SOPHIA
Still stunned to have the strange men in my hospital ward, claiming to be Erick's men.
I instinctively clutched the crib beside me where my sleeping pups lay, my heart racing as four tall men stepped inside.
They weren’t nurses.
They weren’t hospital staff.
They were Erick’s men, shadow guards, I recognized their black insignia immediately.
Towering, broad-shouldered, intimidating. Their presence filled the room like a wall of iron.
I blinked, startled. “Um… can I help you?”
The one in front bowed his head respectfully.
“Queen Sophia. His Majesty instructed that we escort you and the young heirs to the port.”
I stared at them in confusion.
“The port?” I repeated.
“Yes, my Queen. Alpha King Erick awaits you there.”
My mouth parted slightly. Erick? Waiting at the port?
