I had never seen Erick like this before.
He stood by the side of my hospital bed, his tall frame curved protectively around the tiny bundles in his arms.
His hands….those hands that had wielded swords, commanded armies, and crushed threats now trembled slightly as he held our pups as though they were made of glass.
The look in his eyes was something I hadn’t seen on him ever. It was pure and unfiltered love.
And it broke me.
He held them like they were his entire world, like their every breath was keeping him alive.
The sheer adoration in his expression made my heart twist painfully inside my chest. He didn’t even seem aware that I was watching him.
His focus was entirely on them, the way their little fingers curled, the faint rise and fall of their chests.
A smile gho
