Eve POV
The next few days go by painstakingly slow. I keep trying to get out and do stuff but I’m sent back to bed to rest. No matter how much I protest that it is not that bad, all my girls make it very clear they are buying none of it.
Willow is the worst as she is very regimented normally but now she is making sure I eat and take medication at exact times. Honestly, I have had worse without painkillers. Conrad keeps coming by and making sure I’m OK. I think he is worried I will disappear again. Arthur has been coming by too. He knows I'm strong so think he is stopping by to keep an eye on Conrad. Going to have to get those two to work on that. I know they are just being caring but honestly, I’m getting cabin fever.
On day three, Conrad and Liam come to the rooms to get us and announce it is moving day. The girls are excited but I’m a bit sad. We have always been together and shared bathrooms between us. I know it’s good to
Eve POVThe morning sun comes through the window and starts to gently wake me. Before I open my eyes take a deep breath and scent the most amazing smell of a forest before a storm. I can feel Conrad's bare chest underneath my head as my fingertips tingle as they rest on his abs.I feel sleep with him. Again. I always sleep so well when he is near me but I start to panic that I’m in his room. In his bed. I try to get up but he grabs me tight around the waist, pulls me back to the bed with a growl, and turns me so he is spooning me.“Stop trying to leave me”.I surrender and relax while he holds me. He starts nuzzling my neck and kissing it again sending the butterflies in my stomach into a frenzy.He turns me to look me in the eyes. “Have dinner with me tonight. In the house kitchen, not the formal dining room”.I just groan. Afte
Eve POVFor the past few days, I have just been floating around the pack. I don’t really want to interact with anyone. I've heard all the rumors circulating. Most have some truth to them. ‘I can’t believe he is interested in that rouge’. ‘She nothing but a killer’. ‘She’s so unladylike’. ‘She would never be a good Luna. What does our Alpha King even see in her’.I’ve been hiding in my room most of the time. Avoiding the whispers. Avoiding the stares. Avoiding Conrad. I’m in my room looking out the window at the sun setting behind the horizon. I kept looking into the forest, thinking it would be easy to get to the edge of the border unnoticed. I would just have to get past the rogues waiting. I have done it before and the setting orange makes the path to my freedom look even more enticing. I’m jolted out of my thoughts by the knock at the door. I stay still and hope they go away.“I know you’re in there moonlight”. I call Conrad to come in.He walks up behind me, wraps his arms a
Lewis POVWhy did Eve have to interfere? I have always trained the guards as part of my duties and now she’s turning it into a joke. She teaches one dumb pup an underhanded move to embarrass me and undermine everything. How will they respect me now?I’m fuming when I get back to my room and throw myself onto the bed. I didn’t even notice Mish had been following me. There is a knock at the door.“WHAT”.“She pissed you off that much huh”.I instantly feel guilty and go to open the door.“Sorry Mish. Just training is my thing. It always has been and she undermined everything with one move”.Mish talks to me in a sweet reassuring voice. “No she didn’t. She fought a whole pack of rouges and won. She defeated all your soldiers in the ring. Honestly it was the same at uni”.“What do you mean”.“Lewis. The reason she is so good is because
Eve POVSince Conrad and I kissed I have been avoiding him. I know he notices but he has given me space. I think it’s just nervous energy. I let someone, an Alpha no less, past one of my walls, and now I felt naked all the time. How are relationships meant to work anyway? Every nerve in me is telling me to run but there's a force telling me to stay.I needed to burn off some steam and I have finally been cleared for training.I get to the gym at 6 as most wolves go after 9. I’m glad to find only one other person. I start jogging to warm up, do some weights, and finish with some boxing. The other wolf is a young male and he hasn’t left the boxing area since I arrived. He keeps mumbling to himself “Be better, you have to be better”.Curiosity gets the better of me and I go over to him.“What exactly are you trying to be better at”.He jumps at the fact I’m talking to him. And starts to try and pack up.“I’m sorry for interrupting
Conrad POVSince Lewana and I kissed I have been doing everything I can to try and spend alone time with her. I desperately need to hold her again but she is avoiding me. Jace has been helping me work out what are my feelings and what are hers as I am feeling everything. I don't think she knows I can feel her emotions and I have no plans on telling her in case she works out to block them.I can feel her confusion but also a desire for closeness again. I decided to give her a day or two to try and process what she wants before I seek her out as I need her closeness as well. In the meantime, I have a lot of pack business to sort out. And first on the agenda. Arthur.Liam comes into my office promptly with some pack files as asked. "Here is everything we have on him"."Great. Tell me what you know"."Well for starters he is Alpha Blake's Beta. Apparently, something happened at the pack where Arthur lost it and rejected hi
