Maya’s povI gaped at her. So they really did it. When Mark and Alpha Vince mentioned the random rogue sightings, I didn’t think they would actually attempt to attack the borders. I never thought they would be a threat to the security of Silverstone. In fact, it was the first time I had heard about a rogue attack. Even when I was in Moonshine, the rogues didn’t dare launch a calculated attack on an established pack. Capturing a rogue who was wandering a little too close to the pack’s premises wasn’t unheard of, but a full-blown attack? That was new. I inhaled a deep breath. “Where?” I asked. She shifted in her seat uncomfortably. “At the eastern side of the border. The guards are fighting against them, but I have to go there. Mark is already in his way.”I grabbed the steering wheel, my gaze locked on the road. “So to the eastern side?” I said. I didn’t know what I would do once I arrived at the scene. All I knew was that I wanted to help.“No,” Nancy said, to my surprise. I looke
Maya’s povWhat? Mate? No, it must be a mistake.I tried to deny it, but the minute his wolf started to walk towards me, I froze. It was as though the world around us stopped existing and we were all by ourselves. His aura got stronger with each step he took. His scent continued to pull me into a reverie, and it didn’t help that Eleanor kept calling him mate.So I was his mate? Not Rachel? Was that the reason he pushed her away? It gave me hope. Perhaps I still had a chance at having a happy ending. I gazed deeply into his emerald eyes, glistening in the moonlight. Everything came to a standstill when he stopped in front of me. If wolves could talk, Eleanor would have screamed at the top of her lungs. The entire forest seemed to remain silent as our wolves just stared at each other. My heart thumped in my chest as I wondered what went through his mind. If what Eleanor felt was true, his wolf also should be confirming that we were mates. The question was, would he want me as his luna
Vince’s povFinally! I was allowed to act on my desires. I held her soft body in my arms, careful not to hurt her. I didn’t want to see a single bruise on her pale skin. The only mark on it would be a mark of love. When she kissed me back, my heart fluttered in my chest. Yes! I had been yearning for that for so long. Ever since I found her, I had been subjugating my wolf and my heart, trying to ignore her enchanting scent of lavender, and reminding myself not to act on impulse every single day. I didn’t want to scare her. She had been through enough trauma already. All I wanted to do was love her. I wanted to show her what love was. I wanted to prove to her that the world wasn’t that bad.Her scent drove me crazy. I played with her lips using my tongue, trying to penetrate into her mouth. I wanted to taste her sweetness. She didn’t resist for long. Soon, our tongues were entangled in a synchronised tango. She wrapped her hands around me, pressing her soft breasts against my chest. I
Maya’s povLosing my V-card to him and getting marked in the woods felt surreal. For a moment, I thought it was a dream, but when I saw him sleeping beside me when I woke up the next day, I had to believe that it wasn’t my imagination. A smile curled on my lips as I watched the sleeping Greek god. I couldn’t believe that I was so lucky. All this time I was suppressing the feelings of attraction towards him. There was no need for that anymore. I could drool over his toned chest and abs to my heart’s content. My gaze travelled towards the ink on his body. I had always thought he looked spectacular with his tattoos. My favourite mark on his body, though, was the mark on the crook of his neck—the mark that branded him as mine. I giggled to myself. Mine! I actually had someone I could call mine. How wonderful.He stirred in his sleep, probably because of my giggles. After stretching his body, he opened his eyes, a smile spreading across his face as soon as he saw me awake. “Hey,” he gr
Maya’s povIt wasn’t the first time I walked down the dimly lit dungeon corridors, but this time, a sense of responsibility towards my pack filled my heart. Though not officially announced, the pack members seemed to have accepted me as their luna. The guards, prison workers and the omegas we encountered on our way to the cells bowed their head as a gesture of respect when they saw me. At first I thought they were showing respect to their alpha as Vince was with me the whole time, but even after he walked past them, they showed respect to me. It was overwhelming. However, when we reached where Nancy and Mark were interrogating a rogue they captured from the battle field, my focus turned towards him. He was chained with silver - probably to weaken his wolf so he wouldn’t shift and fight against the guards out of the blue. Regardless, the determination on his face didn’t waver. Our gazes met and his lips curled in a sneer. I raised a brow. He didn’t have a reason to sneer at me. Or per
Maya’s povI thought life would be perfect after mating and marking Vince. Especially when the pack members accepted me as their luna without any hesitation, despite the old alpha’s disapproval of me. I learnt how to dismiss his judgemental gazes and unfriendly demeanour. I was determined to win his approval and eventually be loved by him. After all, he was my father-in-law, and his approval meant a lot to me. There were times Vince deflected the topic when I talked about doing things he liked, probably because he knew he disliked me. But wouldn’t he at least try to accept me as his son’s mate? Destiny had put us together, after all. I kept my hopes high, hoping to get some sign of approval before the official luna ceremony, but to my disappointment, I got none. The day of the luna ceremony came. Invitees from all around the werewolf community started to arrive at Silverstone pack. Mark and Nancy took charge of everything from preparing the open ground for the ceremony to escorting
