Chapter 0115

Leaving only the roses, still in their place.

1 merely stare at him as he walks away, not bothering to respond.

"Thank you," I say quietly to Alaric. "He was quite... insistent..." I say.

Alaric cocks an eyebrow at me. He opens his mouth to speak, but is interrupted by Dr. Marlow, who sticks her head out of Mia's treatment room.

"Oh, Alpha King, you're here!" the doctor says, laying eyes on Alaric. "Thank you for responding so quickly, granting my request for the patient's medicine."

Alaric nods his head at her, and extends his arm toward the doctor, a small brown box in his hand. "I wanted to deliver it personally. I hope this helps," he's looking at the doctor with a gentle smile. A gentle smile?

That doesn't sound like Alaric at all...

"May I join you?" he asks me softly, gesturing his hand towards the now open door to Mia's room.

My mouth is agape, surprised that he's so eager to witness Mia's treatment. I nod my head and quickly dart into the room. I want to watch what happens as they deliver the medicine to my daughter. I say a silent prayer to the Goddess, hoping it works.

Dr. Marlow pushes a syringe of the rare medicine into the tubes connected to Mia's arm. I watch as the liquid enters Mia's hind leg.

Mia's whimpering and quivering stops almost instantaneously.

I breathe out a sigh of relief. At least it's helping, whatever this medicine is.

""How is she?"

"Is she still in wolf form?"

"We came as quickly as we could."

The room is suddenly filled with words and questions as my family arrives. One after another, my brothers Colin, Ryan, and Aidan filter in. My best friend Ruby follows just behind them. "Is she going to be alright?" Colin asks me worriedly.

"Is the compound working?" Ruby asks Dr. Marlow.

Chapter 0115

By way of an answer, a shimmer appears around Mia. Before our very eyes, the little bright red wolf transforms, shifting into the young girl we know and love. It's Mia.

Back in human form.

Aidan whoops in joyous praise to the medical team.

I see a smile of obvious relief tug at the corners of Alaric's mouth as I turn to see him still standing behind me.

Mia's green eyes flutter open, the motion slow and deliberate. She smiles brightly at us before closing her eyes once again, laying her head back against the pillow. "Alright, alright. Please give her some space. The patient needs to rest!" Dr. Marlow says to the crowd of us gathered in the room.

Everyone takes another look at Mia before filing back out of the room one-by-one. Just before Alaric leaves, he gently strokes Mia's little hand with a supportive pet. I'm taken aback by the tenderness of the gesture.

Finally, it's just me and my daughter alone in the room. I lean down and bring her into a warm hug, relishing the feeling of her very human form beneath me.

"You came back to me," I whisper in her ear. "My strong and brave little girl," I say wistfully.

"Mommy..." Mia whisper back to me weakly. Her eyes remain closed, like she's too weak to open them.

"What is it Mia? What can I get for you? What do you need?" I ask, brushing a strand of her bright red hair back behind her ear.

"I want..." She says, her voice strained and thick with exhaustion.

"Yes, my darling?" I ask again.

Whatever it is, I'll get it for her. She's such a fighter. I'll do whatever I can to make her more comfortable.

Mia's eyes flutter open again, and it looks like it takes immense strength for her to keep them open.

"I want.... a daddy," she finally finishes.
