NOAH POV.
I ran a towel over my damp hair while coming out of the bathroom. I hadn’t truly slept since Mirabel disappeared, and even now, my mind couldn’t rest.
A knock at the door made me frown. “What is it?”
A maid stepped inside, bowing her head. “Alpha, Mirabel is awake.”
For a second, I didn’t move. Didn’t breathe.
Then the towel slipped from my hands, and I was out the door before she could finish speaking.
My heart pounded as I rushed down the halls, unaware of the people bowing as I passed. All I could think about was Mirabel. Alive. Awake.
When I entered her room, my breath stopped.
Silas was by her bedside, holding her hand. She looked so pale, so small under the blankets. Dark circles shadowed her eyes, and exhaustion was written across her face.
But she was awake.
