**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
**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
