me.

I am her mate. I should have been her safe space. The one to comfort her. The one to…protect her. I should have been her safe haven.

Yet I cannot help but feel that I was not. I was the danger I should have protected her from.

I can hear the doctor step closer, his footing hesitant behind me until he grew braver when I didn’t do anything and stepped around me to move near her bed.

“She’s stable for now,” he said again, eyeing her on the bed and then nervously looking up at me. ” However I need room to work on making sure she will remain stable until she has things under control.”

I gritted my teeth, my gums throbbing from the shift of my wolf. I knew he only wanted to help but having to leave Avery all alone once more was painful. However, I knew I had to give him the space needed so he could help her.

That’s all I wanted.

I want them to help her.

I want her safe.

So reluctantly I nod stiffly and take a step back then two, keeping my eyes trained on her, fearing that if I remove them on her once it will be the last. “I don’t want to hear for now,” I growled, fisting my hands at my sides as I watch him begin to move around her.

“She will be stable and you will make sure of it,” I stressed on each word, making sure that he knew he needed to make sure he helps her with everything he got.

He doesn’t flinch when he hears my grounded words but I had a feeling his mind was focus more on Avery than my threat. However, his stiff nod made me know he had heard my words.

“I will do everything in my power,” he looks over his shoulder just as one of the nurses walked in. His eyes were set determined and the look eased me a bit. “I promise you alpha. I promise you I will take care of your Luna,”
