Darius held me into the morning. I felt a strong connection between us, something that wasn’t there before.
He was mine, and it was confirmed this time. There was no fear or uncertainty between us. He was mine.
still could not believe that he kept his promise and made me proud.
thought I would walk out of the ballroom alone and humiliated, but instead, I left with Darius after he had publicly rejected Shanon.
I honestly felt bad for her, but she did not seem nice.
How could she expect me to get up and walk away from my man simply because she showed up and they were fated? I guess she knows now.
I woke up in the morning feeling light. The void I felt when I rejected Hardy was gone. I was filled with love and hope.
I looked to my side, and there he was, handsome as always, with his messy hair on the pillow, and I thanked the goddess for giving him to me. I would have never imagined that I would be this blessed or there was hope for me after what Casey did. I was grateful, and I knew I would always be.
I woke him up gently because we needed to be present for the opening ceremony in Wonderland. It also meant we would be staying in the house in Wonderland.
I knew the staff had helped pack our things, so all we had to do was get dressed, get some food in our systems and head to Wonderland to attend

the opening ceremony.
I could not wait to be a part of the celebration.

There would be parades and performances from different packs from all over. I was excited.
I nibbled Darius’s ear, and he groaned, waking up gradually.
He opened his eyes and looked at me with a frown which I returned, and then he grabbed me and turned me on my back and leaned over me. Darius was that alert, and I liked it.
He tickled me, making me laugh until my lungs began to hurt. Then he stopped and stared at me.
“Good morning, darling,” He said, kissing my neck, making a moan escape my lips.
He did not stop but continued.
As much as I wanted to tell him we had something to attend to, I wanted him to touch me, So I held my tongue.
“I wanted to peel that beautiful dress off your body the last night,” He said, working his way down to my breast.
“I guess I will have to imagine I did and make do with what is in front of me,” He said and sucked one of my nipples while he played with the other. My body anticipated it. Soon he was inside me pumping.
I wanted to stay in the room and not go anywhere, but soon we both came and had to shower.
Darius washed my body, and I washed his. It felt great. Nothing was burdening our hearts. I could not speak for him, but his eyes showed he was light, and I was light too.

“Thank you for remaining by my side through it, Zora,” He said in the shower while I traced his tattoos with my hand.
“My love,” He said and lifted my chin. I was battling tears, but we were under the shower, so he could not see it.
“I can never leave you. Always know that.” He said, and I hugged him and placed my head against his chest.
“I can never leave you, darling. I can never leave you,” I said, and he held
- me.
We did not need to say anything. Our actions had said it all. I had
rejected Hardy for him, and he had rejected Shanon for me. Love did not get better than this. Making our choice and sticking to it. Not driven by some forces that compel us to love, but falling naturally and nurturing the feeling as it blossoms into something beautiful.
We finished and went for breakfast.
The moment we stepped into the dining room, everyone started clapping Marcel, Theo, Kara and Eloise clapped. Darius and I had crossed a fire they had not experienced and might never see. I smiled, and Kara winked at me. She knew I had crossed that fire with Hardy long ago.
“Yours finally,” She linked me, and I smiled at her because she understood my relief. We went to sit down, and they took turns congratulating us.
I was very hungry, so I ate a lot of food, and Darius kept adding things to my plate. He always reminded me I was eating for two, and he did not want his child to be malnourished. It was cute, really.
“We are expected to cut the ribbon for the opening,” Marcel said, and Darius smiled at him.
“I think Abelardo should cut the ribbon this year. He had always wanted

“He is a serious handicap on our team,” Theo said, grumbling and everyone laughed.
“Zora,” Kara said, and I turned to look at her.

“Guess who is playing polo?” She asked with a mischievous grin, and I frowned at her.
“Casey, Sheperd and Cruz with some other douchebags from the east.” She said, and I was in shock because I knew Casey did not play polo.
“When did they start playing polo?” I asked and looked at Eloise, who shrugged.
“I don’t know, but I think it is a bit suspicious,” Kara said, and I remembered how the men were looking at them at the ball.
“Was that why they were looking at Marcel and Raphael scornfully?” I asked, and Eloise smiled.
“I saw that. I looked right past him.” She said, laughing with satisfaction in her voice.
“I can’t wait to see them fool themselves on the field.” She said and
looked at Theo.
“If your team happen to meet theirs, please do me the honours by beating the crap out of Cruz. After all, accidents happen on the field,” She said and kissed Theo, who seemed to be on board with what she was saying
-I wanted to say they should exclude Casey from their plan, but I did not
know how Darius would feel about it
I could not laugh at their plan. As great as it sounded, I couldn’t.
Above all, I remember that Casey made a fool of himself at the ball to try

to save me from embarrassment. He was the leader of the east, I knew many people would talk about his drunken stunt, and it might make. headlines, and he did it for me. I also knew Casey knew nothing about polo and wouldn’t be safe playing against our men on the field.
Darius touched my hand and kissed it gently.
“I won’t let them hurt Casey, Zora. Just Cruz and Sheperd, not Casey,” he linked me, and I searched his eyes expectantly.
