Elora’s POVI woke up the next morning feeling happy and satisfied. I took a deep breath as I opened my eyes. Since I accepted Dominic to be my mate, every morning was a gift from the moon goddess. I truly found where I rightfully belong…in the Royal Pack…in his arms…and by his side. I looked to the other side of the bed and there I saw Dominic still sleeping while his arms were wrapped around my waist. I sighed once again as I stared at his handsome face. Dominic looked like an angel when he was asleep. In this state, you will not see the beast that terrorized the whole royal pack yesterday. Remembering this, I patted him to wake up. “Rise and shine, my love. It is time for you to train.” Dominic moaned, eyes still shut while creasing his forehead. He took one of the pillows and hugged it. “Morning already? But it’s still early. Let’s go back to sleep.” He pulled my waist down to lie with him again. I shrieked for a moment but eventually took his hands off of my body. As much as I

Dominic’s POV I was striding back and forth to my office…thinking…pondering…reflecting. I could still smell Elora’s scent from my body before I sent her off with my finest men to save her brother. My mind was all over the place ever since. A question brewed inside my mind: Did I make the right decision? I tweaked my hair in frustration while puffing a heavy sigh. I sat down on the sofa, digging my head into my arms. I thought about what I did earlier, making me utter some curses to the wind. I wanted to shout to express my disappointment with my choice. Because honestly, what I did doesn’t feel right inside. How the fuck did I allow my mate to go knowing how dangerous it would be for her? What the hell am I thinking? For the greater good, some might argue that I have nothing to be remorseful for what I did. I was the Alpha King, after all. The royal pack was my responsibility until the end of the day. The vassal packs who allied to the empire were mine to protect as well. But

Elora’s POVI struggled so hard trying to get out of the mysterious man’s grasp. I elbowed, kicked, and fought the man who grappled me but he was just too strong. “Shut it, Elora. Or else, we will be dead before sunrise,” uttered the man in a whisper. Hearing his voice, I calmed down. A little over a minute, the man let go of my mouth. I looked up to see who he was. That was when I recognized that the man was none other than Fritz! “Fritz! You’re alive!” I exclaimed. But instead of a thankful reunion, Fritz seemed to have been upset seeing me. “What the hell are you doing here? I thought you were in Royal Cavern?”“I was,” I responded, “until I read your letter.”“How stupid can you be?!” He tried his best not to scream and I could see how much he struggled to lower his voice. “You should have not followed me here. It’s very dangerous!”“So what do you want me to do? Wait for you to die? How do you think I would carry the burden of knowing that you went after death and I did not d

Elora’s POVShit. Looks like the dead rogue leader was serious about not letting us get out of this place alive. Surrounding us were Rogue Leader John’s men. Their faces were a mixture of rage and confusion. They couldn’t believe that Fritz and I killed the feared Rogue Leader John just like that. Rogue Leader John was able to unite all the criminals and castaways in the eastern region. In all fairness to him, it was very admirable of him to do that. If only he did that for the greater good, then something better would have come out of it. But no, he didn’t do that. Instead, he led them to the worst version of themselves. And now he was gone, all hell would surely break loose. Fritz looked at me and I did the same to him. Admittedly, our plan of killing the rogue leader was too reckless. Well, Fritz was ready to die when he went here anyway. So, I was sure he didn’t have a solid escape plan once he succeeded in his planned assassination. How stupid of him! But I was equally dumb t

Elora’s POV“The Jackstone pack is near. We could take Dominic there in the meantime. Don’t worry, I will vouch for all of you. They would surely welcome us there once they knew that Dominic is Elora’s mate.”Once again, my eyes were filled with tears. Only this time, it was tears of joy rather than despair. I could feel the presence of our werewolf deity in this situation. It was as if she was doing us a favor by providing some solutions to our problems. I nodded my head in approval, signaling the team to start moving. Gamma Ken and the two other Gammas carried Dominic while Gamma Leo and another Gamma helped me and Fritz. We wasted no time running toward Jackstone Pack. We poured every ounce of our remaining strength into making it there as fast as we can. Fritz led the way, with Gamma Ken and his mini team following him while carrying Dominic. As much as I wanted to run beside my mate, I would only slow them down. Now is not the time to be demandingly clingy. The goal was for Dom
