~ Zora

After a good meal, a shower and a change, Roman and I made our way to The Underground. As usual, Alastair opened the door for us and I climbed down before Roman.

When I reached the bottom stairs, I wasn't expecting the hiss and growl Alastair sent my way.

"You've changed." He said slowly, as his green eyes became ablaze with malice.

"Hey relax!" Roman said as Alastair tried to advance on me but the General held him back. I found myself stepping back till my back hit a wall. "She's on our side." Roman said slowly as if explaining something to someone who had very little grasp of understanding. "She's your Queen."

"Mind-Wraith. Enemy." Alastair protested, jabbing a crooked white claw finger my way.

"Mind-Wraith. Friend and your Queen." Roman said, beckoning me to come forward. Hesitantly I obeyed, staring apprehensively at the Ennoia.

"Friend?" Alastair asked, staring at me like Roman couldn't possibly know what he was saying.

"Yes. Friend." I said, nodding my head slowly.

    ~ Zora Cade licked his lips, darting his eyes left and right like a crazy man. "You'll have to get me out of here first." He whispered. Getting the message, Roman ordered his gate open, and had Cade's wrists and ankles bound in silver chains before dragging him out roughly like he was going to interrogate him. The rest of the prisoners watched us with malicious eyes as Cade was manhandled out of the hallway and taken out of sight. When we entered the office Nox took me to the first time I came here, Roman released Cade but didn't remove his chains. Cade looked around for a bit before his eyes landed on some cookies on a table."Can I have some of those?" He asks, pointing with one finger at the cookies but ends up pointing all ten because of his bondage. "It's been a while since I had one." Since I had no idea who put it there, I looked to Roman who gave him the go ahead. Cade immediately rushed to the table, raising a piece to his mouth and taking a bite. He closed his eyes for

    ~ ZoraRoman did as he promised. We started with some warm-up exercises, before he wore boxing gloves for me and got me into a ring. The trick there was that I had to build a diamond wall around my feelings and emotions while jabbing and ducking. It was one of the most difficult things I had to do in my life because every single time, it was either my mental shield went down or I didn't duck on time and got smacked in the face. Thankfully, Roman wasn't even using his strength, otherwise I would have been bruised. After that we did some running, while I still had to maintain my shield. After we ran a few miles and it was time to rest, I leaned against a tree and bent over on my knees terribly out of breath. I wasn't surprised to see Roman watching me with hardly a sweat on his skin. "How the hell are you not tired or something?""Because I've had years of experience doing this."Panting, I pushed to stay upright. "How long would it take for me to get strong?" Roman looked down a

    ~ ZoraWounded soldiers were taken to the pack hospital located between Sector Two and Sector One. There were about a dozen and half of them lying on beds in a big room. Some were already fully healed while some still needed to stay overnight. After giving them each a brief visit and conversing with their nurses, I was assured that they would all be fully healed and ready for service in no time. I noticed General Cain wasn't among the wounded and I made my notice known to Roman beside me. He decided to go ask one of the doctors while I stayed with the men, making small talk and helping the nurses administer their herbs. After that, I decided a three-day leave would be best for them but to my surprise, they all politely declined. "We'll rather be in service than on standby, my Queen." One of them, a dark skinned soldier, said and all the other men nodded in agreement.With a warm heart, I thanked them all and left their room in search of Roman. When I reached the end of the hall, I

    ~ ZoraAbigail was the only other person I told of my impromptu mission and she looked at me with the softest expression I had ever seen on her. "May the gods be with you. May the Moon light your steps and bring you and your men back to us safely."I nodded in response and we discussed canceling all the plans and outings I had for that month. Abigail further declared she would take over my duties for the event tomorrow and declare me indisposed in case I didn't make it back home. After eating, showering and taking a day's worth of clothing, I climbed into Roman's car and together with six black trucks filled with soldiers, we drove out of the Lycan territory and headed east.We drove at a high speed, avoiding the main road and sticking to passing through the path in the bushes. I spent the time, going over short books written about the were-coyotes, so I could learn as much as I could about them. We continued non-stop until the sun began to set and we slowed. We got to a point where

    ~ ZoraDespite looking quite native and living in mud houses, The Midland Pack actually had nice interiors. A heavily pregnant woman opened the door to let us in and from the essence of power I felt thrumming inside her, I knew she was the Luna. "This is my wife, Kitana." Chayton said proudly. "Hello and welcome." She said, She was just as beautiful as her husband was handsome. Her long dark hair flowed beyond her waist and was adorned with golden accessories. Clothed in a long flowing flowery dress, she also wore tattoos similar to her husbands. Her left ear was adorned with earrings all the way to the top and she had several lip rings as well. Her unusual look was a stark contrast to the sunshine smile she gave us as we came in.I was surprised to see that they had cable and television and other modern things in the house. Roman and I were asked to gently walk so as not to wake their kids who were light sleepers. The fact that they had children spurred a longing in me that I n

