Chapter 130

Amorah POV

I stayed frozen for several seconds after the intelligence wolf revealed Holmes planned to use my parents against me publicly. A cold ache settled heavily inside my chest while old memories I had ignored for years started rising again.

Conrad dismissed the wolf quietly after gathering the remaining details. The office door shut softly behind him.

Neither of us spoke immediately.

I stared down at the council reports scattered across the desk while anger mixed slowly with humiliation inside me. Holmes always knew exactly where to strike when he wanted to weaken me emotionally.

Every vulnerable part of me had always been useful to him somehow.

Conrad moved closer carefully. “You don’t have to talk about this tonight.”

“I know.”

“But you’re thinking too loudly.”

That almost made me smile.

I leaned back slowly in the chair and rubbed tiredly at my face. Pregnancy exhaustion made emotions hit harder lately, and Holmes clearly understood that.

“He always did this,” I admitted quietly.

Conrad stayed silent beside me.

“When I felt uncertain about myself, he became kinder for a little while,” I continued. “Then the moment I depended on him emotionally again, he pulled away.”

Anger flashed across Conrad’s face immediately.

I stared toward the windows while rain tapped softly against the glass outside. The weather had been terrible for days NOW.

absent.”

“My parents were never really cruel,” I said eventually. “They were just absent.”

Conrad rested one hand against my shoulder gently.

“My father cared more about pack status than family,” I continued softly. “My mother followed whatever kept peace inside the territory.”

I laughed weakly under my breath.

“I spent most of my childhood trying not to become inconvenient.”

Conrad’s expression tightened immediately after that.

“That isn’t normal” he said quietly.

“I know that now.”

For years, I thought enduring pain silently proved loyalty. I thought staying patient while someone slowly destroyed parts of me emotionally meant I loved deeply enough.

Holmes used that weakness cefully.

“You know the worst part?” I asked quietly.

Conrad looked at me fully.

“I genuinely believed love was supposed to hurt.”

Something emotional shifted sharply in his face after that confession.

Conrad crouched beside my chair before gently taking my hand. “No.”

His voice stayed calm and steady.

“Real love should feel safe.”

My throat tightened instantly.

Conrad kissed me slowly afterward, patient and warm. There was nothing manipulative or demanding in the way he touched me.

Hours later, we ended up curled together beneath blankets while rainstorms rolled across the territory outside. Conrad lay behind me with one arm wrapped protectively around my stomach while I rested against his chest.

The silence felt peaceful.

“I wasted years loving the wrong person,” I whispered eventually

Conrad pressed a soft kiss against my shoulder. “You survived the wrong person.”

That answer affected me more deeply than he probably realized.

He kissed my neck next and went down to my stomach. I felt the warmth of his kisses which gave me a fluttering feeling in my belly.

Insane how he gave me butterflies whenever he kissed me. Like i was some teenager having her first kiss.

The rest of the night was all kisses and smushes. Time passed slowly without me realizing how I fell asleep in his arms.

Later the next morning, I walked downstairs and immediately found Kyra sitting cross–legged on the living room floor surrounded by paint supplies. Several sheets of paper were scattered around her feet already.

“What are you making?” I asked softly.

“A new family picture.”

She held it up proudly.

I stared at the drawing quietly for several seconds.

Kyra had drawn herself, Zane, Conrad, me, and a smaller figure beside me with messy little curls. Conrad stood in the middle holding everyone’s hands.

Even the baby

Something emotional tightened painfully inside my chest.

“You included all of us.”

Kyra looked confused immediately. “Why wouldn’t I?”

I swallowed hard before smiling softly at her. “No reason.”

A while later, I found Zane alone inside Conrad’s office during training break. He sat near the window pretending to read while clearly thinking too much.

“You’re quiet today.”

He shrugged slightly.

I sat beside him carefully.

After several seconds, he finally looked at me properly. “Do you regret meeting Holmes?”

The question hit harder than I expected.

I stayed silent for a moment while thinking honestly about it.

Years ago, I would have answered yes immediately. Holmes destroyed my confidence, isolated me emotionally, and humiliated me publicly.

But surviving him eventually led me here.

To Conrad, to this family and to the baby growing inside me.

To finally understanding what real love actually looked like.

“I regret loving someone who hurt people so easily,” I admitted quietly.

Zane frowned slightly.

“But I don’t regret surviving it.”

He studied me carefully.

“Because then you met us?”

Emotion tightened painfully in my chest again.
