Conrad POV
Last night was literally the best night of my life. I had never experienced a connection like that before. Even just now in the shower, I could feel how much Lewana trusted me and was willing to give me everything. How she felt safe enough with me to tell me her secrets and touch me without fear of it going too far too quickly.
One thing is for sure. I don’t think I can ever shower alone again.
I watch her sleeping peacefully and know I have to drag myself away. I have a pack run tonight. And some serious security
measures to implement.
I practically skip into the kitchen whistling and calling out as I enter.
“Morning Mary“.
Liam who is waiting for me at the table while drinking a coffee raises an eyebrow with a smug look on his face.
“Well, you’re in a good mood“.
“Yes I am. And I have a lot to tell you and organize for tonight“.
“You’re not normally the ‘kiss and tell‘ type“.
“I’m still not but we have other things to discuss“.
Mary places a giant breakfast in front of me. Before I can sit down to dig in, Cordelia walks in.
She talking in her usual whiny tone but nothing is taking down my mood this morning. “Alpha King. We haven’t spent any time together this week. I miss you“.
I look over at Liam in a playful tone. “So that’s why I’m in a good mood“.
Liam lets out a chuckle and Cordelia stomps her foot before whining again. “You haven’t even given me a proper chance. The Council has voted several times that we are the best fit and you won’t even spend time with me“.
An idea forms in my mind. “And what exactly do you want me to do. Spend time with you. Hold you. Kiss you“.
Her eyes light up with anticipation as she nods. “I know if you kiss me you will know we are meant to be together“.
I move closer to her while looking her in the eyes. When I’m inches from her face I let out a breathy sigh.
“Can I ask you something“.
She bites her bottom lip in anticipation. “Anything handsome“.
“If I kiss you right now, do you think you would be able to taste my mate’s pussy on my tongue“.
Liam spits coffee all over the table and starts howling with laughter.
Cordelia’s face turns white and she stands there shell–shocked. I think I can see actual tears forming in her eyes when she
1/3
yells at me.
“YOU’RE DISGUSTING“.
I shrug. “And you’re delusional but here we are“.
She runs out crying and I turn to Liam who is doubled over. I look over to Mary who is trying to shake her head in disapproval but I can see her shoulders move as she holds back her laughter.
I sit down, eat my breakfast, and wait til they both calm down. Once they do, I tell them all about meeting Serena last night. Liam is very shocked but Mary seems unfazed.
Liam turns and asks for more clarification. “You mean glowed. Like a light bulb glow“.
Jace surges forward. “Don’t you DARE compare my amazing mate to housewares. She glows like an angel would. Like the
moon does“.
Liam starts laughing at the comparison and how Jace is talking gently about his mate. Normally he is just threatening
everyone.
?
I turn to Mary. “You don’t seem surprised Mary“.
“You both know I follow the old ways. I fully believe in everything the Moon Goddess does for us. With how amazing Lewana is and everything she has survived, it doesn’t surprise me that she is blessed“.
I sigh and take a deep breath. “Well, this is what has me worried. During the pack run tonight, you will both get to see her. And so will everyone else“.
Liam suddenly realizes the gravity of the situation. “We will need to make sure guards are on her at all times“.
“No. I am not leaving her side tonight under any circumstance. We also want to stay in sight of the pack or be by ourselves later on in the night so Jace and Serena can connect more. It’s after tomorrow night I am worried about“.
“Would anyone be dumb enough to try anything on a truly blessed wolf“.
Mary lets out a deep sigh. “They would be more likely Liam. There are fables of blessed wolves in our history being in cages so Alpha can use their powers for selfish gain. They all end up cursed in the end for not honoring a Moon Goddess gift. As they should be“.
Gift. I suddenly remember back to the night I got the message from Lewana’s mother a month ago. “When Lewana’s mother gave us her message, she called Lewana her most precious gift. Mary, do you think you can work with Willow today and look into this“.
“Will do. Let me just make sure you boys have enough lunch and snacks in the fridge if I’m going to be in the library during lunch. Also, need to make sure Lewana has breakfast and dinner is prepped for later“.
I roll my eyes. “We can all manage for a meal Mary“.
Liam scoff at me. “Speak for yourself“. I roll my eyes and go to get the rest of my work done.
I get through the rest of my day without many interruptions. Business is going well, plans are made for future meetings, accounts are finalized, and all the soldiers have recovered from the attack and are back with their families for the pack
run.
Chapter 9/
And tonight, I can run with my mate on a full moon. The first of many,
What could go wrong?
