Wolf buried his face in the crook of her neck. "Love, oh, sweet, sweet love," he said, blinking against tears as he lifted her into his arms and carried her down the hallway. He kissed her head, her throat, her eyes, but she couldn't move, couldn't speak, because she knew as he laid her on the bed in her chamber that she was losing his baby. Silent agony tore through her, blinding her, extinguished the light in her soul.

"Megan?" His voice came as if from a distance. "Megan."

" 'Tis gone," she said and felt the rush of blood between her legs. "Wolf, please listen.....the babe...." Deep racking sobs rose from her lungs, and then he understood.

" 'Tis all right, rest," he said, lying beside her, refusing to let her go. He pulled the blankets over her and held her close, whispering into her hair. Outside, the sound of battle quieted, but deep in her heart, Megan felt a pain more desperate than ever before. "I will be with you forever," he vowed, but she hadn't the strength to believed him. As she closed her eyes and drifted into sleep, she knew that she'd lost their child, their precious babe, and even Wolf's love couldn't fill that gaping hole in her heart.
