Elder Blake snuck out of the palace and made his way to the location Dexter had given him. Dexter's joy was boundless when Elder Blake told him he had the stamp, but that joy didn't do away with his common sense.When Elder Blake got there, he placed a knock on the door and it opened.“Come in,” He heard Dexter's voice from within, and it sent chills down his body.With shaky hands and feet, he found himself moving to the direction the voice came from. He saw different people on the floor, bound with chains and felt bad for them. He prayed his daughter was fine.“Dexter.” He called when he got to where Dexter was seated.“I have nothing to say to you, old man. Our deal ends here,” He stretched out his hand and Elder Blake sighed, bringing out the stamp.Dexter smiled the moment the stamp entered his hand. He gestured for those with him to release the girl and they did.“Now, get the fuck out of here!” He snapped at the old man and returned his gaze to the stamp in his hand.Elder Blake

**Damon's POV**I led Elder Blake into a secret part of the garden where the betas that have stayed in the pack usually has secret meetings. No one knew about the place except the Alpha or Luna, the elders, and the newly appointed betas.While Elora was showing me around the palace and dictating my roles to me, she had brought me here and told me how it should be kept a secret. Dexter might have been a beta in the pack once and known of this place but after I found out about it, I changed the passcode and tightened the security. No one except me and Elora can access it.When I brought Elder Blake there, I made him sit down, and sat too, facing him. We stared at each for a while and I suddenly heaved a deep sigh of relief.“I'm so glad you survived, Elder Blake.” I smiled at him.He chuckled. “Believe me, my heart was in my throat. That place is so scary!” He exclaimed.“Typical Dexter, of course. Do you think he would stay in a fancy place, considering that his soul is as dark as night

**Author's POV**Elora called for a meeting with the whole pack, she wanted to make sure her plan worked immediately.The room was filled after ten minutes, everyone sat in their chairs and waited for Elora to speak. "Bring him in." Elora said firmly to the guards who stood at the entrance waiting for her command.There was a loud gasp in the room as Elder Blake was brought in by the guards.He was made to stand in the middle with Elora, he looked at her with eyes wide open, his eyes narrowing a little, Elora's expression was stern as she stared back at him."I called for a meeting because of Elder Blake." Elora announced, the room became noisy as other elders began wondering what Elder Blake did to be brought in as a criminal.Whispers of 'what happened' were heard in the crowd of elders and Blake himself was beginning to sweat under his gaze from Elora's cold stare.Elora spoke once again, "You've done something wrong Elder Blake, you already know why I brought you here, I wanted th

**Author's POV**Damon knocked the door to Elora's room, a smile on his face, though his mind was clouded with what was going on around them.The door opened and Elora stood in the doorway dressed like she had been just woken up from bed. Her eyes were sleepy, her hair tousled into a mess that made her look even younger than usual. She smiled sleepily at him and said "Come in." Her voice sounded hoarse, but she sounded happy nonetheless. As Damon stepped inside, his worries stopped for a little while, "Yes, Damon what is it?" Elora asked, her voice and smile playful."I came to report something to you." Damon replied, his eyes getting a little dim as she opened the door looking around again."The pack is in turmoil, and right now, I've tried to make them less sad, though some of them are restless." Damon sighed, trying not to get upset again himself."And I've tightened the security in the pack, I've made the guards stand guard everywhere." He added, he didn't really want anyone but

**Elora's POV**I moaned when he trailed kisses down my collarbone, my skin tingling from both his breath and the electricity of his touch. My legs tangled with his own, but he wasn't done yet…not until I gave him every satisfaction in me that he wanted to taste. His hands found the zipper on my skirt and he began pushing it up, my hips rocking into his hard as he pressed a trail of wet kisses against my stomach.I gripped at his shoulders with one hand while stroking at the hair above his head with the other. My fingernails dug into his scalp lightly while his mouth latched onto my hip bone. “Damon…” I said breathlessly, arching my back when he bit gently just below my navel.He chuckled in response before continuing the assault on my thigh.I let out an undignified squeal when his fingers dipped inside of me, my body arching off the bed and onto mine while I wrapped my leg around him and pulled him even closer.He grunted in response, his eyes flashing with desire and lust.His tee
