Conrad POVAll the alpha’s from the council file into my study. Heads held high and arrogance radiating off them. They knew this was coming and they didn’t care.As soon as Liam closed the door, I unleashed on them.“I TOLD YOU ALL I WAS NOT DOING THIS AND YOU WENT BEHIND MY BACK ANYWAY”. My Alpha aura was fully up and my eyes glowing gold as I stared daggers into them.Alpha Anthony just looks at me smugly and speaks very calmly and matter-of-fact. “We told you it was a council decision and we voted for it after you decided to leave the council meeting before the vote”.Alpha Angus chimes in as backup. “Even without your vote it was 5 to 1 so we went ahead. All the she-wolves have been brought here for the party and will be introduced to you tomorrow. You can pick your Luna from them”.I look to the other two who just stare at the floor. Of course, the two weaklings backed them up in the vote but remain silent now.“Cancel this whole thing now and get out of my house tonight”.Alpha A

Conrad POVLiam came and told me what Donovan had said. He even mentioned he stated I was considering trying him for treason. Honestly not a bad idea at this point. To my relief, he said Michelle had done something to upset Cordelia and she would be in her room for the rest of the day so it was safe for me to leave my room. I was still going to avoid everyone else though. If this thing lasts a month then it is going to be nothing but sucking up to me the entire time. I decided to go check on the medical center which is already a construction site. I had secured a very large workforce by paying extra and they stated they could have most of the work completed in a week and the extension completed in two weeks. We moved everything needed for medical care over to a mobile unit set up that we take with us on missions leaving the center empty. This meant work could happen faster.We already had a large building that was only two years old so most of the work was painting, new floors, new li

Conrad POV I wake in the morning with a profound sense of dread washing over me. I essentially have to survive three dates with stuck-up, entitled she-wolves who all want me when I’m not interested in them. This is one of the reasons I dislike dating so much, as it's just them giving me compliments and explaining why they think they would make a great Luna Queen. First up is morning tea with Darlina. Alpha Angus's granddaughter from the north. I have redirected all my pack jobs to Liam for the next two days while I get through this process. He says he is happy to as he has wanted me to find a Luna for years but I still owe him for it. I grab and random suit again for the day and head to the table out on the terrace. Darlina is waiting for me so I take a deep breath and join her to get this over and done with. When I arrive she bows to me. “Good morning Alpha King. I hope you slept well&rd

Conrad POVI woke up in a better mood today. I have a date with Briana at morning tea, and then I have Lewana all to myself for the afternoon. Honestly more relieved that Cordelia is out of the way. I go through my suits and opt to go more casual today. Lewana doesn’t like all the fancy stuff either and I want to be ready for her.I have breakfast in my room again as I am avoiding the pack kitchen like the plague as I know Cordelia is constantly looking for me. The Alphas are constantly trying to suck up also. It's making the pack and the pack house feel very tense and uncomfortable to be in. Have to keep remembering to keep the peace and they will eventually start leaving. After breakfast, I go to the balcony and see Briana waiting for me. She is a wolf in her mid-20s with dark blonde hair like Jace. She is just staring at the floor when I arrive which throws me off as the other candidates have been greeting me.I look down at her with concer

Conrad POVI go into the banquet hall and I’m greeted with dinner, Alpha Anthony, Alpha Angus, and Councilman Donovan. Well, this was going to be a trap.Alpha Anthony greets me with a fake smile. “So glad you could join us for dinner Alpha King”.I glare at Cordelia who is looking very proud of herself.In a low growl and just glare at them. “Why am I here”.Alpha Angus just smirks. “We have a few things to discuss about the candidates and it will be better to do that over dinner. Don’t you think”.Of course, the only two seats are next to each other so I have to sit next to Cordelia. I have to start practicing that backbone. When I sit, she moves close to me and tries to hug my arm. I instantly pull away.“You’ll grow to love Cordelia's open affection my Alpha King. It's great to see you getting along”. Alpha Anthony just smiles.“Actually I find her incredibly annoying”. Everyone just laughs and makes jokes about how all women can be annoying.Alpha Angus starts asking questions. “H
