After making that deal with Stephano, my heart finally calmed down. I could smell an impending bloodshed ànd I wanted to keep Maya as far as possible from everything. I can't take it if something really happened to her. I know that if that did happen, the last bit of my sanity would have been eroded away.After going back to the room, Maya was still awake, seemingly not sleepy at all. Walking to the bed, I laid down next to her, pulling her into my arms."Honey? You don't look okay, what happened?"I smiled and looked at the girl in my arms. Her eyes were looking up and down my face, trying to discern what was wrong. She seemed to Know me even when I tried to conceal my emotions, she would still figure out if I'm in a bad mood or not." My heart feels unsettled, can you help me feel better, wife?" I murmured, kissing her lips passionately.Her lips were soft ànd sweet. She had this power to awaken the beast inside me.Maya didn't reply but instead, her hands roamed all over my body. I
As I pushed open the door to my office, Asher was already waiting for me inside." Is everything ready?" I àsked and he nodded." Yes, the word has been spread and the preparations done. If everything goes as planned, tomorrow we will capture the traitor during Luna's send off." Asher replied and I nodded. He was a reliable man ànd that's why I kept him around me." Asher?" I called, my eyes looking him straight in the face." Have I ever mistreated any of you? Have I ever treated you guys unjustly?" I àsked. After getting the news about the betrayal of Marcus, I could not help but look back on whether I did anything to my men in the past to guarantee him turning against me." The Alpha is Just ànd treats us well." Asher answered" Why then do you think he turned against me?" I asked." Alpha, Marcus has always had his own ambitions. It's not something that anyone can stop. He probably thought that if he was the Alpha, his position would be stronger. That is his loss, he chose to make
Four months later" Be careful, my wife. Don't trip and fall." Killian said as he helped me down the stairs." What do you mean don't trip ànd fall? Killian, can you stop treating me like someone who is disabled? I'm just pregnant for crying out loud." I said, rolling my éyes at his dramatic behavior." My wife, I'm Just worried about you ànd our babies. I can't wait for you to give birth to them." Killian said, his hands rubbing my bulging stomach.I slapped his hands away."What? Excited to meet the babies?" I asked and Killian frowned before shaking his head." Who wants to meet those two troublemakers? I'm Just anxious to get rid of them from your tummy so that you don't have to struggle so much." Killian answered, making me smile.The last four months have been a hell for me. I had to be bedridden for three months before being allowed to go outI couldn't even move around a lot without getting exhausted. I was lucky that I could walk to the bathroom and take a bath by myself.Whe
" You look so beautiful tonight." My husband, Theo murmured into my ears, his tongue slowly licking my earlobes making me shudder.I was standing by the dressing table, looking at the woman in the reflection and I could not help but agree to him.But wait… something sounded wrong or at least his choice of words wasn't appropriate." Just tonight?" I asked, cocking a brow at him, challengingly.Theo smiled, his smile so beautiful that I was mesmerised, lost in it for a moment before I shook my head to return to reality." Not just tonight Maya. You are always beautiful but every time, you display a different style of beauty and I can't help but fall in love all over again." Theo replied, flashing his pearly white teeth at me.I smiled back, nudging him with my butt." You have a sweet mouth." I commented and he chuckled, " Isn't that what you like about me?" He countered, raising his eyebrows at me.Yes, that's one of the reasons I like him but it's not entirely it.I have to agree to
I descended the stairs gracefully, lifting the trail of my dress and careful not to step on it. That would be fatal.The hall was filled with people from different packs.This year, Theo decided to make my birthday special so we booked an hotel to celebrate it.The party was being held at the hotel and not the pack.He also made sure to invite the Alpha from the midnight pack and even from other regions to join us in the celebration. It's said that Alpha Killian from midnight pack is unfeeling and ruthless. He kills without a second thought but only his enemies. Actually, I never wanted anything grand but Theo insisted." You are my Luna and the Queen of my heart. You only deserve the best." He had said to me and I agreed, albeit reluctantly.To me, I'd rather spend my birthday with my family which ofcourse is Theo alone. But Theo shared a different opinion so here we are.As I made my way down the stairs, my eyes remained glued to my husband who was waiting for me at the base of th
Its been a week Since I arrived at midnight pack. The midnight pack is rumoured to have the most ruthless and feared Alpha across the land; Alpha Killian also known as the dark Lord.He earned his name after conquering packs that dared provoke him. It's said that he doesn't spare anyone once he attacks, not even a child.I made the decisions to come here after Theo brought home his mate without giving a single explanation.I always thought that we would live happily ever after but after Sandra came Into our lives, everything changed.Theo started treating me like something he was disgusted with.He avoided me like a plague. At the beginning, I thoughts that if I was patient enough, he would come back to his senses and remember the promises we made to each other. How wrong I was to think that!As if stripping me of my Luna rights wasn't enough, he made me serve his mate.From his beloved wife, one that he could not live without, I was reduced to a damned servant.He should have saved m
Picking myself up, I dust my clothes before following behind him, making sure to keep my distance.Since I don't know the way, I might well follow him to his destination.After taking a few turns, I stood before the Hall.Everybody was already gathered there, waiting for the Alpha so I sneaked in." Hey you,how audacious of you to arrive after the Alpha? Is this your home where you get to do what you want?" A voice roared, my heart picking its pace." I'm sorry Beta Marcus. I had a little accident on my way here." I replied.I have never been the one to show any weakness or be submissive.I am a warrior Luna and not used to getting orders from others.I can accept if it's the Dark Lord reprimanding me but a mere beta isn't qualified.It doesn't matter if I am in his turf or not.I could clearly tell that he was picking on me. For some reason, he did not seem to like me. Not like I liked him either The whole hall fell silent from my words while I caught some offerings looking at me as
