ZAYNI was still seething even when I drove my car to Alexei's school. I thought my wolf would be able to seek peace once I was on the road but it was futile to drive away the nasty thoughts in my heart. The fact that Maisie had deceived me all this time just to run away made me feel like a fool. How could she do this to me? She took advantage of my love and stabbed me in my heart once more. This was the third time she had betrayed me. The first time was that incident with Xavier and the second time was when she let Lincoln escape from me and now she had seduced me just to lower my guard and run away with her lover, Felix. Whenever I thought about that alpha, all I wanted to do was bash his head bloody and tear him apart with my damn claws. He might have been a lifesaver to my mate and son, but his constant interference kept grating on my nerves. After all, it was hard to know who was the person behind Gail's connection to my mate. It was clear that he was not going to stop until
MAISIEI paced back and forth anxiously, my mind racing as I waited for my husband and son to return. When I realized they were late, I frantically contacted his secretary and the school director, but both confirmed that Kodiak and Alexei had left the school and his office hours ago. My heart pounded with fear as I imagined all the worst possible scenarios. Initially, I thought that Zayn was bluffing about taking away my son, but I was no longer confident about my speculations.Zayn was very unpredictable and sometimes, he was petty and vengeful when he wanted. I suspected he was doing this to scare me and it was working very well. Tears of helplessness and frustration filled my eyes at the moment but when I just couldn't do it anymore, I shot to my feet to go look for them. At that momentZayn's behavior was incredibly unpredictable. There were times when he displayed pettiness and a vengeful streak that left me feeling on edge. I had a nagging feeling that he was purposefully trying
ZAYNThis woman was killing me. It was hard for me to summon a single thought in my head when she was grinding on my raging erection so slowly like she was using me for her pleasure instead of mine. Each kiss she planted on my skin made my skin burn. I did my best to adopt an impassive expression as I held her waist tightly, my fingernails digging into her skin. She cast me a doubtful look as she surveyed me, trying to see if I was affected by her body. “Are...you enjoying this?”My heart shattered and pieced together when I noticed the hesitant look in her eyes. From the first time I saw her, there wasn't a single moment I wanted Maisie to doubt herself and her value in front of me but the words in my heart just didn't seem to align with the thoughts I kept buried deep in my heart. “Oh, you are trying to seduce me?” I gave her an icy smirk and taunted, “I thought you were using me to get off since no one can pleasure you the way I do.”Her eyes fired up right after my words just l
ZAYNMy son cast us a nervous glance back and forth before he answered us, “If it's okay, I would like to get better before I have another sibling. So that I would be able to take care of it well.”“Alright, we will wait,” I gave him a reassuring smile to mask the tender emotions surging in my chest. My son's behavior reminded me of my younger brother who always saw the world's affairs so simply. After enjoying a meal together, I escorted my mate and son to their destinations before heading to the office. As I entered, my Beta, Xavier, greeted me with a serious look on his face. Despite his grim expression, he respectfully nodded in my direction. "There is something I have to discuss with you, Zayn," he said.I gestured for him to follow me into the office, and once the door closed behind us, he started, "My father has arranged a meeting with the alpha of the Warclaw pack to discuss my sister's mating ceremony. We hope for your cooperation in extending a warm welcome to him.""Of cou
The shopping assistant guided Zayn to a plush couch outside the fitting room, I walked into the fitting room to try out the wedding dresses that I had picked earlier. The room was quite big. It had a bench as well as two full-length mirrors, one at the door and one at the back wall. My heart was racing with anticipation at the thought of seeing my mate's face after I showed him those dresses. My makeup and hair were already done in a nearby section of the shop so all I had to do was put on those dresses to wow his mind out. The first dress I had the pleasure of trying on was a stunning mermaid style. It beautifully embraced every curve, accentuating all the right places. The sweetheart neckline elegantly highlighted my collarbones, while the flowing train cascaded behind her like a graceful river of smooth silk.I cast a nervous sigh before I passed through the lace curtains to present myself. Zayn's disinterested eyes instantly widened when they landed on me. “You look stunning,”
ZAYNIt wasn't hard to please Maisie at all. As I kissed my way up her legs, worshipping her flesh with my lips, making her twist restlessly under my touch. I felt the heat radiating from her as her wetness welcomed my fingers. When my mouth replaced my fingers, I sucked and licked with slow, delicate movements, tasting her like she was my dessert of the day. Perhaps, it was because she was made just for me but I also knew instinctively what made me tick so soon, she was practically moaning and writhing against me. I could still hear the female voices outside the fitting room so I pulled back and warned her with a finger to my wet lips. When I noticed that Maisie had practically melted against the full-length mirror, I guided her to the bench to sit while I took care of her. The room was charged with sexual energy as we locked gazes, while I guided her legs on her shoulders. Maisie whimpered when my breath brushed her sensitive clit. A small grin graced my lips when I saw the expec
