Mark dragged the guard who had been hitting Maya to some secluded place and threw him on the ground.

"Alpha, please forgive me, I was just following orders."

"I have just been away for a short five years and you are already treating my pack like animals?" Mark questioned angrily.

The look on Maya's face at how she endured the pain made his heart wrench in pain.

"We can't defy our luna. It was her order to teach that omega a lesson."

"Omega?"

"Yes."

"When did this happen?" Mark asked.

Maya was an omega? That was beyond his imagination and expectations.

The last time he saw her was the day before his twentieth birthday when he was supposed to announce his luna in front of his pack.

He did not dare to see her because he knew that he had let her down.

But Lily had promised to take good care of her like her own sister, was this the way siblings took care of each other?

Turning one into the lowest ranked in the pack and even abusing them?

After his birthday celebration, he immediately left the same night to go for a secret training that only he and his father knew of.

He never thought that when he came back five years later, everything would have changed.

"Tell me everything you know," Mark demanded.

He had the urge to snap this man's neck but logic told him otherwise.

"After you left five years ago, Miss Maya was accused of stealing some expensive jewelry belonging to miss Lily."

"Beta Collin and his wife Melissa wanted to cast her out of the pack but Lily stood up to her and requested they don't chase her away."

"She requested that instead they should leave her in the pack but lower her rank to an omega."

"Miss Maya protested and was ready to leave because she said that she was innocent, but instead she was tied up and locked in the room for one week without food or anything."

"When she finally left, she was so weak that she couldn't even stand. Then miss Lily took her back into the house but she was in charge of cleaning and cooking." The guard said.

He dared not to omit anything because he feared for his life.

Mark was so shocked after hearing the whole story.

He could not believe that a lot had happened while he was away.

"And why were you whipping her earlier?"

"As I had told you, it was an order from our future luna. Now everyone in the family listens to her, even her parents. No one dares to defy her orders!"

"Was it only today or it's something that has been happening over the years?" Mark asked. His voice was cold enough to send the guard trembling in fear.

He did not dare look him in the eye or even dared to raise his head.

"Speak!" Mark roared. He was on the verge of losing control.

The pain in his heart made him see red.

"Err, it started five years ago. Every time luna Lily was pissed off or in a bad mood, she could order us to bring Maya over then we will torture her while she enjoys….."

"Enough," Mark said in a low growl.

His nails had started to grow and fangs were now visible.

His eyes had turned a deep blue color, an indication that his wolf was raging.

It wanted to wreak havoc and destroyed everything it came across.

"This will remain between us, if you are told to do anything by miss Lily, you have to report to me," Mark ordered before he left in huge strides.

"Yes, Alpha."

Mark did not wait for the guard's reply. He immediately transformed into his wolf form and ran to the woods before letting out a loud howl.

He needed to put his emotions under control. Although he believed what the guard had said to be eighty percent true, he still needed to do his investigation.

So he mind-linked with his beta and gave him some instructions.

The two of them had both left the pack at the same time although they had gone to different places to train.

Beta was alpha's right-hand man, the more powerful he was, the greater his alpha would be.

He couldn't believe that Lily had the heart to torment Maya to that extent.

Lily heard the howl and her heart trembled. They were mates, they had some connection with each other.

But why did he sound angry? Had something happened to him while he was away?

Mark runs into the woods. Feeling the wind rub on his skin and the soil beneath him, the feeling of nature was the best remedy for any wolf.

He felt one with nature. The trees, the soil, the wind, and the air, it gave magical healing to his unsettled moods.

He was the fastest in the pack because he was born under the wind moon.

He was considered intelligent, self-driven, and stubborn. Once he decided on something, he would never change his mind...

But because of his pack, he changed his mind. Because of his family, he hurt the person he cared about the most.

Mark ran around the woods, and climbed trees at a terrifying speed, he seemed to be one with the wind, so mystical, so magical.

After an unknown amount of time passed, he transformed back to his human form.

Standing under the tree but naked, Mark was not embarrassed at all.

