Conrad POV

I stare daggers into Valerie for interrupting me while Cordelia stands as defiant as ever. That bitch needs to suffer for everything that she has done. Why would Valerie even waste her breath trying to save her?

Lady Valerie stands with her hands towards both of us and then turns to Cordelia. “Apologies for interrupting but my date with Alpha King is scheduled for tomorrow. Unfortunately, I have another commitment. I know that, as per the rules of the ceremony, times cannot be changed unless the Alpha King himself is incapacitated, but they can be swapped. I am sure you have prepared a wonderful spread as usual so why not enjoy that with your father and I will have my date with Alpha King now. That way he is well rested and in a better mood for your date with him tomorrow”.

Cordelia thinks about it a huff. “Well, it’s not like you were going to win anyway. You can have it here and I will see you tomorrow handsome”.

She blows me a kiss and I shudder at the thought. I turn

    Liam POVI'm talking to Conrad this morning as we have to have a solid plan for the next 24 hours when he is away with Cordelia. Honestly, the thought of being trapped with that woman for 24 hours sounds like a grueling punishment. We also have to plan for these interrogations this morning. I'm doing my best to keep him on track but I can sense the dread in him. "I have Alpha Leroy first. Figured he would be easier. Then Donovan". He nods and we go to the room we have set up where Alpha Leroy is waiting.Conrad walks up to greet him and shakes his hand. "Alpha Leroy. I know you are just a stand-in for the ceremony purpose so I am going to make this quick. Your father was a major issue for me and I believe the council so he would have faced harsh consequences for what he set up. However, it is clear you had no part in this. Any evidence you have found to conspire against the crown has been handed over and you have shown remorse for your lack of knowledge". He lets out a breath that

    Arthur POVI'm not surprised Lewana either found out or worked out about Mary and me. She's always been intuitive. I still felt guilty for it though. I'm Lewana's Beta. She always comes first. My life should be dedicated to her. But Mary gave me something I hadn't had in years. Personal connection. I think back to my mate and my life before her death. I liked her and she liked me but I don't know if I would call it love. More survival. We had grown up together as pups and we were both pure Beta's. As I was Blake's Beta it made sense for us to have the next generation. The Beta to support the Alpha heir. That way they could grow up together. When my mate and the Luna got pregnant at the same time it seemed to be the Moon Goddess blessing shining down on us. Until Blake took her to a clinic and found out he was having a girl. While he demanded termination we continued as whatever the pup was would be a valuable asset to the pack regardless of gender. It didn't matter as I lost them b

    Lewana POVWe stand in the compound in this tense standoff unsure of what to do with this information with everyone still looking at me for a solution. I turn and look at Queen Ember. "What are you proposing"."We reform the alliance. We call on each other if we need aid and fight alongside each other against the shadows to make sure this Light continues to live". "Agreed". I turn in surprise to see Conrad agreeing so easily. I'm worried about this. More people putting themselves at risk for me. "Are you sure". "They had me at, keep you alive. You know nothing else matters to me". I just hold him tight. King Florian is next to agree. Followed by King River. Queen Ember smiles. "Then it is settled. We will all keep monitoring the shadows and agree to send aid to each other if there is an attack". Something clicks in my mind. "There have already been three attacks. One at my old home and two here on the territory. All within the last six weeks". Everyone stops and looks at me sh

    Lewana POVMichelle and I had barely made it upstairs when we felt the house shake. I grabbed Michelle and pushed her towards the doorway, thinking it was an earthquake. That was until we heard the screaming from the compound and the urgent mind-link. "WE'RE UNDER ATTACK".I tell Michelle to get to the safe room in the building and race outside to defend my pack. The heat hits me first. In the middle of the compound, there is a man in only black pants, powerful and covered in flames. A Phoenix. I have never come across a Phoenix before and this fucker landed in my pack's territory with such force he left a crater. He was terrorizing the pack members and damaging our land. The smell of fear was overwhelming. Pack members ran for cover from the flames that were shooting across the compound like a flame thrower. He smiled while he did it. I watched him and it was strange as he wasn't setting anything on fire. He was just enjoying the screams of terror. Soldiers had formed a ring

    Lewana POVMichelle brings all my clothes and starts organizing my wardrobe with me in Conrad's room. Well, our room now. This was always designed to be the living quarters for the Luna Queen and Alpha King so there is an empty wardrobe ready for me. I'm just trying to process everything and seem to be floating around the room. I keep gravitating towards the bed. I smell on the sheets are Conrad I just want to curl up in them. Michelle has other ideas though. "If this is going to be your permanent bedroom we need to make quite a few changes. It's too boyish and needs more of a feminine couple touch". She is already on the couch doing some internet shopping to get some pieces to make the room more me. I start to relax and the day passes easily. We are giggling away looking at items as Mary sends up nothing but comfort food. I have no idea what time it is when the door opens and Conrad walks in. "You two are in a good mood". "We're racking up bills on your credit card. Of course we

    Liam POVHow the fuck does this keep happening to Lewana. It's obvious to everyone that she belongs with Conrad but others keep trying to get her. If she does become Queen, will it always be like this? Will it be a never-ending series of attacks on her life or her dignity? This can't keep happening to her. I carry her in my arms with Jace stalking behind me. Shocked omegas look at her unconscious form before we are followed by the naked bleeding Alpha and the medic team. They have clearly given him something for the pain and he starts screaming at everyone as he is dragged down the stairs. "You don't get it. None of you do. She's blessed. She can save us all and be the mother of our next generation so we can rise again. He can't keep her. We all need her. She can't be claimed". Jace starts growling and turns to look at the Alpha. The look in his eyes is cold and final showing he is only thinking of killing the prey in his sights. He leaps from the top of the staircase with his tee
