Clara nodded, her expression softening as she continued her examination. "Three distinct energies, Luna. You're carrying triplets."

The room spun around me, and if I hadn't already been sitting, I might have collapsed. Triplets. Three babies are growing inside me. Diamond's protective presence surged despite her exhaustion, wrapping more tightly around the precious lives we carried.

"Three?" Kane repeated, his normally composed voice cracking slightly.

"Yes," Clara confirmed, her hands still resting gently on my abdomen. "Strong, healthy energies, all of them. Though," she added with a pointed look at me, "they need their mother to rest and recover after today's exertions."

I nodded numbly, still trying to process this revelation. One child had seemed miraculous enough, but three felt impossible, overwhelming. My head began to swim at the knowledge. I looked up at my mates, seeing my own shock mirrored in their expressions.

"Is this... normal?" Fin asked, his voice cracking as his analytical mind already worked through the implications. "For a Luna with multiple mates?"

Clara shook her head. "Not common, but not unprecedented either. The last recorded case of triplets in a multi-mated Luna was nearly eighty years ago." She fixed me with a stern look. "It means you'll need extra care, extra nutrition, and absolutely no more spiritual projections until after they're born."

"Triplets," Brent whispered, looking dazed. Then a slow grin spread across his face. "Three little pups."

Liam moved closer, his scholarly expression giving way to wonder as he placed his hand next to Clara's on my stomach. "The goddess truly has blessed us."

I felt tears welling in my eyes, a complex mixture of joy, fear, and exhaustion overwhelming me. Three babies. I was barely eighteen, had only just discovered my true identity months ago, and now I would be a mother to three children.

"You're not alone in this," Kane said softly, reading my expression with the uncanny perception he always showed. "We're all here. All five of us will raise them together."

I nodded, blinking back tears. Of course we would. These children would have four fathers who would adore, protect, and teach them. They would have a family unlike any other, but full of love.

"I need to tell Lucious," I said, my voice steadier than I expected. "He should know he's going to be an uncle to three."

"After you rest," Clara insisted, helping me lie back on the examination table. "I want to monitor you for a few hours to make sure your energy levels stabilise. Spiritual projection is taxing enough on its own; combined with a multiple pregnancy, it's a wonder you're conscious at all."

I didn't have the strength to argue. Diamond's presence was flickering like a candle's flame. “How come no one could tell before?”
"I think it's because they're still so small," Clara explained, her tone gentler now. "And with Diamond's energy acting as a protective shield around them, it was difficult to distinguish individual auras until now. The spiritual projection actually helped in that regard; the energy expenditure made the separate life forces more distinct."

I tried to absorb this information, but exhaustion was pulling at me relentlessly. Three babies. Three little lives depending on me. The responsibility felt overwhelming, yet at the same time, a fierce protective instinct welled up within me, stronger than anything I'd ever experienced.

"Rest now, love," Kane murmured, brushing hair from my forehead. "We'll be right here."

I must have fallen asleep almost immediately, because the next thing I knew, sunlight was streaming through the windows of a different room, our bedroom in the Maxwell mansion. I blinked, disoriented, trying to piece together how I'd gotten here.

"Welcome back," Fin said from a chair beside the bed, setting aside the book he'd been reading. "You've been asleep for almost eighteen hours."

"Eighteen hours?" I tried to sit up, alarmed, but my body still felt unusually heavy.

"Easy," he cautioned, helping me adjust the pillows behind my back. "Clara said you might sleep for a full day. Your body needed time to recover."

As awareness returned fully, memories of everything that had happened flooded back: the spiritual projection, the disruption of the ritual at Moonstone, and the learning about the triplets. Diamond stirred within me, her presence stronger than before, though still subdued, like someone recuperating from a major illness.

"How's Lucious?" I asked, accepting the glass of water Fin offered.

"Awake and recovering well. He's been asking about you." Fin's green eyes studied me carefully. "How do you feel?"

I took inventory of my body, surprised to find that most of the bone-deep exhaustion had receded. "Better. Still tired, but... functional." My hand moved instinctively to my stomach. "They're really okay? All three of them?"

A smile softened Fin's analytical features. "Clara checked on you several times while you slept. They're perfectly fine, resilient, like their mother."

Relief washed through me. "And the others? The operation?"

"Successful beyond our expectations," he assured me. "All three facilities have been neutralised, captives freed and are receiving care. The Northern Alliance's leadership structure has been decimated."

"But not completely destroyed," I guessed, reading between the lines of his careful phrasing.

Fin sighed, never one to sugarcoat the truth. "No. We believe some high-ranking members escaped during the chaos. And there are still followers scattered throughout various pack territories."

I nodded, having expected as much. An organisation centuries in the making wouldn't be dismantled in a single day, no matter how successful our operation.

"And the entity?" I asked.
