Elora’s POV

“Now that Ashley was pregnant with your heir, when will you marry her?”

I felt a sharp sting inside my chest but I knew it was coming. The moment I learned about Dominic impregnating Ashley, I was certain that the situation would eventually lead to this.

If a werewolf ended up making a she-wolf pregnant, a marriage would most likely follow. This has been the norm since the beginning of time. The budding life inside a she-wolf’s womb was considered sacred in our society. This was because not all werewolf couples were blessed to procreate. Being pregnant for us was a huge thing, especially for high-ranking families.

That is why we are careful to be intimate with another person outside of mateship. The last thing we want is to end up having a shotgun wedding for the sake of the unborn child. We certainly didn’t want to sacrifice our happiness yet we couldn’t just turn our backs on an innocent baby inside her mother’s womb regardless if the mom was as bitchy as Ashley.

    Elora’s POVI heard a lot of stories about the great Grand Luna of the Royal Pack. Growing up, I aspired to be as strong as her.I could still remember the old tales about her courage and strength in fighting alongside the previous Alpha King to defeat an army of ruthless rogues. While most of the Lunas like her would choose to stay in their pack and offer a prayer to the moon goddess to protect their spouses, she selected a more dangerous route. Because of it, she earned the admiration of the whole continent, including me.But I never expected to have met her this way. I always dreamed of seeing her face to face and telling her how her bravery inspired me to endure my uncle’s abuse. I was one of her biggest fans, so seeing her treat me like this made

    Chapter 30 Elora’s POV The next day, I tried to live my life as normally as possible. Although Dominic relieved me of my duties as omega and was no longer grounded inside our quarters, I still didn’t live as a privileged she-wolf as he wanted me to. I wanted to make myself useful because I didn’t want people to think that I took advantage of my position as Dominic’s mate to gain favors for myself. At first, the omega leader was adamant about relieving me from doing all those chores but after my persuasion and a promise that she would not be held accountable in case Dominic found out, she agreed. One of the things she assigned me to do was to take care of the palace garden. It wasn’t that bad considering that I was fond of nature. Also, it was quite a challenge because the garden looked unattended and chaotic. The omega leader told me that the previous gardener, who served the palace for 60 years, was finally laid to eternal rest. After he passed, the gardeners who replaced him w

    Elora’s POVI ran toward the woods. I sprinted like there was no tomorrow because I knew that my life depends on it. I dashed through the wind wanting to get out of that place as soon as possible. I was sure that Ashley’s mate, in his wolf form, was hunting me like a hungry predator. His scent was shouting danger making my body tense with fear. I moved my legs faster and I almost didn’t feel the ground brushing against my skin. My chest constricted with the lack of air, making it difficult for me to huff and puff. ‘Hurry, Elora! They will soon catch up on us!’I wanted to spank Arwen for yelling those words inside my head. At this point, her anxiousness was not helping at all. But somehow, I understood. We both knew that once these wolves got their hands on us, we would be dead before sunrise. I was in this position many times. I was never a stranger to people who wanted to kill me. And yet, the fear surfacing around me still has the same intensity. ‘I gotta get out of here. I mu

    Dominic’s POV What could be a better way to forget the matters of the heart than burying yourself in mountains of paperwork? This was one of the many times I was glad to be the Alpha King. If things hadn’t turned south, I might have been in bed and lying next to Elora after her unexpected return from Moon River Pack. She might have moved out of the omega quarters and moved in with me. We might have come to terms with our mateship and probably planned our impending marriage. However, the goddess of the moon had other plans. Instead, I was stuck here in my office disconnecting myself from the world while trying to figure out how I could get the hell out of this situation. The torment I saw on Elora the first time she heard about Ashley’s pregnancy lingered in my memory. I saw how her world fell apart. She was beyond devastated. I felt sorry that I put her in that situation. Seeing her in complete misery put a million daggers inside my chest. I vowed to myself that I would never all

