Liam POV

I sprint down the hall, bursting through the study doors. Conrad is standing at his office window, staring at the moon, lost in thought again, when he turns to look at me in surprise.

“Michelle just texted me. Eve is home safe”.

“Oh, thank the moon Goddess”.

You can literally see the wave of relief that passes over him. He then collapses into the chair and looks at the ceiling with the relief turning to sadness.

“She won’t come here, will she? Otherwise you would have said”.

“Eve has agreed”.

A massive smile spreads across his face. He’s so excited you can practically see Jace’s tail wagging like a puppy through his eyes.

“She’s giving us a chance”.

“Seems like it”.

This look of happiness quickly changes to one of panic when the realisation of what we have agreed to sets in. He instantly goes into micromanager mode.

“We have only have two days to prepare and have so much to do. We have to alert all the pack members of what is happening. They have to accept th

    Eve POVI started to slowly wake up. I just lay in bed with my eyes closed, feeling the warmth of the blankets on my legs, the still sound of the room, the warm relaxed feeling that’s running through my body as if a warm light is flowing in my veins. I haven’t slept this well in ages.I can feel a warm comforting body next to me as they slowly stroke my hair. It takes me a while to realize I don’t recognize the body I’m next to. I open my eyes and see Conrad looking down at me. “Hey, beautiful”. I leap out of the bed with a scream.He starts to panic and talking rapidly. “It’s Ok. It’s OK. I’m only here cause you wanted me here. Nothing happened”.“I wouldn’t want you here. Why are you in my bed”. I’m furious he would try something like this.“Take some breaths and try and remember this morning. What do you remember”.“I remember going to see my mother and not being able to find her. I was angry. I came to find her….and then it’s all fuzzy”.“Just take some breaths. It will come b

    I took off running from my study, heading straight for my girl. A sense of dread and fear built up inside my chest, as if it was trying to weigh me down and stop me from reaching her. Nothing was going to stop me though. When I entered my girl's room she was thrashing in the bed softly crying no over and over again. I had to get to her as soon as I could. I climbed up the bed from the bottom and crawled to get to her. “It’s OK. It’s OK. I’m here. I’m going to keep you safe from now on”. I start stroking her hair and stroking her face. She starts to calm down and I can see her rapid breathing starting to slow and her body relax. I wonder how many times she has had this nightmare. I wonder how I can protect her from her nightmare. I start to look more closely at her and take in all the delicate features of her face. I can’t help but brush my thumb across her cheek and feel how soft her skin is. The beautiful softness of her face with light pink supple lips. I only look away when I

    Conrad POV I carried my precious girl fast asleep in my arms to her room. I placed her gently down on the bed and cover her in blanket making sure she is warm and comfortable.She has made it to the final day. That’s all I asked of her. I said if she could do that, I would let her go. However, that I had held her in my arms, I knew I couldn’t. How can I get her to stay with me? I gave her a kiss on the head lingering just long enough to smell her intoxicating scent that reminded me of a pine forest after the rain. Calming and pure.I couldn’t stay long though. I turned and headed downstairs as I had work to do. The medics had already been mind-linked to check on Liam and he was OK. A lot of bruising but nothing broken. No training and a few days of light duties and he will be fine. The three ladies were in tears when I arrived in my study. They were clearly worried for their friend. Liam was doing his best to comfort them, but they wanted answers. Now that I know what happened,

  • Balance of Light and Shadow   Chapter 19

    Liam POV We all woke up for breakfast pretty early. The reunion for Eve and her mother had been emotional, so I doubt most of us slept. Conrad and I quickly did the math last night and if she left at about 13 and was in the dungeon for 5 years, it means she was put down there at 8. Who the hell puts a pup in a dungeon. It keeps getting worse the more I learn about this poor wolf. No wonder she hates our kind. Her own kind. Eve wanted to go and see her mother again this morning but we needed her to eat first. We spoke to the pack members looking after her and they admitted they were struggling as she has such a high care need but didn’t want to upset Conrad by admitting it. Conrad mind-linked the medics to check on her and noticed she wasn’t healing well, had some new bed sores, and hadn’t really gained any weight. It was decided she should be moved to the pack house and have round-the-clock care by the medic team. “Eve slow down. You’re going to choke”, Kimberly said in her frus

