All Chapters of Balance of Light and Shadow: Chapter 131 - Chapter 140

Lewana POVFor nearly 38 hours, I have been on the go. 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 center, so I am nearby in case any patients need me.Thankfully, I'm not woken up. I rise on my own at about 6 am.I shower at the medical center and change into a new set of scrubs that I keep on standby. I then go check on Liam, who is awake too.I approach the bed and ask him, "How are you feeling today?"He croaks back. "Better. Still in a bit of pain but okay." I checked his gums, and he is still anemic, but it will have to do.I'm about to continue when Mary comes in. "I'm so sorry, Luna Queen. I will come back."I grimace at her using the title. "No matter my title, you can still call me Lewana. You can stay if Liam wants you to."He nods, and she goes over to his side and takes his hand.I continue my assessments. "So, we need to talk about eating again."Liam's face

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 what it is, it won't change anything. Lewana will still be my Luna Queen.I have spoken to Valerie, and she has found a replacement to represent the East. 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 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 as Luna Queen. The best form of protection I can give her is the crown, so the sooner it happens, the bette

Conrad POVJace is riled up within me with an intensity I have never felt before. The naked body next to me tries to edge closer for affection as she giggles. It's such a piercing sound, it feels like needles piercing my body. I put my hand around her throat and squeezed 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 smelling her, using my full Lycan abilities to confirm. She smells nothing like me, just a slight coating of being in my bed, but nothing of me.I scream at her. "LIAR!"I threw her out of the bed, and she landed in a heap on the floor. When I let out a deafening roar, she screamed back in terror.She was sobbing with fear as she held her hands out, pleading with me. "You asked me to spend the night with you! We made love! Don't you remember?"I race around the bed and wrap my hand around her throat again. I squeeze harder this time as

Willow POVIt's late at night, the sun having set hours ago, but since Lewana went missing, correction: since she was taken, I knew I wouldn't sleep tonight. Conrad had given me a month to find something, anything, about fated mates and blessed wolves, and now I had to research a legacy prophecy. I had found nothing useful. With all the data I had, the answer was within reach. 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 nice having another being who could translate languages, especially Latin. His mum had taught him, as she was alive when it was spoken. I could do without his constant criticism though.He snaps at me from across the room. "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 everythi

Conrad POVI turned toward 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 on her shoulder.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 I was being trained to be a nanny for her 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, but 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.
