Rejected and Pregnant with Alpha Twins Chapter Twenty Three
~Caden’s POV~He sends the message at eight in the morning.Pack Hall. My office. Ten o'clock.He does not explain the reason. He does not need to. An Alpha summoning someone to his office at a stated time requires no justification in advance, and he is not in the practice of offering justifications in advance, and he is particularly not in the practice of offering them to people whose presence in his life is, as of this morning, a matter of documented deception rather than earned standing.He arrives at Pack Hall at half past nine and sits at his desk with nothing on its surface except the folder and a glass of water he does not drink.Vivienne arrives at two minutes before ten, which tells him something. Not early enough to appear eager. Not late enough to suggest indifference. Two minutes before is the calculation of someone who has prepared for this and is managing the timing as one of the variables available to her.She looks composed. She looks, in fact, precisely as she always
Rejected and Pregnant with Alpha Twins Chapter Twenty Two
~Caden’s POV~Conrad does not sit.He has not sat in any of their meetings, and Caden has come to understand this as a professional discipline rather than a social statement — the posture of a man who treats information delivery as a transaction with a defined endpoint, who does not allow the furniture to suggest otherwise. He stands at the far side of the desk with the folder held at his side and waits until the door is fully closed before he begins."I'll go in order," he says.Caden nods once.The first section concerns Vivienne's departure from Cresthaven three years ago.Conrad presents it without preface. She left of her own volition. There was no coercion, no captivity, no external party involved in her disappearance. The account she provided on her return — held against her will, unable to make contact — is contradicted by six independent data points, which Conrad names in sequence: two financial transactions she initiated herself in the first month after leaving, a registere
Rejected and Pregnant with Alpha Twins Chapter Twenty One
~Selene’s POV~She wakes at three in the morning and lies still.This is not unusual, in itself — the second trimester has rearranged her sleep into something she no longer fully controls, the twins redistributing the interior geography of her body with the unhurried authority of persons who have not yet learned to consult anyone else about their requirements. She has grown accustomed to the 3 a.m. inventory: a glass of water, a brief reckoning with whichever small body part has pressed itself against the wrong internal surface, and then back to sleep.Tonight is different.She knows this before she has fully assembled the waking thought, in the seconds between sleep and the room where the city's night sounds sit outside the window and the velvet box is on the nightstand and everything is as it was when she closed her eyes. She knows it the way she knows the grey-dog man's schedule and the quality of the east light — by the particular weight of the knowing, which is not like any knowi
Rejected and Pregnant with Alpha Twins Chapter Twenty
~Caden’s POV~The breakfast table at Blackwell Manor seats twelve.This is not a detail he has thought about in years — the table is simply the table, a piece of furniture inherited alongside the manor's other inherited facts. But this morning, with Vivienne at the far end and the distance of eleven empty chairs between them, he finds himself noting it the way he notes distances in tactical assessments: precisely, and with an understanding of what the measurement means.She has a coffee. She holds it with the practiced ease of someone who has learned that comfort is best performed through small, habitual gestures, and he has watched her perform this one for three weeks now without deciding, until this morning, what to call it."I wanted to speak with you about the guest wing," she says.Her voice carries the register she uses for uncomplicated requests. Pleasant, reasonable, without the particular surface tension that precedes something she wants more urgently. She has calibrated it c
Rejected and Pregnant with Alpha Twins Chapter Nineteen
~Selene’s POV~The third assignment ends at half past two on a Tuesday.Bea from Meridian Events sends the confirmation through before Selene has finished packing her notes — the event ran smoothly, the client is pleased, and there is, Bea writes, a question she would like to discuss at Selene's earliest convenience regarding availability for something larger in the new year. Selene reads the message standing at the entrance to the Meridian Street offices with her bag over one shoulder and the thin autumn sun doing its best above the roofline across the road.She writes back: Available. Call when you're ready.She presses send and puts her phone in her pocket.She walks to the café on the corner because Petra is already there, because Petra is constitutionally incapable of being anywhere other than already there, which is something Selene has come to understand is simply how Petra moves through the world, preceding things, occupying her corner of them before arrival can become an even
Rejected and Pregnant with Alpha Twins Chapter Eighteen
~Caden’s POV~Rhys does not sit down when he comes back.This is not unusual. Rhys does not sit in this office unless the conversation requires duration, and the delivery of a single finding does not require duration. He stands in the doorway with his coat still on, which means he came directly, which means the finding warranted coming directly, and Caden registers this before a word is spoken."Larkspur Lane," Rhys says.Caden sets down his pen."Curtains drawn. Post not collected — looks to be four months of accumulation, possibly more." Rhys moves to the chair across the desk but does not sit. He rests one hand on the back of it. "No recent scent trail. The neighbours on the eastern side say the woman who lived there left in a car with a younger woman in early autumn. Neither of them has been back."Early autumn.He does not say the word that arrives with the timing. He does not need to. The timing says it by itself, in the same way the fourteen-week document said everything it nee