He had been angry earlier that when he transformed, all the clothes were torn apart.

He dazed out for a moment, mind linked with his beta to bring him some clothes before he climbed the tree and lay down.

If Maya was here, she would have looked away shyly and urged him to cover himself, but she would sneak peeks when he was not looking.

He had found it amusing and always ended up teasing her of being a hypocrite. They would then chase each other in the woods as they laughed their hearts out.

Before he knew it, he had missed her so much. He never thought that he will be heartless to that extent.

Why had he made such stupid suggestions and even assured her that she will definitely become his luna?

Deep inside, he did not want to lose her but because he had the pack to consider, he made the decision that hurt her the most.

He might think that his rejection was not a blow to Maya because they were not real mates, but to Maya, all that mattered was the person she loved.

Whether he was her mate or not, she had given all of her heart to him.

Although Mark did not feel the pain because there was no mating bond between the two of them, he could still feel that Maya had truly been hurt.

Soon, his beta, Jay, arrived with his clothes. After putting them on, they left the woods.

"What was with the howl?" Jay asked his alpha.

"Why do you ask?"

"It was filled with rage. It sent everyone shivering with fear."

"It was nothing, I was just letting out some steam."

"Okay."

….

Mark arrived at Lily's House, now the for the second time...

When he entered, he noticed that the house was neatly arranged, but the person he wanted to see was nowhere to be seen.

He managed his anger and walked towards Lily's room with his usual gentle expression.

Although they grew together, he and Lily did not have a deeper bond between them, but for the benefit, of the pack, they had no choice but to be together.

Although Lily's parents were just second in command, they had a lot of connections from outside the pack. Marrying her meant that their pack would be stronger than before.

"Baby…." Lily screamed and threw herself at Mark the moment she saw him.

"You really are back?"

"Yes. How have you been?"

"I have been missing you every day with each passing second," Lily said, stealing a kiss from Mark.

Mark took the opportunity to deepen the kiss and kissed her passionately.

He did not look like the man who had been feeling sorry just a moment ago.

Men sure were fickle. Once beauty threw itself at them, it will forget about everything else.

Lily enjoyed the intimate act of her man.

She was pleased as punch as she indulged in the kiss...

'Maya look, the moment you man came in, he immediately pounced on me and kissed me like crazy." Lily thought smugly in her heart.

"Let's go to your room," Mark said after sensing that someone was looking at them.

He pushed Lily to the room and before he closed the door, he managed to catch a glimpse of a lonely figure retreating.

    During the day when Mark was with Lily, he tried to ask about Maya's matter but Lily brushed it off every time. "Why haven't I seen Maya since I came back?" Mark asked. "Ooh, my sister, I sent her to get something for me, I think she will be back soon." "How has she been?" "Although she was heartbroken at first and did not speak to me often, she came to realize that some things never belonged to her thus she had to face the reality," Lily said. Mark looked on and said nothing. Since he knew the truth, he was just testing of Lily will be honest with him, but it seemed, she will never tell him anything. Mark felt frustrated but he could not be mad at her after all they have just been intimate a moment ago. For the first time, he hated himself for being so useless. He had hurt the person he cared about the most. And now other people were also hurting her but there was nothing he could do. He did not wish to stay there any longer.

    Ashton carried Maya in his arms as he disappeared into the woods. He didn't know where his impulse came from but he knew that if he didn't save her, he will regret it for the rest of his life. Something in him also seemed to awaken, something he hadn't felt for a long time. …. Back at Lily's house….. The wind winders pack was welcoming their guests. The celebration had already begun but the protagonist was nowhere to be seen. Every pack leader was around and only Alpha Ashton has not shown his face. Many of the ladies were starting to feel restless. They had dressed up simply because they wanted to impress that one person, but if he did not even come, what was the need of looking all glorious? They approached Lily, who had assured them again and again that Alpha Ashton will definitely come. "How come we don't see him?" "Maybe he was held up somewhere but I'm sure he will show up," Lily assured, but deep down she was feeling restless. Although she already had a mate and was

