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 b

  • Balance of Light and Shadow   Chapter 100

    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

    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

    Lewana POVI wake up surprisingly refreshed and enjoying the sensation of being surrounded by bedding that smells like Conrad. In my current naked state it feels like I'm close to him and just enjoy the softness of the sheets on my skin. I turn and look at the clock he keeps on his bedside table. It's 1pm. Crap, I've slept the whole day away. I run to my room and have a quick shower and get changed. I'm starving so I go straight to the kitchen to find Mary."Oh honey, you're up. Honestly, I don't know what Conrad was thinking keeping you out all night before a pack run. I'm just glad you could rest. Conrad told me this morning it might be a ..... big night for you". I look nervously down. Of course, he told her. Liam probably knows as well. They were going to find out anyway tonight but it doesn't calm my nerves. "I guess it will be. I just hope it goes OK". "It will. The pack loves you and will protect you from anyone trying anything sketchy. Speaking of which. Donovan brought you

    Conrad POVLast night was literally the best night of my life. I had never experienced a connection like that before. Even just now in the shower, I could feel how much Lewana trusted me and was willing to give me everything. How she felt safe enough with me to tell me her secrets and touch me without fear of it going too far too quickly. One thing is for sure. I don’t think I can ever shower alone again. I watch her sleeping peacefully and know I have to drag myself away. I have a pack run tonight. And some serious security measures to implement. I practically skip into the kitchen whistling and calling out as I enter.“Morning Mary”.Liam who is waiting for me at the table while drinking a coffee raises an eyebrow with a smug look on his face.“Well, you’re in a good mood”.“Yes I am. And I have a lot to tell you and organize for tonight”.“You’re not normally the ‘kiss and tell’ type”.“I’m still not but we have other things to discuss”.Mary places a giant breakfast in front of
