Chapter 55
Darius‘ POV
“I’m glad to meet you, Vino,” Zora responded.
Somehow, I felt that her voice was sounding so sweet yet sensual that it eventually made me cough. The woman just laughed when she heard my cough. Well, I couldn’t help but be jealous. This was just how I was.
“Anyway, I’m holding a dinner party at my mansion in Woodcreek next week. I’d like both you and Lady Zora to attend my dinner party. Also, both Beta Marcel and Gamma Raphael will be welcomed as well. Like you, they can come with their date,” Vino said as he looked at me pleadingly as if he really wished for me to come there.
Clearly, this man had been trying extremely hard to be friends. I believed that it would be merciless if I refused his invitation. Eventually, I nodded my head as a response.
“I’m sure both my Luna and I will find time in our schedule to attend your dinner party,” I told him, making the man smile as he nodded back at me.
“Thank you so much, Your Eminence. It’s truly an honor for me,” he responded, which made me smile and nod my head in return.
Vino then walked away from both Zora and me happily. Then, Zora elbowed me softly.
“Someone’s got a new fan,” she remarked teasingly as I linked her hand in mine gently.

We then quickly left the place as we went back to the Hand Estate. Since my mother would move in the very next day, Zora worked her ass off to make sure that both my mother and my brother’s room were prepared perfectly. Not only that, my beautiful Luna had also assigned some staff to my mother and my brother. It seemed that this felt like an instinct for her. I knew it was because she had been a Luna since she was 19 years old. After all, she had run the east region as a Luna for five years. Thus, it came from her naturally.
Her former Luna friends also aided her, so Zora didn’t feel burdened too much. Eventually, my Luna returned to my office sometimes in the evening. She looked pretty tired.
“A hectic day, huh?” I asked her, which she responded by letting out a soft smile as she laid on the couch in my office.
As soon as Zora laid on the couch, I left my table as I sat on the couch with her. Then, I asked the woman to lie down even more so that I could massage her feed. I realized very well that she stood throughout the entire process of making everything perfect for my mother and my brother’s arrival. This made me sure that her feet were obviously hurting. Besides, it felt nice doing this for Zora after what she did. While I pressed her feet, the beautiful woman grunted in acceptance.
“Yeah, right there,” she told me as she leaned on the couch even more relaxed than before.
Her approving moan made me do other things to her, somehow. I continued to work on her feet.
“Anyway, is that how they disagreed with you at the council?” the woman asked me as she groaned in between.
“Yeah, Larry and Abel protested about my stance. As for Vino, he

just wanted to befriend me desperately. Meanwhile, the others were too afraid of stating their opinions,” I replied to her, making her laugh.
“Well, they tended to get scared of you with how you used your Alpha voice. You’re making it too scary for them,” she retorted that made me pet her feet which she responded with laughing.
After that, I picked her other foot to be massaged and started to rub it gently.
“You know, the regions where me and my friends lived before used to tell us frightening things about you when you replaced your father,” Zora said as she closed her eyes, seemingly half–asleep.
“They told us that you were a barbaric monster. Sometimes, she- wolves would tell their pups frightening tales about the Dark Lord Alpha from the north. They told us that you drank wine with skulls and things like that. That’s why people are afraid of you. So, there’s this slight hope that you may bleed like the rest of us when we heard that Hardy defeated your army,” she continued while she was chuckling hard.
“If only they knew that it was Abel whom they defeated, but not you,” the she-wolf kept talking before she laughed, looking proud of me.
“After that, you conquered what was left of the west. At the time, people started to get scared that you would come to the east as well,” she said quietly as she stopped smiling like before.
“On the day of the meeting, I already cautioned them to not upset you. Not only that, I also alerted them to not team up with the south to go against you because I realized that you would only act when you were provoked based on the stories that I had heard. Still, they refused to listen to me,” Zora still continued her story as

she gazed at me with her sleepy eyes.
“Never have I ever thought that you’ll turn out to be a very caring man. You were the man that could make my heart beat in such ways that only I can think of it. You were the man who was able to see my soul and got it. You were the man who healed my wounds and dried my tears up. You were the man who would reignite the fire in my heart after the heartbreak and betrayal put the fire of my heart out. You were the man who would give me another chance to try it all again. Never in my wildest dreams that I could ever think that you would mean this much to me and I would eventually end up being in your arms. Not once did I ever think of it, Darius. Yet, here I am. I’m completely yours, both body and soul,” she lengthily confessed her heart out to me as her eyes were now foggy with
tears.
Initially, I thought that I was the only one who loved her deeply. Surprisingly for me, it turned out that my mate loved me as well. By now, I certainly didn’t have to ask how deep her love for me was. Obviously, it was that deep that she wanted to spend the rest of our lives together by my side.
“I really love you, Darius. I totally love you with all of my heart, body, and soul. Today, you did something for me that I had never thought of. You defended me for our love. I’ll never forget how you cursed the entire council and respected me as your Luna. Although they definitely tried to make me seem useless, you defended my value and dignity. I’ll never forget how strong and sincere your love is, Darius. I’ll always remember what happened before with the council in my heart. I’ll always do my best to forgive your flaws. Truthfully, love can’t be given as much as yours in regard to your humility and truthfulness,” she continued, which made my heart start to beat faster than ever.
At first, I thought that what I had with Shannon was strong and

true. I realized that it was nothing but a joke compared to this. When I saw how Zora poured her heart out with what she said as I rubbed her feet gently made me realize that I had made the right call. It seemed to me that everything that went wrong in our lives had made us together for this particular goal so that both Zora and I could feel true love in its clearest form. The only thing I could do was to kiss her feet as I promised to her that I would never hurt her. Also, it was the time for me to burn Shannon’s letter that I had.
