DANE

I rushed into the room, a bowl of soup in my hands, only to freeze in my tracks at the sight before me. Aurora was lying unconscious on the floor.

My heart sank. “Aurora!” I shouted, dropping the soup without a second thought as I ran to her.

I knelt down, gently lifting her limp body and placing her head on my lap. My hands trembled as I touched her pale cheek, my voice breaking as I called out to her.

“Aurora! Babe, wake up! Please!”

Her eyes remained closed, her body unresponsive. Panic clawed at me as I quickly got to my feet, scooping her up in my arms. I bolted out of the room, heading straight for the doctors office in. the pack house.

“Doctor!” I bellowed as I approached, Aurora cradled against my chest. But when I reached the door, I found it locked.

“Dammit!” I cursed, kicking at the door in frustration. “Why the hell is this locked?” Growling under my breath, I turned and sprinted toward the hospital in the pack’s village, desperate for help.

As I ran through the streets, people turned to watch, their expressions shifting from curiosity to concern.

“Out of my way!” I thundered as I barreled through the marketplace. The once bustling atmosphere fell silent, the crowd parting to let me pass through with Aurora in my arms.

Ahead, the hospital came into view–a structure I’d built for the pack, along with schools and improved roads. But none of that mattered now. Right now, all that mattered was Aurora. Just the thought of life without her would drive me crazy immediately.

“Doctor!” I roared as I burst through the hospital doors. The nurses snapped into action immediately, rushing toward me with a stretcher.

I carefully laid Aurora on it, my hands lingering on her as they pushed her toward the treatment room. One of the nurses barked instructions to another, sending them running ahead to fetch the doctor.

I kept pace beside Aurora, clutching her hand tightly, my thumb brushing over her knuckles. “Aurora… please, open your eyes,” I whispered, my voice cracking. “Just blink. Just show me you’re okay. Please, babe…”
