Chasing His Wolfless Luna Back (Rayna Quinn) novel Chapter 190

First Hello–2

I felt a wave of relief, thanking the Moon Goddess for the timely intervention. Leo was immediately distracted, practically beaming with excitement.

“Alpha, you’ll need to accompany him,” the head nurse said as Leo eagerly grabbed her

hand.

I nodded and followed them.

We were first taken to a sterilization room where we were fitted with sterile isolation gowns, gloves, and masks. Then we were led into the neonatal intensive care unit. After passing several incubators, we stopped at a specific one.

“Leo, this is Phoenix,” the head nurse smiled.

One look at her and I was completely captivated. Though she wasn’t my blood, in that moment, I felt my heart seized by this tiny life.

Phoenix, though premature, was extraordinarily beautiful. Her eyes were closed, so I couldn’t see their color, but from her tiny nose to her lips to the wisp of hair peeking out from under her pink cap, she was the spitting image of Thea. A perfect copy of her

mother.

Seeing all those tubes connected to her small body made my heart ache. She shouldn’t have to go through this. She should still be safe in her mother’s womb and enter this world for another three months.

We stayed for a while until the nurse told us we needed to leave. Leo and I removed our protective gear and walked back to the waiting room. I felt like I was walking in a dream- both awake and dazed, as if caught between two worlds.

“Where’s Maximus?” I asked, sitting down next to Damien.

Seraphina sat alone in the corner, looking haggard, her eyes hollow, clearly having cried for a long time.

“He went to see Thea,” Damien answered. “The hospital said they can only allow one person at a time to ensure Thea’s condition remains stable, so Seraphina went in first.”

The head nurse appeared again, asking who else wanted to visit Phoenix. Graves stepped forward and, surprisingly, no one objected. She took him away.

“How’s the little one?” Damien asked after they left.

“She’s beautiful,” Leo’s eyes sparkled. “She really looks like Mom.”

Before I could figure out why he was in such a hurry, the answer appeared before me- Kane was being escorted into the waiting area by two officers.
