Evelyn’s POV

“What date?’ Lucian’s fork clattered against his plate.

Elliot stared at me like I’d just announced I was joining a circus. “You never mentioned dating anyone.”

I took a breath, trying to stay calm. ‘First off, it was part of my mission. I had to get close to the rogue wolves and infiltrate their group. Playing girlfriend was just cover. And second,” I shot him a look, ‘since when do I owe you updates on my love life?”

‘Don’t try to dodge this.” Elliot’s voice had an edge to it. “Who was this guy?”

‘Oh please. If you guys ever bothered telling me about your hookups, maybe I’d consider – *

I caught sight of Freya’s face and immediately felt like shit. That came out wrong

‘Stop changing the subject. Elliot wasn’t letting this go. “I want details. Who was he?”

“You don’t need to worry about it.” I sighed. “He’s not a problem anymore. Trust me on that.”

“Evie, what’s really going on here?” Orion’s voice was softer, but his eyes were intense. “If it’s no big deal, why won’t you just tell us?”

God, I was tired. Why did they get all worked up about me and other guys, but when it came to Acacia, they just sat there and took it?

“Remember that box with the eyeballs?” I looked each of them in the eye. “Rober that was him. He’s dead now.”

I stood up and grabbed my plate. My appetite was gone, and I wanted out of there before Acacia and her dad heard any more of this conversation.

Back upstairs, Sophia and Freya followed me.

“Pack your stuff and move it to my room.” I was done playing nice. ‘I’m sick of catering to Acacia and her dad. You’re my guests, so you’re staying with me.”

It took them all of five minutes to gather their things. We spread out on my carpet, going over the camera locations we’d mapped out today.

‘Look at this coverage, Sophia said, marking spots on our makeshift blueprint. here’s basically nowhere to hide.”

And check out these angles, Freya added. “This was definitely done by pros.”

A knock interrupted us.

“It’s us. Milo’s voice came through the door. Can we come in?’

I knew if I said no, they d just find another way in. Fine, come in.”

All five boys filed in. Magnus spoke first. We should apologize. What we said at net… we didn’t realize what that guy meant to you

I rubbed my face. ‘He didn’t mean anything to me. Getting close to them was part of the job. I needed to infiltrate their circle to figure out how they kept dodging our tracking.”

‘But exactly how…” Orion started, then stopped and threw his hands up. Forget I don’t want details. Just thinking about it makes me sick.”

“Let’s talk about dealing with Acacia’s family instead. Sophia jumped in, bless heWe’ve got a plan started.

We spent the next few hours working out how to get Acacia’s house finished in a month. Everyone got assigned tasks, and the tension finally started to ease.

Around midnight, I noticed all three triplets rubbing their temples like they had litting headaches.

“What’s wrong with you guys?” I walked over, worried.

“It’s nothing, Magnus forced a smile. “Just someone trying to break into our pack link.”

‘Who? I frowned.

The brothers looked at each other, and Lucian finally answered. “Acacia. She’s… figured out how to use emotional waves to break through our defenses.”

‘What kind of emotional waves? Freya asked.

Magnus’s face turned red. “She sends mental connections during… climax. Trying to mess with us.”

“That’s disgusting!” Sophia nearly spit out her water.

“And she’s not alone when she does it.” Orion looked like he wanted to puke. “She makes sure we feel… everything.”

Seeing how miserable they looked, I stood up. “Come on.”

‘Where? Lucian asked.

“Your room. If being around me helps with the headaches, then let me help.

The triplets exchanged glances, then Magnus just scooped me up. “I knew you were the best.”

Lying between them, surrounded by their familiar scents, I felt safer than I had in weeks. Lucian was on my left, Magnus on my right, and Orion stretched

out on the nearby couch.

But just as I was drifting off, a thought hit me like a punch to the gut.

They were adults now. Soon they’d find their mates. When that happened, this would all be over. No mate would share them with me, and I’d lose all of this.

The thought made my chest tight. I was going to lose them. The realization hurt more than I’d expected.

When I woke up the next morning, my cheeks were damp. I’d been crying in my deep that was a first.

I slipped out quietly to wash my face, not wanting them to see me like this. When I came back, all three brothers were standing in the middle of the room, clearly having some kind of silent conversation through their link.

Lucian noticed me first and pulled me into his arms. Magnus came over to touch my face gently, while Orion just looked at me like he was trying to read my

mind.

I took a deep breath, letting their scents calm me down. There was work to do tay. No time for wallowing.

Downstairs in the kitchen, Acacia’s shrill voice hit us the second we walked in.

‘Good morning, my Alphas.’ She gave the triplets a look that made my skin craw ‘Sleep well last night? Hope I didn’t disturb you.”
