"Don't be sarcastic with me Queen, you know that to me, you are just like my daughter. I never liked that Theo boy for you. I have never trusted him with you." Uncle Damian said, giving Maya the look of ' I told you'Maya snorted, " of course Theo was never good in your eyes because you always thought your son would be the best for me. Are you happy now?" Maya asked. Uncle Damian's eyes widened in surprise." My son? What son?" He asked, feigning ignorance." Don't play dumb with me. Killian is your son with Luna Miranda, right?" Maya asked and the man before her smiled helplessly." How did you know?" He asked despite knowing the answer." You told me about your life and love, remember?" Maya replied with cocked brows." I never mentioned anything about Killian though."" Well, it wasn't hard to put one with one to get two." Maya grinned. " That was also the reason why I knew he wasn't your brother's son but yours." Maya replied with a straight face." How can you be so sure?" Uncle
After Killian left reluctantly to distract Amber as Maya and his uncle had their private conversation, he walked straight to the entrance of the compound.Amber was there, dressed in tights and a long t-shirt. Her hair was tied into a loose bun. Looking at her, Killian could not help but remember the Amber from before.She was a simple girl and that's what Killian loved about her. Too bad, she already lost his affection now." What are you doing here?" Killian asked her, his gaze hard. He didn't need anybody to tell him that Amber followed them all the way here. But how did she know where he was going? Only his beta Marcus and gamma Asher knew about his trip to his uncle."I was worried about you. I was coming here anyway to talk to your uncle. I'm sure you know that," Amber answered, meeting his gaze steadily.Killian tried to relax a little, but he didn't succeed." Worried about me?" Killian scoffed. " Why don't you drop the act Amber, it doesn't suit you at all. If you are to seek
" Maya, please. Don't turn your back on me, let's talk about this." Killian pleaded as he ran after Maya who was walking towards the Mansion. She wanted to break down but her training as Luna would not let her show her emotions.Halting in her steps, she allowed Killian to catch up with her.She didn't Know what hurt her, seeing Killian in the arms of another woman or watching him almost kiss her.Although she didn't want to overthink, she could also not ignore the pain in her heart.She was starting to believe that Killian was different from Theo, could she have been wrong all this time." Please Maya, listen to what I have to say," Killian pleaded, standing before Maya and taking her hands in his.Despite itching to throw his hands away, Maya allowed Killian to hold her. She gazed straight into his eyes. If he wanted to lie his way out of his situation, he might as well lie straight into her face." I don't Know what happened, I swear. One moment it was Amber, the next time,it was y
It's been three days since the attack happened. Three days and Maya's new home has been the dungeons.Actually, she wasn't worried about herself, she was more worried about the Alpha, Killian.Everything was going alright, Killian had managed to subdue the wolves that had attacked them on their way back until things took a turn for the worse.The wolves suddenly went mad, like something was controlling them. They also seemed to have come to possess special powers.Followed by the wolfsbane that was injected in his body, Killian started losing the fight.Maya had managed to step out of the car and stumbled towards Killian to help him when all of a sudden, the wolves bowed and saluted her, claiming her as their Luna.That was the scene that greeted the northern soldiers who had rushed to Killian to rescue them.With enough ' evidence' she was thrown into the dungeons, awaiting trial.She's been here for three days now. It's been three days since the last she heard of Killian."Maya..."
" Are you saying that Amber visited Maya?" Killian asked his beta, Marcus, who nodded in agreement." She did visit her but I don't think she had anything to do with your attack." Marcus defended." And you think Maya has?" A look of displeasure and irritation flashed through Killian's face making Marcus coil back to his protective shell.As the second in command, he was worried that his Alpha was bewitched by that conniving bitch. She clearly ordered people from the other pack to attack the Alpha and tried to pretend to care when she sensed their presence.Even the most stupid person could see that, why was his Alpha adamant on protecting her? He was even going to the extent of thinking that Amber was involved in the attempt on Alpha's life?Actually, he always thought that Amber was a perfect match for his Alpha, the ideal Luna and Queen of the Midnight pack. She was charismatic and resourceful, nothing compared to that woman. All she could amount to was being a bed warmer .It was
It was in the middle of the night when the door to Maya's prison cell rattled open. Her defensive instincts kicked in, that's until the smell of his intoxicating scent hit her.She didn't open her eyes or turn to look at her.Killian walked to the room before looking around. Although it wasn't up to standards, it was clean and warm enough for Maya.Taking baby steps, he lowered himself and kneeled on the mattress. He felt the softness of her cheek.He stroked her, thinking about how he wanted her out of there but couldn't. He needed her to stay there for a few days. Only then would they know who would have wanted him dead.Although he had his suspicions, he wanted to be sure.Maya's eyes fluttered open as Killian continued to pet her. With her deep Hazel orbs, she gazed at Killian.Her hands involuntarily travelled to his cheeks, and she pulled his face close to hers. She gently placed her lips upon his and felt her heart melt in his strong grasp.Their kiss was slow and sweet as if t
" What do you want here Miranda?" Uncle Damian asked the woman sitting before him as he sipped on his lemonade tea leisurely.Before him was the woman the moon Goddess chose for him then made her hate him. Between him, her fated mate who was a nobody and his brother who was the Alpha, she had chosen to abandon him and get married to his brother.Growing up, he always thought that a mate bond pull was something nobody could go against. How wrong he had been?In face of power, she chose to discard his love for her. But even after everything, he still found it hard to not be attracted to her." I am Luna of this pack, is there a place I shouldn't go? Much less give an explanation why I was there?" Luna Miranda countered haughtily." I thought you said you'd never want to see me? I'm surprised you took time to come here." He responded. His voice held a hint of sarcasm and mockery.She said something and now she was contradicting herself.Of course, how could she not spot the mockery in hi
" The council presents Maya Albert who is accused of planning and orchestrating an attempt on the Alpha's life which left him deeply wounded and unconscious. The accused, how do you plead?" The presiding prosecutor read Maya's accusations in front of all the council elders.Inside the council court, Luna Miranda and Sebastian were also present to listen to her trial.Looking anywhere but Killian's eyes, she made her stand known." Not guilty."Her voice echoed through the room carrying confidence and authority. The council members who had heard about the infamous Luna of the Silvermoon pack but never seen her were momentary stunned by her charisma and how her voice commanded respect with two mere defence words Killian smiled inwardly from where he sat. He knew that his Queen was not a pushover and if those sneaky old bastards wanted to convict her wrongfully just to get rid of her, they would be sorry asses.He trusted that she could take care of herself but if a point came and he ha
