Eve POVWhen I woke up in Conrad’s room again, I was so content. I have never been with someone who wanted to make me so happy. Even with the sex, he never pushed and wanted to make sure I was enjoying myself, even if he didn’t get what he wanted. I got up to go to the bathroom and I just stared at myself in the mirror. Last night had been amazing and I was wondering how I was going to go back to my room. If I wanted to go back.When I came back, I got back into his bed. He was awake and excitedly pulled me in close to him so he was spooning me.“I was wondering if you would come back”.“I guess you’re making it harder for me to run away”.He just pulled me even closer, held me tighter, and started kissing my neck. Just enjoying the time when it is just us in the world.We eventually got up and got dressed but Conrad surprised me by ordering breakfast to the room so we could spend more al
Conrad POVI was getting ready for the party with Liam and we were discussing everything that had happened with Lewana's mother. Also, I needed him to keep an eye on Arthur as they worked together as he clearly knew more than he was telling. “That is so messed up and creepy. What do you think she meant by a gift from the Moon Goddess”, Liam asked confused.“No idea. I was more concerned about events over the next month”.“Well, at least tonight we can just focus on the party”.We enter the barn together. It is customary for me to be first so the pack can greet me on entering. I have been here 30 minutes and Lewana is yet to show up. I turn to Liam worried.“Do you think she is coming or do you think it was too much”.“She’s coming. Mish says it’s a thing to be fashionably late”.This does nothing to calm my nerves. My thoughts are stopped by the visi
Eve POVOn the day of the party, I went to Michelle’s room, and she was giddy as ever. She says she has put all her other work on hold for me and made me an outfit for tonight’s party. She kept telling me how she had been with Willow in the library studying Luna’s. Getting inspiration from pictures and descriptions."From my research, Luna are warriors and ultimate mothers. They serve alongside the Alpha as the father of the pack. If the Alpha has to leave for whatever reason, he trusts his Luna to defend and protect the pack in his absence. They are also the person most connected with the Moon Goddess which is why packs look to her for guidance".She covers my eyes and walks me into her room.“Ta-da”.I am horrified. “I can not wear that. I’ll be practically naked”.“Oh everything is covered”, she states while waving a hand at me.“Thought you said Luna's are mot
Eve POVThe next day I decided to cremate my mother. We weren’t on her pack lands and she had been in a dark confined space most of her life. I didn’t want that for her in death. The entire Royal Moon pack came out for the ceremony. Conrad had given her every werewolf's right of passage and I spread her ashes in the wind so she could finally be free.The next two days were a mix of emotions. I had already grieved my mother once before. I never thought I would do it a second time. Part of me was relieved that she was free and I had to process that only her shell had come out of the dungeon that day. I know I should be sadder than I was but I wasn’t. Think I was just glad she didn't have to suffer anymore. Conrad called a meeting with Arthur and me as he said he understood him a lot better now. He wasn't just protecting me as a daughter but as his chosen Alpha.When we told him what happened and that knew about my birth. He st
Trigger warning - stillbirth and abortion.Conrad POVWe approach the figure slowly. We were both in shock. She hadn’t walked or spoken since we rescued her from the dungeons. How the hell was she up and walking. How did she get outside without a guard seeing her?Lewana approached cautiously and looked her in the eyes and the realization seemed to dawn on her.“Aesira”, she said just above a whisper.“Yes my pup. I’m so glad I could see you again”. She reaches out a hand and strokes her face.Lewana starts crying immediately and pulls her in for a hug. Her mother just strokes her back and gently shushes her until she is calm.“I don’t understand. Where’s Mother”.“Your mother’s soul moved on a few years ago. What they did broke her and she couldn’t hold on anymore. I’ve been by myself in this body waiting since then”.That's
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
