Marked By the Pureblood Alpha (Deanna and Luis) novel Chapter 445

Deanna's POV:

Through the haze of agony and confusion, I heard him. Luis.

His hand gripped mine tightly. I forced my eyes open. There he was. The man I had waited for.

My vision blurred as tears filled my eyes.

He swallowed hard. "We are never doing this again. No more babies."

I wanted to laugh. I wanted to tell him it was okay. But the pain surged again, tearing through me.

The doctor shouted above the noise. "One more! Push!"

I couldn't speak. I had no strength left. I gave everything I had.

Then, a sharp, clear cry broke through the chaos.

It was loud and strong. Bursting with life.

The doctor's face lit up.

"She's here! It's a girl!"

Relief washed over me. My body gave out.

I finally drifted to sleep.

...

Luis's POV:

Deanna lay unconscious in the private room. She looked fragile. Her lashes rested on her cheeks.

I sat frozen beside her. One hand held hers, pressed against my cheek.

The other held a letter. The paper was creased. Her handwriting filled the page.

She must have written it not long ago.

Her handwriting was beautiful, and I could feel how much it meant to her.

"Luis,

"I've been meaning to talk to you. But I keep falling asleep.

"Maybe the baby's getting ready to meet us. Saving up strength.

"You're always gone during the day.

"By the time you're home, I'm already out cold.

"So I wrote this letter to keep me company.

"The doctor checks on me every day.

"He said the baby could come anytime now.

"That scared me. But I'm excited too.

"I've been even more careful lately.

"At first, none of this felt real. But now I can't stop wondering what she'll look like.
