**Elora's POV**
“What the hell!” I yelled furiously as I watched the man I called my fiancé making out with my best friend.
“Lucien! Zora!” I yelled, but they didn't answer me. Instead, they continued what they were doing, acting like I wasn't even in the room.
My heart shattered to pieces as I watched the two people I thought were my last family betray me in the most painful way possible.
“Harder, Lucien! Oh my goodness!” Zora moaned out in pleasure as Lucien continued pounding into her.
Anger seared through me at an incredibly fast rate, and I couldn't take it anymore. I instantly threw my bag to a corner of the room and yanked Lucien away from Zora. His dick was still hard, but that only infuriated me the more.
I went to stand in front of him, and before he could say anything, I landed two slaps on both his cheeks.
“You slapped me?” He thundered, glaring dangerously at me as if trying to intimidate me, but I stood unmoved.
“And I will do it again and again if need be. How could you do this to me after everything I have done for you?” I faced Zora. “For both of you!” I yelled.
“What exactly have you done besides flaunting your wealth in our faces?” Zora snapped and I gasped.
“What the fuck are you talking about? You know the kind of person I am, Zora.” I stated, but she only scoffed and looked away.
“So, you think I loved you, right?” Lucien asked and stood in front of me. “You aren't worthy of my love because you're just an Omega. The only reason I decided to put up with you was because you're next in line to the throne, and you becoming Luna would automatically make me the Alpha. This is the only reason why I've been with you, Elora.” He smirked.
My heart throbbed painfully and I clutched to it. Tears rolled down my cheeks in torrents. How could they do this to me? After losing my parents, I took Zora as my sister since she was my best friend, and then I met Lucien and fell in love with him since I couldn't find my mate. I accepted my fate because I thought he loved me like my mate would have, not knowing it was all a facade; a facade to use me.
I was supposed to take my father's throne from our selfish beta, but they said I must get married first. My joy knew no bounds when Lucien proposed to me this morning. I was happy and decided to surprise them by taking us out, but didn't know they had a surprise for me as well.
I thought they weren't like the others, but they've shown me the kind of monsters they truly were.
“So, all these were because of my title?” I asked and bawled my fists.
“What else do you have to offer me aside from that? Do you think the world revolves around you because you're the Alpha's daughter? Do you think everything would work in your favor?” He laughed. “Think again, princess.”
“How long have you two been doing this because I'm certain it didn't start today.” I asked, ignoring his words.
They exchanged looks and burst out laughing.
“We owe you no explanations, princess. We were in the middle of something special before you came in, so leave.” Elora said with fire literally coming out of her eyes.
“Zora, how could you do this to me? I loved you like a sister. You are my best friend, why did you choose to repay kindness with betrayal?” I asked.
She scoffed and stood up before coming to meet me. “Lucien, show her why you chose me over her. Show her why we repaid her kindness with evil.” She smirked.
“With pleasure, darling,” He chuckled, and my heart squeezed in hate. He held her waist and turned her naked body around. “You see this, Elora? She's got everything I want in a woman. Beauty, shape, kissable lips and is excellent in bed. She isn't a worthless Omega like you!”
I shut him up with another slap. “Are you nuts? Do you think being an Omega stops me from being the Alpha's daughter?” I yelled.
“Being the Alpha's daughter is the only good thing you have,”
“Shut up!” I snapped. How shameless! After everything, he still had the guts to spout gibberish before me? Did he take me for a fool because I chose to keep shut about certain things?
“Both of you will pay for what you've done. I swear I won't spare you,” I warned, pointing my index finger at them.
“What can a weakling do?” Lucien laughed.
I wiped the tears away from my face. How cruel it was to see someone I thought cared about me, someone I thought loved me so much, how cruel it was to see him treat me this way.
“You call me a weakling? Have you forgotten that I am the heiress to the throne? I could finish the both of you with just a flick of my finger. That's precisely what I'm going to do. I will make sure I expose the two of you, get you publicly disgraced, then decide your punishment from there.” My voice was firm and authoritative.
They have hurt me greatly, and I must deal with them.
I glanced at the ring on my hand. “You gave me this ring just this morning, claiming you love me and making all sorts of stupid and fake promises. You can have it back, I don't want it anymore.” I removed the ring and threw it on the floor.
“That's a good thing. At least, when we get rid of you, we won't feel guilty that you died on the day you were proposed to.” Zora snickered.
“What?” I furrowed my eyebrows, trying to comprehend what she had said. The realization dawned on me, but before I could make a move, Lucien grabbed my neck and lifted me off the ground, pinning me to the wall.
Zora came with a knife and my eyes widened. “Don't you dare?” I managed to say. His hands were tight on my neck, and it was sucking the life out of me.
“The future Luna got depressed about her parent's death, and so she had to kill herself to get rid of the pain. We tried to stop her, but it was too late. That's a catchy reason for your death, don't you think?” Lucien sneered.
