<h4>Chapter 699: Back Home</h4>


    The Alphas and the warriors finally reached the mansion. The grounds were bustling with activity. Staff members were rushing around, but luckily, most were unharmed. Aside from a few scratches on those who had been near the training yard when the explosion went off, the pack had survived. Workers were already clearing the debris from the st site, their spirits high despite the damage.


    ?As Lennox, Levi, and Louis stepped into the courtyard, a cheer went up. The warriors were weed back like the heroes they were. From the safety of her father’s arms, Scarlett looked around with wide eyes. Everything here was so different from the rogue camp. The air was clean, the people looked healthy and fed, and there was a sense of happiness she had never known.


    ?The mansion doors flew open, and Olivia stepped out. She looked tired, but when she saw her three Alphas, her face lit up. She rushed to them, and they met her halfway, each taking a turn to hold her and kiss her deeply, thankful to be together again.


    ?Suddenly, the triplets burst out of the house. Even though they were only eight, they walked with a maturity and strength inherited from their fathers. They rushed toward Lennox, Levi, and Louis, shouting, "Wee back!" as they crashed into their fathers’ legs for a massive group hug.


    ?But as the excitement settled, Liam—the oldest of the three—noticed someone new. He looked up and saw the girl in Zane’s arms. She looked weak and pale, but her eyes were like stars. She was perhaps two years younger than him, but the moment their eyes met, Liam’s heart skipped a beat. He was too young to understand what it meant, but a strange, protective warmth suddenly flooded his chest. He couldn’t stop staring.


    ?Leo’s attention was drawn next. He froze midugh, his eyes going wide. He felt a weird thud in his chest that made him feel breathless. To him, she was the most beautiful thing he had ever seen, even with the dirt on her face.


    ?Leon, usually the most stoic and quiet of the brothers, looked upst. He swallowed hard, his hands tightening into small fists at his sides. He felt a pull toward her that he couldn’t exin.


    ?Zane noticed the three young princes staring at his daughter. He held her a little tighter, feeling the intense gaze of the future Alphas.


    ?Olivia walked over, sensing the shift in the air. She looked at Scarlett and then at her three sons, who were all standing like statues, unable to look away from the little girl. A soft smile touched Olivia’s lips—it was obvious her sons would be great friends with Scarlett. She knew that look; that was the same look the triplets typically gave her when they were younger.


    ?Olivia stepped closer, her eyes softening as theynded on the fragile girl. "I believe this is your family, Zane?" she asked, her voice like a soothing melody.


    ?Zane nodded, his arms tightening slightly around his daughter. "Yes, Luna. My wife, Emma, and my daughter, Scarlett."


    ?Olivia’s gaze sharpened as she looked at Scarlett. Being a powerful healer, she didn’t need a medical kit to know the girl was in trouble. She could perceive the dimming light in the girl’s soul, like a flickering candle in a dark room.


    ?"She’s so weak," Olivia whispered, reaching out to brush a stray hair from Scarlett’s forehead. "Zane, what happened to her?"


    ?Zane’s voice broke as he exined the Rogue King’s cruelty—the month of neglect, theck of medicine, and how the King had used the girl’s illness to keep him a prisoner.


    ?As Zane spoke, a strange wave of pain hit the triplets. It was as if they could feel Scarlett’s exhaustion in their own bodies. Liam, usually soposed, turned to Olivia with a look of pure desperation.


    ?"Mom," Liam pleaded, his voice cracking. "Could you please heal her? Now? Please?"


    ?Olivia blinked in surprise. She had seen her sons be kind before, but this was different. This was an urgent, primal need to protect. The speed of their attachment was shocking.


    ?Liam didn’t wait for an answer. He turned back to Scarlett and gave her a small, reassuring smile. It was the smile of a future King promising safety. Scarlett, despite her pain, blinked back at him, her tiny fingers curling into her father’s shirt.


    ?"Don’t worry," Leon added, his voice deep and steady for an eight-year-old. "Our mom is the greatest healer in the world. She can fix anything."


    ?"Yeah," Leo chimed in, his usual yful energy reced by a fierce seriousness. "You’re in the Full Moon Pack now. Nobody can hurt you here."


