MAYA

Wedding? The next month? How's that even possible? Isn't it too soon? And why do I have zero clue about anything?

I looked at Samuel. He looked excited about the wedding while I was clueless. At first the engagement and now wedding? Wasn't he going to fast? I wasn't even prepared for any of this. I didn't even know if I wanted to marry. I wanted to scream No to him, I wanted to say that, No, I don't want to marry you, Samuel. But I couldn't, I don't know why, but I just couldn't.

"Congratulations, Mate!" I heard Kaiser's words.

I looked at Kaiser, he was smiling but I don't know how, but I could sense the discomfort in his eyes. It was confusing to me. Why do I feel like he isn't happy about my marriage but the fact that we met just today was bothering me more.

"Thanks!" Samuel chirped.

"Come on, baby. Let's go," He then turned towards me and placed his hand on my waist.

I looked at him, surprised by his actions and I was about to say something, but then, once again, my head sta

    MAYA"That thing there. Your heart. It knows what you should do to be happy. So do listen to your heart, Maya. It will tell you what's right and what's wrong," Kaiser said with a smile.The moment he said that I couldn't move my eyes away from him. His mild smile felt like he had tales to tell and I wanted to hear it all. I had met him just a day ago, but I don't know why, I felt like I have had known him for ages. I barely knew him, yet my heart felt safe and happy around him.The way he spoke, his eyes expressed a lot more than his words. He looked like someone who doesn't give two damns about this world, especially girls, but I don't know why, I felt like he felt a certain comfort around me. At least I did. The way he cared about me, even though if seemed like friendly intentions, it felt extremely special to me. It touched my heart.I smiled at his words, the way he comforted me just by a mere few words made me feel vague, and then, all of a sudden, one realisation hit me. My head

    KAISER"I don't think so anyone from this lab has been using Wolfsbane," Paul muttered."How can you say that?" I asked, looking at him.As much as I knew Paul, he never made conclusions before verifying the facts. This was very unusual of him. So the sudden conclusion that he made surprised me."I mean, we did search the lab nicely and most importantly, we do have super senses, if there would have been any presence of wolfsbane, we would have sniffed it," he argued.Well, his argument did make sense. We couldn't sniff anything unusual. But there was something different in this lab, even though I couldn't sniff it but I could feel it."Yeah. I know. But since we're interns. We will have to stay for three months," I replied."From when did you care about this internship? I know you Kais! You can manipulate the shit out of people and we would be good to go." Paul's tone had a certain level of suspicion. He just stared at me."Well! There's something I need to tell you," I sighed. I ha

    MAYAI was trying to sleep when my phone rang. I checked the caller, it was Samuel. I rolled my eyes and picked up the phone. I didn't want to talk to him right now but I had no other option."Hello," I muttered."Hey baby, what are you doing?" He questioned in an enthusiastic voice."Trying to get some sleep," I plainly replied."Don't you have time to talk to your fiancee?" He questioned in a tone as if he is offended."Samuel, I have work to do. I have a lot of work in the lab, I have to hit the gym to clear my head. You know my schedule is pretty packed up and you have known this for years, and still, you're complaining about this?" I argued.I had no mood to tolerate his bullshit, but I had to keep my calm and tolerate it a bit."Calm down baby! Chill. Why are you getting offended?" He got defensive."Am I? You know me, Sam," I scoffed."Yeah. Yeah. Sorry. You're a busy woman. Anyways, after a month, when you will be my wife, all these complaints regarding lack of time will fade

    KAISERI had to explore the vulnerable side of Maya to get under her skin. She was intriguing me enough and it was somehow forcing me to get to know her at any cost. So now, I had to know everything about her, and for that, I couldn't use my supernatural powers.She was making me weak, and to know the reason for my weakness, I had to make her weak in every way possible. I had to make her vulnerable.There were certain things that I knew, first that she is my mate and it led me to a gateway of her heart. Even though she is a human, and she might fall in love with someone else, but the fact that I am her mate, I can easily reach her heart, because somehwhere deep the line, we're meant to be together and the moon Goddess will try every other thing to make sure that we stick together. So bow, I had to get close to her.And for that, last night I went to her home. From the time I spent with her, I got to know one thing. This girl is struggling, she is struggling with so many issues that I

    KAISERI immediately left her hand and walked a couple of steps backwards. I couldn't believe it. How could this be possible? No wolf has ever met his death due to his mate, so what's this? So what did that mean? How could it be like that?I saw a couch, thinking about whatever happened just now. It made me feel restless and I couldn't control my emotions at all. I quickly sat on the couch, and tried to calm myself down. I was feeling extremely uneasy and worried now."You're overthinking, Kaiser. It's nothing like that," Ash tried to calm me."Are you mad Ash? There was complete darkness. What else could it be?" I retorted."Yeah, but that doesn't mean it's death over there," he argued."What do you mean?" I questioned."She is getting married in less than a month. Maybe, you couldn't imagine a future with her because you have no future with her. Once she gets married, there won't be any chance for you. She will be someone else's wife and you will be moving on for the search for Wolf

