Mirabella
The nightmares didn’t stop just because I was safe.
Every night I woke up gasping, heart pounding, my hands scrambling over the sheets to find Alex.
He was always there.
Every time.
Holding me close. Stroking my hair. Whispering soft reassurances.
"You’re safe, baby."
"I’ve got you."
"I’m here."
The estate became my sanctuary.
The team, my silent protectors.My family became the biggest support system.. At least one of them lingered around me.. Taking care of me like a baby while I was nourishing a baby inside me..
Every window was fortified. Every door guarded.
Still, I flinched at shadows.
Jumped at loud noises.
My body had survived Damon’s hell.
But my soul?
It was still bleeding.

I stayed glued to her side these first weeks.
I refused to leave her
