**Zora's POV**“Have you heard what's going on in the palace?” Lucien asked after we were done with the day's work. My body was aching badly and it wasn't surprising that despite my ill health, these people still made me work at the coal mine, but not to worry, we're getting out of here and we're getting out tonight, but first I need to know what's going on.“What happened?” I asked Lucien.His eyes roamed around and when he was sure that no one was coming, he whispered. “I overheard some of the slaves saying that Elora locked Damon up in the dungeon because she caught him fucking a maid.” He conveyed and my eyes widened.“What! For real?” I asked and he nodded. A smile found its way to my lips. “Yes, that's it! That's exactly what I want. Let her know what pain feels like.” I said happily.“I also have the feeling that we are not the only ones after Elora. I think someone else is. Because the slaves said something about Damon, claiming to have been drugged.” He explained and I scoffe
**Damon's POV**I sat in the dungeon, my back resting on the wall as I reminisced over what happened a few moments ago. Only I and the maid knew what really happened but she pinned everything on me and is not helping matters.Now that things are finally working out between me and Elora, this happened.“I love you, Elora, and I would never hurt you. Please know that.” I sighed and buried my face in my legs as I tried to think of ways out of this situation.I heard something creak open like the door and heard footsteps. I couldn't guess who the person was but the familiar scent brought one person to mind.“Elora,” I muttered and looked up to see her standing in front of the cell. I quickly stood to my feet and rushed to her. “Elora, why don't you want to believe me? I know it's something you saw with your two eyes, but you have to know that I would never do anything that would hurt you.” I tried to explain things to her.She sighed. “Damon, it's pretty hard to believe, you know,” She s
**Author's POV**“What trap are you talking about, Elora?” Damon asked.“When this incident happened, I went to the garden and I met Elder Blake. I was obviously cursing at you and reigning different kinds of insults on you. Elder Blake Spoke to me and I understood him, but I needed to find out by myself that you're innocent. That's why I called the meeting and asked for you to be thrown to the dungeon,” She glared at the maid in front of her. “I knew that if I threw you in there, she would come to mock you and if not mock you, a conversation might ensue between the two of you which would in turn lead me to the truth. So when I came to you, I was about to leave when I heard footsteps, so I hid and listened to everything.” She revealed and Damon couldn't be more grateful for her smartness.“Thank goodness you found out!” Damon exclaimed and stood to his feet.“I'm sorry for doubting you, Damon. I'm really sorry,” She apologized and faced the maid, her eyes holding nothing but anger and
“I still don't think it's a good idea for you to get involved in things like war and stuff.” He argued.“Damon, I am their Luna. It is my duty to protect everyone. It's my duty to make sure the pack and everyone in it is safe.” She sighed.“I know and that's why you have me as a beta. That's why I'm by your side; to fight the battles and the war for you — to protect the pack for you.” He tried to dissuade her.“I want to be part of that too. I can't just sit and watch someone else do the work for me. I don't want to be a weak Luna who depends on her beta to get everything done,” She said, remembering what Gina had said about Damon always getting in the way. “I have to do this, Damon and you're the only one I trust that can help me.” She looked at him with pleading eyes.Damon sighed. “I understand what you mean, Elora. It's just that…” He trailed off, sighing again. “I don't want you to get hurt. I don't want anything to happen to you, mate. If you do this, there's no doubt that you'd
**Damon's POV**I swung on the chair in the office as I looked at the business proposal sent by Alpha Norman of Shadow Clan Pack. From my research, he was a very powerful Alpha and was a business associate with Elora's father before his death.I had gone through his profile and also did some research. He was a good man, and wasn't involved in any fraudulent activities like the miscreants the late Alpha worked with before.Elora walked in, looking exhausted. I smiled at her. “Why do you look like you just got beaten by a bear?” I asked.She walked to where I sat and slumped on my body. “I'm so tired.”“It's only 11am.” I laughed and she pouted.“So? Can't you see I'm not in the mood for stress today?” She rolled her eyes cutely. “I've been working on some files brought in about Zora's father since morning and haven't had the time to eat or rest.”I smiled and made her sit on my lap. She wrapped her hands around my neck. “So, what do you want to eat?” I asked.“You,” She replied and my
**Author's POV**As they sat in the throne room, discussing about the business proposal, Damon was angry that Elora was giving Alpha Norman all her attention.The worst part was that Alpha Norman wouldn't stop looking at her especially whenever she speaks. He felt Alpha Norman was crossing boundaries and might be interested in Elora which got him scared.“So, now that we've come to a reasonable conclusion, when do you think we should commence?” He asked and Elora turned to face Damon.