    Maya woke up with a start. Seeing all the kinds of tubes connected to her body, she was stunned. What happened to her, hadn't she been thrown in the raging waves of the lake? How comes she is not rotten and yet she was lying in bed, alive? Was she alive or it was an illusion before dying? Did she hope for someone to come and save her? Maya smiled in self-mockery. She had been adamant about dying and now she was hoping for someone to come and save her. Maya closed her eyes. She did not want to think about anything and only wanted to go to hell. She was suited to be in hell or whatever place God will see fit. As she was contemplating taking her last breath, she heard some footsteps. They were solid and heavy. It seemed to be someone who was well-trained and had an explosive amount of energy. There were also some which weren't as solid, but she knew that someone was coming. "How is she?" "She is yet to wake up. But according to the marks on her body, she has been under abuse f

    After looking down for a while, Maya was determined to say whatever she wanted, thus she lifted her head and stared at Ashton, straight in the eye. Looking into his intimidating eyes, Maya did not back down. She straightened her back and cleared her throat again. “Hello alpha, need a Luna?” Maya asked. “Sorry I didn’t mean to eavesdrop on your conversation but I happened to hear you talking about your alpha not having a mate. You can take it as me offering my body to repay your kindness.” Maya said, puffing the invisible chest out. “What kindness is Miss Maya talking about?” Ashton asked. “Of you saving me!” Maya said. “Don’t worry, I can cook, I can clean. I can do practically everything so you won’t be at a loss if you marry me. Plus I don’t have a mate.” Maya said. “And where did you hear from that I’m the one who saved you?” Ashton asked. His eyes shone with a teasing light. “Ooh, it wasn’t you? I just had the feeling. Maybe my intuition is not right.” “Nope! It wasn’t me

    "There, that's better." Ashton nodded his head when he saw Maya look at him. "Can you now repeat what you said to me on the balcony?" He asked. His voice was gentle and soothing to the ears. It made Maya's erratic emotions calm down. "I said a lot of crap, what are you referring to exactly?" Maya questioned. She felt that this alpha had a strange personality. "The first statement you made." "The first statement I made?" 'Wait, wasn't the first statement I made the one asking him if he needed a Luna? Does he want me to repeat so that he can reject me again?' Maya thought. She never thought that this man would be so mean. "Have you forgotten? Should I help you refresh your mind?" "No. Of course not. I remember what I said. But didn't you say that you were not the one who saved me? Why would I say it again?" "I will only offer myself to the one who saved me," Maya said. "Do you know in whose room you are now?" "Yours." "Right, it's my room. Who do you think dares to bring a st

    After confirming that they were mates, Maya and Ashton spent almost all their time together. Maya was eager to know more about Ashton and especially her past while Ashton was eager to know the kind of life Maya had led for the last fifteen years. Ashton had assigned most of the pack matters to his beta, Theo. Everyone was happy to finally learn that their alpha has found his mate, but when they saw the frail-looking Maya, they were shocked. Others looked at her with disdain especially when they learned that she was already twenty and never shifted even for once. The ladies who were obsessed with their alpha Ashton would send her hostile gazes making Maya tremble in fear. She thought that if she were to walk alone around the pack, she will never come back alive. Those people would probably kill her at the first sight of her. But they were afraid to make a move as most of the time, she was always with Ashton, hiding behind his back. "Hmph, I have never seen such a weak luna. How

    Maya seemed to not have heard Ashton as she continued to stare at his back. It was strong and masculine. His wolf was probably big and strong. Although they spent almost all day together, Maya was yet to see Ashton's wolf. It seemed like Ashton was mindful of her feelings which is why he hadn't shifted even once. "If you don't want to go, then come in and help," Ashton said. He turned and looked at Maya with a gentle gaze. It was as if his gaze was some kind of hypnosis. Maya found herself walking towards him under his gentle gaze. "I thought that I could keep you waiting for over an hour. It seems you are really hungry." Ashton said as he drew her into his embrace. Maya smelled his woody scent complimented by the smoke from the cooking, making her heart feel a sense of security. "I thought that you got when I asked you if you could cook. I was coming to check and see what the chefs were making. I didn't know that I will get such a surprise." Maya said. "Am I such a petty per

