Bound To The Broken Alpha (Amy and Daniel) novel Chapter 57

**When Dawn Breaks Slowly Hope Finds Space To Grow by Jin Rowan**

**Chapter 57: Can You Hear Me?**

**AMY**

The air in the hallway was thick with hushed murmurs, a symphony of anxious voices that echoed against the walls of the house. Nurses moved with purpose, their shoes softly tapping against the floor, while the doctor stood stoically near the staircase, exuding an aura of authority and calm. Mrs. Carter descended the stairs, her posture regal, with Elias trailing behind her, his expression unreadable.

As soon as I caught sight of them, urgency propelled me forward. “What happened?” I blurted out, my heart racing with a mix of hope and fear.

Mrs. Carter’s eyes sparkled with an intensity that I had not seen in ages. “It’s Daniel,” she exclaimed, her voice trembling with emotion. “He’s showing signs of waking up. He moved, Amy. He actually moved.”

Time seemed to freeze around me. “He… moved?” The words barely escaped my lips, as disbelief washed over me.

Dr. Mendez stepped closer, his gaze steady and reassuring. “Yes,” he confirmed, nodding emphatically. “His neural activity spiked around dawn. I observed his fingers twitch, and for the first time in months, his eyes reacted to light. His body is responding again.”

A wave of silence enveloped me, leaving me momentarily speechless. I turned my gaze toward the hallway that led to his room, an invisible pull urging me forward. “Can I see him?” I asked, my voice barely above a whisper.

Mrs. Carter’s smile was faint yet filled with warmth. “Of course. You should.”

With renewed determination, I walked past the gathered figures, my heart pounding as I entered the room. There lay Daniel, as he always had, but something about him felt different. A subtle flush of color graced his cheeks, a sign of life where there had only been stillness. His hand lay gently on the blanket, and as I reached out to touch it, I felt the faintest flicker of movement, like a pulse stirring after a prolonged silence.

“He’s fighting,” Dr. Mendez’s voice broke through my reverie, filled with a quiet awe. “Something has changed.”

Mrs. Carter stepped into the room, her tone softer now, almost reverent. “You’ve done well, Amy. Whatever you’ve been doing, it’s working.”

I met her gaze, uncertainty flickering within me. “I didn’t do anything extraordinary. I just made sure he was moved somewhere safe and talked to him, even though he can’t hear me.”

“Perhaps that was all it took,” she mused, a smile gracing her lips. “A wife’s presence can be powerful.”

Elias lingered at the door, his arms folded across his chest, a skeptical frown etched on his face. “Or maybe not,” he muttered under his breath.

Mrs. Carter shot him a sharp look, but he seemed unfazed. “It’s strange how Daniel starts to show signs of waking right after she insists on moving him. Doesn’t that seem a bit too convenient?”

I turned to him, my frustration bubbling to the surface. “You think I had something to do with this?”

“I think,” Elias replied, his tone cool and calculating, “that strange things happen around you. The council has already been discussing it. They don’t take kindly to coincidences.”

Mrs. Carter frowned, her protective instincts flaring. “That’s enough, Elias.”

But his words hung in the air, heavy and ominous. The following days spiraled into a whirlwind of tension. The pack council convened an emergency meeting, and I found myself summoned to attend. When I arrived, the elders were already seated, their expressions stern and judgmental. The atmosphere in the council room felt thick, almost suffocating.

The eldest among them spoke first, his voice grave. “Mrs. Carter, we’ve received reports regarding the Alpha heir’s condition. It has changed unexpectedly.”

Mrs. Carter nodded, her resolve evident. “Yes, and for the better.”

Rowan’s gaze shifted to me, his brow furrowed. “And this improvement began after his wife engaged in certain… actions?”

I frowned, confusion clouding my thoughts. “What actions?”

Elder Theron leaned forward, his eyes piercing. “Moving his room, spending long hours in solitude with him, and then, miraculously, he begins to wake. It has been foretold that the Alpha heir would not rise unless the balance of power was disturbed.”
