Conrad POV
I wake in the morning with a profound sense of dread washing over me. I essentially have to survive three dates with stuck-up, entitled she-wolves who all want me when I’m not interested in them. This is one of the reasons I dislike dating so much, as it's just them giving me compliments and explaining why they think they would make a great Luna Queen.
First up is morning tea with Darlina. Alpha Angus's granddaughter from the north. I have redirected all my pack jobs to Liam for the next two days while I get through this process. He says he is happy to as he has wanted me to find a Luna for years but I still owe him for it.
I grab and random suit again for the day and head to the table out on the terrace. Darlina is waiting for me so I take a deep breath and join her to get this over and done with.
When I arrive she bows to me. “Good morning Alpha King. I hope you slept well&rd
Conrad POVA few days of practicing what Arthur has been telling me to do, and I feel a bit more in control. Routine has been the key. Eating at the same time, training at the same time, reviewing goals, and most importantly, bed at the same time. The dreams haven't stopped, but I can control them now. Whenever I see Lewana leave the cabin, I don't chase her. I wait. I walk around the cabin and remember her being there. Lately, she has come back to the cabin and asks if I don't love her anymore. Why didn't I go get her? I just hold her and tell her I'm coming. We have developed a solid plan for getting the word out that Lewana has been taken. We have put a reward in the human world as well as the wolf world. However, in the human world, it just states that she is missing and suggests that she is in trouble. Now that all the Alphas have returned home, they are feeding back any information on rogue whereabouts and possible leads. All information is fed back to the strike team that Li
Conrad POVI spent the rest of the day in the room after that meeting. I didn't want to face anyone. I could hear the bustle of cars leaving one after another. Food was brought up for me, but I barely ate anything. Just drank my whiskey to get me to sleep.Every time I closed my eyes, I lost my moonlight again. I tried to scent her pillow, but every trace of her in the room was gone. That bitch had made sure that her scent covered everything that was hers as if marking her territory.I burned everything. The only thing that held sentimental value was the moon pendant I now wore. Everything else could be replaced.I know a night has passed, but I have no idea what time it is. I ignore the sound when I hear a knock on the door."I'm coming in, son. Don't give a crap if you're decent or not".I snarl when Arthur walks in. "What do you want, old man?".He looked at the mess of me in the bed, and I could see the pity in his eyes. "You need to get up, son. We need to go train"."Get fucked.
Liam POVI was sitting outside Conrad's hospital room listening to him fight, plead, and eventually scream in pain while he was with Arthur. My Alpha King. My best friend. My brother. And there was nothing I could do but listen. It all becomes too much. I had to leave. I sprint out of the hospital and straight to Mary's kitchen. I collapse on the table as soon as I get through the door and have my own breakdown. Mary comes running over to comfort me. "My poor boy. Come here". She holds me while I let everything out. When I eventually stop, I realise just how lost I am without Conrad. He is the leader, and I follow and support him. How was I going to do all this alone? "By knowing you're not alone". I turned around and saw Michelle with Kimberly and Willow. Kimberly comes and sits beside me. "It's one of the reasons we work so well together. We know we are all different, but we all bring something unique. A different perspective. A different skill". "Everyone here wants her back.
Conrad POV I open my eyes, and I'm in Lewana's Cabin. She is awake, next to me, staring lovingly into my eyes. The sun is just starting to rise, and the gentle morning light bathes her in a soft glow that makes her look like the Goddess she is. I feel how soft her skin is and kiss those supple lips as I feel her warmth next to me. She starts giggling and throws the covers off, showing every inch of her perfect body. She runs out the door, and I chase after her. I can see her darting behind trees, and then the white fur of Serena plays too. She runs behind a tree, but when we get there. She'd vanished.I laugh as I know how good she is at hiding. "Moonlight, where did you go?". Silence. The fear and dread start washing over me as the panic rises in my chest. I scream out into the forest. "LEWANA. WHERE ARE YOU?". Only the echo of my voice can be heard, mocking my desperate attempts to find her. The forest grows cold and dark. The shadows of the trees moved along the ground as
Liam POV 10 days. 10 days had gone by and nothing. It was like our Luna Queen had vanished from the planet. We couldn't find any trace of her.All magical creatures were looking for her. The Sirens were monitoring the oceans as they would sense her, even if she was on a boat. The Faes had the forests cover, so she wasn't being kept in a cave or a natural formation anywhere. Even the high priestess from the Phoenix's Kingdom was monitoring sunlight, so we would get a rough location if she were outside. Nothing. This only left one possibility. She was being kept in the human world. She could literally be in any building in any city in the country, and we didn't even have a place to start. We had contacted all the packs and put a reward of $10,000 for any information that led to a lead and $10 million for her safe return or location. As soon as the rewards were put out, there was an influx of e-mails and fake information as a way to get money. We didn't even care. We chased up everyt
Conrad POV I turned to the small, quiet voice coming from the doorway and saw the woman who had always looked after me. Her eyes were full of worry, and Arthur led her into the room with a comforting hand. I'm confused. "Mary, how do you know about any of this?". "When I told you about my life before Liam's pack. It was at Alpha Leroy's pack. That's where I was born. My mother was your grandmother's nanny as a child and later became her head maid. I grew up with your Grandmother and was being trained to be a nanny to her or other Alpha pups. It wasn't a mistake that she ended up at Liam's pack. She came to find me". I collapse into a chair and look around. I had always trusted Mary, as she had kept this secret from me the entire time she knew me. "How. How did you get her out? Why did you let her suffer so long if you knew where she was?". "I'm part of a secret order called the Order of Light. We use coded sentences to send messages between packs at the borders. As omegas are th
