Chapter 35
Conrad POV
Since Lewana and I kissed I have been doing everything I can to try and spend alone time with he desperately need to hold her again but she is avoiding me. Jace has been helping me wirk at what are my feelings and what are hers as I am feeling everything. I don’t think she knows I can feel her emotions and 1 have no plans on telling her in case she works out to block them.
I can feel her confusion but also a desire for closeness again. I decided to give her a day or two to try and process what she wants before I seek her out as I need her closeness as well. In the meantime, I have a lot of pack business to sort out. And first on the agenda. Arthur.
Liam comes into my office promptly with some pack files as asked. “Here is everything we have on him.
“Great. Tell me what you know“.
“Well for starters he is Alpha Blake’s Beta. Apparently, something happened at the pack where Arthur lost it and rejected him. No details on what that was though. Even asking some of the pack members who trust us now don’t know. After the rejection, Arthur had his rank stripped and was sent to work in the forced
labour camp. Never mated and no pups“.
I just growl, “Well he is claiming Lewana is. Any connection to her mother“.
“No. Only connection is that they were both in the same pack“.
Liam looks at me thoughtfully before speaking again. “Whatever happened must have been pretty bad for a Beta to reject his Alpha. I have never heard of that happening before“.
“I know“. I think hard about how I am going to deal with this situation. “What is his status in the pack“.
Liam sighs. “That’s another issue. He is a holdout. He was started on the 90–day choice to join this pack or request to join another. If he does neither, he will be a rouge“.
“If that happens. Lewana might leave with him“. This just keeps getting worse. “And how are our boarders doing. Any updates on the rouges“.
“We have seen an increase in activity just past the territory boundary“.
“Fuck. They know she’s here“.
“How do you want to proceed with this“. Liam looks at me with pure confidence in his expression. He knows what I have to do, even if I don’t want to do it.
“Go get Arthur. More eyes on Lewana the better so if I have to play nice with him, I will do it for her.
I wait in my office and as soon as I see Arthur walk into the office, I know I am going to need a drink.

Chapter 35
“You called for me Alpha King.
I go to my liquor cabinet pour two glasses of my cheaper whisky and pass one to him.
“I need to talk to you about Lewana and if I’m doing that, it’s not going to be without alenhot“.
He just huffs. “Fair enough. What do you want to talk about“.
“You know I want her as my mate. I know she wants you in her life again. We need to find a way to make both happen without me, wanted to kill you every time you try to guard her from me“.
“Well that is never going to stop happening. She would be better off living a quiet life as an omega rather than in the spotlight as your Queen“.
This guy is already pissing me off. “Rouges already know she is here. They are currently assessing our boarders to try and take her. You honestly think she could survive on her own again. She barely escaped
last time“.
His voice starts increasing in volume to match mine “They found her because of you. If you had left her
alone she would still have her human life“.
“I’m the one that saved her“.
“She is only in danger cause you want to claim her“.
“SHE’S MY MATE. SHE IS MINE TO CLAIM“.
The door suddenly swings open and Liam storms in with an annoyed look on his face.
“You two clearly need a mediator before you start fighting to the death“.
We both just growl and eye each other. The sound of fighting to the death sounds appealing. As neither of us is willing to talk this out Liam takes over.
“Let’s start with the basics and see if we can go from there. You both want to protect Lewana and make her happy, right“.
We both just look at each other before we nod. We are both still eyeing each other up.
“OK then. We all know she is not going to like you fighting. So Arthur, what do want for Lewana“.
He takes a deep breath and stares at the floor. You can hear his voice start to break as he talks. “I want her to have a life where she is safe and loved“.
I gear up to yell at him again when Liam points at me with a look telling me not to start. H
“And you don’t think she can have that with Alpha King“.
es over.

Chapter 35
“How can she. If she becomes Luna Queen every Alpha will know where she is. All her pops will be danger from the same threat she is. She might have to deal with the Alphas that aborted her because of her new status. As an omega, she would be hidden within the packs. Protect and invisible
Liam takes a deep breath. “I get it. I know it is a big risk. But what if Lewana freely chooses that life. What if she decides she wants a life here with Conrad for whatever reason maybe. Would you support her in that
decision“.
Arthur thinks about it and turns to glare at me. “I would. But it has to be completely her decision. No manipulation, no buying affection, no false promises because if you do, I will use my last breath to kill
you‘.
I just laugh. “We are both willing to die for her. One thing we can agree on“.
