Chapter 451 White Lies

AMY

Finished

I was taken from my room without explanation that morning, though explanation had become optional in this place. Two guards walked slightly ahead of me, another behind. No restraints. That alone told me this meeting mattered.

The elevator ride was quiet. The glass walls showed the city below, distant and orderly. I focused on my breathing, one hand resting lightly on my stomach. I had learned to do that without thinking now, as if touch alone could keep everything stable.

The room they led me into was smaller than the last conference space I’d seen. Fewer chairs. A long table. Screens dark. There were six people present when I entered. I recognized three of them.

The doctor stood near the far end, tablet in hand. Mara was seated to the right, posture straight, expression unreadable. Two men I didn’t know wore tailored suits instead of tactical gear. Authority sat on them differently.

“Sit, Amy,” one of the men said, gesturing to the chair opposite them.

I sat.

No one asked if I was comfortable.

The man closest to me folded his hands. “This will be brief.”

I didn’t respond. I’d learned that silence unsettled them more than questions.

“The pregnancy is progressing faster than standard timelines,” the doctor began, his tone clinical. “Vitals are stable for now. Your wolf has adjusted better than expected.”

“For now,” one of the other men repeated.

I looked at the doctor. “You’ve said that before.”

He met my gaze, “Because it remains true.”

The first man turned his attention back to me. “Our priority is ensuring viability. Yours and the children’s.”

Children. Plural, Still said casually, like inventory,

“And after that?” I asked.

“That will depend,” Mara said quietly.

I shifted my gaze to her. “On what?”

She hesitated, just slightly. Enough that I noticed.

“On cooperation,” the second man said. “On stability. On timing.”

“Timing for what?” I asked.

No one answered immediately.

Instead, the first man nodded at the doctor. “Explain the current projections.”

The doctor cleared his throat. “At the current rate, we anticipate accelerated milestones across all indicators. That places strain on Amy’s system. Extended isolation remains necessary. Movement will be limited. Medical supervision will increase.”

“You’re talking about keeping me hidden,” I said.

“Yes,” the second man replied without hesitation. “For now.”

“For now,” I repeated.

The first man leaned back slightly. “There is disagreement on that point.”

I looked between them. “Disagreement how?”

“One option is concealment,” he continued. “Stabilize you. Keep you out of reach. Let the situation outside. resolve itself.”

“And the other?” I asked.

The second man spoke this time. “Preparation.”

“For what?” I pressed.

He smiled, but it didn’t reach his eyes. “That information isn’t necessary yet.”

Mara shifted in her seat. “Amy doesn’t need to know operational details,” she said. “But she does need

reassurance.”

I laughed quietly before I could stop myself. “You’re discussing my body like I’m not here. Reassurance isn’t the issue.”

The first man’s gaze hardened. “You are here because you are important. That hasn’t changed.”

“That’s not comforting,” I said. “That’s a warning.”

Silence settled over the table.

The doctor glanced at his tablet. “Stress is not advisable.”

“Then maybe stop talking about me like a project,” I said.

Mara inhaled slowly. “Amy, no one here wants to harm you.”

“I believe that,” I replied. “That doesn’t mean you want to protect me either.”

The second man tilted his head. “Protection and purpose aren’t mutually exclusive.”

“They are when I don’t get a choice,” I said.

The first man leaned forward. “Your choices led you here.”

“That’s convenient,” I said. “It also isn’t true.”

His lips thinned, but he didn’t argue.

“We will continue this discussion later.” he said. “For now, the decision is concealment.”

The second man frowned. “Temporarily.”

“Temporarily,” the first agreed.

I caught the look they exchanged. Short. Sharp. Unresolved. .

“Meeting adjourned,” the first man said.

Finished

I stood before anyone told me to. The guards moved immediately, opening the door. As I stepped into the hallway, I heard voices rise behind me.

“This delays everything,” the second man said.

“It keeps her alive,” the first snapped.

“At the cost of momentum.”

“Dead assets don’t serve causes,” Mara said firmly.

I slowed my steps without turning around.

“You’re assuming we’ll have time,” the second man replied. “Word is already moving.”

My chest tightened.

“Lower your voice,” someone hissed.

“Why?” he shot back. “She won’t stay hidden forever. Someone will notice the patterns, Medical shipments. Restricted floors.”

“She’s secure,” the first man said.

“For now,” the second repeated. “But if Daniel-”
