<b>Chapter </b><b>185 </b>


    Lewana POV


    After about an hour of crying for joy with everyone at breakfast, I went to take a nap as I was exhausted. Don’t know if it was pregnancy or being emotionally drained, but either way, the thirty minutes did wonders for me.


    When I woke, I was upset again. I’m thrilled for Arthur. I was aware of his previous mate, but they never marked each other. It seemed to be more of afort rtionship than a love rtionship. With my mum, it was a mutual understanding. I’m d he has found someone to cherish that way. But I have been with Conrad longer, and her still hasn’t marked me.


    The jealousy onlysts about two minutes before it turns into rage. I’m going to find him and


    demand an answer.


    I stomp around the house and track his scent to one of the meeting rooms. My aura is fully up, and Serena’s eyes have reced mine as she is pissed with him too. I can scent he is in one of therge study rooms with Arthur, Liam, and Connor.


    I don’t remotely care if I interrupt them.


    I m the doors open with a loud thud, making everyone jump except Conrad.


    He smiles when he sees me. Almost as if seeing me furious is funny to him. “Did you have a good sleep, Moonlight?“.


    I growl at him. “Don’t moonlight me. Why haven’t you marked me yet?“.


    The other three men in the room look around the room ufortably before Connor speaks up. “We can leave you two alone to discuss this“.


    All three men start to leave before Conrad speaks up. “No. Stay. You all need to hear this“.


    Conrad walks over to me as I stare daggers at him. I takes my hand gently and talks in an even, calming tone, which pisses me off more. I wanted to fight him.


    “Moonlight. We are about to go to war against Malik, Donovan, and the Rogue Army. If I mark you andplete the bond, what would happen to you if I died in battle?“.


    I was livid at this. “FIRSTLY, YOU’RE AN IDIOT IF YOU THINK YOU ARE GOING INTO BATTLE WITHOUT ME. SECONDLY, I WILL SLAUGHTER ANYONE WHO WOULD EVEN THINK ABOUT


    TAKING YOU AWAY FROM ME“.


    He remains calm. “I know you would ughter anyone who would harm me or anyone in your family. But let’s say we go to battle in three months. You would be seven months pregnant with twins. I’m not going to stop you, but would you risk them to be next to me? You think wolves wouldn’t try to sh your belly? Try to kick you“.


    I stare at him, definitely. “Well, if I’m not going, you’re not going“.


    He just smiles. Our address isn’t exactly a secret. What if theye here? You know everyone, including myself, would die protecting you and our pups. If you died, I would die regardless. Not just because I have your mark, but because I would have lost everything. If I died defending you, and you were marked, the pain would cause………`.


    That’s when it hit me. A mate bond means each other’s life force is connected. It’s why so many mates die from a broken heart if their mate does. If Conrad did die in battle, I wouldn’t only lose him. It would drain the pups still in me.


    “Would cause a miscarriage“. My voice is weak and shaky as I speak. My hands instinctively held my bump as if I could hold my pups in ce, and Serena started to whimper.


    Conrad pulls me into his arms and holds me tight. That’s why I won’t mark you. Mary was the one who exined the risk and said it was up to us, but I know neither of us will risk our


    pups“.


    I take a deep breath to calm myself. He is right. I will do anything for them.


    “Well, if that is the case, you’d better mark me the second they are out then“.


    Heughs and kisses my head. “Promise. In the meantime, I hope this might help a bit“.


    He pulls out a small box from his jacket pocket. When he opens it, I gasp. It’s arge moonstone engagement ring, opal cut with delicate tinumced with diamonds.


    Conrad just smiles. “You did tell the human world you were my fiancée, so think this is only fitting. I was thinking that once this war is over and you have had the pups, we will have the Luna Ceremony. You missed your coronation, but you should get that. We can make it more like a wedding if you like“.


    Serena instantly starts preening in my head, thinking how gorgeous she will look in a Luna Ceremony. Suppose we canbine the two. I will need all the girls to help, though. Why


    didn’t I think of this<b>? </b>


    I kiss him quickly and run off<b>, </b>screaming for Michelle and telling her about what Conrad just said and showing off my ring. Michelle starts sketching dresses, Willow starts thinking about


    what needs to be organised and starts a wedding binder, while Kimberly buys every major bridal magazine she can find to be delivered asap.


    It’s been strange to have a normal day. I go to bed exhausted but happy. I know the wedding nning is likely a distraction the boys came up with to keep me distracted from the uing war, but it was a wee one.


    I am fast asleep in bed when I’m woken up by pounding on the bedroom door.


    WAKE UP LUNA QUEEN, PLEASE WAKE UP“.


    Conrad leaps out of bed, looking for the threat as we both look at each other, confused about what is going on..


    Conrad swings our bedroom door open, and Alpha Kanees bolting in and drops to his knees in front of me, crying and hyperventting.


    “Please, Luna Queen. Brianna’s water broke, and I took her down to the medical centre, but she is asking for you. There was some blood, but she is scared, and I don’t know how to help her“.


    Guess I’m sleeping tomorrow.
