Chapter 54

Third Person's POV
Darius woke up feeling more at ease than he had in days. With Walker's downfall already in motion, he could finally focus on what truly mattered—his family.
He stretched, letting the warmth of the morning sun filter through the curtains before turning his head to the small figure curled up beside him. Cyrus was still fast asleep, his face relaxed, lips slightly parted. He looked so innocent like this, tucked against Darius’s side, his soft brown curls a mess from sleep. Darius couldn't help but smile as he brushed a hand through them, his touch light so he wouldn’t wake him too soon.
