I don't need anyone to tell me that Oswald has been waiting here for the past two weeks. The traces are vivid on his face.I gasped in shock, and my hand flew to my mouth to cover it. I never expected Oswald to be here or, more so, to punch Wyatt. How dare he?Wyatt's expression changed; immediately, he retaliated with a fierce punch, hitting Oswald in the face.Oswald wiped his lips with the back of his hand and raised his hand to throw another punch at Wyatt.My calmness and shock dissipated immediately. I took steps forward and came in between the duo, with Wyatt staying behind me and Oswald facing me.Oswald's punch froze in midair, and his hand fell beside him.I glared at him angrily. How dare he come forward to fight my mate when he once had the chance but wasted it? "What are you doing here, Oswald? You have a partner named Lorelei; stop bothering with me…"Oswald grabbed my shoulder with his hands; his angry expression overlapped with heartache immediately. "Maia, you're my m
Wyatt's lips curved slightly, and his expression softened. Although he didn't say anything, I knew he was overjoyed by what I just said. He leaned forward to plant a deep kiss on my lips."Hubby." I beamed at Wyatt, feeling my sad mood reside. Upon recalling the conversation between Wyatt and Oswald, I tilted my head curiously, wanting to know what could've inclined Oswald to make such a statement about Wyatt, despite the fact that it's perfectly obvious that Wyatt doesn't like Lorelei a bit. "What's with Lorelei, hubby?" I inquired while blinking my eyes cutely.Wyatt isn't the type to speak much, and I'm afraid that he won't want to reply to this either, so I blinked my eyes cutely so he could change his mind.Immediately, Wyatt's eyes darkened, and his expression changed into one of hatred. "She claimed to be my mate." He simply expressed.My lips parted in gasps. "Huh?" Soon, anger blew up in me.That bitch wanted Oswald and Wyatt at the same time? How dare she claim to be my Wya
'Woah, Maia. Congratulations on being the beta's mate.''Yay, how surprising. You both hid it from us for so long. It turns out that you're Beta Wyatt's mate; that's the reason you were brought into the pack.''We now have another pair. Congratulations.'After the downpour of confetti, the entire class except Lorelei and her cliques congratulated me for getting together with my mate, Wyatt.Nancy's face alternated between pale and green, clearly surprised and angered by the truth of Wyatt and I's relationship. However, wasn't I surprised when I heard the truth in the first place?I wonder how the news spread so soon...'So soon? It's been two weeks.' Maia whispered in a tired, thin tone, clearly drained by the two weeks' actions with Wyatt.I scratched my hair sheepishly. That's right, it's been two weeks—clearly more than enough time to make the truth go viral.My lips curved in a big smile, sweetness and warmth invading my heart and radiating from my whole being. I nodded to my clas
My eyes widened, and my calm expression broke immediately. Why did Wyatt block me? Although I kept racking my brain, I couldn't find a suitable reason.My mood plummeted, and I couldn't help but place my head on the table aggrievedly. 'Maia, why did he block us, do you know?'Maia exhaled a confused sigh, 'No, I didn't. Do you think…''Baby, I'm sorry. Had to settle issues.' Wyatt's calm mind-link interrupted Maia's and my conversation.I don't know when a sigh of relief spilled past my lips. I really thought I said something wrong, which was the reason Wyatt blocked me.I sat up immediately and placed my chin on my elbow. 'Scared me. I thought you were annoyed at me.' I replied.'Why will I be? I'm not annoyed. Caught abrupt and had to leave. I'm sorry I didn't tell you." Wyatt explained.Lorelei's expression changed, and she turned back to glare at me fiercely.My lips curved wickedly, and I couldn't help but understand something. Perhaps Wyatt's behavior stemmed from giving Lorelei
'Good luck.' Wyatt replied in a calm tone. My eyes lit up, and I couldn't help the beam that spilled past my lips.I guess I was the one thinking too much; Wyatt didn't put it in mind. After all, his voice is extremely calm. 'Wyatt.''En, babe.' He calmly replied.'Frightened me.' I complained and pouted my lips in grievance.Wyatt chuckled. 'Just thinking of various positions for our upcoming one-year stand.' He calmly replied. I knew he purposely said this.Wyatt is subtly telling me that even though his voice was calm and he had just wished me good luck, he was still thinking about the one-year-stand. He'll definitely satisfy me in various positions once I'm home on the weekend.I really want to cry a river. Gosh, I can't believe that I was so stupid to shoot myself in the feet. Is it too late to cry over spilled milk?'Hubby, no need to think so seriously, okay? There's nothing like a one-year stand; doesn't it sound stupid in the ear?' I began to blab while he only chuckled in re
“Rex." Upon hearing the familiar voice, I froze in shock; it felt as if my whole being was struck by lightning. My mouth turned dry, my lips turned chapped, and my heartbeat began to race chaotically. A trace of chill suddenly engulfed my whole system, making me shiver.I couldn't help but gulp due to fear, nervousness, and the variety of emotions that began to overwhelm me.The knowledge of Rex's arrival and what was about to happen sent fear, worry, and anxiety spiraling through my system.Rex is here. What am I going to do? How do I face him? What should I do? I bit my lower lips and grabbed a fist of my hair in anxiety. I couldn't help but pace due to nervousness. Although I knew Rex would soon know about Wyatt and I’s relationship, I never expected it to be this fast. I haven't even prepared myself. Not at all! What am I going to do now?My breath began to appear in waves, and panic began to build in me.Worriedly, I ran my hands through my hair and facepalmed myself.What wil
No. I wanted to shake my head in disagreement. How could it be as Rex says? Of course, Rex is the closest to me. How could he not have space in my heart?It came to a point where I eagerly awaited Rex's arrival. To reveal to him that I wanted him and that I had begun to feel the same way he did. That I don't find his flirting clingy or weird.However, it's too late to say all this. Wyatt and I are joined, and nothing can change that.Regardless of what I say, not even my sincere confession could get Rex and me together. Rather, it'll make me appear selfish. It'll make it seem as if I wanted Wyatt and Rex at the same time. Moreover, it'll put Wyatt in an awkward position.Wyatt had done a lot for me; the last thing I'll ever do is let him down.Although I'm hurt about how things played out with Rex in the end, I don't want to leave Wyatt. I like Wyatt a lot. My quivering lips parted slightly. "I..."Rex ran his hand through his hair and let go of me, a reproaching smile on his face. "I
REX'S POV A freezing ambiance envelopes the large and expensive-looking office. The atmosphere freezes tensely in the elders' conference room, making my heart shudder with fear like never before.Six grim-looking werewolf elders sat on the left and right sides of the office. On the platform of the office were the Alpha and Luna of the red flame pack. Each of them had a serious expression on their face.Next to the Alpha and Luna seats was a cute, beautiful little girl whose legs kept swinging cutely without having an intention to stop.Placed at the front of the little girl's seat was a little table that had a plate of grapes placed on it. A smile adorned the girl's face as she picked the grape and tossed it into her mouth one after the other.The swinging of the cute little girl sitting next to Alpha and Luna while eating grapes in a dazzling cute manner broke the heaviness, giving the room a certain sort of ambiance.My eyes couldn't help but drift toward the cute little girl repea
