Chapter 25
Conrad POV
I never should have gone to see Alpha Blake. I came back to the pack house covered in his blood. I didn’t even realize that because it was on my hands, I had put blood over my face and through my hair. I went straight into the shower and when I got out, Liam was there waiting with scotch. I told him everything.
“Wait. So he confirmed and your dad knew that Eve is your true mate“.
“HER NAME IS LEWANA“. I threw the glass and it shattered against the wall.
Liam just sat there frozen and stared at me trying to think of what to say. “I know“. He pauses and looks at me. “How does it feel that she not here“.
“Like my soul has left my body and there is no reason to breathe“. I just stare at him feeling numb. “How will she ever love me after what I did to her“. 1
“By remembering what you told her about her mother. It’s not your fault and the blame lies solely with Alpha Blake and your dad. You’ll get through this. We always do“. I don’t know where I would be without Liam
Liam looked at me with a worried expression. “I hate to remind you but the council will be here in two
days. You need to get it together by then“.
Shit, he was right. He agreed to take over for the rest of the week under the premise of me preparing for the meeting. I basically just had to push everything down and try and power through without her here. I would have to work it out later.
Once a month the council convenes. The North, South, East and West representatives come to the Royal Moon pack to debate about a bunch of stuff. I’m is always on edge this week as it is important it goes well to avoid future conflicts.
I have decided to alert them that I plan on employing Willow and Kimberly on a trial basis despite the fact they are human. More of a notification than a discussion topic. Don’t want the other Alphas to think I’m hiding something or employing humans over wolves. Also need to mention Alpha Blake’s capture and press for a speedy trial so I can kill him.
Councilman Donovan, the head of the counsel acts more royal than I ever do during this week. For him, it is his week to shine as he is in charge of running processions and organisation. I’m aware he is a complete kiss ass but if it gets him to do the job well, I don’t really care.
Alpha Angus, the north councilman is the oldest representatives in his 70’s. His son now runs his pack and his son is almost ready to take over. He is very much the traditionalist and believes in the old way. The northern lands are mainly forest and has a very large lumber industry.
Alpha William from the south has two brothers and they are running separate packs while he is on the council. The southern packs live more dispersed among humans and to have jobs in the human world. He is
probably to most forward thinking one if he could ever find his voice.
Alpha Ethan from the West is the newest and still finding his feet. He seems quite fearful of Alpha Angus as he is friends with his father who still runs the pack. The packs there mainly live in mountain ranges and- mine gold.
Alpha Antony is my biggest problem. The east has the most packs as part of the Alpha alliance. This makes him think he is the most important and should have more say. He mainly focuses on what gives him more power. He is still the Alpha of his pack but keeps telling me he is going to hand power to his son but there are always delays.
The biggest issue with Alpha Antony is he keeps bringing his pain–in–the–ass daughter Cordelia. She is an absolute spoiled brat and peruses me very hard. She is always all over me and telling me what a great Luna she would make but honestly, she is so fake she just repulses me.
“Hey, handsome“. Speak of the devil.
“Hi, Cordelia“.
“I missed you soooo much. A month between visits is to much for me. Maybe I should come visit between meetings and we can spend some quality time together“. She’s trying to sound sexy but goddess it’s
already annoying.
“I don’t think about you once when you’re not here. In fact, I look forward to when you leave“. I’m always rude and blunt to her and hope she will get the message eventually.
“Why do you always play hard to get. I know you want me“. She saunters over and starts trying to stroke my arm before I pull it away.
“I don’t and never have“.
“I know once you have me you will never want to leave me. Give in and have a taste“.
“Never going to happen“. I push her away and start leaving for the meeting.
“Is this because you whining over that stupid rouge bitch I’ve heard about“.
I rush over to her, push her up against the wall by her neck, and growl at her with my Alpha eyes on full
show.
“You ever call her that again. I will have you permanently banned from coming to the Royal Moon Pack“.
She starts with the fake tears and/whimpering. “I’m sorry my Alpha King. I was only thinking about what is
best for“.
She pulling this stupid puppy expression but I just throw her to the floor. I storm out of the room knowing I’m going to have to speak to Alpha Anthony about this later as well. I will not tolerate anyone showing my girl or there future Queen disrespect.
