Conrad POV
I thought a family-style dinner would put my Moonlight more at ease. Mary is like a den mother to Liam and me. She was the one who noticed she wasn’t really eating, as the contents of her kitchen fridge were different in the morning. It will also give her someone else in the pack to support her helping her adjust. When I explained the whole situation to Mary she was practically buzzing with motherly energy to shower her with.
I was walking her back to her room and we were just chatting but I wanted to make sure I hadn’t upset her with the surprise.
“You OK with everything that happened over the last few days. I know it's been delicate between us and I didn't intend on confirming you were my mate in front of pack members. I know it has been tough for you with the pack and if you're OK with it, we will be addressing it with the pack tomorrow so they have more information. I just want to make it easier”.

Conrad POVOnce I have shorts on we walk back to the pack house hand in hand. The walk through the forest is so calm and natural. Both of us barefoot and walking like we are meant to be there. As soon as she sees the pack house her demeanor changes. I can feel her nerves even more now that our bond is getting stronger. She tries to let go of my hand but I am having no of it. I hold on tighter. When we enter the pack house my moonlight goes quiet and starts looking at the ground. I can see the smiles of my staff at the sight of us together and I lift her chin to look. The staff smile and bow or curtsey as we walk past. A pack without a Luna is very precarious as they provide stability and legacy. I can sense the pack is happy to see that I have found someone but I can also sense she's still a little nervous at the attention. She is more relaxed than before the full moon and I'm sure the more she is accepted, the more her confidence in the pack will grow.We go to the kitchen for brea
She stays in the water and calls out, the knife in hand. Ready.With a menacing growl, she calls out. “I know you’re the rouge wolf from the forest. I will kill you if you come closer”.Shit. She has never met Jace and doesn’t know it’s me. Liam always says my wolf is threatening, and he is jet-black and huge with yellow eyes. Jace starts to panic.“What do I do. Do I run”.“I don’t know. She might get mad a chase us. Try to show her we’re not a threat”.Jace starts to lower his head and whimpers. This intrigues her and she slowly comes out of the water but doesn’t lower the knife. She slowly approaches and we try to remain as still as possible.“Let me shift back so she knows it's me”.“Hell no. I want to meet her. Mate's smart. She'll work this out”.Jace slowly sniffs the air and rolls over to his back showing his belly. She resheaths the knife at this.“OK. So not a threat. So who might you be then”.She crouches down so she is at eye level with Jace. He slowly walks towards he wh
Conrad POVPack runs are always an eventful night. Everything is much more freeing and clearer on the night of a full moon. It's said that the Moon Goddess shines down on us and guides us if we listen. Jace also has the strength to overpower my human side as he is stronger. It is the night he looks forward to the most as he is completely in charge.I have much to reflect upon in the back of Jace's mind. The ladies have been here two weeks and even though Kimberly, Willow, and Michelle are settling in, Lewana is still struggling. Willow gave her two weeks' notice at work and is now here full-time. Michelle is a freelance fashion designer so works from home most days. Kimberly has given notice and will finish at the end of the school term to teach here full-time.I completely forgot about my moonlight if I’m honest. I just pictured her by my side and working with me in the pack once she accepted me fully. It never occurred to me that she would want to
Connor POVI drove Eve to her clinic for the 8am start. She argued about driving herself but I refused. With how bad Alpha King has it for this girl, I wasn't stepping a toe out of line.I could tell she was mad and being guarded. I kept reminding her that she should be glad it was one hunter and not half his military. Hunters are humans who have been gifted with the knowledge and skills to kill rogue werewolves. One of these skills is the ability to see aura in a crowd so I will be able to see a threat before a werewolf pick up a scent. She doesn't need to know about the guards on respite near just in case.When we got her work and parked we both got out of the car. She turned and looked at me.“Where are going”.“Where you go”.“Can you wait in the car”. She already looks annoyed.“Nope. Alpha King's orders. I stay where I can see you”.She just rolls her eyes and we

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
