*WARNING ⚠️ SEX SCENE***Zora's POV**She took us back to the palace and we stopped at the door to I and Lucien's room.“Thanks for today, Luna. I really had fun.” I hugged her.She hugged me back. “It's my pleasure. You two can go take a shower. It's almost time for dinner.” She patted my back and walked away.When we entered the room, I locked the door and hugged Lucien. “I'm so proud of you, Lucien. You did a very good job today.” I whispered and he chuckled.“I'm sick of showing her respect, so the least I can do is to be serious with this mission.” He replied and I nodded.“I was able to inject the poison into her ice cream. It's not going to take effect immediately. It'll gradually destroy her.” I smirked.“Yes, but I'm worried about something,” He said and I pulled away from the hug, staring at him. “How're we going to administer the rest of the poison?” “You do not need to worry about that. Trust me, I'll take care of it.” I smirked.“I trust you. Why don't we celebrate this
**Author's POV**“What do you want us to talk about?” Zora asked and Damon sighed.“I just want to talk to you two. I can see you're less busy, so why don't we discuss before you go for dinner?” He inquired.Zora exchanged looks with Lucien. She put on a brave front, so he wouldn't notice her uneasiness. Within her, she wondered if Damon had found out something about her and Lucien. If he has, then there was trouble… big trouble.The least she could do now is not give herself away because he would obviously attempt to intimidate them.She sighed and nodded. Damon tried to search for any sign of fears in her eyes, at least that would give him a guarantee that they had nothing to hide but that's obviously not working. She seemed bold, like she knew what he had in mind for them.He gestured for them to follow him and they did as he led them to the sitting room. He made them sit on the chair and the first question he threw at them almost threw them off balance.“Have you guys heard of Zor
“My soul?” Beta Dexter asked, and she nodded with a mischievous smile plastered on her face.Lucinda left him and sat down, waiting for his answer. “You want power. I can give you power, Dexter. I can make you rise high above your enemies and trample on them all. Of course, I can do that. But nothing as strong and powerful as that comes without a Price. You have to pay the price, so you can enjoy it later.” She smiled at him.Dexter sighed and weighed his options. She was right, though. What did he need his soul for if he was going to have unlimited power? His soul meant nothing to him as far as he would have the chance to teach Elora a very valuable lesson.He looked at her and nodded his head. “I'll gladly sell my soul to you, but if I do that, how am I going to leave?” He asked.Lucinda cackled. “I'm not taking your soul out of you. I'm using it for my own gain. It's not like I'm snatching it and killing you in the process.” She answered.Dexter sighed in relief. “Alright. I'm read
**Elora's POV**I saw the elders scrunch up their faces in irritation. Even I found it weird, but I did give Damon the go ahead to do whatever he liked. I was eager to know who the murderer was.I have a conviction that it wouldn't be Elder Blake because he had nothing to do with Gina. He was someone who didn't like having any familiarity with the maids or guards, but I didn't want to conclude just yet because of what Lucien did to me. I have learnt not to trust too easily and allow personal conviction get in the way of what I'm trying to achieve.“What do you think you're doing? Are you trying to blame us, the elders, for the death of a common maid?” Elder Brent asked.He had been quiet for some time, and I wondered why he spoke up.“This isn't something you should have a problem with, Elder Brent. Besides, Elder Blake didn't say anything, so I don't see why—”“Because he didn't say anything doesn't mean he approved of this bullshit!” He snapped, interrupting Damon, which kind of pis
**Elora's POV**“What the heck did you just tell me?” I asked him.“I said I would tell you everything you need to know, only if you spare me.” He said.I ordered the guards to take him to where he would be whipped mercilessly. Maybe he wasn't in his right senses before asking to be spared after taking another person's life. The whipping should bring him to his senses. I could hear his screams as he got whipped and it was like music to my ways. He was a wicked man and desm deserve sympathy nor pity and definitely not mercy.After a while, he was brought back, looking almost half dead.“Now, what did you tell me again?” I asked, thinking the whip might have reset his brain, but I was wrong.“Spare me.” He coughed out blood.I frowned. “Your audacity today is alarming, Elder
**Author's POV**Dexter stepped into the woods and looked around. After returning from the witch's place and acquiring power, he realized that his senses were heightened more than before and he was almost invincible.He could do whatever he wanted to, see whatever he wanted, and hear whatever he wanted as well. And what he had heard was something he wouldn't want to happen. He'd have to take them out to avoid his plans getting ruined by a wannabe Luna.He disappeared and appeared in front of the hut where he had kept the elders himself. With a smirk, he placed a knock on the door.When the elders realized that he was the one, they opened the door for him and he entered.“Oh my goodness, Dexter, you're back!” Elder Moon exclaimed.“He looks different from when we last saw him.” Elder Matt chuckled.“Were you a
**Damon's POV**After Elora fainted, I panicked and quickly caught her before she hit the floor. I stared at the writing in blood, and no one needed to tell who the heck had done that.Dexter!I knew the moment we stepped in and saw the dead elders that Dexter was responsible. He had killed them to cover up for his crimes, and so they wouldn't expose what he had done.“Clean the place up,” I ordered the guards and left with Elora.When I got to the palace, I rushed her to the room and placed her on the bed. Zena and Luca rushed in immediately with worried looks on their faces.“Oh my goodness! What happened to her?” Zena asked and I sighed.“She passed out.” I answered.“What are you doing standing there, let's look for a way to revive her,” Zena panicked and started searching around. “Hey, Luca, go get water, anything and call the pack doctor!” She dashed out orders and I became shocked because I thought they were bad people and seeing her panic this much, even more than me, started m
**Zora's POV**When I returned to the room, I locked the door and jumped up happily.“I wonder what happened to her that made her faint, Lucien. Do you think it's the poison?” I asked Lucien, who sat on the bed, his lips forming into a smile.“I don't think it's the poison. The poison is supposed to lilo her slowly before getting worse, and that should be after the final dose. You're so smart, Zora!” He praised, and I smiled, pretending not to know what he was talking about.“Smart?” I asked.“Yes. I liked how you acted all worried about her and made Damon rush to get her water. You even argued with him and I bet he's confused right now whether we have ulterior motives or not.” He whispered and I chuckled.He was right, though. Everything I did out there was an act to make Damon lower his guard and to also confuse him. Luckily for us, I was able to inject Elora the last dose before he returned from the bathroom with water. The feeling was superb, and I can't wait to see the effects of
