Maya’s Point of View"Enjoy your last night, Avery," I whispered to myself. "Tomorrow, your world will end."**********The morning sun streamed through my window, painting the walls of my room in a warm golden hue. But that wasn’t the source of my glow today. No, today, my joy came from the knowledge that by nightfall, Avery would be nothing more than a memory. I hummed to myself as I got ready, a rare skip in my step that even I couldn’t suppress.For weeks, the tension in the pack had been thick, my plans meticulously unfolding beneath the surface. But today, I was free, free to bask in the anticipation of my enemy’s demise. It was going to be a glorious day.As I descended the stairs, I noticed the maids exchanging curious glances. Their confusion was almost comical. I could feel their eyes on me as I breezed past them, my energy too high to care about their whispers.“Good morning, Miss Maya,” one of them greeted hesitantly.“Good morning, Amelia!” I replied with a dazzling smile
Maya’s Point of View“Alpha!! I bring bad news”As I stood before Kaiden in the grand council room, I poured every ounce of effort into my performance. My voice quivered at just the right moments, my hands trembled as I gestured to the blood-stained dress, and my eyes brimmed with unshed tears. I painted the picture vividly: the rogues, their brutality, my futile fight to protect Avery against herself but had no choice than t kill her.But Kaiden... his reaction wasn’t what I expected.He leaned back in his chair, his expression unreadable, arms crossed over his broad chest as if he were watching a tedious play. He didn’t interrupt, didn’t ask questions, didn’t even narrow his eyes in concern. He just sat there, his gaze cold and distant, as though my words were nothing more than white noise.My heart thudded painfully as doubt began to creep in. Why wasn’t he reacting? Why wasn’t he furious, commanding his warriors to act, to hunt down the rogues who had dared step foot in his pack?
Maya’s Point of ViewThe moment I stepped into my room, I bolted the door behind me and leaned against it, my breath shallow and ragged. My reflection in the mirror was unrecognizable, pale, shaken, and drenched in fear.I sank to the floor, burying my face in my trembling hands. If Kaiden found out the truth, then it was over. Everything I had worked for, everything I had schemed for, it would all crumble, leaving me at his mercy. And Kaiden had no mercy for traitors.I couldn’t let that happen.By nightfall, a plan had formed, though the thought of executing it churned my stomach. Dren needed to be silenced, and there was only one way to get to him, through the dungeon guard.The filthy bastard.I dressed simply, a dark cloak covering my figure as I made my way to the dungeon. The night air was cold, biting against my skin, but it wasn’t enough to numb the dread gnawing at my insides.The guard’s quarters were dimly lit, the flickering light of a single bulb casting long shadows acr
Maya’s Point of ViewThe day I had dreaded more than any other had finally arrived. The air in the pack’s hall was heavy, almost suffocating, as I stood among the crowd of pack members, my heart hammering in my chest. My hands were clammy, my palms slick with sweat, and I found myself constantly wiping them against the folds of my dress.Kaiden had called for a public gathering, a rare and significant event. This wasn’t just another meeting; it was the day he had promised to root out the traitor. A cold shiver ran down my spine. I could feel eyes shifting in the crowd, whispers brushing against my ears like ghostly accusations.When the grand doors opened and Kaiden stepped into the hall, the atmosphere shifted instantly. The Alpha King’s presence demanded obedience, reverence. Everyone, myself included, stood and bowed deeply, murmuring, “Your Highness.”His power rolled off him in waves, so palpable it made the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end.He strode toward his throne a
Kaiden’s Point of ViewAvery sat across from me, her fragile frame wrapped in a thick blanket, her pale skin glowing under the dim light of my chamber. To anyone else, she might have looked frail, but to me, she had never seemed more radiant. Her silken hair cascaded down her back like strands of starlight, tempting me to reach out and let my fingers tangle in its softness.But I held back.She wasn’t ready. She had yet to acknowledge me as her mate, and I didn’t want to do anything that might scare her away. So, instead, I clenched my fists and listened intently as she recounted her ordeal with the rogues, her voice soft but steady.The more she spoke, the harder it became to maintain my composure. The thought of anyone laying a hand on her made my blood boil. My wolf growled low in my chest, demanding retribution. But I forced myself to remain calm for her sake.“…and then I passed out, I don’t know what happened after that,” she finished, her hands trembling slightly as she rested
Kaiden’s Point of ViewAs soon as Caspian and Laura left, the room felt quieter, almost too still. Avery shifted slightly in my lap, her movements hesitant, like she wasn’t sure if she should be there. Then, with a soft sigh, she tried to stand.I tightened my grip around her waist, gently pulling her back down. “Stay put, Snowy,” I murmured, my voice low but firm.Her body stiffened for a moment, but then she sighed again, this time in reluctant obedience. She settled back against me, though her posture was still a bit stiff. I smirked at how hard she was trying not to appear comfortable.After a moment, she turned her head to look up at me, her eyes filled with curiosity. “Why didn’t you just go after her?” she asked, her tone cautious but inquisitive. “You know she’s the culprit. Why not end it now?”I tilted my head slightly, studying her. The way she spoke, so earnestly, so unaware of the complexity of power and strategy, made her seem both naïve and endearing. I allowed a small