    KAISERI had to drop Maya somewhere safe and return to them. These two were the wolves, and they did try to harm Maya. I won't spare them. I won't spare anyone who dares to harm my mate."Maya," I muttered.I noticed her lost in something as we were walking. She looked confused and maybe tired too."Mhmm?" She was interrupted from her trance and looked at me."Are you okay?" I asked, looking at her. Day by day, I was getting more concerned about her. She was worrying me a lot."I think so," she replied."Your headache?" I asked.She stared at me in confusion. Maybe she didn't know that I figured out that she's suffering from headache."What happened?" She questioned.I smiled."I have noticed that you tend to develop a headache whenever you're in trouble or stressed. So that's why I asked," I replied in a soft tone."Oh! Yeah, I don't have a headache now. I mean, I had developed it, but after you came, it somehow vanished," she replied with a smile."Really?" I was surprised by her w

    KAISERThe moment her words hit my ears, I was in a complete state of panic and shock."You would never say a word about death. Not at any cost," I growled.I don't know why, but the feeling of losing her made me angry. I can't lose her at any cost. She stood up and looked at me."What more can I do? You have no idea how horrible the headache I get. Trust me that," she shouted at me."Tell me, how horrible does it get?" I questioned, looking at her.I wanted to know how horrible it is, because no matter the amount of pain she would be in, how could she even think of giving up on her life?"It's like someone is slamming a stone constantly on your head. And the pain is brutal," she cried out.I looked around, and that's when my eyes fell on a rock. I picked the rock up. I had gone maniac, I didn't even know what was I doing now."It's like slamming a rock on your head? Right?" I questioned."Kaiser!" She spoke.I looked at her, I could notice the panic in her eyes, but at that time, I

    ASH As I was growling at them, looking through my fierce eyes, I witnessed them trembling with fear as they should have."I am sorry. We... We had no idea she was your mate. We are so sorry," one of the guys whined.Their whining wasn't going to affect me. If I hadn't reached there, I had no idea what they would have done to Maya. They would have hurted her, violated her and killed her. I can't let the visuals of them hurt Maya away from my mind. No one is allowed to hurt my mate at any cost, and if someone thinks of doing the unthinkable, I would make sure that person gets an appropriate punishment.I slowly approached towards them, with my aggressive undertone. I wasn't going to spare them or let them go. As I got nearer to them, I saw them taking their positions, as they were breaking their bones while whining and howling. They were turning in front of me. I witnessed them turning into their respective wolves. So, they wanted a fight! Fine, the alpha king can fight these peasants

    Six Months Later MAYA "It's Kaiser's birthday, Paul. I want everything to be perfect," I chirped as I checked the decorations. "It will be, Maya," he responded. It's been months since we are married and we're living a peaceful life. Everything is perfect between us and that made me happier. Kaiser made me the alpha, and to my surprise, everyone in the pack happily accepted my position. Everyone began to love me, to accept me as their own and it made my heart full with joy. I now had a family of my own, and what more I would need. The pack thrived and we just lived happily in love and pleasure. I walked into my room, to see if Kaiser is ready. "Birthday boy, are you ready? We're getting late for the party," I muttered. And then, Kaiser turned around. I looked at him, and I was lost in him. He looked extremely handsome, and I felt like I would fall for him once again. "What happened?" He teased me. "You look handsome," I winked. "Oh really," he held my hand and pulled me clo

    KAISER I witnessed the man I thought to be my mentor die in front of my eyes. But his death was well deserved, he fed the entire pack lies and just because we considered him as our mentor, we believed every word that he had to say. After Marshall was dead, I walked towards Dad. I tapped his shoulders. Maya stayed there, maybe she wanted me to decide the optimal punishment for Dad. I nodded at her, assuring her that I would not disappoint her. "I am sorry, son. I am so sorry," he cried, holding my hands. "I trusted the wrong person. I believed him, and did whatever he said," he sobbed. "You knew he was wrong, yet you helped him. That's your mistake, dad," I muttered. He held my hand tightly and was crying. "From the beginning, you know you were wrong. I couldn't respect you because of this, Dad," I spoke. I helped him stand up and looked at him. He was crying, and I did feel sympathy for him, but I had to decide on an optimal punishment for him as the king. "For the first tim

    REGINA "One bite. And your alpha dies a brutal death," I howled unwillingly. After that, I placed my teeth right on Kaiser's neck. I had to bite him lightly so that he doesn't die but the wound should look serious. I cursed myself, because whatever I did, it included playing with Kaiser's life, and it was torturous for me. I was about to bite him when I heard a voice. "STOP!" It was Thomas. I looked at him. "Don't kill him. I... I surrender. I will confess everything that we did. Just don't kill him," he begged. I stopped. This was the plan, to make them confess. It was all our plan. The war, the attack on Kaiser, everything, so that Thomas confesses his crimes to his people. And now, he will. "Great! But you aren't going to confess here," I growled. I had to make sure everyone in the pack knew about his deeds. No matter how strong I had the urge to kill him, I wanted the pack to decide his punishment, because that would be much more deserved by him."Then... Then?" He asked.

