Zora’s POV
He grasped her fury, recognizing her rightful anger. No one should endure such mistreatment. Jada bore visible silver scars, undoubtedly inflicted by brutal beatings, as our conflicts seldom took place in the eastern territories. The noble white wolf had endured much.

“I have no affinity for seizing control of other domains. It was my father who conquered the West. As long as no one provokes me, there is no need for such actions. I trust the Alphas to make the best decisions for their people. Besides. Casey Grady will surely keep them in line.” Darius stated, glancing at me. He searched my eyes, seeking something that was absent. Despite that, he still harbored an apprehension that my heart belonged to Casey. It was endearing to witness.
After we finished our meal, Darius suggested heading to the local club, which surprised me since newcomers were typically restricted to the premises.
Returning to his room, I realized that I couldn’t don lingerie, transparent tunics, or elegant gowns for the club.
“I’ve got nothing to wear,” I complained, and he grinned at me
“Don’t worry, I ordered some clothes this morning. They’ll be here soon,” he reassured, pressing me against the wall.

I wrapped my legs around him, and he passionately ripped apart the delicate lace panties, diving into me with an overwhelming eagerness. Darius growled with contentment, and I couldn’t help but be incredibly turned on as I witnessed his teeth elongating. It was a thrilling sight for
me..
His claws extended, and I held onto him tightly as he moved with a primal intensity. We were completely absorbed in our own world, paying no attention to the knocking at the door. I climaxed rapidly, and he followed suit.
Gently, he lowered me down, and I burst into laughter.
“I’ve got quite the appetite,” he murmured, playfully nibbling on my ears.
“Always ready to please,” I responded, and we shared a joyful laugh together.
He adjusted his posture, while I quickly covered my torn delicate lace lingerie with my robe. The door made a soft click, and two rolling hangers brought in a selection of clothes.
The workers silently placed two boxes on the vanity table and left the room discreetly.
As I examined the clothes, my eyes widened in delight. They were truly stunning. One box contained exquisite jewelry, while the other held an array of makeup items.
Darius had gone above and beyond. After taking a refreshing shower, I sought Darius‘ assistance in choosing the perfect outfit from the new clothes.

He approached the task with great care, displaying an adorable attention to detail. Eventually, we both agreed on a captivating short club dress in a deep blue shade, made of luxurious velvet. The dress had a halter neck, revealing a backless design and tastefully arranged sequins adorned its surface.
I opted for silver heels to complement the dress and let my hair flow freely, keeping my makeup simple yet elegant.
Darius wore a stylish sage–colored shirt, paired with blue jeans, and neatly tied his long hair in a ponytail. He looked absolutely breathtaking.
“You look absolutely stunning, Zora,” he complimented, and I couldn’t help but beam with joy.
“Well, you’re quite the sight yourself,” I replied, appreciating his
appearance.
He smiled warmly, drew me closer, and took a deep breath, savoring my fragrance
“Zora,” he whispered into my ear, his breath sending shivers down my
spine
“Yes, I promise,” I replied, locking eyes with him. He delved deep into my gaze, searching for any trace of falsehood, and I met his gaze without hesitation.
“You don’t have to be cautious around me, unless you want to end it. My relationship with Caseynardo has reached its conclusion. I’ll be by your

side, steadfast and unwavering.” I confided to him, and he leaned his forehead against mine, letting out a heartfelt sigh. Then, he pulled me into a firm embrace.
“I give you my word. I won’t let this slip away,” he vowed, and I slowly wrapped my arms around him. Our relationship was progressing rapidly, filled with fervor.
As we arrived at the castle entrance, my eyes fell upon three Jeeps, each occupied by someone. Eloise sat in one with Raphael, glimpses of her vibrant red top catching my attention. It seemed red held a special place in her heart. Kara, on the other hand, donned a purple outfit while accompanying Marcel, and we settled into the final Jeep.
The journey was far from smooth, as we descended along the rugged road leading to the property. We ventured through a dense forest, the trees enveloping us in their majestic presence.
“We’re embarking on a journey towards the heart of a magical town known as Wonderland,” Darius announced, leaving me awestruck by the revelation that he had a family.
“I had no idea you had relatives,” I admitted, genuinely surprised, and he chuckled.
“After my father’s tragic demise, my brother and I made a pact to protect our mother. So, we whisked her away from the opulent Hand Estate and settled her here. Despite being the youngest, I inherited the Alpha genes, making me the leader. My brother pays occasional visits, but we don’t always see eye to eye,” he explained, piquing my curiosity.

“What are your disagreements about?” I inquired eagerly.

“When I assumed control, I implemented several changes, discarding some of my father’s cruel practices. He didn’t take kindly to it, and we’ve been at odds ever since,” he responded, his pain evident in his words.
“How does your mother feel about all of this?” I pressed further, and he let out a weary sigh.
“She shares some common ground with him, but not everything. You see, my mother is furious with me because I haven’t brought my father’s murderer to justice yet. And because of that, she perceives me as feeble.” he confessed, leaving me intrigued about their personalities.
If they deemed Darius weak, I couldn’t help but wonder what their concept of ‘strength‘ entailed.
“Do you know who’s responsible?” I inquired, observing as he gripped the steering wheel tightly, his knuckles turning white.
“Elbert,” he replied, pressing down on the accelerator. “That scoundrel alleged that my father had trespassed, but it was a lie. My brother engaged in a war with him, but he wasn’t prepared, so Elbert emerged victorious. My mother and brother resent me for not joining and leading the battle. However, I couldn’t do it. Despite my yearning, I knew the truth. My father was a wicked man, so I couldn’t entirely blame Elbert for his actions.
According to him, my father took his mother as a tribute, and she never returned to them, driving his father insane and compelling him to assume the alpha role at a young age.

My father ruined his life, and honestly, my father was at fault since the South hadn’t committed any wrongdoing. He desired to enforce their submission and collect taxes from them. They resisted, and he retaliated. The East and West agreed to comply, but the South resisted, so he attacked. Therefore, I could fathom Elbert’s fury towards my father and why he sought vengeance by killing him. Although Elbert’s actions were cowardly. I could comprehend them. I purposefully abstained from joining that battle against the South because we couldn’t perpetuate a cycle of killing in the name of revenge. I had to break that chain at some point,” he sighed.
“Anyway, that’s how the jerk ended up with the name Elbert. He killed the former wolf lord and triumphed over my brother in the war. My mother and brother despise the fact that he’s still alive, which is why my older brother. Abelardo, believes he should be the Wolf Lord instead of me,” he explained, and a perplexed expression crossed my face.
“But he’s not the Alpha,” I argued.
“Well, being the lord doesn’t necessarily require Alpha genes. Abelardo attempted to convince the council of elders to remove me from power, but he failed miserably. It’s a messed up situation, Zora,” he said, glancing at me with a smile before returning his gaze to the road.
“I don’t want you to worry about my family problems tonight. I want us to have a great time,” he assured me, continuing to drive.
We chatted and giggled about insignificant matters until we finally reached Wonderland, a breathtaking city. It made me forget that we actually lived in a modern world, slightly more advanced than Mountain. Our destination was a fancy club called Starnight. It had an elegant vibe, and I clung to Darius, leaning on him,
