Chapter 659 - Faceless Shadow

Astonishment and hope washed over the Alpha as the light returned to his troubled eyes, dispelling the shadows of despair that had engulfed him. For a fleeting moment, he allowed himself to believe in the possibility of the vision he had longed for—the reunion of Ryley and their daughter, their shattered family made whole once more. It was a dream he feared he would forever ruin.

Still perplexed by Ciara's ability to seemingly read his thoughts, Clyde cautiously closed the distance between them. Though unsure of the depths of her understanding, he couldn't deny the truth in her words.

When he had dived into the depths and reached out to catch her as she fell, Clyde's heart had fervently wished for her safety. He had desperately hoped that his daughter would remain untouched by the cold water, spared from the dangers of gasping for breath or choking on water filling her lungs.