    ~ ZoraThe amount of relief that passed through me was indescribable and I couldn't believe that I actually pulled it off. The men I brought were taken away by Chayton's men and soon the excitement in the room died down. "So, what's your strategy?" Chayton asked. Renewed with confidence, I launched into it. "I have no idea when Troy will attack, but I have my men handling that. What matters to me is the cure and I want to storm his pace and take it."Chayton rubbed his chin in thought. "Have you confirmed if he has it?" My brows furrowed and a moment of panic punctured my confidence. Who would make a poison and not also make the antidote? "I didn't confirm but I assumed-""Ahhh." Chayton said, rising to his feet and wagging his forefinger. "When it comes to Troy, you don't assume. I have been unfortunately acquainted with him for years, and I learnt the hard way that Troy is a viper that cannot be underestimated."I saw reason in what the Alpha said so I nodded. "I have someone th

    ~ Zora"You did it!" Roman said as he patted my shoulders and pulled me into a hug. Before I knew it, Sydney was embracing me too and so was Cain. Then all the soldiers, including my generals as well as Doctor Mooney, went on one knee and bowed to me. The act alone, although done so many times, still managed to render me speechless. I couldn't even bring myself to speak because I was going through so many emotions at the same time. They all rose to their feet and Doctor Mooney was the first to approach me, "You have no idea what you've just done for us. Thank you.""We all did it together." I said when I managed to find my voice again. According to Mooney, Cain still needed rest and monitoring, so they entered one of the trucks containing the rest of the flowers and left for sector three. "The ceremony has already begun, maybe you should go change. Abigail has your dress ready." Roman said. I mulled his words over in my mind. "Tell Abigail to bring my dress to Sector Three. In th

    ~ ZoraIn a matter of minutes, Sydney was driving Abigail and I straight to the Temple. Roman had informed me that he was on his way as well but would leave the men on standby just in case. One could not be too careful. Since I left Sector Three, I had been trying to reach Elder Kirsten but I discovered I couldn't, so I made my concerns known to the women in the car with me. "She's probably busy at the moment or has too many people she's mindlinking at the same time." Abigail explained. Naturally, a ride from sector three to the Temple took about an hour and a half, for me it felt like forever and it also took longer because people were making their way to the Temple and now the road was congested in traffic. I prayed to the Moon Goddess that I made it in time to stop the poisoning of my people. While I waited, I got an idea, so I mindlinked the one person I knew could help as well. "Emelda, you there?" "Yes Zora. What do you need?" came her cheery voice. "I actually meant if y

    ~ ZoraSeveral Months Later"Let me help you with that." My husband said, collecting a wedding present from my hand and taking it to the car. I stood in disbelief. "I'm just pregnant, you know? I'm not an invalid.Nox closed the car and gave me a shrug. "Well you have no choice." He bends down and holds my big belly before giving it a kiss. "As long as you're carrying my babies, you will do as little as possible." He came back up to kiss me and at first, I had my mouth closed refusing him entry. Then he tickles me in persistence causing me to laugh and give in. I wrapped my arms across his shoulders and leaned in deep into the kiss, letting him explore my mouth and ravish my tongue. He never ceases to amaze me with how much he could get my body to respond to his touch and make me want more and more of him. I felt a fire starting within my core and I quickly broke the kiss. Breathless, I stared at him and found him grinning to himself. "We can't continue or we'll miss the wedding."

    ~ Zora By the time I arrived back in Parsivia, driven by the man Roman left behind, I could see my people already in the process of packing their things. I wondered where we would go now that Emilia was getting her lands back. Once I arrived home, I sprinted out of the car and into the house. I was surprised to find that servants had begun packing as well. They bowed to me with smiles and I acknowledged them before asking about Nox. They told me he was upstairs in our bedroom so I ran up the stairs and.dashed straight for the room. The moment I came in, I found him standing at the balcony behind billowing silk curtains. He turns and finds me standing by the door and he crosses the floor to me while I do the same. By the Gods, he smelt so much stronger and looked so much better, that by the time he touched me, my body came alive like wildfire.I pulled his face in for a kiss and moaned into his mouth when his lips sent delicious warmth down my mouth and straight to my throbbing cor

    ~ ZoraIn a flash, Tyler steps in front of me and takes the knife in his chest. "NO!" Emilia yells and everything else happens so fast. Nox moves towards Troy and in seconds has Troy's head removed from his body.Tyler fell back on me and I had to hold him gently as I sank to my knees. Emilia rushes to his side to check his wound.Someone calls for a Healer we were told that yet they were tapped out and even Nox was spent too. Fortunately, Tyler's wound wasn't immediately fatal so he was quickly carried to one of Troy's cars. There was a pack closer to the scene which also turned out to be an ally of the Moonrise pack, we decided it was best that he was driven there for treatment.Roman offered to drive us and I had to go meet Nox, "I have to go. I need to make sure he's okay.""Go." He said but there was a certain sadness to his demeanor. "I'll watch over your family." I approached him and despite the blood he had splattered on his face from killing Troy, I kissed him on the lips.

