"You came?" He asked with heavy breath, staring at her as she still struggled in cutting the rope.She paused and turned towards him, staring at him with a smile on her face before she placed her palm on his face and then replied, "Of course I did. You would do same for me."He smiled at her. The pains he had felt around his hands had already ceased as soon as he could feel her hands around his skin, and for a second, his love for the lady had rekindled ten times more than what he had already felt for her.But all of the emotions were cut off just as soon as his eyes had sighted the movement of a rogue wolf approaching them at a very intense speed."You might want to be a bit faster in cutting off this rope!" He said. "Why?" She asked"Because another is coming in our direction," he said. Her eyes immediately turned backwards as she could also sight the rogue wolf running towards them both, and the tension within her spirit had immediately catapulted."Shit!" She groaned as she kept
Little Elsie was sent to the royal physician who conducted a test and said she was fine.Willow on the other hand wasn't having a good time."It will take her months to heal," The physician said."Mother." Brynlee sighed then kisses her forehead. The unconscious Willow was taken away and Maverick pulled her into a hug."Everything will be fine from now on," Maverick smiled then kissed her lightly on her lips.Brynlee nodded then stared at the place he was stabbed. He noticed how worried he was and he sighed."I'll be fine in a few days. I have to leave now. The palace needs some rumination." maverick annouced.Brynlee nodded and watched as he left. Days went by after that and the new palace for the Solar pack was in place.Two huge status stood magnificently at the entrance to the palace and it won't take someone a second to see that it was the Luna and her Alpha."Sir there's a report,"Loren walked inside the study room of Maverick who was going through some files.Maverick stared at
Brynlee’s POVI sat there in the dark, shivering non-stop. The only source of light was the dim rays from the cracked window sill. I knew she would do something drastic. My gaze remained fixed, scanning the area while my hands gripped the edge of my skirt.Why does she hate me so much? My mother. Her hatred towards me is palpable, evident in her words and actions. Why on earth was she trying to marry me off to that stinking bastard?“Why are you hiding, bitch?! If I lay my hands on you, I will chop you into tiny bits of smithereens! You dare disgrace me?” Amidst the gloomy atmosphere of that dark room, her voice penetrated through and provided me with a brief moment of relief from her anger.Funny, right? A mother calling her daughter a bitch? Trust me; I have had it worse than you think. Bitch? That was just the tip of the iceberg. Despite my earnest prayers that she wouldn’t find me, it seems the heavens have always been and will continue to be against me.Although it was dark, the o
I shivered in fear. I have heard stories of wolves walking in packs. Were there others hiding somewhere? Just as I was considering fleeing, I heard it whimpering. My heart melted at the suffering it was passing through, and I remembered how I was beaten to a pulp by my mother and dumped in my room to heal. I wasn’t given any medical aids or pain relief. It was terrible, and I can never forget it.Instantly, I felt pity for the wolf.“I guessed it must be harmless, considering how badly injured it was. Maybe I should get it treated,” I muttered, holding my chin in contemplation.Yes. That was the right thing to do.Despite my pain from the recent beating, the wolf appeared to be in worse condition than me. So, I put aside my pain and lifted it. It’s quite amusing that I could lift it, considering how heavy it was.It took us an hour to get to a nearby Vet because I had to stop to take my breath.“Girl, you got a wolf for a pet?” The Vet asked, looking at me suspiciously.“It is not my
Maverick’s POVI waited impatiently for the woman to bring her to me. I heard some noises upstairs but didn’t want to look rude, so I stayed calm, resting my body on the wall. I wore a hat to stop the stares these humans were giving me. I know I looked quite different in stature and features, but I don’t mind because I wasn’t here for them.I came here for her, and she hasn’t changed a bit, just as I remembered her. I took a deep breath to stop my anger from bursting out because, somehow, I was feeling her pain.These people have hurt her. I thought they were her family. I could feel Kyle whining in my head, but I didn’t want to cause pain to her family. What if she hates me because of it? So I waited.Then I perceived her scent, along with her sense of fear and discomfort. I could have taken her away when I saw her, but I wanted to do it in the presence of her family—I wanted to pay according to human rules. She has to belong to me. Only then will I provide her with the affection she
