Rejected and Pregnant with Alpha Twins Chapter One Hundred and Twelve
~Selene's POV~The day after is ordinary.This is what she expected and this is what she gets, which is itself the confirmation of something. She comes downstairs in the morning and he is in the kitchen with his coffee and he says good morning and she says good morning and he asks if she knows whether Mrs. Gale ordered the specific cereal Lior has developed a strong preference for, the one with the small pieces he can manage without assistance, because he noticed the box was running low yesterday. She tells him it is in the pantry, second shelf, behind the larger box of oats. He goes and finds it and comes back and that is the whole of the morning's first exchange.He does not look at her differently.She checks for this without making a project of checking. The particular quality of his attention in the kitchen and at breakfast and in the brief exchange they have in the corridor outside his study at midmorning when she is coming from the east wing and he is heading to a call with Rhy
Rejected and Pregnant with Alpha Twins Chapter One Hundred and Eleven
~Selene's POV~She knows what she is going to do before she leaves her suite.This is important to her. She has thought about it enough times in the three days since the sitting room, since she reached for his hand and he let her hold it and neither of them spoke, to be certain that what she is moving toward tonight is a decision and not a momentum. There is a difference and she knows the difference and she has taken the three days to be sure. She is sure. She changes into clean clothes, not for any particular reason, simply because she has been in the east wing since afternoon and the east wing at this stage of Lior's development involves a level of contact with various surfaces that makes changing clothes a reasonable end-of-day practice. She brushes her hair. She looks at herself in the mirror for a moment, not performing anything, simply checking that the person in the mirror and the person making this decision are the same person and both are clear on what the decision is.They a

~Selene's POV~She wakes with the clarity already there.This is unusual. Most mornings she surfaces gradually, the first few seconds a neutral space before the day's contents arrive in whatever order they choose to arrive. The twins, the schedule, whatever is sitting unresolved from the night before. The clarity does not usually come first. This morning it does, before she has fully opened her eyes, before she has registered the quality of the light coming under the curtain or the sounds of the manor below her or anything else that confirms she is awake and the night is over.She lies still.The room is cold at the edges the way it always is at this hour, the heating not yet running at full capacity, the stone of the manor holding the night's temperature in the walls and releasing it slowly into the morning. She is warm under the quilt. Outside she can hear the pines, the low sound of them in what must be an early wind, and below that, nothing yet from the east wing, which means Lior
Rejected and Pregnant with Alpha Twins Chapter One Hundred and Nine
~Caden's POV~He noticed the fire needed wood at around nine forty-five.He did not get up.This is not a passive decision. He has been making active decisions all evening, each one small enough that it would not register from the outside as a decision at all, but each one requiring a specific and deliberate choice about what belongs to him in this room tonight and what does not. The fire needing wood belongs to him. The question of whether to cross the room and attend to it is where the decision begins, because crossing the room is a movement, and a movement in a room where she is thinking something through is a variable he has no business introducing unless it is necessary.It is not necessary. The room is warm enough.He stays where he is.The evening has gone in a direction he did not anticipate and did not engineer, which is the only direction it was ever going to go in that he would trust. He has learned, in the months since Silvermere, that engineering outcomes with Selene prod
Rejected and Pregnant with Alpha Twins Chapter One Hundred and Eight
~Selene's POV~The conversation starts the way most of their evenings start now.Miriam goes to bed at half past nine, which is her habit and has been since Silvermere, where late nights did not suit the rhythm of two infants and the particular exhaustion of a woman in her fifties who has been someone's anchor through a year that required more anchoring than most years do. She says goodnight to both of them from the doorway of the main sitting room, where Selene and Caden are at either end of the long sofa with the fire going and two glasses on the low table, and her goodnight carries no commentary, which is itself the commentary. The door closes behind her.The fire is well built at this point. The evening has been going since seven, when Selene came downstairs after the twins' bedtime to find him already in the sitting room with the fire lit and nothing in particular planned, which is the version of an evening she has come to find most reliable. No agenda. No subject arranged in adv
Rejected and Pregnant with Alpha Twins Chapter One Hundred and Seven
~Selene's POV~The first negotiation is the corridor.There are two ways to reach the east wing from the main staircase. The shorter route runs past his study and the library and requires passing the door to his office in the mornings when he is on early calls, which means foot traffic in both directions at the same time, which means a corridor that is not quite wide enough for two people and whatever Lior has decided to carry from one end of it to the other. The longer route adds forty seconds and goes around the back of the main staircase past the linen closet and the small bathroom, but it keeps the east wing foot traffic separate from the ground floor work traffic, and after two mornings of the shorter route she tells Mrs. Gale they will use the longer one going forward.Mrs. Gale notes it without comment and adjusts the runner rug at the back staircase corner so the edge does not catch the wheel of the twins' chair.This is how the first week goes. Not in large decisions but in t

~Selene’s POV~"Congratulations, Luna Ashford. You're going to be a mother."Dr. Priya Noel's voice is still ringing in my ears as I step out of the private clinic and into the pale afternoon light.I stop on the pavement, pressing one hand flat against the cold stone wall to steady myself, the oth

~Caden’s POV~Four months.Four months since she walked out of this building and I have done nothing but work, manage, control, and refuse to think about the precise way she looked when the bond broke — the colour that left her face, the sound she didn't quite manage to suppress.I spin my phone sl

~Selene’s POV~The rejection is scheduled for nine o'clock.I know because Caden's message at six in the morning is clinical and precise, as if he is confirming a conference call.Pack Hall, third floor, nine a.m. Come alone.My mother reads the message over my shoulder and says nothing. She presse

~Selene’s POV~I hang up.I don't think about it — my thumb simply moves and the call ends and I stand on the pavement outside the flower stall with my heart hammering so loud I can hear it in my temples.Three seconds later, she calls again.I watch the screen. Let it ring. Let it ring. Let it rin
