Chapter: Chapter 20Conrad POV I carried my precious girl fast asleep in my arms to her room. I placed her gently down on the bed and cover her in blanket making sure she is warm and comfortable.She has made it to the final day. That’s all I asked of her. I said if she could do that, I would let her go. However, that I had held her in my arms, I knew I couldn’t. How can I get her to stay with me? I gave her a kiss on the head lingering just long enough to smell her intoxicating scent that reminded me of a pine forest after the rain. Calming and pure.I couldn’t stay long though. I turned and headed downstairs as I had work to do. The medics had already been mind-linked to check on Liam and he was OK. A lot of bruising but nothing broken. No training and a few days of light duties and he will be fine. The three ladies were in tears when I arrived in my study. They were clearly worried for their friend. Liam was doing his best to comfort them, but they wanted answers. Now that I know what happened,

Chapter: Chapter 19Liam POV We all woke up for breakfast pretty early. The reunion for Eve and her mother had been emotional, so I doubt most of us slept. Conrad and I quickly did the math last night and if she left at about 13 and was in the dungeon for 5 years, it means she was put down there at 8. Who the hell puts a pup in a dungeon. It keeps getting worse the more I learn about this poor wolf. No wonder she hates our kind. Her own kind. Eve wanted to go and see her mother again this morning but we needed her to eat first. We spoke to the pack members looking after her and they admitted they were struggling as she has such a high care need but didn’t want to upset Conrad by admitting it. Conrad mind-linked the medics to check on her and noticed she wasn’t healing well, had some new bed sores, and hadn’t really gained any weight. It was decided she should be moved to the pack house and have round-the-clock care by the medic team. “Eve slow down. You’re going to choke”, Kimberly said in her frus

Chapter: Chapter 18Conrad POVJace is growling furiously inside me while I try to contain him. “That bastard better get his hands off our mate if he wants to keep them”. He’s not wrong. When he moved her to shield her from us, I just about lost control until Liam jabbed me in the ribs and reminded me where I was. Arthur looks at Eve and I can tell there is bad news coming. “There something I need to tell you. The royal soilders found her during the raid”. Her face quickly went pale, and she froze as she got a look of pure determination in her eyes. “Where is she?”. “The small pack house on the eastern edge of the compound. The one with the red door”. She spun around and took off running. I immediately took off after her. Even at full pelt, I could barely keep up.I could see Liam follow with the ladies in a golf cart behind us. We use them to get around the pack as they run on batteries, meaning no pollution. They are also convenient for our older wolves to get around the territory.She slowed dow

Chapter: Chapter 17We continued the tour to the library next. Mish had warned me to do it last, as Willow is unlikely to leave voluntarily. We walk into the grand room, with half-empty bookshelves and books placed randomly. Most are still in boxes or just randomly on tables. All the artefacts are crammed onto the table, with some very close to the edge.Willow looks like she is about to faint. “THIS IS AWFUL. WHY IS IT SO MESSY AND UNORGANISED?”.I didn’t think she could get this mad. “All this stuff has been collected as we want to show the history of our kind and introduce it to others. Unfortunately, none of us has any idea of how to do that, so we’re just winging it really”.“WINGING IT. THESE ARE PRICELESS ARTEFACTS AND BOOKS THAT SHOULD BE CARED FOR. WHERE IS THE TEAM DOING THIS?”.“Errmm. That’s this other issue. As we have been rejected by the human world, no wolves go to mainstream school because our pups are viewed as acting out and disruptive. After all, they struggle being inside and still.

Chapter: Chapter 16 Liam POVEve is having so much fun. She’s flipping over them with ease and getting in attack after attack, with each battle ending the same way. The soldier are leaving with their tail between their legs each time. They are starting to get concerned and take this more seriously after the first few lost in less than a minute.She looks over at me, smiling.“If I battle more than one at a time and they win, could they split the money?”.I just smile back. “Sure, they could”.This spurs on another round but she just uses this to knock them off balance and send them flying into one another. She’s smiling about it. I look up and Conrad and he is enjoying the show as well.The girls are on the viewing platform and have formed some sort of cheerleading squad, yelling at every victory.After about 30 minutes of this, and after there are no more challengers, I call it. Eve is the winner. When asked what she will spend the money on, she says she doesn’t want it. I’m just glad she is finally hav

Chapter: Chapter 15 Conrad POVOnce we got confirmation from the ladies that she had actually eaten and fallen asleep, we went to work in my office. We realised we made a mistake when planning everything as we planned for humans. We assumed she was more human now and would like what the ladies liked, but her behaviour was pure wolf.We got a text telling us she was awake and went to their suite. We knocked so gently, I don’t think they heard us. We were listening outside the door when she finally said her name. Her real name. Lewana.I can’t help but smile at this. I finally knew her real name, and it was so beautiful. The reason for her name fit her perfectly. Every time I learned something about her, I just wanted her to be mine even more.That’s when we knocked loudly on the door. I was trying to gain her trust, and I wasn’t going to get it by eavesdropping.“Come in”, someone called out.“Hello ladies, Just checking in and that you’re all OK”.Lewana looked at me very suspiciously, but quickly looked
