Author's POV.The palace was bustling, everyone ran around whispering to each other about Luna Elora getting poisoned. Everyone whispered about it, anyway, no one knew what actually happened yet.It wasn't what anyone ever expected. Luna Elora was an important figure in the pack and it disturbed them.Zora waited for Melissa patiently, her mood already perfect as every plan was going the way she wanted, she could imagine the chaos in the pack already."I heard she's been poisoned." A maid whispered to another as they both glanced around, keeping their heads down in case someone overheard.Damon paused when he saw the maids whispering, some scurried away immediately they saw him,the other two at the far end of the room kept whispering to each other, oblivious of the glare from Damon.Damon strided towards them, his steps loud against the cold floor, he didn't care if his face was scary looking or not. "What did you say?" He hissed quietly, though not low enough that they wouldn't hear
Author's POV.Dexter scoffed after being shocked for a while, he raised his eyebrows as he eyed Martha suspiciously."Why do I feel like you're lying to me?" He asked, he stopped her from speaking immediately she wanted to explain."I don't just feel like you're lying to me, I think you're lying." Dexter straightened, shaking off whatever shock he felt earlier."I promise I'm not lying, I've never lied to you, I always report truthful incidents to you." Martha sighed, she didn't understand why he didn't believe her.Dexter nodded, his eyes still on Martha as he tried to think if she was lying to him or not, he smiled after a while, he knew she wasn't lying, but it felt true because she has never lied to him.It made him glad to know that he wasn't the only one who hated Elora, it felt like a dream come true to him."I'm not the only one who hates her." He began laughing, "It's so wonderful to see that I have someone who hates her as much as I do.""Do you have any idea who it is?" He
Elora's POV.I groaned when I woke up, my body sore and my mind in a fog.I couldn't help the yawn that escaped me, looking around, I could see damp clothes and empty bottles of drugs."What happened?" I asked Damon who kept staring at me like I was a ghost who came back to life."You were poisoned." he released a long sigh.My eyes widened and I shook my head in disbelief, "Wha-""What happened?" I asked, I tried thinking of who would do this to me."My maids test my food before I eat, so it can't be them." I said as I sat up and looked at him, my face was pale. I wanted to know who did this to me."I think the poison was injected." Damon said solemnly.My hands tightened into fists as I gritted my teeth. Whoever this person was, they were going down.I sighed, "I know Dexter is behind this." "I think so too, I'm more terrified for your health than ever." He groaned, running a hand through his hair."He's really trying to kill me." I said, my tone flat."He won't succeed." Damon re
Damon's POV.I walked to the kitchen barely able to restrain my anger, but only by sheer force of will, I could feel a headache coming and my temper frayed with it as I opened the door to the kitchen.The maids watched me, some already showing their nervousness."Good afternoon Beta." The chief maid greeted me, and I turned to her, nodding.I glanced around the kitchen looking for things I would use to make Lunch for Elora.I was so caught up in my thoughts that I almost didn't see the chief maid watching me with curiosity. "What are you doing,Beta Damon?" She asked softly."Cooking for the Luna." I replied, my eyes searching the kitchen.When I turned she said in a quieter voice. "You can't do that."She shook her head as I carried a little bowel looking for ingredients to cook for Elora."It doesn't work like that." I looked at her confused."What do you mean?" I frowned . "Why not?"Suddenly, all the maids knelt down, the chief maid did so as well, making me step back in surprise.
Zora's POV.I could barely keep the smile out of my face when he apologized to us, I kept glancing at Lucien, I knew he was feeling the same way I felt right now.My heart was filled with so much joy that what I've always wanted was happening.I quickened my pace with Lucien by my side, my neck becoming hot as I could still Beta Damon's stare on our backs.I opened the door to my room immediately, and as soon as it shut behind me, a huge weight dropped off my shoulders, a deep breath escaped from my lungs and I finally let go of the tension in my body.The smile on my face became brighter as I began jumping. I couldn't contain my happiness, I laughed happily, dancing around the room, the sound echoing throughout the room."Never in my life did I imagine this day would come." I clasped my hands together in front of me, trying not to giggle loudly. "But I'm so happy about it!" I exclaimed as another grin appeared on my face."Everything is finally falling into place, I can end Elora for
Zora's POV.I stared at the maid from head to toe, confusion evident on my face. I didn't understand what she meant by someone who was sharing the same vision as me, I didn't know what she meant and right now she was pissing me off by ruining my dinner.She didn't answer me for a long time before she finally responded in her soft voice, "It's not that easy," she explained, trying her best to speak quickly."If there's anyone here who needs an offer, it's you, you're just a maid, you can't just barge in here and say rubbish I don't understand." I tried to keep my patience but I really wanted her to leave."You're a maid, you should be respectful." I yelled, getting more impatient and angry.Her mouth opened slightly, as if in disbelief and surprise, and then bowed slightly.My eyes narrowed, "What?" I asked, feeling irritated."I'm sorry if I came off as rude and disrespectful." She replied calmly."I didn't want that to be the impression I gave off, I heard the discussion both of yo
**Author's POV**Martha walked into Dexter's throne room and bowed her head slightly. He gestured for her to come close, and she did. “Any news?” He inquired and she nodded. “Spill it.”Martha bowed again. “I spoke to Zena and Luca like you asked, and surprisingly, they want to be on our side. They are after Elora as well.” She explained and Dexter smiled.“That's wonderful. It's good that they are close to her. Since you aren't close to Elora, it would be difficult to really hurt her from within, but that's going to be easy now with Luca and Zena by our side.”“Yes, but that's not all,” She said, and he looked at her, his brows furrowed a bit. “It turns out that Luca and Zena are Lucien and Zora.” She revealed, and Dexter's eyes widened.“Huh? What did you just say?” He asked.“Luca and Zena are Lucien and Zora.” She repeated, and he couldn't believe what he just heard.“How did that happen?” He asked, but Martha shook her head. She has no idea either. Dexter massaged his temple. No
Martha arrived at the palace and went straight to the kitchen as if she was one of the chefs.As she alighted inside the kitchen, she was welcomed by a dozen chefs all cooking something different and minding their business.Martha scratched her hair nervously and bit her lips, thinking of how to start a conversation when a voice brought her in."Um...sorry, do you need something?" One of the chefs questioned, staring closely at Martha."Um, hahaha, nothing, I just loved watching how you guys perform miracles, I mean, from just mixing a lot of ingredients to having the results of the best tasty foods." Martha chuckled, which appeared fake."Thanks but if you don't need anything, you are not allowed to be in here because you are not one of us." The chef said again."Oh, yeah, yeah." Martha giggled."By the way, what are you guys doing after this?" Martha inquired whining her teeth."We are to deliver the food to the dungeon."She answered."Aww, you guys are doing a nice job, I would lo
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
