Balance of Light and Shadow

Chapter 163

Lewana POV

Flashback to two months ago

I can feel myself starting to wake up. I’m tucked up warm in bed as usual. If Conrad is up before me, he normally tucks me back in to make sure I’m warm before he leaves. I love it when he does that. I

roll over and reach out to his side of the bed, and my arm goes off the edge.

Did I fully move to his side of the bed? I reach around with my other hand and find the other edge.

This isn’t my bed.

I sit up and start looking around frantically, greeted by thick perspex walls in a lab with technicians doing work.

I start growling instantly. A ferocious, loud growl that makes them all freeze.

“Your Highness, you’re finally awake. Did you have a good rest?“.

The familiar face brings me no comfort.

“Donovan. What have you done?“.

“I’ve saved us all my Luna Queen. You are strong, beautiful, and blessed. You have always been destined for greatness, but you have hidden from us in the human form for many years. Your new accommodations are just to make sure you don’t hide from us again“.

He’s speaking in an almost robotic tone. He believes everything he is saying. That he thinks it is logical. Even though it’s insanity.

I snap at him. “You know Alpha King will come for me. He will kill you when he does“.

He smiles. “Conrad is already being dealt with“.

I freeze. Why did he not call him Alpha King?

You vowed to always do what is best for our kind. To always serve the Alpha King”

A low chuckle comes from the corner, and a figure steps forward from the darkness. A man in his mid–30s, in an expensive designer suit with a rough around the edges vibe

clearly picturing me naked. I feel very exposed in my cami top and PJ shorts, so I go to bed and rip the blanket off to wrap over me.

He tusked at me. “You do need to hide from me. You belong to me now after all“.

Serena comes forward and gives a warning bark, which makes him laugh.

I start looking around the room frantically to assess my surroundings and situation.

“You don’t like your accommodation, little bunny. I built them just for you. Reinforced perspex glass all around so my staff can keep an eye on you at all times. A chamber with a secondary biometric lock, so even if you get past the first door, you won’t get to the second. All air is pumped through the vents as an isolation chamber. All furniture is bolted down. And when we need to enter the room, you can either comply and get into the silver restraints, or we gas the room“.

He just smiles as he watches me go from one corner to another. Checking every surface, every corner, every inch, trying to work this out. He watches me intently and comes up to the glass when I start slowing down.

“You looked stressed, little bunny. It’s not good for you“.

I flash my Alpha eyes at him and use my Alpha command. “Don’t call me that. Release me now, or I will kill all of you when I do“.

“I do like them with spirit. None of that will work here. They have all been blood–bonded and commanded to only obey me, and I’m also a pure blood Alpha, so won’t scare me either“.

I step away from the glass and go back to sit on the bed. I think about my options, what I’m going to do. Processing everything he has just told me.

He studies me for a moment. Almost intrigued by my silence. “I’m surprised you haven’t asked any questions, little bunny“.

“I’ve been in a cage before. You want what the rest wanted“.

He lets out that amused chuckle again. “Well, I’m never going to lie to you, so that day will come. But for now, you will be very carefully monitored. We have to make sure the pup is OK after all“.

I looked up and met his eyes. The what.

“Doesn’t surprise me you don’t know. My loyal servant Donovan switched your birth control for an egg–stimulating hormone. He then gave you the pre–workout powder as a way to get extra Folic acid into you. Then finally, he put oestrogen in your smoothies leading up to your night away with descendant of light. Guaranteed you went into heat and would conceive“.

I’m worried at this point. “That is all just a plan. You have no way of knowing if I’m actually

pregnant.

“Donovan knew about your plasma bank. He has been testing it since you came back for the

hormone changes. The last one you did confirmed it, so we put our plan into action to bring you

here“.

My hands instinctively go to my abdomen while Serena checks inside me for life. He was right.

“So your grand plan is to watch me raise a pup in this room“.

“You don’t have to worry yourself with motherhood. Alpha Anthony and Lady Cordelia have already

bought your pup. Your beloved Conrad will wake up naked in bed with her, and she will play the part

of being pregnant. She already has the injectable version of the birth hormone, so her scent changes

to make it convincing. Once you give birth, she will be Luna Queen. As there will be an heir, there

will be no need for Conrad, so we can kill him, I’ll take the throne and raise your pup as mine“.

I start laughing. A humourless noise full of denial. “Conrad will never accept Cordelia as Luna Queen. Even if he thinks she’s carrying his pup“.

“Doesn’t matter. He will be dead. Cordelia will inherit all his assets along with her father’s, and I will

control them all“.

I freeze when I realise there is still a piece missing from this twisted plan.

“If Cordelia will be your mate, you plan to just sell me on after birth“.

“You’re far too valuable for that. We’re going to harvest you. All your eggs will be taken and frozen for sale. This lab will process sperm from Alpha’s with the biggest pockets to create a line of pure Alpha’s. All daughters created will go into a breeding program to continue your legacy. Your plasma and blood are going to be drained for anti–aging serums and health treatment. Even your antibodies for silver and wolfsbane will be collected“.

A wave of pure horror washes over me, and I can’t stop the tears from falling. My biggest fear has been realised. My daughters will suffer as I did. My entire blood will suffer because I got caught.
