Eve POV

As 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 a 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 Sierra 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.

    Conrad POVAfter the dinner with the Sirens, I still wasn't uncomfortable letting Lewana go. I carried her to my room and she slept next to me last night. Holding her and knowing she was safe in my arms was the only way I could sleep. I up early and just sit up thinking about the day with Lewana curled up next to me. Cordelia was right last night. This entire event was due to finish in 8 days. It would only end if Lewana got more votes so I was allowed to choose her. Either that or I get rid of the entire council. When Lewana wakes, we go to breakfast and discuss what is happening today. Liam, Arthur, and Mary are there as well and we all know the countdown is ticking. Lewana talks to the group not really concerned with the ceremony. We both know it's Valerie getting eliminated today. "Do we have any other drama left to resolve". "No. Just the rogue threat and this ceremony to complete. Lady Brianna's father seems to have settled a bit. Don't think they are quite friendly neighbor

    Conrad POVI refuse to let go of Lewana’s hand from that point forward in the afternoon. She keeps sending me a calming aura but I put up barriers to block it as I need to be on alert to protect her. We showed the Sirens to the repurposed swimming pool and the Queen was delighted. Mud masks, soft blue linens on furniture, even arrangments of seashells and saltwater for them to drink. She points to the large hot tub. “I hope it is OK. The main pool has the same mineral content and temperature as the ocean but I wanted to try something with the hot tub. It has a higher magnesium content and higher temperature so it should help with any aches and pains you have from traveling”.The Queen walks over to the hot tub to inspect and cautiously puts a foot in. “I’m sure it will ……. Oh my”.She instantly erupts in her full siren body again and fully immerses herself. The King just looks at his wife with a small smile. “She’s not coming out of that any time soon. You did well little Orca”.Sh

    Conrad POVAnother magical creature introduction. Another test of my character. Another meal of awkward small talk and political discussion. Hopefully, it goes better than the Faes. Lewana has set everything up again. A meal from the ocean and place settings to make them feel at home. Years ago, I built an indoor swimming pool so we had safety when we swam, but we all hated being indoors and chose the lake instead. She had fully refurbished into accommodation for them as they will likely stay a few days to assess me.I hear a soft knock at the door and call them in. Lewana walks in wearing a beautiful soft blue dress with white layered edging. She also wearing a chocker with a single pearl hanging on it. She looks like an ocean princess. “You look stunning”.“No so bad yourself Alpha King. You ready”. I look at my more formal dark blue suit with no tie as recommended by my girl. Apparently, Sirens are more free spirits and playful so I should act accordingly. “With you by my side

    Lewana POVI just sit next to Conrad with Serena purring to calm him. It's always a shock the first time you go to the realm gates. I vomited when I came up the first time. Conrad sits in silence. Processing what just happened I hold him and he leans into my touch. Eventually, the silence is killing me and Serena wants to see Jace. "Do you want to talk about anything now, or do you want to wait til later. Maybe go for a run and just enjoy the rest of the night". He nods at me and we both shift. We run the rest of the night and just spend time together. Serena gives Jace a lot of affection and they end up snuggled on the ridge again. Conrad and I wake on the ridge in the morning at first light cuddled in each other arms. "One hell of a night huh". He lets out a humorless laugh. "I guess you can say that". "Do you want to tell me the main thing on your mind? You're starting to worry me with this silence". He thinks hard for a moment. "Do you think she meant it? When she said I

    Conrad POV When we got back to the field, with Cordelia dramatically limping along, I went straight to my mate's side. It’s still early in the night, and I know Serena has never been around this many wolves, so I want to give her as much support as possible.I take her to the stage where we can get a good view of the pack playing. Warriors are play fighting, young pups trying their luck in a hunt, even the ones not old enough to shift run around with the pack. A group of pups are staring at Serena in wonder. Serena nods them over and they take slow steps while looking a bit worried about Jace. “Can we….. would we be in trouble if we ….. you look soft and fluffy”. Serena lowers her and they pat her. She surprises the smallest one by grabbing the back of their shirt and lifting them up on her back. They squeal with excitement. “She’s even fluffier up her”.All fears melt away in an instant as they all run up onto the stage and dive into her fur. One looks at Jace wanting to pat him

  • Balance of Light and Shadow   Chapter 97

    Conrad POV I am dressed very casually for tonight's run. Dressing purely for my girl. When she sees my arms, I see her eyes light up as the need to reach out to touch me takes over. I'm seriously considering ripping all the sleeves of every shirt I own to have her look at me like that every time she sees me. She starts to look around confused. There are two tents in the field. One is a basic fabric one you can stand up in and the other is extremely grand. It's bight colored and could easily fit the large wooden table from the kitchen. There are also a lot of strange noises coming from the tent that I can't identify. Lewana looks at me. "So what is going on with the tents". I just roll my eyes. "Apparently, because this is a presentation the other two candidates wanted tents to make grand entrances. Guess which one is Cordelia's". She lets out a small fake laugh but I can feel her arm tighten around mine. "I know tonight is big for you but I will be right here the whole time. Ther
