Amorah’s POV

The moment Holmes‘ public staterent spread through the Alpha channels, silence settled heavily inside Conrad’s private office. I stared at the message on the screen while anger slowly replaced the last pieces of hurt still left inside me.

“Forget where I came from?” I repeated quietly.

Conrad leaned against the edge of the desk beside me with tension visible across his face. His hand rested carefully against my back like he already knew how hard I was fighting not to lose my temper.

“You do not have to meet him.” Conrad said.

I finally looked up at him. “That’s the difference now, Conrad.”

He frowned slightly. “What difference?”

“I’m not scared of him anymore.”

The words surprised even me after they left my mouth. Months ago, Holmes could still shake me emotionally with a single message, but now all I felt was disgust every time I remembered what he had done.

Conrad studied me quietly for a moment. His expression softened afterward in a way that always affected me more than I expected.

“You sound different,” he admitted.

“I am different.”

The woman Holmes betrayed inside our old pack felt far away now, almost like someone I used to know instead of myself.

Conrad stepped closer and brushed his fingers lightly against my cheek. “Good.”

I exhaled slowly before leaning into his touch for a second. His calm steadied me faster than anything else lately.

“We finally confirmed the financial transfers this morning,” I said. “Three hidden territory accounts connected directly to Holmes.”

Conrad nodded once. “Enough to damage him publicly.”

“Enough to ruin him.”

I walked back toward the desk and opened the recovered files again. The more evidence I reviewed, the clearer the truth became.

Holmes never betrayed me impulsively, he planned everything.

The realization no longer broke my heart the way it once would have. Instead, it made me feel cold every time I remembered how many excuses I used to make for him.

I remembered the nights he disappeared without explanation. I remembered how often he criticized my instincts whenever I questioned him about Bethany.

I remembered how isolated I slowly became around him without understanding why.

ck then. I thought love meant enduring difficult things quietly. Now I realized healthy love was never supposed to make me feel smaller.

Conrad crossed the room toward me again after several minutes of silence. “You’re thinking too hard.”

“I’m remembering things properly for the first time.”

His jaw tightened slightly. “You were never the problem, Amorah,”

I laughed once under my breath without humor. “I spent years wondering why I wasn’t enough.”

Conrad’s expression darkened immediately. He reached for my hand before I could pull away emotionally again.

“Holmes never deserved your loyalty in the first place,” he said quietly.

The sincerity in his voice hurt more than lies sometimes because I believed him completely. That was the terrifying part about loving Conrad now.

I trusted him.

My throat tightened unexpectedly, and Conrad noticed immediately. He guided me carefully toward the couch near the fire before sitting beside me.

“You don’t have to keep carrying his damage forever,” he murmured.

I rested my head against his shoulder and closed my eyes briefly. “I know.”

For once, I actually meant it

His fingers moved slowly against my stomach afterward without thinking about it. The simple gesture felt natural between

us now.

The baby shifted lightly beneath my hand a moment later.

Conrad immediately looked down. “Did you feel that?”

I smiled before nodding once. “You missed it yesterday.”

“That child already has terrible timing.”

A quiet laugh escaped me before I could stop it. Conrad’s eyes lifted toward my face instantly after hearing it.

“There you are,” he said softly.

I rolled my eyes slightly. “Don’t make it dramatic.”

“You haven’t laughed properly in days.”

The honesty in his voice warmed something inside me anyway. I stayed beside him for several more quiet minutes before the twins burst into the room loudly enough to ruin the calm instantly.

“Zane keeps moving everything” Kyra complained.

“I’m fixing it,” Zane argued immediately.

“You’re making it uglier.”

‘s supposed to look strong.”

Conrad sighed heavily beside me, “What happened now?”

“The nursery,” both twins answered together.

I pushed myself upright carefully before following them down the hallway toward the unfinished nursery. The moment I stepped inside, I immediately understood the argument.

Zane had moved half the decorations into sharp military lines across the room.

Kyra looked deeply offended by it.

“It looked better before,” Kyra insisted.

“No, it looked messy.”

I crossed my arms while studying the room. “Why are there wooden wolves on the ceiling?”

Zane looked proud of himself immediately. “Because babies like wolves.”

“That baby isn’t even born yet,” Kyra muttered.

Conrad stepped into the room behind me quietly while the twins continued arguing. I felt his hand settle carefully against my lower back again.

“Don’t look at me,” he said when I glanced toward him. “I support the wolf ceiling.”

Kyra groaned dramatically. “See?”

I laughed again before sitting carefully near the window. The twins kept arguing while moving decorations around the nursery, but the sound no longer felt exhausting.
