Chapter 200 Chapter 200 Reven's Pov 27 EI 65 vouchers I woke up this morning feeling tired and sick, my body heavier than it had been the night before . Maybe it was because I had cried until my eyes burned , until my pillow was soaked and my chest felt hollow . " Why won't you accept him ? " my wolf's voice pierced sharply through the fog of my thoughts . " You have suffered enough . Or are you happy living like this , always torn apart ? " I lay still on the bed , staring at the ceiling . Her question cut deep because it wasn't just a question ; it was an accusation . A truth I had been avoiding . " I don't know ... " I whispered back to her , though my lips barely moved . The truth was , I didn't even have the strength to utter a word louder than that . I felt fragile , breakable , as if one wrong thought could shatter me completely . My wolf was relentless . " You keep pushing him away , but can you honestly bear to see your babies born without a father ? Can you live with the emptiness that will follow you ? Derick is willing ; he is here . He is not Ethan . " Her words stirred a fresh ache in me . Ethan . The name itself was a blade . I closed my eyes , pressing my palm against my stomach as if holding my little ones closer . " But he isn't their father , " I murmured , my voice trembling with a lie I had repeated too often . I had told Derick once that I didn't know the father . That had been my way of shielding myself . Shielding the truth . Shielding Ethan from the responsibility I didn't believe he wanted . " You think Derick won't forgive you if he finds out ? " my wolf pushed , gentler this time . " He would . I feel it . He would forgive . Stop resisting , Raven . Stop punishing yourself . " I let out a shaky breath , exhaustion flooding me . " You think so ? " " I know so . He wants you . He wants them . Accept him . Let yourself live again ." Her certainty made me swallow hard . My throat was dry , my heart pounding . I couldn't argue anymore , not with her , not with myself . Maybe she was right . Maybe I had been clinging to pain for too long . " Alright , " I whispered into the silence of the room . " I hear you . I'll do it . I'll stop running . I'll accept him ." The words felt like surrender and relief all at once . I tried to push myself off the bed , to get up and prove to myself I could face him , but a sudden wave of dizziness knocked me back . My vision blurred , my knees buckled before I could stand , and I fell back onto the bed , clutching my stomach as a sharp pain twisted through me . " No ... " I gasped . " It's just four months . It's too soon . I can't ... " Panic surged . My body trembled as I curled into myself , arms wrapped protectively over my belly . Fear clawed at me what if something was wrong ? 19:14 Wed , Sep 17 . Chapter 200 Just then , the door burst open . : 27 55 vouchers " Raven ! " Derick's voice was urgent , full of panic . His tall frame filled the doorway , and in two strides he was at my side . I exhaled a shaky " thank goodness , " barely audible , as his arms reached to steady me , to help me lie back against the pillows . His hands were warm , firm , grounding me as he checked my forehead with the back of his palm . His eyes darkened immediately . " You're burning up . " " It's nothing , " I whispered , forcing a weak smile . " I'm fine . " " No , you're not fine , " he snapped , though his voice softened almost instantly . " When did this start ? " " Not long ago ," I admitted , my chest rising and falling unevenly . He frowned deeply , jaw tightening . " You should have called me sooner . " " I didn't want to worry you ," I murmured , eyes half - closed . " Well , you failed , " he said , and before I could stop him , he was already pulling out his phone . " I'm calling the doctor ." " No- " I tried to sit up , but his hand pressed against my shoulder , firm yet gentle . " It's not up for debate ," he said , and his tone left no room for argument . He stepped aside , pacing as he spoke quickly into the phone . Within minutes , there was a knock on the door . " Come in , " Derick called . The door opened , and an elderly man stepped in , carrying a worn leather medical bag . His hair was silver , his posture slightly bent with age , but his eyes were sharp and kind . He bowed respectfully toward Derick before approaching me . " My Luna ," he greeted softly , though I still wasn't used to being called that . He set the bag on the nightstand , pulling out a thermometer and stethoscope . The air smelled faintly of herbs and antiseptic as he worked . He checked my temperature , then placed the device over my belly , listening carefully . My heart raced until I heard the faint rhythm of two tiny heartbeats . " They're strong , " the doctor said , smiling faintly . Relief washed over me in a flood so overwhelming that my eyes filled with tears . After a series of gentle examinations , he turned toward Derick . " She's fine . What she's experiencing is not unusual - just some minor complications that occur during pregnancy . Rest and nourishment will help . " Derick let out a long breath , shoulders relaxing for the first time since he walked in . " Thank you . " The doctor nodded , packed his bag , and quietly excused himself . The room felt heavier once he was gone , filled with only the sound of my uneven breaths . Derick sat on the edge of the bed , his large hands reaching for my legs as he began to massage them gently . The warmth of his 19:14 Wed , Sep 17 d Chapter 200 ... : touch seeped into me , casing muscles I hadn't realized were tense . " Why are you so good to me ? " I whispered , staring at him . 27 55 vouchers " Because I want to be , " he replied simply , eyes meeting mine with a softness that made my chest ache . I opened my mouth to say more , but a sudden knock interrupted us . " Come in , " Derick called again . A maid entered , holding a tray with a steaming bowl of soup . She placed it on the bedside table and bowed quickly before leaving . Derick picked up the tray himself . " Sit up ," he said . " I can eat on my own , " I protested weakly . " I know , " he said , lifting the spoon . " But I want to feed you . " There was no arguing with the tenderness in his tone . He held the spoon to my lips , and I allowed him to feed me , spoonful by spoonful . My eyes lingered on his face , on the concentration in his expression , as if nothing mattered more than making sure I ate . And I couldn't help but wonder - if Ethan had been like this , if he had shown me this kind of care , would we still be together ? Would we be happy ? My chest tightened , but the thought faded as Derick smiled softly at me , wiping a drop of soup from my lips with his thumb . Maybe fate had chosen differently . Maybe fate had led me here . When the bowl was empty , I leaned back , whispering , " Thank you ." He set the tray aside , turning his full attention back to me . His gaze lingered , searching . " Raven ," he said , voice low . " What is it you wanted to tell me ? " I hesitated , my heart hammering in my chest . This was it . The moment my wolf had pushed me toward . The moment I had dreaded and longed for all at once . Taking a deep breath , I forced the words out . " I ... I've thought about what you said . " His brow furrowed slightly . " What do you mean ? " " I think .... " I swallowed hard , my hand pressing over my stomach . " I think I'm ready . " " Ready ? " His eyes narrowed , as if he wasn't sure he'd heard me right . " Yes , " I whispered . My voice trembled , but my eyes held his . " Ready to be with you . Ready for you to be the father to my children . " Discover our latest featured short drama reel. Watch now and enjoy the story!