    THOMASAfter warning all of us, Kaiser went straight to his room, leaving me and Marshall alone.I rushed to Marshall."Have you gone nuts? Why did you mention the rogues in front of Kaiser? He would never allow them," I scoffed."Yes. But the only way we can win this war is by including the rogues," Marshall answered."But how? Whichever pack she belongs to, she is a newly transitioned wolf. She is not going to have so many powers that she can fight a hundred and fifty wolves. I do not want to kill her," I argued.Marshall looked at me."You still don't want to kill her? Thomas, have you gone crazy? She waged a war against us, which means she very well knows whatever we did to her pack. If we don't kill her, she would kill us," he argued."So let her kill us. It's been so long. I am tired of this life. Let my son live and love the woman. She is his mate. For god's sake, make this little sacrifice," I retorted."He is your son. Not mine. And I am not a fool, who will die on a battlefi

    PAUL"What? Are you joking?"I was shocked by Kaiser's answer. Maya is waging a war against us? Why would she want to do that? Didn't she want to become a part of our pack? What's happening?"I wish I could joke," I heard Kaiser's reply in a devastated tone.I looked at Kaiser, he looked torn between his love and his duty. I had never seen him like that ever."But... But her... Her fighting against... Against us... It... It will make her a rogue," Thomas spoke.I looked at Thomas, and his reaction surprised me. He was sweating and looked nervous as if he was trying to hide something."It won't. I and Maya, we aren't married by now," Kaiser responded."But why? Why would she want to wage a war? Didn't she want to be included in our pack till earlier this day?" I asked Kaiser.I wasn't being able to figure out what was happening. All of a sudden, so much chaos, it was confusing to me."She still wants to be included in her pack, but before that, she wants to fulfil the duty of being an

    MAYAMaybe whatever I was saying to Kaiser made no sense. Maybe me going against him wasn't a good idea. Maybe all of this, it's for nothing. But in all those maybes, there were a certain things I was sure about.My parents and my people were killed. I couldn't live with it. I couldn't marry Kaiser and dream of having a happy family with the killers of my parents. I had to fulfil my duties as a daughter. I would do that at any cost, and if that meant losing Kaiser, maybe I was ready for it."Maya! You will be going against me. I have to protect my people," he spoke in a shattered tone.I walked towards him. I knew this was hurting him a lot, and I would be lying if I said it wasn't hurting me as well.I cupped his face and my expression softened immediately. "I know this is tough, and I am sorry, baby. But, I have no other option," I spoke in the softest tone possible.After that, I pressed my lips against her, kissing her passionately.He kissed me back, with the same passion and

    KAISERMaya killed a wolf, with just a bite? How's that even possible?I looked at her, she looked panicked with whatever just happened now.I hugged her tightly."Kaiser. He... He is dead. How... How did this happen?" she asked, while stammering.I was quiet because, to be honest, even I didn't know the answer to it. "I have no idea," I weakly mumbled."I have an idea, Kaiser," Ash muttered."What?" I asked him."We should go back to the witches. They know about Maya's pack. We know nothing about it. They can tell us," he spoke.I didn't want to go back to the witches. I didn't believe a word of everything that they said and I kinda hated them because they made Maya angry. But Ash was right. If anyone could help us through this, it's the witches."Maya. I think we should go back to the witches and ask them about this," I spoke.She broke the hug and looked at me."What do you mean?" She asked."Whatever happened just now. It's not natural. I can't kill a wolf by just biting, but you

    MARSHALL"We have to kill the wolf! We have to kill Maya!"I uttered in panic as I could not think of any other way. There was no way I could let all my efforts go in vain."Kill her? Are you nuts? She is our son's mate, Marshall!" Thomas replied in an irked tone."So what? She is the last remaining of our enemy. Have you forgotten? They would have killed our entire pack?" I retorted.I couldn't even believe that Thomas was thinking about sparing her. I can't let a single wolf from the Mystic Shadow remain alive. They're a menace. I made sure every pup was killed by me, I just wondered how could even she make it alive? How did she stay hidden for so many years? How could my rogues not sniff her out. I have kept my rogues everywhere, be it human world or the woods. They were spread over the entire world. How could they even fail?"Would they have? Because for twenty eight years, I only kept wondering, that if we didn't kill them, would they have killed us?" Thomas spoke.I was surprise

    MAYA"W...what?" My voice trembled as I heard those names.Kaiser's father was the killer of my entire pack? He killed my pack, and my parents and I had to be raised as an orphan human kid. I wasn't even human."Yes. They were powerful, but that night, it was a lunar eclipse. The eclipse was covered with clouds, and whenever that happens, the Mystic Shadow are like every other werewolf. They don't remain as powerful as they should be. So, they took an advantage of that and massacred the entire pack, I including your parents," she told me.I lost my voice. I was startled by everything that I got to know. I didn't want to believe any of it, but the flashes of my past that I saw screamed in my ears that it wasn't a lie."Your parents wanted to save you, Maya. And that's why they brought you to us. The only way, they could have saved you, was that the wolves do not sniff your wolf form. And for that, I had to suppress your wolf form," she told me.I looked at her, and felt like I was gett