    Dominic's POV “Any news about her?” Oliver, the tracker leader assigned to look for Elora, bowed his head. I could see him playing with his fingers while finding the right words to say. “I am sorry, my king, but there was none,” he said in shame. I nodded while heaving a sigh. I couldn’t blame him for feeling like that. Oliver was the best tracker in the Royal Pack but even he and his team couldn’t figure out where Elora was. “Keep searching, I want to see her body even if she’s…dead…” “Will do, your grace,” he said. He bowed his head one last time before dismissing himself. As soon as I was left alone, I took out the bottle of vodka from the drawer and pour myself a glass. It has been three days since Elora disappeared from that cliff and until now, I haven’t heard anything from her. Everyone thought that she was dead, while some were having ridiculous conspiracy theories that she ran away to live as a rogue once again. I held the glass tightly, feeling frustrated with the

    Elora’s POV I woke up to the pungent smell of what seemed to be a herbal medicine invading my nostrils. The room was silent apart from my heavy breathing. I slowly got up and lifted my eyelids. I squinted in an attempt to sharpen the blurry image surrounding me. However, a sharp pain stung my eyeballs as soon as the light hit them. It felt as if my whole eyeballs were dried up. It gave me some discomfort making me blink a couple of times in an attempt to wet it with my tears. Unfortunately, it didn’t help so I ended up rubbing them. That was when I noticed that no matter what I do, my vision didn’t seem to enhance at all. “Woah, take it easy.” I heard a man’s voice from the side. He took off my hands from my eyes which made me flinch. The man might have noticed my reaction. Although his voice seemed familiar, I didn't know who he was. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to startle you,” he said. “Just please, do not touch your eyes while they were still recovering. You might remove the m

I smiled thinking about this. Another thing to be thankful for was knowing that Fritz, not only gained a loving home in this pack but also had some good friends he could count on. The two of them inched nearer, to where I would have a closer look at the mysterious visitor despite having a very limited vision. Fritz sat beside me and held my hands. “Samuel, I’d like you to meet my sister, Elora.”“Hi, Elora. My name is Samuel Miller.” The silhouette of his arm stretched toward me. I looked at Fritz who helped me and shook his hand. “It’s my pleasure to meet such a beautiful she-wolf as you. My cheeks heated up with his compliment. “Elora Knightlock. Nice to meet you too, Samuel,” I answered sheepishly. And then, I took back my hand and paused for a while before speaking again.“I want to

As long as I didn’t see her dead body, I would cling to the hope that I would still find her breathing. I closed my eyes, remembering her face and feisty attitude.

Opening the creaky wooden door, I saw Vlad, illuminated by warm light from inside. He looked relieved and proud as he saw me, and his face brightened with a gentle smile."Welcome back, Shea!" Vlad exclaimed happily. "And look who's here to greet you!"Beside Vlad stood a young boy, his eyes wide with curiosity and excitement. My heart skipped a beat."Mommy!" I smiled widely, reaching out my hand to welcome him. Yes, I found out I was pregnant when I left the White Fang Castle five years ago and Bradley was the fruit of it. I knelt down, letting the game fall from my shoulder, and smiled at my little boy.He looked at me intently and reached out to touch my shoulder. "You're really strong, Mommy," he said in awe. I ruffled his hair in return, making him pout. I glanced at Vlad, my eyes filled with gratitude.

The sun's warm rays bathed me in golden light as kept my eyes shut, recalling the grandeur of the castle. The library's scent of old books, the mouthwatering aroma of feasts in the dining hall, and the laughter that echoed through its corridors during celebrations. Memories of my childhood flooded my mind. Ah…the nostalgia it brings. I went back to my room and quickly put on my training clothes. Even though memories of the White Fang Castle still floated in my mind, I felt a sense of comfort in my new home, in the Royal Pack.

The nightmare had shattered my peace, bringing back haunting memories of my mother's treachery and the twisted acts she forced upon me and Pops. It left me hollow, like an endless abyss of despair.With a heavy sigh, I dragged myself to the bathroom, craving the soothing embrace of a warm shower.

But the putrid stench of my mother's lies clung to me, making me cringe in revulsion.Shit! When will this nightmare end? Once the water ceased its gentle flow, my thoughts drifted to Shea, my lovely mate. I rushed out of the bathroom, searching for her possible whereabouts inside our chambers but my search was futile.

It turned out that Yamir was nothing more than a pawn, a victim of Ashley's cunning lies. Dad also acknowledged his sacrifice in saving Mom so he showed mercy and granted them a pardon. He even arranged for a proper burial for Yamir, a final act of respect. Mom, on the other hand, remained in a deep slumber, but we were relieved that she was safe and out of harm’s way.
