*****Author's POV*****"Cheers." Zayn and Zayden clicked their glasses with smiles as they both leaned back in their seats and gulped down their wines.They looked very happy, mainly because they're mating ceremony was the next day. They sat in the courtyard at night, catching up as singles before they're finally paired with Elvira."You see the joy that comes with finding one's mate?" Loki asked Zayn who couldn't stop smiling. Zayn huffed and shook his head."You were right from the start, Elvira is our life. I don't even know why I suddenly feel this way, but I don't think we would be able to survive without her." Zayn said.Loki snorted, "And you spoke about class and attractiveness before." He reminded him. Zayn chuckled, "That was we being we." He replied.Loki said nothing else to him and just ignored him.Just as they sat silently enjoying their wine, the sound of a voice followed by a footstep froze them in their tracks."You both are here." Griffin asked with a smirk as he st
*****Elvira's POV*****"Wow! Look at all these dresses that were sent in!" Daphne exclaimed again as she went through the dresses sent in by the Moon mall, to my house.Today was finally the awaited day of my mating ceremony. Daphne came over as early as possible to make sure I got ready on time for the ceremony.I was sitting before the mirror as I applied some facial cleanser and moisturizer to make my face look less dry for today. Being the winter season, the cold each day was so much worse than the previous day's. Faces would look really dry, especially mine.I had to apply some things to my face to not look horrible on my day. It was the second time I was going to be marked and mated again.I felt all the emotions raw together. I was nervous, scared, excited, overwhelmed, doubting and wanting. It felt so surreal.Daphne saw that I was lost in thoughts and she came up to me to squeeze my shoulders. "The bride is overthinking, isn't she?" She asked playfully and I chuckled. "Nah, I
WARNING: TRIGGERING CONTENTS, AHEAD.*****Elvira's POV*****The car drove through the city, leaving the Shadowed moon pack to the Moonforest Den pack for the ceremony. I was sitting alone at the back seat while the car sped off to the temple.I was smiling all through the ride as I recalled how heartbroken I was a few weeks ago. I was a shell of the woman I used to be back then. After that divorce, it felt very difficult to survive and all, but today I got over it. I got over Archie. I was finally going to be happy again."Yes, we'll be completed finally." Dahlia purred and I smiled. I looked forward to seeing my mates' reaction when they saw me at the temple.The drive to the Moonforest Den pack would take at least an hour to arrive and thankfully we were almost there.I was staring at my fingers as Dahlia kept telling me everything I would do with the twins and how our lives would be from now on. My phone suddenly rang and I looked down at it to see it was a call from Daphne."Hello
*****Author's POV*****Slowly, the twins grew impatient after a whole hour had passed and Elvira still was nowhere to be found.Zayn turned to Zayden, a silent communication passing through them as they mindlinked themselves."What's keeping her?" Zayn asked worriedly, Zayden shook his head, "I don't know either. I've tried to reach out to the driver, but the line isn't connecting." Zayden said.Just as they stood there, watching their mother and Elvira's Mother pacing back and forth worriedly, Daphne ran into the hall with her phone in hand and tears streaming down her face."Alpha Zayn, Alpha Zayden, something has happened to El." She announced to the hearing of everyone. The twins had their eyes widened as they heard her words.Zayden practically flew to where she stood and grabbed her hand, shaking her as he asked, "What happened to her?!"Daphne tried to get his grip away from her as she felt dizzy from the excessive shaking. Zayn noticed this and hurried over to stop Zayden."Za
******Elvira's POV*****The car soon pulled up before the huge packhouse and we got down. Zayn held the door as I walked out of the car while Zayden lifted me the moment I was fully out. I had tried to explain to them that I was fine and I could use my legs, but they refused to listen.The preparations for the after-party were still ongoing as we walked past the main hall. The twins brought me to what seemed like their office and once we got in, Zayn shut the door.Zayden placed me on the sofa in the room and sat beside me."I said I was fine and could walk." I grumbled for the untenth time and Zayden smiled, he ran a hand through my hair and nodded, "I know, but I still can't help carrying you, baby."He also changed the way he referred to me. Not by my name anymore, but baby. I blushed and averted my gaze.Zayn who was on the phone smiled and winked at me from the other side.Once he had completed his phone call, he walked up to me and without warning, leaned in."One peck to confir
*****Elvira's POV*****A knock soon came at the door, indicating that the girls had arrived. The door was pushed open and in walked Daphne and Erika.Zayn watched as they both came to sit by my side, directly chasing Zayden away. Zayden's gaze darkened, but I blew him a kiss and he dramatically caught it immediately before beaming at me."That's more like it!"The three of us chuckled at his childishness before turning to Zayn."We're here now, Zayn." Erika said with a smile. Zayn cleared his throat and began."I already told this to El and she already explained how the accident happened. It was clearly a well proofed plot to kill her, but they failed. So I believe they would definitely come to this party to finish up the work they started." Zayn explained and I turned to see fear flash in Erika and Daphne's eyes."So what is the plan?" Erika asked, raising a confused brow. I also watched Zayn expectantly as I also felt the same confusion she felt.Zayn smiled and said, "It's simple,
*****Author's POV*****The trio went downstairs to the ballroom and realized that guests were beginning to arrive."We have to hurry up to the entrance, we can't delay it." Daphne said as they hurried their step down the stairs. They soon spotted the twins and their mother at the other side and they led Elvira in that direction.The twins were conversing with the queen about Elvira when they suddenly perceived the honeysuckles she smelled like. Instantly, they knew she was nearby. They both turned, only to be met with a jaw dropping sight of Elvira looking gorgeous in a red knee length strapless dress.She had her hair flowing behind her and that bandage actually added a bit of beauty to her appearance for some weird reason.She flashed them a smile as the queen waved at her."El!" She cheered and Elvira hurried over to hug her. "Hi Your Highness.""Just call me Mum." The queen said with a frown as she pulled away from Elvira.Elvira smiled and nodded. "Hi, Mum" she repeated and the q
******Elvira's POV******Everything happened so fast, one minute the Queen was running towards me, the next moment, the chandelier fell over her.Guests screamed and began to run out of the ballroom. I myself sat on the floor watching the shattered chandelier and the silhouette of the Queen in the middle of the mess.I felt so many emotions at once as I sat there on the floor. My head was throbbing and I felt light headed. I had a feeling I was going to pass out.I was watching the twins panic as they ran around trying to get their mother out of the flames.The Queen had not just saved my life, but she also sacrificed her life in the process. I felt my whole world crumble as I sat there, my gaze fixed on the entire crowd trying to put off the fire.When I looked up, I saw a figure, someone dressed in a maid's outfit running towards the exit.But I refuse to let that person escape after what they did to the Queen.Without warning, I struggled to get up to my feet, then in one swift mot
