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
Maya smiled beautifully to Luna Miranda. Two can play a game so if Luna wants to play, then she'll willingly Indulge her."That's not necessary Luna. We just had a lovers quarrel, which is very common among two people in a relationship." Maya replied.Luna Miranda, who was expecting Maya to freak out, was disappointed. She wanted Maya to acknowledge their conflict and cement the elders' suspicions of her involvement and at the same time use that opportunity to fan the flames.Who would have thought she would be so nonchalant about it? Weren't women supposed to turn poisonous once their lovers had any contact with another woman?According to Amber, Maya was so pissed off that she didn't want to see Killian. Was she pretending then or just good at masking her emotions? Whichever reason it was, Luna Miranda could tell that Maya was not any other woman, she was special. More reasons to have her for his son, Sebastian.The room fell silent after Maya's reply." So you mean to say that you
Killian pulled Maya away angrily, making his way to his car. After settling her on her seat, he took the driver's seat. He was about to ignite the engine when Maya stopped him." What's wrong? Are you mad at me?" She asked, looking him in the eyes.Running his hands through his hair, Killian sighed. " I'm not mad at you, I'm mad at her. Why did you have to accept her invitation?" Killian asked. He didn't want to play the nice son to someone who didn't deserve it. He would rather spend his day in bed, making love to his wife than grace his mother with his presence.Maya frowned." She is your mother, Killian." She reasoned out, hoping he could see sense as to why she accepted the invitation." I highly doubt she is." Killian spat. As long as he could remember, she never treated him as a son. He might as well be adopted or perhaps her bastard son whom she was ashamed of." You can't say that." Maya stopped him but he shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly." She never played mother to me
Killian pulled out of Maya before the two collapsed on the bed, panting heavily. He pushed back on her shoulder and held her against him as he looked down at her, a huge grin on his face.Maya panted as she rested her head on his chest. "Don't you think all the people already know what we are up to?" She asked.Killian had carried her bridal style as he hurried into his room. Everybody who saw them must have figured out what transpired next. "Yeah, they all know. But that doesn't mean I care." He smirked down at her.Maya giggled before she nuzzled back into his chest and closed her eyes. Killian smiled and laid his head down next to her as he stroked her head, loving the feeling of her hair in his hands." What you said earlier at the council..." Killian started but Maya interrupted him." I meant it. You saved me so I owe you my life. I would never hesitate to lay my life in the line just to save yours." Maya said but Killian shut her up with a kiss. When they pulled back, Killian
