Eve POV

I started to slowly wake up. I just lay in bed with my eyes closed, feeling the warmth of the blankets on my legs, the still sound of the room, the warm relaxed feeling that’s running through my body as if a warm light is flowing in my veins. I haven’t slept this well in ages.

I can feel a warm comforting body next to me as they slowly stroke my hair. It takes me a while to realize I don’t recognize the body I’m next to. I open my eyes and see Conrad looking down at me.

“Hey, beautiful”.

I leap out of the bed with a scream.

He starts to panic and talking rapidly. “It’s Ok. It’s OK. I’m only here cause you wanted me here. Nothing happened”.

“I wouldn’t want you here. Why are you in my bed”. I’m furious he would try something like this.

“Take some breaths and try and remember this morning. What do you remember”.

“I remember going to see my mother and not being able to find her. I was angry. I came to find her….and then it’s all fuzzy”.

“Just take some breaths. It will come ba

I'm really glad that Conrad is doing his best to take things slowly and gently. It's a welcome change from the usual.

  • Balance of Light and Shadow   Chapter 177

    Conrad POV I know I should have left Lewana like that, but I can't risk breaking down again. I need to find these answers and fast. It's mid-afternoon now, and Willow should have had the Hunter text for a few hours. Hopefully, she has something. I walk to the library and open the doors to find her alone and reading a large book. " Hey, Willow. Do you have anything from the hunter chronicles?". "Yeah. It was much easier to translate as it's more recent and in French. The first Werewolf hunter was listed as a Frenchman, Benoist. In 1573, in a city called Dole, a man called Gilles Garnier was reported to have killed four children and eaten them. One of them was Benoist 10 year 10-year-old daughter. She was attacked, and he found her; however, she died a few days later in the hospital. The daughter reports a werewolf that hunts in moonlight, which is when he asked the Goddess for power to kill him. He was the first hunter". "Does it mention anything about his powers, His skills?". "

    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
