**Elora's POV**Her eyes were wide in shock and she should know that I'm not joking this time. I'll make sure to get her killed if she dares me.“10… 9… 8…” As I counted, she rushed to her father for help but he couldn't help her. “5… 4… 3…” I was already pulling out a sword from one of the guards when she picked the food.She took a spoonful and I urged her to eat it. In tears, she ate the food and I ordered her to take more bites. When she was done taking them, I asked her to sit down.Then I gestured for Lucien to have a seat too. “Now, tell me why you choose to do what you did a few minutes ago?” I asked, pointing to Rita.Really there was nothing like trust these days. I made a mistake by trusting Rita and making her my personal maid. I can't believe she would stoop so low to work with someone that wanted me dead.Zora looked at me, confusion etched into her features. “I don't know what you're talking about.” She denied.“I don't have the time to argue words with you, so I'm goi
R18 CONTENT AHEAD. DO NOT READ IF YOU AREN'T OKAY WITH IT.**Author's POV**Elora just chuckled. “Killed is an understatement. Well, let's not talk about this now, Damon. I just need time to rest and clear my head.” She sighed.Damon knew she was stressed out. “How about I help you out with that?” He asked and stood up moving to her back.Elora wondered what he wanted to do, but the mischievous smirk he had on his face was enough to tell her what was in his mind.“Damon,” She called. “I don't really want to…” She trailed off when he started massaging her shoulders. His hands were strong and warm, and his touch made her feel safe. She sighed and leaned in.Damon just smiled and continued to massage her. His hands went down from her shoulder to her breasts and she gasped. Her breathe hitched and something spark within her.Seeing her reaction, he smirked and started massaging her breasts, using his fingers to fondle her nipples through the fabric of her shirt. A moan escaped her lips wh
**Author's POV**“Are you really leaving?” The old woman, who harboured Dexter asked.Dexter sighed. “Yes. I have an unfinished business that needs to be taken care of immediately.” He answered and she sighed.“What about the people you said were coming for you? What are you going to do about them?” She asked.“I don't think they'd want me for now, ma'am. Thanks for allowing me stay here even though you don't know me. When I become the Alpha of this pack, I'll treat you well.” He smiled and walked away.“Alpha of the pack?” The woman questioned herself but she shrugged it ohg, deciding not to think too much about it.Dexter was able to take a secret route where only he was aware of. No one would ever see him around there. He followed that place to the house he had bought. The house was Faraway from the palace and no one would even guess he was there, except people that knew him of course.He met Elder Brent standing in front of his house and facepalmed. “Why is this fool here?” He que
**Zora's POV**As I sat on the bed still thinking of what to do, the door to the ward screeched open and the doctor entered. When she saw that I was awake, she rushed to me.“Are you feeling better? Do you feel pain anywhere?” She asked.“No, I'm fine.” I answered even though I was still aching in my stomach. I would never look weak in front of anybody.“Lie down, and let me do a checkup on you. I wasn't expecting you to wake up this fast.” She said and I obeyed.After checking on me, she sighed and placed her hand on her waist.“Is there any problem?” I asked.“None that can't be taken care of. But you're going to have to stay here for a few days. I want to keep checking on you because from the look on your face, you're still in pain.” She chuckled and I pressed my lips into a thin line.There was no way I would spend another hellish day in this pack. I don't care whether I'm in a good condition or not. I'm getting out of here and there's nothing anyone can do about it.The door open
**Damon's POV**Today, I decided to work late at the office. I had spent the whole day at my father's company and getting back to Elora's, I realized there was still more work to do. She had handled some things, but I didn't want to let the remaining ones waste away like that.The door opened, and I looked up to see Elora walking towards me.“Babe,” I called and she smiled.“Today must be good for you. When do you ever call me babe?” She asked and I chuckled.She walked to stand beside me and I pulled her to my lap. “What are you doing here?” I asked.“Well, I wanted to come drag you home and yell that you're a workaholic but seeing you, I don't know how to go about it anymore.” She answered, drawing circles on my chest.Her gestures were beginning to arouse me and I held her hand. “Elora, why don't we go home?” I asked, no longer interested in the work I wanted to do.“ She smirked. “Why? Are you feeling something?” She asked, biting her lower lip. I was getting turned on by everyth
**Elora's POV**I rushed to the garden and stood there as tears rolled down my cheeks. My heart was shattered and I couldn't help but want to wail loudly to let out the pains. How could Damon do this to me after I have accepted him? How could he? I thought I finally found love.Tears rolled down my cheeks as the picture of him fucking that maid flashed in my head. I was hurt and I couldn't deny that fact.Tears welled up in my eyes and my legs gave out. I sat on the floor there and covered my mouth to muffle my cries. This made me recall what had happened in my past life. How Lucien had cheated on me with Zora and how they killed me. If I had stayed, would Damon have killed me as well? Then I'd die the second time?I wept as I remembered the pain. I finally admitted my love for him and he had to do this to me? Why on Earth did he do that? If he wanted to fuck so bad, he could have waited for me. Why did he cheat on me?I struggled and stood up from where I sat then wiped my tears. I
**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
