Marked by Him, Reborn Without HimOne
Selene's POV
Blood poured from Elior’s stomach as I pressed my trembling hands against the open wound, trying to stop what felt inevitable. His small body trembled, his skin turning ghostly pale with every passing second. He was slipping away, and all I could do was hold him and beg the universe not to take him.
“Sweetheart, stay with me,” I whispered, voice ragged and shaking as I leaned closer to his face. “Daddy’s on his way… he has to be.”
Tears clouded my eyes as I reached for my phone, fingers slipping on the blood-slick surface. The device nearly fell, but I managed to fumble it into place and hit the call button. Ring after ring—it felt like an eternity. Then, finally—he answered.
“Alpha!” I gasped out, barely holding back the scream in my throat. “Elior’s been hurt. Badly. We’re—We’re in a cave just beyond the park. A rogue attacked us, and he’s losing so much blood!”
“Where exactly?” Ronan’s voice broke through the line, sharp and urgent.
“The far side of the park, just past the cliffs,” I choked out, clinging to the hope in his tone. “Please, Ronan. Our little boy—he’s slipping away.”
