*****Author's POV*****Zayn and Lavinia stared at them in disbelief as they saw them both still making out even though they had walked in on them."You both stop!" Zayn growled and Zayden finally pulled away. Elvira's breathing was ragged as she licked her lower lip.Lavinia smirked inwardly, thinking Zayn was annoyed and would lash out at them. But she never expected the next thing he actually did."You can't just kiss her like that without me! I want a kiss too!" He yelled out and ran towards Elvira to also claim her lips in a kiss.Lavinia was left standing there in shock as she witnessed this scene before her. She clenched her fist as anger surged through her on seeing the way the twins treated Elvira.She should have been the one in that position and not her!Once Zayn pulled away, he smiled in satisfaction and turned to see that Lavinia was still waiting for them.She masked her pain with a smile and just said, "You both really love your Luna." She chuckled.They both nodded lik
*****Author's POV*****They soon arrived at the club after a while of driving. Lavinia's heart was at the verge of bursting out of her ribcage as she remembered just how the twins had asked her to move to the front seat while they stayed with Elvira at the back.The door was pulled open and she stepped down alongside the others.Again, they were focused on Elvira while they walked into the club, leaving her standing there as pain spread through her chest.She used to be in that position before Elvira, she used to be loved by the twins and she used to be pampered by them.Seeing someone else in that position now made her wish she could just have Elvira's head on a silver platter.She swallowed the anger and strolled into the club behind them. She had been trying to be nice and not try to do anything stupid, but it seemed Elvira was hell bent on humiliating her for no reason.She smirked as she made a decision, Elvira being their mate didn't mean that she knew them better than her.She
*****Elvira's POV******"She is so annoying." I complained again for the untempt time as I watched them play the card game and ask each other to remove one piece of clothing on their bodies.I was trying so hard not to stand up and walk out of the room.Lavinia was so good in the games that she hadn't removed even a piece of clothing since the game began.I was asked not to join by the twins after I told them I couldn't play the game.They insisted that I might lose and would be asked to remove a piece of clothing which they would never accept.So I just had to stay at the sides and watch them play the games.Actually, I really wanted to sleep because tomorrow, I planned on visiting the Ashenpaw family.It was time to unravel some hidden truth as well."Don't worry about her, she won't do anything with them." Dahlia chanted I'm my head again and I believed.If she said Lavinia won't do anything, then I had no choice but to accept.I watched as Lavinia made everyone who participated, e
*****Elvira's POV*****We soon arrived at the packhouse and we all highlighted from the car. All through the ride home, Zayden couldn't keep his hands to himself, saying he also wanted to be marked just like Zayn was.I mean it wasn't my fault that he gave such a dare and I needed to win so I went ahead to do what I knew was best.Once we got down from the car, Zayden rushed over to me and pouted his full lips adorably, his piercing making him look cute but dangerous."Baby, Please…" he whined, but his whining didn't sound anything near adorable.I saw Lavinia from the corner of my eyes staring at us as she walked into the house with Zayn.A small smirk almost formed on my face, but I bit it down and pretended not to see that she was pissed."Let's get into the house." I said and turned to walk into the house, totally ignoring him afterwards.He immediately followed behind me in excitement as we walked past Zayn who was plopped on the couch and Lavinia who was sitting with him."Good
*****Elvira's POV*****Zayden insisted on going with me to the Ashenpaw's mansion, while Zayn stayed by and attended the meetings with the elders of the pack.I needed to sort this out in order to be able to go for Jaxon's coronation ceremony. I and Zayden walked out of the room, dressed in matching outfits, just like Zayn's.Zayn walked over to give me a quick peck on my forehead before walking into the meeting room. I looked around, in hopes of seeing Lavinia, but she was nowhere in sight."Let's go." Zayden said as he linked our hands and walked out of the packhouse.We went to the awaiting vehicle outside and climbed in the moment the door was pulled open.Zayden directly pulled me closer to him, securing me in his arms as the car sped off, away from the packhouse.The ride to the Ashenpaw's mansion was silent with just the sound of my heartbeat drumming in my ears. I was scared that they would try to lie to me again, they wouldn't want to say the truth about what happened.I was
*****Author's POV*****Lavinia had just stepped out of her room when she heard the sound of someone's cry. She blinked, pushing it aside as hallucination and made to climb down the stairs, but to her surprise, the cry was real. And it was coming from Erika's bedroom.Without a second thought, she sprinted towards that direction in panic, thinking that someone was trying to harm Erika.When she got to the room, Erika was on the floor, blood filled the entire place as she clutched to her stomach and concealed her cries.Lavinia panicked, thinking Erika lost her baby. She thought about the things she had been taught and tried to use her skills to help, but nothing was happening after trying all methods for a woman who was about to lose her child.Unable to bear it, she rushed over to pick up her phone and called Zayden immediately. But after several rings, the call was declined."Fucking hell! Zayd pick up the phone!" She yelled out in frustration, trying to conceal her worries.But agai
*****Author's POV*****The next day, Erika was discharged and taken back to the packhouse. Lavinia saw it was time to talk to her about her baby and she decided to visit her room.When she arrived at the door, she did a few pep talks before knocking on the door. Erika didn't reply, but Lavinia didn't give up either."I know you're in there!" She yelled, hoping for a good response."Go away!" Erika yelled out in return, sending her away even before she could say another word.Lavinia dragged In deep breaths before pushing the door open and walking into the room.“I told you to go away,” Erika yelled irritated, wishing that Lavinia would listen to her and go away.She hugged her pillow tighter, pulling it over her face. She knew just what Lavinia came here for and she wasn't ready to listen to her.Was it so hard for them to let her keep her child?She was just hoping that if she ignored Lavinia long enough she would leave her.“Erika, your brothers are worried out of their minds right
******Elvira's POV***** These days, the twins had been avoiding me and I knew it was because of that incident. I often stayed awake, wishing I could get a moment to speak to them about it. But each time, they would always return home late at night and leave before I woke up in the morning.It was eating me up and Dahlia too wasn't liking it.Again, I woke up today to find myself alone in the room. Without a second thought, I dashed out of the room, hoping to catch up with them before they left."Slow down, they already left," Dahlia said in my mind and I froze in place. Why was it so hard to get to them? Couldn't they understand that I did what I did because of jealousy?I was already feeling guilty and they kept ignoring me.Deciding to try my luck in finding them downstairs, I pick up my pace going down the staircase.There were no signs of the twins outside and it seemed like it had been a while since they left. Feeling dejected, I turned around and went back to my room. I sat at
*****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
