Alpha Edward's POV
We fell into silence once more, the tension between us consuming but overshadowed by our shared concern for our son. Hours passed, each minute dragging on interminably. The doctors returned periodically, checking on Liam and updating us on his condition.
I thought Amanda would close her eyes for even a second, but she never did. She was wide awake, just as I was.
Finally, as the first light of dawn filtered through the window, Liam stirred. His eyes fluttered open, and he looked around groggily.
"Liam?" I whispered, my heart leaping with hope.
"Father?" he croaked, his voice weak.
I leaned in, tears glittering in my eyes. "I'm here, baby. I'm right here."
Amanda moved closer, her expression one of intense relief. "Hey, Liam," she said softly. "You gave us quite a scare."
Liam's eyes flickered to Amanda, a faint smile tugging at his lips. "Mama," he murmured, reaching out weakly.
Amanda took his hand, her own eyes brimming with tears. "I'm here too, Liam. We're both here." Liam smiled weakly and then turned to me. "I had a dream about you, Father," he said, sounding so worried.
"Really? Tell me about it."
Liam swallowed hard. "I saw you... lying in a pool of blood, Father. I ran to you and begged you to wake up, but you were numb." His voice broke with emotion. "Father, I'm scared." "You don't have to be." I flashed him an assuring smile. "It's just a dream, buddy, just a dream." Liam shook his head. "No, Father, it seemed so real. You have to be careful." Liam pleaded, his eyes filled with concern and worry for me. "Promise me that you will be careful." He pleaded desperately, and my heart fluttered. It was overwhelming to know Liam genuinely cared for me. "I will, buddy, I will." I promised.
Just then, the doctors came in and examined Liam before injecting him. Within seconds, he fell asleep. The doctor examined him again before turning to us.
"Alpha, he is now stable and will be asleep for at least five hours. You two should please go rest; the nurse will watch over him."
I looked at Amanda, who nodded and got to her feet. "Please look after him and call us if anything happens," she pleaded to the nurse, who nodded.
I watched her glance at Liam for another moment before she turned and looked at me, frowning. "You should also get some rest as well," she said before walking out of the door.
I glanced at Liam for another moment, making sure he was okay, before I wheeled myself out of his room. Upon getting out of his room, I met Amanda leaning against the wall, obviously waiting for me.
"We need to talk," she said, folding her arms.
"What is it?" I asked, hoping it had nothing to do with the rejection. I still didn't want to let her go.
"About Liam's dream, you have to take it seriously. Liam's dreams have come to pass on different occasions," she grumbled while I furrowed my brow and looked at her. "Are you worried about me?" I asked because it seemed she was.
"You think so? Is that what you think? That Amanda is different? Are you so sure about it?" Levi challenged, and a sudden fear enveloped me, but I masked it up and put on a straight face. "Yes, Amanda is different from Veronica and other girls you have been able to lure into your bed, Levi. You can't have her, now get out," I said dismissively, and Levi's smirk widened.
I watched him stand upright before he took a step away from me. "Two weeks, Edward, give me two weeks, and you will see Amanda hovering around me. But not just that, I will fuck her under this roof, and you will hear her moan out my name."
"Get out!" I yelled and tried getting to him.
But As I struggled to get up, it was useless, my feet couldn't carry my weight. The two guards rushed into the room and glared at Levi.
"Take him out," I yelled, my blood boiling with anger.
"Don't worry, I'm leaving already. Two weeks, cousin, two weeks." He smirked before leaving the room.
"Damn it!" I yelled, my whole body vibrating with rage and helplessness.
"Alpha..."
"Get out!" I yelled at the guards who bowed and dashed out of the room.
