Later on, I walked out of the med bay with the doctor, nodding as I thanked him for keeping everything confidential. He left quickly, making sure no one else overheard anything. Once the door closed behind him, I let myself take a slow breath, so that the tension in my shoulders easing slightly.

The weight of the news finally hit me fully. Relief, fear, joy, panic was all there at once. I had to push it down quickly. There was no time to linger on emotions; the world outside wasn’t slowing for me.

I leaned against the wall for a moment, closing my eyes and letting my mind run through everything we were facing. Clara, Selene, Elias, the attacks, Marielle’s condition–all of it was urgent.

Amy was pregnant, and that changed everything entirely. I had to think clearly. I couldn’t let personal feelings compromise the plan or the safety of anyone under my care.

I straightened up, walking down the corridor toward the security office. Brian was already. waiting for me, reviewing monitors and notes. I joined him at the desk without hesitation, immediately filling him in on the situation and emphasizing the need for discretion.

“Only us know,” I said. “No one else can be involved yet. Not the pack council.”

Brian nodded, understanding the seriousness behind my tone. He didn’t speak unnecessarily. I went over what I wanted, a silent protective circle around Amy, one that wouldn’t draw attention. Guards would stay in their regular positions, blending in with routine shifts, while a few others moved strategically to cover exits and common areas without signaling heightened alert to anyone else.

“We’ll keep an eye on everyone who interacts with her,” I said. “No unusual patterns. Nothing that stands out. If Clara or Selene try anything, we catch it before they act.”

Brian pulled up the latest footage from around the estate and cross–checked recent logs. “I can also get discrete reports on any unusual traffic near her rooms,” he said.

“Do it,” I replied. “We can’t assume anyone is trustworthy right now. Even the people who’ve been loyal in the past could be compromised.”

Next, I pulled up the files we had on Clara and Selene, focusing on movements, associates, and known networks. I outlined a clear plan for tracking both of them without letting them realize we were monitoring. Cole would take the lead on physical observation, while Brian monitored digital activity and communications.

I left Brian with instructions to prioritize the plan’s confidentiality. “No alerts. No chatter. Just silent execution. I want results before anyone outside this room knows what’s happening.”

Once the security measures were clear, I headed back to Amy. She was sitting quietly on the edge of the bed, her posture calm but reserved. She didn’t speak immediately, just watched me with attentive eyes. I sat beside her, careful not to make sudden movements that would draw attention to the moment.

“You okay?” I asked quietly.

She nodded. “I’m managing,” she said. Her voice was steady, but I could see the tension in her hands. She didn’t fidget, but her grip on the blanket tightened slightly.

I reached out and held her hand. “You don’t have to manage everything alone,” I told her. “I’m here. I’ll be here every step.”

Amy leaned slightly into me, resting her head near my shoulder. This wasn’t just about protection anymore, it was about preparation, planning, and keeping both her and the unborn child safe. I could feel the reality of that responsibility in the way she leaned on me, trusting me entirely.

“I’ll be okay,” she said softly. “I know you’re planning. I trust you.”

“I’ll make sure of it,” I replied. “No one will get through to you or the baby without me knowing.”

We sat in silence for a few minutes. I didn’t push her to speak. I didn’t push myself to react. We just existed in that space, steady and aware. I watched her carefully, observing her breathing, her expressions, the small movements that indicated alertness or fatigue. Every detail mattered.

When she finally leaned back and closed her eyes, I stayed alert. I didn’t relax. I began planning mentally, outlining contingencies for every possible scenario. The threat from Clara, Selene, and Elias was not close to ending. If anything, it had grown more vigilant and terified now that Amy was carrying a child.

I reviewed the timelines of recent attacks, including the explosion at Carter Holdings, Marielle’s shooting, and the mercenary movements we’d been tracking. I considered potential weaknesses in our security coverage, identifying where additional eyes or guards might be needed.

I also thought through communication. Only Brian, Cole, and I could know the full scope right now. No one else could receive partial information. Partial information was dangerous–it could leak, be misinterpreted, or even used against us.

Once the mental plans were clear, I shifted to practical tasks. I instructed Brian to initiate deeper monitoring of both Clara and Selene’s known networks. I assigned Cole to check recent associates and suspicious contacts in both the northern and southern packs. I reviewed who

had access to critical files and who could have provided Clara with the resources she used to steal documents.

Even with all the monitoring, I kept one eye on Amy. She had drifted into a light sleep, but I could tell her body was tense. I adjusted my position to stay close, ready to respond. immediately if needed.

Hours passed and I checked in periodically on security feeds, ensuring all patrols were in place. I updated digital logs, making sure all access points were monitored and logged for immediate review. I reviewed the list of potential insiders who might have provided information to Clara. I couldn’t eliminate any possibilities yet, so the sweep would remain ongoing.

When Amy shifted in her sleep, I moved slightly to support her, keeping my hand on hers. I thought about the future, the next week, the next attack. Everything needed to be accounted for.
