The Cold Alpha's Second Chance Mate
Falling in love was never the deal, no, a simple vanilla relationship which only held worth in paper-that was the deal but when passions tug against chained desires mixed in a pot of intrigues and lies a heart cannot afford to be apathetic anymore but will the new found affections become a strength or a deadly flaw?
Ridiculed and bullied from birth for being worthless despite her alpha blood, Maya stone resolves to blend into the background and hide in the shadow of her beloved twin sister but her plan comes crashing down like a pack of cards when she and her sister were mated to the same man, believing he will definitely choose her sister over her she runs into the arms of the first handsome stranger she sees numbing her pain with pleasure for the night.
However, her first mate's jealousy makes him hesitate rejecting her; he strung her along and impregnated her before publicly rejecting her.Burdened with shame she runs away and accidentally crosses the border of a ruthless alpha territory, he turns out to be her one night stand he naturally assumes the baby in her womb is his and Maya's fear of abandonment forces her to keep silent about the true paternity of the child.
He offers her a one year contract. During this year, she would successfully deliver the children and nurse them for some months while pretending to be his mate for life, then leave with a satisfactory settlement, but how long can Maya keep her dark secret especially when her heart starts to fall?

Chapter: Chapter 17Chapter 17. Kylian's POV. “We need to talk, Maya,” I said, pushing the door open as she finally released her grip on the handle.She was a bit hesitant as I walked into the room before unleashing her question, her expression and tone radiating the anger that she was trying to keep hidden. I knew she wasn't happy, I knew there must be something going on in her mind. I couldn't decipher what the problem was exactly, and I couldn't read through her mind to know what was going up there. She had maintained a distance from me on our way, though I wanted her to stay close to me, not because I wanted to take that opportunity to spy on her thoughts, but because I couldn't control the feeling of wanting to have her around me and making sure she and the pup were in a good state. The doctor had warned us about her health and that of the pup, he specifically stated the need for her to stay out of stress, any form of stress to avoid getting the baby into danger. I knew I needed to protect the b

Chapter: Chapter 16Chapter 16.Kylian's POV. The strange princess I met during the mating ceremony never left my mind; she got stuck in my head and became part of my everyday dreams and thoughts. Her emerald eyes flash in my mind every second of the night, and sometimes in the day. The desire to have her again in my arms lingered in my head every time. She was not supposed to be messing with my head this way; she was not supposed to get stuck in there in my head. I was not ready for that; besides, what we had was just a pleasure, one that was meant to be enjoyed and lasted for that night alone. We only used our bodies to vent our desires and to pass out time, so why the heck was I feeling the whole attachment? I knew it was just daydreaming, a delusion. I called it because I didn't believe it would happen. I didn't get to know her; I don't even know her name, so how am I supposed to find her even if I start searching for her? Even when I made an attempt, it was futile because there was no logical ev

Chapter: Chapter 15Chapter 15.Maya's POV. Kylian helped me up from the bed after the doctor left before leaving for me to change into my clothes. I had asked him to leave earlier so I could change into the procedural gown; I was suddenly shy of changing in his presence even when I was fully aware that we'd had something intimate before now. I couldn't wrap my head around my reasons for the sudden shyness, perhaps it was normal, what we had at the first meeting was just a one-night thing, I wasn't used to him like I was to Barry, and I had to keep to my privacy to avoid fueling the unwanted feelings that were fighting it's way out of my heart to leap forward, it might end up being a disaster like the first.Though he deserves better than that scummy guy, Barry, I have to be cautious of my actions this time around, I can't trust him not to change and act like Barry, there is a possibility that it will happen, so I just have trade with caution and stick to the contract, I can't let myself get hurt the s

Chapter: Chapter 14Chapter 14.Maya's POV. Kylian was already waiting at the front of the mansion, his hazel eyes rested on me as he caught sight of me walking out of the building, consuming every of my being. A gaze of attraction, admiration, and satisfaction. The corners of his lips slightly twitched into a satisfactory smile, I could literally feel the unwavering admiration in his eyes under my skin.‘What's going on in his mind?’ I thought to myself as I wondered if I was actually looking that good to make the cold Alpha who had just taken advantage of my vulnerability and cut down my journey of motherhood to the space of one year. His smile was enough to melt an icy, making him look more innocent and kind, which I know very much that he was nothing close to. He only acted like one at the first time because of his intentions; it was all because of the pregnancy, because of my baby.Despite the fact that I already hated him for presenting the contract, I found some part of me clamoring for the dre

Chapter: Chapter 13Chapter 13.Maya's POV. I couldn't be mad at him because it wasn't entirely his fault; I needed help after all; I was the one who wanted a better life for my child. I had lied from the beginning of the event, and I couldn't take back my words, but at this point. Even if I did, it would only make things worse for me; where would I go if I decided to refute it? I'm basically homeless.I needed a shelter, a home, a means to survive, and there is no other place or means of getting that except this. I had to do what was needed to be done; I would only be regarded as a rogue if I should the four walls of this pack; I would be prone to so many bad things out there; it's dangerous, and I can easily get killed. I had to accept his offer; I had no other choice after all. “What's your take, Maya?” Kylian's voice echoed into my head, bringing me back to the deep thought that had taken over my being. “I will do it” I swallowed hard, raising my head to meet his gaze. “I will go with the contract

Chapter: Chapter 12Chapter 12.Maya's POV. “Did you get my question earlier, or were you telling a lie? You obviously know what happens to liars, so just stay clean with me, and I don't like repeating myself,” he smirked coldly, staring dead at me for a response. I already sense what could be going on in his mind; this man was certainly not the same cool-headed man I met at the mating ceremony, or does he get so quick at anger? He was just being so kind one minute and the next, he was already staring at me like a hungry facing his prey. I knew at that point that I had to act wisely to avoid getting myself into trouble. “Yes I am, I–I'm pregnant” I stuttered in fear as the words came out of my mouth, wondering why he was being inquisitive, what it was that he wanted with my pregnancy. I secretly prayed to the goddess to protect my child and me. His expression seemed to soften a bit at my answer as he continued with his interrogation, a bit gentle this time around.“Was it from the incident that took
