But the babies seemed to know exactly what to do. Seemed to be guiding my power, controlling it in a way I never could on my own. It was beau Terrifying. Overwhelming.
I felt Tristan’s skull knitting back together, the fracture closing like it had never been. Felt his internal bleeding stopping, the torn vessels sealing
his leg bones realigning, fusing, becoming whole again.
Every injury. Every wound. Healing.
And then…
His eyes opened.
I gasped, the connection breaking as shock rippled through me. Tristan’s eyes, those dark eyes I loved so much, were looking right at me. Clear. Fo

“Athena?” His voice was rough, confused. “What p>
Before he could finish, before any of us could react, his hand came up to touch my face. His movements were slow, careful, like he wasn’t sure if th
was real.
“You’re here,” he said softly.
“I’m here,” I managed, tears streaming down my face. “I’m here and you’re okay. You’re going to be okay p>
Behind me, I heard someone exhale sharply. Probably Orion. The relief in the room was palpable, thick enough to taste.
Tristan’s hand moved from my face to my stomach, his palm pressing gently where our babies grew. “The babies,” he said, remembering. Are they p>
“They’re fine. We’re all fine. You … ” My voice broke. “You scared me so badly. I thought I lost you p>
“Not a chance.” He tried to smile, wincing slightly. “Takes more than a bike to take me down p>
“Don’t,” I said, half–laughing, half–crying. “Don’t joke about it. You were dying, Tristan. Literally dying p>
His eyes widened at that, the reality of what had happened sinking in.
‘How am I not dead? I remember…god, I remember hitting the ground. My head… His free hand moved to touch his head, feeling for the gash that no longer there. “What happened? How long was 1 out?
We all looked at each other. How was I going to tell him?
Dr. Ben burst through the door, clearly having seen the monitor changes from wherever he was watching. He stopped short when he saw fratch alert, his hand on my stomach.
“ This is…” Dr. Chen looked at the monitors, then at Tristan, then back at the monitors. This is impossible. You were quest. Brain selling, taternal bleeding, multiple fractures…

Finally, he just nodded. “I see. Well, I’ll need to run some tests. Make sure everything is actually healed and not just p>
“Everything is healed,” I said softly. “I promise p>
His eyes met mine and I saw understanding there. Not complete understanding, he didn’t know exactly what I’d done, but enough to know that something beyond normal Alpha healing had happened here.
‘I’ll run the tests anyway, he said diplomatically. “For my records. But I suspect you’re right.” He turned to leave, pausing at the door. “You have a very strong will to live, young man. And very dedicated people who care about you p>
After he left, silence fell over the room. Tristan was still processing, still trying to understand. His eyes kept moving between me and his own body, checking for injuries that weren’t there anymore.
“Someone want to tell me what really happened?” he asked finally.
“You won the race, Derek said, grinning. “Kicked ass against six guys working together. It was legendary p>
