The Alpha Forgets 112
112 Lotty made Evelyn promise. Three times. The head nurse sat in her office with her arms crossed while Lotty stood in front of the desk holding the test results like they might disappear if she loosened her grip. "Not a word." Evelyn smiled. "Not a word." "I mean it." "I know." "No telling the staff." "Lotty…" "No telling Garrick." "I understand." "No telling Tony." That actually made Evelyn laugh. "Trust me. Tony is the last person I want involved in anything related to pregnancy rumors." Lotty finally relaxed slightly. Good. Because she wanted to be the one to tell Decker. Not a nurse. Not Tony. Not some wolf accidentally overhearing a conversation. Her. The entire drive home she couldn't stop smiling. Or panicking. Or smiling again. Every few minutes she would touch the folded test results in her bag just to make sure they were still there. Pregnant. The word still didn't feel real. By the time she reached the packhouse she had already decided exactly w
The Alpha Forgets 111
111 The weeks that followed settled into something neither Dark Mountain nor Silver Claw fully trusted. Peace. Not the fragile kind that existed between battles. Not the kind that came from exhaustion. Real peace. The sort that made warriors uncomfortable because they had forgotten what to do with it. For the first time in months, Dark Mountain wasn't preparing for an attack. There were still patrols. Still border checks. Still security reports. But they weren't living minute to minute waiting for the next crisis.The constant pressure had eased. The pack could finally breathe. Decker noticed the difference almost immediately. Wolves smiled more. The training yards were louder. Children played outside without their parents constantly watching the tree line. The dining hall stayed full long after meals ended because wolves actually wanted to sit together and talk. Simple things. Normal things. Things that had disappeared during the war. That didn't mean Decker stopped working. Far
The Alpha Forgets 110
110 For three full days, Decker and Lotty vanished. Not literally. Everyone knew exactly where they were. The entire packhouse knew exactly where they were. The problem was that no one was brave enough to knock on the door. Or stupid enough. By the end of the first day, it had become an unspoken rule throughout Dark Mountain. Leave the Alpha and Luna alone. Tony discovered this reality around lunchtime on the first day. He arrived outside Decker's suite carrying three reports, two requests for approval, and one problem involving a dispute between patrol leaders. He raised his hand toward the door. Then stopped. A look crossed his face. He lowered his hand. Turned around. And walked away. Jared found him halfway down the hallway. "You didn't knock." Tony stared at him. "No." "Why?" Tony continued walking. "Because I enjoy being alive." Jared considered that. "Fair." By dinner that evening, the kitchen staff had developed a system. Food was left outside the door. A tray

109 A few days after Jacob left Dark Mountain, life began settling into something that almost felt normal. Almost. The constant investigations had slowed. Ellis remained locked away. Silver Claw was busy cleaning its own house. For the first time in months, Decker wasn't waking every morning expecting another crisis. He wasn't complaining. It gave him time to focus on something far more important. Lotty. The two of them had slipped into a comfortable routine. Breakfast together. Training. Her shifts at the hospital. Evenings together in the packhouse. Simple things. The kind of things neither of them had realized they missed until they finally had them. That morning found them in the training gym. The large room buzzed with activity. Warriors occupied nearly every station. Some worked heavy bags. Others sparred on the mats. Weights clanked in the background. Most of the wolves present were young. Strong. Unmated males. Normally, Decker didn't think much of it. Today, however, he

108 Jacob left Dark Mountain with more than he had arrived with. He came with guards, suspicion, and a pack name stained by actions he hadn’t ordered. He left with proof. Names. Confessions. And a very clear understanding that cleaning Silver Claw would not be quiet. The morning of his departure was cold, but clear. Four SUVs waited in the front courtyard, engines idling softly while Silver Claw guards loaded the last of their things. The atmosphere was still tense, but not hostile anymore. That mattered. Decker stood at the top of the steps with Lotty beside him. Tony and Jared stood nearby, both alert. Selene stood beside Jacob, wrapped in a pale gray coat, her expression calm but thoughtful. Lotty and Selene had already said goodbye twice. They were about to do it a third time. Selene took Lotty’s hands in hers. “I’ll send word when we’re settled.” Lotty smiled. “Please do.” “And if you ever need to talk about pack matters, hospitals, difficult Alphas…” Lotty laughed softly

107 The next morning felt entirely different. The warmth from the welcoming feast was gone. Not erased. Just set aside. Because now the real reason for the visit stood waiting behind closed doors. Truth. Accountability. And whether Dark Mountain and Silver Claw walked away as allies or enemies. The packhouse woke early. Silver Claw guards rotated positions before sunrise. Dark Mountain warriors mirrored them from a distance that was respectful without being careless. The tension returned immediately. Sharper this time. Not hidden beneath music and polite conversation. Open. Expected. Lotty woke beside Decker before dawn fully broke across the mountains. For several quiet minutes, neither of them moved. She could feel it through the bond already. The weight of the day pressing against him. Not fear. Never fear. But readiness. He stared up at the ceiling, one arm around her waist, mind already turning through possibilities. Lotty rested her hand lightly against his chest. “You’re t

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
