MAEVEIt wasn’t Kath’s business to know what relationship I had with Xander, so I didn’t answer her question. “I’m going to pick a room, and you’re going to arrange it immediately,” I tried to change the topic as I headed down the hallway. Kath followed behind me, still blabbing.She seemed like one of those busybodies who always wanted to nose into people’s affairs just because it was a habit, and I didn’t want to ever meet such people. They turn around and stab you in the back.“Do you think I’m not attractive enough?” Kath asked again, her tone becoming sharper and more alarming. “I’ve been working here almost all my life and I’ve dedicated everything to my work. Yet, the boss doesn’t even seem to notice me. Then you come along, and he starts treating you like a wife.”Now I get it—jealousy. Had she actually tried to seduce Xander? At the thought of that, anger flared in my chest.“Even when it’s clear you’re not prettier than I am. I didn’t know he was into chubby women with flesh

THAYERI can’t believe I imagined having my own mother in bed! I was too shocked to even react to what I’d thought earlier. But seeing her right now, in my house after fifteen years, was the most unbelievable event.“May I?” she asked, signaling that she wanted to come in. I stepped aside and let her in. She entered and stood face to face with Loretta, who was still in her underwear, not even willing to leave!Mum turned to me, disbelief clearly etched on her face. “You know, I never would have thought that you would think of playing around now that you are about to lose everything.”Losing everything? I knew she was referring to Loretta. However, I was both angry and excited to see her now. She turned back to Loretta, and I could feel her expression must have changed, given the way Loretta shook.“Who the hell is she? She’s the one you want to replace me with?” Loretta blurted. Hadn’t she heard me call her 'Mum,' or was she intentionally poking at me now? “Thayer, I told you I wasn’t

MAEVE “Look, Maeve, I don’t want it to seem like I’m forcing you to do my bidding,” Xander explained as he steered the car down the road. “Are you sure about this?”Sure about what? I turned to him. “Yes, I’m sure. No one is forcing me to do anything. Besides, I’m not doing it for Thayer; I’m doing it for myself. Someone has to teach him a lesson and it has to be me,” I answered, starting to bite my fingernails. It was something I usually did whenever I was tense. This time, I was especially tense about being my father-in-law’s fiancée.For someone like him, a public figure in Chicago, what would people see me as? A gold digger? A thief? This might bring more humiliation and hatred from people all over the world.“What’s wrong? Are you okay?” Xander suddenly asked; he must have noticed my anxiety.“No, I’m fine. It’s nothing.” I looked out the window, hoping this wouldn’t bring in more trouble.The car pulled up in front of Xander’s mansion. I would never have dreamed that I would ge

THAYERI couldn’t believe my father would want to settle with my ex-wife! I had always thought of him as great, looking up to him. But after he chose to marry my ex-wife, I realized he was nothing after all. Even after my mother left us fifteen years ago, he made no attempt to look for her. I was sure that if he had, my mother would have been here with us. Instead, to save face, he told me they were divorced when I actually knew he sent her packing!Why would my father marry a chubby, smelly piece of shit like Maeve? The thought infuriated me beyond words. Not only that, he succeeded in giving Maeve the right to talk back to me and even slap me! The nerve! She’s in for trouble—real trouble. I wanted to choke her to death, but father had to burst in before I could!Have you even seen her? She’s disgusting! She pales in comparison to my mother, which is the main reason I don’t understand what my father sees in her.I heard my friends, Jake and Leon, chuckle behind me as I watched my fat

MAEVEI was not expecting Xander’s reaction to Thayer’s insults just now, but his apology afterward was something I didn’t want to hear. I know he did it to make me feel better, but now I feel worse.Just a few minutes ago, I actually thought he had a thing for me, but he was really doing it for his son. I didn’t want to think about it too much, so I demanded to be left alone. I needed to think things through. Hot tears raced down my cheeks as I considered what would be best to do in this situation.I wanted to disappear and never see Thayer again, but I had nowhere to go. My parents were both dead, I didn’t want to face the insults of my step-sister and stepmother, and I didn’t want to get anywhere near crowded places. I just wanted to be locked up somewhere in this house, away from the eyes of the whole world.It was painful to come to this decision, but I decided to play along with Xander’s plan. I needed to teach Thayer a lesson, and to do that, I was going to become his stepmothe

XANDERI had blurted out those words before I even processed them. The idea had been to think this through with Maeve and know if it would sit right with her, but seeing Thayer talk down on her, and hurt her like that, I couldn’t think straight anymore.She was incredibly beautiful. Her red hair perfectly matched her sea-green eyes, and her skin was glossy. Every part of her facial features were perfectly placed to enhance her full cheeks. From the few months I’d known her as my daughter-in-law, I’d gotten to know how kind and soft-hearted she was in contrast to my son, Thayer.The night I picked her, she looked a bit unkempt, with her hair in a mess, old clothes, and shoes. It was obvious Thayer was not taking proper care of her. All she needed was a little support to take care of herself, something Thayer was capable of providing yet didn’t.Watching her cry on my chest last night broke my heart and made my throat dry. She must have gone through a lot, and I just couldn’t believe m

