Lewana POVI'm giggling about Cordelia as I head to the medical center. I know Conrad will be in a great mood today if he doesn't have to spend time with her. Not sure what he will do with his time but I have data to review. Even though the rogue attack was terrible, my treatment worked. I knew it would in theory and I have tested it on myself but now I have mini-test groups for two medications that could save lives. I go check on all the soldiers and they are very grateful to be feeling better this morning. All their wolves are alert and talking but still weak so will need more chelation therapy to clear the silver but the wolfsbane antibodies worked really well. I check all their blood work, and mine, before I start analyzing data from them. It is fascinating how quickly their blood levels are dropping. I notice mine is still a bit elevated so I get an IV pole, cannulate myself, and start another course while working. I am going through my today's list and realize another one of
Conrad POVMy girl fights the tiredness and puts on a stoic face for the rest of the day, but I can tell she is exhausted. She is thinking hard about responses and scrunching her face as she tries to think. She insists on going to check the soldiers who were positioned this morning and she is slowing down even more now. “Ok. I eerrmm …… need to confirm orders for overnight”.I look over at Arthur and the head medic who look as concerned for her as I do. I turn to look at them. “You both know what needs to be done tonight”. They both nod so I turn to Lewana. “Look like you can go to bed then”.“I just need to check a few things. Where…. where are the errrrmmm ….. charts”. I can see Arthur is very worried and not sure what to do. He knows his daughter needs to sleep but his Alpha wants to work. I walk up beside her, “Sorry moonlight, but you need to sleep”.I send a strong calming aura through her and she passes out instantly in my arms. “I think I get why you use it on her now. Sh
Lewana POV I just stare at Valerie shocked. What was so funny. When she regained her composure she started asking me questions. "Is that seriously what you are worried about. Packs not accepting you". "No. It's wars starting because of me. Wolves suffering because of me". "Then trust me you have nothing to worry about". She's stating this as if it is obvious. I look at her perplexed. "How can you be so sure". Her nervous eyes suddenly dart to Conrad. "For me to prove this to Lady Lewana, I will need assurance from yourself Alpha King that no charges will be laid against me". Conrad starts to growl and holds his hand to comfort him. "What have you done". "Nothing that violates the Werewolf Rights act. There may be some questionable activities but not one was harmed". Conrad looks at Liam and I can see they are discussing something on the mind-link. Conrad huffs. "Fine. Anything else you need before you tell us"."Yes actually. You can get your hacker to stay away from my net
Conrad POVI stare daggers into Valerie for interrupting me while Cordelia stands as defiant as ever. That bitch needs to suffer for everything that she has done. Why would Valerie even waste her breath trying to save her? Lady Valerie stands with her hands towards both of us and then turns to Cordelia. “Apologies for interrupting but my date with Alpha King is scheduled for tomorrow. Unfortunately, I have another commitment. I know that, as per the rules of the ceremony, times cannot be changed unless the Alpha King himself is incapacitated, but they can be swapped. I am sure you have prepared a wonderful spread as usual so why not enjoy that with your father and I will have my date with Alpha King now. That way he is well rested and in a better mood for your date with him tomorrow”.Cordelia thinks about it a huff. “Well, it’s not like you were going to win anyway. You can have it here and I will see you tomorrow handsome”. She blows me a kiss and I shudder at the thought. I turn
Conrad POV“LEWANA NO”.I hold my girl. The girl who just took two fatal poison darts for me, trying to hold in her screams as she fights the poison. She has blocked the bond so I don’t feel her pain but Jace is desperately trying to break through to take the pain for her. I stroke her face trying to comfort her while Liam looks on in horror over my shoulder. “It’s OK baby, I’m here”.Through gritted teeth, she starts trying to talk. “Lab”.I pause. “What do you mean”.“Everyone. Medical. Lab. Now”.Liam understood the order and started taking charge. “Pick up every soldier shot with a dart and get them to the medical center. NOW”.Liam knows I’m not letting go of Lewana so I pick her up and get in the truck cradling her gently to my chest while challenging death to fight me for her.Liam puts soldiers in charge to secure the borders and starts mind-linking the medics to get ready. In total 15 were shot with the darts, including my girl. The trucks roll up to the medical center and
Lewana POV I woke up the next morning alone in my room. I slept awfully as Serena kept me up with questions. Debating whether it was time to show Conrad. Whether we were ready or could show everyone. I head down to the kitchen to see Conrad staring at coffee while stirring it mindlessly. He looks up at me and smiles before tapping the bench next to him. “How was your night Moonlight”.“OK”.“You’re still an awful liar”. He looks at me for a minute and whispers, “Can I say good morning to Serena too”.She huffs in my head so I reply to Conrad. “She says no”.He gets a sly smile on his face. “OK. Shame as I was thinking more about who had the prettiest eyes last night and I don’t want to say Lewana just because I can’t see Serena's but I might have to”. Serena surges forward putting her eyes on full display. I know exactly what Conrad is doing as he has worked out she's so dam vain. It’s fitting though as she knows she is gorgeous.“Wow. They are beautiful. Would you mind if Jace sh
