Conrad POV

“What exactly do you mean by that?” I asked finally.

The Alpha folded his hands behind his back carefully. “Years ago, Bethany attempted to connect herself to the Supreme Alpha bloodline through negotiation with one of the former ruling branches.”

Amorah frowned immediately. “Negotiation?”

“She wanted access,” the Alpha answered. “Power. Influence. Position.”

I watched him closely while pieces started fitting together in ways I did not like.

“She was rejected,” I concluded.

The older Alpha gave a slow nod. “Not quietly either.”

Amorah crossed her arms loosely. “So this started long before Holmes.”

“Yes,” the Alpha replied. “Holmes became useful later.”

The room fell silent again after that.

For the first time since Bethany entered our lives, her obsession finally started making complete sense to me. This had only been about revenge or rituals.

It was resentment.

Resentment toward a system that denied her access.

Toward bloodlines she could not control. Toward power she believed should have belonged to her.

“She hates the structure itself,” Amorah murmured quietly.

I looked toward her immediately.

Amorah leaned against the edge of the table beside me. “That means Holmes probably thinks he is when he really is not.”

Searching for her first, Checking whether she looked tired. Watching whether stress was affecting her.

Everything around me had started revolving around her presence naturally,

And I no longer wanted to stop it.

“You should rest,” I told her quietly.

Amorah raised an eyebrow. “You said that three times already tonight.”

“You ignored me all three times.”

“I am pregnant, not fragile.”

I stepped closer before answering. “You are exhausted.”

Her expression softened slightly after that.

“And you are worried,” she replied quietly.

I did not deny it.

That would have been pointless now.

Later that evening, I returned to the private quarters after finishing several council calls. The moment I entered the sitting room, I stopped automatically.

Kyra sat curled against Amorah’s side on the couch while reading aloud from one of her books quietly. Amorah rested back against the cushions with one hand over her stomach while listening carefully.

Zane sat cross–legged on the floor nearby sorting through several printed nursery designs with visible irritation.

“This one is terrible,” he complained.

Kyra glanced down at him. “You said that about all of them.”

“Because they all look boring.”

Amorah looked amused. “You are both discussing this like the baby arrives tomorrow.”

“It is important.” Kyra argued immediately.

Zane held up another page. “This one has wolves painted on the walls.”

“That sounds worse,” Kyra replied.

I stayed near the doorway longer than necessary while watching them.

Amorah finally noticed me standing there. “You are staring

I moved further into the room slowly. “You are planning an entire nursery without permission.

Kyra brightened immediately. “Zane wants dark walls.

“Because babies do not need bright colors everywhere,” he defended
