Liam POV

Eve 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 havi

  • Balance of Light and Shadow   Chapter 175

    Lewana POV I woke up in my bed with one side being cold. I was groggy, and my eyes hurt from crying. I had cried myself to sleep again and got very little sleep from the tossing and turning due to the nightmares. I was beyond exhausted. I went to the shower and curled up on the floor while the hot water ran over me, and the empty, hollow feeling filled my chest once again. I could feel Serena whimpering, but both of us were still mad at him. "What are we going to do, Serena?". "Punch him in the face again. That made me feel better". I let out a hollow laugh. "We can't punch him in the face forever". Serena thinks for a moment. "Check his bond link. It's stronger on our side as we marked him, and I doubt he closed it off to us. Should give you an idea how he is feeling. If he's actually sorry". I close my eyes and open it just a fraction. I can instantly feel his guilt, sadness, and confusion. I feel Serena roll her eyes. "He better not be confused as to why he is a moron". "No

    Conrad POVI stand by the back door nervously. I have the rabbit I just caught in my hands, and they tremble slightly. I know this is progress. But I also know it is going to be uncomfortable and awkward. However, I will do anything for Lewana. I knock, and Mary calls out to come in. Everyone is silent as I come in. I silently give Mary the rabbit, and I'm not sure what to do next. "Thank you, Dear". She leans in to give me a side hug and goes to butcher the rabbit. I look over and see her curled up next to Arthur, and he is rubbing her back in comfort. She's clearly been crying again this afternoon. He eyes are red and puffy, and she won't even make eye contact with me. Mary placed the rabbit in front of her, and she started picking and the little chunks as if they were jelly babies. I just smile as it's kind of cute. I stare at the strange family we have assembled as the unsettling nature that is now here settles in. Liam nods his head to come sit next to him at the end of th

  • Balance of Light and Shadow   Chapter 173

    Lewana POVThis dumb fucker thinks he can sneak up on me. ME. Using some bullshit excuse about Stella testing a theory. She's a damn child. I hold the blade to his throat as he holds his hands above him in surrender. I watch as he gulps, making the blade even closer to his Adam's apple. I almost wish he would fight me just so I could kick his ass. "Moonlight, please. Please just talk to me". I bark at him. "Why? It's not like you will listen anyway. Maybe I'm just overreacting. Maybe it's the pregnancy fault. Our pups' fault". "It's my fault. I know it's my fault. I want to talk to you about everything, and I will listen to you. But I can't do that if you won't even let me in the house". "So you're getting relationship advice from an 8-year-old. A theory she can fix your idiocy". "No. We think she might have special hunter powers. She sees auras in colours and I asked her to see what yours is". I look up and see Liam looking at me, concerned, and Connor holding one hand on hi

    Connor POV Oh crap, I missed the school pick up. I had texted Kimberly that I might be late, but it was now 4:30. Kimberly walked my Stella home, as I was 30 minutes late. Both of them stare at us from the doorway, clearly knowing they just walked into an awkward situation. No way I'm telling them that the Alpha King just asked me to kill him if he was bad. I run for Stella and pick her up. "Hey, baby girl. How was school?". "Good". She doesn't look at me when she talks. She stares intently at Conrad before returning her focus to me. Conrad doesn't flinch. He stares at the floor, not able to make eye contact with anyone, which honestly makes the whole situation worse. "Kimberly, can you take Stella to play outside or something while I finish up here?". Before Kimberly can answer, Stella has her hands on her hips. "No. I'm staying here because you're mad and he's sad". "Stella, it's grown-up stuff. We just need to finish up and then he will be leaving". Conrad speaks in a voi

    Conrad POV I spent some time in the kitchen that day with Mary and Liam. Jace even goes for a run with Valen to reconnect. We did a lot more talking and got a lot of things off our chests. I know I hurt Mary the most, so that will take more time. It's mid-afternoon before I head to my final stop for the day. I walk up to the small house that blends into the others in this zone. One where most werewolves rarely go. "Hey, Connor. You got time to talk before Stella is out of school?". He looks at me skeptically. I have never actually been to his house before. "Yeah sure. What's up?". I enter the living room, and it looks neat but plain. I know as a single dad, he probably doesn't care much about decor, but there were a few little details like the plant in the blue pot on the mantle piece. That's when I smell a scent that has been here often. I look at him, confused. "You and Kimberly". He chuckles. "Yeah. Nearly three months now. Stella loves her and is happy to have someone do

  • Balance of Light and Shadow   Chapter 170

    Conrad POVI stare at my brother. The beta that has stood by me through thick and thin, and I know I have to come clean with him as well. I look back at Mary. "The other reason I never said anything is because I know you prefer Liam, which is OK, you've raised him since he was a toddler, but I always thought you were helping me to support him". She pinches me. She actually pinches me. "Oww. What was that for?""I love both of my boys equally". I roll my eyes, which pisses Liam off. "You're a complete Jackass. You know that. I have done everything for you. Since we were pups. I have always had your back. I followed you to a literal war zone and back, every business and policy you made. You think I followed you because I needed you to support me". "No. I didn't mean it like that. You two have always been closer than Mary and me. And I get it. I really do. It meant everything when you chose me to be your Alpha, but I always felt Mary followed as well because she was following you.