“You can ask him. He calls the shots around here.” She winked at him but he didn't smile. He was angry at her for not telling Alpha Norman that he was her mate, and also angry that she didn't notice Alpha Norman's advances.He sighed. “Next week will be fine. Excuse me.” He stood up and left for Elora's room.Elora wondered what had come over him. Alpha Norman smiled at her.“Totally unrelated. I've been looking at you and—”“Um… Alpha Norman?” She called, already knowing what he was going to say. She ha
THE NEXT MORNINGElora awoke and didn't find Damon in bed. She looked around, rubbing her eyes and wondering where he had gone to.She was about to get down from the bed when the door opened and he entered, holding a tray of food.“You're awake!” He smiled and placed it before her on the bed.Elora was shocked. “Breakfast in bed? Now that's romantic.” She smiled.Damon chuckled. “You need strength because training starts today.”She nodded with a smile and took the fork to eat but he collected it from her.“I'll feed you.” He said and she beamed.As he fed her, Elora couldn't be more grateful to the moon goddess for her help. Her life had started out not quite well, and suddenly everything changed after her rebirth. Damon came into her life, and now he's making her go crazy for him. She loved him so much.When she was done eating, they bath together and headed out to train but two guards ran to meet them. Elora recognized them as the guards she sent to look for Zora and Lucien.“Did y
**Zora's POV**I looked around the room they made ready for us and a smile found its way to my lips. I was finally back to living that luxurious life I've always wanted and also to get my revenge while at it.Melissa is a genius for changing our facial features. Who knew Elora could be fooled this way?Me? Zena? Oh gosh, I love that name.“We actually pulled this off, Zora. I can't believe she fell for it.” Lucien clapped his hands like a baby who just got handed a candy.“Shut up your mouth, you disgusting ingrate!” I snapped at him. “Don't you make that mistake of calling me Zora again. The walls have ears. Be mindful of whatever you say!” He nodded. “I'm sorry. I was just overexcited.”“Keep your over excitement for when we finally get our revenge. No slacking. We have to find a way to earn her trust because I'm sure Damon doesn't trust us one bit, but if we're able to get Elora over to our side, Damon wouldn't be a problem.” I smirked as I thought of a suitable plan.“How are you
130 (FINAL CHAPTER)**Elora’s POV**We walked hand in hand down the stairs, the excitement, and energy of the gala already palpable. As we entered the ballroom, the music stopped and the guests turned to face us, bowing and curtsying in respect. Damon held my hand tighter, making me revel in the sense of power and control we shared as the leaders of the pack.I smiled and curtsied back, my red hair cascading over my shoulders. “Thank you all for coming tonight,” I said, my voice loud and clear. I was so glad that they could come. After everything I’ve been through, I deserved this happiness. My eyes roamed the crowd of people gathered, and a smile graced my lips as I began to address them. “As we all know, tonight is a special occasion. We gather here to celebrate our victory and honor those who have fallen, but more importantly, we come together as a pack, stronger than ever before," I continued, my voice ringing with authority. "We have endured much, but we have persevered, and I c
129.**Damon’s POV**After Dexter’s death, the next few days was more like a feast in White Tide Pack. Elora really outdid herself this time, and I remained proud of her despite all that. Tonight was a gala to celebrate our victory and also honor the wolves that lost their lives in the battle.I stood in front of the mirror and glanced at myself. I couldn’t deny the fact that I actually looked good in the black pants, White shirt and Black jacket that I was putting on. With Dexter gone, I knew peace had returned to the pack and I would be able to sleep with both eyes closed. While he was still on rampage, I was so busy investigating how to find him and get rid of him that I couldn’t sleep a wink, coupled with Elora’s deteriorating health and the pack’s affairs, it was really a load to carry, but I’m glad it all worked out in the end.Elora, my beautiful mate, is healthy and bubbling with energy alongside her white wolf, whom the pack’s priestess adored so much. It’s been beautiful, a
128.**Author’s POV**The guards nodded their heads and tied Dexter to a tree. They got their whips ready and took turns to whip him. Dexter groaned in pain as the whips landed on his back, tearing his skin.As they took turns to whip him, Elora stood with her arms folded while the people watched with bemused expression on their faces. She walked to where he was tied and smiled at him.“How do you feel?” She asked obviously and he glared at her. He couldn’t say anything as the whips kept landing on his back, the guards showing no form of mercy.He began to bleed and even with the blood dripping from his body, they didn’t hold back and continued to whip him. When they were sure it had reached a hundred strokes, they stopped and Dexter thought he would be relieved, but Elora hadn’t had enough.“Continue,” she ordered, and Dexter didn’t know when tears dropped from his eyes. The guards continued with their torture while he screamed in pain, saying that he couldn’t bear it anymore. “This
