*****Elvira's POV*****The car drove us back to the Packhouse and once we arrived, Erika wasted no time in pushing her door open. I also got down from the car and followed her as we walked into the mansion.“Can you identify her when you see her?” Erika asked without turning to look at me. I gave a firm nod and said, “Of course, I know that face very well.”“Good. Everyone! Assemble at once, to the living room!” She screamed at the top of her voice and not so long later, all the maids and guards gathered together in the living room. She watched them all lined up and gazes lowered to the floor.She turned to look at me, but I turned to look at the maid who had deceived me on that day."El?” Erika called out to me, seeing I wasn't averting my gaze.“There, she is the one." I finally said, pointing at the fair maid.Erika's head snapped in the direction of the maid. She then walked slowly but steadily towards her.The maid suddenly went on her knees as tears filled her eyes. "Your highn

*****Author's POV*****They stayed at the cafe that was a few blocks away from the Nocturnes Manor as they waited for Derek Nocturne.Sooner than expected, he walked into the cafe. Firstly, the Twins couldn't recognize him, they felt confused when he suddenly approached their table with a smile."And you are?" Zayden asked sarcastically. "Derek Nocturne, I'm surprised you don't remember me anymore." He said and chuckled at the boys.Zayden, being overly dramatic, gasped in shock when he heard the man's name."Mr Nocturne? What happened to you?" Zayden asked, unable to hold his shock.They all knew Derek right from when they were still in their diapers. They knew he was rich and very influential. But suddenly, he looked tattered and old.Derek chuckled and took a seat before them. Ross kept on a poker face as he didn't know who the man was. Zayn still had his perfectly carved brow lifted up in a questioning form as he waited for the man's response."Mr Nocturne, what happened? Why do

*****Author's POV*****"Do you have to do this?" Zayden asked as he pulled Elvira closer, nestling his face in the crook of her fair neck. Elvira smiled and patted his head, Zayn had gone with Griffin to find the location where Lavinia's hideout was situated.Elvira was currently sitting on Zayden's lap with his arms wrapped around her protectively."Yes, I have to. We need to live a normal life again, a life with no fear or watching our backs. If we eventually leave her to do as she pleases without taking her down, we would be at the losing end, Zayden." She reasoned."All I want is for our unborn child to be safe and sound when coming into this world. Don't you want that too?" She asked and this time, he had no choice but to accept."Elvira, nothing must happen to you." He added and she smiled."Nothing will happen to me." She said and nodded at him. Soon, the door to the room was pushed open and Zayn walked In with a gloomy expression."El, do you have to do this?" Be asked the sa

*****Author's POV*****The moment Zayden was sent over to the hospital, Zayn and some men got a call from a maid at the Nocturnes manor. "Who is this and what do you want?" He asked impatiently and the maid at the other side breathed."Your highness, my name is Nicole and I'm calling from the Nocturne's Manor." Zayn frowned."What do you want?" "Alpha, it's Mr Nocturne. He… he is dead." She informed him and Zayn froze. "What?" Zayn jerked up from the hospital chair."When and how did it happen?" "It was… Mrs Nocturne who killed him under Miss Lavinia's orders." Hearing this, Zayn's fist clenched and he turned to look at Eric. Erika was with Elvira and Freya in one of the hospital rooms.Through the mindlink, Zayn spoke to Eric."Get and kill Lavinia's mother this instant." Eric nodded and bowed before walking out."Where is Celine?" Zayn asked Nicole and Nicole immediately replied."She is busily packing, about to go abroad." Zayn felt disgusted by that woman.After killing

*****Author's POV*****A few months later…Sound of cheers and applause erupted in the entire pack hall as Ross and Erika were finally mated.They were then taken to the altar of the goddess to crown them the Alpha and Luna of the Shadowfang Clan.Eric watched from the sides with a smile on his face. Even if he didn't end up as Erika's husband and mate, he still had a friend to turn to.He watched her protruding belly and sighed.She even realized she was pregnant on the same day she told him that she couldn't be with him. That was enough to tell him that she wasn't ever going to be his, no matter how hard he tried.Once they had completed the rituals and everything related, everyone went forward to congratulate them one after the other. Zayn helped Elvira as he led her to congratulate the couple as well."Congrats, Rika." She beamed as she went ahead to hug Erika.She then turned to Ross."Congrats, Brother." She said to his surprise and he grinned."Thank you, Luna." He returned an
