Semua Bab Balance of Light and Shadow: Bab 131 - Bab 140

Lewana POVNearly 38 hours I have been on the go for now. Liam is still struggling. A few pack members have slowed down in healing since my plasma has been used up, and I am exhausted. I end up sleeping in the medical centre so I am nearby in case any patients walk in. Thankfully, I'm not woken up. I rise on my own at about 6 am. I shower at the medical centre and change into a new set of scrubs I keep on standby. I then go check on Liam, who is awake too. "How are you feeling today?". "Better. Still in a bit of pain but OK". I checked his gums, and he is still anemic, but it will have to do for now.I'm about to continue when Mary comes in. "I'm so sorry, Luna Queen. I will come back". "No matter my title, you can still call me Lewana. You can stay if Liam wants you to". He nods, and she goes over and takes his hand. "So, we need to talk about eating again". Liam's face lights up. "I could go for a steak with cookies afterwards". "Not. A. Chance. Clear fluids only today. Wat

Conrad POVI need to get everything back on track. I don’t care if there is a prophecy about me. I don't care about my legacy. I only care about my future. When we find out, it won’t change anything. Lewana will still be my Luna Queen.I have spoken to Valerie and she has found a replacement. An Elder Alpha whose son is now running their pack. He will be here in two days. Sworn in next, and the ceremony the day after that. Only Valerie, Liam, and Arthur are aware of this plan. I need to make sure there isn’t another attack to prevent Lewana from getting the crown this time. I'm still not convinced there isn't an enemy in my house that told the rogues the ceremony date. How else would they have known? I go to bed that night and just hold my girl close. I'm going to be on edge until she wears my mark. She is going to be in danger until she is announced. The best form of protection I can give her is the crown, so the sooner it happens, the better. I have a busy few days to make sure th

Conrad POV Jace is riled up within me like he never has been before. The naked body tries to edge closer to me for affection as she giggles, such a piercing sound, it feels like needles are covering my body. I put my hand around her throat and squeeze until the noise stops. "What the hell are you doing in my bed, Cordelia?". She struggles against the pressure. "We spent the night together, remember. We made love. You chose me". I start scenting her and use my full Lycan ability to confirm. She smells nothing like me. Just a slight coating of being in my bed, but nothing of me. "LIAR". I threw her out of the bed, and she landed in a heap on the floor. I let out a deafening roar, and she screamed back in terror. She was sobbing with fear and holding her hands out, pleading with me. "You asked me to spend the night with you. We made love. Don't you remember?". I race over to her and wrap my hand around her throat again. I squeeze harder this time and watch her face start to turn

Willow POV It's late at night. The sun set hours ago, but since Lewana went missing, since she was taken, I knew I would sleep tonight. Conrad had given me a month to find something, anything, about fated months and blessed wolves, and now I had to look up a legacy prophecy.I had found nothing helpful. Nothing useful. With all the data I had, it was on the tip of my tongue. I had all the pieces to a puzzle, but still couldn't see the picture. It was infuriating. Prince Eli had started helping me in the library. It was helpful having another being who could translate languages. Especially Latin. His mum taught him as she was alive when it was spoken. What I could do without was his constant criticism. "Your order to this makes no sense. It would have been better to skim a lot of this and then focus on the details later". How dare he question my methods and skills? "If you do that, you just end up doing twice the work, as you have to read everything twice. It's better to do it rig

Conrad POV I turned to the small, quiet voice coming from the doorway and saw the woman who had always looked after me. Her eyes were full of worry, and Arthur led her into the room with a comforting hand. I'm confused. "Mary, how do you know about any of this?". "When I told you about my life before Liam's pack. It was at Alpha Leroy's pack. That's where I was born. My mother was your grandmother's nanny as a child and later became her head maid. I grew up with your Grandmother and was being trained to be a nanny to her or other Alpha pups. It wasn't a mistake that she ended up at Liam's pack. She came to find me". I collapse into a chair and look around. I had always trusted Mary, as she had kept this secret from me the entire time she knew me. "How. How did you get her out? Why did you let her suffer so long if you knew where she was?". "I'm part of a secret order called the Order of Light. We use coded sentences to send messages between packs at the borders. As omegas are th
