Chapter 161

Amonah POV

The message stayed on the screen long after the room fell

Nobody spoke immediately because all of us were trying to understand the same thing.

I sat heavily in the chair beside Conrad while one of the intelligence wolves disconnected the terminal from

The baby shifted hard enough to make me wince, and Conrad’s hand immediately settled over my stomach

“Easy” he murmured

I nodded, but my thoughts were already racing

The next several days became a blur of investigations, reports, and dead ends.

Every morning I woke up hoping for answers, and every evening ended with another explanation about corrupted archives, destroyed records, or missing files.

The deeper they searched, the less they found.

Apparently someone had done an excellent job years ago.

I sat in Conrad’s office one afternoon while three intelligence wolves reviewed recovered files on the wall display

The baby had become active enough that sitting comfortably was becoming a daily challenge.

One of the wolves finally sighed.

“We’ve reached the end of the available records, Alpha”

Conrad folded his arms.

“Explain”

“The fourth child appears in references connected to your Luna’s mother, but nowhere else.“

I rubbed my forehead.

“What does that mean?”

“It means somebody intentionally erased them?

Another wolf nodded.

“Not just from public archives. From restricted archives too”

The answer should have frustrated me.

Instead, I felt very tired.

Conrad dismissed the wolves after another half hour of discussion.

“They don’t know anything

They know some things.

“Not enough”

The frustration in my voice surprised even me

Conrad moved beside me.

“We’ll keep looking

I laughed softly.

“You’ve been saying that for months.”

His expression tightened slightly

“Because I mean it‘

I opened my eyes.

“I know.”

For a moment neither of us spoke.

Then I reached for his hand.

“I’m just exhausted.“–

His thumb brushed over my knuckles.

“I know that too.”

The following week passed slowly.

Winter had settled fully across the territory, and the estate felt warmer an ever because everyone kept finding excuses to stay inside.

My pregnancy had reached the point where even simple tasks required more effort than they used to.

Conrad noticed everything. Sometimes before I did.

One evening I walked into the kitchen intending to make tea for myself. Conrad appeared two minutes later carrying the tea I had planned to make.

I stared at him

“Are you reading minds now?

“No

“You knew exactly what I wanted.”

You’ve wanted the same tea every night for two weeks”

I narrowed my eyes.

“That’s suspicious.”

He kissed my forehead.

“That’s observation.”

Across the room, Kyra groaned dramatically.

“You two are disgustingly cute

Zane looked up from his tablet.

“I’ve been saying that for months.

“You say everything is disgusting.”

“Most things are.”

Kyra threw a napkin at him.

The argument continued for another five minutes while Conrad quietly laughed beside me. Watching them feit strangely comforting.

Not because everything was perfect.

Because it wasn’t. Life was still moving anyway.

A few days later I found Kyra sitting in the nursery surrounded by baby clothes.

She was sorting tiny outfits into piles while taking the task very seriously.

“What are you doing?”

She pointed.

“These are cute.”

Then another pile.

“These are extremely cute.”

Finally a third pile.

“These are criminally cute.”

I laughed so hard my stomach hurt.

Across the room, Zane rolled his eyes.

“She’s been ranking baby clothes for an hour.”

“It’s called organization.”

Because of the fourth child thing?

I nodded

He looked thoughtful. ‘Can I tell you something?”

“Always”

He looked down at his hands.

I don’t think it matters as much as you think.”

I blinked. “What doevi???”

I stared at him.

Zane continued carefully. “Maybe you’re related to us.”

He shrugged again. “Maybe you’re not?

For once he didn’t sound like a child.

“You’ve been taking care of us this whole time.

His voice remained steady.
