Connor POV
I 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
Conrad POV I start briefing the guards and soldiers on the plan. I'm leading the north west side, and Liam is leading the south east. The fact that they surround our territory at such a distance that we didn't detect them means that it's clear they are going to give it everything they've got, as this will be their last chance to get what is ours. Prince Eli the Phoenix Prince and Prince Aalto the Siren jackass come to our aid as well. “What do you want us to do?". "I have no idea what a Phoenix is actually capable of, but assuming it means lots of fire. Go East with Liam, as it is all open plains, so you can show them what you can do. Prince Aalto. Come with me, North. The lake is up that way, and I assume you need water". Before I have even left, Prince Eli is in the air, flying and creating a flame barrier on the ground. I can also hear the rumbling of trucks coming from a distance. I wait to see if my trap for that zone has worked. BOOOMLewana mind-links me. "What was that?
Lewana POVAfter a blissful night's sleep in our bed, I wake up knowing today is the day. I’m honestly a bundle of nerves. Two months ago, I was a rogue and wanted nothing to do with this world. Could I really be the Luna Queen and help guide it? I could still be rejected by some of the packs when the announcement is made, which will cause trouble, but I'm hoping we can work through all those issues. My rambling train of thought is interrupted by a half-asleep voice. “Stop it. They will all love you just as much as I do”.I roll over and see Conrad smiling at me. “How did you know what I was thinking?”.“You’re my other half in every way. I can feel your nerves down the bond, and I know you enough to know why you would be nervous”.I groan and try to hide under the covers, but he just pulls me close. I just sigh and relax into his warmth, but I know we both feel the tension. “Midday right”. The time of the ceremony”.“Yep. Then unfortunately for you, you are mine forever”. He starts
Lewana POVI wake up on the last day at the cabin. This is the first time I have woken before Conrad. I get up and walk around my little sanctuary. I know that in a few hours, we will be back in the middle of all the drama, but tomorrow is the finale. Tomorrow, he can officially choose me with the backing of the council to be Luna Queen. Was I even ready for that? I try to push the thought out of my mind, and as soon as the cold sends shivers through my body, I instantly want to be next to Conrad's body warmth. I head back to bed and try to get back in without him noticing me. He was clearly half awake as he instantly grabbed me and pulled my back against his defined body. "I always notice when you leave Moonlight. You should know that". He starts kissing me against my neck, and I can feel him growing harder against my hip. He starts to tease my nipples, making them instantly hard, and he slides his cock so it rubs against my folds, making me instantly soaked. "I love it when you
Conrad POVThe hike, the heat, and three rounds of amazing sex had completely worn Lewana out. She passed out on the bed late last night and is still asleep now, despite it being mid-morning. Clothes seem unnatural out here, and they made her uncomfortable yesterday as they made her body heat rise even higher, so we have just been going around as our true, authentic naked selves. Honestly, it is the freest I have felt in years. Possibly ever. While she slept, I decided to explore. It makes more sense now that when Liam visited her house to get her stuff, there was nothing of any value. That was never her home. This was. The little cabin was beautiful. Only had what it needed with the kitchen, living room, and one bedroom. Soft furnishings, wooden furniture made from nearby logs, and a small fireplace at the edge of the room. She must have hiked it all up herself. It must have taken years to get it all up here. I’m going to have to ask how she got a mattress up, though. Even outdoo
Alpha Anthony POV I woke this morning, and know I have 24 more hours until that canaiving mutt arrives back at the house. I only have until then to work out a way to save myself and my beloved Cordelia. I’m not being downgraded to just an Alpha again, and I’m not giving the title to my pathetic son. He believes in all this bullshit that Conrad spews about being equal to humans and working with them. They are so far beneath me that they should already be dead and buried. This is why Cordelia has always been my favorite pup. She is just as ruthless as I am. She knows it’s all about winning in this world and stopping at nothing until we get it.This is why she deserves to be Luna Queen. With her at the top, we would be unstoppable. This is why it is going to happen no matter what. I heard that Alpha William was arrested and detained overnight. There’s no way that dim-witted coward will not sing like a bird the first chance he gets. He has some brains but no spine, which is why he was
Connor POVWe drove the van up to the prison on the Royal Moon territory, where the soldiers were waiting. We get him out of the back, and when he realises where he is, he starts weakly protesting. Honestly, we are just laughing at the sight. This is definitely a technique we will use in the future. It's 2 am and I head back to my house. It's a cold, still evening as I listen to the gravel crunching underneath my footsteps. Gentle street lights line the paths, and every house is dark. Except mine. There is a single lamp in the living room, and I know who is waiting for me. I gently open the door and see the sleeping figure on my couch. A blanket over her legs and paperwork on the table. I know she tried to stay awake as she was likely worried about me coming back. It was the first time I had left since we started dating a few weeks ago. I gently stroke her face and watch her stir a little. Running my fingers over her lips reminds me of the amazing, passionate kisses we share. Her s
