Chapter 71

Cordelia POVThis first week was a disaster. Conrad and I had the most amazing date where I told him all about how I would be the best Luna Queen and the amazing life we would have as high-status wolves. Daddy made sure I got all the votes to prove I'm the best, but he is still hanging around with that worthless tramp. Even after she ruthlessly attacked me in the kitchen and shoved me hard to the ground, he stood by her. He’s now spending even more time with her and if I want to see him, I have to book an appointment like a commoner. I have done this twice with the incompetent gamma and he said it was declined. I demanded to speak to someone else in charge but he said the only person above him was Conrad. I need to get rid of her as she is ruining everything. I’ve threatened her and she didn’t back off. I've had extra time with Conrad at dinners and he keeps leaving me. I even sent that stupid Alpha from our lands to seduce her yesterday so Conrad knows she is a worthless whore, and

Lewana POVToday is the day Conrad has all of his scheduled dates with the candidates. I wait around as I know Cordelia is first and he is going to need to see me afterwards. That's when I will tell him my plan. Unfortunately, he is not going to like it. He’s horrified when I tell him. "What do you mean you are going into the forest unescorted?" I remain calm and try to explain. "You heard Princess Rose. She wants to talk to me. She’s not going to talk freely if I have someone with me." "Then you're not going. You remember the rogue army right? The one that attacked us and tried to take you a few days ago?" I look at him with loving eyes and I can understand his panic and see the fear beneath his. "Shadow. I am going to stay within the territory. I will avoid being close to any boundaries and I will stay in contact. Also Rose has her own ways of protecting me as well." I give him a kiss on the lips and make the promise, "I will always come back to you, Shadow". I turn and walk of

Chapter 73

Trigger Warning - Mention of child abuseLewana POV The house feels empty today. At least I think it's the house. It might just be me that feels empty. Conrad is out for the day so the council has scheduled my interview. I know they purposely booked it for when he was out of the house so he wasn’t here to support me. To make me more vulnerable. I was waiting outside feeling the anxiety rise in me as I knew this was going to be brutal. I know they called it an interview but I knew mine would be an interrogation. And I had to be polite about it. Donovan walks up to me, all smiles, but I know he's playing a part. “Lady Lewana. The council will see you now”.I walk in and instantly see all four pairs of judging eyes staring at me. Staring at me like I was a waste of space in their perfect world so they had to destroy me. I had to hold my head up high as I had to do this. I had to prove I could stand up to them. Alpha Anthony is the first to speak. “Lady Lewana. As you know the council

Chapter 74

Conrad POV Lewana's interview was about to start. I had left for the fake meeting but came back through the forest and through my study window with the help of Liam and Sherman. I decided not to tell Lewana that I was in the house and listening because if anything gave it away, I would never know what the council was trying to do. I would never find out how they would truly treat her. Nightstalker had installed cameras with audio in the room that feedback to my laptop. This way, I had a clear recording if they tried to deny anything later or tried to play it off as a misunderstanding. As I listened, I became more horrified. They were blaming her for the abuse. They were treating all of her best attributes as burdens. They even said she would be an awful mother. That's when he said it. Alpha Williams's voice, was clear as day. “I know she is lying about the abuse. An Alpha I know was one of her suitors and he recounted her joyful moans when he visited”.The sound of their laughter

Chapter 75

Lewana POVI wake up the next morning safe in Conrad's arms. I ran out of tears and passed out from exhaustion in the living room and he must of carried me to his bed to protect me for the night. I woke early and went to sit by the window to watch the sunrise. I was only up about ten minutes when I started to feel Conrad's panic rising at not feeling me in the bed next to him. "It's OK, Shadow. I'm just over here." He wakes up with a scowl across his face. He stomps over to me, picks me up as if I weigh nothing, and takes me back to bed like a child who has lost their cuddly toy."I wasn't going anywhere. I was just thinking about everything we have to do today." He instantly starts to protest. "You left the bed. That means you went somewhere." I lay in silence and keep thinking about today. Conrad eventually looks down at me in the bed with a concerned look. "Are you worried about today?" "Just a lot can go wrong. Look how yesterday went." Conrad pulls closer for a cuddle. "I w

