*****Elvira's POV*****A knock soon came at the door, indicating that the girls had arrived. The door was pushed open and in walked Daphne and Erika.Zayn watched as they both came to sit by my side, directly chasing Zayden away. Zayden's gaze darkened, but I blew him a kiss and he dramatically caught it immediately before beaming at me."That's more like it!"The three of us chuckled at his childishness before turning to Zayn."We're here now, Zayn." Erika said with a smile. Zayn cleared his throat and began."I already told this to El and she already explained how the accident happened. It was clearly a well proofed plot to kill her, but they failed. So I believe they would definitely come to this party to finish up the work they started." Zayn explained and I turned to see fear flash in Erika and Daphne's eyes."So what is the plan?" Erika asked, raising a confused brow. I also watched Zayn expectantly as I also felt the same confusion she felt.Zayn smiled and said, "It's simple,
*****Author's POV*****The trio went downstairs to the ballroom and realized that guests were beginning to arrive."We have to hurry up to the entrance, we can't delay it." Daphne said as they hurried their step down the stairs. They soon spotted the twins and their mother at the other side and they led Elvira in that direction.The twins were conversing with the queen about Elvira when they suddenly perceived the honeysuckles she smelled like. Instantly, they knew she was nearby. They both turned, only to be met with a jaw dropping sight of Elvira looking gorgeous in a red knee length strapless dress.She had her hair flowing behind her and that bandage actually added a bit of beauty to her appearance for some weird reason.She flashed them a smile as the queen waved at her."El!" She cheered and Elvira hurried over to hug her. "Hi Your Highness.""Just call me Mum." The queen said with a frown as she pulled away from Elvira.Elvira smiled and nodded. "Hi, Mum" she repeated and the q
******Elvira's POV******Everything happened so fast, one minute the Queen was running towards me, the next moment, the chandelier fell over her.Guests screamed and began to run out of the ballroom. I myself sat on the floor watching the shattered chandelier and the silhouette of the Queen in the middle of the mess.I felt so many emotions at once as I sat there on the floor. My head was throbbing and I felt light headed. I had a feeling I was going to pass out.I was watching the twins panic as they ran around trying to get their mother out of the flames.The Queen had not just saved my life, but she also sacrificed her life in the process. I felt my whole world crumble as I sat there, my gaze fixed on the entire crowd trying to put off the fire.When I looked up, I saw a figure, someone dressed in a maid's outfit running towards the exit.But I refuse to let that person escape after what they did to the Queen.Without warning, I struggled to get up to my feet, then in one swift mot
*****Author's POV*****"I just hate this bitch for always pulling me away from home." Violetta gritted her teeth in annoyance as she drove through the wet streets in the same direction of the cottage.As soon as December 5th arrived, the snow began to fall, leaving the streets wet and the weather cold.After the incident at the Moonforest Den packhouse, Letty and Archie had left after Archie had delivered the girl who cut the chandelier.Violetta knew exactly who was responsible for the chandelier incident."I used to think she wasn't that smart, but today I got really scared. I was busily looking out for her in the crowd, thinking she would send a silver blade again or something, only to be met with a chandelier falling. That bitch is crazy and I just can't get on her bad side, she'll kill me like a damn animal!" Violetta yelled again as she drove into the forest.Ashira sighed in return and said honestly, "You're right, she is so smart and tactical. I wasn't expecting her to use Tas
*****Author's POV*****The door to the ward was pushed open and the doctor walked out while removing his gloves. Zayn and Zayden rushed to where he stood, together with Erika."James, what's the progress? How are they?" Zayn asked directly and a look flashed in the doctor's eyes.Erika clearly saw the look that flashed in his eyes, but she bit her tongue to stop herself from asking any questions that could hurt her brothers and her.Elvira's parents and Daphne walked in just then and seeing the twins clustered around the doctor, they also made their way to stand before the doctor.The Doctor, James, wasn't speaking up, so the twins got impatient."Doc, say something." Elvira's mum pleaded with tears in her eyes. The Doctor glanced at each and everyone of the faces before him, then breathed out a sigh."I have bad news and good news, please which would you like to hear first?""Bad news" Erika said from behind and the doctor gave a nod."The bad news is that we lost the queen." He said
*****Author's POV*****"Griffin?" Zayn asked in shock, "You think Griffin is responsible for this?""Of course, ever since he came back, bad things had been happening." Loki explained and Zayn blinked.He would have believed what Loki said, but Griffin wasn't present at the time of the poisoning, so he couldn't have orchestrated the whole thing."So what if he wasn't present? Griffin is evil, he could have manipulated his way into finding out the doings of the pack. That way, he could get the information that you both found our mates." Everything Loki said made sense, but Zayn found it hard to believe as he was in a state of confusion.If his words were exactly as he explained, then it meant that Griffin, who hadn't been seen for the past eight years, had been keeping an eye on them.He had been watching their every move and only he could know that they both found their mate."Goodness, I can't believe this. Why didn't I ever think of this?" He asked Loki as he sucked in a breath."We
*****Elvira's POV*****"Just relax and try not to dwell on it too much, everything will be fine," my mum repeated when I mentioned the passing of the Lycan queen again.Her departure was so heartbreaking, a moment etched in my memory forever, one that I could never erase. The Lycan Queen sacrificed herself to protect me, a moment that felt both unreal and deeply moving.My mum ran a hand through my hair, as if to pull me out of my train of thoughts. I flashed a small smile in her direction and relaxed again on the bed.My dad smiled when our eyes met as well."Elvira, everything that has happened so far, is for a good course." He said and I blinked. A good course? And someone lost their life?"I know you must think I'm not making any sense, but the moon goddess doesn't want you dead just yet, or else, the stab on the hearing day would have ended you. Forget the Chandelier." Dad reasoned and I began to see the meanings attached to his words."Your father is right." Dahlia supported and
*****Author's POV*****The Enigma Lounge was alive with thumping music, and girls in revealing outfits were dancing on stage. Zayn and Zayden were chilling in the back room like before, casually sipping their drinks without feeling the effects.They were surrounded by other guys, each with a girl on their lap.The twins had no one with them and they didn't bother either. Just then, Zayn's phone went off and he answered the phone."Yes?""Alpha, The Luna has just been discharged, she asked that you both come pick her up." The voice said from the other end and Zayn stood up instantly with a small smile.Zayden turned to him and used a hand to gesture his question."Elvira has been discharged and she asked us to come pick her up." Zayn informed calmly and a smile found its way to Zayden's face."Really? She asked for us?" Zayden asked to confirm and once Zayn nodded, Zayden flew past him to the exit excitedly.The other men In the room watched the Twins as they both left the room with sm
*****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
