Balance of Light and Shadow (By Chandrea) novel Chapter 169

Chapter 169

Liam POV

I waited outside the prison for Lama Queen to come out, and she was a vision when she did. The power and determination that radiated from her was amazing. We always spoke about how the true Alpha King and Lama Queen would be the father and mother of our kind, but this is the first time I fully understand what it meant. The fierce protective nature she emitted was intense. She was fully accepting her place.

“How did it go, Luna Queen? Do I need to organise a…. cleaning detail?“.

I start to follow her as she power walks back to the house. “No. They are intact and alive. They have been destroyed in every way that is important to them, so they should be more cooperative when it comes to the trial. Why are you calling me Luna Queen and not my name, Liam?“.

“Errm. Alpha King thought it was best if people address you by your title“.

“Well, that shit stops now. I don’t care what Conrad says. You call me by my name“.

I chuckle slightly. “Yes, Ma’am“.

She stops and quickly spins around to glare at me. “Yes, Lewana“.

“Better. I need to eat. You’re coming to the kitchen with me. Maybe while we’re there, you can tell me what happened while I was gone and why everyone is acting weird“.

Fuck. Alpha King will kill me if I tell her anything before he does. If he does. I don’t want to get in the middle of these two.

“Sorry, Lewana. I have to go help Arthur with some stuff before training this afternoon“.

I quickly sprint off, but I know she doesn’t buy it.

I try to stay out of the way the rest of the day and go to bed early that night. I know she won’t follow me to my room. I just keep praying that Alpha King will talk to her before she finds out.

The next morning, I do all my duties while avoiding Alpha King and Lewana. Arthur and I have just been trying to keep everything going since Lewana was rescued, but there is still this tension in the air that is getting worse by the day.

I meet up with Arthur in one of the smaller living rooms on the third floor of the house. It’s in the guest wing, so there is practically no one around since all the visitors went home.

“Hey, Arthur. You got everything in the pack still running?“.

Chapter 164

“Yeah, I do, Kid part award to confirm some orders with you. What about your side of things,

Before I can answer, we both jump when the door stews chut behind us.

Lewana is standing there. Her eyes were glowing gold, and Serena was clearly alongside her the tracked us.

Arthur’s voice has a slight shake in it when he speaks. “Hey, Jellybean. You feeling OK today?“.

“I have asked several times, and no one is giving me an answer. What happened while I was get

“Why don’t we go get some r

“SHUT UP. We both freeze. “BOTH OF YOU, SIT AND DON’T EVEN THINK ABOUT MIND–LINKING CONRAD. Both of us sit like trained pets, knowing there is no room for arguing

She paces back and forth while staring down. As if trying to decide the best way to punish us.

“Three days. I have been back for three days, and no one is talking to me. Do you have any idea what this is like for me? I am entering my second trimester. I have heartburn that feels like fire in my throat. Every inch of my skin reacts to everything, Even though all food makes me nauseous, I am starving all the time. I have Serena in my head telling me to go eat raw rabbit, as that is her craving, while I’m trying to work out if I can stomach it with ice cream. There is still a psychopath trying to kidnap me to mate my daughter, I’m doing everything alone as no one is talking to me, and my mate won’t even have sex or stay in bed with me, let alone tell me what is going on. So I will ask again. What the fuck happened while I was away?“.

That was a lot of information, and we have no idea how to answer it. This pisses her off even more.

His eyes run the deep sapphire blue of Serena, and the gold shines as bright as daylight as she stares into my soul. I know she is about to order me when the door flies open.

It’s Alpha King. Her eyes narrow at us as she tries to work out who told on her.

Moonlight, it’s OK. I’m right here“.

He tries to walk up to her to hold her, and she shoves him back. Hard.

“As far as I’m concerned, you’re the problem. None of you are leaving here until I know what happened“.

The silence from the three of us as we look at each other pisses her off even more. Alpha King tries to calm her down again.

“You don’t need to worry yourself about anything that happened. Not in your condition“.

Chapter 160

“My condition. My condition is that Liam is calling you by your title. You’re not speaking to Mary, you’re treating me like glass, and you can’t tolerate staying one night in bed with me. I am having twins, and my family is broken, so don’t talk to me about conditions“,

Alpha King looks uncomfortable at this and keeps trying to calm her down.

“Sweetie, I promise you it’s not that bad. I think you’re just overreacting because of the pregnancy

hormones.

That absolute fucking moron.

Her claws and teeth shift almost instantaneously, and I can see the look of horror on his face, and he realizes how much he fucked up just then.

Arthur yells, “RUN“, and he takes off out the door with her chasing him.

We follow in case we need to separate them, as Lewana is clearly out for blood.

She tackles him to the ground as he tries to get down the last set of stairs to the entrance.

“YOU’RE A LIAR“.

He is trying to fight her off without hurting her, and now they are basically wrestling on the ground.

“Oh, honey. What’s he done now?“.
