Conri…Conri could not sleep that night, he was tossing and turning and eventually just gave up on the idea of sleeping. He took a long hot shower and went downstairs to get something to eat. It was still dark outside, and it was very quiet in the house. No one was awake yet and Conri enjoyed the peace and quiet. He had so much to think about, he was not sure where to begin…He made himself a few sandwiches and went to eat in on the porch. The air was still crisp, and he loved the early morning dew smell. In the distance he could see a few of his pack members getting ready to patrol. He sat down and took a few bites. He really was very fortunate, and he has worked hard to build his empire. He had the largest pack in the Northern Europe, and he felt proud of each wolf that was part of his pack. He could not have asked for better. He knew they needed a Luna, and he was working on that…Tala might not be ready to take on such a big responsibility, and she still has so much to learn, but

Tala…As she and Conri walked back in silence, she wrapped the blanket tighter around her. She felt self-conscious and she took a side glance at Conri. Tala could see the way he walked, he had authority, all the other wolves respected him. As they walked through the camp, Tala could feel a few eyes on her, but for some reason, it felt ok. She could not feel judgement or betrayal or anything that she was used to feeling back at her father’s camp. She knew then that this is where she wanted to be, in this pack, with this Alpha…As they walked over the big lawn, Tala had a good look at the main pack house. It was huge, she has never seen a house this big. She stood still and just took everything in.“Are you ok babes?” Conri asked as he stood next to her, and he possessively put his arm around her small waist.“I have never seen anything so big, so beautiful. This whole place, it’s breath-taking.” Tala said softly as she looked around.“I am very glad you like it. This will be your home

Conri…As he and Tala walked out of the house, his mind was still in his office. He could not stop thinking about what Tala said about Sheila. He has a suspicious feeling yesterday as well regarding her ware bouts with the Shadow Moon pack. She always seemed to know what was going on over there. He frowned as they walked down the steps and onto the grass, his gaze running over the fields, looking for Marcus.“Are you ok Conri?” he felt Tala’s small hand on his forearm as she spoke to him.“Yes, it’s just bugging me what you said earlier. I had the strange feeling as well yesterday that she is hiding something.”“I am sorry, I know you have known her for a long time, and she is a part of your pack.”“I could always trust her…” Conri’s voice trailed off as he spotted Marcus in the distance.“Come on, there is Marcus. Let’s go and talk to him.”Conri and Tala walked over to Marcus. It was already dark outside, and the fires were burning. Most of his pack were already starting to relax an

Conri…Conri woke up the next morning and he looked over to Tala. He still could not believe she was here, his Luna, The Moon Princess… She was in his bed, and she was all his. He knew she still needed to get to know herself, who she really was, but so far, so good. She looked so peaceful, and he slowly pulled his arm from underneath her head as he did not want to wake her.He sat up and checked his phone. There were a few messages from Marcus, updates on what happened during the night. There was another suspicious event and Conri could not help but immediately think about Sheila.He was not sure exactly what she might be capable of, and he had to confess that it made him nervous, when she was getting so involved with the Shadow Moon Pack. He really hoped that all these acts had nothing to do with their enemy…He replied to Marcus and said he will come down and see him in a while, and they can discuss the nights events. In that moment, Tala stirred and rolled over next to him, and the

Conri…Conri did not sleep at all that night. He kept watch over Tala to make sure she was ok. He looked up at the window when the first ray of sunlight crept through. He looked at his watch and it was just after 6. He could feel he was struggling to keep his eyes open, and he called Marcus. Not long, and there was a soft knock on the door.Conri walked over and opened the door, and walked out, closing the door behind him softly.“Morning Marcus, anything else happened during the night?”“No, we still have not found her.”“Ok, thanks. I need you to please stay by Tala for a while. I just need to close my eyes for an hour or two. I need to try and keep my strengths up.”“Did you get any sleep Conri?” Marcus asked concerned.“No.” Came the short reply.“Ok, I will keep watch for as long as you need me to. She will be safe with me, I promise you.”“I know, you are the only one I trust with her. Please keep her safe. I am just going to lie down in one of the other bedrooms.”“Sure, you ne
