*****Elvira's POV***** I was dragged away from the restaurant and stuffed into Zayden's car as requested by him, then the car sped off from the premises.Daphne was yelling out to them—Zayden, Zayn and Erika as they drove off, leaving behind dust in their trail.I sat silently beside Erika as the silent twin drove straight towards the Moon forest Den estate.In no time, the silent twin drove into the estate and directly to the packhouse. The entire place had a beautiful and sophisticated appearance, with beautiful flowers and a huge fountain at the center of the compound.But I wasn't given the time to admire the entire place because I was immediately pulled out of the car the moment it came to a halt at the entrance."El, you have to stay calm, okay?" Dahlia suddenly said to me and I hummed in reply. She said nothing more as I was led into the huge pack mansion, fear settling at the pit of my stomach when I was pulled to the direction of what seemed to be a dungeon.My feet trembled
*****Author's POV*****The door to Alpha Archie's office was pushed open and in walked Jaxon with a grin. Archie lifted his eyes lazily to look at him and just snorted."What do you want?" He asked lazily as he took a sip of a substance in his cup.Jaxon strolled over to a seat that was opposite Archie's and sat down."I heard the orphanage construction would be finished in three days," Jaxon announced excitedly.Archie gave a slight nod of confirmation, "Yes, we'll begin the renovation for the hospital soon," he added and Jaxon beamed excitedly.The pack's hospital was the fourth biggest in the entire city and the first three biggest were the ones owned by the Moonforest Den pack; the Lycans pack.The last renovation for the Shadowed Moon Pack's hospital had been 10 years after the previous Alpha, Alpha Leopold, Father to Archie, died.Though the pack's hospital wasn't looking in the least bad when it came to luxury and exquisite equipment, it still needed a few changes and that was
*****Author's POV*****Archie dashed towards the direction of his Luna's room, his heart racing at the thought of any harm befalling his wife and unborn child. Getting to her room, he found her lying on the floor in her room as more than four maids couldn't stop calling out to her.Archie pushed everyone aside and knelt by her side to lift her off the ground."Get the car ready!" He yelled as he dashed out of the room with her in his arms.Archie ran to the car desperately and carefully placed his Luna at the back seat. He turned around and was surprised that Jaxon wasn't with them."Is that punk still in my office?" He muttered to himself in annoyance. "You," he pointed at one of the guards on duty by the corner, "Go upstairs to my office and tell Jaxon that if he doesn't get down here this instant, he would have me to_" He was cut short as Jaxon stepped out of the mansion."Will you quit threatening me!" Jaxon yelled with an eye roll as he walked to his car. Archie snorted and tri
*****Author's POV*****Violetta watched as Archie put his phone away into his pocket and a smile replacing the worried look he had on earlier.He moved even closer to the hospital bed, eyes shining with happiness and the worried feeling of helping Elvira vanished without a trace."Letty, are you alright?" Archie asked as he ran a hand through her soft brown hair. Violetta tried to sit up, but Archie didn't let her."Stay down for now, you're not so strong,"Violetta obeyed and stayed lying down. She smiled thinly at Archie before extending her hand to touch his face. "You look so worked up, love. Why?" She asked, her voice filled with sweetness as always.Archie smiled in return at her smooth soothing tone of voice. One that Elvira would never have."You fainted suddenly, that scared shit out of me for goodness sake!" Archie unknowingly sighed as he kept running a hand through her lush hair. Violetta's smile widened and she bit her lower lip seductively."My love, I'm fine. I only fel
*****Elvira's POV*****Days passed, or so I thought. It wasn't a surprise for me to think that I had been locked up here in the cell for days, when I hadn't even seen the outside world, hadn't heard from Daphne or anyone else and I hadn't even heard from Dahlia.I sighed as I heard the jingling sound of keys, I looked up to see two guards walking in, and I knew what they were here for.To take me to the interrogation room.Honestly, I was very surprised because I had expected the twins to mistreat me and force the truth out of me, though I was innocent. But they did nothing of such and I heard their mother was recovering quite well.The guards, as I expected, pulled me up and took me out of the cell.We soon got into the interrogation room and I saw the calm twin sitting on the table as usual.He had always been the one to come and ask the questions which I continuously have one answer to.I could differentiate them because of the eyebrow piercing Zayden had. Zayn was the opposite. El
*****Author's POV*****"Are you really going to do that?" Erika asked Zayn for the untenth time as they both walked into the meeting room where all the elders were gathered.Zayn hummed in reply, patiently putting up with his annoying sister. She finally kept quiet as they took their seats before the elders.The elders stood up from their seats to bow in respect and sat back down afterwards.Zayn looked at everyone before he cleared his throat."Lycan Elders, you must be wondering why I called you all here," he paused, then continued, "It's because of my mother's health issue. Unfortunately, we found the culprit to be me and my brother's mate, so we can't accept her. She tried to kill the Lycan queen, which I'm pretty sure y'all know the consequences?" Zayn asked and watched as they all nodded.Erika decided to speak up next, "Elders, my brothers can't accept someone who tried to kill our mother, who knows what she'll do if she eventually becomes your Luna,"Her words made sense and t
*****Elvira's POV*****Finally, the day of doom arrived and I was dragged out of the cell towards a car outside the packhouse. I already accepted my fate as I knew that nothing could save me at this point. The car sped off once I was settled in it. No one was sitting with me in the back seat as the car left the Moonforest Den estate.They were bringing me to wolf media, and I just stayed put, allowing whatever they wanted to happen. My parents still hadn't come to see me, or was it that they couldn't get through because it was the Moonforest Den?I watched the trees and buildings as we drove past them to the wolf media.Honestly, I was scared of going to Wolf media. It was more like a court, but one where it would be broadcasted in the entire news station. It was one embarrassing way to get rejected and killed.There had been a few people who died in this way. Being taken to the wolf media and getting rejected before the entire city, then getting killed. I shut my eyes at my own fate.
*****Author's POV*****Archie froze on hearing the words of the elder. Elvira was the Lycan Kings' Mate? Like her second chances?He never saw that coming.A part of him felt terrible for some reason as he heard those words. How could Elvira be mated to the Lycan twins?Jealousy crept into his heart, but when he heard the word Reject, he breathed out in relief.He wasn't wishing Elvira bad, but a part of him couldn't accept that she was the Lycans' Mate. She was just a girl he dumped, how could she be mated to a Lycan?Especially the arrogant twins.Zayn glanced around for his brother, he mindlinked Zayden, but Zayden was nowhere to be found.He tried one more time, but Zayden never responded to his calls through the mindlink.The elder still waiting for them, called out to Zayn, "Alpha Zayn, where is your brother?" He asked.Zayn stood up calmly, making every lady in the room swoon over his good looks. He was the most dashing man in the room. "He will be here soon," Was all he said.
*****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
