He was tasked with gathering Claire and her belongings, preparing to wheel her out of this hospital.

I had no intention of leaving until I witnessed with my own eyes that despicable woman exit the building and fade into the distance, where she belonged. With Amelia still confined within these sterile walls, I felt an urgency to be vigilant, ready for any possible betrayal or trickery that Claire might attempt. Claire was nothing if not cunning. I had no doubt she was plotting something even now. But this time, her schemes would not come to fruition. I would protect Amelia with every ounce of my being, even if it meant laying down my life in the process.

Damien, fully aware of my volatile temper and justifiably wary, remained at my side. We stood there, arms crossed, our gazes locked on the door, both of us anticipating the moment it would swing open. I had already conveyed my concerns about Annette to him, and he had acknowledged my warning. There was no further discussion needed; the air was thick with unspoken tension. I would carry the weight of resentment against Damien for his role in Amelia's attack forever.

Under his watch, the snakes had gathered, and if he had fulfilled his duty as Amelia's mate, none of this chaos would have unfolded. Our lives would have been so different now. But he hadn't protected her. So here we were, mired in this grim reality. After what felt like an eternity, the door creaked open, and Claire emerged in her wheelchair, Keegan dutifully pushing her along. She clutched a purse in her lap, a hospital blanket draped over her shoulders, giving the impression of a fragile patient rather than the malevolent force she truly embodied.

"I shouldn't be moved so quickly after giving so much blood," she protested, her voice laced with feigned vulnerability. "There is water in the car," Keegan replied, his tone practical. "Keegan will stop at a drive-thru," Damien interjected, exchanging a knowing nod with his Beta. "After you eat something, you'll feel better." "Such callousness, Damien. After all I've done for you," Claire retorted, her tone dripping with false hurt. "Get her out of here," I growled, my irritation bubbling to the surface as I recognized her manipulative tactics.

Keegan shot me a blank look, his loyalty to Damien evident, but he quickly turned to his Alpha for direction. "Go on," Damien commanded, unfazed by Claire's protests. Claire's gaze shifted to me, her eyes narrowing in scrutiny. "You certainly are protective of a woman who isn't Amelia," she observed, her tone probing. I could sense her intent, the way she sought to unravel my defenses. She was astute, far too perceptive for her own good. Despite our conversations, she still harbored suspicions that Annette might be the true Amelia.

She wanted a slip, a hint that she could exploit to pry the truth from me. But I would not grant her that satisfaction. "Stay away from Annette and my family," I stated bluntly, my voice cold and unwavering. "Or I will kill you." There was no need to sugarcoat my words for her; she understood the gravity of my threat. I had already warned Damien, but delivering the message directly to Claire felt necessary. If she dared to approach Amelia again, I would not hesitate. It was as simple as that. Claire's expression darkened as she turned her attention back to Damien.

"You're going to allow him to speak to me like that?" "Yes," Damien replied, his tone unwavering, not even a flicker of hesitation in his voice. Her face flushed with anger, turning a mottled shade of red. "I am a member of your pack, being threatened by an opposing Alpha. It is your duty to-" "Keegan," Damien interrupted, his voice firm. "It's time to go." "Right," Keegan said, and began wheeling her away, his movements efficient and unyielding. I shot a glance at Damien, but he seemed resolute in his decision to remain in the hallway. That wasn't sufficient for me.

I needed Claire gone-completely. So, I trailed them, keeping a few paces behind as Keegan maneuvered Claire out the front doors and towards their waiting car. He assisted her into the backseat, then neatly folded her wheelchair and stowed it in the trunk. A driver was already present, so Keegan climbed into the passenger seat. I continued to watch, my eyes fixed on the vehicle as it began to pull away. I didn't look away until it vanished from my sight, disappearing around the corner.

**Damien's POV** Although there was a chance that Jake might lash out at Claire the moment they were out of my line of sight, I had faith in Keegan to handle the situation. He would either defend himself or alert me if things turned dangerous. The truth was, I was utterly exhausted from dealing with Claire and longed to return to my daughter. Entering Amelia's room, I found her still asleep, her small body lying motionless on the bed, surrounded by a network of machines that beeped and whirred. I had always envisioned her as the healthy one, the one I wouldn't need to worry about.

Seeing her in such a vulnerable state shattered something deep within me. I wanted my little girl to be safe and whole again. Moving closer to her bedside, I gently took her tiny hand in mine. I wasn't a healer; I lacked any abilities that could mend her condition. The only thing I could offer was my presence, a steadfast rock for her to hold onto when she woke. I promised myself I would remain right here, anchored in this spot until she opened her eyes again. Time slipped away; it could have been mere minutes or perhaps an hour or two.

Eventually, Annette, Sienna, and a few other healers entered the room. Annette carried a familiar blood bag, her expression focused and determined. "It's time," Amelia announced, her voice steady. I watched intently as the group of healers began to set up the transfusion, careful to give them space while remaining close to my daughter. As the procedure unfolded, the atmosphere in the room felt charged, everyone holding their breath in anticipation, eyes glued to my daughter. Slowly, color began to return to her cheeks, a promising sign that filled me with hope.

Once the transfusion was complete, Annette and another healer began inspecting my daughter, conducting tests and checking the readings with meticulous care. "It's good news," Annette finally said, her voice radiating relief. "These readings are significantly better than before. We'll need to monitor her closely, but I believe we can all breathe a little easier now." A long breath of relief escaped my lips. "Good. Thank you." I glanced at my daughter's face, noticing the newfound peace that seemed to envelop her.

"Any idea when she will wake up?" "It's uncertain," Annette replied, her tone thoughtful. "But it should be within a day." I nodded, resolute. I would wait for her, no matter how long it took. The healers began to gather their used supplies, wheeling them out of the room one by one. Sienna followed suit. Eventually, the room was cleared, leaving only Annette and me. I looked over at her, noting how she appeared ready to remain, to keep watch over Stacy just as I was. But that wasn't necessary; I was here to protect her. And maybe Jake was right.

I could pose a danger to Annette, just as I had to Amelia, especially with Claire reinstated in my pack. The best way I could safeguard Annette was to keep her far, far away from me. "You can leave now," I told her, my voice harsher than I intended. I regretted the way she flinched at my words. I hadn't meant to hurt her; I was merely trying to do what I thought was right. "Right," she replied, her tone awkward. She fumbled with the folder in her hands, clearly flustered. "Of course." As she exited the room, I was convinced I had made the right decision. Yet...

a nagging sense of regret lingered within me, refusing to dissipate. Conclusion As Claire was wheeled away, a sense of finality washed over me, mingling with the remnants of tension that had coiled tightly in my chest. I had stood my ground, fiercely protecting Amelia from the shadows of a woman whose malevolence knew no bounds. The threat was momentarily extinguished, yet the battle within me raged on. I felt the weight of my choices pressing down, the responsibility for Amelia's safety intertwining with the painful acknowledgment of my failures.

Damien's trust in Keegan to handle Claire reassured me, but my heart remained restless, haunted by the fear that the peace we had fought for was merely a fleeting illusion. In the sterile quiet of Amelia's room, a flicker of hope ignited as I watched the color return to her cheeks, a testament to the resilience that lay within her. Yet, as Annette prepared to leave, I felt a pang of regret for pushing her away, for believing that my pain could somehow shield her from danger. The truth was, I was just as vulnerable as Amelia, tethered by love and fear in equal measure.