    ?Zane watched the three boys with a growing sense of unease. He knew something strange was happening. These weren’t just curious kids; they were three Alphas-in-training staking a im on his daughter’s safety.


    ?Olivia saw the confusion on Zane’s face and stepped in to ease the tension. She called for Sarah, one of the head maids. "Sarah, please take Zane and his family to the East Wing guest suite. Make sure it’s warm and bring the best broth from the kitchen."


    ?She turned to Zane. "Get her settled. I need to wash the soot from my hands and gather my strength, then I wille and check on her personally."


    ?"Let’s follow them!" Liam suddenly announced. "We need to make sure they get to the right room and that they’re settled in."


    ?"Yeah, we’reing too," Leo and Leon agreed in unison.


    ?Before Olivia could even protest, the three boys were already walking alongside Zane, acting like a royal escort for the little girl.


    ?Behind them, the four-year-old twins, their sisters, watched their big brothers with confused, furrowed brows. They had never seen their brothers ignore them like this.


    ?"Why are they acting so weird?" Lana whispered, clutching her doll.


    ?"I don’t know," Lyra replied, tilting her head. "They’re acting like that girl is a treasure."


    ?The twins shared a look and decided to follow the parade, curious to see what was so special about the pale girl.


    ?Olivia watched the long, strange parade of her three sons, her two daughters, and the rogue family head toward the East Wing. It was a sight she never thought she’d see—the future heirs of the Trinity acting like a protective wall around a girl they had just met.


    ?She turned back to Lennox, Levi, and Louis, and a yful giggle escaped her lips. The three Alphas were still standing there, soot-stained and exhausted, but they were also wearing identical expressions ofplete bewilderment.


    ?"What was that?" Louis asked, rubbing the back of his neck. "I’ve never seen Leon move that fast for anyone but you, Olivia."


    ?"It’s in the blood, I think," Olivia teased, leaning into Lennox’s chest. "Liam is behaving exactly like you, Lennox—allmanding and protective. And Leon? He’s got that quiet, intense focus that Louis has. As for Leo, he’s got Levi’s heart. They aren’t just curious; they’re already iming her."


    ?Lennox chuckled, though his face soon turned serious. He reached out, pulling Olivia into a more private space near the fountain. "Olivia, we’re sorry," he said softly, his brothers stepping closer to show their support. "We brought rogues into the heart of the mansion without talking to you first. We know how much we’ve struggled with rogues in the past."


    ?"I saw the way you looked at that child, Lennox," Olivia replied, her voice gentle. "I’m not angry. I felt the pull toward her too."


    ?"There’s more," Levi added, his voice dropping to a whisper. "Zane—the father—told us that Scarlett is the reason we’re even alive. He was too afraid to act, but she pushed him. She told him she had a vision of a ’Lady of Fire.’ She saw the whole fight before it happened."


    ?Olivia’s eyes widened, her healer’s intuition clicking into ce. "So she has the gift of vision. That exins the light I saw in her soul. It’s a heavy burden for such a small girl."


    ?"We did the right thing, right?" Louis asked, seeking her approval.


    ?"You did," Olivia confirmed, nodding firmly. "She is special, and she is a hero. We protect our own, and after today, she is one of ours."


    ?Lennox sighed, the weight of the day finally catching up to him. "I’ve already ordered guards to monitor the other nine rogues we brought back. They’ll stay in the secondary barracks until we’re sure they can be trusted. Zane and his family are the only ones in the mansion."


    ?Olivia noted the flicker of shadow in Lennox’s eyes. "And what about your father, Lennox? Was he in the camp?"


    ?Lennox’s jaw tightened, a low growl vibrating in his throat. "He was there. He was the one pulling the strings behind the Rogue King. But the coward escaped before the fire could catch him. He’s out there somewhere, Olivia. We’ve sent trackers, but he’s like a ghost."


    ?"He won’t stop," Olivia whispered, looking toward the East Wing where her children were.


    ?"Neither will we," Lennox promised, his eyes shing gold. "But for tonight, the war is outside these walls. Let’s get you cleaned up, and then you can go see that girl. Our sons won’t let her sleep until they know she’s okay."