127.**Author’s POV**The wolf was magnificent as she stood, staring at Dexter with her eyes red in rage. Dexter stood to his feet, still not believing that Elora was a pure white wolf. In the history of Werewolves, according to the stories he had heard from the Alpha and the Luna, the white wolves were seen as replicas of the moon goddess. They were the most powerful wolves alive and once a wolf shifts into them, it gives them unquestionable power both in human form and in wolf form, but they were said to have become extinct since no wolf has wielded the power.He couldn’t believe Elora was one. He knew he stood no chance against her, but he was too proud to back out of the fight now. He felt it would hurt his pride, so he gestured for his wolves to attack her and they did.Damon sprung to his feet to protect her, but before he could lift a finger, the wolves had all fallen dead at her feet. Elora didn’t even have to lift a paw.Zora and Lucien gasped at the sight before them. They
126.**Author’s POV**Elora couldn’t believe what she just heard. All these years she had been trying to find the scumbag that killed her parents and bring him or her to justice but unknowingly, he had been under her nose all these while. Tears rolled down her cheeks as she tried to struggle from the grip of Zora and Lucien, who held her tight with mischievous smiles on their faces.Dexter walked to where she was and held her chin up. “You should have remained the lowly and witty omega you were. If you hadn’t stuck your nose where it didn’t fit, the story would have been different. Now look at your fallen soldiers and your helpless mate. What are you going to do now huh?” He laughed at her.“Why the heck did you kill my parents?” She ignored the other things he had said and threw the only question that had been bothering her at him. One thing she knew was that the Alpha and Luna treated him so well. They trusted him because he was their beta, and did everything in their power to make
125.**Author’s POV**Drake smirked and folded his arms. “You want to end everything today, don’t you? You’re welcome to try,” He chuckled, walking forward. He couldn’t deny that Elora was smart to have brought the war to him instead and met them unprepared, but he was more than ready to dig his claws into her throat and pull her intestines out.He had been preparing for this day for ages, and he wasn’t going to back down now.Elora, on the other hand, was determined to end everything today. She wanted to go back to her people and give them a beacon of hope, so they won’t live in fear of the unknown. She wanted them to be able to trust her as their leader, and with Damon by her side, she knew they were going to win. She would make sure they won even if it meant sacrificing her life to secure the victory.Drake clapped his hand and his soldiers appeared. With the help of his dark magic, he collapsed his hideout and turned the place into a full battleground. If he wanted to decapitate E
124**Author's POV**As they all got ready to go to Drake's hideout, Damon couldn't conceal his expression as he was so worried about Elora. "I think you shouldn't go please," Damon said to Elora but she wasn't going to have it. "I need to, Look here Damon, I'm the Alpha Luna of this pack, which means that everybody in this pack are looking up to me," Elora explained and sighed deeply. "I can't possible relax at the mansion and put the people's lives at risk," Elora explained to him, but Damon was still hellbent on her resting home. "Damon, if I stay back home, I'll not be at peace. I need to be present because there must be something that I can do to help," Elora explained and he nodded. Her mind was made up, and she wasn't going to listen to him, so he decided she have her way. "I'm just worried about you, especially now that he has dark magic and you're recovering from the poison which you took," Damon sighed, but Elora walked up to him and patted him fondly on his shoulders.
Chapter 123Martha will flinch and would be more confused about the way to go about things. She didn’t know how to lie to save herself from that awkward situation but she decided to keep a serious face. “I know nothing,” She frowned and said, but Damon wouldn’t take that for an answer. For some reason, Damon was suspecting her and he has decided to listen to his instincts. “Would you talk to me now, or else…..” I was about threatening her when Elora completed it. “Else you’ll make me use force on you,” She said, making Damon avert his gaze to her. Elora was already trying hard to be on her feet, and it was like the moon goddess was on her side, so she found it easier as usual to stand. But still, she struggled with her balance but suddenly managed to stand firm. “You, use force on me?” Martha thought, and a wry chuckle escaped her lips. “There’s nothing I can say to you, but you can’t force me into admitting to something I never did,” She said, glaring at them really hard. E
122The next day came quickly, as Damon was seen mobilizing the soldiers as he prepared them for defense. He also went as far as employing huge wolves at every corner of the mansion. He’s ulterior motive was for there to be safety in the pack, and for Elora to feel safe.He had finished attending to the soldiers and walked back to Elora’s room where he met the most grateful sight he has ever been wishing for. Just as he entered, Elora batted an eye lid open and a wry chuckle escaped her lips and that was when Damon rushed towards her holding her carefully. “Are you okay?”“Do you feel pain anywhere?” He asked, as he looked over her, his face clouded with worry. “Do you want any…..” He was saying when she interrupted him, and smiled lightly. “I’m fine Damon, I’m feeling a lot stronger than before,” She said, as a wide smile appeared on her lips Damon wasn’t left out as he was happy that his love was finally awake. “You scared hell out of me,” He groaned, and bent over, placing
