Chapter 17

Rafe’s Pov

The light in her bedroom goes out at eleven forty-three.

I know because I have been watching it.

I am standing at the tree line with my back against an oak that is wide enough to lean on without being seen from the cottage, and I have been here since nine — since Ryker finished his meeting with the Silverveil Beta and Ronan went back to the hotel to argue with Elias about something I stopped listening to. I told them I was doing a perimeter check.

That was not a lie. It w

  • Pregnant After My Triplets Mate Rejected Me   Chapter 57; Leave my son out of this

    Chapter 57: Elara's Pov "There's a Regional Council notice posted," Penda says, on her way past the break room. "On the pack board outside. Something about the Kane territory harassment case." She pauses at the door. "You don't have to look at it. Just thought you'd want to know it exists."She goes out while I sit with my half-eaten lunch for three minutes.Then I go look at it.*****The pack notice board is in the small square between the clinic and the administrative building the public-facing one, where formal Council communications get posted alongside market announcements and community meetings. There are three other people reading various notices when I arrive. None of them are paying attention to the document pinned at the far right corner under the formal Council header.I am.It is four pages. A summary of the Regional Council's acknowledgment of the formal complaint filed by the Blackthorn Alpha family aga

  • Pregnant After My Triplets Mate Rejected Me   Chapter 56:I think I am getting closer.

    Chapter 56: Rafe's Pov The kitchen light goes on at eleven-fourteen.Not Elara... Mira. I know from the movement, the pace of the silhouette behind the curtain. Elara moves faster in kitchens, more purposeful. Mira moves like someone who has been in every kitchen she has ever stood in long enough to know where everything is without looking.I have learned to read the cottage in the dark the way I have learned to read the cottage in daylight, which is with a specificity that I recognize as either devotion or obsession, and have decided the distinction doesn't matter right now.Eleven twenty-three. The back door opens.Mira steps onto the porch.She is in her heavy cardigan and her sleeping clothes, two cups in her hands, looking out toward the tree line with the expression of a woman who has been awake for a while doing things other than sleeping.She holds up one of the cups toward the trees.I step out of the

  • Pregnant After My Triplets Mate Rejected Me   Chapter 55: Don't fight

    Chapter 55: Elara's Pov "Mom. You dropped it again."I look down. The chart is on the floor. I don't remember dropping it."I've got it." I crouch and pick it up and stand and Penda is watching me with the expression she has been wearing all week not the curious one from before, something more careful, the look of someone who has decided not to ask because they don't think they'll get an honest answer.She is correct about that."Go take your break early," she says. "I'll cover the next twenty minutes.""I'm fine — ""Elara." Her voice is gentle but final. "Go sit down for a bit. Please."******The break room is empty, I sir at the table and put both elbows on the surface and press my hands over my face and breathe, slowly, the way I used to breathe in the first months in Silverveil when the rejection sickness came at night and I needed something to hold onto.The chest pain is back,not the sharp kind from the field house, not the acute kind, the deep, low kind. The bond kind. The

  • Pregnant After My Triplets Mate Rejected Me   Chapter 54: Kane's Messages

    Chapter 54: Ryker's POV We reached Kane's call by 7 and I am already awake, i have been awake since five, working through the legal response framework Adanna sent overnight, the one that outlines what Kane is legally permitted to do in response to the Council filing and what crosses into actionable retaliation. I see his name on the screen and I let it ring twice before I answer, because answering immediately tells him something I don't want him to know."Ryker." His voice is pleasant in the way that very dangerous things are pleasant... surface smooth, pressure underneath. "I got your Council filing.""I expected you would.""It's thorough. I'll give you that." A pause, the kind that is not a pause but a calibration. "Though I find the characterization of my daughter's actions somewhat dramatic. A photograph, Ryker. You've escalated to the Regional Council over a photograph.""I've escalated to the Regional Council over a documented pattern of harassment targeting a civilian and a

  • Pregnant After My Triplets Mate Rejected Me   Chapter 53:

    Chapter 53: Ronan's POV "You've checked your phone four times in the last ten minutes."I look up. Rafe is across the hotel suite, perfectly still in the armchair, watching me with the particular patience he deploys when he's decided I need to hear something I don't want to hear."I'm waiting on a supplier confirmation," I say. "For the watchtower materials.""It's been five days. There is no watchtower materials order."I set the phone down on the table, face down, with more force than necessary. "Fine. I'm checking if she's texted.""I know.""You didn't need to make me say it.""I think you needed to say it," Rafe says. "You've been pretending to be busy for five days. It's not convincing anyone."I drop into the chair across from him and put my head back against the cushion and look at the ceiling. Five days. No fort, no training, no dinners, no goodnight texts about bridge inspections. Five days of nothing, which I agreed to, which I understand the reasoning for, which I would

  • Pregnant After My Triplets Mate Rejected Me   Chapter 52: My Daughter is slipping away slowly

    Chapter 52: Mira's Pov Four days.I have been counting because counting is something to do with my hands when I cannot do anything with the rest of myself. Four days since the photograph arrived. Four days since Elara stopped checking her phone openly and started checking it in the bathroom with the door closed, where she thinks I cannot hear the specific quality of disappointed silence that follows.She has not mentioned Ronan, Ryker, or Rafe by name once in four days.This is the part that worries me most. Not the silence itself,silence I understand, silence has its uses, silence can be a place to gather strength rather than a place to hide. But the specific shape of this silence, the deliberate erasure of their names from her vocabulary, the way she refers to "the situation" or "everything that happened" instead of saying who did what... that is not gathering strength. That is a retreat.I have seen this version of my daughter before. I built a clinic shift around this version for

  • Pregnant After My Triplets Mate Rejected Me   Chapter 50: Lets give her space

    Chapter 50: Rafe's Pov "We give her space."Ronan looks at me like I have suggested something painful, which is because I have. "How much space.""As much as she needs." I am at the window of the hotel suite. The Silverveil night is clear outside. "No showing up at the cottage. No texts unless she

  • Pregnant After My Triplets Mate Rejected Me   Chapter 48; What should we do

    Chapter 48: Ryker's POV "Say that again."Elias does not flinch. He has worked for me long enough to know that the stillness that comes over me when something is genuinely wrong is more dangerous than the versions that make noise. "A courier was tracked from the Kane estate this morning. Paid in

  • Pregnant After My Triplets Mate Rejected Me   Chapter 46: Vivian Kane

    Chapter 47: Mira's Pov The door takes three attempts at the lock.I am in the kitchen when I hear it, the specific scrape of a key not finding the cylinder cleanly, once, twice, and then on the third try the lock turns and the door opens and closes with more force than necessary.I set down the he

  • Pregnant After My Triplets Mate Rejected Me   Chapter 46: Who is the sender?

    Chapter 46: Elara's Pov "There's an envelope for you. Front desk left it in your tray."I look up from the patient chart. Penda is holding out a plain white envelope, my name written on the front in handwriting I don't recognize — *E. Voss,* nothing else."Who dropped it off?" I ask."A courier.
