All Chapters of Balance of Light and Shadow: Chapter 101 - Chapter 110

Conrad POVI refuse to let go of Lewana’s hand from that point forward in the afternoon. She keeps sending me a calming aura but I put up barriers to block it as I need to be on alert to protect her. We showed the Sirens to the repurposed swimming pool and the Queen was delighted. Mud masks, soft blue linens on furniture, even arrangments of seashells and saltwater for them to drink. She points to the large hot tub. “I hope it is OK. The main pool has the same mineral content and temperature as the ocean but I wanted to try something with the hot tub. It has a higher magnesium content and higher temperature so it should help with any aches and pains you have from traveling”.The Queen walks over to the hot tub to inspect and cautiously puts a foot in. “I’m sure it will ……. Oh my”.She instantly erupts in her full siren body again and fully immerses herself. The King just looks at his wife with a small smile. “She’s not coming out of that any time soon. You did well little Orca”.Sh

Conrad POVI’m standing in one of my finest suits looking out the window through my reflection. My crown feels even heavier on my head than usual. I’m waiting in the side room of the throne room, waiting for the ceremony to start, and I reflect on everything that has happened over the past three weeks.Darlina was brought for marriage at 14 to a man twice her age. Brianna not being able to be with her chosen mate and hiding a pregnancy while considering going rogue. Lewana is at constant risk of being taken as a breeder. The fact that raping a pup isn’t a crime. Even how Mary ended up with her ex-mate. I was so focused on rejoining the modern world and rebuilding the werewolf empire that I neglected basic rights because I never considered them. Because I never knew she-wolf rights were so violated. I just assumed most Alpha's looked after them like I did and that the Werewolf rights covered them. I’m a proud person but I will admit when I was wrong, but as I stare at my reflection I

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

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

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
