The Witch and Her Four Dangerous Alphas

Chapter 97: Chapter 97: A Bond Without Destiny

Aeron’s POV~

The room was dark. Only a faint light filtered in from the window, enough to show the two of us. I sat beside the bed, my eyes fixed on my brother, who had not woken for a whole day and night. My expression was heavy, worry etched across my face.

On the bed lay Luca. His chest rose and fell steadily, but he had not opened his eyes once since yesterday. There was no wound on him, no blood, not even a scratch that could explain what had happened. I had called doctor after doctor, every one of them giving the same answer: He is fine. His body is perfectly normal. But I knew this was not normal.

It would have been fine if Luca was just sleeping peacefully. But he was not. Time after time, his body reacted like he was trapped in a nightmare. His hands clenched into fists, his head twisted from side to side.

Sometimes he thrashed against the bed with harsh and uneven breathing, sweat pouring down his temple. His face twisted in pain, as if he was fighting something only he could see.

The worst was when tears slipped from his closed eyes. My chest tightened every time I saw it. Luca never cried, not even when he was young. To see my strong brother like this made something inside me burn with helplessness.

I reached out and pressed a hand to Luca’s shoulder, as if that alone could steady him. "What happened to you, brother..." I whispered in a low voice, almost afraid to disturb the silence.
