Chapter 110
Conrad POV
I stared at the Valcrest bloodline file long after Amorah fell asleep beside me.

The dim light from the tablet screen illuminated the bed while silence settled heavily through the room. My hand rested over Amorah’s stomach as my mind worked through every political consequence tied to the name sitting in front of me.
House Valcrest.
One of the oldest bloodlines connected to Supreme Alpha succession history.
A bloodline powerful enough to threaten council balance even decades later.
Which meant the twins had never been random children caught inside Bethany’s schemes. Someone hid them deliberately.
Someone powerful.
I looked toward Amorah quietly.
She slept curled against my side with one arm draped across my waist while exhaustion softened the tension usually sitting across her face. Even in sleep, she stayed close to me instinctively now.
At some point, this stopped being survival. Stopped being a contract
Stopped being temporary. This had become my family.
The thought settled heavily inside my chest before I carefully reached for the encrypted council archives again.
By sunrise, I was already inside the restricted lower records chamber beneath the territory tower. Only Supreme Alpha clearance could access the older succession files hidden there.
Dust covered most of the physical archives because almost everything had been digitized years ago. But older wolves still trusted paper records more than secured systems.
I scanned another coded file while irritation built steadily under my skin. Every reference tied to House Valcrest had been partially erased or deliberately fragmented.
Someone had cleaned these records carefully.
A quiet knock sounded against the archive door.
“Enter”
One intelligence wolf stepped inside quickly. “We traced additional transfers connected to Bethany’s shell accounts.”
I looked up immediately. “How bad?”
“Worse for her than us.”
That caught my attention.
The wolf placed several printed files across the table. “After Ainorah exposed the Blackwater operations, neutral Alpha territories started freezing assets tied to Bethany’s old networks.”

For the first time in months, Bethany was losing control instead of gaining it.

“Several council elders are panicking,” the wolf continued. “The Valcrest connection threatens older inheritance agreements.”
Of course it did.
If the twins carried legitimate ties to an older Supreme Alpha branch, then hidden succession claims suddenly became possible again. The council would see that as political poison.
“Keep tracing the financial channels,” I ordered. “I want every remaining Bethany contact exposed quietly.”
“Yes, alpha.”
After the wolf left, I leaned back heavily in the chair before rubbing a tired hand across my face. The pressure inside the territory continued building faster than expected.
And through all of it, Amorah somehow held everything together better than anyone else around me.
Hours later, I found her inside the intelligence wing reviewing surveillance reports with three senior wolves gathered around the main strategy screen. She looked up the moment I entered.
“You look exhausted,” she said immediately.
I almost laughed. That was always her first instinct now.
“I could say the same thing to you.”
Amorah ignored the comment before gesturing toward the digital map. “We confirmed two more shell accounts tied to Bethany’s older operations.”
“She is losing territory support,” one intelligence wolf added carefully. “Several packs are distancing themselves publicly.”
Amorah crossed her arms loosely while studying the files again. “Bethany built her power through preparation. If enough of the financial structure collapses, people stop fearing her.”
I watched the room quietly for a moment. Nobody questioned her authority anymore.
Nobody looked toward me first before responding to her. They listened because they trusted her judgment naturally now.
The realization affected me more deeply than I expected.
Later that evening, raised voices echoed sharply through the upper residential hallways.

I found Zane near the security entrance arguing with two guards while Kyra stood nearby looking frightened.
“You are hiding things again!” Zane snapped.
One guard glanced at me immediately. “Supreme Alpha-”
“Leave us,” I ordered.
The wolves retreated without hesitation.
Zane turned toward me angrily. “Tell me the truth.”

My jaw lightened slightly. “About what?”
“About Bethany.”
Kyra looked down at the floor while Zane’s breathing grew heavier. “I heard the guards talking.”
Of course he did.
“Is she really not our mother?”

Before I could answer, Amorah appeared from the hallway behind me. Her expression changed immediately the moment she saw Zane.
“What happened?”
“Nobody tells us anything,” Zane said bitterly.
Amorah walked toward him slowly. “Zane.”
“Do not do that.”
“Do what?”
“Talk like everything is fine when it is obviously not.”
His voice cracked slightly at the end.
He was scared, angry and confused.
And still just a child trying to understand why adults kept destroying his world.
Amorah crouched carefully in front of him despite her exhaustion. “We were trying to protect you.”
“That is what everyone says before lying.”
The words hit harder than he realized.
Kyra suddenly grabbed Amorah’s sleeve quietly. “Do we even know who our real parents are?”
Amorah’s face softened instantly.
“No,” she answered honestly. “Not completely yet.”
Zane looked furious again. “So everything was fake?”
“No.” Amorah said firmly.
The answer stopped him.
She reached for his hand slowly before continuing. “What Bethany and Holmes did was wrong. But none of that changes the people who stayed with you after.”
The hallway stayed silent.
Amorah looked between both twins carefully. “You are not alone in this.”

Something in Zane’s expression finally cracked. He looked away quickly before muttering, “I hate all of this.”
“I know,” Amorah whispered.
I stood there watching her can both children with patience I honestly did not possess myself.
She made people feel safe enough to stop fighting it.

Much later that night, after the twins finally slept, Amorah curled against me quietly beneath the blankets while rain tapped softly outside the bedroom windows.
“You were quiet tonight,” she murmured sleepily.
I brushed my fingers slowly across her stomach beneath her shirt. “I was thinking.”
“That usually means trouble.”
A small smile pulled briefly at my mouth.
“I keep looking at you with them,” I admitted quietly. “And every time, it feels more permanent.”
