-Grayson’s POV-

“Why the hell isn’t she waking up?” I ground my teeth, glaring at the doctor. My patience was already threadbare, and his nervous fidgeting wasn’t helping.

“Mr. Blackwood,” he stammered, clutching his clipboard like it was a shield. “I–I don’t know. There’s no physical reason why she isn’t waking up. All her vitals are stable, and her scans show nothing abnormal. I-”

Then why the hell is she still unconscious?” I barked, taking a threatening step forward. My wolf was clawing at the surface,

ching to take over, but I forced it back.

The doctor opened his mouth to speak again, but before he could stammer out another excuse, a sharp gasp cut through the room. My head snapped toward Ava just as her eyes flew open. She shot upright with such force she nearly threw herself off the bed.

“Ava!” I was at her side in an instant, my heart slamming against my ribs as relief and panic warred within me.

The doctor moved toward her, but I turned on him, my voice low and deadly. “Get out.”

“Mr. Blackwood, I really should-

“You said there was nothing wrong with her,” I growled, my gaze locking onto his. “So get out before I reconsider letting you walk out alive.”

The doctor froze, his face pale, then quickly scurried out of the room, leaving us alone.

“Grayson,” Ava whispered, her voice weak but steady enough to snap me out of my anger.

I turned back to her, watching as her eyes darted around the room, taking in her surroundings with a disoriented expression. I crouched beside her, brushing a strand of hair from her face, my voice softening. “Hey. I’m here. You’re okay.”

She blinked, her gaze finally focusing on me, but there was something haunted in her eyes. “I–I almost killed him. She–my wolf. They…”

“Ava.” I placed a hand on her cheek, grounding her. “You’re okay. Do you hear me?”

She stared at me for a moment before nodding, her lip trembling. Without warning, she reached for me, pulling me close. I didn’t hesitate, sitting on the bed and wrapping my arms around her as she buried her face against my chest.

Relief washed over me like a tidal wave, and I exhaled a shaky breath. She was alive. Safe. Here in my arms.

The moment I’d woken up after the crash, my first instinct had been to find her. Not to check if I was injured, not to assess the damage, but to find Ava. That realization hit me hard. For sixteen years, I’d lived selfishly, putting myself first in every situation. But not with her. Never with her.

When I’d seen her lying yards away from the wreck, motionless and bloody, everything in me had stilled. The world had stopped turning until I reached her. And now, holding her close, I knew I’d do whatever it took to protect her.

Her breathing slowed, and soon, she was asleep again, her body exhausted. I carefully scooped her into my arms, carrying her out of the hospital room and toward the car I’d had brought around.
