**Elora's POV**“What guts!” The elders yelled and turned to leave.“Halt!” I ordered and they obeyed.They turned to look back at me, their eyes were literally spitting fire, but I cared less.“Tomorrow night will be my coronation. I want you all to be there, and if by any chance I didn't see any of you, you'll have me to contend with. So, tomorrow night, wear your finest robes, visit the barber for a haircut if you want any and look good for my coronation,”One of them was about to talk, but I raised my hand and stopped him.“It's an order coming from me, the Luna.” I snapped.They sighed and nodded before walking out, leaving only me, Dexter and Elder Blake.“I'm proud of you, daughter. You've shown me that you have the blood of our late Alpha running through your veins. You'll make a great Luna, and you have my full support.” He smiled.I returned the smile and he walked out.I got down from the throne and walked to where Dexter stood, glaring daggers at me.“You should have stepp
**Elora's POV**I sighed as I stared into the mirror, at my face. My hair was in a tight bun that framed my head. With a pair of small, silver hoop earrings on the left side of my ears, a single gold chain hanging from my right shoulder, and a small silver stud that pierced the tip of my nose, I had to admit, I looked good.The stupid me looked good. Tonight was the night I would be crowned the Luna of White Tide pack. I went through a lot to get to where I am now, I had to lose my life to realize what I truly wanted and what I should be. Now, here I am, staring into the mirror to see the new me; the new Elora, who is thirsty for revenge and who would stop at nothing to make sure it was served cold.I slowly took my glasses off and dropped them on the table next to my phone. I ran my fingers over my face, careful not to spoil the makeup the maids took almost forever to do for me.“You're no longer a nerd, Elora. You're someone new now, and your sole aim is to make your enemies pay fo
**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
