Still Mavericks POV“I’m sorry, did I miss something?I mean, you two look so good together and all that, but I think we should get right down to business. Don’t you think so Mr. Mackenzie?” I grunted out in disgust he kissed her as if his life depended on it. They broke off at the sound of my voice, and I noticed the blush on her cheeks as she looked into his eyes, smiling brightly.“I’m deeply sorry for keeping you waiting, Mr. Huntington. I was simply taken by surprise, I haven’t seen this damsel since she left Lakewood city a few years ago. We share a lovely past, and I would certainly love to rekindle our old love.” He let out excitedly, causing everyone in the boardroom to chuckle at their love story. I mean, everyone except me. I just don’t see why they are all giggling like idiots. This is not true love, this love is not meant to last. She will never be happy without me, he can never love her like I do. “I understand love, Mr. Mackenzie. As a matter of fact, I am a fan of you
Harold Armstrong POVIt was a cold night. The half-moon sat high up in the sky, shining brightly on us, and amplifying our supernatural abilities. Everyone was busy, so busy. It is said that the Alpha has finally decided to take a step toward his life long commitment to Cameron. Everyone knows how they got to be together in the first place, they know that Alpha Maverick would rather drown to death than get hitched to her. The hall was packed full of spectators who came from far and near. Some were there to witness the event and offer their support and blessings, while the others were simply waiting for the Alpha to call it all off and give them a good reason to laugh to their satisfaction. While the preparation was going on, something else was going down in the secret basement that leads to the golden throne of the true Alpha king. There was a secret meeting between the king and his evil accomplice, Harold Armstrong. “Do not dare me, Harold!I don’t take well to threats, you have n
Still Harold Armstrong's POVHe sought out a poor family from the line of healers, they were a family of four, and they are well gifted in the art of healing. The Amaruks were neither rich nor poor, they were one of the best healers in the city, but they do not use their abilities to earn money for themselves, they view their gifts as a blessing from the moon goddess and they simply use their gifts to help the people. They are as pathetic as the king, and easy to fool because they are very gullible. When he discovered that the Amaruks could give him what he wants, he pulled the close and showered them with gifts, trying to earn their trust. He offers the father a job that would fetch him enough money to cater for his wife and two kids. His son was seven years old and his daughter was just a suckling child. He claimed to be interested in their welfare, but he simply wanted to use them to achieve his desires. He delayed his plans for a few months, trying to get them to trust him. Duri
Valerie’s POVI’ve always known that Liam is a party boy. I mean, what do you expect from a guy who leads the popular team in school?He is the most handsome guy among his group, and he is the heir to a multi-billion dollar company. He has the money to spend, and he has the looks that girls desire. So I’m pretty sure you understand what I’m trying to say. He is a party boy, and he sure knows how to make a woman feel so special.He asked me out on a date after the meeting, and I accepted his offer because I thought my boss would let me hang out with him, seeing as he is so excited about this deal. But no, the arrogant bastard wouldn’t let me have fun with this guy. Maverick is ready to lose this deal as long as it gets Liam away from me. Like, I don’t even understand this guy, am I supposed to be his PA or his girlfriend?“I respect you a lot, Liam. But she ain’t screwing you, I won’t allow it. If you signed this deal so you could screw my staffers, then I think you got it all wrong br
Still Valerie’s POVI have not laughed this hard in a while, gosh it’s so hilarious. If I knew this was going to be so much fun, I would have tried it before now. I think this is a new way to provoke him every fucking day I’ll just say something very annoying through our mind link and ill assume that he is hearing me. He can deny our bond as much as he likes, but I’m not denying what I feel anymore. I’ll push him to admit his feeling, I’ll make him fight for our love. But wait, will that get us in trouble?What if someone senses my powers and, and what if my wolf is discovered, will our enemies come after me, will they try to kill me as he said?Well, I’ll have to decide if this risk is worth it, I wouldn’t want to get noticed by the wrong people, and I certainly do not want to destroy his plans for it. He said he is being watched and monitored at all times, could that be his reason for acting this way, does it justify his actions?Hmmmmm…Sometimes I don’t even know what to think, it
Still Valerie’s POVI thought he would be concerned about my outfit, I was a bit surprised when he didn’t flinch, he just turned around and walked towards the door, leaving me behind him. I smiled to myself as I watched him leave, he has no fucking idea what I’m going to do tonight. I pulled my hair u in a messy bun, and I put on my black stilettos, then I followed after him to his Porsche that is packed in the packing lot.He seems lost in thought, and he looks kind of pissed. I have no idea what could have happened between the time I left him to go dress up and now. Whatever it is, it seems to be making him restless, and I think it’s pretty serious. He is trying to hide his feelings, but I saw through his disguise, and even if it’s not supposed to be my business, I still care about him. I wish I know what is bothering him, I wish I can help.I spotted Cameron standing outside the club, waiting for him. She is dressed in a red body-hugging, silicon dress that gives her a sultry look.
