Chapter 38: Ronan's POV

"He's asleep. Finally." Elara comes down the stairs rubbing her eyes, in soft clothes, hair loose. "He fought it for forty-five minutes. Apparently there are critical updates to the fort blueprint that cannot wait until morning."

"Did the updates get documented?" I ask.

"Three new pages. I had to confiscate the flashlight." She reaches the bottom of the stairs and seems to register, properly, that it's just the two of us. Mira left an hour ago, some pack council meetin

  • 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

    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

    Chapter 51: Elara's Pov I wake up regretting the porch, not regretting it cleanly nothing about this is clean but lying in the grey early light with the photograph still on my nightstand next to the letter and the honeysuckle, I think about what I said into the dark at two in the morning and I feel something close to panic.*I believe you about the photograph.*I said that. Out loud. To Rafe, standing in the trees, after everything that happened yesterday after a photograph arrived at my work with no explanation and cracked something open that I had spent six weeks carefully not examining, after three men stood on my porch and admitted they had been managing me instead of trusting me, after I sat on the floor of my own hallway like I was eighteen again.And then at two in the morning I walked outside in my coat and told him I believed him.*Why did you do that,* I ask myself now, in the unforgiving light of morning. *Why did you give him that so fast.*I sit up. The cottage is quie

    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 initiates. No fort days, no training sessions, no dropping by the clinic." I pause. "She asked us to leave. We leave.""We leave the territory?" Ronan's voice is sharp."No." Ryker, from his chair. "We stay. We said we weren't leaving and we meant it. But Rafe is right, we don't push. We give her the space to process this without us standing on her doorstep waiting for her to be ready."Ronan puts his hands through his hair. "And if she decides she's done? If she uses the space to close back up completely and we just... wait and watch it happen?""Then that was always going to be her right," I say. "We don't get to decide how she processes this by controlling the conditions. That's exactly

  • Pregnant After My Triplets Mate Rejected Me   Chapter 49: Should I Forgive Them?

    Chapter 49: Elara's Pov I heard a knock on the door around 8pm, I know it's them before I reach the bottom of the stairs. Three sets of footsteps on the porch, I have learned the sound of them the way you learn the sound of things that matter, without deciding to. Ryker's weight evenly distributed, deliberate. Ronan slightly heavier on the right foot. Rafe barely audible at all.I stop at the bottom of the stairs.Mom appears in the kitchen doorway. She looks at me. I look at her. She steps back into the kitchen without saying anything, which is the most useful thing she could possibly do right now.I cross to the door.I put my hand on the handle.I do not open it.On the other side, Ryker knocks again... twice, measured. Not urgent. Not demanding. The knock of someone who is prepared to wait."Elara." His voice comes through the wood clearly. "I know what Vivian sent. I know what it looked like."I press my back against the door and slide down until I am sitting on the floor with
