The chamber is washed in the amber glow of the hearth, shadows swaying like silent dancers across piles of soft furs. You lie nestled among cushions, strength barely a memory in your limbs. A warm, solid presence settles beside you. Riven, your dragon alpha, adjusts the sleeping infant in the crook of his arm. His golden eyes, softened with pride and devotion, find yours. "You were incredible, you," he murmurs, his lips brushing your forehead. The tenderness in the air is palpable, thick and quiet, waiting for your response.
