I stared at Conrad’s phone while the latest report stayed open on the screen between us, Another wolf from my former pack had confirmed that Bethany manipulated wolves around me long before Holmes publicly betrayed me.
Conrad watched my face carefully from the edge of the bed. His hand stayed against my leg while silence filled the room.
“You’re thinking too hard again,” he said quietly.
I leaned back against the headboard slowly. “I keep remembering how desperate I used to feel trying to understand why everyone suddenly turned against me.”
Conrad’s expression tightened immediately. “You were surrounded by people lying to you.”
I looked down at my stomach while the baby moved again. The movement grounded me faster than anything else lately.
“I used to think Bethany won because there was something wrong with me,” I admitted softly.
Conrad moved closer immediately. “There was never anything wrong with you.”
I finally locked at him properly. The certainty in his face made something painful inside me loosen again.
“She destroyed people because she enjoyed control,” I said quietly. “And Holmes helped her because it benefited him.”
Conrad brushed his thumb slowly a across my hand. “That says everything about them and nothing about you.”
The woman I used to be inside my former pack suddenly felt far away now. That version of me spent too much time begging for love and approval from people who already decided to betray her.
I did not feel like her anymore.
A loud crash interrupted the moment downstairs. Conrad sighed immediately while I already knew exactly which twins were responsible.
“Zane!” Kyra yelled from downstairs.
“She started it!” Zane shouted back.
Conrad rubbed his face tiredly before standing. “I’m beginning to understand why security wolves look afraid during dinner.”
I laughed softly before following him downstairs carefully. The smell of food filled the kitchen while both twins glared at each other across the dining table.
Kyra pointed accusingly toward her brother. “He said the baby’s room should have dark walls.”
“Because babies sleep better in darker rooms,” Zane argued.
“She’s not a cave wolf,” Kyra snapped back.
Conrad sat beside me slowly while trying not to smile. “Why are we arguing about paint colors when the nursery isn’t even finished yet?”
“Because he has terrible taste,” Kyra muttered.

“I still do.”

I leaned back in my chair while warmth spread quietly through my chest. These small arguments felt strangely comforting
now.
This territory no longer felt temporary to me.
It felt like home.
Conrad reached over absentmindedly and rubbed his hand slowly across my stomach while the twins continued arguing. The touch felt natural enough now that neither of us reacted to it anymore.
“What if the baby likes dark colors?” Zane asked stubbornly.
Kyra gasped dramatically. “She’s going to like my choices more.”
Conrad looked down at me quietly. “You realize this argument will continue for months.”
“I know,” I replied. “I’m strangely okay with it.”
After dinner, Conrad stayed beside me inside the nursery while we reviewed furniture layouts on one of the digital screens. My exhaustion hit harder than expected halfway through the discussion.
“You stopped answering me five minutes ago,” Conrad said quietly.
I blinked slowly toward him from the couch. “I’m listening.”
“You fell asleep sitting up.”
“I absolutely did not.”
Conrad raised one eyebrow. I hated that expression because it usually meant he was right.
“You were talking about storage cabinets,” I muttered weakly.
“That was twenty minutes ago.”
I groaned softly and leaned deeper into the couch cushions. Pregnancy exhaustion felt personal at this point. Conrad stood without another word and walked toward me. Before I could protest, he carefully lifted me into his arms.
“I can walk,” I argued tiredly.
“You also fell asleep during nursery planning,” he replied calmly.
I rested my head against his shoulder anyway. His heartbeat stayed steady beneath my cheek while he carried me upstairs.
“You’re enjoying this too much,” I mumbled.
“Very much.”
I smiled warmly.
The next morning, I woke up slowly to soft kisses against my forehead. Sunlight filtered through the massive bedroom

windows while Gonrad adjusted the blankets around me carefully.
“You have a council meeting in forty minutes,” he said quietly.
I reached for him immediately before he could pull away. “That sounds like a terrible problem.”

Conrad laughed softly and kissed me again properly this time. His hand slid gently across my stomach afterward.
“The baby agrees with you,” he murmured.
I smiled sleepily while he helped me sit up carefully. Moments like this still surprised me sometimes.
Healthy love felt quieter than obsession ever did.
Later that afternoon, I sat inside the intelligence office reviewing the recovered files connected to my former pack. Several intelligence wolves worked silently around me while encrypted financial transfers filled the screens.
The evidence was undeniable now.
Bethany funded wolves responsible for spreading rumors about me years before the public betrayal happened. Several pack officials accepted payments tied directly to accounts connected to her operations.
One intelligence wolf approached carefully. “Everything is ready for release.”
I stared at the files for several seconds before nodding once. “Send it through the Alpha channels anonymously.”
