Chapter 11
Liam POV
I stood in the banquet hall and watched the girls leave for their suite. As soon as the main door shut, Conrad let out a massive sigh of defeat.
“What are we going to do? She can’t even look at us”.
“It’s going to be fine. We have 2 more full days and today was just about getting her here safe which we did”. I’m just trying to remain as positive and calm as possible to support him and not show I was on edge as well.
Donovan, the ever-useless prick, speaks up. “It would be better to send her home now. You saw her pick up that knife and threaten her friend. She is a risk for all wolves and should remain an outcast”.
Conrad’s eyes instantly glowed at this, and the growl echoed around the room. He moved with such speed I couldn’t get any words out before Conrad had his hand around Donnavon’s throat and pinned him against the table.
"I told you she is important to me, so disrespect her again and you can sleep in the dungeons for a night. Understood”.
Donovan starts going purple and can’t get out any words, so he tries to nod under the pressure.
Conrad throws him to the floor, and he starts coughing, trying to get air into his body.
In a booming Alpha Command he yells “GET OUT”. Donovan and every server runs out the room.
Conrad starts running his hand through his hair. A habit he uses to try and calm himself and Jace down. He looks at me, conflicted, and asks something I know has been on his mind. “Do you think I’m making the right decisions here?”.
“I do. She is giving you a chance, so you need to give her one to. You saw the photo’s in her file. It couldn’t have been easy for her to come her”.
He takes a deep sigh. “Did you many to find anything in the Blood Moon pack records about Eve. Anything about who her parents were, he status. How she ended up in that state when she was found in the cargo hold”.
“Nothing. I asked the pack members to. All deny knowing any Eve. I showed her picture around, and most refuse to even look. There’s definitely something going on, but no one is talking out of fear. Just don’t know what they’re scared of anymore. Alpha Blake and his family are in custody, and we have been caring for them for a few weeks now, so they shouldn’t fear us”.
He seems deep in thought when a sly smile crosses his face. “Her wolf is strong isn’t she. I was worried she would be dormant living the human world for 13 years but I could sense her”.
I just laughed, “I honestly couldn’t. But she is definitely acting more wolf than human, so it is a good sign”.
“I’m not surprised you couldn’t. She left before her first real shift so doubt her wolf has ever interacted with another wolf. She not sure how to make her presence known to another one as she has been hiding so long but I could feel her watching the room and that her hackles were up. I wonder if she is that beautiful chestnut colour Eve’s hair is”.
“Well, if she really has never interacted with a wolf before, Jace better be on his best behaviour”.
Conrad laughed, “He’s insulted that you didn’t think he would be for our mate”. He looks out the window at the moon as if asking the Moon Goddess herself for answers. “What are we going to do about her tonight? She never even ate”.
“I’ve already mind linked the kitchen to take some extra food up there in case she is more comfortable eating in the room. We all just need space and we will see how tomorrow goes”.
I head off to my room to get to bed. I’m exhausted after the day. Not physically, but just the mental exhaustion. I was just getting settled for the evening when I heard a knock on my door.
“I thought I was promised a test drive”.
