Elora’s POV

There was a part of me that trembled upon hearing what Hunter said to me.

I wasn't aware of Midnight Woods until he told me about it. But if it's the only way to go around this problem, I would do everything to get it done.

I flashed a nervous smile and laughed at his antics. "Are you serious right now? Oh, come on, Hunter! What are you so nervous about? You actually believe in that crude?" I uttered washing away my nervousness.

"I am dead serious, Elora! You don't know what you're dealing with. You don't want to mess with that place. What if the healer demanded something that you cannot give in return for his service? What if he asks for too much? What if you will have to choose something that would further your problem instead of actually fixing it?"

I heaved a deep sigh while holding my forehead. My other hand was on my waist. "Look, I know you're concerned about it, Hunter. I really appreciate that you're trying to help me here, but no matter what you say, I will sti

    Dominic's POVIt was a very quiet Saturday evening. The night sky was clear and full of twinkling stars. The cold breeze was circulating inside the dining hall so one of the omegas decided to let down the big curtains for cover. I smiled for the temporary warmth. Then, the rest of the omegas started fixing the table. Tonight was nothing special yet Elora, on one of those rare occasions, decided to request a feast. As I was told, she requested the castle’s head chef to cook her (us) glazed ribs and mac and cheese. I could smell the smokiness of the fall-off-the-bone barbeque ribs paired with rich and creamy macaroni and cheese. The warm, yellow hue of the mac and cheese and the dark, red tone of the ribs complemented each other. Tonight's meal certainly made a picture-perfect plate. The omegas excused themselves to give us some privacy. Ever since Elora accepted our mateship, this has been one o the things she demanded. As part of the Royal family, I am used to being surrounded by o

    Elora’s POV"Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock.."The sound of the antique wall clock reverberated from one corner of my room to the other. Today was the fifth day since Hunter and Loreal left the Royal Pack. I haven’t heard from them ever since. I bit my nails, as I was pacing back and forth in my room. I couldn’t think straight. As the days have gone by, I could help but feel anxious more and more. Good thing that the pair provided a solid alibi. If not, I was sure that Dominic would ask for Hunter’s presence and would probably start asking for his whereabouts. After all, this was the first time he was out of the royal pack this long. Meanwhile, I was becoming more nervous as the days went by. The more that I haven’t heard from them, I more I thought that maybe, the mission would most likely fail. Nah, I should feel this way. I have to trust Hunter and Loreal. What other choice do I have? Just the other day, Dominic commented about me gaining weight. Well, every expectant mother w

'What the hell was that?'Everyone looked excited after hearing the announcement. The majority of the young members of the council commented how it would be a first for them to experience such an event. The elder council members began to narrate their unforgettable experiences with the Moonlight Festival. Obviously, this feast was a big deal for everyone. Yet through it all, I saw Dominic remaining silent. His hands were sitting under his chin, with eyes staring at the blank space. Although he remained attentive whenever his name was being called, I could feel that his mind and focus were present somewhere. It was as if he was here with us yet his consciousness was wandering elsewhere. What’s wrong with him? I asked myself. Realizing how I was completely disconnected from the ongoing hype,

    Elora’s POVSince nothing had happened, I stepped backward and prepared to kick the door open. But before I was able to do that, the door suddenly opened, revealing my mate’s face. His forehead was creasing, looking at me with irritation. “Go away, Elora. I need to be alone. Please, leave.”“You know I can’t do that. Why don’t we seat and talk—”“Which part of what I said did you not understand?” Dominic yelled. He was raking his hair backward, with his face flushing with anger. “I need some space. Why can’t you give me that?”“Because leaving you alone will just make everything worse!” I yelled back. I pushed the door so hard and enter the room forcefully. Dominic was about to protest but I cut him out immediately. “I can feel that you are afraid. You don’t have to deal with this alone.”Dominic scoffed. “As a matter of fact, I had been dealing with this by myself over the last few years. What makes this situation any different?”“Because you have me now,” I responded. I made sure t
