HAILEY

I closed my eyes, my head resting on his chest, the steady rhythm of his heartbeat a soothing balm to helped my nerves. I knew he was telling the truth. I knew that everything he did, he did for us. For our family. For our pack. And I had to trust that. I had to believe that.

“I know,” I said, my voice a raw whisper. “I do. And I love you for it. All of it. I appreciate you for it.”

We stood there for a few moments, just holding each other, the world outside fading away. The only th

that mattered was us, our love, our family.

Then, I felt a flutter in my stomach, a little ripple of life, a secret hello from the baby growing inside me gasped, my hand flying to my belly, a wide, beaming smile spreading across my face.

“What is it?” Dominic asked, his eyes wide with concern.

“The baby,” I said, my voice a breathless whisper. “I think… I think I felt it move. For the first time.”

His expression softened, his eyes filled with a wonder and a love so profound it took my breath away. H knelt down, his ear pressed against my belly, his hands resting on my hips, a look of pure, unadulterated joy on his face.

“Hello, little one,” he whispered, his voice a low, gentle rumble. “It’s Daddy. I can’t wait to meet you.”

Another flutter, a little kick, a clear, undeniable sign of life. He looked up at me, his eyes shining with teal

a wide, beaming smile on his face. “I felt it,” he said, his voice choked with emotion. “I felt it, Hailey. Our

baby. Our little miracle.”

For me, this was a second time I felt baby kicks. The first being with Liam. But for Dominic, this was his first ever experience, his first ever connection with our unborn child. I’d been so consumed by the drama with the pack, with the fear and anxiety of Liam’s accident, that I had almost forgotten about the baby About the new life growing inside me. But now, in this quiet moment, with the man I loved by my side, it a came rushing back. The wonder, the excitement, the sheer, overwhelming joy of bringing a new life into

this world.

He stayed like that for a long time, his head resting on my stomach, his eyes closed, a small, happy smile on his face. He was a warrior, a leader, a predator. But he was also a father A mate. A man who loved with a fierce, unwavering devotion. And in that moment, I knew that we would be okay That no matter what challenges we faced, no matter what dangers lurked in the shadows, we would face them together. As a family. And we would win.

He finally stood up, his arms wrapping around me, pulling me into a tight hug. He buried his face in my hair, his body trembling slightly.

“I was so scared, Hailey,” he said, his voice a raw whisper. “When Liam… when he was in the water… I thought I was going to lose him. When his heart stopped beating, I lost my breath. I thought he was dead.

“I know,” I said, my voice a raw whisper. “I was scared too. So scared. But he’s okay. We’re okay. And now… now we have this. Another little miracle to look forward to. Our family is growing.”

He pulled away, his eyes searching mine, a fierce, protective love shining in their depths. “I’m going to protect you,” he said, his voice a low, dangerous growl. “All of you. With my life. I swear it. I will not let anyone, or anything, harm you. Ever again.”

“I know,” I said, my heart aching with a love so fierce it took my breath away. “I know you will, Dom.”
