Lahat ng Kabanata ng Balance of Light and Shadow: Kabanata 121 - Kabanata 130

Alpha Anthony POV I woke up this morning, and know I have 24 more hours until that conniving mutt arrives back at the house. I only have until then to work out a way to save myself and my beloved Cordelia. I’m not being downgraded to just an Alpha again, and I’m not giving the title to my pathetic son. He believes in all this bullshit that Conrad spews about being equal to humans and working with them. They are so far beneath me that they should already be dead and buried. This is why Cordelia has always been my favorite pup. She is just as ruthless as I am. She knows it’s all about winning in this world and stopping at nothing until we get it.This is why she will be Luna Queen. With her at the top, we would be unstoppable. This is why it is going to happen no matter what. I heard that Alpha William was arrested and detained overnight. There’s no way that dim-witted coward won’t sing like a bird the first chance he gets. He has some brains but no spine, which is why he was so easy

Lewana POVI wake up on the last day at the cabin. This is the first time I have woken before Conrad. I get up and walk around my little sanctuary. I know that in a few hours, we will be back in the middle of all the drama, but tomorrow is the finale. Tomorrow, he can officially choose me with the backing of the council to be Luna Queen. Was I even ready for that? I try to push the thought out of my mind, and as soon as the cold sends shivers through my body, I instantly want to be next to Conrad's body warmth. I head back to bed and try to get back in without him noticing me. He was clearly half awake as he instantly grabbed me and pulled my back against his defined body. "I always notice when you leave Moonlight. You should know that". He starts kissing me against my neck, and I can feel him growing harder against my hip. He starts to tease my nipples, making them instantly hard, and he slides his cock so it rubs against my folds, making me instantly soaked. "I love it when you

Conrad POV I start briefing the guards and soldiers on the plan. I'm leading the north west side, and Liam is leading the south east. The fact that they surround our territory at such a distance that we didn't detect them means that it's clear they are going to give it everything they've got, as this will be their last chance to get what is ours. Prince Eli the Phoenix Prince and Prince Aalto the Siren jackass come to our aid as well. “What do you want us to do?". "I have no idea what a Phoenix is actually capable of, but assuming it means lots of fire. Go East with Liam, as it is all open plains, so you can show them what you can do. Prince Aalto. Come with me, North. The lake is up that way, and I assume you need water". Before I have even left, Prince Eli is in the air, flying and creating a flame barrier on the ground. I can also hear the rumbling of trucks coming from a distance. I wait to see if my trap for that zone has worked. BOOOMLewana mind-links me. "What was that? T

Conrad POVI'm completely numb. I might have lost my brother today. I haven't been able to mark my mate today. I failed to keep the pack safe today. I was drowning in their sorrow and fear, so I had to turn the bond links off. I'm standing in the viewing area of the operating theatre, looking at Valen, my best friend, on the table, just knowing he isn't going to survive this. No one could survive the injuries that rogue caused. My mate. My beautiful Moonlight is still going to try. Try to save him for me, but even then, the pack is in ruins. I'm not a fit Alpha. I'm not a fit King. All I can think about is yesterday when we left the cabin. How I had never been happy. Life had been simple there. Life with just my mate and me. Why did I have to keep fighting? Why do I have to bear the weight of this world? It's too tiring. I'm jolted from my thoughts by Mary coming in the door and her eyes going wide at seeing Valen on the table. She instantly starts praying to the Moon Goddess, but

Conrad POVHer blood. She gave her actual blood to Liam. Not to mention the plasma she gave to the other pack members. I'm just in awe. I send the mind-link to Mary and Michelle before I start talking to Liam. However, I have no idea what to say. Liam speaks to me first. “How close, …… how close was I”.“I felt your bond nearly snap. When I found you on the battlefield, your breathing had slowed, and your heart had nearly stopped. We were so convinced that you were going to die, the soldiers and I said goodbye to you”. The realisation seemed to hit him suddenly, and he started crying and laughing. “And she saved me. She actually managed to save me”. He is wincing in pain as he does, but he can’t help himself. I start laughing as well. “I know, right? I mean, if you needed time off, you could have asked. You didn’t have to be so dramatic about it”.“Well, at least I can rest assured that your girl won’t try to replace me. Probably just keeping me around to have breaks from you, you
