MAISIE“Zayn, I swear I am telling you the truth!” The chilly night wind blew across the curtains near the open windows, causing goosebumps on my skin so I grabbed the tattered remains of my clothing to keep warm. I hated the way I looked at the moment, pitifully staring at my mate with a tear-stained face. The entire room was a mess, enshrouded in darkness that agitated my inner wolf. The furniture was overturned and broken, while the shattered lights were a testament to the chaos that had happened a few minutes after we returned home.But what scared me the most was the look my mate gave me when he turned to me. His handsome face was covered in a mask of icy fury, something I had seen directed at his enemies many times. Trust me, no one had ever survived such an encounter before. “I will ask you one last time, Maisie.” Zayn’s dangerous growl reached my ears, making me flinch when he closed the distance between us. He grabbed my arm roughly and pulled me upright to face him. “What
ZAYNFive years later…I sat down in my office handling the documents sent to me with practiced efficiency, penning my signature across the papers. As the alpha of the Frost Fang pack, it would have been more practical to delegate some of these menial tasks to my Beta, Xavier. But the unshakeable trust I once had in that man was now gone. Before the tendrils of my dark past could go any further, my mind was awakened by the sound of a loud sneeze reverberating across the room. My twin raised his hands when he caught my scathing look. He grinned impishly. “Sorry, I just couldn't hold in any longer. It's just seven in the morning, and you look ready to murder someone.”“Kodiak,” I tried to ignore him, but somehow his words got under my skin like they always did. “You know you can always return to your pack if you want to. I'm sure Anna and the baby will be more than pleased to accommodate your troublesome presence.”“I already called her this morning,” Kodiak didn't even try to hide hi
MAISIEOh.My.God.My heart thundered in my chest when I saw my worst nightmare standing in front of me, looking so surreal that I feared that I might pass out at any moment. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw him. Zayn Cardinal was here, and he was definitely not happy to see me. I tried to avoid any direct eye contact with him, especially when his handsome face was covered with a layer of frost, enough to freeze a city. He wore a light blue fur jacket that covered the black clothing underneath, looking like heaven and sin mixed in one person. His silver-white hair was now shorter than I remembered, leaving some long bangs to the front to cover his sharp eyebrows.His icy blue eyes landed on me for a second, and then I felt it. Pure unadulterated rage slipped through the iron-clad door he shut on our mating bond, making my face go deathly pale. I felt my grip around my champagne glass loosen, spilling the contents on the Persian rug my husband had just acquired last week. The so
ZAYN After my confession, I sat rigidly in my chair, staring at Lincoln who was seated beside my mate, Maisie. The atmosphere in the room was now strained as he read the clauses I had just corrected on the proposal he had just presented to me in silence. My bad mood worsened as time passed by, every time I saw him touch my mate. My fists clenched so tightly that my nails dug into my palms, trying to rein in some control over my belligerent wolf who was just seconds away from lashing at the man on the spot. But I was no fool. I could see the calculating glint in the Moon Stone alpha's eyes anytime he initiated intimate contact with his wife. Lincoln was definitely looking for an advantage, something to rattle me during this negotiation but that wasn't going to happen. Because I wasn't the type of man who let others control my weaknesses.No, I was the predator that everyone feared.Maisie looked uncomfortable by her husband's advances but she soldiered on, playing the role of a demu
MAISIEThe morning sunlight cast a warm glow on the breakfast table through the glass windows as I watched Lincoln exit the house for his routine run with the pack. As soon as I heard the sound of the door clicking shut, I hurried to my room leaving the maids to clean the table. It was the weekend, which made it the perfect time for me to execute my plan of escaping the Moon Stone pack. I had spent the entire week playing the role of the perfect wife, hiding my true intentions from my husband and the guards who monitored my every move.After Zayn had visited our home that day, I suddenly realized that Lincoln had begun to even doubt Alexei's paternity. That was a very dangerous suspicion, one that I knew could lead to me and my child's death if the truth was ever discovered. When I suddenly returned with Alexei that day, I had already made up her mind. There was no way I could let Zayn find out the truth about Alexei, which meant that I had to leave the pack before that happened.
MAISIE"Let go of my son, Zayn." A warning growl pulsated in my throat as I gritted my teeth harshly, letting my eyes go wolf. I ignored my trembling arms and stubbornly gripped my gun tightly, letting my finger curl around the trigger. My wolf's maternal instincts overpowered her sense of hesitance and pain which gave me the courage to stand firm on the promise I had made many years ago.I would rather kill my mate than let him lay a single finger on my precious son."Do you really think you will be able to kill me, Maisie?" Zayn's conceited smirk had vanished long ago, leaving a dangerous and ruthless gaze that invoked a feeling of cold fear in me. "We both know that I can easily snap your feeble neck before you even pull that trigger."I tried not to let his words get to me, but we both knew he was right this time. Zayn Cardinal was the strongest wolf in the entire Great Landmark, the most powerful alpha among the four major packs. No one had been able to defeat him since the day h
MAISIEWhen my husband finally arrived, his previously guarded eyes widened in shock when he stepped into our house. He took in the chaotic scene of the living room before he cursed under his breath, lowering his gun when he saw me. “Jesus, Maisie. What happened here?!”I willed all my strength to produce more tears as I approached him, my legs unsteady, and collapsed into his arms. "Lincoln, the guards..."At that moment, I could not help but imagine how dismayed my husband must have felt when he saw the state of the living room. It was a complete mess - cushions strewn across the floor, the dining table overturned, its legs pointing accusingly at the ceiling. Picture frames lay face down, glass shattered. But I knew I had yet to complete the climax of my acting. “They killed all the guards, Lincoln.” I lifted my head from his embrace, spotting the arrival of some male pack mates who undoubtedly detected the metallic stench of blood diffused in the air. “I don't know who they are, b
MAISIE“There was nothing else suspicious about him!” The frustration in my heart rose to a whole new level, causing me to move away from him until my back touched the wall. “After several complaints from the pack elders, Lincoln finally decided to use some of the money to build another orphanage and rewarded ten scholarships to the orphans.”My mind clicked immediately when I said those words. Lincoln was never a generous person and he despised children. Those things were not the only things I had noticed when I saw those documents so I asked Zayn, “Do you have the list of those missing children? Can I see them?”“Here they are.” Zayn tried to give me the paper but I simply stared at the table near us until he got the message. I knew what he was doing, trying to use his wolf to calm my own but the last thing I wanted was to be near him after what he did.I grabbed the papers from the table, reviewing the list with a frown. “The kids on the list are all safe, Zayn. None of them were t
