******Author's POV****** The stranger screamed bloody murder as the knife was directed at his eyes and stabbed fiercely.Eric pulled him out of the room as the blood splattered everywhere even on Erika's dress.Eric cursed on seeing this, but he winked at Erika before pulling the stranger straight downstairs."You've made the worst mistake of your miserable life by coming to harm the Lycans' Luna. Now you will feel the wrath of all the Lycans combined." Erika said with a chuckle they climbed down the stairs, already gaining the attention of everyone in the room.Lavinia jolted up from her seat on seeing her partner being dragged down the stairs, bloodied as a knife was stabbed deep into his eye.Guests freaked out and a few of them began making their way to the exit. Some stayed by as the guards trooped in just then.Erika didn't even waste a second and rushed over to Lavinia.She grabbed Lavinia and Lavinia thrashed around."Erika what are you doing?!" She yelled, trying to yank her
******Elvira's POV****** Seeing the tears that stung Erika's eyes just for trying to help me, I felt my heart squeeze in pain. I wouldn't need evidence from her to know that she was actually saying the truth just now. I knew Lavinia quite well. She didn't and would never like me.She had threatened me in the past, so she was obviously after Erika.I watched as Erika wiped her tears and turned to stomp her way upstairs. I turned to Eric and he gave a polite bow towards the twins."I'll go deal with that." He said and left immediately.I turned to look at Lavinia and she tilted her head slightly to give out a pitiful look, but in reality she was glaring and smiling at me.She even winked before going to throw herself into Zayden's arms as she sobbed.I clenched my fist at that, she sure doesn't give up so easily.I made a mental note to go see Erika once the ceremony was over.Thankfully, things went back to normal, and the party proceeded.I felt my feet give up on me, so I went to fi
*****Elvira’s POV***** "But, why?” Erika asked me again, wanting to know why I suddenly believed her instead of following her brothers who wanted evidence.I sighed, reaching out a hand to pat her hair slightly, and smiled."I might not have known that Lavinia girl personally, but I do know that she is evil-minded. She is a desperate bitch too and would do anything for power.” I said, my gaze fixed on her window, the night sky precisely."You’re right, but what exactly did she do?” She pressed, wanting to know the reason behind my words.I looked into her eyes and finally told her the truth, "Lavinia threatened me because I’m with your brothers, so I’m not surprised if she hired that guy to come and harm me. I’ve seen the recent looks in her eyes, and she must have tampered with the evidence you both had.” I pointed out and Erika bit her lower lip in understanding."There is indeed a high chance she messed with it, but how did she get her hands on it?” Erika asked me, I shrugged agai
*****Author's POV*****Once it was confirmed that Elvira had entered her bedroom, Zayn turned to Erika again, his gaze darkening even more."Tomorrow morning, be prepared to go stay with Ronan." He spat out, the cold glint in his eyes not diminishing for once.Lavinia smiled inwardly in satisfaction as she saw Erika's face. This was exactly what she wanted, to make Erika leave the house so she could have a chance with the twins."If I leave this house, I will never come back." Erika said through clenched teeth and without waiting for a reply, she turned around and dashed out of the packhouse, but not after snatching the car keys from a guard who stood at the side.Eric who was coming in at that time tried to stop her, but she pushed him away and ran past him."Erika, come back here!" Zayden's voice boomed, trying to assert dominance again and make Erika get scared and return immediately, but she didn't listen and directly left the packhouse in her car.They both stared at the entrance
******Author's POV*****Eric brought her home, and took her straight to her bedroom. He made sure the twins didn't see her and realized that she went against their rules of not drinking.Once he was securely in her room, he pulled the covers away and placed her down on her bed.She mumbled a few things to herself, one that Eric couldn't quite understand.Eric pulled away after he had made sure she was alright, then he stood there staring at her face. The fact that The Twins treated her this way tugged at his heart and he was this close to lashing out at them and making them understand that their sister was a very caring and observant person.She wasn't just looking out for their Luna, but also looking out for them and making sure they were alright. But her little gesture was considered a bully by her brothers and now, they wanted her out of the house.A sigh left his face as he couldn't stop staring at her. His Lycan was this close to reaching out to her ever since they both developed
******Elvira's POV******A call from my parents came at night and I had to visit them in the morning. Once I got dressed, I walked out of the room and straight downstairs.The Twins were seated in the living room discussing when I came in.I refused to look at them and just walked towards the entrance."Elvira!" I heard one of them call out to me, but I wasn't in the mood to listen to whatever he had to say.The driver stood still, not wanting to open the door to the car because one of the twins was after me."You don't want to open the door?" I asked with a raised brow and he bowed his head.A small smile appeared on my face and I turned towards