The sound of tires on gravel pulled me from the quiet of the house. I was still half–dressed, only trousers, skin damp from the shower when I crossed to the door, heart already lifting at the thought of her.
Snow.
I opened it wide, ready to pull her inside, ready to lose myself in her warmth after hours apart.
But the moment I saw her face, everything inside me stilled.
She moved like someone carrying the weight of a collapsed sky, shoulders bowed, steps slow and deliberate, as though each one cost more than she had left to give.
Her eyes were red–rimmed, cheeks streaked with the ghost of tears that had already dried and fallen again.
Exhaustion carved deep shadows beneath her lashes; grief had hollowed her out until she looked fragile enough to shatter if!
breathed too hard.
“Snow p>
The word barely left my lips before fresh tears welled in her eyes. She stepped across the threshold without a word, straight into
my arms.
I wrapped her up immediately, tight, careful, like she might break if I held too hard.
One hand cradled the back of her head; the other pressed between her shoulder blades. She trembled against me, small and fierce and falling apart all at once.
I pulled back just enough to cup her face, thumbs brushing away the newest tears. God, I hated this. Hated seeing her like this. Broken, blaming herself, drowning in something I couldn’t yet reach.
“Snow,” I said again, softer, pleading. “What happened p>
“It’s all my fault, Cupid.” Her voice cracked open, raw. “Everything… it’s my fault p>
“Nothing is your fault.” The words came fierce and immediate, even before I knew the full shape of the wound. “Tell me. What happened p>
She drew a shaky breath, then stepped back just far enough to meet my eyes.
“It’s Mrs. Mane, She… she died. Excessive bleeding. Internal. They couldn’t stop it p>
The name hit like cold steel. Mrs. Mane. Dove’s mother. The quiet omega who had endured too much for too long.
I frowned, confusion sharpening into dread.
“You didn’t… take them away? Like we talked about the other night p>
She shook her head, trembling so hard I felt it in my bones.

“We had it planned for tomorrow. We found the most beautiful, peaceful neighborhood, only a few blocks from Mother’s healing home, I was going to go with them, sign the papers, enroll the triplets in a new school so he couldn’t track them down. We had everything ready, Cupid.
“Everything. And then… they fought. He saw the house photos, realized we were really leaving for good. He lost it. Slammed her head against the wall. She bled out before the ambulance could get there. She’s an omega, her wolf couldn’t fight long enough. And it’s my fault because I didn’t push harder, didn’t force them out sooner p>
I closed the distance again, pulling her back into my chest before the spiral could swallow her whole. My arms locked around her, one hand stroking slow circles down her spine.
“It’s not your fault,” I murmured into her hair. “None of it. You did everything you could, more than anyone else would have. You fought for them when no one else did. This is on him. Not you, Never you p>
We stood like that for long minutes, her tears soaking my bare skin, my heartbeat trying to steady hers until the worst of the shaking eased.
She pulled back slowly, eyes searching mine, still glassy but clearer now.
“I should get back to the hospital,” she said quietly. “Dove’s admitted. I need to bring her some clothes p>
She moved toward the bedroom. I followed.
in the closet she pulled out soft dresses, leggings, a warm cardigan, things that would feel like comfort instead of hospital scratch.
She folded them with careful hands, placed them in a small duffel, zipped it shut. Then she turned, bag in hand, and looked at me with something new in her expression, something heavy and searching.
“Is Marlik a good person p>
The question caught me off guard.
Why now? Of all the nights, why him?
But her eyes were serious, deadly serious and she waited.
I nodded once, Slow. Certain.
“He is p>
She sniffed, shaky, then reached into the side pocket of her bag and pulled out a folded sheet of paper. She extended it to me without a word.
I took it. Unfolded it.
Lab results. Pregnancy panel. Positive. Several weeks.
My face drained of color. The room tilted for half a heartbeat.
“Dove requested an abortion,” Snow said quietly. “Castle Healthcare won’t allow it, illegal under pack law, but I know her. She’ll find a way. Back–alley. Underground. Anything. My brothers might not stop her once they know who the father is p>
“Why?” The word came out rough. “Marlik isn’t worthy p>

She shook her head, exhausted.
“Because he doesn’t look like the kind of man who stays. Who wants a wife. A family. Who’s responsible in that way” She swallowed hard.
“It’s going to be impossible for me to convince them otherwise. I’ve met his family. I know who he really is. Kind, loyal, protective But they only see the rogue.
“Dove also only see the one–night stand. She heard him say something that the night, something casual, careless and she believed
it
“She thinks that’s all it was to him. The pup will be gone before it even has a heartbeat p>
She slung the bag over her shoulder, and headed for the door.
I took it from her without asking, carried it to her car, placed it gently in the backseat, opened the driver’s door for her.
She paused before sliding in, turning to search my face with those storm–gray eyes.
“You should talk to Marlik,” she said softly. “He listens to you better than anyone. If he wants the pup… if he’s willing to fight for it… then he needs to show up at Castle Healthcare.
“As long as he proves he’s serious, really serious, I believe my human family will approve guardianship. They’ll let it happen p>
