:
I ced a hand on my stomach, feeling the reassuring movement of our baby. “It’s okay,” I whispered. “Your father is strong. He’lle <b>back </b>to us.”
I must <b>have </b>fallen asleep waiting for Dominic. When I opened my eyes, the room was dark except for the moonlight streaming through the windows. I immediately sensed his presence in the adjoining bathroom–the sound of running water and theforting scent of pine and amber that was uniquely his..
1 sat up, pulling the throw nket around my shoulders. “Dominic?”
The bathroom door opened, and he emerged with damp <b>hair</b>, wearing only pajama bottoms. The sight of him–safe and whole–sent a wave of relief through me. But I could see the fatigue in his eyes and the tension in his shoulders.
“I felt you return,” I said softly. “Even through the walls.”
Dominic sat on the edge of the bed, water droplets still clinging to his hair<b>. </b><b>“</b><b>She </b>killed <b>a </b>wolf, Reba. I thought it was an ident.”
The raw p

Elizabeth confessed before she attacked me. <b>She </b>was nning to target you next. She could feel our mate bond growing stronger, and it drove her mod<b>.</b><b>” </b>
I shuddered at the thought, instinctively cing my free hand over my stomach. Dominic noticed the gesture, his expression softening as he ced <b>his </brge hand <b>over </b>mine, connecting <b>him </b>to both me and our unborn child.
“This isn’t your fault.” I told him firmly.
“I should have seen the signs,” he said, his voice low. “Her obsession, her increasingly erratic behavior. If I had addressed it sooner…” <fn4643> Official source is F?nd-Novel</fn4643>
“You couldn’t have known she would go this far,” I argued gently. “What happens now?”
Dominic sighed, the weight of leadership heavy on his shoulders. “She’ll remain in specialized <b>care</b>. The pack will cover <b>the </b>expenses–it’s our <b>way</b><b>. </b>Ronald is devastated, but he understands the legal implications within wolfw. Elizabeth attacked a future <b>Alpha </b>unprovoked. The consequences would have been severe even if she hadn’t been injured.”
I moved behind him, wrapping <b>my </b>arms around his broad shoulders, pressing my cheek against his back. “I’m sorry about hearing that”
He turned, cupping my <b>face </b>in his hands, his eyes searching mine. The thought of losing you terrifies me, Reba. I’ve lost too much already. I couldn’t bear losing you and our son.”
The vulnerability in his voice touched something deep within me. I leaned forward, pressing my lips against his in a kiss that began asfort but quickly deepened with need. His arms encircled me, pulling me closer, his warmth surrounding me like a shield.
connection intensified as clothing was discarded, our bodies findingfort and reassurance in each other. Every touch was both a promise and a im–a reaffirmation of the band that Elizabeth had tried to destroy. I felt his wolf reaching for mine, and my emerging wolf responded with equal intensity.

Afterward, Dominic held me tightly against his chest, his heartbeat strong and steady beneath my ear. His fingers tracedzy patterns on my <b>skin</b>, asionally passing over the mark on my neck, sending pleasant shivers down my spine.
“I <b>promise </b>to protect you better,” he whispered into my halt. “Both of you.”
I traced the scar on his jaw, a remnant from when Catherine had left him. “I promise to keep myself safe,” I replied. “But you have to promise me the same. This baby needs his father.”
As if in agreement, our son kicked gently inside me, making both of us smile. Dominic ced his hand on my rounded stomach, his expression filled <b>with </b>wonder.
“He’s strong,” he murmured. “Like his n
mother.”
