Seraphina’s POV 1

After a few more minutes of excited chatter about the baby and what it might mean to have a little brother or

sister, Ophelia gently took Adrian’s hand.

“Come on, sweetheart,” she said softly, though I could see the reluctance in her eyes to leave me again so

soon after I’d woken up. “Let’s give Mommy and Daddy some time to talk about grown-up things. Maybe we

can get some ice cream from the cafeteria?”

Adrian’s face lit up at the mention of ice cream, but he hesitated, looking between me and Damien with the

kind of intuitive understanding.

“Is it wolf stuff?” he asked seriously. “Because I know about wolves now. Daddy told me.”

I exchanged a glance with Damien, wondering just how much our son had learned during the ten days I’d

been unconscious.

“It is wolf stuff,” Damien confirmed with a gentle smile. “Adult wolf stuff that might be a little boring for a

four-year-old.”

“Okay,” Adrian said with a sage nod. “But you’ll tell me the fun parts later, right Mommy?”

“I promise,” I said, pressing a kiss to his forehead. “And thank you for being such a good boy while I was sleeping. I love you so much.”

“I love you too, Mommy. And I love the baby too, even though I can’t see them yet.”

My heart melted at his sweetness. “The baby loves you too, I’m sure of it.”

Ophelia leaned down to hug me once more, whispering in my ear, “I’m so glad you’re okay. We were all so scared”

“I’m sorry” I whispered back. “I didn’t mean to scare anyone.”

“Just focus on getting better,” she said, pulling back to look at me with tears still glistening in her eyes. “We’ll have plenty of time to catch up once you’re home.”
