Balance of Light and Shadow

Rogue POVIt took me days to flee my old territory. The supposed Alpha King tracked me for 12 hours through the land before he called off the search. A few hunters tried to track me in the days after that, but I evaded them all.Seeing my street come into view and the modest 4-bedroom house I called home gave me hope that I had escaped that world again. I put my key in and turned it just glad to be back. “I’m Home”.My room mate Kimberly is the first to great meet me. “Welcome back. How was the conference”.“Uh, yeah it was good. Usual sort of Vet updates”. The humans I live with don’t even know werewolves exist, let alone that I’m a wolf. No way I can tell them where I was or what happened.Michelle comes running up to me way too excited, “Well now that you’re back you need to get dressed up. We’re going out to a wine bar tonight”.I dramatically groaned. “No. Why”.She just rolls her eyes, “Because I want to meet someone to have fun with and Kimberly is still looking for Mr husband m

Conrad POVI’m up on the balcony waiting for the car headlights to come down the estate's driveway telling me Connor has gotten home. I can feel my wolf Jace pacing inside me getting more frustrated as the seconds tick away on the clock.Since I saw her last week, she has plagued my thoughts. Her flowing chestnut hair, sapphire blue eyes I got lost in, the pale silk-like skin I wanted to kiss all over, and curves that make me want to hold tight and never let go. Even the amount of disrespect in her attitude was amazing. The fire and passion in her words make me want to tame her more. Make her mine.At 1 am I see the headlights so bolt down the stairs to meet him at the front door.“How did it go”. I couldn’t contain myself and was talking as soon as Connor opened the door.Connor can’t make eye contact with me as he talks and just stares at the ground. “Her friends seem nice, but she was furious. Sorry Alpha King but she won’t come”.The noise woke my Beta Liam up and his half asleep b

Michelle POVWe are all on edge after what Eve had told us. She was leaving on Saturday for her camping trip. We kept telling her not to go and that it would be safer to stay in the house. She kept telling us that it’s not her safety she was worried about but with one of my world-renowned death glares she shut up. We made it clear we are in this together.I’m chilling on the couch with the girls while Eve does another late shift. “Alright. Operation keep Eve here is underway. Where are we up to”.Willow shows me her phone. “I ordered these online and they came today. They’re tracking devices. I have hidden one in her car and in her camping gear. That way if she does run we at least know where she is”.“Excellent. I have also hidden her passport so at least we know she can’t leave the country. Kimberly, any thoughts”.She just shakes her head and hugs the pillow tighter. She has been a mess since all this came out.We’re all jolted out of the conversation when we heard a knock at the do

Michelle POV I’ve been texting Liam over the weekend. I’m honestly having so much fun texting Wolf Boy. He keeps trying to get me to send nude photos, stating it is only fair because I’ve seen him naked. I’ve sent teasing photos of me in underwear, or side shots of me naked, so he can’t see the good stuff, which is driving him insane. I’m loving every minute of it.I know he’s partly using me to gather information on Eve to feed to Conrad so I’m keeping it superficial as he was a total jackass for getting her foster carer file.Together we developed a plan over the weekend. Conrad and Liam have invited all four of us to the Royal Moon Pack for a weekend stay. Main goal is to show that his pack is safe unlike her old one and Liam assured us that we will be treated like royal princesses with no expense spared. The three of us are so excited. We just have to convince Eve when she comes back. If she comes back.I’m working from home on new designs for my fashion line and it’s about luncht

Eve POVAs soon as we enter the territory my hackles go up. All the girls are excitedly squealing looking at the village set up of the pack. Small houses with all garden space used to grown food and a large community orchard. I just see obedience to stay within a life that has no freedom.I was terrified going to the pack house, but I will show them no fear. If they want a fight, I have my full set of specialty silver knives just in case to fight our way out if need be.I can feel my wolf Serena right on the surface in case something goes wrong. Michelle has told me they have put a lot of effort into making me feel as comfortable as possible, but nothing will drop my guard.Liam greets us at the entrance and leads us inside. Michelle was practically skipping as we went into the main dining hall. It was all set up to be very grand. Huge wooden table, golden cutlery, crystalware and fancy china. There was enough seating for 7. Means someone else was coming. Liam and the butlers were be