ZAYNI decided to follow the lone wolf into the quiet forest, leaving behind the populated areas of my pack. The sunlight peeked through the leafy canopy, creating a beautiful pattern of light and shadow on the forest floor beneath my feet. The scent of moist earth filled my nostrils as I made my way through the tangle of trees. As I delved deeper into the woods, the foliage became denser, with ferns gently caressing my legs until I reached the heart of the forest. There, I encountered a woman embracing a specific tree like her life depended on it, while a pack of wolves encircled the tree's base.When she finally spotted me from a distance, she immediately pleaded, "Hely! Please save me!"My eyes squinted as I took in her appearance. She was not what I was expecting as a prostitute from the Red District. Her short, lustrous dark-brown hair elegantly framed her face, enhancing the beauty of the freckles that scattered across her flawless, radiant skin. Her cute, pouty lips added an en
MAISIEWhen I finally returned to the children's nursery, I was a bit annoyed that Zayn had ditched me outside the wedding boutique. He obviously didn't notice that I had seen the wolf waiting for him at the corner of the street and that the fact that he still wasn't willing to share all his secrets with me hurt a bit.The first time I discovered his ability was one night after sex when he suddenly got up from bed. I still remember sensing an unknown force brushing across our mate bond and then he left the house so I followed him down to the forest. It was a wonderful sight watching him converse with such animals as his little siblings. Each one clearly had a great affinity with him and they seemed to respect him as his alpha. But that was not the only secret that he had been keeping from me. It wasn't until the incident at the hotel room five years ago that I found out that he had a savage wolf, not a rogue one. The very knowledge filled my heart with cold fear that night and to be
ZAYN As the sun descended the horizon, the garden was enveloped in a golden glow, casting a warm and enchanting aura around us. We found ourselves standing beneath a beautifully adorned gazebo, its delicate white flowers and twinkling fairy lights creating a magical scene. The tall oak trees surrounding the area rustled softly in the gentle breeze, adding a soothing and melodic whisper to the tranquil atmosphere.My wife looked absolutely radiant in her flowing green dress, perfectly complementing her emerald eyes. I gently tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear as she ran her hands over my crisp navy suit, exchanging joyful smiles with each other.As we exchanged the rings, I said my vows to her with sincerity. “The truth is I have never believed the moon goddess existed from the day I was born.” I lowered my gaze as I heard certain murmurs among the crowd of people gathered for the special occasion. “I mean, I had heard stories about her but I refused to acknowledge her existe
MAISIE We sprinted through the dense forest, desperately following Zayn's fading scent as it lingered in the air. Despite the mounting exhaustion and pain throbbing through my body, I was resolute in my determination to reunite with Zayn.Upon reaching our destination, Zayn gently guided me out of our haste and into the weathered stone building. Pausing for a moment, he looked into my eyes and said, "We need to trust him, Maisie. This is where we wait.""I know," I murmured hoarsely, my gaze fixated on the thick fog encircling the temple ahead of us. I immediately opened the mate bond between us, only to discover that it was blocked by my mate from the other end. Fuck. Zayn had likely decided to shield our mate bond from the pain, but I couldn't find appreciation for his considerate action in this instance. Waiting for him in that state felt like an unbearable torment had materialized on Earth, but I held onto the hope that he would emerge soon.That hope shattered when the bond ab
MAISIEXavier's eyes widened in terror when he discovered that Zayn was standing right behind him. He instantly turned around, swinging his fist at his opponent, but Zayn shifted to the side to avoid it before planting another punch in his stomach. Xavier immediately doubled over holding his stomach as blood gushed right from his mouth. Another man suddenly appeared from behind my husband, causing my eyes to widen. I warned my mate, “Zayn, watch out!”As soon as the man tried to sneak up on my mate, Zayn ducked down onto the ground and swiped his right leg in a circular motion, hitting the man's limbs. The man instantly lost his footing and fell to the ground, allowing Zayn to land several punches on the man until he finally went unconscious. The sight motivated me to resume cutting the rough, tight ropes that dug into my wrists. Although my heart had calmed down slightly, I was still worried that more of Xavier's men could come so I wanted to help watch my husband's back while he f
MAISIEThe air suddenly became heavy, causing Xavier's smile to vanish as his gaze wandered from mine to the man beside me. It was then I realized that everyone in the room seemed affected by his wolf's dominance, except me. The guards had already crouched in pain while Felix and Xavier tried their best to resist him. However, it was not entirely possible. Despite his injury, his wolf seemed to have more than enough strength to show his commanding aura. His red orbs glowed eerily in the dark and the sight of the dried blood at the corner of his lips only seemed to make him more frightening than ever. With slow and deliberate movements, he turned to Xavier, “You dare to hurt my woman?”Xavier clamped down on his lower lip, the pressure evident in the tightening of his jaw. His hands gradually came to a standstill in the tangled mess of my hair. I saw fear dance in his eyes for several seconds but despite this, he still challenged, “So what if I did? What the hell are you going to do?