Mavericks POVSomething is wrong…This Liam guy is lying to us, he is lying to Valerie as well. I can feel it in my bones, he is not here for a business collaboration like he claims, he is here for something else, I just haven’t figured out what his reasons are. I caught a whiff of his scent when I stepped into the conference room for my meeting, but I didn’t think too much about it because I assumed that the lycans had snuck in here while I was away. I mean, there is no way he could be meeting with the lycans, at least that is what I thought initially.But when we shook hands to seal the deal, I felt a strange aura around him, and I got hit with that foul stench again. I can not mistake that scent, I’ve spent so many years around the lycans, and I’m pretty sure that I can recognize their aura and scent anywhere. You see, each individual has his own aura scent, depending on your nature and attitude. But as a species, all lycans have one distinct scent and aura that alerts you to their
Still Mavericks POVYou see, at first, I want paying much attention to what was going on in this room. I was coordinating with my scientist to get some work done before I cancel my deal with the Mackenzies. I want to take advantage of this deal before it goes sour, I’m pretty sure that their true nature will surface pretty soon, and this business collaboration will come to an end. But before that happens, I want my guys to make use of their lab at least for one day. I am pretty sure that they will find the missing component needed to complete that substance and make it potent enough to take down a lycan. We would make bullets out of it, and one bullet is all it would take to kill a lycan. I kept tapping endlessly on my phone, coordinating their mission. Cameron was trying to get her hands into my pants, but I was not in the mood for any of that. Actually, since I got scolded by Valerie, I think something in me broke, and now, I can’t seem to get it up for her anymore. She had accused
Valerie’s POV“Wake up, sleepy head. It’s almost noon!” Maverick nudged me, trying to get me to wake up.“Go away, I just fell asleep an hour ago!” I respond sleepily, hearing him laugh so hard that you would think that he was at a comedy show.“And what were you doing all night?” He teased me, coming up to lay beside me on the bed, pulling me into his arms, and kissing me so passionately. “You’ve got your answer, Mav. You are the reason I was awake all night. Now fuck off, I need to sleep.” I responded sleepily, turning away from him, but he pulled me back into his arms, trapping me between his legs, kissing me more fervently with his hands on my boobs. He held me so close, letting me feel his erection. His hands on my body, and his lips on mine are enough to wipe the sleep off.“Don’t be like that, my love. I’m only trying to grant your wishes, besides, you weren’t complaining last night, were you?All day and all night, I’ll be here to protect you, I’ll never leave your side, my l
Mavericks POV“We don’t have time to argue and fight, they are so close to finding us. If we ever want to break the curse, it’s now or never!” Devon let out firmly, leaving no room for argument. I tipped my head to gaze at her curiously, trying to figure out what she meant when she said it was now or never. At that moment, we heard an explosion from the other side of the basement, and I know immediately that she is right this time. If we don’t get it done right now, we may never have the chance to be in this basement again because they would have brought it down with their explosives.“Follow my lead and chant with me,” she ordered Val, sounding a bit bossy, or is that fear I hear in her voice?“No, Dev. I need you to follow our lead, and I need you to keep shut and observe. I would tell you when it’s time to chant the spell of compassion to the moon.” Val told her firmly, making her a bit shocked. She thought Valerie is just a child that knows nothing about the healers and their ways
Still Devon’s POV“What the hell, Devon!Why would you barge in on us like that?You scared the hell out of me, what is wrong with you?” Maverick asked me angrily when I used open the door and walked in without prior notice. Hell, I didn’t even knock to alert them of my presence because I’m so fucking mad at them. Could you believe that while I was being chased by Harold Armstrong and King Gerald, these two were in this basement having so much fun, screwing their brains out. Like, how could they be comfortably banging each other when the world is about to end. I know this is necessary for the ritual to work, their mating and bonding is part of the ritual and that is why I stood out there waiting for them to be done with it. But they just wouldn’t stop, they kept going on and on and on, and even when they heard the sounds coming from the other end of the basement, they still wouldn’t stop. I couldn’t wait any longer it seems they can’t get enough of each other, and even if I stand out
Devon POV“Leave and never look back again.”That was the plan when I left that garage. I felt so embarrassed to be outsmarted by that child. She knows nothing about magic, she is not worthy. I can be a better sorcerer, I am the last witch and I have what it takes to stop this war. But her pride and greed got the better of her, or maybe it is because she has fallen deeply in love with Maverick. I don’t know what her reasons are, but she wouldn’t give up her powers to me, even if she knows that she can not perform the ritual on her own, when doesn’t even know the words of the spell.Yet she refused…“The only reason you are still breathing is because of the bond we share. Unlike you, I still try to play by the rules. I know it’s a crime if I take the life of another shapeshifter or human. So I’m going to say this only once, and I hope you don’t let me repeat myself. Let my words sink into that thick skull of yours. It’s either you join our team or you fuck off, stick with me or stay the
