Amber paced impatiently. She hated when she fought with Marcus, it made her jittery and unsettled. She had been trying to make him see reason yet he was adamant that she had been hasn't in making a decision that could have destroyed them both if discovered. She wanted to be done with this Maya business before the engagement ceremony. Luna had not been helpful.Marcus opened the door slowly and entered the room. He found Amber seated on the bed, her knees moving in sync with her hands."I have been waiting for you." Amber said."I am here now." Marcus said nonchalantly."We could have finished this conversation but that just had to come out of nowhere, as always. We were doing okay with Killian when she butted in." Amber started complaining."Is that why you wanted to poison her? Because she took Killian away from you?" Marcus asked."Don't be ridiculous. I am with you. You are my mate. The relationship between Killian and I is dead, old news. I...""Why did you do it then?" Marcus cut
Maya felt refreshed after the run. All she needed now was a hot bath, fresh clothes and some warm food to give her the willpower to square out things with Killian. She picked a towel and was headed to the bathroom when Killian waylaid her. One moment he was not there, the next minute he was in front of her. She almost toppled over."Oops! I did not see you there." Maya said as she picked up the towel that had fallen from her shoulders.Killian sniffed another scent of Maya even before he reached her. It made his blood boil with a lot of questions."Whose scent is that?" Killian asked angrily."You did not even apologise for almost knocking me over." Maya accused."I asked you a question Maya, don't play games with me. Whose scent is that on you?" Killian repeated, loudly this time."Don't get your knickers in a twist Killian. I went for a run and bumped into Lord Stephano." Maya explained. Killian's anger was starting to irritate him.She had been in a good mood after the run, now she
"I must go visit Killian." Luna Miranda told Bianca. She had been thinking of what to do about the Sebastian situation. The idea of visiting Killian had just sprung up in her mind and she felt it was the right thing to do."When are we leaving?" Bianca asked innocently."We? I will be going alone. You stay here and take care of the mansion." Luna Miranda said."If you say so. When are you going?" Bianca asked grudgingly."Right this minute. I want to arrive before Killian leaves for his rounds." Luna Miranda said as she threw in a few clothes in her bag. Luna Killian arrived before Killian left for his daily rounds just as she had predicted and wanted. Some of the old maids from the previous alpha's era recognized her and went to welcome her. They wanted to help with her meager luggage but she shooed them away."I can carry my own bag. Pretentious rats." She trotted into the common living room and found Killian, Marcus and others having a brief meeting."Now, just ensure that nobody
Killian was worried about Maya. How was she going to take the news of his mother living with them? The relationship between Maya and his mother was not cordial. Luna Miranda had hated Maya from the moment she had met her, how were they going to breathe the same air? Killian had accepted Luna Miranda back just because she was his mother and had been remorseful about her past behaviours. Luna Miranda had wanted to hug him for accepting her back but Killian had brushed off the hug. He had agreed to let her stay, but was not about to start being friendly with her. Besides, she had never shown him any affection from his childhood. She was giving him the residue of love and affection Sebastian had left.He found Maya brushing her hair. He took the brush from her. "Let me help you." Killian said as he ran his fingers through Maya's hair. Maya handed him the brush."I wanted to talk to you about something." Killian said as he gently ran the brush through Maya's hair."I am all ears. What i
The more Maya listened, the more she was convinced that the servants were talking about her. They had not felt her presence nor her scent, she loved it that way. She listened some more."Did you hear that Sebastian left the pack?" The servant on the left said."Yes I did. And I know it is because of her. She should have left instead of Sebastian." Her counterpart contributed."She should have. I really loathe her. I do not know what Alpha Killian sees in her. She is not even beautiful." The first servant said."I think she bewitched him. I hear her people are partly witches. She might have smuggled in a strong charm and used it on the Alpha." "You could be right. Otherwise Alpha Killian would not have looked at her twice." Another servant who had been quiet all along said."And the way she walks around this place with her nose held high you'd think she is something. She is not yet Luna but she already treats us like garbage." The first servant said. This was a lie because Maya barely
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
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
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
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
