Trigger Warning - Mention of child abuse

Lewana POV

The house feels empty today. At least I think it's the house. It might just be me that feels empty. Conrad is out for the day so the council has scheduled my interview today. I know they purposely booked it for when he was out of the house so he wasn’t here to support me. To make me more vulnerable.

I was waiting outside feeling the anxiety rise in me as I knew this was going to be brutal. I know they called it an interview but I knew mine would be an interrogation. And I had to be polite about it.

Donovan walks up to me, all smiles, but I know he's playing a part. “Lady Lewana. The council will see you now”.

I walk in and instantly see all four pairs of judging eyes staring at me. Staring at me like I was a waste of space in their perfect world so they had to destroy me. I had to hold my head up high as I had to do this. I had to prove I could stand up to them. Alpha Anthony is the first to speak.

“Lady Lewana. As you know the co

    Lewana POVI sit on Conrad's lap as I explain everything that happened. The entire plan of the enemy. He refused to let me go and just rubbed my tiny bump protectively as he absorbed all the details, while Liam, Aalto, and Eli stared with fury. Donovan was still in the house when they left, so Liam was straight on the phone to Arthur. "The fucking little weasel left already. Guards at the front gate said he left on urgent pack business just after 1 this morning. Arthur will be on the lookout in case he comes back, but he likely heard about our raid". Liam starts pacing but eventually throws his phone against the wall of the plane, shattering it. "FUCK". He slumps down in a chair, just exasperated, and looks up at the ceiling. "That is the most fucked up shit I have ever heard. I can't believe Cordelia bought your pup". I ask the only thing on my mind. "Is she still at the house?". "Sound asleep, apparently. Arthur checked personally. Wonder why they didn't get her out". "Becaus

    Lewana POVFlashback to two months agoI can feel myself starting to wake up. I'm tucked up warm in bed as usual. If Conrad is up before me, he normally tucks me back in to make sure I'm warm before he leaves. I love it when he does that. I roll over and reach out to his side of the bed, and my arm goes off the edge. Did I fully move to his side of the bed? I reach around with my other hand and find the other edge. This isn't my bed. I sit up and start looking around frantically, greeted by thick perspex walls in a lab with technicians doing work. I start growling instantly. A ferocious, loud growl that makes them all freeze. "Your Highness, you're finally awake. Did you have a good rest?". The familiar face brings me no comfort. "Donovan. What have you done?". "I've saved us all my Luna Queen. You are strong, beautiful, and blessed. You have always been destined for greatness, but you have hidden from us in the human form for many years. Your new accommodations are just to ma

    Lewana POVOnly once the convulsion stops, I release my fangs from his neck. I cradle my broken wrist and just sob onto his chest. I never wanted to mark him like that. Liam comes out from hiding and approaches slowly. "Luna Queen. Let me help you. You're badly injured and ...... ". I know what he is trying not to say. "I know I'm pregnant, Liam. Serena has checked. Everything's fine. Mainly bruising, but my wrist is broken. It will take a day to heal properly". I wince as I get up. I try to hide, but Liam notices instantly and runs to my side. Aalto comes out next. He looks like he is dazed. "I know this might not be the best timing, but what the fuck just happened?". I just groan as Liam gets me to a flat rock to sit on. "Shadows. When I was taken, it must have left a space in Conrad's soul where they could move in. What exactly happened while I was gone?". Aalto and Liam just freeze. They say nothing, so I know it must have been bad. I decide now is not the time to press th

    Lewana POVMy mind starts to clear the sedation they always pump me full of. The ground feels different. Hard and cold. A cold wind caresses my skin for the first time in months. Have they moved me? "I think she's starting to wake up"."What kind of drugs did they give her? She's been out for an hour". The voices feel familiar, but I'm not sure. I open my eyes and I try to focus. It's dark and there is a fire nearby. I'm no longer in the lab. And I'm not restrained. I start growling to warn whoever is near me. A figure comes running towards me and holds my shoulder supportively, trying to get me to sit up. "I've got your Luna Queen". I recognize the scent before I can make out his face. Liam. I just collapse onto him and start silently sobbing as he rubs my back. He keeps trying to reassure me. "It's OK. We got you out. We'll take you home soon". Home. He'll take me to Conrad. Wait."Is he not here? Didn't he come?". He laughed a humourless laugh. "He's sort of knocked out

    Liam POVI could tell Alpha King scented them as soon as he entered, just as I did. He puts his Alpha's aura up on full force and uses his Alpha command to dominate the room. "WHERE IS SHE?". They all cower behind chairs and desks. At the back of the room, there appears to be some sort of lab room. Thick glass walls with an isolation room before entering. The inside, however, is set up as a mini studio apartment. A chair, books to read, a table, and a chair to eat. The king single bed was a hospital bed with straps attached. The mattress has been pulled off and put on the floor. "Check the compass". He pulls it out, and it points directly to the room. He moves slightly left and then right. The compass is definitely saying she is in there. He goes and checks the door, and it is another biometric lock. We don't have another three minutes to hack the system. He pulls out his handgun and points it at one of the workers. "I know she is in there. Open it". They whimper in response.

    Conrad POVI woke that morning and went straight to the TV. Nightstalker sent a text overnight about the AI video she made. The morning show is on, and the presenter is talking about a video that went viral overnight. "What would you do if you were in the right place at the right time but not ready. Two girls found themselves in this predicament when they discovered Billionaire Conrad Strongheart taking some well-earned R'N'R by going camping. In the video that went viral overnight, two girls came across his campsite but after realising they hadn't showered or brushed their hair in two days, decided to run away". They then play the AI video and show an apparent video of me shirtless in the forest. When I look directly at the camera after hearing a noise, the footage changes to the forest floor with noises of girls giggling and running away in the background. Perfect. We spend the rest of the day training. Aalto had never used a gun before, but stated he would be better as a shield