Neil's POV It had been almost a week and I had been mourning him, loathing myself for his demise. I felt empty, weak, and powerless as he was cremated six feet into the ground. I would bear this scar, this burden all my life, as the one who killed his brother. I couldn’t accept any other truth, knowing this would not have happened if I had paid attention to what my mother said a few weeks ago about my brother's disappearance. I should have gone in search of him; maybe I could have saved him earlier. But now, there seemed to be more to this than just losing him to the monster I was yet to understand. A monster that operated with shadows and was as dangerous as hell, capable of possessing the soul of a werewolf. I had to dig into this. Who were the 'they' that were coming? And why do they want to wipe out all werewolves? His voice echoed in my mind. A thin line of tears rushed down my face as I stared at his grave. Every werewolf in the Castros pack had come to pay their last respe

Neil's POV "Scythe!!!" I screamed in fury with everything in me. The hairs on my body rose in anger. My blood boiled, and the only way to stop this was to take Scythe down and make him pay for everything he put the werewolves of Castros pack through. "Scythe!!" I roared again. Heira paced angrily within me, and I knew any moment now, he would push out. The air suddenly went still, and an ominous silence fell among the ruins of the pack. Cold air rushed in from all sides, and strange shadows began to take shape around me. Scythe's power had increased since the last time. More larger and thicker lumps of shadow penetrated the air now, cloning themselves... more than one Scythe stood before me, ready to attack. "You called me." His voice was unusually deep and menacing, resonating like thunder in the environment. But I cared less; he could display an array of powers as much as he wanted, but he was going down today. With gritted teeth, I pounced forward on both feet, claws pointed at

Neil's POV One blissful, amazing night with my mate had left us both curled into each other's arms. Her head rested on my chest while she slept. She was my mate, my Luna with a wolf spirit—a healer. Not only was she a werewolf now, but she was also a healer. In that moment, I wished I had turned her earlier; Cole wouldn’t have had to endure all of those struggles in Europe to save me from silver. I felt proud of her. She had awakened her wolf successfully after one bite, which was very rare, and she had been blessed by the moon with such a unique power. I suspected that was just the tip of the power of blue wolves. As I lost myself in thoughts about what it would feel like to finally present my mate to the Castros pack, a voice suddenly screamed into my head through the mind-link. "Alpha! Where are you? The pack is in chaos!" It was my beta, Damien. "What’s wrong? What’s happening?" "It’s the shadow assassin! The pack members are disbanding in fear. So many werewolves have been k

Amelia's POV She was very focused and carefully navigated the woods as if she had been there before. Also, she was very fast; I could tell by the amount of wind brushing past her fur. Neil was behind us... wait, not Neil. It was his wolf! I chuckled in excitement. It was getting interesting. 'Lydia is beautiful', I heard Neil in my head as our wolves sprinted through the undergrowth. 'She's charming and very interesting. I love her already', I replied as I laughed. We were beating Neil and his wolf in the race. They couldn't keep up with us; Lydia was extremely fast. 'And she's unusually fast! Damn! Heira is struggling to match her speed!' Neil complained, and I took pride in that. I heard his wolf purr as he increased his speed. 'Catch me if you can,' Lydia screamed in excitement. We pounced ahead. But Lydia suddenly paused and turned to Heira. 'Okay, I think we have arrived at the end of the game.' I stretched my eyes and saw it was a dead end—a cliff. Heira swiftly transfor

Amelia's POV My whole body quaked even while Neil was licking the wound. His hot tongue flapped the bite marks, but that didn't stop the storm I felt within. He pulled away and looked into my face. I thought he was going to let go because he didn't know when my wolf would arrive, but instead, his lips found mine. My lips quivered in his mouth as he kissed me, lips first until our tongues almost set on fire. I could feel my thigh getting slicker as our mouths continued dancing together. Yet, my whole body was on fire; starting from the mark Neil had just placed on my neck to the very pit of my stomach. I began to feel so strange, so alien to my body. I gasped into Neil's mouth while he kissed me because the pains were almost choking me, but Neil's powerful arms held me steadily against his chest as he tried to ease the pains. My fingers dug into his back as it felt as if I could merge with his body. The pains throbbed in my head and pounded in my chest, as if my body would explode an

Amelia's POVI know my name is Amelia. I remember that face; the face I wake up with every morning, right on my mind. I remember his name; he is Neil Morreti. All the memories we ever shared all rushed into my mind; including the sex in the pool at Arkans. I remember he had saved me but I can't remember what happened that he needed to save me in Arkans. I remember that monster, Logan; he cut off my pinky and promised he would send it to Neil, which he did.One distinct thing I also remember is that Neil is not an ordinary human. He has a wolf; a dark haired wolf that is so strong.I couldn't stop myself from imagining what it felt like having a wolf that you could call on, even when you are in danger. I would speak to her, hear her thoughts and opinions and not a soul will know what we are discussing. I would make her my gist mate. I would smell things from afar, hear any little sound like I wish to, become terribly fast and my punch will be strong enough to break enough bones.That f
