I caress my belly, trying to feel the small life growing inside me.
My heart rejoices, but my mind doesn't. It isn't just Torrin I have to protect now, but our baby too.
I turn to Damian, who's staring out the window with his body tense and his fists clenched.
"I hope you won't include my baby in all of this," I say, my voice trembling.
He turns toward me and responds, "I won't force you into an abortion, if that's what you're thinking. But this gives me the reason to stop prolonging Torrin's existence."
My heart thuds loudly in my ears.
He doesn't need to keep Alpha Torrin alive, since I can no longer threaten him that I'll kill myself if Alpha Torrin is killed.
I close my eyes, trying to calm down and focus. But even when my mind and heart finally settle, I still don't feel the surge of my ShadowBind. Am I still too weak to activate it?
"Why isn't it working?" I mumble.
