My Alpha Boss Gave Me Triplets – Episode 77
Backup lights activated within seconds. Leopold rose from the floor while Evie checked each bassinet. All three babies remained asleep, unimpressed by the darkness that sent guards racing through the residence.
The outage affected the entire district. Construction damage had cut a municipal line, and the residence generators carried the load exactly as designed. There was no attacker, curse, or final loyalist waiting in the halls.
Months of danger had trained everyone to imagine intent behind every failure. Evie asked Max to stand down the tactical response and send technicians where they could help restore power to neighboring homes.
Leopold looked at the ring still in his hand. “This may not be the atmosphere I planned.”
Evie sat on the nursery rug beneath the emergency lights. “If you need perfect conditions, you have learned nothing about our life.”
He knelt again. He did not invoke destiny, the bond, the triplets, or her recovered ancestry. He told her that loving her had forced him to see how often he mistook certainty for strength.
He asked her to marry him as Leopold, not as Alpha, and promised that a refusal would change neither her home nor his commitment to their children.
Evie made him wait long enough to understand that the answer belonged to her. Then she said yes.
She set conditions before returning the ring to her finger. There would be no automatic Luna title, no mating bite performed for tradition, and no wedding owned by either family or pack.
Leopold accepted. He asked for one condition of his own: whenever he slipped back into giving orders instead of asking, she would tell him before resentment became silence.
Evie agreed, provided he understood she would not always tell him gently.
The district lights returned as they kissed. Max entered moments later, saw Leopold kneeling, and backed out so quickly that he struck the doorframe.
By breakfast, the engagement remained private. Evie wanted one day in which the decision belonged only to the two of them.
They spent it completing ordinary paperwork: insurance for the babies, medical appointments, the land trust, and parental leave for Leopold. Stonehearth’s board had never imagined an Alpha taking time away to care for newborns.
The board approved it after Leopold pointed out that refusing would violate the family protections their company publicly claimed to support.
Max became acting executive and immediately sent Leopold a schedule limiting business calls. Evie approved of the promotion and the revenge.
That afternoon, the independent employment audit issued its preliminary findings. Dozens of human employees had been underpaid or denied credit, and several current managers participated.
Leopold authorized restitution and disciplinary review, including scrutiny of his own conduct toward Evie after their first night. He did not exclude himself from the system he was trying to change.
Evie asked that the recovered designs be credited publicly before the company announced her engagement to its Alpha. Her professional name would not become a romantic footnote.
When the corrected archive went online, one file produced an unexpected match. A living relative of Mara Vale had submitted proof of descent—and claimed Evie had no right to use Mara’s legacy.
