CHAPTER HUNDRED-SIXTYONE-2

Someone had set events into motion knowing exactly what would happen.

“This wasn’t just an accident. It can’t be. We were living just fine. No problems. No threats. No warning signs. One minute he was active and teasing me about stopping for pastries on the way home, and the next-” My voice broke, the words shattering as I pulled back from Hailey’s shoulder, my hands curling into fists at my sides. “People don’t just end up like that for no reason. Not Giovanni. Not when everything was finally… good.”

Hailey didn’t interrupt me. She never did when I got like this. She just held me tighter, her chin

resting against the top of my head, her arms wrapped around me while the world tilted dangerously beneath my feet. Dominic shifted closer, his presence heavy, protective, the Alpha in him radiating even now, but his eyes betrayed him. They were haunted. The kind of eyes that had

already started replaying every decision, every moment, searching for where things had gone

wrong.

“I know,” Hailey said softly after a moment, her voice steady in a way mine wasn’t. “I know it feels

wrong. And maybe it is. But right now, all that matters is Giovanni pulling through this. We can’t afford to tear ourselves apart chasing ghosts.

I shook my head slowly, the motion deliberate, resolute. “This isn’t paranoia,” I whispered, lowering my voice even though the hallway was empty. “This is instinct. And my instincts have never failed

me when it comes to him. Ever.” I pressed a hand to my chest, right over my heart, feeling it hammer violently against my ribs. “Something is off. And I swear, Hailey, if this has anything to do with Yasmine-”

Dominic’s jaw tightened visibly at her name, his hands clenching and unclenching at his sides like he was fighting the urge to put a fist through the nearest wall. “Don’t,” he said quietly, but there was no reprimand in his tone. Just exhaustion. “We don’t have proof. And the last thing we need is to

spiral into assumptions while Giovanni is lying in there fighting for his life.”

“I’m not spiraling,” I snapped before I could stop myself, the edge in my voice sharper than I intended. Guilt followed immediately, but the anger was too close to the surface, too raw to fully rein in. “I’m paying attention. There’s a difference.”

I dragged a hand down my face, scrubbing at the remnants of tears. “I just… I can’t lose him,” I said,

my voice barely audible now. “I won’t survive it. I won’t. Our baby needs him. I need him. I refuse to

accept a reality where he doesn’t wake up.”

“You won’t have to,” Hailey said firmly, pulling back just enough to look me in the eyes. “Giovanni is strong. Stubborn as hell. If anyone can fight his way back from this, it’s him.” Her voice dropped, fierce and unyielding. “And if someone did this, if someone thought they could hurt our family and

get away with it, they’re going to regret it.”

Dominic nodded once, a slow, deliberate motion. “You have my word,” he said, his tone low and

ironclad. “If this wasn’t an accident, I will find out who’s responsible. Alpha or not, coven or not, no one touches my people and walks away unscathed
