작가: Bandia
last update 게시일: 2026-06-03 21:20:29

It started with the Duke.

His name was Aldric, and he arrived at the palace on a Wednesday as part of a routine noble house visitation schedule that Alexander's secretary managed with the precision of someone who understood that proximity to the crown was the primary currency of the aristocracy and had to be rationed accordingly.

Aldric was seventy, broad-shouldered in the way that powerful men who have stopped doing anything physical remain broad-shouldered, and he carried himself with the spe

  • The Alpha’s Regret: Mommy’s Secret Triplets   Chapter Thirty: The Quiet Before the Crown

    The night before the coronation, Aria could not sleep.She had expected this. She had planned for it, actually, in the practical way she planned for most things now, by not scheduling anything demanding for the morning after and by telling Delia the previous afternoon that the night nursery shift would need covering through to breakfast. She had known she would be awake. She had simply not known what being awake would feel like.It felt like this.She sat in the east wing garden in the dark, on the stone bench nearest the fountain, with a blanket around her shoulders and three sleeping children arranged against her in the configuration they defaulted to when all five of them ended up in the same space outside of their structured sleep time.Zara was on her left, sitting upright even in sleep, her small head dropped to the side and resting against Aria's arm with the reluctant quality of someone who had not intended to fall asleep and was maintaining as much dignity as possible about h

  • The Alpha’s Regret: Mommy’s Secret Triplets   Chapter Twenty-Nine: Chloe's Pregnancy Announcement

    The announcement came at dinner.Chloe had chosen dinner deliberately, which Caleb understood the moment she did it, because Chloe understood staging the way certain people understand it instinctively, as a tool rather than an art form, something you used to produce a specific effect in a specific audience. Dinner meant the full senior pack table. It meant witnesses. It meant the news would be through the entire pack by morning without her having to do anything further.She stood up midway through the main course, which was itself a staging choice because standing at a seated dinner commanded attention without requiring anyone to call for it, and she said, with the warm, practiced smile she used for pack-facing occasions, that she had something to share.She was pregnant.The table responded the way pack tables respond to pregnancy announcements, with the immediate warmth of a community that understood its own continuation as a collective investment. Congratulations came from every di

  • The Alpha’s Regret: Mommy’s Secret Triplets   Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Coronation Preparation

    The formal proposal came on a Thursday morning.Not the Queenship itself, which she had already accepted in the quiet of Alexander's study three months ago. This was the coronation proposal, the specific, logistical, date-stamped reality of a public ceremony that would make what she had accepted in private into something the entire Lycan world would witness and be required to acknowledge.Alexander brought it to her in the east wing sitting room where she had taken to having her morning tea before the children woke, which was her second guaranteed quiet period of the day after the twenty minutes before the nursery stirred. He knocked twice, came in when she answered, and sat across from her with a single document that he placed on the low table between them.She picked it up.

  • The Alpha’s Regret: Mommy’s Secret Triplets   Chapter Twenty-Seven: Caleb Hears a Rumor

    The merchant's name was Fenn, and he came through Silver Fang territory twice a year.He was the kind of traveler that pack territories tolerated because he was useful, moving between settlements with a cart of dry goods and hardware and the particular currency of someone who had been everywhere recently and remembered everything. Packs that would never formally share information with each other shared it accidentally through men like Fenn, who collected what he heard without appearing to collect it and distributed it without appearing to distribute it, wrapped in the ordinary transaction of buying and selling things that people needed.Caleb had been aware of Fenn since childhood. His father had tolerated him for the same reasons he now did.Fenn arrived on a Wednesday in early spring, setting up his cart at the pack's trading post with the unhurried efficiency of someone who knew his reception was guaranteed. Caleb was in the middle of a budget review with his finance council when M

  • The Alpha’s Regret: Mommy’s Secret Triplets   Chapter Twenty-Six: Aria Delivers Intelligence

    She gave herself one hour before going to Alexander.Not because she needed the hour to decide what to do with what Theo had found. That decision had been clear from the moment she read the note. She needed the hour to do what Vrenna had been teaching her for the past several months, which was to understand something fully before acting on it, to arrive at a conversation already three steps ahead rather than carrying raw information and waiting for someone else to process it.She sat at the desk in her east wing study with Theo's note in front of her and thought about what she actually knew.Two pack names. A date that was six weeks from now. The phrase they are planning together against the King, which was Theo's summary of what he had heard rather than a direct transcript, meant she needed to account for the interpretation of a three year old, however unusually precise that interpretation had proven to be.She thought about what she knew about both packs independently.The first, Ha

  • The Alpha’s Regret: Mommy’s Secret Triplets   Chapter Twenty-Five: Theo Hacks

    It started, as most things with Theo did, with boredom.Aria had made her peace with the fact that her son experienced boredom as a physical discomfort rather than a mild inconvenience, and that the gap between him becoming bored and him doing something about it was approximately four minutes on a slow day. She had structured his environment accordingly, working with the palace's head librarian to maintain a rotating supply of age-inappropriate material that Theo worked through at a pace the librarian found professionally unsettling and personally fascinating.He was three years old.He had finished the current rotation in two days.Aria had been in a session with Vrenna on the morning it happened, which meant the nursery attendant, a patient young woman named Delia, was the one present when Theo decided that the palace's internal communication array was more interesting than anything currently available to him on his shelf.The array was not, technically, accessible from the nursery.
