Elora’s POVIt had been two days since that confrontation with the Alpha King Dominic about my troubled past. Contrary to that fateful day, the next set of sunrises and sunsets were typically boring. I heaved a deep sigh, looking at the ceiling, staring at it blankly. I haven’t seen anything aside from the four corners of this shabby quarter for two days straight. And as a rogue who lived in the woods for three years, this was lowkey torture. ‘I’m bored, Arwen,’ I told my wolf inside my head. ‘I want to get out of this barless jail.’‘You know you can’t do that until the pack convergence is over, right?’ Arwen answered. I could see her sitting in a corner and grooming herself. ‘Your uncle and his men are still inside the royal pack land.’‘Yeah, I know,’ I responded, covering my head with a pillow. ‘I just need…company. I want to talk with another individual, that’s all. Maira is serving in the convergence from dusk until dawn. She barely has time to chitchat with me before bed beca

Dominic's POVJust like any other day, I was back to my study and thinking about the things that happened in the past days. I shook my head in disbelief whenever I think about how an ordinary pack convergence turned into something very complicated. I had known Alpha Lucian Knightlock of the Moon River Pack since time immemorial. He was an ally to my father and a loyal subject of the royal pack. I had seen him quite a few times here at Royal Cavern during the days of my father’s reign. He was there when we held my father’s last rites during his funeral. He was also one of the alphas who personally witness my ascension ceremony. So to cut the story short, he was a constant figure in my life and bore no ill feelings toward him. But my perfect depiction of him shattered when I heard my mate’s story. Never in my wildest dream that I pictured him to be as ruthless and merciless as how Elora described him to be.The goddess knew how much I restrained myself from clawing his face out wheneve

Elora’s POV“What happened? Why are we here?”From my end, it was just an innocent question. But looking at Maira, it seemed that something triggered with that simple query. “I am sorry, Victoria! It was all my fault. If only…If only I didn’t believe his empty promises and listened to you and my wolf, we would not be in this situation!”Once again, Maira’s faint sobs echoed through the dungeon. My lips remained shut, waiting for her to continue with her story. There was more to her being abused by my uncle and I could definitely sense that. “I was one of the omegas assigned to serve the Moon River delegates when they arrived, specifically, to its Alpha.”There was some brokenness in her voice and I couldn’t blame her. Relieving that very painful memory was not an easy thing to do.“It was nothing but a task for me at first, until the Alpha started noticing me. Amongst his peers, he was the most charming, and the kindest if I were to ask. Many times, he defended me from his men whene

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 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
