Ellie’s POV
My lips trembled, my heart swelled so much I thought it would burst. I reached out weakly, wanting to hold him, touch him, anything—but my body was too weak to lift itself.
Ethan bent down, his lips trembling as he pressed kiss after kiss to my damp temple. His voice was raw, breaking apart. “Ellie… Ellie, we have a son.” His words shook, and for the first time, I saw tears spill freely down his face. He wasn’t the unshakable Alpha anymore. He wasn’t holding himself together. He was breaking right alongside me—but with love.
I wanted to smile, to tell him I loved him, but before I could, my body seized again. Another contraction hit, fiercer than before. I screamed, clutching his shirt with both hands, my nails digging into him.
The doctor’s head snapped up, his eyes sharp.
