*****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***** "Welcome, Eri." Erika released a small smile as she ran into Ronan's arms. A small smile on his face too as he patted her back."Damn you've grown." He chuckled as she pulled away and glared at him."It's been 10 years, I'm bound to grow." She replied with a scoff.Ronan nodded in understanding and led her inside as the servants pulled her luggages into the mansion."When Zayn called to tell me that you would be coming over, I was actually so surprised. I mean you rarely visit anyone in the family and then you suddenly want to visit me." He laughed as they walked to the dining room.Erika wanted to ignore him, but she sighed and replied, "That's cause they sent me away from the Packhouse." Ronan stopped walking and turned to look at her."What?" She smiled, taking a seat as she gestured for a maid to pour her a drink."A Lot of shit has been happening at the Moon forest Den packhouse and you know my brothers, very stupid." She muttered and took a sip of the
******Author's POV****** "What do you plan to do?" Ronan asked suspiciously, he wouldn't sit back and watch her do something that would put her in harm's way.She smiled and shook her head."Don't worry, I'll be fine, trust me." She said with a grin and he sighed."Just be safe, don't get in trouble and always go with the guards. This city isn't like others and you have to be very careful, alright?" "Yes, your highness." She said, sarcasm evident in her tone.Ronan chuckled and stood up to his feet."It's late, I'll go check on Little Naty and tomorrow, she'll introduce herself to you." He said and Erika shrugged."Alright, I'll head to my room too." She stood up and walked out of the dining room with him.A maid came forward to lead her to her bedroom.After she said her goodnights to Ronan, she walked into her bedroom, waving the maid off.She shut the door and relaxed on the closed door, shutting her eyes for a brief moment and breathing out."Lavinia," she muttered, a smirk mak
******Author's POV****** "How…. How did you do this?" Erika asked in disbelief as she looked at the phone in her hand and the video that was busily playing.Naty laughed as she closed her laptop and placed it aside."I'm a Lycan, of course I'll be smarter than other kids my age." Erika giggled as well and nodded."That's good, now I have my evidence back and I just need to get more evidence that she really killed that couple." Erika muttered to herself as she kept playing the video over and over again."Killed who? The evil aunt unalived someone?" Naty asked and Erika nodded."Is it appropriate to tell you this?" Naty nodded, "you can tell me all these, I understand." Erika sighed and explained everything in detail to her. How Lavinia was suspected of killing those two but there wasn't any evidence to prove that she really killed them both.Naty tapped her jaw adorably before turning to walk to her desk again.She pulled out a hair tie and walked back to Erika."Your Highness, ca
******Author's POV******The door to the meeting room was pushed open and Ross strolled in. Seated at the head of the long table was Alpha Wren and no one else was in the room with him.His gaze was solely fixed on Ross as she strolled into the room and straight before him."Greetings, Alpha." Ross greeted politely and gave a slight bow.Alpha Wren watched his cold detached son who vowed to never see him as a father in his entire life."Ross, have a seat.""I'm ok here, I don't need to sit." Ross said with a straight face, not beating around the bush or having the interest in having a chat with his father."Ross, I said sit down." Alpha Wren ordered again and this time, he had no other choice but to obey. Ross sat down three chairs away from him and kept his gaze on the table before him."I called you here today in regards of something important I have to discuss with you. Firstly, how is your mother?" Alpha Wren began and as usual, Ross was sarcastic."Why are you asking me about my
******Author's POV****** They arrived at the location where the incident happened back in 2015. Because they wanted to keep their mission a secret from Ronan, they had to just ask the driver and bodyguards to let them stop at a restaurant that was just opposite the apartment where the girl and boy had died years ago."So this is it, I guess." Erika said as they both sat in a booth that was high up from the ground. They could oversee the entire city from there, including the apartment."It looks secluded." Naty said as she sipped the juice Erika had poured for her. "It is." Erika confirmed."So what's the next move now that we arrived?" She asked and Naty nodded."Your Highness, give me the laptop." She said and reached out to receive it from her. Erika passed it on to her and once again, watched as she opened it and began her thing."First off, I need to see if I can get hold of the CCTV cameras here and maybe I can find the deleted clips from 2015." She muttered and Erika walked ar
******Author's POV******"So all these have been happening in the Moon forest Den packhouse and I had no idea?" Lory asked In shock after Erika's explanation. Erika nodded with a sigh."It's all been happening and I felt so embarrassed after all that." She said, rubbing her forehead slightly.Lory watched her in disbelief."I'll help you get that clip back, just hand me your phone and I'll go get Naty's laptop." Lory offered, reaching out a hand to take Erika's phone from her.Erika shook her head with a proud smile."That's it, Naty already helped me recover everything, I'm so grateful to her. I mean how can a 4 year old kid do that?" Erika said with a sigh and Lory widened her eyes again."Wait, Naty did? She can do that?"Erika squinted her eyes and asked, "You had no idea?"Lory shook her head saying no."I didn't to be honest. My daughter had learnt so much within a short span of time?"Pride surged into her heart as she spoke about Little Naty."Yes, your daughter is a gem, The
******Author's POV****** "How did you come about that passage?" Erika asked Naty as she drove towards the location where they visited earlier. Naty looked up at her and smiled thinly."Mummy showed me." "What? How?" "Mummy knows we're out here. She came to me and told me to take you out, she said she would distract Daddy till we return." She explained to Erika's surprise."Wait! Lory knows we left the packhouse?" She asked and Naty nodded.She opened her mouth, wanting to say something but nothing came forward."Wow! And I didn't even know." She laughed.Naty giggled and shrugged, "Mummy is nice." "She truly is!" Erika confirmed as she maneuvered through the streets and finally stopped a step before the building."You stopped?" Naty asked."Yes, we can't stop before the building, so as to not raise any suspicion." She explained, pointing to the security men on duty.Naty looked over to the direction Erika has showed her and she nodded in realization.“Alright, I got it. I'll ge
*****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
