~ Zora Roman ordered about two dozen Lycans to stand guard around us while he and the others faced Troy and the rest of the men. I immediately reached out to Tyler using the control I have over him to make him pull his men back and retreat. Since I was covered by about thirty men, I couldn't see the battlefield, so I turned my focus to Nox and was glad to see he had stopped bleeding and was slowly healing again. "Hey." I said, lying beside his huge frame. His red gaze shifts to me and he moves to cover me with his arm and draw me closer. In his process I saw him groan in pain because of his back. I reached for his furry face and caressed it, making him close his eyes and sigh. We stayed like that, protected from the outside world while slowly healing together until the medic arrived as promised. Nox was placed on a large stretcher and was carried by four Lycans to the van while a Lycan soldier asked for permission before lifting me bridal style and carrying me far away from the

~ ZoraMy heart jumps as I stare at my own mangled expression in the mirror. I was a bit relieved to see my eyes were no longer dark but my relief immediately shifted to anxiety as I wondered what Nox would think if he came in and found me like this. He can't and shouldn't know about the mirror. Whatever it is, I can handle it on my own. I pull my fist back and check my knuckles. They were bloody but healed already. I look at the mirror again and immediately rush to my closet to change into my pyjamas. "Abigail, are you awake?" I called via mindlink as I wore a big t-shirt over my head. If you don't reply, I might have to call her via phone. Almost immediately, her reply came. "Yes, Zora. How can I be of help?" "I need uhm someone to clean up a mess in my bathroom. The bathroom mirror shattered and I need a replacement asap.""Oh okay. Are you okay though?"Am I okay? Not in the least! " Yes I'm fine, Abigail. Just tired." I lied. Abigail sympathized with me and told me someone

~ ZoraAfter the meeting, I released Nolan's Beta as promised and he was terrified to find himself on the floor sitting next to me. He hurried to his feet and went back to his position behind Nolan. His previous smug expression when his Alpha and Luna were bashing me was now meek and that pleased me. Soon, it was time for all the leaders to swear allegiance to Nox and I. Nox mentioned again that anyone had the chance to walk away without judgment if they wanted to.I waited in anticipation but to my surprise, no one made a move to leave and so the ceremony began. Every one of us had to bring our wolf to the surface. This was the part where we were both human and wolf at the same time. Each person's eyes will reflect the color of their wolf's, our teeth will elongate into fangs and our fingernails and toenails will elongate into claws. We all had to hold hands as the leaders repeated the Oath of Allegiance after Sydney. The moment they finished, I felt a surge of power leave me an

~ Zora"I'll admit, I never thought of it that way." I said. "You should and if possible, hold out in your dream and see what happens next.""Thanks Roman." I said, leaning back in my office chair. "Always, Princess.""Any progress with Tyler and Emilia?""Well we haven't been able to pay them much of a visit since the Kane situation. And I have also been busy with moving back and forth to Moonrise but Sydney has been in charge of working them and while Emilia is stubborn asn silent despite the torture and everything, Tyler insists on speaking to you before he would say anything… ""Tyler said he wanted to speak to me?"Roman hesitates on the other end. "Nox didn't tell you?" Despite the chill of the air conditioner in the room, my body suddenly temperature went up as anger burned through me. I felt the sudden urge to destroy things, and him but I took deep breaths. "Princess, you there?" Roman asks. "Yes." I replied. "I just needed a moment with the temper."Lately, it wasn't ju

~ ZoraInvading Nox's mind was impossible.He was too strong but I was just as stubborn. I had no plans on letting Nox off the hook. If it would take dying to prove a point, then I would gladly do so. Lightning strikes and I catch his blackened eyes glaring up at me and the red running down his nose. I should be afraid, I mean he is the most powerful Lycan to exist and is capable of being ruthless. What if I was tempting fate? What if I overestimated how much he loved me and he hurt me instead? "Zora, you need to stop now." He says authoritatively but I could hear the concern in his tone. "You're hurting yourself!""Not until you surrender." I cried weakly, as I began to feel faint and swayed on my feet. Nox tries to reach for me while still on his knees but I step out of reach. "Who is Elsa?!"Nox remains silent and just when I concluded he would never let me in, he finally does. Sudden relief washes over me as my headaches ceased and my pain subsided. It was like when one pushe
