Luis\u2019s POV:<\/p>\n
The moment I heard that voice, my heart went feral, hammering; my body started to shake beyond my control.<\/p>\n
I hit the nurse call on the wall at once, then bent down, eyes locked deep on her, terrified this was a hallucination.<\/p>\n
I ran a hand through her long hair and muttered \u201cYou\u2019re awake.\u201d<\/p>\n
Deanna slowly opened her eyes; in those clear, dark pupils, I saw the wreck I was right now.<\/p>\n
I knew I must look terrible\u2013bruised shadows under my eyes, maybe worse.<\/p>\n
But she wasn\u2019t afraid.<\/p>\n
She made a tiny sound. \u201cI was \u2026 afraid \u2026 if I didn\u2019t wake, you\u2019d be mad at me.\u201d<\/p>\n
It felt like a red\u2013hot brand shoved down my throat\u2013pain and scorch all at once.<\/p>\n
Angry?<\/p>\n
How could I ever be angry at her? I want to tear out my heart if that\u2019s T scare me like this again.<\/p>\n

lashes trembled. A thousand words jammed in my chest, all collapsing into a single hoarse whisper. \u201cDummy.\u201d<\/p>\n
Soon enough, Erik came with the doctors.<\/p>\n
He strode in and began running every instrument over her. I had to step back half a pace, but my gaze was nailed to her, not daring to move for even a blink.<\/p>\n
Erik studied the readouts; the knot between his brows finally loosened.<\/p>\n
\u201cVitals are back in range; her wolf spirit is slowly recharging,\u201d he exhaled long. \u201cShe\u2019s still very weak, but the worst has passed. I\u2019ll give her a nutritional injection.\u201d<\/p>\n
He pulled the stethoscope from his ears, came to my side, and patted my shoulder. \u201cShe\u2019s okay.\u201d<\/p>\n
I said nothing\u2013didn\u2019t even look his way.<\/p>\n
My eyes traced her like a starving man hoards light: the faint rise and fall of her chest, the<\/p>\n

Erik sighed and slipped out with the team, closing the door without a sound.<\/p>\n
I moved back to the bed, sat, took her soft hand in mine again\u2013like holding the rarest treasure on earth\u2013and just watched her.<\/p>\n
Deanna looked back at me gently.<\/p>\n
We held each other\u2019s gaze for a long time.<\/p>\n
\u201cI had a dream,\u201d she said slowly, voice rough from the coma.<\/p>\n
I murmured, \u201cMm. What did you dream?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThat you scolded me.\u201d<\/p>\n
There was a little grievance in her tone, soft as down.<\/p>\n
I lifted my hand, my fingertip skimming her pale cheek, then her brow, then her lips. \u201cThen, when you\u2019re well, hit me.\u201d<\/p>\n
Deanna shook her head lightly.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhy not?\u201d<\/p>\n
Her lashes fluttered; her voice was soft. \u201cI can\u2019t bear to.\u201d<\/p>\n
My chest stabbed; a scalding tear fell without warning, tracking dow hard.<\/p>\n

Deanna\u2019s POV:<\/p>\n
I felt a cool dampness at my neck. My nose stung from seeing the wet on his lashes.<\/p>\n
The truth is, while I drifted, I didn\u2019t just dream.<\/p>\n
I seemed to hear Luis say he would follow me away.<\/p>\n
I was terrified.<\/p>\n
I wouldn\u2019t allow him to leave with me, so I forced my eyes open with everything I had to tell him: I don\u2019t allow it.<\/p>\n
At last, I woke.<\/p>\n
I reached up, brushed his strong brows; my fingertips traced his eyes. I bit my lip. \u201cSorry\u2026.I<\/p>\n

Luis closed his hand over mine, word by word. If you ever do this again, stab me first.\u201d<\/p>\n
A mist filmed my vision; tears pooled. \u201cYou\u2019re scolding me again.\u201d<\/p>\n
He hurried to wipe my tears with his thumb helplessly.<\/p>\n
\u201cOkay, okay, I\u2019m not scolding.\u201d<\/p>\n
I sniffled. \u201cThen, take it back.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat you said\u2013about stabbing you.\u201d<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t want to hear that at all.<\/p>\n
Luis lowered his eyes. \u201cThen, promise me\u2014this will never happen again.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cMm.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWho matters most in your heart?\u201d<\/p>\n
I let a small curve touch my lips. \u201cYou.\u201d<\/p>\n
Luis stroked my forehead, his voice warm. \u201cSleep. I\u2019m here.\u201d<\/p>\n
I nodded. I had so little strength; sleep tugged hard.<\/p>\n
I knew he would stay.<\/p>\n
So, I closed my eyes and drifted off.<\/p>\n
All that night, his cedar scent wrapped around me, and I felt utterly safe.<\/p>\n