Killian POVLuna Maya Reid She intrigues me. Something about her makes me want to see her and get to know her better.From what I heard from Marcus who was overseeing the selection of my offerings, she is the oldest of all the ladies.Marcus keeps complaining how disobedient she is and that fans the flames of desire to meet her.So I arranged to have the offerings assembled at the hall.I receive peace offerings for all the packs I conquered in the past every year. Although I never demand them, the Alpha's have always delivered them to my pack every year. Since my pack tends to have many unmated males, I never objected to their kindness. Everytime the offerings arrive, I integrate them into my pack and allow them to find mates.People say that I am the deity for chaos, what they don't is that I never attack unless someone challenges me.You don't expect me to just sit around, cowering in fear and finally having my Kingdom conquered, right?I have my responsibilities to the midnight p

After leaving Amber's róom, I could not get the scent of blood in her róom from my mind. Something was telling me that it was not Normal and something was awfully wrong on her part.A witch. Blood.Those two things always had a connection.Could She be the one who killed my mother and framed Maya?On one hand was her hatred towards Maya and on the other side was her closeness with my mother.Amber and my mother have always shared a close relationship so I did not see a reason why she would get rid of her.Deep in thought, I headed straight to my office and summoned Asher. Although Amber did not have a motive to kill my mother, I could not ignore the blood in her room.Asher arrived faster than I expected." Is there something the Alpha wants me to do?" He asked and I nodded. He knew me all too well." Yes. In your free time , help me check what Amber was up to in the south." I said.Asher nodded." Also, don't tell anyone. Make it as discreet as possible, don't startle the snake in th
Killian povUncle Damian's revelation shook me to the core. A witch? Of all people? Why would a witch want to harm my mother then pin the blame on Maya? I don't remember ever offending a witch in my struggle to stabilize the midnight pack so that came as a surprise. After he left my office, I summoned Asher to my office. I don't know why but after Maya asked about Marcus and Amber, I have been having this strange feeling of mistrust towards my beta. I wanted to tell him about the new information but I have been having this weird suspicion that he may have known all along.His face is too impassive. He didn't seem shocked when I told him that it was a witch who was responsible for the death of my mother. On the contrary, he seemed, scared? I can't tell for sure but I'm not involving him in this. To distract him, j decided to send him away to look for Sebastian Although he left the pack, he is still my brother. I knew that trying to get him back here would be a failed attempt so I c
" I feel so helpless." Killian confessed."What's the need of being the Alpha if I can't protect the people I love?" He added, running his hand through his hair.Seeing his son so stressed, Damian felt a pang of pain hit him. " Don't worry son, I will never let anything happen to your woman. She is like my daughter and a father's duty is to protect his children. You concentrate on delaying her trial, I will take care of things." Damian promised, his eyes laced with nothing but determination.He was not going to let Maya be condemned and punished for something she didn't commit. He would not let his son lose the only reason for his happiness.Killian was touched hearing his father's words. In the past, he was the only one who treated him best, with the exception of his Nanny Susan. Now that he knew the relationship between the two of them, he was glad that he had a father who cared so much about him." Thank you," he said in a low voice. He didn't take his help for granted. He was ha
Killian walked straight to his office, lost in thoughts. He didn't know what to do to help with Maya's situation.He was helpless. With the council pulling his legs to present Maya before them for trial, he was desperate to save her.Others might believe that she did it, but he would never believe that.The Maya he knew accommodated everyone and nothing would push her to commit murder, not to mention that the person was his own mother.She would never do anything to hurt him, that he was certain about. " Meet me in my office," he mindlinked his gamma before making his way to the office.If he wanted to unravel the truth, he needed some help and cracking such cases, only his gamma was capable enough.Arriving at his office, he walked to his liquor store before retrieving a bottle of whiskey.In a moment like this, he needed something to stimulate his nerves and brain and what better way than gulp some hard whiskey. His gamma did not take long for him to arrive at Killian's office.Hi
Maya could not believe what she heard nor what she saw. She could not believe that Amber could be as cruel as to kill Luna Miranda in broad daylight.In that moment of disbelief, she stood rooted in place, unable to move.Amber, who was startled by the sound of the falling tray, turned to look at Maya with murderous eyes. Her eyes were glowing red and one look at her, Maya could tell that she was not herself.Maya's suspicions escalated. No wolf can use magic and that's what Amber used to get rid of Luna Miranda.Stalking towards Maya, Amber had a crooked smile on her lips." You have a tendency of foiling my plans, don't you?" Amber asked and Maya stumbled.Flight or fight kicked in but her legs were too heavy to even take a step." First, it was the attack and now you can't let me get rid of that traitor in peace? What should I do to you?" Amber asked, her voice sounding dark and sinister. Her eyes remained beet red. They were scary." What do you want to do to me?" Maya asked, chal
Maya didn't know what to feel. On one hand, she really hoped Killian could at least soften his heart and retract his decision of banishing the maids from the pack. After losing what she called home, she could understand how it feels and she did not wish that for anyone, even her enemy.On the other hand, she knew that Killian was right. The people needed to be taught how to respect her. As an Alpha male, taking pity on those two could be seen as softness and that could encourage the others to go against his words. As long as they could be forgiven after pleading. That was not something she wanted for Killian. Being indecisive could lead to his people questioning his authority and ability to lead the people.She watched as Killian walked away without even turning to look at her.Walking back to the maids, she could only pity them." Unfortunately, there's nothing I can do to help you. Take this as a lesson. Wherever you are, you have to respect authority. I hope you have a smooth life
