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
"But why? Why was he released by the Luna!"Martha yelled frustrated "Why are you yelling? It's not our business, we don't know, it was Luna's command and no one dared to go against it, besides you should be happy that the old man was released and gained his freedom." The guard scoffed.Martha quickly smiled faintly."Yeah, of course, I am happy, I was just...um, you know, I didn't expect it, but the Luna was so kind to have set him free, may the Moon goddess bless our Luna." Martha said giggling.The two guards nodded their heads and left."Oh my God! Oh no! Alpha Dexter will kill me! She ruined our plans again! Ahhhh!" Martha soliloquies furiously.A maid joined her."Since Elder Blake is not here, you should give me the food while I give another prisoner, we can't let the food waste." She said.Martha knew the food was poisoned and she knew she would be exposed if anyone else ate the food, Alpha Dexter had told her that the poison wouldn't show any sign that the person was poisone
Elora's POV.It's been two days since the poison incident, and I'm getting better as every day passes, I can now eat, sit, or even move my hands, and even stand on my own but I still can't walk.The past two days had been the most hectic most heartbroken days of my life, I mean why was everyone against my life, what if I had died again?I watched the doctor run some tests on me and examine my heartbeat and my purse, Damon was beyond happy at how I was responding to the medication, I don't know what I would have done without him, each moment with him made me feel safe like everything is going to be alright, with his by my side, I felt I can touch the moon, he made me feel adored, and protected and my knight, he made it becomes his responsibilities to cook for me and get me everything I wanted, in Damon, I found love, peace, and serenity.The doctor was done checking whatever he was doing."You are responding quickly your majesty, you are getting so much better, and very soon you will b
