**Zora's POV** “Cut off his fingers!” Lucien and I exclaimed at the same time. Who did she think she was passing such a judgment? “Is she really going to do it?” Lucien asked me, his eyes fixed on what was happening. “How am I supposed to know?” I snapped. “Well, she's your best friend. You should know the kind of things she's capable of doing.” He replied and I sighed. “Even I don't know the kind of monster she has turned into. She just… changed overnight.” I sighed and moved to get a better look. The man started weeping immediately, but Elora stood there with an expressionless face. Her expression was so hard to read that no one could guess what she was actually going to do next. “I told you, and I'm going to tell you again. Mercy isn't in my dictionary!” She snapped at the man, whose face was already covered in tears. “I have made up my mind, and that is for you to get your deserved punishment.” “But—” The man wanted to speak. “Silence!” Elora snapped and everyone gasped. S
*Zora's POV**“What does she want?” Lucien asked as I got down from the bed.“I have no idea,” I answered and went to the bathroom, took a quick shower and got out. I put on my clothes and grabbed my purse. “I'll see you tomorrow. Bye.” I pecked him and hurried out.I was anxious to know what Sage called me for and had to shift to sprint there. I ran through the woods in my wolf form, and before I knew it, I got there in no time and looked up to see her sitting on the roof. When she saw me, she got down.I shifted back and wore my clothes. The door opened and she pulled me in.“You're here.” She smiled.“What's the problem? You sounded so urgent on the phone.” I said and went to sit on the couch.She followed, sitting beside me. “Well, I need your help.” “With what?” I asked.She bit her lip. She was hesitant.“Sage,” I called.She sighed. “It's about that man,” “What man?” I asked.“The man you brought the last time as part of our deal.” She explained.“Oh, Dan.” I smiled.“Is that
**Zora's POV**My eyes widened when those words left his mouth.“Dan, are you being serious right now? You want me first?” I asked and he chuckled.“I haven't seen what you're made of yet, and I'm curious.” He lifted my chin.“But we're friends.” I cautioned and his smile deepened.“Haven't you heard about friends with benefits?” He asked and my eyes widened.“You pervert!” I snapped, making him laugh.“Think and make your choice now. I'm waiting for you.” He blew me a kiss.I sighed and ruffled my hair. Was I really going to do this? It wasn't like I had a choice anyway. I really needed Sage's help with potions and the rest, and since she was willing to offer them for free, who am I to blow it off? It'd only be for one night. Thank goodness he doesn't fuck bitches twice like he said.“Alright, I'll do it but consider it as a one-night stand. It will never happen again.” I warned him.“Sure thing,” He smirked and wrapped his hand around my waist, tucking a strand of my hair behind my
**Elora's POV**“Was I too hard on the man?” I asked Damon the minute we entered my room.“You did what was right, Elora. You followed your father's rules and that is right. He deserved whatever he got, and that should also serve as an example for the rest of them.” He replied and I sighed.I sat on the bed, and he sat beside me. When his hands were being cut off, I had to gather the courage to still have my expressionless face on. The truth was that the blood wasn't a good sight for me, and if my people could look at it, who am I to look away?It wasn't something I have done before, and it bothered me. “Elora,” Damon called, and I turned to face him. “Stop thinking about it and go to bed, okay? It's not your fault for passing the right judgment, and believe me when I say, nobody will blame you for it.” He held my shoulders.“You really think so?” I asked and he nodded. “I just feel remorseful towards the man, you know. He allowed himself to get used and suffered for it.” I facepalme
**Elora's POV**My body twitched in excitement when he made that statement and shivered anticipating what he would do to me. He trailed kisses down my collarbone, making it tingle. The way his lips touched my skin sent a rush of pleasure through me. My eyes fluttered shut as I let him work on my neck. He ran his hand up my shirt, brushing against me with his fingertips, sending goosebumps all over my exposed flesh. He cupped one breast in his palm, then moved the other breast aside and pinched my nipple between his fingers. I arched into his touch, moaning. His mouth moved lower, to my earlobe, sucking gently, but not hard enough. My nipples hardened further against my dress, and the hem of my skirt bunched up underneath me. He continued kissing and nibbling at my ear while his free hand moved lower, to my hip where he pulled me tighter against him. He unzipped my dress and pulled it over my shoulder, leaving me in my panties and bra. I tried to cover myself, but he stopped me.“Yo
**Damon's POV**“What am I doing here?” I asked and her glare hardened. I cleared my throat and looked away.“Oh my goodness! Did you take advantage of me?” She asked with widened eyes.Is she being serious right now? I looked at her and chuckled.“What's funny? Answer me!” She snapped and raised the duvet up to herself.Why don't I play with her a little? “What if I did? What are you going to do about it?” I moved close to her and she moved back.“Don't you dare try playing smart with me, Damon. Tell me what you did to me.” She snapped.“Come on, Elora. How can you tell me this when you enjoyed the whole thing?” I asked and she kept quiet. I moved close to her and whispered into her ears. “You were even begging me not to stop. You asked me to go harder, rougher and faster.Her eyes widened. “Shut up! Oh my gosh!” She screamed and covered herself with the duvet.“Aren't you going to come out?” I asked.“No. I'm going to stay here forever. What got into me? Out of all the guys in the w
**Elora's POV**“Do I need to come there and force your mouths open?” I asked and Lucien flinched, but Damon stood unmoved.Obviously, he was the stubborn one. I heard everything they said, but I wanted them to say it with their mouths. I know I should be in bed, but I couldn't sleep as the thoughts of what happened with Damon was constantly on replay in my head. I'm only able to face him now because Lucien is here, and I wouldn't want to let my guard down.“Luna, there is nothing serious going on. It's just a friendly argument.” Lucien answered.“Didn't look like it,” I folded my hands and glanced at them, urging them to speak.“I'll be on my way now.” Damon bowed and started walking away.I frowned. Why the sudden cold attitude? I didn't understand why I felt bad about the way he left.“Elora…”Lucien called and I threw him a glare. “Your highness,” He corrected himself.“I don't think we have anything to talk about, Lucien.” I raised my hand and made to leave.“Just give me a chan
**Zora's POV**“She said she'd think about it!” Lucien screamed the moment he entered my room.“I can see that you've forgotten how to knock.” I snapped and he scoffed.“Seriously, what do you have that I haven't seen before?” He smirked and I glared at him.“You pervert!” I snapped, making him chuckle. “So, what were you talking about?” I asked.“How about a quickie before I tell you?” He moved close to me and I poked his forehead.“I'm not in the mood, Lucien. Now, tell me what you were talking about!” I ordered.He pouted and sat up. “Well, I met Elora today. Although I met Damon first.” Immediately he mentioned Damon's name, I frowned. That jerk that won't leave her alone. I just hope he doesn't follow us to the outing tonight, else I might be forced to poison him as well.“What happened with Damon?” I asked.“Nothing much. I only warned him to stay away from Elora, but he seems to be proving stubborn.” Lucien sighed.“We'll take care of him later. So, what did you discuss with El