Brynlee’s POVIt’s strange how everything changed within a few minutes. My mother and sister were far from me for good, and I was walking with a stunning stranger! Funny right? I just don’t feel frightened.I felt warm as he patiently answered my questions while trying to move according to my pace. We were still discussing him when I asked where he lived.“Forest?”It came as a shock, and then I was swarmed with confusion. Wasn’t he too handsome and wealthy to live in the forest? Then the only plausible explanation in my head popped out.“Are you a fugitive?” I asked, looking at him pitifully.Instead of answering my question immediately as he usually does, he tried to suppress his hidden laughter. Was I wrong? Or maybe his house was located inside the forest? Silly me!“You are not silly. Don’t worry, we are going to my home,” he said, answering my thought.That’s weird. I didn’t say it out loud, or did I?As we ventured further into the forest, I began to feel tired and curious about
Maverick’s POVI watched as my sweet mate struggled to meet up with me even as I walked slowly. At this pace, we would end up getting to the pack house the next day, according to the human world. It wasn’t her fault anyway; considering those beatings from those two bitches, she must have been very drained.I wonder if I should have just killed them instead of what I did. That would have been better, but it would have made me look monstrous to my mate.Seeing how she was battling, I stopped suddenly, making her hit my chest, and I felt my heart race faster than ever. An electrifying feeling coursed through my whole body, not just me—even my wolf wasn’t left out. It howled loudly in my head, wanting to feel our mate. I had to try all I could to calm him down.This is a new feeling for me, and to be honest, even though I recognized her as my mate when she was around eleven years old in the human world, I have never been near her until now.Initially, I detested being mated to a human and
THIRD POV (Author's POV)She closed her eyes by instinct to savor the moment. This was her first kiss, given by a stranger who also happened to be her husband and a wolf. She pushed herself further, making her insecurities devoid of any emotions.She just wanted her first kiss to be perfect and gave it her all. Naively yet cutely as she tried to imitate his gestures. With an eagerness that amazed her, she dug her tongue into his mouth and twirled it around.The kiss was tempting yet captivating—the perfect mix of a perfect kiss.She was so engrossed in the kissing and the sweetness emanating from it that she didn’t realize how she clung to him like an octopus or that this hot husband of hers was making out with her in the open!But that was none of her business as she let out moans that seemed to bring out sparks in their little show of romance. The smacking and sucking of lips from the two newly found lovers continued on a loud scale.He drew her closer to himself, inhaling her scent

AUTHOR'S POVHeavy breath accompanied every hasty step she took round the building. Her eyes moved round the entire building, her face beaded with sweat drops as she stood with her hands on waist, seeming lost in the thoughts of something uncertain."My lady..." A voice sounded from behind her which interrupted her train of thoughts, causing her to turn backwards in view of who had called towards her."He's not here! He's not anywhere in the building" Loren said. His eyes were squeezed at the sight of her facial reaction. Her face was squeezed, as though tears were about to fall down her face.She turned back and forth, already sniffling her nostrils with the hasty breath increasing as the seconds passed by. Her hands were on her head, her fingers rushing through her already scattered hair in thoughts of what next she could do.She searched for Maverick as soon as the strangest feeling pierced through her heart. She had started her search, but when she had seen the impossibility of he
As soon as Alexandria and Regina was taken away, hurried footsteps were heard coming towards the place they were. It was Loren and Tamara who heard about another poisoning episode."I heard about what happened. Are you both fine?" Loren rushed inside the mansion along with Tamara.Brynlee stopped with what she was doing then stared at the couple who just came in."Loren? Tamara?" Her eyes widened in surprise. Tamara stared at her, surprised then stared at Maverick who gave a short nod."You finally remember us?" She asked with watery eyes. Brynlee nodded frantically and they both held each other screaming."I thank God that everything is fine now," Loren walked towards Maverick. He took a seat on one of the sofas while he watches the ladies.He was about to say something but Maverick phone started ringing. He stared at the buzzing phone and the table."Hello?" Maverick coldly asked. He knew who the caller was and he wondered why he called?"Are you free?" Uncle Berth's voice sounded f
