Maya blinked her eyes open the following morning. Looking around, she noticed that she was inside Killian's room and not hers. The memories from yesterday and the soreness down there informing her of what transpired the previous night." You are awake?" Killian's voice greeted her, making her smile. Turning around, she came face to face with his handsome face." Mmm," she grunted, shifting her weight on her hands and kissing him on the lips briefly.Pulling away, she smiled at him. Killian smiled back." Good Morning handsome?"she greeted." It's a good morning indeed. The kiss just made my morning even better." Killian replied, winking at her." Such a sweet mouth." Maya said, blushing. She was in a good mood and so was her Man but wait..." What happened?" The last time she checked, they had attended his mother's dinner invitation. She remembered having drank lettuce soup and then... and then nothing else." You were drugged." Killian said with a sigh, his face hardening. Just the m
Killian and Maya walked hand in hand to the dining. All the pack members who saw them bowed in respect. Walking with Killian, Maya felt like she was back to her past life again. She knew all the respect was accorded to Killian but she didn't care. As long as she could spend time with the man she loved, she didn't have a problem.Entering the dining hall, they were greeted by the sight of Luna Miranda sipping on her cup of tea." Good morning Luna?" Maya greeted her. Despite what happened, she knew her place in the pack." Maya dear, I'm glad to see you. Are you alright?" Luna Miranda asked, standing from her seat and walking to Maya." Drop the act mother. Why are you here?" Killian impatiently asked. He despised it when people tried to act like they did nothing wrong. How could she smile so brightly at Maya after the ordeal she put her through last night? Luna Maya halted in her steps before her gaze hardened." Mind your words young man. You might be the Alpha Lord but I am still y
" And who do you think you are to preach about children to me?" Luna Miranda bellowed. She was mad that someone knew the dirty secret she had tried to bury for all these years. If anybody else ever found out about what she did, she would lose face in front of the pack members. That was something she wasn't looking forward to." I am nobody in front of you and I know I don't have the right to talk about your children with you but I feel like as Killian's woman, I should stand for him. They are both your children, your flesh and blood, why should you treat him as the lesser human? You gave birth to him." Maya said.Luna Miranda snorted." I don't have time to talk about such useless matters to you. Since you don't agree with my offer, let's see how long you'll remain by his side." With that she walked away, leaving Maya behind.Maya watched as Luna Miranda walked away angrily. She could not help but think about how her own parents treated her. At the end of the day, she was still unlove
To my darling wifeI hope you are fine. I don't have much to say, just to congratulate you for successfully completing the first step of our grand plan. I am proud of you.Plan two can be initiated now, anytime from now, we can launch the attack. Be ready and Make sure there's nothing to stop our pack from taking over all the other packs. With Midnight pack in our clutches, it's a sure bet we will realise our goals.We are counting on you.I will inform you when we plan to launch the attack.I miss you, my wifeHubbyMaya did not know exactly what to feel or do after reading the letter. He could understand that Killian was suspicious about the letter, but how could he go ahead and suspect what they have? Just because of a fucking letter when he doesn't even have any evidence that it was addressed to her?Did he think that she, Maya, agreed to come to the midnight pack to trap him and help Theo conquer the region?What happened to the words of defence he uttered in front of the council
After leaving his office filled with rage, Killian made his way to the parking lot.He walked to his baby before getting in and driving off. He could not believe that the woman he had come to Love and cherish was even worse than Amber.How could he have fallen for her honey trap? Was everything she ever did and showed him all an act? Despite seeing it himself, he didn't want to believe it.He loved her. He fucking loved her and sadly, even after what he just discovered, he desired her.To him, she was that drug he was addicted to and couldn't live without.That was what Maya had become to him.Slowly but surely, She crept Into his heart, making a place for herself. No, she just didn't make a place, she inhabited the whole of his heart. " Fuck!" Killian cursed, slamming his hands on the steering wheel.Killian's mind was jumbled as he kept driving, not knowing where he was going. He just needed to get away, to escape his reality, even for a moment.Maya's betrayal truly hurt him. She
"Loved her? No,I didn't love her. I still fucking love her. Even after learning everything, I can't get her off my mind. Despite everything, I still want her. I want her in my arms so badly that I feel like I'll go crazy if I don't have her." Killian replied painfully.His heart longed for her. He wanted to be embraced by her, have her warmth envelop him and tell him that everything was nothing but a big joke. Alas, reality was harsh." Do you still love her? Then why not talk to her? You are just hurting yourself by staying away from her. Drowning your sorrows here would not help clear any misunderstanding between you two. Talk to her and solve whatever differences you have." Lord Stephano said, a look of anger on his face which he concealed almost immediately." You don't understand…” Killian croaked but Lord Stephano was fast to cut him off." ... And I don't want to understand or I'll just take her away from you." He said, his expressions hard." What did you say?" Killian sought
Killian stumbled on his way to his room. This time, not because he was drunk again but from shame and regret.How could he? He claimed to have loved her yet he didn't think twice before accusing her." Do you know who Maya truly is? Leave alone the Maya who everyone knows as the Luna?" His uncle's words had made him confused." She is the apprentice I have always talked about. She's the little girl who saved my life. I have known her, seen her get married to her husband. Witnessed her happy marriage days and even secretly watched as she suffered humiliation from her husband. She was cast away, betrayed and later chose to seek refuge here. " His uncle's words had left him dumbfounded and ashamed of himself." I never thought that a day would come that you of all people could bring her pain. She came here to escape the bitter reality of her life, how could you ever doubt her like that?"Yes, how could he doubt her like that? He was supposed to be her anchor, her protector. When did he
" Sure why not?" Maya replied with a smile. She was tired, yes, but maybe chatting with someone was what she needed to get her brain off everything that happened with Killian.She had spent hours running in her wolf and although it did help her forget the pain, it did nothing to erase that ugly memory from the morning.Removing the coat he was wearing, Stephano offered it to Maya. She was dressed in a thin dress and despite having a wolf, the cold night breeze would be harsh on her human body." I can't accept that." Maya outrightly refused. How could she accept something from someone like Lord Stephano?Her status and his were miles apart. It was inappropriate." Why not? Don't be so formal with me." Lord Stephano insisted." We ain't that close." Maya replied with the first excuse that came to mind.Lord Stephano chuckled." We don't need to share a bed to be close, Luna Maya. I agree that we are not as close but that can be solved, let's get close." Lord Stephano said, a gentleman
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
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
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
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