MAISIEDuring the moments of my capture, I drifted in and out of consciousness. It was a result of the relentless agony caused by my inner wolf and the unbearable pain coursing through my body. My skin felt like it was burning, and I was acutely aware of the fever that had taken hold of me, pushing me to the brink of death. I didn't need a healer's diagnosis to know that whatever Xavier had shot me with contained a trace of silver, a substance that was very lethal to wolves. That meant I had very little time left. When I finally woke up again, I discovered that I was being carried by someone into a dark place. The air was stale with sweat, blood, and death. I forced myself to remain still so I could fool my capturers and escape but I knew it was only a matter of time before they would try to take my life again. If they weren't doing it now, it only meant that Xavier had plans for me and I guessed it had something to do with luring Zayn out. It felt like an eternity waiting for the
MAISIEThe air between us was thick with tension as we faced each other one last time. Odette assumed a defensive position, her dark attire mirroring my own. A tightly braided ponytail of blonde hair rested on the side of her neck, and her intense gaze bore into mine with unwavering determination.Our movements were slow and deliberate as we circled each other, each waiting for the other to make the first move and attack. I tried my best to remain calm even when I could hear my heart beating wildly in my chest. There was no need for me to feel scared since I was sure I dispatched everyone who had come with her. It was just the two of us now, and I wasn't going to rest until I made her suffer for all the things she had done to me and my loved ones.Odessa drew out her claws and lunged at me, meeting me for a series of punches and kicks. The wood underneath us creaked from the weight as we exchanged blows, each strike precise and powerful. Odessa's moves were filled with experience as
MAISIEMy heart raced as I lay in bed, trying to shake off the adrenaline from my encounter with the wolf, but sleep eluded me. Despite the fatigue weighing down my body, my mind raced with thoughts and fears, keeping me wide awake. I ate and took a long, relaxing shower to wash away the grimness of the arduous day but I couldn't stop thinking about my fight with Odette. Finally, I decided to take a walk to clear my head. As I put on my clothes and stepped out of my room, an eerie feeling crept over me, and I couldn't shake the sensation that something was amiss.Each step I took seemed to amplify the silence around me, and I could hear the thudding of my own heart as I cautiously made my way to the living room. My senses were heightened in the darkness, and every tiny sound made me jump. Navigating the room, I felt a surge of fear, my eyes struggling to adjust to the deep shadows that enveloped me.It wasn't until I safely arrived that I finally released a soft breath of relief. I th
MAISIEAfter my conversation with Madam Aurora, we left her office and encountered a group of women scurrying back to their positions as if they hadn't been eavesdropping on us. I couldn't help but notice a flicker of irritation on Aurora's face, but she calmly strode past them and instructed her secretary."I need you to arrange a private room upstairs for this woman and ensure that she gets some food," she said. As I cleared my throat, she turned slightly and added, "And make certain that nobody is aware of her presence or disturbs her in any way. Anyone who goes against my instructions will be immediately thrown out of this establishment. Is that clear?"The ladies who were pretending to be busy suddenly dropped their important work and chorused meekly, “Yes, Madame!”“Good,” The woman wore her glasses before she walked away, leaving me behind with her secretary as she climbed down the stairs. I knew she would try to even the score with me one day but since today was not it, I deci
MAISIE After she summoned me to her office, I found her observing me intently, so I met her gaze without hesitation. As time ticked by, I held my head high, taking in the subtle sound of her manicured nails tapping the wooden table. The Madam was undeniably beautiful, with fair skin and a toned physique earned through rigorous exercise. Her sleek bun and fashionable attire complemented her blonde locks, adding to her allure."Tell me, what brings the Luna of the pack to grace me with her presence?" Aurora inquired, her eyes fixed on me. "Is your mate still among the living? Where is he?""You need not concern yourself with my partner. We will handle this matter ourselves," I replied, leaning back in my chair and intertwining my fingers. I knew that the woman before me operated based on profit, but I needed to ensure she wouldn't cross me as she had my mother.The woman rose from her seat and stood by the window, deep in contemplation, careful not to misstep in this delicate situation
