INKA'S POV "Seven weeks, maybe eight.""Triple mate bond?"The question caught me off guard. "How did you—""Elder Thaddeus told me. He tells me everything." Ruth leaned back slightly. "I'm his second-in-command here. Have been for three years. So where are your mates? Why are you here alone?"The question felt invasive. Almost accusatory."It's complicated.""It always is." Ruth stood. "Come on. We're going to be late for meditation."I followed her back to the main temple where everyone was gathering. Ruth took her place next to Elder Thaddeus at the front. I sat near the back with Sister Claire.During meditation, I kept opening my eyes to look at Ruth. She sat perfectly still. Breathing even and controlled. The picture of someone completely at peace.I couldn't manage thirty seconds without my mind wandering.After meditation, as people dispersed to their rooms, I heard Ruth talking to Elder Thaddeus in low tones near the temple entrance."...another mouth to feed. Another person

INKA'S POV Ruth's face flushed. "I've spent five years building this place. Making it safe. Risking my life in human cities to keep everyone supplied. She's been here three weeks and contributed nothing.""She's been here three weeks and learned to cook meals that feed our community. She's gentle with the children in ways that matter. She attends every meditation even when struggling. She's trying, Ruth.""Trying isn't enough.""It was enough for you when you first arrived. You couldn't contribute for six months. We fed you anyway. Sheltered you anyway. Taught you anyway." Elder Thaddeus's voice was firm. "Or have you forgotten what it was like to be the broken one who needed refuge?"The words landed like a slap.Ruth stood abruptly. "That's not the same. I wasn't—""Pregnant? No. But you were traumatized. Barely functional. A child who needed years of support before you could contribute anything tangible." He stood too, meeting her eyes. "Inka deserves the same patience you receive

ZANE'S POV Hunter's jaw tightened. "We've been helping them.""We didn't know. But yes, every public search we've done has left a trail they can follow." I looked at both of them. "From now on, we go dark. No more asking questions publicly. No more credit card receipts or security footage. We prepare quietly and wait.""Two days," Seth said. "Forty-eight hours and we can track her. What's our plan?""We need wolves we trust," Hunter said. "Ones who'll move when we say, regardless of what Dad authorizes.""Aaron and Blake," I suggested. "They already feel guilty about the Victoria situation.""Reynolds," Seth added. "Best tracker. Loyal to us.""Marcus and his unit," Hunter continued. "They've been waiting for orders."We were building something. Unauthorized. Potentially insubordinate. But necessary."Forty-eight hours," I repeated. "We gather our people quietly. The second scent masking fails, we move. Full team. Track her, secure her, extract her.""What if Dad forbids it?" Seth as

INKA'S POVMy hands wouldn't stop shaking. I stood in front of the small mirror in my room, white robe hanging open, staring at what I could no longer deny.The curve was visible now. Unmistakable. My stomach had gone from slightly rounded to obviously pregnant seemingly overnight.Sister Claire knocked and entered. Stopped when she saw me."It's showing," I said unnecessarily."Werewolf pregnancies progress faster than human ones. Especially for descendants." She came to stand beside me. "How far along are you now?""Eight weeks. Maybe nine.""You'll be showing like Maya within another month. Triple bond babies grow even faster."I pulled the robe closed. Tied it tight even though it didn't hide anything anymore."Everyone's going to know soon," Claire said gently. "You can't hide it much longer.""I know."The morning sickness had gotten worse too. I'd thrown up twice before breakfast. Sister Leah had given me ginger tea and knowing looks."Come on," Claire said. "Ruth's waiting for

INKA'S POV Sister Claire burst into the room. "Inka, get away from the window—"Elder Thaddeus's voice rang through the sanctuary. "Everyone to the main hall. Now."I grabbed my robe and followed Claire. The hallways were chaos—children crying, adults rushing, everyone trying to understand what was happening.Ruth appeared, her face pale. "There are at least ten wolves surrounding the perimeter. They haven't crossed the wards yet, but—""But they know someone's here," Elder Thaddeus finished. His expression was grim. "Everyone stay calm. The wards will hold. They cannot enter without permission.""Who are they?" Sister Leah asked, pulling the younger children close.I knew. Even before I felt the mate bond surge in my chest like a rope pulling tight."They're here for me," I said quietly.Everyone turned to look at me."Your mates," Ruth said. It wasn't a question."Yes."Another howl. Closer. Then a voice I'd recognize anywhere."INKA!"Hunter's voice. Raw. Desperate. Calling my nam
