Silence.
It felt like a blanket. Suffocating me.
I couldn’t breath. I couldn’t think. Silence wrapped around me in a vise.
She was beautiful. She was perfect.
She had no pulse.
Her skin was too pale, her eyes closed her long lashes sweeping along her pale cheeks, she almost looked as if she was
sleeping. No heartbeat. Not a sound came from her tiny body.
Wails of anguish and grief filled the air ripping from my chest leaving me bleeding. Tears blinded me but it wasn’t long
before Lee was holding me his body shuddering around mine his own tears splashing onto my shoulders.
I clutched to my mate screaming my pain.
I didn’t want this. I didn’t want to bury another child. We had been so close. So close to being a family, but our chance
had been taken again.
A small prick in my left arm barely reached my thoughts before I felt myself slowly sliding into darkness. “Why did she
have to be taken away.” I rasped brokenly.
“I don’t know Angel.” My mate whispered before everything went dark my grief following me into my slumber.
I blinked slowly my body feeling weightless. Where was I?
I blinked pain chocking me as everything came back. I grabbed at my stomach and instantly felt empty. My baby.
I looked around the room and spotted Lee resting in a chair beside the bed.
As if realizing I was awake Lee jerked up his eyes wide. Once he settled on me his shoulders slumped A greit stricken look
touched his face. Without saying anything he moved onto the bed and wrapped his arms tight around me.
“It’s going to be okay.‘ He whispered rocking us slightly
I nodded my head not knowing if it was for my sake or his.
I didn’t understand Why me? Why my baby?
I felt so sad and angry that I just wanted to scream till I could scream no longer
“Where is she?” I asked looking around.
‘I–I don’t know. I think the doctor took her.” Lee mumbled.

“I want to see her one last time.” I stated sitting up.
Lee nodded but stopped me from getting up. “I’ll go get her but you need to stay here your not well enough to move yet.”
I swallowed hard and nodded.
I watched him leave silently then closed my eyes and prayed.
Lyra P.O.V
I stared down at the pale little face. She was so pretty and small. I didn’t understand why the goddess hadn’t let her live. Were Ambria and Lee not good enough?
I had snuck into the room after the doctor left wanting to get a look at her.
Maybe I could help in some way.
I was after all suppose to be the next queen. I had the powers and all but….I didn’t know how to use them. Frustration
and sorrow welled in me.
The one before me had raised her brother from the dead why shouldn’t I be able to give life to this baby?
I just didn’t know what to do. I sob of helplessness escaped me as I picked up the pink bundle. I had been outside the
door when everything had gotten quiet. I had assumed that Ambria was done giving birth but then her screams of grief
shook me to my core. Lee’s had followed. I knew then.
Holding the bundle close to my chest I reached inside me for the spark of magic I knew I could touch. It was easier to
grasp when I was angry but in my despair I managed to grab it. Like a flame it grew inside me with heat and height.
“Come on.” I whispered.
As if sensing the desperate situation it bloomed inside me filling. Words I didn’t understand spilled from my lips in a odd
chant. In disbelief and awe I watched as a pink orb like thing pulled out of my chest and with a slam of power sinked
into the child’s. A scream busted from my lips as agonizing pain raced through me. Put in a split second I could actually
see it.
The goddess who looked everything like our text said stood in a meadow a crying infant in her arms She smiled at me
and slowly released the infant. The vision cut off and the next thing I knew I was falling darkness pulling at me.
Just as it consumed me the most beautiful sound filled me ears.
The sound of a baby first breath.
Ambria P.O.V
I wrinkled my nose and frowned as the sound of crying suddenly grew closer. I jerked up my heart in my throat as Lee’s scent grew closer with another that would always be with me.
I gasped and covered my mouth in shock as Lee slowly entered the room with our daughter, No longer was she pale and silent. Her face was scrunched up in a angry scowl as she wailed her little fist raised

A seb escaped me in my aw
I closed my eyes as my tears tell I could hear it. I could hear her little heart beat. Oh sweet heavens was it the most
beautiful sound in the world
“How I breathed as Lee drew closer tears streaking down his face.
Lyra‘ He smiled
He knelt in front of me and with shaking hands 1 gently laid a hand on her flushed cheek.
“My baby” I cried happily. The joy that was going through me would have killed a normal person. I felt as if nothing else
in my world matter as stared down at my baby,
Lee placed her into my arms and the weight of her there had more tears falling. I never imagined this moment would
be here. And it was all thanks to Lyra.
“My sweet baby.” I cooed through my tears.
Lee wrapped his arm around me and stared down at our miracle. She was no longer crying anymore but staring up at
me with big clear blue eyes.
I laid a soft kiss on her forehead “My baby.”
Lee reached down and let her grasp one of his fingers in her fist. Lee let out a chocked laugh and kissed me. “She’s really
here Angel Shes here.”
I nodded and held her closer.
This was amazing and so unbelievable that it was perfect.
Lyra had done the only thing she could. She gave me my baby.
