I woke to the low hum of machines and the faint sound of footsteps outside the room. The place still smelled sterile, like medicine and cleaning agents layered over expensive wood and glass. I had learned enough by now to know I was still in the same building. Still trapped. Still unseen by the world that mattered.

I pushed myself up slowly. My body felt heavier than it had days ago, but the sharp pain was gone. My breathing was steadier. My wolf stirred inside me, not restless like before, just alert. Watching.

The door opened quietly.

Mara stepped in, holding a tray. She paused when she saw me sitting upright.

“You’re awake early,” she said.

“I didn’t really sleep,” I replied. My voice sounded rough. “How long was I out?”

“A few hours,” she said, placing the tray on the small table beside the bed. “That’s better than yesterday.”

She poured water into a glass and handed it to me. I took it with both hands and drank slowly.

“Any pain?” she asked.

“Not like before,” I said. “Just… tired.”

She nodded, like she expected that answer. “That’s normal.”

I watched her carefully. Mara had been kind since the beginning, but kindness didn’t erase the fact that she worked for the people holding me here.

“Am I still being moved?” I asked.

She hesitated. Just a second. But I noticed.

“Not today,” she said. “The doctor wants to observe you a little longer.”

“Observe me for what?” I asked.

“For stability,” she replied. “Both yours and the baby’s.”

My grip tightened on the glass.

“So it’s confirmed,” I said quietly. “I’m pregnant.”

“Yes,” she said. Her voice softened. “You are.”

I looked down at my hands. I didn’t know what I had expected to feel when the word finally settled. Fear was there. So was anger. But beneath all of it was something heavier. A deep sadness that sat in my chest and refused to move.

“I almost died the last time,” I said.

Mara didn’t interrupt.

“My body nearly shut down,” I continued. “My wolf went silent. I lost everything.”

“I know,” she said gently. “Your records mentioned complications.”

“That’s one way to put it,” I said.

She pulled a chair closer and sat. “This pregnancy is different,” she said. “Your body is responding differently.”

“It’s responding too fast,” I said, meeting her eyes. “That’s what the doctor said.”

She nodded. “Yes. That’s why they’re watching you closely.”

“They,” I repeated. “Not you. Them.”

She didn’t deny it.

“Who exactly is making these decisions?” I asked.

Mara sighed. “I don’t have the authority to answer that.”

“But you know,” I pressed.

“I know some things,” she said carefully. “Not everything.”

“Do you know why I’m still here?” I asked.

Her lips parted, then closed again. “I know why you’re important.”

“That’s not the same thing,” I said.

“No,” she agreed. “It’s not.”

Silence stretched between us. Outside, I heard voices. Male. Controlled. Not close enough to make out

words.

“Has anyone tried to contact me?” I asked.

She shook her head. “No calls. No messages.”

“Do you know if anyone is looking for me?” I asked.

Her eyes softened. “I believe so.”

“That’s not an answer,” I said.

“It’s the safest one I can give,” she replied.

I leaned back against the pillows, My head felt clear, but my chest felt tight.

“Do they plan to keep me here until I give birth?” I asked.

“I don’t know,” she said. “That hasn’t been decided.”

“By who?” I asked again.

She stood up. “I’ll get the doctor. He’ll want to see you’re awake.”

She moved toward the door, then paused.

“For what it’s worth,” she said quietly, “you’re not being hurt on purpose.”

I let out a short, humorless laugh. “That doesn’t make this okay.”

“I know,” she said, then left.

A few minutes later, the doctor came in. He was older, calm, and far too comfortable in this place.

“How are we feeling today?” he asked.

“I don’t know,” I said. “You tell me.”

He gave a small smile and checked the monitors. “Your temperature is normal. Blood pressure is stable. Your wolf’s activity has reduced significantly.”

“Is that good?” I asked.

“In this case,” he said, “yes.”

“And the pregnancy?” I asked.

He turned to face me fully. “It’s progressing faster than average. Not dangerously fast yet, but enough to l concerning.”

“Concerning how?” I asked.

“It puts extra strain on your body,” he said. “Your previous medical history makes that strain more risky.”

“So what’s the plan?” I asked.

“To manage it,” he said. “Carefully.”

“Here?” I asked.

“For now,” he replied.

“For now,” I echoed.

He studied me for a moment. “You want to know if this will kill you.”

I didn’t answer. I didn’t need to.

“There is a risk,” he said honestly. “But there’s also a chance you’ll be fine.”

“That’s not comforting.” I said.

“I know,” he said. “But it’s the truth.”

He finished his checks and stepped back. “You’ll need to rest. No stress. No emotional spikes.”

I looked at him flatly. “I’m a prisoner.”

“Yes,” he said. “Which is why we’re doing everything we can medically.”

“That doesn’t address the rest,” I said.

“No,” he agreed. “It doesn’t.”

After he left, I sat alone again. The room felt too large. Too quiet.

I thought about Daniel. About his face the last time I saw him. I wondered if he was tearing the world apar looking for me or if he was being forced to choose between me and something bigger.

I pressed a hand to my stomach. I didn’t feel anything yet. No movement. No sign that there was a life growing inside me again.

“I don’t know if I can do this,” I whispered.

My wolf shifted, not in protest, not in fear. Just present.

Later that day, two unfamiliar women came in. They wore plain clothes and moved like guards pretendir not to be guards.

“You’re being relocated within the building,” one of them said.
