THE CONTRACTED LUNA SECRET TRIPLETS Chapter 18
The nursery was on the residential level, two rooms down from the master bedroom.Ryder had cleared it in a day — the previous furniture out, fresh paint on the walls by that evening, a warm cream that caught the afternoon light in a way the rest of the penthouse's stark tones didn't. He hadn't told her he was doing it. She'd come out of the bathroom one morning to find three flat-pack crib boxes stacked in the corridor and him standing over them with the assembly instructions in one hand and the expression of a man confronting an adversary he hadn't trained for."You don't have to—" she started."I want to," he said. He looked up. "But I may need help with step four."She helped with step four.They spent the afternoon on the nursery floor with hex keys and wooden panels and a small mountain of bolts sorted into three piles by size. The cribs were white with clean lines — she'd sent him the picture from her phone three days ago without expecting anything to come of it, and he'd simpl

The alarm went at two-seventeen in the morning.Not the penthouse system — the perimeter wire, three levels below. A series of quick, specific pulses that Ava had learned to read in the last week: not system fault, not wildlife trigger.Breach.She was sitting up before the sound fully registered, one hand on her belly, the other reaching for the light.Ryder was already pulling on his tactical vest."Stay in the panic room," he said, without turning."How many?"A beat."Small unit. Six, maybe eight. Probing attack — they want to test the south perimeter response time." He buckled the vest and finally looked at her. "It's not a full assault. They're measuring us.""Then you need every advantage measuring back." She was already on her feet. "I won't fight. I'll shield. There's a difference — you know there is."His jaw set."Ava—""Marcus can't generate a golden barrier. Your security wolves can't either." She met his eyes steadily. "But I can hold a line so your people don't take sil

The council chamber was on the third floor — a long room with a stone table, twelve chairs, and no windows.Ava had never been inside it.She stood in the doorway now in a fitted black dress, the golden mark visible at her collarbone, her hair down. Six generals and four alliance representatives looked up from their seats with the collective expression of people who had not been told to expect her.Ryder was already at the head of the table.He looked at her. Then at the empty chair to his right."Sit," he said.She sat.Nobody spoke against it. Whatever they thought, they read the room — the Alpha's posture, the mark on her neck, the way his eyes moved to her first before addressing the table — and they kept it to themselves.Marcus dimmed the lights and brought up the tactical map.Red markers spread across the screen like a rash — Evergreen Pack's hidden bases, seven of them, identified through the intel Marcus had extracted from the traitor general and confirmed through three days

The pack hospital smelled like antiseptic and warm linen.Ryder had insisted on a private wing. The corridor was empty when they arrived — just Dr. Vance, a young nurse whose heartbeat spiked slightly when Ryder walked past, and the soft hum of medical equipment. Ava changed into the hospital gown and sat on the edge of the examination table and breathed.Ryder stood in the corner with his arms crossed."You can come closer," she said.He uncrossed his arms and came to stand at her shoulder.Dr. Vance moved through the preliminary checks without commentary, the efficient calm of a doctor who had attended enough pack pregnancies that nothing surprised him. Blood pressure. Temperature. A brief external assessment of the bump that had finally, undeniably announced itself in the last two weeks.Then the ultrasound.Cold gel. The smooth movement of the probe. The first rush of sound — rapid, steady, layered — three heartbeats filtering through the monitor's speakers like rain on different

Marcus brought the report at six-fifteen in the morning.Ava heard the knock and felt Ryder go from asleep to alert in a single breath — no groggy middle, no adjustment period, the switch flicked to on between one heartbeat and the next. He eased his arm out from behind her with care, dropped his feet to the floor, and crossed to the door in silence.She kept her eyes closed. She listened.Low voices. Marcus's clipped efficiency. Ryder's silence — the particular quality of it when he was assembling something unpleasant into a clear picture.The door closed.She opened her eyes.He was standing at the window with the pre-dawn city behind him and Marcus's report in his hand, and the set of his shoulders told her everything before he turned."One of my generals," he said. "Drafted two years ago from a neutral eastern pack. I brought him in personally." A pause. His jaw moved. "He's been feeding information to Evergreen for three months."Ava sat up slowly."Logan's operation.""And befor