    Conrad POVJace is growling furiously inside me while I try to contain him. “That bastard better get his hands off our mate if he wants to keep them”. He’s not wrong. When he moved her to shield her from us, I just about lost control until Liam jabbed me in the ribs and reminded me where I was. Arthur looks at Eve and I can tell there is bad news coming. “There something I need to tell you. The royal soilders found her during the raid”. Her face quickly went pale, and she froze as she got a look of pure determination in her eyes. “Where is she?”. “The small pack house on the eastern edge of the compound. The one with the red door”. She spun around and took off running. I immediately took off after her. Even at full pelt, I could barely keep up.I could see Liam follow with the ladies in a golf cart behind us. We use them to get around the pack as they run on batteries, meaning no pollution. They are also convenient for our older wolves to get around the territory.She slowed dow

    We continued the tour to the library next. Mish had warned me to do it last, as Willow is unlikely to leave voluntarily. We walk into the grand room, with half-empty bookshelves and books placed randomly. Most are still in boxes or just randomly on tables. All the artefacts are crammed onto the table, with some very close to the edge.Willow looks like she is about to faint. “THIS IS AWFUL. WHY IS IT SO MESSY AND UNORGANISED?”.I didn’t think she could get this mad. “All this stuff has been collected as we want to show the history of our kind and introduce it to others. Unfortunately, none of us has any idea of how to do that, so we’re just winging it really”.“WINGING IT. THESE ARE PRICELESS ARTEFACTS AND BOOKS THAT SHOULD BE CARED FOR. WHERE IS THE TEAM DOING THIS?”.“Errmm. That’s this other issue. As we have been rejected by the human world, no wolves go to mainstream school because our pups are viewed as acting out and disruptive. After all, they struggle being inside and still.

    Liam POVEve is having so much fun. She’s flipping over them with ease and getting in attack after attack, with each battle ending the same way. The soldier are leaving with their tail between their legs each time. They are starting to get concerned and take this more seriously after the first few lost in less than a minute.She looks over at me, smiling.“If I battle more than one at a time and they win, could they split the money?”.I just smile back. “Sure, they could”.This spurs on another round but she just uses this to knock them off balance and send them flying into one another. She’s smiling about it. I look up and Conrad and he is enjoying the show as well.The girls are on the viewing platform and have formed some sort of cheerleading squad, yelling at every victory.After about 30 minutes of this, and after there are no more challengers, I call it. Eve is the winner. When asked what she will spend the money on, she says she doesn’t want it. I’m just glad she is finally hav

    Conrad POVOnce we got confirmation from the ladies that she had actually eaten and fallen asleep, we went to work in my office. We realised we made a mistake when planning everything as we planned for humans. We assumed she was more human now and would like what the ladies liked, but her behaviour was pure wolf.We got a text telling us she was awake and went to their suite. We knocked so gently, I don’t think they heard us. We were listening outside the door when she finally said her name. Her real name. Lewana.I can’t help but smile at this. I finally knew her real name, and it was so beautiful. The reason for her name fit her perfectly. Every time I learned something about her, I just wanted her to be mine even more.That’s when we knocked loudly on the door. I was trying to gain her trust, and I wasn’t going to get it by eavesdropping.“Come in”, someone called out.“Hello ladies, Just checking in and that you’re all OK”.Lewana looked at me very suspiciously, but quickly looked

  • Balance of Light and Shadow   Chapter 14

    Eve POV I’m up in the suite after breakfast. Well, I didn’t eat as I had to leave. I barely ate last night either. When did I last eat? That doesn’t matter. Why did Conrad start sharing? If he was in the extremist packs, is he hiding his true belief system of obedience? His father knew what I am. Does he? Is that why he is trying to claim me and lull me into false security? I’m pacing against the back wall of my room with all these thoughts running through my mind when the door opens and the girls walk in. Kimberly comes to my door a slowly opens it. “Are you OK, sweetie?”.“Yeah, I’m fine. Let's go on this tour”. I’m still pacing, and my speech is fast. On this tour, I can get the layout so I can get my pack out if needed.“That’s been delayed an hour. Did you sleep last night?”.“Yeah, it was fine”.“Sweetie, I can tell you’re lying. None of us has seen you eat in two days either. Let us help you”.Why can’t they just leave me alone? I’m fine. I’ve been dealing with this for year
