" 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
Maya walked slowly to the packhouse.The guards at the gate nodded at her and she smiled at them. Ofcourse, her smile was forced.Chatting with Lord Stephano had helped her forget, albeit temporarily but now that she was approaching the pack house, she could not help but remember it all over again.She had sworn not to cry and despite how overwhelming the pain had been, she didn't shed even a single tear.That didn't mean she wasn't hurting. If anything, the pain was unbearable. It was corroding her insides. She didn't know between Theo's betrayal and Killian's misunderstanding, which one hurt the most.Deciding to shove those unpleasant thoughts to the back of her mind, she made her way to her room.Her feet had at some point carried her towards Killian's room, but she stopped herself before she could push the door.Maya was about to enter her room when someone stood before her.She had an haughty expression on her face and a smirk dancing at the corner of her lips." Look who finall
" Apology not accepted." Maya's answer made Killian sigh.She was angry with him. Who wouldn't after what he did to her? But he was willing to do anything to make amends. If only she could allow him." What do you want me to do to earn your forgiveness?" Killian asked. Maya kept quiet for a moment, contemplating whether the reply she was going to give was appropriate." Fuck me." She blurted out.Killian frowned, not expecting such an answer from her.How could she ask him that? All he wanted to do was make it up to her." Maya..." Killian called, only to be interrupted by her stern voice." You don't have to if you don't want to. Just don't expect us to talk." She said, leaving him a choice.Despite finding it inappropriate since they were in the middle of a misunderstanding, Killian still complied.How could he ever say no to her?Supporting his weight with his hands, he captured her lips in a slow and sensual kiss.Maya, who was taken aback at first, soon closed her eyes, her hands
The head maid nodded in understanding before leaving the kitchen.After everybody left, Killian looked around the kitchen, wondering where to start.Truth be told, the number of times he ever went to the kitchen all his life was when his aunt Sarah would decide to make his favourite sweet and sour pork ribs.But watching was different from doing the activity itself.Clueless, he took out his phone before calling his uncle Damian.He would be the person to help him appease Maya.After the conversation they had yesterday, Killian could tell that Maya was important to his uncle, maybe even more important than him.Who would have thought that his Maya was the Lady his uncle always told him about?Growing up, he knew so Much about Maya from his uncle.At some point, he got infatuated with the goodness of his uncle's apprentice. Who would have thought that they would meet and fall in love?Fate took away his parental love but blessed him with the most amazing love in the name of his chosen
" 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
