******Elvira's POV******"Daphne?"I nodded and Zayden chuckled."El, are you aware that it's your best friend that you're talking about right now?" He asked.I turned to look at him and nodded. "Of course, I'm aware. But it's the truth, Daphne loathes me. Can we go back to the hotel? I'll explain everything when we arrive." I said and they finally relented.Zayden climbed into the driver's seat and drove the car back to Moonlight Haven.Seeing the Luxurious ambiance of Hotel Moonlight Haven again left me in awe. I could never get over the beauty of this place."I can't believe I survived and returned to see this breathtaking view again." I whispered. Before I could fully absorb the moment, Zayn was by my side, lifting me effortlessly into his arms this time. I felt my heart flutter at his touch, grateful for his protective gesture. I hurriedly nestled into his embrace, feeling safe and shielded from prying eyes."You're safe now." Zayn said and took long strides into the hotel.Zayde
*****Elvira's POV******After explaining everything to the twins, they both stared at me like I was some kind of alien, they couldn't form words after my explanation.I just watched them as they both also watched me."You.... You're the Princess of the Shadowfang Clan?" Zayn asked, blinking In astonishment.Zayden ran a hand through his hair and sighed."This damn vacation is no more a vacation to me." He laughed. Dahlia joined him in laughter too.After a while of laughing, he said, "We need to go back to the packhouse, we've had enough and you need some rest away from toxic people." He said and came towards me."Don't tell us anything anymore, wait till we return to the packhouse." He added.I nodded and leaned further into his touch as he held me close. Zayn had a frown on his face, "You said Daphne is responsible for all these and she was just about to sell you to an old hag?" He asked."She sold me for a night to him." I corrected and all hell let loose."Zayn, you know what to d
*****Elvira's POV*****My eyes fluttered open the next morning with the events of last night still fresh in my mind. Even though the twins didn't go ahead to have sex with me as I expected, it was undeniable that last night was the best night of my life.I glanced around the room in search of them, but they were nowhere to be found."Dahlia, where are they?" I asked the moment I sat up on the bed.I realized what I had on, was it Zayn's T-shirt and Zayden's boxer shorts?My heart felt fuzzy the moment I realized they had cleaned me up last night and dressed me up in their clothes, also tucking me in bed.These were the best mates ever."At the hotel lobby I guess, hurry up and go meet them." She said and I grinned."You're so eager to meet them too?" I asked."Not really, I feel there's something wrong." She answered instead and I frowned."What could go wrong?""Just get dressed and go meet them." I shrugged and obeyed, climbing off the bed and Into the bathroom to freshen up. I had
*****Author's POV*****After the twins had returned from the hospital with Elvira, they tried so hard to stop her from crying, but she wouldn't listen and continued crying endlessly.Thankfully, they finally managed to put her to sleep and immediately booked the next flight that would take them back to the packhouse.Lycansvile seemed to have affected Elvira so much in a negative way. They got into bed and spooned her as they also went to sleep.The next morning when they woke up, Elvira had already woken up and just sat in between them, resting her back on the headboard as she continued crying again.Honestly, the twins hated the fact that she was crying for another man, not just another man but her ex-husband.It didn't sit well for them to watch their Luna cry for another man just because the man saved her life.Zayden sat up as well after rubbing the sleep off his eyes. He reached out to pull Elvira into his arms again, patting her head and peppering kisses on her head.That was t
******Elvira's POV******We got out of the car and Eric together with Erika were standing by the entrance awaiting our arrival. My gaze first fell on Eric who had a warm smile on his face that made his eyes twinkle, then they shifted to Erika and I noticed something odd. She had dark bags under her eyes, her skin seemed to be pale like someone suffering from wolf fever and she looked very weak. I couldn't help but feel rather concerned about her and kept on wondering what happened here while we were gone. Did the person do something to her?Looking at my mates, they probably saw what I saw even if they didn't say anything about it. The three of us walked to the entrance with me walking in between them as each one of them held each one of my hands in theirs. Both their hands were warm and I couldn't help but get tingles. I felt so lucky that I had them. They always made me feel safe and what they did was a sweet gesture that I appreciated a lot. We eventually reached where Eric and
*****Elvira's POV*****My heart hammered in my chest as we waited for the doctor and his response on Rika’s health. I was panicking deep within me as I watched the door to the ward.“El, what happened to her?” Zayden asked me as he came to stand before me and Zayn. He hadn’t been around when the incident happened.I glanced at him, trying to control the tears that were threatening to spill from my eyes. “A few moments ago, we were just conversing when suddenly, she stood up to come closer to me and she swayed then went limp.'' I explained and Zayden raised a brow.“I knew something was wrong the very moment I saw her pale face when we returned. Erika has always been a happy and spoiled child to us and this entire pack, seeing her in such a state, broke my heart.” Zayn added and sighed.“She’ll be fine, alright?” I assured them and they nodded in understanding.We stayed silent, waiting for the doctor and his result.After a while, the door to the ward was pulled open and the doctor wa
*****Elvira's POV*****A few days passed with me still spending 30% of each day trying to convince Erika to accept the option of removing the child.Each day remained the same.She would say no and send me out of her room. And yes, we were back home.I had just stepped out of the bathroom, still having my bathrobe on and my hair tied to the top of my head when a knock came at the door.I looked towards it before taking a seat on the bed."Come in." I knew it wasn't the twins because this was their room and they needed not to knock at all.A maid walked in and bowed."Greetings, Luna El.""Yes, what is it?" I asked, raising a questioning brow and the maid reported."Someone from the Shadowed moon pack is here to see you ma'am." She informed me and I frowned.Someone from the Shadowed moon pack was here to see me?Yes, I remembered that Archie's body had been delivered to them, but no one told them exactly what happened to his body.Or that Daphne sent assassins after us."Ok, I'll be t
******Author's POV******Jaxon finally left after Elvira had explained the exact same thing Daphne told her. He was baffled, but believed her words.Elvira walked straight to Erika's room to check up on her one more time.But the moment she knocked on the door, Erika yelled from the inside."Elvira, if you're here to convince me about removing my pregnancy, you'd better leave!"Elvira sighed, not knowing what to do and just walked away from the door.She made her way to her bedroom instead, since Erika refused to talk.Zayn and Zayden had visited the Pack's orphanage to check up on the children that were almost killed by a fire.The orphanage had caught a fire and they refused to tell Elvira about it, saying they needed her to rest and gain her strength first.Just as they arrived home, they climbed off the car and made their way to the entrance when the sound of clicking heels caught their attention."Zayn, Zayden!" They heard their names from behind, the person's voice sounding very
*****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