Maya’s pov I dared not peer out of the pantry door while the Alpha’s family dined. Making myself invisible was the best option for me. For reasons unknown, they loathed me. I mean, it would have been fine if they just hated me and left me alone. I didn’t mind not having a cosy home or having to do all the work around the pack house, but the torture they subjected me to was unbearable. With a deep sigh escaping my lips I lifted my shirt and traced my fingertips on the deep scar that ran across my abdomen. I winced. It was a bitter reminder of the time the alpha’s daughter stabbed me with a silver dagger. Thankfully, I survived because she rushed me to the hospital. Perhaps she was scared of being found guilty of murder. Anyway, I forgave her. I thought it would end the years-long hatred she harboured in her heart for me, but, oh boy, was I wrong. The scar no longer hurt, but the emotional trauma I suffered was unforgettable. A shudder ran down my spine as the memories flooded back
Maya's povI woke up to someone breathing down my neck. A shriek escaped my lips when I realised someone was pinning me to the floor. He quickly covered my mouth with one hand. I squirmed under the weight of the perpetrator, trying to break free, but it was useless. “Shhh. Be quiet. Omegas are working outside. I came here to check on you since you hadn’t cleaned the dining room after we left.” I felt as though my soul left my body. It was Nathan, the Alpha’s daughter’s husband. Yeah, husband—not fated mate. He paused for a few seconds. I cringed when I felt his erection pressing against me. I didn't want to feel it, but I couldn’t push him away. He was too strong.“Damn, you got a sexy body. I always knew you would feel good.”A shudder ran down my spine. Ever since he mated with Cheryl, he had been making subtle moves on me. I rejected all of them, but he just wouldn’t give up. I was a minor when they mated together, but that didn’t stop him from trying to get into my pants ever si

Maya’s povIt was weird when I caught the attention of most of the attendees. I was never the centre of attention, and I preferred it that way. Having them stare was just uncomfortable. I scanned through the crowd, wondering if Alpha Eric was in the crowd. I hadn’t noticed him in the open ground despite being invited. Well, perhaps it was a good thing he didn’t join the dinner. He didn’t like me anyway.The younger wolves, especially the ones I trained with, grinned at me and nodded their heads in approval. But the older ones stared for a while, mumbling among themselves. I heard parts of their conversation. Most of them were a bit too surprised to see the colour and size of my wolf. Yes, white wolves didn’t exist in the south, and Eleanor was a large wolf. I guess no one expected someone like me to have a wolf the size of an Alpha. Heck, I also didn’t expect that. I always thought my wolf would have been an omega. Anyway, that didn’t mean my wolf and I were any special. Nancy introd
Maya’s povHer words stunned me. Mate? How could I have a mate? Wasn’t I rejected way before I could have the pleasure of finding out what he smelt like? I was unwanted and cast aside way before I knew how enchanting the bond was. Was my wolf delusional? Didn’t she know I was rejected? All this time, I assumed she knew about the rejection, despite me not mentioning it. My smile vanished. Not having a partner didn’t bother me, but when my wolf thought that we had a mate, that stung a bit. Besides, how could she smell him here? That loser was nowhere near. I wasn’t even in his pack anymore. “Uh, Eleanor, I think you are mistaken. We don’t have a mate,” I told her. She clicked her tongue, irritated by my words. “What? How could you say something like that?”“Well,” I said, a sigh escaping my lips. “Because we were rejected. Our mate didn’t want us because we weren't... the kind of luna he wanted to lead the pack with.”“Hmm. This cannot be him, though. That jerk is in Moonshine, and w
Maya’s povFor everyone else, it was just another night, but for me, it was the night I had been waiting for my whole life. As the whole pack house lay still as midnight approached, I lay awake staring at the wall clock as the minutes ticked away. I didn’t try to suppress the smile curling on my lips. It was finally time for me to become a wolf.With my heart fluttering in my chest, I sat on my bed. Once the clock struck twelve, it would be my birthday, and during the next twenty-four hours, I would have my first shift. I didn’t know when. I had seen some wolves transform into their beasts in the morning and some in the evening. It was a pity that I didn’t know if I was in the morning or night. If I did, I would know what to expect.I wasn’t sleepy, so I walked towards the balcony in the room and gazed into the sky. It was a beautiful night with the full moon illuminating the sky. The star-studded sky looked like a dark cloth embedded with tiny diamonds. I smiled and took a breath. Gr