the gate. I would take a Taxi to the Shadowfang Clan."Elvira, where are you going?!" I heard him yell again and this time, the footsteps added.It seemed that both of them were coming after me this time.I ignored them and walked straight to the gate.The guard in charge of the gate refused to make a move and kept his gaze lowered."Open the
******Author's POV******Freya brought her over to the guest room and made her sit on one of the chairs inside.Elvira watched her curiously, trying to decipher what she was thinking.Freya smiled at her and said, "Firstly, I'll apologize for actually taking you away from the discussion you all were having just now." Elvira hearing this, shook her head, "No need, Freya. Please go on." She said and Freya sighed before taking a seat."So, I called you over because I wanted to speak to you about what's been happening lately. Earlier I saw something that got me worried, so I decided to either come over to the Moon forest Den pack, or call you to come over." She paused and Elvira nodded seriously, telling her that she was following up."Elvira, I'm sorry if this sounds weird, but someone out there wants to harm you. Not just harming you, but also killing you and your child." "What?" Elvira asked, and Freya nodded.Elvira's was shocked that Freya would find out about this so quickly."I a
*****Author's POV***** "Round this shit up and let's get the hell out of here." Zayden groaned for the untenth time as the meeting slowly reached the end. The Elders were already tired of his nagging and decided to hurry up whatever they were doing.Eric glanced at Zayden and chuckled alongside Zayn. Zayden looked up at them, narrowing his eyes at the sudden look they were giving him."What?" He asked and they both shook their heads, not wanting to tell him what was wrong.Zayden wasn't satisfied, "You both tell me!" He growled, almost slamming his hands on the desk."You look like a pregnant she-wolf when you nag." Zayn finally said and watched as Zayden's face scrunched up on disgust.He didn't know whether to cry or laugh at those words from his brother.Him? Pregnant She-Wolf?"He is right, you know?" Lexi, his Lycan confirmed it."Oh just shut up!" He growled at Lexi, then turned to the others, including the elders who joined in the laughter."I don't nag! I'm merely expressing
*****Author's POV*****A few months later…Sound of cheers and applause erupted in the entire pack hall as Ross and Erika were finally mated.They were then taken to the altar of the goddess to crown them the Alpha and Luna of the Shadowfang Clan.Eric watched from the sides with a smile on his face. Even if he didn't end up as Erika's husband and mate, he still had a friend to turn to.He watched her protruding belly and sighed.She even realized she was pregnant on the same day she told him that she couldn't be with him. That was enough to tell him that she wasn't ever going to be his, no matter how hard he tried.Once they had completed the rituals and everything related, everyone went forward to congratulate them one after the other. Zayn helped Elvira as he led her to congratulate the couple as well."Congrats, Rika." She beamed as she went ahead to hug Erika.She then turned to Ross."Congrats, Brother." She said to his surprise and he grinned."Thank you, Luna." He returned an
*****Author's POV***** Just as instructed, Eric found Celine at the airport and she was captured at once.She was taken back to the Moonforest Den packhouse and killed by hanging.She died with her eyes open. One of the most shameful deaths in the entire Moonforest Den.Ronan, Lory and Naty stayed back at the packhouse to help things run smoothly while the operations were on.Finally, Elvira and Zayn returned to the packhouse and for the first time, Ronan and Lory saw Elvira closely."Hello, Luna. I'm Luna Lorelei, Queen of Lycansvile. It's my pleasure to finally meet you." Lory began the introduction the moment Zayn and Ronan walked out.Naty and Erika watched the smile that appeared on Elvira's face."It's a pleasure to meet you too, Your Highness." She returned and pulled her in for a hug.Lory felt happy that Elvira wasn't the arrogant nonchalant type of Luna who saw others below her.After they pulled away from the hug, Lory gestured for Erika to bring Naty over."Hello little o
*****Author's POV*****The moment Zayden was sent over to the hospital, Zayn and some men got a call from a maid at the Nocturnes manor. "Who is this and what do you want?" He asked impatiently and the maid at the other side breathed."Your highness, my name is Nicole and I'm calling from the Nocturne's Manor." Zayn frowned."What do you want?" "Alpha, it's Mr Nocturne. He… he is dead." She informed him and Zayn froze. "What?" Zayn jerked up from the hospital chair."When and how did it happen?" "It was… Mrs Nocturne who killed him under Miss Lavinia's orders." Hearing this, Zayn's fist clenched and he turned to look at Eric. Erika was with Elvira and Freya in one of the hospital rooms.Through the mindlink, Zayn spoke to Eric."Get and kill Lavinia's mother this instant." Eric nodded and bowed before walking out."Where is Celine?" Zayn asked Nicole and Nicole immediately replied."She is busily packing, about to go abroad." Zayn felt disgusted by that woman.After killing
*****Author's POV***** Nervousness suddenly enveloped her as she neared the cottage. The guards noticed the woman coming forward with glasses on and immediately halted her."Stop!" One of them shouted at her and she stopped immediately."Who the hell are you?!" He asked and she cleared her throat."I'm Elvira, I presume your mistress