As soon as I arrived, our feast commenced. It struck me as peculiar that Marcel chose to wait until I joined them before digging in. Usually, when Darius wasn’t around, he took charge. I took it as a thoughtful gesture and felt genuinely appreciative.
Once dinner was over, Eloise and Raphael hurriedly departed, and it didn’t take a genius to deduce what they were up to. Eloise no longer seemed tense around him, and I couldn’t help but feel happy for her. Cruz was a real jerk, and it was great to see her moving on.
I had hoped that Marcel would allow Kara to spend time with me, but it seemed like Kara preferred his company instead. I understood her choice. so I decided not to make a fuss about it. Slowly, I made my way back to the room, lost in my thoughts.
As I strolled along, Cindy crossed my path, and I braced myself for her usual sarcastic remarks. To my surprise, she embraced me instead, catching me completely off guard.
“Zora, thank you for not embarrassing me out there,” she said, breaking the hug with a sincere smile.
“You and the alpha make a great couple; I hope it lasts. Ever since he disbanded his Harem three years ago, he’s been single. You’re really lucky,” she commented, causing me to furrow my brow in confusion.

“Were you around here three years ago?” I inquired, and she nodded in affirmation.
“I arrived just a few months before he sent away the women he was involved with. There were five of them in total,” she said with a smile, and a pang of envy coursed through me. But it was only natural, considering my feelings for Darius.
“Well, good for them; at least they’re free,” I remarked, and she shook her head.
“They didn’t want to leave. It was awful. He treated them like they meant nothing. It was heartbreaking to witness. Especially Arya, who was head over heels for him. We all thought she would become his mate, with the way he showered her with attention, and the fact that she came from a small pack up north. But he cast her aside as if she were worthless,” she explained, and I didn’t want to hear any more.
“Well, it’s not my concern,” I replied, hoping to change the subject. She nodded understandingly and placed a comforting hand on my shoulder.
“I don’t mean to upset or offend you. Please don’t take it the wrong way. But be cautious and be prepared to say goodbye. I’m only sharing this with you because you were kind to me today. When he let those women go, he made it clear that they were wasting their time because he has no intention of ever settling down,” she revealed. I smiled gratefully at her and expressed my gratitude.
“Well, when it comes to settling down, been there, done that. It’s not as easy as it seems. But hey, let’s see where this journey takes me. Still, I appreciate the heads up,” I said, flashing a grateful smile.

As she spoke, I couldn’t quite decipher her intentions. Was she trying to hurt me or just make me feel down? If she genuinely had my best interests at heart and was trying to warn and prepare me, then I truly appreciated her concern. But if not, well, she was simply wasting her time.
Returning to my room, I indulged in a refreshing shower and slipped into Darius’s shirt, which had somehow become a regular part of my bedtime attire. It was pretty evident that our wardrobes had started to intertwine, a symbol of our growing closeness.
Who would’ve imagined that I, of all people, would end up with the infamous Dark Lord Alpha? It was a mind–boggling twist of fate. And what made it even more incredible was discovering that beneath his tough exterior, he could be sweet, loving, and surprisingly sensitive towards me. Of course, I couldn’t overlook the fact that he wasn’t exactly kind to others, but somehow, I liked that about him.
Lost in my thoughts, Monica interrupted, yearning for Darius’s presence. “What do you think he’s up to?” she asked, her voice tinged with longing I let out a sigh, sharing her sentiment.
“I don’t know, Monica,” I said, and it hit me deep in my heart because Monica felt it, too.
“I think I’m starting to develop feelings for him,” Monica confessed, and a grin spread across my face.
“We both are,” I reassured my inner self, feeling a sense of warmth.
“Do you believe in destiny?” She questioned, using a word that had lost its charm for me.

“Honestly, I don’t care anymore. If Darius turns out to be genuine and we end up together before he arrives, I’ll turn him down,” I confided in my inner self.
“Casey couldn’t do it, and he loved us,” She reminded me.
“Not enough, it seems. He didn’t want to show vulnerability. He acted like a jerk and only thought about himself,” I expressed my frustration.
“Do you think Darius will be different?” She inquired, knowing well that I couldn’t provide an answer. But she asked anyway because it bothered us both.
“Our feelings intertwine,” she acknowledged, and a chuckle escaped my lips.
“Do you think he’ll fall in love with us?” I queried, and she fell silent.
“I wonder if he’ll ever confess his love for us, or if this is all we’ll ever receive,” I pondered aloud to my inner self.
“I can’t wait to hear that heartless Dark Lord Alpha confess his love for us. It’s like a complete reversal from the stories we’ve heard,” she remarked.
As I lay in bed, I adjusted myself and curled up on my side, embracing his pillow.
“Let’s not get our hopes up too high, Monica. We’re still prisoners of war,

and he’s the Dark Lord Alpha. We should be grateful for whatever we receive,” I replied, grinning as I clung tightly to the pillow, which carried his intoxicating scent.
Engaged in our activities, sleep eventually overtook us.
Blissful delight surged within me, and for a moment, I believed it was all a dream. But when I opened my eyes, I found Darius nestled between my legs.
My mind was a bit foggy, and the intense pleasure he was bestowing upon me prevented my thoughts from settling. Unrestrained moans escaped my lips as I surrendered control of my body and succumbed to an explosive climax, awakening me fully with an insatiable longing for him.
He rose to meet my gaze, his lips glistening with my essence. He kissed me passionately, and I tasted myself on his lips.
“I couldn’t resist, Zora,” he whispered, his voice filled with longing, and I couldn’t help but embrace him and lock our lips in a passionate kiss.
“Good morning, my love,” he greeted me, his hands slowly removing my clothes, revealing the desire in his eyes.
He immersed himself in me, and I wished with all my heart that this wasn’t just a dream, that this moment was real and intense.
Taking charge, I flipped us over, eager to demonstrate my skill in taking control. I wanted to show him how I could ride the waves of pleasure.

He held onto my hips, guiding me with gentle precision, as if we were dancing to an intimate rhythm only we could hear.
Lost in my own world of ecstasy, we reached the peak of pleasure together, our bodies synchronized in a symphony of bliss.
As we lay side by side, he drew me close, his lips tenderly grazing my neck, leaving a trail of sweet sensations.
“I couldn’t resist, those captivating green eyes. You’ve become my addiction,” he confessed, and I couldn’t help but giggle, feeling a delightful flutter in my chest.
Glancing at the clock, I noticed it was already two in the morning. He must have stealthily sneaked out of his mother’s house just to be with me. It made me feel cherished, like I held a special place in his heart.
“Did you miss me?” he inquired, and I turned to meet his gaze. “Not at all,” I fibbed, playfully teasing him.
With a gentle peck on the tip of my nose, he chuckled, his eyes fixed on me with a serious intensity that caught me off guard.
“Don’t break my heart, Zora,” he implored, and my laughter faded, realizing the vulnerability beneath his words.
He tenderly stroked my hair, his gaze unwavering. “I will never let you go,” he declared with unwavering determination, pulling me close, enveloping me in his protective embrace, and together we drifted into peaceful slumber.
