Pregnant With the Northern Alpha’s Six Heirs Chapter 18
In the spring of 1892, the old pharmacy in Gloom Valley reopened. Next to it stood a new two-story building. The sign read: Hart Moonlight Clinic.Three wooden boards were nailed to the clinic entrance.The first listed examination risks. The second stated that children could not be forcibly separated from their primary caregiver. The third stated that declining an examination would not cost a patient continued treatment.On opening day, seventeen families were already sitting on the steps. Some had fled Silver Cross wards and still hid their consent forms in their shoes, afraid that handing them over meant never getting them back.I did not ask about bloodlines first. I let each family decide whether to close the door, whether to have someone stay with them, and whether to allow physical contact. Dr. Grey opened each drug vial in front of the patient. Agnes sat at the table, reading complicated clauses out loud, sentence by sentence, for mothers who could not read.A nurse wrote "decl

After the trial, Lucian handed me a new registration decision.The Northern mate registry had removed any automatic link to me. There was no default marriage pact, and giving birth to Lucian's heirs would no longer automatically register me as Duchess."Where you live is your decision," he said. "I will only visit and cover expenses as the charter dictates."I flipped to the last page. "Aren't you afraid I will never come back to the North?""I am." His answer came fast. "But I cannot lock the door just because I am afraid."The six children did not immediately call him father. They put Lucian through a series of tests that only children could dream up.Rowan told him to go to Gloom Valley and carry the foundation stones from the old pharmacy. He added, "Black Riders are not allowed to help."Lucian hauled stones for three days, wearing through two pairs of gloves. Rowan squatted beside him, counted the last stone, and then handed him a cup of water.Cora asked him every day, "Does sav

On the winter solstice, the human special tribunal and the Moon Council opened sessions simultaneously. Octavia sat on the left of the defendant's bench. Archbishop Malrek sat on the right. The clerk collected both their crests and placed only numbered placards in front of them.The presiding judge first asked the prosecution, "Can every charge be tied to a witness or a piece of evidence?"Beatrice stood. "They can."Dr. Grey was the first to testify. She presented the diagnostic form from three years ago, pointing to the custody column that had been filled in before the examination began. Edgar then took the witness stand and described how the six children had saved twenty-seven miners, and how Garrick had used unpaid wages and housing to silence the workers.Agnes placed the birth register on the table. Corwin submitted the sponsor list. The bookbinder took apart the forged contract, identifying the new paper, the old thread, and the resealed wax. Theo pressed two pieces of lead type

The mine tunnels were lined with sanctified silver. Any moon-blooded who came near would first lose their strength, then be poisoned. This time, Lucian could not lead the charge.I traced a route on the map. "The Black Riders seal the tunnel exit. Lucian cuts off reinforcements."He looked at me. "You are going aboard?""I am human, and I am a pharmacist. The silver won't kill me on contact.""It is still dangerous.""I know."This time, he did not say no. Theo, two human detectives who were not sensitive to silver, and I boarded the pursuit train. The six children stayed in a safe carriage at the rear with Beatrice, handling telegrams. Rowan's only job was to sense the tracks. Jasper's only role was to summon the moor wolf pack if needed. Everyone had the right to pull out.The black train cut through the blizzard like a coal-burning serpent. As we climbed onto the last freight car, Octavia's voice carried through the train's speaking tubes."Agnes has confessed that Elowen stole the

On the night of the winter ball, I did not wear the Blackwood crest. I wore a dark gray dress with my pharmacist's badge pinned to the front. The newspapers still called me "the pauper mother of the wolf pups" on the front page. I folded that paper and carried it into the ballroom.Octavia stood beneath the crystal chandelier, flanked by the young lady chosen by the pureblood families. She began by announcing that the North needed a stable political marriage, then declared that the six children should receive "an education befitting heirs." Finally, she had a servant bring out a contract."Elowen Hart knew the reproductive risks all along," she said. "She hid the children only to demand power when the time was right."The nobles looked at me.Lucian stepped forward, but I raised a hand to stop him. My name was the one on trial.Octavia, however, did not give me the chance to speak. She had a photograph displayed showing me shackled in Saint Oran, then read the panic attack diagnosis al

I placed the Saint Oran drug vials in a developing rack. When the sediment settled to the bottom, the black impurities matched the sample from the silver cup three years ago exactly, pointing to the same mine and the same refining method.Theo pinned both results side by side on the wall. "The black impurities in the silver salt come from a Northern coal seam. Only the Saint Vane Mine has this ratio."The Saint Vane Mine was nominally under the Crown but had always been managed by the Silver Cross. The mine produced silver, the purification institutes used the drugs, the sponsoring families paid, and missing half-blood children were sent into operating rooms. Archbishop Elias Malrek had been running this pipeline for years.The last place Corwin had been seen was an old railway bridge.Rowan pressed his ear to the ground and listened for a long time. "Someone is down there."Lucian's response was immediate. "The children stay at the estate."All six children looked at him.Finn asked,