must be looking for me!" She purposely yelled out loud and just then, Lavinia ran out from the top room directly to the entrance."You?" Her jaw dropped open the moment she saw the intruder."Why are you here?!" Elvira bit down her nervousness as she watched the bitch before her. "Do you think it's time to take the glasses off?" This time, she directed the question at Dahlia."No, It's too early for that. Try to drag this out longer and get some pieces of information from her as well. It'll do the team good." Dahlia instructed and Elvira immediately obeyed."Lavinia, I know you want me, That's why I came here." She managed to say as she stilled her re
*****Author's POV*****"Do you have to do this?" Zayden asked as he pulled Elvira closer, nestling his face in the crook of her fair neck. Elvira smiled and patted his head, Zayn had gone with Griffin to find the location where Lavinia's hideout was situated.Elvira was currently sitting on Zayden's lap with his arms wrapped around her protectively."Yes, I have to. We need to live a normal life again, a life with no fear or watching our backs. If we eventually leave her to do as she pleases without taking her down, we would be at the losing end, Zayden." She reasoned."All I want is for our unborn child to be safe and sound when coming into this world. Don't you want that too?" She asked and this time, he had no choice but to accept."Elvira, nothing must happen to you." He added and she smiled."Nothing will happen to me." She said and nodded at him. Soon, the door to the room was pushed open and Zayn walked In with a gloomy expression."El, do you have to do this?" Be asked the sa
*****Author's POV*****"He should die." Came Lavinia's reply the moment Celine informed her about her father being a snitch."Vina baby, that's your father we're talking about." Celine pointed out, reminding her in case she forgot."I don't care, mum. He had the guts to snitch on me and tell them where to find me." "I'm not sure, Vina. The maids said he left after placing a call across to the twins." Celine explained."And what do you think he would place a call across to them for? Mum just listen to me, I'll let them come over and find me, I already prepared the perfect death for Elvira. Meanwhile, I want my father dead!" She yelled the last part.Celine sighed exhaustedly, "Alright, I'll do it. Just be careful." "I will, mum. Thank you." She said and ended the call before her mother would say any more words.Once she had ended the call, she looked down at her phone and smiled."Well, well, well. The Lycan Kings are on their way to visit me. This would be fun." She murmured and wal
*****Author's POV*****They stayed at the cafe that was a few blocks away from the Nocturnes Manor as they waited for Derek Nocturne.Sooner than expected, he walked into the cafe. Firstly, the Twins couldn't recognize him, they felt confused when he suddenly approached their table with a smile."And you are?" Zayden asked sarcastically. "Derek Nocturne, I'm surprised you don't remember me anymore." He said and chuckled at the boys.Zayden, being overly dramatic, gasped in shock when he heard the man's name."Mr Nocturne? What happened to you?" Zayden asked, unable to hold his shock.They all knew Derek right from when they were still in their diapers. They knew he was rich and very influential. But suddenly, he looked tattered and old.Derek chuckled and took a seat before them. Ross kept on a poker face as he didn't know who the man was. Zayn still had his perfectly carved brow lifted up in a questioning form as he waited for the man's response."Mr Nocturne, what happened? Why do
*****Author's POV*****"Where is your daughter?" Zayden asked Mrs Nocturne, Lavinia's mother the moment she came out to welcome them.She paused in her tracks, raising a questioning brow at them."What is that supposed to mean?" She asked, feigning ignorance.Zayn watched her, Scrutinizing her facial reactions."We're here to see Lavinia. That's simply what if means." He fired back at her and she swallowed."Alphas, my daughter left this house two days ago, returning to the Moonforest Den Pack. So how would she be here?" She asked them in return and this time, they frowned.Firstly, her facial expressions were indeed one of being confused and ignorant. Did she really not know where her daughter was?"You don't know where your daughter is?" Zayn asked with a scoff and Lavinia's mother glared at him."What's going on here? I hope nothing has happened to my daughter? Alphas! Where is she?""If you ask us, are we to ask?" Zayden asked her sarcastically."Just know that your daughter never
*****Elvira's POV*****The car drove us back to the Packhouse and once we arrived, Erika wasted no time in pushing her door open. I also got down from the car and followed her as we walked into the mansion.“Can you identify her when you see her?” Erika asked without turning to look at me. I gave a firm nod and said, “Of course, I know that face very well.”“Good. Everyone! Assemble at once, to the living room!” She screamed at the top of her voice and not so long later, all the maids and guards gathered together in the living room. She watched them all lined up and gazes lowered to the floor.She turned to look at me, but I turned to look at the maid who had deceived me on that day."El?” Erika called out to me, seeing I wasn't averting my gaze.“There, she is the one." I finally said, pointing at the fair maid.Erika's head snapped in the direction of the maid. She then walked slowly but steadily towards her.The maid suddenly went on her knees as tears filled her eyes. "Your highn
