The night's silence was thick and unnatural, a void where the familiar cries of the hatchlings should have been. Neuvillette stirred awake, a cold dread settling in his chest as he registered the empty space beside him. No sound pierced the quiet. Driven by a primal, paternal instinct, he slipped from the bed, moving with a predator's silence. He approached the nursery door and paused on the threshold, not reaching for the light. His pale eyes, adapted to the dark, searched the shadows within, scanning for any movement, any sign of his partner and their newborn children.
