Dominic’s POVBefore meeting Elora Knightlock, I prided myself on girls who would not hesitate to tear each others’ faces just to have a night spent on me. I had never run after a girl. For me, they were just short-time accessories, a thing that would never become permanent in my life. Through the years, only Ashley remained at my side. While she was a good sex partner, I couldn't see her more than that. Yet today, here I was, running in the woods with some of my men, hoping that when we arrived at the Moon River Pack, it would not be too late. Elora was different from all of the women I was involved with. My love-hate relationship with her would always be an interesting subject in my vocabulary. At first, I wasn’t happy that the moon deity gave her to me as a mate. Her identity as a rogue wasn’t a big deal to me, only if she displayed submission to my will. But instead, she constantly disobeyed my commands and worst, disrespect me straight to my face. But that didn’t mean that I wa
Dominic’s POVThe moment I heard that Lucian was behind Elora’s torture, an urge to cut him in pieces emerged from my body. I couldn’t wait to punish him for what he did but first, I needed to ensure that my mate would be checked and healed. “Bring me the pack doctor! Now!” I commanded. The guards rushed outside to follow my orders, while I was following behind carrying my bloody mate with my arms. Meanwhile, Hunter was helping the omega, who identified herself as Elora’s roommate Maira. Every one of us went out of the dungeon with nothing but concern toward my mate. The people of the Mon River Pack began to flock. Their eyes were full of questions. The moon goddess knew how much I wanted to kill each and every one of them. How could they let Lucian do this to the daughter of their previous alpha? She was his own flesh and blood! Although I knew Lucian personally, I discovered a lot of good things Elora’s father did to their pack when he was still alive. He was a capable leader, ri
Elora’s POV I never thought I would see the day. But now, it was finally happening. All my life, I felt powerless. Uncle Lucian stole everything from me…my family, my title, my rights, and my future. When I ran away from my beloved pack, I was almost certain that I would die without getting the justice that my family deserved. And yet seeing Uncle Lucian lose color on his face due to extreme embarrassment and fear, gave me a sense of satisfaction I was so desperate on getting. I knew this wasn’t too much but I felt vindicated for the first time in my life. All thanks to the Alpha King himself. “W-What did you say, my king? Y-Your mate?” His voice was undeniably trembling. His confidence earlier was now shattered into tiny little pieces. “Yes, my mate. The woman you abused is the future Luna of the royal pack.” I never expected Dominic would be this bold in admitting that I was his mate, considering the way he treated me back when I was still in the royal pack. Who would have
Elora’s POVThe Alpha King kept silent for a while. He just stood there, looking at me without a single expression on his face. If there was one thing that Dominic was good at, that was hiding his emotions. That is If he really had one. Finally, he decided to clear the air. “I was informed that Alpha Lucian took one of the omegas from the palace. As the Alpha King, I need to get to the bottom of that.”But I knew that there was more to it than his mouth was stating. While he was good at hiding his feelings, he wasn’t very good at hiding his body language. Dominic kept on caressing the back of his head while breaking eye contact with me. And if what I see was not a product of my hallucination, I even saw his face change to flashing red for the first time. And I think Arwen saw that too. ‘Our mate was blushing!’ she shouted at the back of my mind. Hearing that, I smiled. ‘He was, and I find it cute.’‘What did you say? You think the Alpha King is cute?’ Arwen was surprised by my comm
Elora’s POVMidnight came and I was still wide awake. Tomorrow is a big day and I should take a good rest to prepare. A council meeting would be held regarding my case against my uncle. I should have been happy that he was not being held accountable for all his evil schemes. And yet, I couldn't help but be nervous. The council members were all loyal to him. And even if they knew what my uncle did to me, they chose to shut their eyes and turned away. What was my assurance that my uncle will have a fair trial? My uncle was good at spinning a web of lies. He was good at acting nice in front of them. In fact, most of the people in Moon River Pack like him. It was evident in the way they frowned when the Alpha King held my uncle to his neck. He was a great actor and a great pretender. Playing the victim was the role he was so good at playing. Who knows what type of stories he spread to destroy my reputation? What if they didn’t believe me? I got up from my bed and think of something. If
Elora’s POV The next day, everyone gathered in the pack grounds to witness my uncle’s trial. I could have done this privately inside the council hall but I decided to involve the public with it. Doing this, I was hoping that the council members would not dare to influence the results with their ulterior motives. The more witness to it, the more they would be afraid to cheat. The pack grounds were full of whispers and murmurs from the crowd. A small podium was built for us involved in the trial and the members of the jury to step on. On my side was the Alpha King, who still didn’t talk to me after the incident last night. Meanwhile, Hunter and the rest of the royal guards were standing not far from us in case some unnecessary fights would commence during the trial. I heaved a sigh as I waited for my uncle to be dragged out of his cell. And then, the moment of truth came. From where I was standing, I saw Moon River and Royal Cavern guards escorting my uncle Lucian. His eyes were b
Elora’s POV As soon as the tip of the torch touched the stack of woods, the blazing fire crawled toward Uncle Lucian. Werewolves were extremely scared of fire so his death had a big significance. He suffered the most horrifying and painful death, a fitting end to his life of crimes. I can now sleep soundly at night, for the person who destroyed my life was no longer breathing. Finally, I was safe, we are all safe from his wickedness. We all heard his shouts of pain until moments later, it was no more. His flesh melted like butter, with his bones exposed to the light afterward. It took around an hour before his body was turned to ashes. It was over. My uncle Lucian was dead. ********* Dominic’s POV I tried my best not to show any emotion the moment I heard about Elora’s dark past once again. As the crowd went uneasy with their mixed opinions about what they heard, I, on the other hand, had only one thing in mind. Hatred. Burning hatred for the man who let my mate suffer with u
Elora's POV It was over. My uncle was dead and I would finally be safe from him. I had waited for this day for so long, so much that I thought it would never come about. In years of bearing his cruelty, I even started to accept that he would never be convicted of his crime. I felt so much pity for myself. Knowing my status in Moon River and with him being the Alpha, I almost thought that he would only receive his punishment in the afterlife. But with the help of my wolf Arwen, I endured it all. And now, this is the fruit of all my hardships and patience. Finally, I brought him down and my victory tasted as sweet as the nectar. ‘Have you seen the way Alpha Dominic addressed the crowd and delivered the sentence on your uncle earlier? Isn’t he the most gallant and handsome alpha of all?’ As usual, Arwen was going gaga over Dominic. She was making quiet whining sounds, almost giggling at the thought of remembering the Alpha King. I rolled my eyes and shook my head. Truly, my wolf
