“She spiked,” I said, my voice tense, low and urgent. “Her blood pressure. It’s too high. We need to-” I stopped, realizing I couldn’t finish the sentence fast enough. “We need to stabilize her!”

The doctor didn’t hesitate. “Get me the hypertensive medication now. I’ll start a controlled IV. Monitor her oxygen closely. Daniel, I need you to stay calm and let me work.”

“Calm?” I barked. “She’s–she’s mine. I can’t just stay calm!” My voice was harsh, shaking with adrenaline. My wolf stirred, furious, and I could feel the danger in my chest, ready to explode. But I forced myself back, gripping Amy’s hand harder, grounding myself.

The doctor worked quickly, calculating doses, instructing the nurses with sharp, precise movements. I watched every step, my eyes flicking between the monitor and Amy’s face. Her lips twitched slightly, and her brow furrowed in discomfort. My chest tightened.

“I won’t lose you,” I whispered through gritted teeth, pressing my forehead against hers again. “Not now. Not ever.”

The nurses set up the IV, and the doctor administered the medication. He murmured instructions, checking vitals, adjusting doses, and keeping an eye on her oxygen saturation.

“She’s responding,” he said finally, after what felt like an eternity. “BP is dropping slowly. Keep her calm. Don’t leave her side. She needs you now more than ever.”

I didn’t let go of her hand. Not for a second. My fingers felt the subtle pulse under her skin, the small, flickering life that persisted despite everything. My jaw clenched, and I exhaled shakily.

Amy coughed softly, a small, weak sound, and I leaned closer. “It’s okay, Amy,” I whispered. “I’m right here. You’re safe. You’re alive.”

Her eyelids twitched, her hands moved slightly against mine, and I could feel a faint stir of recognition. My heart thudded painfully in my chest. I whispered her name again. “Amy… it’s me. Daniel. Look at me.”

Her fingers twitched more, her pulse steadied slightly. The monitor beeped more regularly now. The spikes were coming down, slowly but steadily. My chest loosened, and I could feel the tension draining from my shoulders, though only a little.

The doctor stepped back, observing her vitals. “She’s stabilizing. Keep her on the ventilator. Maintain the current medications. She’s going to need at least twenty–four hours of strict monitoring.”

I nodded, not trusting myself to speak. My gaze didn’t leave her face. My wolf remained coiled,

alert, protective, furious at anyone who had done this to her.

I leaned closer again, whispering softly, “You hear me? You stay here. You fight through this. You’re stronger than any poison. You’re stronger than them.”

Cole and my mother stood behind me, silent, watching. Cole’s jaw was tight, his hands clenched, my mother’s face was pale, but she nodded slightly at me, acknowledging the urgency, the relief.

“Daniel,” the doctor said, looking me in the eye. “You need to let me do my job. You staying calm helps her more than anything else. She feels your tension.”

I exhaled slowly. “I… I can’t just stand there. I can’t…” My voice trailed off. I shook my head, pressing my lips to her forehead. “I’m not leaving. I’m not letting anything happen to you.”

The doctor’s voice softened. “Then stay here, just… stay calm. Let her feel you.”

I nodded, gripping her hand tighter. My wolf simmered, ready to unleash at any threat. Every sense was sharpened. Every nerve was alert. I was hyper–aware of the machines, the monitors, her chest rising and falling with mechanical rhythm.

Minutes passed, each second drawn out painfully. Amy’s body was still weak, her face pale, but the BP readings were now falling steadily toward safe levels.

I whispered, “You hear that? You’re stabilizing. You’re going to make it. I’m right here, every second.”

Her fingers moved again, curling slightly around mine. I felt it as a tiny miracle. My chest constricted with relief and lingering rage. Whoever did this would pay. I swore it silently, every nerve thrumming with anger.

The doctor checked one last time. “She’s out of immediate danger. Keep her sedated for the night. She’ll be safe as long as the ventilator and medication continue.”

I let out a long breath I hadn’t realized I was holding. My hands never left hers. I sank slightly in the chair, exhaustion pressing in, but I couldn’t sleep. Not yet. Not while she lay there, fragile, still recovering from something that had almost killed her.

I leaned closer again, voice barely above a whisper. “Amy… you’re alive. I’ve got you. I’ll never let anything happen to you again. Not now, not ever.”

The room was quiet except for the steady hiss of the ventilator, her soft, regulated breathing, and my heartbeat thudding in my chest. My wolf still prowled beneath the surface, ready, alert, dangerous.

I realized, as I pressed my forehead to her hand, that the next few days would be the most critical. I had to protect her, stabilize her, shield her. And when she was stronger… when she

could stand again–I would make them pay. Every single one of them.

For now, though, I stayed silent, watching, holding, whispering her name, willing her to keep fighting.

Day in, day out. I did not leave Amy’s side. Not for a second. The machines around her beeped in steady patterns, but every sound felt like a threat. I sat in the chair beside her bed, elbows on my knees, fingers locked together so tight my knuckles ached. Her chest rose and fell with the ventilator’s push. That was the only thing keeping me calm.

My mother came in again. She had been coming in and out since dawn, checking on me more than she checked on herself. Her face looked tired, the lines on her forehead deeper than I remembered.

“Daniel,” she said softly, “you need to rest.”

“I’m fine,” I muttered.

“You’re not fine. You haven’t showered. You haven’t eaten. You’re not even blinking properly.”

“I’m not leaving her.” I replied.
