**Author's POV**“Secrets?” Elora couldn't comprehend what he was talking about. As far as she knew, she had nothing to hide except the fact that she was reborn. Could Beta Dexter have found that out? And even if that was what he found out, was it supposed to be a secret? The people started murmuring and Elora facepalmed.Beta Dexter smirked and walked past Elora, then headed to the podium, wearing a smug look on his face. Elora followed because she wanted to know where all these would lead.After climbing the podium, he cleared his throat. “People of White Tide Pack!” He called, but they didn't answer. They were only interested in hearing the secret he claimed he had come to expose. He waved that off and continued, “You all know that I've been nothing but a good Alpha to you. I made plenty of things available for you all just like the late Alpha had done, but unfortunately, a little girl came with her devious lies and took that away.” He announced, and their gazes lingered on Elora.
**Author's POV**Even though she had talked about not accepting him fully yet, Damon was overjoyed. Her telling the whole pack that they were mates was worth more than that.It gladdened his heart to see the shock on everybody's faces. Dexter was not excluded alongside Zora and Lucien. “Am I dreaming or what?” Zora whispered to herself.She looked over the crowd and her gaze met with that of Lucien. She communicated with her eyes, but he shook his head and told her he didn't see that coming.Elder Blake masked his shock with a huge smile. Now, he was ready to see who would dare to attack Elora over her throne. She had a mate, which was something they were all using as an excuse to take her throne away from her. Dexter quickly waved off the shock and climbed the podium. “Now I know what's going on between you two. You two connived to do this so that you could keep the throne, right?” He asked.“Do you think we would joke about being mates?” Damon scoffed. “Cut the crap. It's not ever
**Author's POV**The Witch's hut…It was a dark and dank little place. It smelled like moldy straw and dirt. This was not the kind of witching hut you’d expect to find sitting on the edge of a forest in the middle of the night. In this case, it stood on a hill overlooking the entire town. The hill itself looked as if it had been built over centuries and the old stone was worn down by time and weather. The whole hill was surrounded by thick forest, with small trees here and there growing in between the boulders.The Witch sat on top of her hut and gazed at the town that lay below her. Her eyes were closed, but she could feel the cold wind coming off the mountains surrounding her, making the grass tickle her bare legs and the tips of her ears. It made her smile. This is what life really should be like. Just a nice quiet cottage, the breeze blowing through your hair and birds chirping from the nearby tree branches.Her feeling of bliss was interrupted by a rustle somewhere deep within
THE NEXT DAY…**Elora's POV**I was awoken by a knock on my room door. Standing to my feet, I stretched my body as I headed to the door. I opened it and the first thing I saw was a basket of Flowers and candies.I stepped out and looked around, wondering who had brought these for me, but the hall was empty.“Where are the maids?” I muttered to myself and picked up the basket, then entered and shut the door behind me.I sat down on the bed and looked at the gift. Looking closely, there was a note in it that read, “It's for you.”Looking through it quickly, I spotted two pieces of paper. One of them was a receipt from one of our local merchants selling fruit and flowers. The other was a small slip with a name written on it.My heart started racing, and my face grew red at the sight of the name.Damon.I didn't understand why just seeing the name sent tingles all over my body. There was another paper inside, and I quickly picked it up, eager to see what was inside. When I unfolded it and
**Elora's POV**Immediately those words left my mouth, he fell flat on his face and grabbed my legs. “If you want to avoid being buried alive, get your stinking hands off me right now!” I ordered, and he quickly let go of my legs.“Please, Luna, you can do anything to me but don't dismiss me, please.” He pleaded with his hands clasped together.I scoffed. He was so shameless. Why wouldn't he plead to keep his job, when obviously the money he gets from here would take him and his family for years? Did he expect to get money while sitting down and doing nothing other than to fuck underage bitches?My eyes darted to the lady on her knees. “What position do you hold in this company?” I asked.She said nothing and just kept pleading with her hands together. “Are you deaf or dumb?” I asked and she shook her head. “I won't repeat myself. Answer the damn question!” I snapped and she flinched.“I'm part of the account and treasury department. I'm a worker there,” She said.I looked at the man
**Zora's POV**“What are we going to do now, Zora? Elora has become something else. She isn't the person we once knew.” Lucien complained as we took wine in his room. He had invited me over, saying he wanted us to talk about something. I knew it was nothing more than talk about Elora.“I've told you time without number, Lucien. I've told you to leave her to me, and I'll know how to get rid of her. I don't know why and how she changed so much, but I'm certain that nothing is going to stop us from taking that throne away from her.” I answered.“Do you even know what annoys me the most? She isn't giving me eyes at all. Look at me, Zora. Am I not hot?” He asked and I chuckled.“You're hot, Lucien. You make ladies trip whenever they see you. Your face alone makes them orgasm.” I praised and he chuckled.“You don't go by without saying something naughty, do you?” He asked and I laughed. “But on a serious note, we need to get her to fall in love with me.” He said.“We'll do that. I have a bi
**Author's POV**“Here you go.” Sage smiled as she handed over a bottle containing the compelling potion to Zora.Zora collected it with a mischievous smirk on her face. Elora would soon be under her control, and she was going to make sure it stayed that way. Elora thinks she could burst out of nowhere and change overnight, but she was going to show her that no one messes with her and goes scot free.She looked at Sage thankfully. “So, how do I use it?” She asked.Sage cackled and sat on her mat with her legs folded, and her eyes closed as she whispered, “All you have to do is add the potion in either her drink or meal. Once she takes it in, she'll be bound to your will.” Her eyes snapped open and stared back at Zora with an amused grin. Zora chuckled. “That is perfect and exactly what I want. Thanks, Sage.” She smiled, and Sage returned it with a smile of her own.Zora stood up and sighed.“Are you leaving?” Sage asked.“Yes, I am.” Zora answered.“How about our agreement?” Sage fol
THE NEXT DAY**Elora's POV**“Come on, Elora. It's just a nice time out where we can have a drink.” Zora shook my hand as she spoke.Since she came this morning, she had been babbling on and on about a time-out with her. I had declined, but she is persistent and won't let me be.“Zora, I already told you that I'm going to be very busy on that day. You can't expect me to leave my position as the Luna of this pack and go out to have fun.” I facepalmed.“How about tonight? Please. Ever since you became the Luna, we haven't spent much time together. We don't hang out like we used to anymore, and it's driving me insane, Elora. I miss you so much; I miss the good times we used to share, our childish plays and everything.” She lamented and I sighed.Wow! She really was a good actress. Goodness knows the kind of plan she had in mind before inviting me over for a drink like this. Well, I'll get to find out then.I turned to face her and smiled. “Alright, I've heard you. We'll have the drink to
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
