Lewana POV

Several days of preparing. After several days of strategies and checking we have all our supplies. Today, I leave with the hunters and guardians to fight shadows in some unknown location. Today, I am leaving Conrad for at least a

week.

We are loading everything into the helicopters when I’m distracted by a figure standing at the edge of the barracks holding a duffel bag over his shoulder.

“Leroy, what are you doing here?“.

He steels himself against my gaze and squares his shoulder. He is clearly expecting an argument from whatever speech he is about to deliver. “I was the Alpha of my pack for 25 years. During the last 5-10 years, we have been raided three times and lost members of our pack. We lost all connection, so I thought they were dead, but if they were forced to reject me, the bond snapping would have felt like them dying. I’m coming with you as I need to know if any of them were taken and are being held there. I need to take them home if they are there“.

I take a deep sigh and realise he is not going to back down on this.

“Fine. You can come. But you follow mine and Liam’s orders to the letter. No running off or vigilant crap that will put us at risk“.

He nods and runs over to the chopper and jumps in. Liam just raises an eyebrow and looks at me. I send him a mindlink to say I will fill him in on the way. He gets in the helicopter, and Conrad claps him in the back as they

farewell.

Conrad walks over to me and pulls me into a tight hug and whispers against me. “Make the promise“.

“I promise to always come back to you“.

We kiss, and just as it starts getting more intense, the rotors start. We pull apart and rest our foreheads against each other as we feel the breeze start to increase, letting us know it is time for me to go.

I push away and don’t even look back as I make my way to get on board. I know I need to be strong, and if I look back, I might not leave.

I climb in and watch as the pack gets smaller and smaller as we head over to our target.

It’s several hours before land, and the sun has started to set. We are setting up a campsite in a large field at the edge of the forest. We clear what we need to for the night and start to set up camp. I can see the men pulling out swag and sleeping bags, some of them just want to sleep as wolves for the night.

That’s when I notice Liam ordering some men to pull out a large wad of fabric and start laying it out on a flat section of land. It’s only when I see it go up that I notice it is the tent Cordelia got changed in and the one I

“What the hell is that doing here?“.

Liam yells victoriously. “Pay up, suckers“.

I storm over to him and cross my arms as I stare at him, collecting the cash. “Liam. Explain“.

He’s grinning as he talks to me. “Well, you didn’t think we would let our pregnant Luna Queen slum it with the rest of us, did you. Even in battles, the general has a tent, so everyone knew where they were. So we are setting you up in style. We all agreed but I made bets with everyone that you would be pissed the second you saw. I was right“.

I just roll my eyes. Of course, they did this. The idea of sleeping in a big comfy tent does sound better than the floor, but they know I hate special privileges. I look around, and not one of them is even hesitating at the fact that I’m mad at them. Guess I have a bigger fight to worry about at the moment.

A figure at the edge of the tree line gets my attention. It’s King Florian, and he looks worried. I walk over to him to see what is going on.

“King Floran, is the fairy barrier in place?“.

He nods but looks solemn. “Yes. I understand the importance of this, and I can sense the shadow’s presence more on this land. I just hope the forest isn’t destroyed in the process. Some of these trees hold the knowledge of 500 years. You need to try and protect them“.

“I understand. We will do everything we can“.

He just nods and turns to walk back into the forest as I turn to look at the campsite. The wolves are starting to play fight and practice tenchinques, as the only structure that needed to go up was mine. I head to my supplies and pull out a blanket to start laying out the quartz crystals. It’s the first night of the full moon, so they need to charge as much as possible for tomorrow.

I’m woken the following morning by a rumble of trucks and the sound of rushing water. The supply trucks and Psirens have arrived. Before long, a screech is heard from above as the Phoenixes arrive as well.

We prepare throughout the day and rest as much as we can. We attack at night, so we will have the moon on our side for breaking the command bonds.

As soon as the full moon starts to rise and we get word from King Florain that the fairy barrier is in full force and no shadows have gotten out, we head into the forest.
