96 Chapter 96

Seraphina’s POV 1

The morning sun streamed through the office windows as I settled into Damien’s chair-our chair, I reminded myself. It still felt strange sitting behind this massive mahogany desk, surrounded by the scent of

leather and his cologne that lingered in the room even though he’d been gone for two days.

*Miss you already,* I sent through our mindlink, testing the connection as I shuffled through the stack of

reports waiting for my attention.

His response came back warm and immediate. *Miss you too, beautiful. How’s our little one treating you this

morning?*

I smiled, unconsciously placing my hand over my still-flat stomach. *Better today. Actually managed to keep

breakfast down.*

*Good. I love you both.*

The connection faded, leaving me with that familiar mixture of comfort and longing. At least the mindlink

was working perfectly. I could feel him there, like a warm presence in the back of my mind, even when we

weren’t actively communicating.

A knock on the door interrupted my thoughts. “Come in,” I called out, straightening my shoulders and trying

to project the confidence of someone who belonged in this chair.

Marcus entered, carrying a tablet and wearing his usual serious expression.

“Luna, the morning patrol reports are ready for your review,” he said, his gruff voice softer than usual.
