My Alpha Stepbrother's Dirty Secret novel Chapter 187

CHAPTER 78

RYAN’S POV

“The bad news…” Dr. Kellan’s voice was low, almost hesitant, as if he knew the words would break me. “She lost the baby. And not only that… her wolf. Her wolf was just starting to come out fully, it was still adapting, and now it’s as if it has shrunk back into hiding. That’s why the baby couldn’t be protected. Her wolf should have shielded the pregnancy, but it didn’t.”

The words hit me like knives. My chest tightened so painfully that I had to clutch my shirt as if it would stop my heart from tearing open. I growled so loud the entire hallway shook, everyone flinching at the sound.

My child.

My own baby.

“I want to see her.”

“Ryan-” Dr. Kellan tried, but I cut him off.

“NOW!” I barked, my voice raw with pain. “Take me to her, I don’t care what state she’s in, I just need to see my Anna.”

Mom sobbed softly beside me, Dad’s jaw was tight, Grandma whispered a prayer under her breath, but I didn’t care, I only cared about getting to Anna. Just then the nurses came out, pushing her bed slowly, her fragile body lying there with tubes and wires attached to her, machines beeping, her skin pale but her chest rising and falling, thank the goddess, she was breathing.
