Zora’s POV

I settled into the chair, leaning against Darius, while Abelardo made another attempt to approach us. However, Marcel and Raphael stepped in and prevented him from getting any closer. Darius appeared composed. but I could sense that his brother’s words had unsettled him, especially since he knew I had overheard everything.
Abelardo eventually walked away, and Darius got up, signaling the end of the evening. I couldn’t approach him because his anger was palpable The intensity of his frustration was overwhelming, so I chose to remain silent. We left the club and started making our way back to the Hand Estate.
The entire drive back was filled with silence as we both contemplated the events of the night. Once we reached the bedroom, I undressed and took a shower, putting on Darius‘ t–shirt with nothing underneath. I could sense his concern.
Darius sat at the edge of the bed, and I knelt behind him, wrapping my arms around him and planting gentle kisses on his cheeks.
“I have complete faith in you, Darius. Nothing he said affected me I understand you and wanted this just as much Don’t let him get under your skin. He’s simply envious, nothing more,” I reassured him, as he held my hand and kissed it.
He turned his gaze towards me, and with a confident expression, he

spoke, “This is the end of the line for me, Zora. I can feel it deep within my soul that you’re the one. Don’t let these people mess with your mind. I haven’t kept a harem for more than three years, and I’m not searching for Shanon.” As he finished speaking, I gently placed my hand on his face and passionately kissed his lips.
“Darius, I know you’re sincere. I trust you,” I assured him, and a moment. of silence enveloped us.
“Let’s get some rest,” I suggested, and he agreed, surrendering to sleep.
The next morning, I awoke to find Darius absent from the room. Concerned. I attempted to establish a mental connection with him, only to realize he wasn’t on the premises. After taking a shower, I made my way to breakfast. Everyone was present except for Darius.
I exchanged greetings with everyone and found a place to sit.
“This morning. Darius had an urgent reason to rush off and visit his mother, all because of something that went down at the club. It caught us off guard, and he entrusted me with the task of extending his apologies. He’ll return tomorrow,” Marcel explained, causing me to furrow my brow in confusion.
“Wonderland isn’t exactly a long way off. Why wait until tomorrow inquired, curious about the delay.

“He always spends the night whenever he pays his mom a visit,” Marcel replied, and I nodded in understanding. It made sense for him to devote time to his mother.

“By the way, Zora, I don’t know if Darius filled you in on anything, but can you shed some light on the nature of your relationship with Elbert?” Marcel asked, raising another strange question about Elbert. First Darius. and now Marcel.
“I’ve only met the guy once. We danced at the party, and then he had his friend give me a ride home,” I summarized.
“Then why would he send an entire army to retrieve you from this place?” he questioned, leaving me utterly astonished.
“What!” I exclaimed, and even Kara joined in with a surprised exclamation.
“Yes, that attack was his daring attempt to liberate you from this place.” he declared, leaving me utterly bewildered.
“But here’s the twist, my dear. While we could comprehend Kara’s ex- husband’s desire to reclaim her, we simply cannot fathom Elbert’s intentions towards you,” he remarked, leaving me intrigued
“Now, let me enlighten you about a long–standing conflict between the North and the South. I doubt Darius has divulged this information to you, but you must choose between affiliating yourself with Elbert of Darius Being aligned with both would lead to disastrous consequences My Alpha deeply cares for you, and I wouldn’t want him to suffer emotional harm,” he warned, his eyes searching for Darius’s well–being
“So, is it because Darius didn’t retaliate against Elbert for murdering his father?” I inquired, seeking clarification from Marcel. He shook his head in response.

“No, Zora. It goes deeper than that. Elbert believes he should claim the title of Dark Lord Alpha by virtue of slaying the former Lord. The ongoing struggle between Elbert and Darius, which forms the crux of Elbert’s campaign to amass an army, aims to seize control over the North. East, and West. I share this secret with you because anyone aligned with Elbert is an enemy of the north,” he revealed, causing my hands to tremble uncontrollably, realizing that Casey had forged an alliance with him. Marcel’s words rang with truth, leaving no room for doubt.
Worry consumed me, not just for Casey and the entire eastern region. While Kara and Eloise appeared indifferent, I couldn’t help but care deeply. Casey was there, and his mate was expecting.
