I stared at him, suddenly understanding. "They saw me as a threat. Even before they knew who I was."

"On some instinctual level, maybe." Liam nodded. "Alpha blood recognises Alpha blood, even when we don't recognises Alpha blood, even when we don't consciously realise consciously realise it."

I glanced back at the photos on the desk, at the faces of my parents, my real parents. People who had died because they dared to challenge the status quo.

"If your father reveals who I am at the ceremony, won't that put everyone in danger? The Northern Alliance…"

"Is weakened now," Liam finished. "Two of the three main families have new Alphas who don't share their fathers' extreme views. My father believes it's time to bring you out of hiding."

"And what do you believe?" I asked.

He met my gaze steadily. "I believe you deserve to know who you are and where you come from. The rest... we'll figure out together."

"Together?" I raised an eyebrow. "Since when are we a 'we'?"

    "See? Exhausted," he said, his dark eyes soft with concern. "You've done enough for one day."I rested my head against his shoulder, too tired to argue. The events of the past twenty-four hours had drained me in ways I hadn't fully appreciated until now. My limbs felt heavy, and even Diamond's presence seemed subdued, content to let me rest.When we reached our suite, Fin pulled back the covers while Kane gently laid me on the bed. The simple domesticity of the moment struck me, these four powerful Alphas attending to my needs with such tender care. It was still a novelty that made my heart ache with unexpected emotion."I never thought I'd have this," I murmured as Liam helped me out of my shoes. "People who actually care whether I'm tired or hungry or cold."

    Brent smiled, his amber eyes warming with understanding. "The birth date deception is an ancient practice in powerful bloodlines. Your parents altered your recorded birthday to protect you; it throws off anyone trying to target you during your most vulnerable time.""The tradition would still serve a purpose," Kane added thoughtfully. "For our future children."The casual mention of children sent a flutter through my stomach. The thought of someday having a family with these four men, carrying their children, continuing both the Maxwell and Blackthorne bloodlines, felt simultaneously terrifying and right."That's... something to consider," I managed, feeling heat rise in my cheeks.Fin's grin was wicked as he caught my reaction thro

    The Blackthorne line had returned, and we were done hiding in the shadows.It was late and my stomach at that moment decided to growl loudly, which seemed to shift the move in the room , making my mates chuckle."I think our Luna needs to eat," Brent said, his amber eyes warming with concern. "We've been planning for hours."I nodded gratefully, suddenly aware of the gnawing emptiness in my stomach. Between the energy expended during last night's ceremony and this morning's diplomatic meetings, I hadn't taken proper care of my basic needs."Food would be good," I admitted. "I feel like I could eat an entire deer.""Not far off what your body needs," Kane replied, his hand fi

    "And what about the Deltas?" I asked, unable to keep a hard edge from my voice. "You mentioned they misappropriated funds meant for my care.""We've already begun the financial audit," Alpha Maxwell said. "Preliminary findings suggest they received approximately twenty thousand dollars annually for your maintenance and education."I nearly choked. "Twenty thousand? Annually?""For seventeen years," Liam added quietly. "Plus additional funds for special circumstances, medical care, education, clothing."The numbers made me dizzy. All those years of threadbare hand-me-downs, of being told I was a burden, of going to bed hungry... and they'd been paid a small fortune to care for me.

    "Of course, Luna," she said quickly. "I meant no disrespect.""None taken," I said graciously, though Diamond purred with satisfaction at the other she-wolf's retreat.Alpha Maxwell cleared his throat, steering the conversation back to business. "Perhaps we should discuss the territorial adjustments that will be necessary with the combined Maxwell-Blackthorne lands."For the next hour, I listened as the assembled Alphas discussed boundaries, trade routes, and alliance structures. It was fascinating and overwhelming in equal measure. These were decisions that would affect thousands of wolves, and somehow, I was expected to have opinions on all of it.When one Alpha suggested a particular boundary adjustment that would have given away

    A knock at the door interrupted our planning. Alpha Maxwell's voice came through: "If you're awake, there are several pack Alphas waiting to speak with Luna Blackthorne-Maxwell."I exchanged glances with my mates, suddenly aware that I was still in bed, wearing nothing but a silk robe, with four half-dressed men surrounding me."Tell them she'll be ready in an hour," Kane called back, his lips twitching with amusement as he read my thoughts through our bond."One hour," Alpha Maxwell confirmed before his footsteps retreated down the hall."Politics begins," Fin sighed, stretching his long frame. "Everyone wants to establish connections with the miraculous returned heir who channels divine power."
