Gwen noticed the change in Maya's demeanor, and she went closer to her. "Are you okay, Luna?" She asked worriedly.Maya gave a slight nod. "I'm just trying to... catch..." She began to say, feeling her eyes closing. "My breath," she said in a hush voice, before slipping down on the floor."Luna!" Gwen said, falling to her knees, as she shook Maya, trying to revive her. "Look what you've caused!" She said, shooting Cora a hard glare, and then looked at Maya with a panicked expression on her face. "Oh, my. I wonder what the alpha would do to us once he finds out we caused the Luna to faint," Gwen said, as she held Maya's hand, trying to pull her up. "Help me take her to the alpha's room," she added, but Cora scoffed, and walked away. One by one the other omegas did the same thing too.Gwen was trying her best to pick Maya up, but was failing. Soon, she got help when the salutary walked into the house in an accord to check up on Maya.He sighted Gwen struggling with Maya, and rushed to h
Maya stood by the window examining the distance between the window and the ground outside. Her eyes darted left and right to see if there was any warrior in sight, and indeed there was. Earlier this morning there was less of them, but as the blue sky had turned grey with twinkling stars, there was more than seven warriors in sight. There was no way she could successfully scale through the wall of the window without being seen. She groaned hard. Perhaps she should try running away very early tomorrow morning.She groaned hard again. "Another night in this place," she said in dismay, and heaved gravely. "It's just one night. It wouldn't be that bad." She said trying to reassure herself. She turned away from the window, and immediately her body stiffened by who she saw resting his lithe frame on the wall. Her breathing quickened, and her knees buckled, as her eyes met his."What do you mean by one night left?" He asked her with a blank expression on his face.She swallowed. She was quite
"Why?" Grey asked her, with a rare puzzled look on his face.Maya looked away from him as she shrugged. "How am I supposed to know?" She asked him. After all, the salutary had not come to see her. He had only come at the right time when she fainted."Did he check on you?" Grey asked her, as he recalled the salutary saying he was going to come check on Maya to know if she was alright, and to confirm whatever presumption he had of her.She looked at him, and hugged her arms to herself, shaking her head. "No," she said. She would not tell him about the bully she got from the omegas."Well then," he said, as he shrugged his shoulders a little. "Do you want to have dinner now?" He asked her.She stared at him wondering why he was bothered about her not eating. It felt as if he heard her as he eyed her from head to toe. "You look extremely thin," he said to her in sarcasm.She frowned at him. "I'm not thin. I'm lean, okay?" She said."Dinner?" He asked her, playing dumb to her words.She wa
"You know, tonight reminds me of the first time we met, right at the sphere of this waterfall," he whispered softly with a smile on his face, and his arm entwined with hers, as they walked towards the waterfall.She giggled and whispered into his ears "I had sent a flaming spear to kill you, remember?" He grinned. "But, you didn't. You were mesmerized by my eyes." "Maybe," she replied with a happy tone. They got to the sphere of the waterfall, and he held her hand, and brought it to his lips. She smiled at him."I'll never get tired of seeing your beautiful face, my love," he said to her."Even if I turn old, wrinkling and grey?" She asked him."You'll look even more beautiful in my eyes," he said as his lips lingered on her hand."Oh, Verne," she laughed, and as he let go of her hand, she wrapped her arms around him. "I love you, always, now and forever.""I love you more Alyssa. More than you can ever imagine," he said to her as he placed a kiss on her forehead."Emperor!" Someone
Maya regained herself and began to struggle in his arms. "Let go of me!" She yelled out as she tried to break free, but, Grey didn't relinquish his hold on her. His grip on her waist tightened more than before."Stop annoying me," he said in a brittle tone."I don't want to be here!" Maya yelled, fighting him off. "I want to be anywhere but here!" She kept yelling.In furious annoyance, he swung her over his shoulder like she was just a bag of feathers, and walked in the direction of the pack house. "Let go of me!" Maya kept yelling as she let out her frustration on him. She kicked, scratched, hit, and clawed his skin.Grey held onto her, bearing her onslaught, as he continued walking without halting a second to make her stop the fuss she was making.He was furious at her for actually going on with the plan that she had formed in her head. She has only been in the pack house for a day. What pain has she gone through to decide to run away? He hasn't even been cruel to her. If anything,
Maya looked in the direction of where the water came from, and she was shocked to see Cora. Cora smiled mischievously. "Oops," she mouthed feigning surprise as she placed her fingers on her mouth. "I didn't see you there. My bad," she said pretentiously.Maya could already imagine strangling her and making sure she was lifeless. "I'm very sure this place is not for garbage or..." Maya began to speak, but Cora interrupted her."Of course, this place is not for trash," she said with an evil smile. "Trash like you," she added, and Maya stared at her, as she struggled hard to keep her cool.Cora walked up to her. "You don't belong here, omega. Take your stinking self out of this place," she ordered, and Maya's eyes blazed with fury, as she clenched her hands to her side, as she stared hard at Cora. "Becoming a Luna doesn't hide the stench of an omega written all over you." Cora said in despise.Maya chuckled dryly. "Do not forget that I can simply wait for the alpha's return, and report y
Grey's eyes scanned Maya's body in his shirt. His gaze was on her finely shaped legs. He had not expected to come back to the house to find her in his shirt, especially not after she had rejected putting it on. "Turn around," he said in a drawl, without realizing it.Maya tried to keep her breathing steady, as she slowly turned around. She feared he would do the abominable to her for putting on his shirt without permission. Grey held his breath. He could hardly take his eyes off her. He was enthralled by how hot she looked in just a loose fitting shirt. He threw caution to the wind, as he walked towards her in slow and majestic steps befitting the bloodline of a royal. Maya began to hyperventilate. She had no idea what was in his mind, or what he was planning to do to her. Who would save her from the clutches of this man? Grey inched closer to her, bridging the gap between them. Her back was pressed against the table. "I'm sorry, I didn't..." She began to speak, but Grey cut in, as h
"What did you just say?" Grey demanded in a low menacing tone.Maya shuddered, as she took a step back, without Grey advancing towards her "I meant that Gwen is a nice girl, and she doesn't deserve been lashed at in that manner," she quivered as she spokr to him."You do not tell me how to speak to anyone in my pack." Grey spat out in a low fury. She had no right to interfere in his way of handling the pack members.Maya swallowed hard, before facing him squarely. "I'm only correcting your manners," she said to him, and Grey's eyes darkened the more. His eyes blazed with fury as he approached her ferociously."And who the hell do you think you are to correct my manners?" His voice loomed condescendingly over her.Maya shook as she retreated the more, and she hit the bedstand, and fell on the bed. She gasped, as fear took over her, unable to look at his face. She shivered, unable to presume his next move.Grey grunted hard. "You drive me mad," he murmured beneath his breath.She and he