Still Valerie’s POVHis mouth left my nipples, moving up to my neck, I felt his canines on my marking spot, making me see stars, and that is when the real magic occurred…First, I saw stars, I mean, that's all it took to push me down the edge, making me gush more of my sweet juices between my thighs. Then we heard howls in the air like all the wolves suddenly woke up from their slumber. The howls kept coming from different directions, sounding so blissful to the ears. It felt like nothing I’d heard before, the howls wouldn’t stop sounding. When one stopped, another picked up from there, and they howled to the moon, making the moment more blissful and magical. It’s not night yet, and the moon is not yet out. But I can feel the presence of the moon already, and bi knows we must be doing it right because I feel so relieved already. It felt like a huge weight has just been lifted off my shoulders. I wanted to know what was happening out there, I want to see if the howls were coming from t
Valerie’s POVHe’s been acting so beautifully since we had that little talk. We bared our hearts to each other, and now we can see that our bond is stronger than it used to be. In fact, now I understand why it took me little time to settle in nicely in this city. This is my city, my home, and it’s so good to be back here with my memories intact. It’s all coming back to me, it’s now beginning to make sense in my head. After shopping for everything we needed, I led him to a secret entrance to the basement and he was so who led because he had no idea that this place existed.I smiled in amazement as I imagined myself playing in these woods as a child. I even saw my mom walking excitedly in this courtyard as she performed her rituals as if her life depended on it. There were other kids in this courtyard with me. I’m guessing they are my sibling or just friend. But we were all happy together and we watched in awe as our parents carry out some experiments with magic.“This is so beautiful, m
Still Mavericks POVCenturies ago, Lakewood and Woodbridge were not separate, it was just huge city that is densely populated by both humans and Werewolves. The lycans and vampires did not allow humans to live around them. We could accommodate the humans because they were of help to us after we lost our powers. We needed the numbers because we couldn’t defend ourselves from all our numbers enemies.We lived peacefully with the humans, my great-grandfather was king and we had the most beautiful pack house in all of the city. Our pack lived in Lakewood, and the mayor's mansion used to be our pack house before we were kicked out of the damn city. The other Alphas moved away after we were cursed by the moon goddess, but we refused to move away because we need to preserve our heritage. The packhouse held many secrets and secret powers that could never be replaced or abandoned.Woodbridge used to be a little city outside our city. It was at Woodbridge that the healers settled in. I could rem
Mavericks POVAt first, I was pissed, I was so fucking pissed, like what the hell is wrong with her, why would she tell me to ditch my guards, is she a traitor or a spy, did king Gerald get to her before me, has she been deceiving me all this while?I had too many questions on my mind, but no answer because I simply don’t know why she is sounding so crazy when our lives are in danger. I guess she was right when she said that I don’t trust her. The truth is that I don’t believe that she is capable of breaking this curse. To me, she is still that naïve girl that didn’t even know her true identity. I’m in being completely honest, I would admit that a part of me wanted her to relinquish her powers to Devon the white witch. I don’t know why I suddenly have this doubt within me, maybe Devon's words are getting to me the wrong way. In any case, I think Devon was right when she said that Val is not fit to wield such power. She knows absolutely nothing about magic and her gifts, she only relies
Still Valerie’s POV “Damn! This is bad! I’m literally shaking in fear, Malia. Are you sure we can do this, are we ready for this?” I asked my wolf, but she wouldn’t say a word to me. I nearly scream in rage as she ignored me, sometimes she can be so damn annoying. I’m sure she would have responded so quickly if this question was being asked by Maverick or his wolf, Hunter. She makes it look like I'm the stupid one who doesn’t understand how the mating bond works. Yeah, while that may be true, I still need to get her to listen to me and speak to me like she used to when it was just both of us. But she couldn’t care less about my feelings, she doesn’t even care if I’m jealous of her relationship with Hunter and Maverick. She still does everything to please and satisfy her mate, and when I get bored or scared and begin asking my many questions, all she would say to me is, “You are stronger than you can ever imagine. You haven’t discovered all your abilities yet because you don’t let