    ~ ZoraIn shock, she grabs his wrist trying to get his hand off her neck as he slowly lifts her off her feet but he wouldn't budge. "Hey!" Tyler said running in but was soon stopped by about half a dozen wolvescoming out of nowhere, almost surrounding him and snarling at him to go no further.“It’s a damn ambush!” Roman mutters, stepping back while staring at something from afar. I look in time to see wolves coming out of the woods around us. They surround Nox, Roman and the other lycan soldiers. "What are you doing?!" Emilia chokes out from Tyler's grip. I could see the fear and the disbelief in her features as she looks at the man who once meant something to her.. "You dare come here barking orders at me? Who are you to believe you can be a ruler over me?"Emilia fumbles for words, clearly speechless! Her face suddenly became red as her eyes slid to mine. “Help me, please!”"Zora, get away from there right now!" Nox mindlinked me and I see him walking towards me despite wolves sn

    ~ Zora"I can't do that!" I immediately responded. "I can't kill Nox!"Troy gave me a sympathetic look that was meant to be mocking. "I guess your sister will have to die then." He said and turned to leave. Behind me Hailey coughed and I had to make a decision in a split second. "Wait!" Troy stopped in his tracks and half turned. "Yes?" He drawled with a malicious grin. I used that moment to try and invade his mind but I was instantly met with a blinding white light followed by a great pain hammering through my head. I cry out in pain as a result,, falling to my knees and holding my head in my hands!Troy’s laughter echoed towards me as he came closer. “I knew you would do that! Now, ain’t that a bitch?!” He chuckled. “You think I’d be dumb enough to come down here without fortifying my mind and that of my men against your power? Come on, Zora. You should give me more credit than that.”My head continues to hurt as if an electric current just passed through it. “What you just expe

    ~ Zora"Zora, wake up!" A groan escapes me when I feel hands on my face and open my eyes. My vision goes blurry at first seeing a warped figure above me but when I blink a few times, a person's face comes into view."Mom?" I ask. "Yes dear." She said, stroking my hair. I immediately went still. The last time my mother had stroked my hair, I was eight and had fallen terribly sick. It was an illness that lasted months and was part of the reason we quickly went broke. My mother noticed my unease with her affection so she stopped, retracting her hand from my hair. Behind her was darkness that I was unfamiliar with and around us and around us was a smell so bad, I had to sit up. Doing that caused the worst headache I had ever had. A pounding ache assaulted my head and began to pulse in my right eye.Another groan, yet I chose to look around. "Where are we?" I asked.My mother shushed me gently and whispered, "We are in a cell."At her words, I instantly became very alert. "A cell? How

    ~ TylerI shouldn't have but I had already started counting the days until I would see Zora again. Our last encounter had left a bitter taste in my soul and my spirit, corrupting my nights and leaving me sleepless. The harsh words that poured from my lips and became the stones that I threw at her now played over and over again in my head like a bad soap opera. I knew if I truly wanted to have peace, then I needed to see Zora again and beg her forgiveness.This was why I was a little bit excited when the guards came to drag me out of my cell to an unknown place. I was so riddled with thoughts of seeing Zora again that when I was brought into an office which had only Emilia, Nox, and his second in command, I automatically searched for her. "Where's Zora?" I asked as the guards worked on adjusting my chains so I could sit in a chair next to Emilia. Nox was seated while Roman stood and I noticed how both men looked sad and angry at the same time, as if something terrible had happened.

    ~ NoxWhen Elsa died, it felt like a part of me had died with her too. Before her, I was in a funk, dealing with the consequences of having a cruel father and a depressed mother. Growing up, Roman was the 'ray of sunshine' who didn't let me stay entirely in the dark and when Elsa came, she totally brought me into the light. She made me feel entirely vulnerable with my guard down. She was a girl I'd do anything for, including fighting my demons and conquering my fear of letting another human into my heart. Everything was fine until the curse took her and she died with her hand in mine. That was when I began to freefall into the deepest darkness I had ever been in and put up layers and layers of protection around my heart.And then Zora came along and began to chip away. She was a woman with a hammer breaking through my shield until she got to the last layer. Elsa. It was a layer I wasn't ready to bring down, not when death hung over her head. Now I find myself wishing she'd walk t

    ~ ZoraI woke up to the rhythm of my own heart beating and when I opened my eyes and looked around, I couldn't help the frustrated sigh that left my mouth when I realized I was in a hospital again. "Zora?" A familiar voice called and I turned my head to the right to see Nox sitting in a chair close to me. "Thank the gods, you're awake." He said, taking my hand in his. Although, I felt sparks tingling up my arms, they felt more like an inconvenience rather than something enjoyable. "What happened? How did I get here?" I asked, racking my head for my last memory. "You don't remember?" I shook my head. "The last thing I remember was…" I pause, suddenly remembering myself drowning. "... dying…and then you pulled me out."Nox met my gaze and I suddenly felt a mixture of guilt and relief emanating from him. "You saved my life." I concluded. “Thank you.”Nox responds by taking my hand to his lips and kissing it repeatedly and it should affect me in a positive light but the more I look
