Conrad POVIf this delusional psychopath doesn't release my mate in the next ten seconds, I'm going to shatter his wrist. I know Lewana can tell I'm seething, but she is holding herself together. Lewana is talking softly to him, but I can tell it is getting a lot for her, so I stand next to her for support and protection. This makes Donovan grip her hand harder and start panicking. "Luna Queen. You have to stay and discuss how to save Malik with me. Conrad is irrelevant now. You already carry the bloodline. Make him leave and stay so we can plan". She stays calm, but I can see her hand going white as he grips harder. He might be restrained, but he is still dangerous, so I grab his wrist ready to break it. Lewana speaks to him softly. "I understand, Donovan. But you said we have three days, right? I need to go eat or feed the pups to make sure they are well, and then we can talk more". He releases her hand just enough so her blood flow returns. "You will come back and discuss th

Conrad POV I had to shut off the bond from Lewana completely. If I felt her feel a shred of fear or anxiety in our mate bond, Jace was coming out at full power and killing Donovan. I don't care if the rational thing to do is to get information; he's still a threat. I'm working in one of the rooms that has a view of the medical centre, so I can at least keep a visual check on the medical centre and see when she leaves. While she is talking to Donovan, I call the other members of the guardians. The Faes can travel through their own realm, and Phoenix's can fly in. That just leaves the Sirens. Due to the importance of the attack, the Faes have permitted them to travel through the Fae realm for their safety. They all agree to be here tomorrow with their military, so we can plan for the night after. I watch out the window and see Arthur sounding an airhorn. The first practice on evacuating to the pack house. It's something we probably should have done a while ago. The current plan has

Conrad POV This is the most important meeting of my life. I have already decided that I don’t care if I die during this war. Lewana is so strong and resilient that she can make it without me, and my pups will continue the lineage. Donovan was right about two things. I’m irrelevant during this war, and she is everything. Prince Eli is the first to start talking. “What's the plan so far?”“For the next three nights, the pack will sleep in the pack house. The wolves will be guarding this with the humans. Eli, if you agree, the Phoenix’s will man the border. Your warriors will patrol in bird form, allowing you to sound the alert when we are attacked without being noticed. Sirens and Faes man the lake and forest to feed information back to us so we can work out what location we need to attack. Once we have a direction, team one of all groups will go on the attack while others stay to defend. The main target will be Malik, so if anyone can take him out, they do it”.The whole room slowly

Conrad POVShe fought going to sleep so much. I know she wants to stay awake and protect everyone, but she is more valuable when well-rested, as we will need her in battle tonight. Not to mention better for the pregnancy. I mind-link the medic waiting outside the door and move to shield her from the eyes of the others. The medic injects the mild tranquillizer into her leg to make sure she stays asleep for at least a few hours. "She is going to be so mad at you when she wakes up". I turn and see Aalto staring at me in disbelief. I pull her closer. "Better she is mad at me today than dead tomorrow". I don't even look at the others as I leave. I carry her straight to our room and place her into bed like the fragile object I have ever held. I roll her to her side and put her pregnancy pillow under her belly, the way she likes, and tuck her in. I kiss her gently on the head and whisper to her. "I just need you to rest, Moonlight. I will be back shortly to hold you. I just need to do

Conrad POV Lewana and I decided beforehand that I would lead the battle so she could focus on Malik. As soon as he launched his attack, I was ready. The enemy wolves charged across the plains towards, and I call out to Connor. "Are they all black with shadow?". He replies very bluntly. "Yep". I use my earpiece to contact Prince Eli and Princess Rose. "Launch first attack". Every wolf on the front line raises their weapons as a distraction as the Phoenix flies silently into the air. They deploy the gas canisters attached to their legs and release the wolfsbane gas. The enemy starts panicking as soon as they breathe it in, looking around to work out what is going on. They start gasping more and more, suffocating as their lungs start to burn.Others start to run to the side to escape through the forest, but we anticipated this. The Faes put up a barrier of vines so they can't get through and succumb to the gas more easily. Even by the flame torches we have going for light, you ca
