“Meetings over” I said.

Seven wolves looked confused immediately. One of the intelligence officers opened his mouth like he wanted to protest.

“Supreme Alpha we still need to discuss-

“No I interrupted coldly, “You’ll increase security around the bloodline archives and send me updates remotely.”

Amoral blinked at me slowly. “What are you doing?”

I stood before offering her my hand. “Taking my mate out.”

Her expression changed from confusion to disbelief. For the first time all night. I caught the smallest hint of amusement in her west.

“Kight now?

One hour later, our vehicle disappeared into the private underground entrance of one of the tallest skyscrapers in the city. The building belonged entirely to an old werewolf family connected to my territory, which meant security remained tight without suffocating us openly.

Amorah stared out the window quietly while city lights reflected across her face. She looked beautiful even exhausted.

“You planned this already,” she accused softly.

“I considered it.”

“You considered kidnapping me from my responsibilities?”

“I considered saving you from another five hours of stress.”

That finally earned a real laugh from her. The sound immediately relaxed something inside my chest.

The private suite occupied the highest floor of the tower with secured wolf guards hidden throughout the building Floor to–ceiling windows overlooked the entire city while moonlight reflected across the rooftop pool outside

Amorah stopped near the windows slowly. “This place is ridiculous.”

“You hate it?

Then she looked up at me carefully. “Did you really canel council meetings for this?”

“1 would cancel a war for this”

She rolled her eyes immediately. “You sound dramatic”

“You like dramatic”

“That’s unfortunately true.”

Later that evening, Amorah stepped out of the bedroom wearing a dark silver dress that dong beautifully around her pregnancy. For several seconds, I genuinely just stared in amusement.

Her cheeks flushed slightly under my stare. “You’re doing that thing again.”

“What thing?

“Looking at me like you want to fight someone because I exist”

I moved toward her slowly before sliding one hand against her stomach possessively. “That feeling never really leaves.”

My wolf reacted immediately to both her and the baby together now.

“You clean up nicely too,” she murmured.

I smirked slightly while adjusting the cuffs of my black suit. “Careful. Compliments encourage me.”

“That sounds dangerous for everyone involved.”

The rooftop restaurant above the private pool stayed empty except for as and hidden guards stationed far enough away to give privacy. Warm lights reflected across the water while distant city sounds mixed with soft music overhead.

For the first time in days, Amorah actually looked relaxed.

୮

She leaned back in her chair carefully while staring out across the skyline. “I forgot cities could look peaceful.”

“They usually don’t”

“You’re ruining the mood”

“I’m realistic.”

“You’re annoying”

“And yet you keep kissing me anyway”

Her lips twitched immediately after that. I felt strangely proud of myself for making her smile repeatedly tonight.

“One of them owned six tiny Bogs,” she said. “All of them hated me

“That sounds suspicious”

“You think I deserved it?”

“I think wolves sense fear.”

“I was not afraid of tiny dogs.”

“You absolutely were.”

She laughed loudly enough that nearby guards glanced over automatically before pretending not to notice us again. The sound relaxed my wolf more than I wanted to admit.

Halfway through dessert, my phone buzzed with an incoming video call from the twins. Amorah smiled instardly before answering.

Kyra appeared first with wild hair and dramatic suspicion across her face. “You didn’t show us dessert yet.”

Amorah turned the phone toward the table immediately. “Chocolate cake.”

Kyra gasped loudly. “You started without us.”

“That’s betrayal,” Zane added from somewhere behind her.

I took the phone carefully. “I provide this family with luxury and protection, and this is the respect I receive?”

“You’re still suspicious,” Zane informed me seriously.

Kyra leaned closer toward the screen. “Did Amorah smile today?”

Amorah looked embarrassed immediately. “Kyra.”

“It’s an important question,” she argued.

I glanced toward Amorah before answering honestly. “Yeah. She did.”

Kyra looked satisfied after that. Zane crossed his arms carefully.

“Good,” he muttered. “Don’t make her cry.”

Amorah laughed softly while I stared at him with mock offense. “I’m the Supreme Alpha and somehow still getting threatened by children.”

“You deserve it,” Amorah whispered beside me.

After the call ended, we stayed outside near the rooftop pool while soft music played quietly overhead. Amorah rested against my chest while we moved slowly together beneath the city lights.

“You’re staring again,” she murmured.

“I like looking at you.”

“I think I stopped surviving,” she admitted quietly into the darkness.

I tightened my arms around her immediately. “Good”

“I think I actually started living again.”

My chest ached hearing that. I kissed the top of her head carefully before holding her even closer

“You deserve that,” I murmured.

Her breathing slowly deepened as she started falling asleep against me.

After a few minutes, my private phone vibrated sharply against the bedøde table.

Carefully, I reached for it without waking her fully.

The message came directly from intelligence command.

‘Unauthorized access attempt detected. Twins‘ sealed bloodline archives targeted. Security footage recovered

I opened the attached image slowly.

A familiar older wolf appeared on the screen and my entire body went cold instantly.

The intruder once served directly under Holmes‘ father.