Their journey had been smooth and they had not faced a lot of dangers on their way. They only had some rogues and a few wild animals that pack members took care of with ease. Ashton did not even have to lift his finger. "If we go for about one hour, we will be able to make it in time before the challenge began," Theo told Ashton, who was resting with his eyes closed. "That is good. We will wait until they tire themselves out then can begin our operation." Ashton said. He knew that even if he did not use the opportunity to expose Kelly, he would still have a lot of chances. But he did not want to waste too much of his energy. Since he had such a great opportunity to expose himself to the whole world, he will not waste it. At the ash band pack fighting arena….

I believe in you.” Maya who was beside him said in a low voice. “Mmh, we will do it.” Ashton nodded and lowered his head to kiss her on the lips. “Let us go. Has everyone gathered?’’ Ashton asked. “Yes, alpha. We are more than ready to set off.” “Good.” After gathering everyone, they decided that they won’t use the portals to travel back to the ash band pack. They wanted to run through the woods as they experienced the magic of nature. They had approximated that it will take them three days to reach the ash band pack. It was perfect timing because Kelly and Matthew will be facing each other on that same day. “Why don’t you stay and come with uncle Eliphas after three days?” Ashton looked at the woman beside him and asked. He remembered the first time they came to this place; they had spent weeks on t

The happiest person was probably Kelly. He did not imagine that he managed to get the woman of his dreams. He did not know when it started, but for a long time, Lily had become her only source of joy. Every time he saw her, he would feel happy and blissful.

Although she had found herself another alpha, the feeling was not the same. ….. "Son please open the door.

Look took a step back to put some distance between them and asked in a cold voice. "But darling, who said that I am joking? My everyone word comes from the bottom of my heart." Kelly said. He moved and was about to touch her waist, which made Lily's face turn white from the fright. "What are you guys doing?" A voice came from behind Lily which startled her so much. If not for Mark's quick reflexes, she might have bumped into the wall. "Alpha Mark, nice to finally meet you."

Although he behaved like he did not care about the coming battle between the blue blood pack leader and himself, he did not take it lightly. He was only acting so that he could lower everyone's expectations of him so that when the time comes, he will shock them with his performance. He wanted the enemy to lower his guard and relax as much as he could, thinking that he, Kelly was a good-for-nothing spoilt brat. He also did not want to explain anything to anyone. Those who needed to understand will naturally understand. Days passed by and it was almost the day of the party. Lily had been feeling relentless about the whole thing.

She had been extremely shocked. She went to her room and threw a tantrum but she had fainted afterward due to exhaustion and when she woke up, she thought that she might have been dreaming. Because the first person she saw after waking up was Mark by her bedside tending to her tenderly. So, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that what she heard was all in her dreams. It was only a nightmare and she was scaring herself for nothing. If it was true that Maya was mated to Ashton, wouldn't she have come to show off already?

She was not ashamed that she was using her baby for her personal gain and satisfaction. Her parents had come back from their long vacation and even Mark's parents were present!

    Chapter 52 After meeting with the elders, Kelly still maintained his stance. He was not going to back down no matter what the elders said. He was never an obedient boy like most of them thought. He had only been obedient when his grandfather was alive because he wanted to assure him that he could leave the pack in his care. He was not going to listen to anyone and he was bent on fighting Matthew. The elders have never seen someone as selfish as Kelly who did not even care about the people he led. All he cared about was his pride and nothing else. They were now starting to regret why they supported Gael in appointing him as the alpha. They were even starting to be suspicious after thinking about all the events that took place before and after Kelly was named alpha. They were well aware that Ashton did not deserve everything that happened to him, but because they wanted to maintain their faces, they lost such a good leader. They could only grit their teeth and pray to their ancestors
