‘Everyone made it back safe, Elliot said, rubbing his tired eyes. “Magnus and the others went to get the kids from school. Would ve been easier carrying you two if it wasn’t for that narrow hidden door.”

.

Lucian stuck his head in. “Heard voices you guys okay? There’s a healer downstairs for the kids. Mom’s orders you and Freya get checked too. No arguing.”

–

I started to protest, but his serious expression shut me up. “Fine. Give us ten minutes to wake these little ones.”

‘Need help? Lucian was already walking in, gently shaking a boy’s shoulder. “Hey there, little warrior. Time to get up. The healer wants to make sure you’re ready for the next adventure.”

The boy’s eyes snapped open. “Alpha!”

Shh.” Lucian pointed to the sleeping girl in my arms. “Mind if I carry your friend downstairs?”

Watching this usually intimidating future Alpha handle a child so carefully made my chest warm. The girl reached up sleepily, and he lifted her like she was

made of glass.

We got all the kids awake and headed downstairs. The living room had been turned into a makeshift medical station – beds everywhere, supplies organized

on every surface.

‘How wonderful! Luna Isabella called from the stairs, beaming.

“What’s wonderful?”

“Nothing important.” Her eyes held something I couldn’t read. “Get yourselves checked, then Dora’s got breakfast ready.”

The examination went smooth. Most kids were just scared, nothing serious. Watching parents pick them up one by one felt bittersweet.

But some parents were still recovering from injuries. Those kids stayed with us.

“It’s okay,” I told a teary-eyed girl. “We’ll hang out together until your dad’s bette alright?’

She nodded and grabbed my shirt.

The pack house turned into a daycare for the rest of the day. Sophia ran obstacle courses in the backyard while Freya taught basic self-defense moves. Hard to believe she’d been so fierce last night.

By evening, everyone was exhausted. I brought my little shadow upstairs for a ba and bed.

‘Sister Evelyn,” she said quietly, ‘can I sleep with you?”

“Of course. Bath first, then maybe some cartoons?”

In the bathroom, warm water melted away her tension. She even started humming These peaceful moments almost made me forget last night’s chaos.

After her bath, I put one of my T-shirts on her it hung like a dress. We curled

Her breathing evened out pretty quick. I tucked her hair back and closed my eyes

under the covers watching some kids show I’d never seen.

Then sobbing woke me up.

She sat in the middle of the bed, tears streaming down her face.

“What’s wrong, sweetheart?’ I pulled her close.

“The window…” She pointed with a shaking finger. “It made noise, and then you sappeared…”

My heart lurched. Third floor. If there really was noise outside…

Anyone on patrol right now? I sent through the mind link while holding her tight.

Multiple responses came back immediately. But the next second, my door burst open and all five boys practically fell over each other getting in.

The girl screamed and buried her face in my neck.

*Seriously?” I glared at them while stroking her hair.

“What happened?” Magnus panted.

“Sound by the window. Just checking if patrols were nearby.”

They scattered instantly. Milo and Elliot bolted out – probably checking the perimeter. Orion positioned himself between us and the window. Magnus and

Lucian approached it carefully.

“It’s okay,” I whispered to the girl. “See? Orion’s protecting us. He’s one of the strongest warriors here.”

She peeked at Orion, who gave her the gentlest smile I’d ever seen from him.

“They’re just checking to make sure everything’s safe. Like knights protecting a princess.”

That got her attention. She watched the triplets’ movements curiously, even gigging when Lucian nearly tripped over the curtains.

The inspection took forever. They checked the window, opened it, looked outside could tell they were mind-linking without including me.

Finally, Magnus turned around. His expression was serious until he saw the girl staring at him, then he forced a smile.

‘All clear. Everything’s safe.”

A knock interrupted us.

‘Come in.’

An unfamiliar warrior stepped inside. ‘Sorry to disturb. Alpha Adam needs the the of you in his office immediately.

The triplets exchanged looks. Lucian started toward me. ‘Orion, you

Ill stay. Orion’s voice was firm. “You two go.”

After Magnus and Lucian left, Orion sat on the bed’s edge. The girl studied him

th big eyes.

‘Are you really the strongest warrior?” she whispered.

Orion paused. “Maybe not the strongest, but strong enough to keep you safe.”

“Will you stay? Until Sister Evelyn falls asleep?”

“Absolutely.”

She dozed off quickly under his watchful gaze. I settled her properly, then looked at Orion.

The door opened again. Magnus and Lucian returned, faces grimmer than before.

“What happened?”

“Nothing major.” Magnus’s voice was tight. “We need to talk. Orion, can you watc her?”

Orion nodded and actually lay down on the far side of the bed, careful not to disturb the sleeping child.

I followed Magnus and Lucian downstairs, dread building in my chest.

Guys, where are you? I called to my teammates.

In our rooms, Cyrus responded. But there are guards outside. We’re being watched.

Same here, Sophia sounded tense. I’m with the kids and Delta Diana in the living room, but something’s off.

Elliot won’t stop pacing in my room, Freya added. Won’t tell me anything.