Author's POV"Is it because it's poison?" Willow asked and Alexandra's brows creased together."How dare you give an accusation without proof?" Alexandra thundered."You know what I hate the most? It's dramas. It's either you give her that pie like she requested or get your head on a platter for being a traitor," Brynlee coldly replied."Mr Maverick! Will you let her talk to your guest like that?!" Alexandra accused.Maverick stared at her then back at the pie. If the woman knew how much he pampers his mate, she wouldn't dare ask him that. But for the fact that they are trying to deceive Alexandra, he just had to play along. "Is it truly poisoned?" He calmly asked. Alexandra's eyes widened in disbelief. Why was Maverick suddenly believing them? Didn't he ask her over here because he wanted her help? Wasn't that why he always danced to her tune? "You don't believe me?" She feigned a sad look on her face. Maverick simply stared at her without saying a word. Alexandra's hands tightene
Willow's POVThere were so many words I wished to tell my daughter. I wish I could tell her how sorry I was to leave her alone all these years. I wish I could stop all the maltreatment she received from Alexandra after the death of her father.But I just couldn't. I didn't want to make her life more complicated than it already was. How could I tell her that she was at risk then because I broke the rule of witches?Back then, powerful witches of the royal bloodline were forbidden to mate with humans. That was how we were taught, not until I met Brynlee's father. He was so perfect that I fell in love with him.But of course, I knew the implications of what I was getting myself into. To protect him, I wanted to denounce my witchy powers. I was determined to be ordinary so I could be with Brynlee's father.I never knew those were just my wishful thinking. The man I fell in love with lied to me. I found out another woman was pregnant with his child. Filled with fury, I wanted to destroy h
Third Person POVUncle's Beth's gaze sharpened as he stared at the shadow standing at the window.There was a moment of silence before it slowly disappeared from there. "What's that?" He muttered as he quickly ran towards the window to check but no one was there. He sighed then turned towards the dressing table. He picked the bottle with serenity and placed it gently inside the drawer."Get ready to meet your demise," He chuckled lightly as he climbed the bed and slept soundly.Hours passed in the blink of an eye and it was morning already. A maid walked towards his room and knocked gently."Sir, breakfast is ready," The maid said but he simply ignored her. He wore his suit and walked past her."Tell the driver to get the car ready. I'll be there in 4 minutes," He said to the maid as he made himself a coffee. The maid nodded and dash off to relay the order. Few minutes after that, he was on his way to Maverick's mansion. It didn't take long before the car pulled into the mansion."W
Alexandra's POV"How long have you been here, willow?" I asked the frightened woman before me."It hasn't been long, ma'am. I only came here to inform you that I have to head back home now. I do not have any money with me and I don't think I can stay in this place stranded," She replied.My brows creased at her words but then she said right. She can't spend all her time here without earning from it.She needs money to survive and I don't expect to keep her around me. There are a lot of maids in here who can meet all my needs but then… I do not think they are worthy of my trust.So that's where she comes useful."Ma'am," She called out."Yes, you can stay," I gasp out then sighed."I can't stay here, ma'am. I need money," She argued."Money Is not the problem. I will pay you while you do some minor jobs for me. Let's just take it as our usual routine before I came here. I can't trust anyone in this palace and I've known you for a month now. Apart from Regina, you are the next person I
Alexandra's POV"We are here," Loren said as we entered the grandiloquent building. I couldn't help but gasp at how beautiful and luxurious it was.Is this really the place where my 'daughter' has been living? My eyes rolled at this but I still made sure to feast my eyes with everything I could see. I watched as the maids quickly take our luggages towards the Mansion and they all look so happy with their work "Woow," I gasped in disbelief. Don't tell me they are enjoying the luxury here?Hell yeah! It's better I stick to the deal and stay here forever but… I do not think the clean way is good."Ma'am, is there anything I can do? I mean, you asked me to come over leaving the house empty," a disturbing voice interrupted my inner happiness.I turned to stare dagger at the haggard looking maid I brought with me. If not that she was very good at her job and somehow, I just can't chase her too."What's that name of yours again?" I asked, making sure to sound demeaning."Willow" She said
