Slowly, I took careful steps towards her bed.

She was still fast asleep, maybe knocked out from anaesthesia, but she still managed to look peaceful. I glanced at Luka who was already by her side holding her hand against his lips with gratitude with a mixture of uncertainty in his eyes.

He looked less tense than before, but I had a feeling that his fear wouldn't subside until he saw her eyes open again.

I stopped a few inches away from the bed and Levi snuggled himself beside her without putting too much pressure on her. Her chest rose and fell slowly, indicating evidence of life in her body. It was enough to calm my nerves.

Sighing, I sat beside her across from where Luka was sitting. I swept a strand of hair from her face and really took in her appearance.

She had a busted lip and stitches on her left eyebrow, but her face didn't look much different thankfully. She did, however, look fragile under those casts. Maybe it was just my mind, but I didn't like it.

But I had to resist the urge to go weak on her. She was always strong for me, and I felt like I shed way too many tears for one night. So, I held her free hand and closed my eyes, silently whispering a prayer for her health.

It felt like hours since we were there in silence. It wasn't uncomfortable, since I could still feel the bond to this pack, so I felt the strong sense of comfort we were stringing to each other. But I couldn't ignore the fact that I was getting tired. The constant beep of the machine was beginning to sound like a lullaby.

My eyes flickered open and searched for a clock. I saw that it was almost midnight, so I decided to call it a night. Levi was silently sleeping beside his mom with his head gently resting on her abdomen and his arm draped over her frame, but even in his sleep he seemed to be keeping most of his weight off her.

Luka was still in his chair with his fingers intertwined in hers and his head leaning back against the chair head. I quietly kissed Levi and Victoria's head then did the same with Luka. His eyes flickered open at contact, and he offered me a small smile before straightening up with a groan.