Kaiden’s Point of ViewThe memory played vividly in my mind, starting with Avery. The moment I brought her home and laid her in my chambers, tending to her wounds, I knew I couldn’t delay. Once she was stable, I left her to rest and made my way to the dungeon.The rogue had been barely conscious when I arrived, his body slumped against the wall, his shoulders brutally disfigured where his arms had been severed. His blood had pooled beneath him, but his eyes still held a flicker of defiance.I stepped into the cell, my boots clicking against the stone floor as I approached him. He looked up at me, trying to muster a sneer, but his pain betrayed him.“Who sent you?” I asked, my tone calm, almost conversational.The rogue said nothing, his jaw tightening as if to steel himself against what was coming.I chuckled, low and dark. “It seems like you've forgotten who I am?” I leaned closer, locking eyes with him. “I am the Alpha King. I don’t need to try to get the information out of you. But
Julian’s Point of ViewThe wind howled through the desolate fields, carrying with it the stench of death and decay that clung to everything like a curse. I stood in the heart of the devastation, my chest tightening as I looked at what remained of my once-thriving pack.The vibrant greenery that once symbolized life and strength was gone, replaced by charred earth and skeletal remains of trees. Every step I took on the scorched ground was a grim reminder of the destruction I had brought upon my people.The packhouses that had once stood tall, filled with laughter and warmth, were now nothing but crumbling ruins. Their walls, blackened by fire, seemed to mourn the lives lost within them. I walked through the remnants of what used to be home, my boots crunching against shards of glass and splinters of wood. The air was thick, suffocating, heavy with despair.“How did it come to this?” I murmured, my voice barely audible over the howling wind.‘You know how, Julian,’ Dexter growled in my
Avery’s Point Of ViewA soft warmth wrapped around me, a delicious heat pressing against my back, making me feel cocooned in comfort. My eyes fluttered open, blinking against the golden light filtering through the cracks of the cave. My vision adjusted, and the first thing I saw was him.Kaiden’s face was inches away, his features relaxed in sleep, his dark lashes resting against his cheekbones. His messy raven-black hair fell over his forehead, and the soft rise and fall of his chest was soothing. I traced my fingers lightly across his sharp jawline, marveling at how someone could look this breathtaking even while sleeping. He seemed so… peaceful. So unlike the dominant, teasing menace he usually was.I sighed, shifting slightly, but the moment I moved, I realized something.I was trapped in his embrace.Kaiden's strong arms were wrapped securely around my waist, my body pressed flush against his bare chest. His warmth seeped into my skin, and for a moment, I just lay there, too stunn
Narrator’s Point Of ViewIN THE CELESTIAL REALMThe ethereal glow of the Celestial Realm bathed Selene and Venus in a soft, silver radiance. They stood side by side, their celestial robes flowing like liquid stardust, gazing down into the mortal world where Kaiden and Avery were lost in the whirlwind of desire.Venus smirked as she observed the Alpha holding himself back, his touch reverent, his kisses worshipful. She folded her arms, amusement twinkling in her golden eyes."It’s working," she murmured, a knowing smile curving her lips. "Your boy is making a move."Selene nodded but didn’t respond immediately. Her gaze remained distant, thoughtful, as if she were peering beyond what Venus could see.Venus frowned. "Selene?"The Moon Goddess finally spoke, her voice soft but laced with something heavy. "The girl has met her wolf."Venus sucked in a sharp breath, her playful demeanor momentarily faltering. "That means she’s close… close to unlocking her celestial heritage."Selene gave a
Warning: Mature Erotic Contents AheadKaiden’s Point Of ViewAvery was bare in my arms, slick from the water, every inch of her soft, warm skin pressing into me. Her violet eyes were heavy with desire, her lips swollen from my kisses. She was stunning, otherworldly, mine. And she didn’t even know it yet.I tightened my grip on her, feeling the rapid beat of her heart against my chest. Without warning, I slammed my lips onto hers, drawing a sharp gasp from her. I seized the moment, slipping my tongue past her parted lips, claiming her in a way that left no room for hesitation. She tasted like wild honey and something uniquely hers—intoxicating, addictive. Her fingers tangled in my hair, her nails grazing my scalp as I deepened the kiss, pulling her impossibly closer.My hands roamed freely, tracing the curve of her spine, the dip of her waist, the round swell of her hips.Avery whimpered, her hands flying to my shoulders, gripping me as though I was the only thing keeping her from fal