Chapter 76

Conrad POVAfter the educational session with Lewana, Liam and I went straight to work. If this was a test, and by the sounds of it the balance of the world was at stake, I had to ace it. When the study door shuts, Liam instantly turns to me with his game face on. "OK. So what do we know?" "They are nature creatures so assuming a good topic of discussion would be things like protecting the forest in our territory, green energy projects, our eco-farming." "I also know Lewana had ordered vegan food and a family-style setting with no servants. If they truly did refuse to leave the forest, they are probably a very self-reliant close community so it will probably be more like a dinner with Mary." I agreed. "Right. What do you think I should wear? Don't think a three-piece suit will fit with the nature theme. Will need to be more casual." "Agreed. And go barefoot as Lewana most likely will. I will check with Mish what she is wearing so you can have something that will make you match" A

Chapter 77

Lewana POVWhile the mostly polite conversation is happening at the other end of the table, I start to hear strange noises that don't belong in a forest. Very light footsteps and hushed whispers. But many of them. Not a rogue attack. Something else. Conrad instantly picks up on my changed expression and notices I am listening to something. "What is it, Lewana?" That is when I hear the tiny voice and I can’t help the smile that crosses my face. "Apologies, your Highnesses. We appear to have a minor security breach. It appears that a pack of pups are out pass curfew and are trying to sneak up on us from the south. They are trying to see if the beautiful fairy princess is real or if we made it up."Rose instantly lights up at this compliment. Faes always admire the innocence of children which is why they tend to show themselves to younger generations. Cordelia starts clawing at Conrad's arm again while overspeaking everyone at the table again. "Well, MY Alpha King will stay here and

Chapter 78

Lewana POV We finish dinner and say our goodbyes to the Faes. Cordelia continued to be insufferable the rest of the night but, as Azalea was leaving she whispered as we hugged that she approved of Conrad. Florian was still unconvinced but he always takes longer to come around to change. I’m walking back through the house to bed when Arthur mind-links me.“Lewana, Brianna snuck out the back of the house. She is running towards the gardens.”During a meeting with Arthur a few days ago, I asked him to keep an eye on Brianna. Turns out Mary was right, as usual, and he just wanted to be in my life somehow and support me so we have been working on that. The benefit to this is that everyone has been keeping an eye on me and my movements, but no one will suspect the old man of spying. “Thanks. Keep an eye on her at a distance and I will meet you there.”I race on over and meet him at the entrance of the flower garden. I hadn’t been here since I last saw my mother. When I see Arthur he quick

Chapter 79

Conrad POVIt’s the day of the elimination ceremony and I know it’s going to be a risky day. I know I have to keep fighting cause I know what is at stake. I just hope with all the announcements I have to make, this whole situation gets resolved quickly. I’m getting ready for the ceremony and I’m in a royal suit with my crown, waiting in the side chambers. Liam comes in. “We are all set. Hallways clear. Extra soldiers in the house and pack members confined in the compound”.“Great. Let’s just hope we can get this done with as little bloodshed as possible”.I walk into the throne room as the regal trumpets play. I take a seat and start the proceedings. Donovan comes forward. “We the council, have conducted the interviews with the candidates and have composed a list in order of who will be most suited for Luna Queen. Lady Cordelia, Lady Brianna, Lady Valerie, and very last, Lady Lewana. We give this information to help your Highness find the most suitable mate and Luna Queen for us all

Chapter 80

Lewana POVThe tension in the house is thick. Conrad and I flank Briana and Kane as we walk them to the east wing with our Beta's on either side. Once settled, we check on the pack. The soldiers roamed the house heavily armed making all the guests nervous. Most have retreated to their rooms to avoid the Alpha King's wrath. That's not going to stop him. I go back upstairs and gently knock on the door. I enter to see Lady Brianna curled up on the bed in Kane's arms. "How are you feeling". She sits in silence trembling in her mate's arms. I keep trying to reassure her. "Sorry, but it was the only way we could keep you safe". In a small timid voice, she asks, "What do you mean". "Well, if we let you run away in two days you would be considered rogues like I was. If you were to go overseas, it's unlikely you would be accepted as you both have the Alpha gene. You would be deemed a threat. If we spoke to your parents, they could have used any contact they had in the house to separate yo
