Liam 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 frust

    Trigger Warning - mentions of suicide Lewana POV I curled up on Conrad's chest and listened to his heartbeat. I just let him talk as I felt the turmoil drain for him. It was at least two hours before he stopped talking. Conrad tilts my head up to look at him. "So now you know everything, and why I can't mark you yet". "You can still mark me, Conrad. We will be more united, and I can help you. It won't hurt me or the pups"."You can't guarantee that. Stella said I was blue and black. It means there is darkness in me. If it takes over or the shadows attack me again, you could get hurt. If things get bad and the hunters have to act to protect the pack". I smack him in the chest. "The hell am I going to let them?". He places a gentle hand on my belly. "The lineage is already safe, and you're an amazing ruler. If I have to die to save you, the pups, and protect everyone else, then I will". I reach up and grab his face and stare into his eyes. I can't see any shadows, but I know who

  • 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

    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
