" Where is the Alpha?" Maya shouted, her eyes scanning the area, trying to locate Killian.With every passing moment that she did not see him, her worry intensified." The Alpha left for the Southern borders." The warrior replied.Maya's brows furrowed. She did not understand why Killian would head over to the southern borders at a critical time like this. The pack was under attack and at a time like this, he needed to be there to protect his people and his land." The Southern borders?" Maya inquired as she continued to swirl her dagger, thrusting it into her enemies' vital points and giving them an instant kill.That's how she was trained,to give a fast and painless death, moving on to the next target." Yes. The borders are under attack." The warrior replied weakly. He had sustained a number of wounds from earlier before Maya saved him.His words made Maya frown. Her experience in battles told her that the attack at the borders must have been used to distract Killian as the enemy a
Killian made his way to the packhouse. The place was quiet, it was as if nothing happened, like a fierce battle did not happen there.If it wasn't for the dead bodies littering on the ground and the groaning sounds from the injured soldiers, he would swear that everything was fine." Alpha,it seems like they escaped." Beta Marcus commented." You think I don't know that?" Killian barked, clenching his fists.He could not believe that he was that easily fooled." Clean this up!" He ordered before making his way to Maya's bedroom.He hastened in his steps, praying and hoping that Maya was safely and soundly asleep in her room.The mere thought of anything happening to her sent waves of fear and panic to his heart.He didn't want to think about it. He would break if anything happened to her.Something about the attack was very suspicious and he would need to investigate to know what motives his enemy had.Killian pushed the door open, stepping into the room.His heart dropped when he Saw
" What are you doing here?" Killian asked, his eyes narrowing at Lord Stephano.It was so late at night, what was the young man doing visiting Maya?His eyes travelled to the flowers in his hands and his face hardened. He was even carrying flowers? Who was he trying to impress? Weren't flowers, especially roses, given to lovers?" To visit Luna Maya ofcourse." Lord Stephano answered with a straight face.He had come back from a business trip only to be greeted by the news of the pack's attack.He also got to know that Maya was injured trying to protect the people.He was so worried about her that he didn't wait until morning to arrive before visiting her.He knew that his actions might rub the Alpha the wrong way but that was the least of his concerns. His wolf wouldn't calm down unless he Saw her. Shoving all senses and reason at the back of his head, he ignited his car and drove straight to the pack.He only had one thing in mind; see Maya personally.Unless he made sure that she w
Killian faked a disappointed look on his face." It's such a pity they'll go to waste." He uttered. Maya cocked her brows at him, praising him for his shamelessness.Who could not tell that the flowers had him in a foul mood." Yeah, it's such a waste to throw them away. Just keep them over there. They are beautiful after all." Maya answered." No need. Since you are allergic to them, I'll dispose of them." Killian answered almost immediately before walking out, the flowers in his arms.Maya chuckled seeing his actions. Choosing to save him some face and not expose him, she shook her head in disbelief.Killian returned in less than a minute." That was fast." Maya commented." Yeah, I gave them to another patient. You might not need them, but others do." Killian replied casually. Maya frowned hearing his words." Weren't Only men fighting earlier? Did the women get hurt too? I thought they were taken to a safe place?" Maya wondered out loud." So you do know that all the women and chi
" What the hell is wrong with you?" Marcus yelled at Amber Immediately he pushed the door to her room." Keep your voice down, will you? You don't want others learning about your snake heart." Amber taunted as she continued filing her long manicured fingers.She didn't seem like she was offended by Marcus' outburst nor did she care." That was very risky. You could have been exposed." Marcus said, glaring at the woman who continued with her business without any care in the world." Nothing happened." Amber replied nonchalantly.Marcus sighed, running his hand through his hair before tugging at it roughly. The woman before him was getting on his nerves." Calm down will you? Do you think I don't Know what I am doing? Instead of yelling at me, you should be happy. I am helping you here. The more Killian is distracted with her, the more chances you get to make your move. There's not enough time. Luna Miranda is taking actions and if we delay, they will beat us to the game. I have worked
" What do you mean by you didn't bring her back, Mason? I gave you a simple mission yet you could not bring your Luna back?" Kaiser yelled at his Beta who remained kneeling and head bowed down.The bulging veins on his face showed that he was angry.He kicked the coffee table on his table, missing Mason by one inch." We had everything planned. I had rogues distract Killian. The pack was left unprotected, how could you all fail to complete the mission at hand. Now that Killian has been alerted, do you think it will be easy to bring her here? Can you bear the consequences if I don't get her on time?" He thundered, letting out an angry growl.Mason shuddered from the intensity of his Alpha's anger.He wanted to tell his Alpha that their Luna refused coming with them and even mocked them for talking about a mate.From her talk, One thing was clear, getting her from the midnight pack would need more than some sneaky attacks.Only his Alpha could convince her to come home to them. Otherwis
" Damian!" Luna Miranda desperately called, trying to stop Damian from saying more." What Miranda? You don't want your son finding out what dirty tricks his father did? Just because I kept quiet about the past doesn't mean I'll keep quiet forever. You say that Killian doesn't deserve to be the Alpha Lord, then do you? Your father took the position from me just because I was not ready to fight for it. And your mother? " He said, turning to look at Luna Miranda." Your mother chose to be with your father because he was the Alpha while I, her mate, was nothing. " He spat coldly. He was tired of keeping the secret to himself while everyone called him useless.He loved his brother and that's why he didn't try to fight for the position of Alpha. Now that the people who took everything from him were ganging up on his son, how could he let them off The hook so easily. Sebastian opened his mouth severally to say something but no word came out of his mouth.He could not believe that the posi
Slowly, Killian pushed the door and was surprised to see his uncle Damian sitting on the chair beside Maya's bed. He was peeling an apple for Maya while Maya was munching on another as she giggled happily. He was happy to see her smile genuinely." What's making my Queen so happy? Care to share?" He asked as he made his way to the room.He was here to ask Maya a few questions about the details of the attack but with his uncle around, he will have to wait. " It's nothing special." Uncle Damian replied. " I was just telling Maya about the embarrassing things you did while you were still Young." He added and the smile on Killian's face vanished, replaced by a frown and a look of… embarrassment. " Uncle!" He whined. " How can you betray me so much?" He complained, looking aggrieved but his uncle only shook his Head. "Betray you? That's not betraying you. I'm just letting your future wife know how naughty you were in the past." Uncle Damian replied. After chatting with Maya for some t
