*****Author's POV*****A week later, the queen's funeral was finally done and it was finally two days until Christmas. In that one week, there weren't any attacks on Elvira, but it never stopped the twins from being on high alert or letting their guards down. The security in the packhouse doubled for Elvira's sake and the doctor visited her to check on her daily.Soon, Elvira fully recovered and officially took over the pack's duties as Luna. She visited the Pack's orphanage with Erika and Daphne, making sure that the children lived well and everything went well. At the same time, everyone prepared for Christmas day in two days.The twins even had to move from the room they intended to share with Elvira in order not to lose themselves and ended up touching her when she was still ill. But in all, they still didn't stop their hunt for the mysterious person who was out to get their Luna.They also never stopped investigating Griffin.Griffin was actually seen on a daily basis, either in
*****Elvira's POV*****The twins made me leave the house with Daphne and Erika to go shopping. I just couldn't wait to see the surprise they had in store for me.Erika drove the car, Daphne sat in the passenger seat while I sat at the back like some car owner.Behind us, was another car filled with bodyguards. The twins made sure that I went with a lot of them."Look who's been smiling ever since!" Erika suddenly yelled from the driver seat and I looked over, wiping the smile off my face immediately. The twins gave me a limitless black card to buy whatsoever I wanted to buy, and I couldn't help the smile that formed on my face.Erika seemed to have seen me smiling through the rearview mirror, that was why she teased me.I smiled and looked down sheepishly, feeling the heat rising to my cheek."You look so beautiful with that color tainting your cheek, Luna" she teased again and I chuckled."Stop it, Rika, you're the worst." I said and looked outside, biting the inside of my cheek to h
*****Elvira's POV*****That woman glanced at me and the moment our eyes met, she smirked. I saw her began to approach me and my heart beat quickened."Stay calm, she can't do nothing to you." Dahlia growled and I breathed. I had her and I was the Luna also, I shouldn't be scared of her anymore.I dragged in ragged breaths before standing tall with a straight back and a head held high. I walked in her direction also, not missing the look of surprise that flashed in her eyes when she saw me walking towards her as well.I looked past her and tried to also walk past her, but suddenly, she pulled me by my arm and pulled me back gently.I raised a brow while standing before her, a look of disgust flashing in my eyes."What's the meaning of this?" I asked her and she smiled."If it isn't the new Luna of the Moonforest Den pack. Congratulations on becoming Luna." She said with a chuckle.I glared at her, being serious this time as I asked again, "And the last time I checked, we weren't acquai
******Elvira's POV******Finally, we returned to the packhouse after the day's events. After I had finished the manicure as requested by Erika, we left to grab a bite of something and there, I bugged her into telling me the truth about the surprise. She told me the surprise, but it still remained a surprise since she didn't tell me the location of the vacation planned by the twins.We dropped Daphne back at home and then visited my parents for a brief greeting before we left for the Moonforest Den packhouse. When we arrived, the twins weren't home. The only person we saw at home was Eric who came to get something from the office of the twins. We asked about the twins and he said they were having a meeting at the club and would arrive later in the night.I bid Erika goodbye and made my way into our bedroom to let the maids place the shopping bags in the room and also have a shower. I was a bit disappointed because the twins weren't home to see my new look, one they made me archive agai
******Elvira's POV******The next morning, my eyes opened to a different ceiling from the one I slept under the previous night. I blinked in realization, this was my room instead of Erika's room.But how did I get here? I remembered sleeping off in Erika's room yesterday, but I woke up in my room today.Just as I tried to move, I realized that I was wrapped in the warm arms of someone. I looked up to see Zayden's peaceful face as he slept.A smile made it's way to my face as I stared at him. He must have brought me into the room last night and slept on my bed."Good morning, Baby." His deep voice rang out suddenly, his eyes still closed as a smile appeared on his face."How did you know that I was awake?" I asked, returning the smile."You moved, remember?" This time, he opened his eyes to look at me and I blushed.Zayden was so damn hot, especially his piercings that made him even hotter. I noticed a new piercing on his lips and I raised a brow with a surprised smile."You got a new
*****Author's POV*****Elvira went over to the bathroom of the airport to relieve herself and afterwards, returned to her mates who sat at the Airport diner. They had lots of meals laid out before them on the table.The moment she saw the food, her stomach roared, indicating that she needed food. Zayden made space for her to sit closer to him."Are you hungry?" He asked and she nodded as she sat beside him. Zayden extended his hand to bring the pancakes over as he served some stacks into her plate. Elvira beamed at him as she ate the stack of pancakes on her plate.Zayn watched her with a smile and once she noticed, she raised a questioning brow as she asked, "What?" "Nothing, you have some appetite." He snickered as he leaned back in his seat. Elvira rolled her eyes at him and feasted into the meal before her again."He means to say that our previous girlfriends would be nervous if they were in your position.Elvira froze at his words and she turned to look at Zayden. Zayden who was
******Author's POV******"I'll kill her, Mark my words!" Violetta yelled again, pulling her hair in anger as she sat on a chair in the cottage. The woman in the black cloak just sat there watching her as she ranted."You lost the child?" She asked and Violetta teared up again. "Yes, I lost the child and Archie is very mad this time. I'm happy because he will finally get the justice I deserve." She replied and the cloak woman chuckled."He wants to fight for a child that isn't his?" She asked in amusement as she watched Violetta freeze in her tracks.Her face darkened as she turned to glare at the woman in the cloak."Keep your mouth shut, if anyone hears this I'll be in big trouble." She warned through gritted teeth, also wincing as the pain from earlier assaulted her senses again."Fuck, It hurts!" She whined, relaxing in the chair and breathing through her mouth. "You should have seen the way she treated me! Those guards didn't spare me even after telling them I was pregnant!" Rage
*****Author's POV*****"Are you really going to wage a war against the Moon forest Den pack for Violetta's sake?" Jaxon asked, following Archie into his office. Archie was being unreasonable again and Jaxon was so close to losing it."I'm waging a war on Elvira, not the pack. And I'm not doing it for Violetta, I'm doing it for my unborn child that was killed by Elvira." Archie gritted out as he plopped down on his seat.Pain and Rage consumed him as he remembered how battered Violetta looked when she was delivered to the Shadowed moon packhouse with a note.Because Elvira became Luna, she thought that she could do whatever she wanted."You waging war on Elvira is equivalent to waging war on the Lycan Twins." Jaxon growled, "Can you just stop this? Did you even ask Violetta what she did to Elvira to bring about this punishment?"Archie's head snapped to Jaxon's direction as his gaze darkened. "You have never liked Violetta ever since she became the Luna of this pack, I'm not surprised
*****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
