My Alpha Boss Gave Me Triplets ā Episode 75
The archive alarm had failed because the intruder used an original Stonehearth access code. Only four living elders knew it, and three appeared on security footage elsewhere during the theft.
The fourth was Councilor Voss, the loudest opponent of the parental charter. He had disappeared after Darleenās sentencing, leaving his phone and official vehicle behind.
Leopold prepared to join the search. Evie reminded him that Voss wanted an Alpha chasing sacred objects while the recovering mother remained hidden with the children. The old pattern survived through performance as much as law.
Max led the operation instead. Human police handled the warrant, neutral specialists tracked the tokensā magical trace, and Blackhartās new council shared border cameras without demanding concessions.
Voss had not crossed the border. He entered Stonehearth Designās original headquarters, a building scheduled for renovation after investigators cleared Darleenās offices.
Evie recognized the location from a photograph of Mara Vale. The oldest portion of the company stood over the workshop where Mara developed her refuge plans.
Through the bond, Hope began to cry whenever the search team approached the central drafting room. Evie could not tell whether her daughter sensed the tokens or merely reacted to her motherās tension.
She refused to turn the infant into a tracking instrument. Max muted the live feed, and the team continued using ordinary evidence.
Dust on a service stair revealed recent footprints. Police found Voss below the drafting room with the wooden tokens arranged around the cracked foundation seal.
He claimed he was protecting Stonehearth. Without the curse, he believed rival packs would challenge a weakened Alpha and mixed-blood children would inherit power they could not control.
Voss intended to wake an older succession ward, force the triplets into the pack line, and restore the authority Leopold had surrendered. He called coercion continuity.
The ritual would not activate. Maraās tokens held memories, not obedience, and the broken curse no longer supplied power. Voss had stolen three pieces of wood and surrounded himself with symbols that refused to agree with him.
Max arrested him without a fight. The neutral archivist recovered the tokens and placed each in a separate protective case for examination.
During questioning, Voss revealed that several elders maintained private oaths beneath the company headquarters. They had influenced hiring, promotions, and contracts to keep human designers dependent while copying their work.
The revelation connected pack tradition to the discrimination Evie experienced from her first day. Francescaās cruelty had flourished inside a system built long before she arrived.
Leopold ordered an independent employment audit and surrendered his own records for review. He could punish Voss, but reform required examining the decisions he had personally made when arrogance felt ordinary.
Evie agreed to advise the audit after maternity leave. She would not return early simply because the company finally recognized a problem she had survived.
The tokens came back to the residence temporarily. When Evie held them near the triplets, each baby responded to a different carved animal.
Mira quieted beside the owl, Rowan reached toward the wolf, and Hope opened her eyes at the small fox. No ward activated. They were children choosing what interested them.
Then the fox token split along an invisible seam, revealing a folded fragment of Maraās final design.
