The Alpha Forgets 118
118 The pregnancy was still not official. That was what Decker kept saying. No announcement had been made. No formal word had gone through the pack link. No celebration had been planned. Which meant, technically, the pack did not know. Technically. In reality, Dark Mountain knew. Everyone knew. They knew because the kitchen had quietly removed every smell that made Lotty nauseous from the breakfast menu. They knew because her hospital office now contained crackers, ginger tea, three blankets, and a chair that had mysteriously become more comfortable overnight. And they definitely knew because Garrick changed her training routine. That was when the warriors noticed. Immediately. Lotty stood on the mats with Garrick one morning, arms crossed, staring at him. “This is stretching.” Garrick nodded. “Yes.” “I came here to train.” “This is training.” “No. This is what you make injured patients do before you let them walk down a hallway.” Several warriors nearby pretended not to listen

117 Decker and Lotty agreed not to announce the pregnancy right away. It was sensible. Private. Responsible. They wanted to wait until she was farther along. Long enough for the risk to lessen. Long enough for the news to feel steady beneath their feet instead of bright and fragile. They told themselves it would be easy. They were wrong. The first problem was breakfast. Lotty made it halfway through the dining hall before the smell of fried meat hit her. She stopped dead. Decker stopped with her. Tony, walking behind them with a report in hand, nearly ran into Decker’s back. “What?” Lotty clamped one hand over her mouth. Decker’s head snapped toward her. “Lotty?” Her eyes watered. “I’m fine.” She was not fine. Three seconds later, she turned and hurried out of the dining hall with more dignity than anyone vomiting into the nearest guest bathroom should have been able to manage. The entire dining hall went silent. Tony stared after her. Then slowly looked at Decker. Decker gave h

116 The next morning surprised both Alphas. Not because of anything dangerous. Not because of a new crisis. For once, it was something good. Decker and Adam entered the dining hall together shortly after sunrise. Neither was fully awake yet. Both carried coffee. Both expected a quiet breakfast before Edgewater Falls began preparing for the trip home. Instead, they stopped in the doorway. The room was already full. And something unexpected was happening. Dark Mountain warriors sat beside Edgewater warriors. Not across from them. Not separated by tables. Together. Conversations filled the room. Laughter. Arguments. Stories. Friendly insults. The sounds of wolves enjoying breakfast. For several seconds both Alphas simply stared. "What happened?" Adam asked. Decker looked equally confused. "I have no idea." Matthew appeared from somewhere behind them carrying a plate piled dangerously high with food. "They discovered they have things in common." Adam looked skeptical. "Impossible.

115 Eventually, the excitement settled. Not completely. That would have been impossible. Matthew was still grinning every few minutes. Adam still looked at Lotty like he couldn't quite believe what he'd heard. And Decker looked entirely too pleased with himself. But eventually the celebration gave way to business. As it always did. The conference room door closed again. This time the atmosphere was very different. Warmer. Less guarded. Still serious. But not hostile. Decker spread several folders across the table. Adam took the seat across from him while Matthew claimed a chair beside them with a notebook already open. The Beta looked almost excited. Which usually meant trouble for someone. "Alright," Adam said, settling into his chair. "Let's hear it." Decker nodded. The Alpha disappeared. The investigator emerged. For the next two hours, the room became a war map of information. Names. Dates. Routes. Financial transfers. Secret meetings. Confessions. Everything gathered from El

114 The next morning, Dark Mountain looked more like it was preparing for a diplomatic summit than a family visit. Decker wasn't surprised. Neither was Jared. The General stood in the courtyard before sunrise organizing warrior assignments while patrol leaders moved around him. Additional guards. Additional perimeter coverage. Additional eyes on the surrounding forest. Not because they expected trouble. Because Adam was coming. And Adam prepared for everything. Jared finished assigning a group of warriors to the packhouse security rotation and walked over to where Decker stood overlooking the main gate. "He'll bring more wolves than he needs." Decker nodded. "Yes." Jared crossed his arms. "Are you offended he doesn't trust us?" "No." That answer surprised him. Decker continued watching the road."If our positions were reversed, I'd do the same thing." That was true. Adam wasn't coming as an ally. He wasn't coming as an enemy either. He was coming as a brother. Which was sometime

113 The next morning, Decker looked far too calm. Tony noticed immediately. That alone made him suspicious. Decker was seated at the head of the conference table with a stack of reports in front of him, but he hadn’t read a single page in nearly ten minutes. His fingers rested lightly against the wood, his gaze unfocused in a way Tony had rarely seen from him. Not distracted by danger. Not lost in strategy. Happy. That was worse. Tony leaned back slowly in his chair. “Alright.” Decker looked up. “What.” Tony pointed at him. “That.” Jared, standing near the window with his arms crossed, glanced over. Decker’s brow lifted. “That?” “Yes. Whatever that is.” Decker’s mouth twitched faintly. Tony narrowed his eyes further. “Oh no.” Jared looked between them. “What.” Tony didn’t take his eyes off Decker. “He’s pleased.” Jared’s expression shifted slightly. Barely. But it was enough to show concern. “That is unusual.” “Exactly,” Tony said. Decker leaned back in his chair. “I ne

54 The air shifted before they even arrived. Lotty felt it standing at Decker’s side on the wide stone steps of the packhouse, the late afternoon light stretching long shadows across the courtyard. The guards were tighter than usual. Patrols doubled along the perimeter. Even the wolves moving thro

40 The next two days passed in a blur of long hours and hard decisions. Nothing about the truce was perfect, but it was real. Adam and Decker worked side by side, sometimes agreeing, sometimes clashing, but never once crossing the line into hostility. There were moments, brief ones, where Lotty w

39 The candles had burned down to stubs. Dinner sat half-cleared on the small table, forgotten. The room still carried the faint warmth of what had almost happened, something soft, something intimate, but now it was overshadowed by the sharp edge of reality. Blood had replaced romance. War had in
The Alpha Forgets 37
37 The evening had been planned carefully. Too carefully. Decker had spent most of the afternoon arranging it, quietly coordinating with the kitchen and slipping back upstairs before Lotty could suspect anything. The guards had noticed, of course, nothing happened in the packhouse without someone