Kaiden’s Point of View"He was my former mate… but he rejected me."A dangerous silence fell between us.A mate. That word alone sent something bitter and venomous coursing through my veins. He was her mate. No. He had been her mate. And he had rejected her. But he hadn’t just rejected her. He had hurt her.Left marks on her.Broke her.Slade was furious. He snarled inside my head, his rage intertwining with mine. ‘He touched what’s ours.’I clenched my jaw, my grip tightening instinctively before I forced myself to loosen it.I was pissed. No, I was beyond pissed.But I wasn’t about to scare her.Not now.Not when she had finally told me the truth.I exhaled sharply, trying to calm the storm inside me. "He rejected you," I repeated, as if saying it out loud would make me understand why this bastard had given up something as rare and precious as her.Avery gave me a small nod.I reached up, running a hand through my wet hair, trying to keep my rage in check."And he’s still breathing
Kaiden’s Point of ViewThe meeting had been dragging on for far too long.I leaned back in my chair, my fingers drumming against the polished wood of the table. My patience was wearing thin, and Dalton—gods, Dalton wouldn’t shut up about the new defense strategies he was proposing."We need to reinforce the eastern border," he was saying, his deep voice laced with caution. "There have been rumors of rogue movements……"I barely heard the rest.Beside him, Caspian sat with his usual calm demeanor, flipping through a list of names. "Five packs have broken the rules this month alone," he muttered, his tone exasperated. "Three failed to pay their tributes, one harbored a fugitive, and another had the audacity to….."I sighed, rolling my eyes. I don’t have time for this.All I wanted was to go back home.To her.To Avery.‘Since when has our well-behaved Alpha started behaving like a lovesick boy?’Slade’s amused voice rang through my head, and I groaned inwardly.‘Keep on teasing me, you o
Avery’s Point of ViewThe house was too quiet.The kind of silence that made every creak of the floorboards sound like a whisper in the dark. The kind that pressed in on me, wrapping around me like a heavy cloak. I sighed, stretching my arms over my head as I lay on the plush couch, staring at the high ceiling. The chandelier above twinkled softly, casting golden patterns across the walls, but it didn’t make the emptiness feel any less suffocating.Kaiden had left earlier that morning, saying he needed to return to the pack to handle some things. “To avoid suspicion,” he had said. Right. As if anyone would suspect anything if he just stayed with me a little longer.I huffed, rolling onto my side and clutching a pillow.“How long does it take to handle pack matters, you jerk?” I muttered under my breath.I wasn’t even sure why I was so annoyed. It wasn’t like I wanted him around. Right?A name flickered in my mind like a whisper carried by the wind.Lynexia.I froze.That dream. The o
Maya’s Point of ViewNightfall had arrived, and with it came the final stage of my plan.I stood in front of my mirror, staring at the woman reflected back at me. A woman dressed to kill—literally.The dress I had chosen was black, silk-like liquid against my skin, hugging every curve in a way that screamed temptation. The plunging neckline barely covered my chest, and the high slit exposed a sinful amount of leg. Underneath, I wore nothing. Not a scrap of fabric. Just as he had requested.The fool.I reached for my most expensive perfume, the one that made men weak in the knees, and dabbed it along my pulse points—my neck, my wrists, the valley of my breasts. The intoxicating scent filled the room, wrapping around me like a seductive spell.One special thing about this perfume was that it didn’t just make men weak in the knees, it concealed my scent entirely. A rare, potent blend crafted from moonshade flowers and wolfsbane, designed to seal the wearer's natural smell. No wolf, no m
Maya’s Point of ViewBut even as I stormed out of the Pack House, I could still feel the weight of his gaze on my back. And deep inside my mind, Cinder howled in anguish.‘I did the right thing’, I told myself. ‘I don’t need a mate. I already have everything I’ve ever wanted.’But as I walked, I noticed something.Footsteps.Soft but deliberate.I clenched my jaw, my wolf instincts prickling at the realization. He’s following me.I growled lowly, a warning. It wasn’t loud, but it was firm. A clear message: Stay away from me.Yet, the footsteps didn’t stop.I came to an abrupt halt, spinning on my heel. Sure enough, there he was, Lucas, standing a few feet away, his hazel eyes locked onto mine, an infuriatingly calm expression on his face.I narrowed my eyes. “Why are you following me?” I demanded, my voice sharp.Lucas only smiled. A small, knowing smirk that made my blood boil. “Nothing,” he said casually. “Just wanted to know my mate more.”I felt something inside me snap. My hands
Maya’s Point of ViewI had to leave. I had to get away before my life spiraled further out of control.I took a step forward. Then another.But before I could take a third step, a strong hand shot out and grabbed my arm from behind, yanking me to a sudden halt.I gasped, spinning around, my eyes blazing with fury. “Who the hell……”My words died on my tongue when I locked eyes with him.A tall, broad-shouldered man stood in front of me. His build was strong, but he wasn’t as imposing as Kaiden. His skin was a smooth tan, his hair jet black and slightly tousled, and his piercing hazel eyes bore into mine with an intensity that sent an unexpected shiver through me. His chiseled jaw clenched, as if he was holding something back, and his breathing was slightly uneven.Then he spoke.“Mate.”A single word. One that made my entire world stop.My chest tightened. My heart pounded violently against my ribs. My vision blurred for a moment before I forced myself to focus.I took a sharp step ba
