Zamiel had arrived at the Sorrento estate just a few hours ago to check on Elisa. Her due date was close, and though her physical recovery seemed stable, her case still baffled him. Months ago, she'd woken from a six-week vegetative state with just opened eyes, breathing steady, but her memory was blank.

Liam had promised to keep her calm, to ensure she didn't wander or exert herself. But when Zamiel called and Liam couldn't find her, panic seized him like a sudden storm. All the "what ifs" he tried to ignore roared to life: What if she collapsed? What if her memory snapped back in the worst way? What if Nix found her first?
