---- 300.
MIRACLES DO EXIST VALERIA Ss, sitting beside her, holding her hand, has slowly been integrating into the family, though its obvious he still prefers to iste himself with Sigrid.
My eyes linger on him for a second, and I cant help the pang of sadness that hits me.
"Vale, youre doing it again." Aldric warns me, and I immediately avert my gaze.
Ss came to me in secrethe wants my help with our Selenia magic.
He still has hope that he can be cured, that he might be able to give my daughter pups, and that filled me with deep sorrow.
Sigrid doesnt know hes asking for my help; Ss doesnt want to give her false hope.
---- I promised to keep quiet, but I cant hide something this important from Aldric.
At first, hepletely shut down.
I thought he wouldnt understand.
He barely spoke for an entire day, devastated, but the next day, Sigrid invited him to run as wolves, just the two of them.
I dont know what happened, what they talked about.
But when he returned, he was calmer and epted the situation.
He told me he would support me however necessary.
But if Sigrid, such a powerful Selenia, hasnt been able to heal her mate, I doubt any of us can.
Still, I will never give upIll do everything in my power to help them.
Im considering seeking out the most powerful white sorceress, whose magic is primarily for healing.
---- What...? What is this? Zareks stunned voice pulls me from my thoughts.
I smile slightly at his usually impassive face; however, right now, his eyes are wide, confused, as he lifts the tiny pink garment.
Tts a pup onesie.
Are your eyes failing you already, old man? my daughter teases, mocking him, despite being his much older mate.
At least Im d she isnt upset, especially with Celines news.
Whose gift is it, prince? I ask, and the fool nces back at the red box with a ck ribbon from which he pulled the baby clothes.
Tts...
from Celine...
he stares at her, then at her belly But...
but I didnt sense it, I...
are you...
are you pregnant? Dave cant hold back his snort, and despite his respect for Zarek, everyone bursts intoughter at his shocked expression.