I couldn't speak and tried to push him away, but his grip tightened more. I was slowly running out of breath, so I did the only thing that came to my mind then. I kicked him in the groin and he released me. I started rushing out of the room, but I halted when I felt something pierce my flesh.
My eyes widened as blood spluttered on the floor. I did a robotic turn to see Zora, holding a long sword that she had stabbed me with.
Blood spluttered from my mouth and I fell on my knees.
“I'm sorry, Elora. Sorry, you wouldn't get to see how I and Zora will overthrow the beta and take over the pack.” Lucien chuckled.
I tried to speak, but I couldn't as immense pain surged through my veins, but most especially my heart. Elora forcefully dragged the sword out, and I screamed, falling on the floor.
“I'll do a better job as Luna, so you don't need to worry.” Zora smiled and Lucien grabbed her by the waist, engaging her in an intense kiss session.
Tears rolled down my cheeks. I tried to force my eyes open, but couldn't. I instantly knew that was my last moment, and it was something I shouldn't waste. While watching them, I felt resentment and prayed to the moon goddess for a second chance to come back and make them pay for what they had done to me.
Soon enough, I couldn't keep my eyes open any longer.
The last thing I heard before succumbing to the darkness was,
“Long live the Luna.”
**Elora's POV** Betrayal hurts more than anything, especially if it is from someone you love; someone you thought loved and cared for you. That day was supposed to be the happiest day of my life, but it turned out to be a miserable one. I was brutally murdered, and my throne was at stake. At that time, everything was pitch black with no way out. Then, I knew what I had to do, and that was to request favor from the moon goddess. She answered me and in that darkest hour, I emerged, not as before but as someone new; someone strong, someone who was ready to eliminate all her enemies. ************* My eyes fluttered open and I exhaled. It was like breaths were gathering in my nose. I gasped and sprung up from the bed. My chest heaved up and down as if I was going to die a second time but after sometime, everything stabilized. “Where am I?” I rubbed my eyes to see clearly, but it was all a bit blurry. Was this the afterlife? Wasn't the afterlife supposed to be clear and peaceful? I tho
**Elora's POV** “No! Hell no!” I exclaimed immediately. Why him? Of all people in the world, why must it be Damon? Why the heck must it be him? His lips formed into a smirk. He must have felt that spark too, and known. “Hello, Mate.” “Don't you dare call me that. Don't you fucking dare!” I yelled and pulled my hair, frustratingly. Things weren't supposed to go down this way. Nothing like this happened two years ago. I haven't been able to sense my mate since I turned 18, and I learned to live with it after I met Lucien, but why should I get a mate after my rebirth? It doesn't make sense! I suddenly burst out laughing. “Oh, now I get it. The moon goddess just wants to test me,” I muttered out loud and looked up. “Moon goddess, I got your test now, so please take it back, okay? It was only a joke, and I get it.” I sounded ridiculous, but I couldn't help it. “Elora,” Damon called. I responded with a glare. This is crazy. Why him? I hated Damon to the core. The man had a thing for
**Elora's POV** “Have you gone insane? What sort of ridiculous demand is that?” Beta Dexter asked. He was practically glaring daggers at me. I scoffed. “I'll forgive you once for this rant, but the next time you talk to I, Elora Whitlock, Luna of this pack again, I won't hesitate to have you killed and thrown to the vultures.” I snapped and he gasped. “Elora, don't forget that I am the one on the throne; the one with the authority. It's disrespectful of you to come here and say gibberish.” Beta Dexter yelled at me. Elder Blake held my hand. “Daughter, what are you up to?” He whispered to me. “It is simple and clear. I am ready to emerge as Luna. Don't worry about the pack. I know everything there is to know because I have been secretly studying books and taking lessons.” I whispered back to him. “Are you sure you can do this?” He asked. “Yes, Elder Blake. You have to trust me on this one. I am no longer that naive little princess that everybody knows.” He smiled and patted my
**Elora's POV**“You can't be serious!” I exclaimed, throwing my hands in the air. Was he that shameless to use the “Omega” trick against me?Omega wolves are low ranked, but that doesn't dispute the fact that I am the Alpha's daughter and the throne is mine.The elders shook their heads as they looked at me, and I mentally rolled my eyes. Elder Blake gave me a reassuring look and I exhaled.“Elora, you're an omega; a low rank wolf. It's not right for you to lead us.” One of the elders said.“I am an omega, yes, I am not arguing, but that isn't going to stop me from taking what is rightfully mine!” I snapped.They were about to talk, but I raised my hand. “Hold it, I'm not done yet. When my father was alive, Beta Dexter had suggested they hide the truth about me being an omega. I didn't consent to that and so did my father, but he sweet talked my father into hiding the truth from you all. I should have known he was waiting for the perfect day to bring it to the light, but you know what
**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
