Reuniting With His Back-Stabbing Mate.

Five 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 his smirk as he mimicked my signature on a document. “I still miss her like crazy, but I know you wouldn't call me to help you if you didn't really need it.” Deep down, I suppressed the urge to roll my eyes at my brother's lovestruck expression. No matter how much Kodiak adored his mate, I still didn't trust that woman not to run away from her rogue mate. But I liked the fact that she kept my brother happy and content. That would be enough for now. “I am heading to the Moon Stone pack this evening.” It was rare for me to explain my actions to anyone, but I would always make an exception for my younger brother. “I have received an anonymous message from the pack about some missing children there.” Kodiak, the alpha of the Dark Edge pack tensed when he heard my words. “How bad is it?” “I'm not sure yet.” I could feel my wolf clawing my insides with bloodthirsty anger and impatience. It might not understand many things about the human world, but it knew that children were not meant to be harmed. Children were sacred. “But I am going to find out and make those bastards pay for this.” Kodiak released a feral smile and asked, “How long do you need me to cover for you?” “Long enough for the pack elders not to notice my absence.” I rose from my seat and pulled Kodiak into a bear hug. “Thank you.” The touch from family was an anchor to my raging emotions because I needed that restraint for the mission I was embarking on. It was almost nine in the night when I finally arrived in the Moon Stone pack. Since this was a simple business visit, I decided to take only my bodyguard and some men but I was beginning to regret my decision. When we reached the alpha's house, Micah put a hand on my arm to stop me from coming out of the car. “Let me check the parameter first.” I bit back a low growl from my throat as the other men stepped to check the surroundings before I came out to greet the people waiting for me outside the house. All their eyes were on me as I walked to the man whom I knew was the alpha of the pack. “Mr Cardinal,” The man dressed in a light yellow cashmere greeted me with a warm smile, offering a handshake. “Welcome to the Moon Stone pack. I am Lincoln Tolliver, their alpha.” “Nice to meet you, Lincoln.” I took his hand in a firm grip, testing the strength of his dominance as our eyes met. He was the only one who was able to hold my stare for the longest time. The rest of them snuck glances at me but I could already interpret the meaning behind their gazes. All the men feared me but the women...just wanted to fuck me. “The weather is too cold,” The Moon Stone alpha remarked, although he showed no discomfort towards the chilly wind and tiny snowflakes falling on our clothes. He gestured towards his house, “Please come in.” As I entered the house, I was struck by the grand, luxurious paintings adorning the walls and the gleaming, polished floor beneath my feet. The entire room was bathed in the soft, warm light of a crystal chandelier, which highlighted the modern and sophisticated decor. My eyes narrowed at the opulent lifestyle Lincoln had, a stark contrast from the report I had received a few days ago. Amidst my thoughts, I faintly heard him calling out to someone, but his words were lost until a woman stepped into my view. “Maisie?” Lincoln's eyes narrowed in suspicion when he heard my breathless whisper, but he laughed it off the next second and pulled her close to him. “This is my wife, Maisie Henderson. Maisie, meet Zayn Cardinal, the alpha of the Frost Fang pack.” My eyes scanned the gorgeous woman standing before me. Her petite figure was clothed in an orange sweater and jeans similar to her husband's attire, hugging her curves in all the right places. Her glossy black hair cascaded down her back and her emerald eyes widened in surprise as she took in my presence. “Nice to meet you, Mr. Cardinal.” Maisie's voice quivered for a moment before Lincoln wrapped his hands around her waist. My wolf released a savage snarl when he saw it, pained and enraged by the sight before us. My mate had remarried another man. She was now sleeping in another man's bed and letting him touch her, giving him intimate skin privileges. That was an unforgivable sin, the worst of its kind. I managed to calm my wolf with the promise of a sweet revenge. She had betrayed us for the second time, but now it was time to make her pay for her transgression. A cordial smile appeared on my lips as I responded to her soft greeting. “The pleasure is mine, Maisie.”

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
ALPHA ZAYN'S DISTRUST Zayn Plans To Deal With His Mate.
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
ALPHA ZAYN'S DISTRUST Maisie's Secret Is Finally Exposed.
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

ZAYNAfter Maisie exited the room, a sense of calm finally settled upon my wolf which gave me enough space to think clearly. My wolf's fierce anger towards our mate had been consuming me since I discovered the existence of my son. I could understand Maisie's fear for her life, considering I had threatened her, but how could she think I would harm our son?I couldn't help but mentally run the list of her wrongdoings in my mind, and it only served to infuriate my wolf even more. The poor animal was no longer pained anymore; all that was left was anger and the need for vengeance.“I don't know what happened between you and Maisie,” My head snapped up when I heard the pack healer talking, bringing a momentary distraction from those overwhelming emotions. “But that woman has been through a lot and she doesn't need your animosity to add to her problems.”“You don't know anything about this, Irene so stay out of this.” I snapped back. Pack healers and priestesses were universally revered in

MAISIEAfter uttering those words, Gwen swiftly flew over to my side and clamped her hand over my mouth. Her eyes anxiously darted around our surroundings, before she faced me with a hiss, “Be careful of what you say, Maisie Henderson! Someone might hear you!”My eyes flickered with remorse so I nodded slowly, fascinated with the tiny but strong heartbeat that pulsed underneath her skin. My heart was filled with happiness when I guided her gently back into the pack healer's house. The familiar antiseptic smell welcomed me as I dropped my purse on the table. “Welcome, who is there?” Irene reappeared from the hallway to greet her unexpected guests but her smile slowly died down when she saw Gwen by my side. She spoke with a deadpanned voice, “Oh, it's you. What can I do for you, Gwen?”“Please, come and check Gwen immediately,” My voice was filled with urgency and joy. I had already begun to think of baby names and stuff, things that I would do for the little child when it finally arri

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

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
