Tony sent the messages before noon. Not softened. Not dressed up. Not polite enough to be mistaken for weakness. Exactly as Decker ordered. Clear. Cold. Final.

Dark Mountain’s old agreements under Gregory were suspended pending Alpha review. All war-related promises tied to Edgewater Falls were void unless confirmed by Decker himself. Any pack connected to attacks on Dark Mountain’s Luna, borders, or command structure would be treated as hostile. No negotiation with hostile packs.

    131 For the first month, the pregnancy had been easy to hide. Loose sweaters. Heavy jackets. A careful choice of clothing. Most wolves already suspected, but there was still enough uncertainty to keep anyone from saying anything publicly. By the second month… That became impossible. Werewolf pregnancies moved much faster than human ones. Five to six months from conception to birth. Twins moved even faster. Lotty stood in front of the bedroom mirror one morning, turning slightly to the side. Her hands rested naturally beneath the small curve of her stomach. There was no denying it anymore. She was showing. Not dramatically. But enough that every wolf in Dark Mountain would recognize exactly what it meant. She smiled softly. "Our boys." Behind her, Decker looked up from the chair where he was pulling on his boots. He crossed the room without saying a word. His hands settled gently over hers. "Our sons are making themselves known." She leaned back against his chest. "I think it's t

    130 By the time the Alphas left the regional retreat, the place no longer belonged to the council. Not really. A consolidated guard force remained behind. Warriors from every pack, working in rotating teams to watch over the council members, guard Elara, and protect the archives while every hidden record was copied, cataloged, and reviewed. No single pack controlled the evidence. That had been the final decision before departure. No more secrets held by one set of hands. No more sealed rooms. No more history buried where only the powerful could reach it. The ride back to Dark Mountain was quiet. Lotty leaned against Decker’s side, one hand resting over her stomach. Their sons. She still wasn’t used to thinking that. Sons. Two boys. Decker had barely let her out of arm’s reach since Alden told them. At first, she thought it was sweet. By the time they reached Dark Mountain territory, it was becoming a problem. “You know I can walk from the car to the packhouse,” she murmured when

    129 By morning, the summit no longer felt like a summit. It felt like the beginning of a trial. The Alphas gathered once more in the central hall, but the mood had changed. The old regional council members sat along the far wall under guard, not at the front of the room where they had once belonged. Their robes looked less official now. Less powerful. More like costumes. The prophecy pages sat copied and sealed in folders before every Alpha.The evidence of council manipulation sat beside them. No one could pretend anymore. Morgan was the first to speak. “The regional council cannot continue as it is.” No one looked surprised. Even Rasmus, seated with the remaining council members, closed his eyes as if he had expected the sentence. Malric leaned back in his chair. “You want to dissolve it.” Morgan’s gaze moved calmly to him. “I want to replace what has failed.” Calder gave a dry laugh. “Pretty words for the same thing.” “Then let me be clear,” Morgan said. “Yes. The current r

    128 The evening meal ended much differently than anyone would have expected when the summit first began. No shouting. No accusations. No threats of war. No council records slammed onto tables. Just tired wolves who had spent days uncovering secrets that stretched back decades. For one evening, the Alphas agreed to stop digging. The archives would still be there in the morning. The council would still be fracturing. Elara would still be under guard. The prophecy would still exist. Tonight, they needed a few hours to breathe. So the Alphas drifted toward the retreat's study while the Lunas disappeared into the moonlit gardens. Decker watched Lotty leave with Selene, Rowan's Luna, and several others. The sight still surprised him. A few months ago, Lotty had been an outsider to most of these wolves. Now the Lunas naturally gathered around her. Not because of the prophecy. Not because of the twins. Because they genuinely liked her. The thought settled warmly somewhere inside him. Un

    127 Alden waited until the meeting finally broke apart. The Alphas had questions. Dozens of them. Morgan wanted details about the prophecy. Matthew wanted sources. Tony wanted proof. Jacob wanted names. Helena wanted timelines. But Alden answered very few. Instead, he stood slowly from his chair, leaned on his walking stick, and looked directly at Decker. "I would like to speak with you and your mate. Alone." The room immediately grew suspicious. Decker's eyes narrowed. "No." Several wolves looked surprised by how quickly the answer came. Alden merely smiled. "I expected that." Lotty sighed. "Decker." "No." "Decker." The old Seer actually looked amused. "You are going to hear that word often in your future, Alpha." A few wolves hid smiles. Decker did not. "What information?" Alden's expression became serious. "Information intended specifically for the parents." That got everyone's attention. Especially Lotty's. Alden's gaze drifted toward her stomach. "I have waited a long

    126 The summit had changed. What had begun as a meeting to expose old agreements and hidden betrayals had become something much larger. The regional council was cracking. Not publicly. Not yet. But the fractures were there for anyone paying attention.Council members who had stood united two days ago now argued behind closed doors. Some demanded full transparency. Others wanted the archives sealed again. Several quietly denied knowing anything about the prophecy. A few were already discussing resignation. And somewhere among them, a wounded councilwoman named Elara sat under guard while the foundations of everything she had spent her life protecting slowly crumbled around her. The old order was breaking. Everyone could feel it. No one knew what would replace it. The Alphas had gathered once more in the main conference chamber. Not for a formal session. Just discussion. Trying to make sense of everything. Trying to fit together pieces that refused to cooperate. The completed proph

    69 The celebration began the moment the ceremony ended. Not politely. Not gradually. One heartbeat the great hall still held the solemn weight of vows and witness and howling pack voices echoing against stone and the next, Dark Mountain came alive. The doors were opened wide, and wolves poured in

    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
