Brynlee's POV"Your grip on the sword isn't firm. One lose grip could get you killed, Brynlee" Maverick said, hitting the sword from my hand." I hate when you train me! Ellen isn't harsh like you" I said, pouting."But she can't give you the 'cakes' afterwards. Isn't that why you are still sticking to me?" He said, licking his lower lips while making a finger gesture on the cake. "C-ak-es? What cake?" I asked, feigning ignorance. Though my cheeks are beginning to heat up. "You have forgotten? Let me remind you then," he said, smirking.Before I could protest, he was already in front of me. His face close to mine as his breath grazes my neck, sending tingles all over my body."Maybe, I should just give you a bigger cake!" He said, lifting me off the ground."Mave! Put me down! The guards are watching!" I protested, trying to wiggle down.But all fell on deaf ears. Maybe because I also wanted a taste of it so it's usually a weak protest filled with soft moans which I don't even reali
Maverick's POVThe stress was more than overwhelming. I never thought of the workload of a King being as hectic and time consuming as this. There had the be so much in my head to handle at the same time, and the feeling of always being under pressure was something that weakened my mortal body.I wouldn't be baffled if I was told that I was no longer approachable by my subjects. I would'nt have that much time to explain to others the things I saw and the things I thought of every single day I had to open my eyes the a new day.But the meetings were excess, and whenever I had the stare at the faces of the people who sat around me, I could see the handwriting of fatigue well and boldly written on their faces, and sometimes, sleep and dizziness taking control over their bodies.My tables were always filled, most times unable to differentiate one paper from the other, always having to scribble through the ones which sat on the table just before I could get the perfect one for that situatio
Brynlee's POVI watched the man who was so eager to train us this morning stuck up in his dreams, looking tired and haggard. Although I felt betrayed, I knew he was damn tired.I blamed myself partly for being so weak. From the little I have learnt about these beings, powerful Lycans are supported behind the scenes by the women they make their Luna Queen.I had thought that perhaps Maverick would have wanted a powerful or helping Luna too. Unfortunately, I was just a human who was frail and without anything to offer.With that thought, I had crazily practiced and also studied but that was like a drop in the ocean. At least that's what I think, considering the strength of the women I have come across.I smiled faintly before touching his tired face. He must have been overworking himself over the rogue issue. No one seem to have an idea of who or what they are. Hopefully, I might know a thing or two as I was already working with the Royal doctor. I remembered he treated Maverick when he
Maverick's POVThe atmosphere was different, and it seemed as though there was no more weakness in my body. Her heart throbbed against my chest while I stood there, and I could see the reaction on her face and the way her eyes moved from my face towards Cassy's face.I turned backwards to stare at the one who had caused all of these things, and the only reaction on her face was a smile which she tried to suppress, but no kidding, her evil still showed even in her slightest gestures."Oh my God" she exclaimed with her hands covering her mouth, her hands placed on her waist, staring at me and then at the ground.I knew what she thought. She never needed to speak a word, neither did she need to force the words. It was obvious that she was disappointed in what she had seen. I knew I had told her that I was just too weak to assist her in the training of her friend, and she had walked in to see me already having some form of unholy association with another lady, of which was never seeming
Cassy's POVI wanted to destroy their relationship. I was just too jealous to think of something else. My heart shattering with undeniable fury, I had gone home. I knew that my parents were supporting me but at the same time, they were cautious.No one wants to get on the wrong side of Maverick. He might be all loving and chummy toward whom he loves but when it comes to treachery, he becomes monstrous."Cassy dear, don't you think you should just give up?" My father said as soon as I got inside the living room.My parents were seated as if waiting for my arrival. I wanted to ignore them or shout at them for being feeble. For backing out when I was already getting what I wanted. "Why should I let that human pest win over me? Maverick had been mine from the beginning. She should be the one to give up, father!" I said, not sparing my words."If he actually was yours, he wouldn't have made her Luna and you wouldn't have had to get yourself injured just to get whom you said was yours in t
Brynlee's POVI doubted his words. I doubted myself, that's because, deep down I never thought it was going to be so soon. I never thought I was going to be a mother so soon."Are you sure, Mave?" I asked, the umpteenth time. Right from the first day, Maverick had told me that all he wanted was me and nothing else. I wanted him all to myself too and I was happy he loved me that much but then there was my dream too.My dream of giving him what he would cherish all his life. What can only belong to the two of us in this life. I wanted to be a mother and the woman who gives him his unborn children.Still, I was still thrown off guard by the proclamation of the new life growing inside of me. The life I always wanted to give the man I love so much.Was I truly going to be a mother? Was my hidden dream coming through? I placed my hands on my belly, and in all sincerity, I couldn't tell if it was just myself, but I still couldn't feel anything moving inside of me. I thought I was supposed t
Third POVThe lady wouldn't hear any of the excuse made with a smile. How could such a sound not move a muscle within the other woman sitting like a statue but with a smile plastered on her face? "Seriously..! Tell me what's going on?" She asked again, staring at Ellen who still sat still despite having to hear the loud growling sound which made the entire pack shake and tremble.Brynlee was not going to listen to her half-baked words of everything is fine! Her husband just left the hospital barely thirty minutes ago and such a fearful growl was shattering the whole place? Was Maverick in danger? "Trust me.!" Ellen said with a smile and still placed her hand on Brynlee. But while she wore a smile on her face, Brynlee however didn't, still having the doubts boldly written as she stared at Ellen. This wasn't the time to be trusting blindly. She would be a mother soon and she hated that anything should happen to get mate! She was scared, damn scared of the fact that something might ha
Third POVCassy was one of such example. Her anger was justified because of what she thought that didn't come to fruition. She was feeling frustrated over the fact that the disappointment and jealousy she thought was the major reason why Brynlee had slumped was actually the symptoms of the birth of a new being growing inside of her. How could she be so sure? How could she think that the human pest was so vulnerable even if she was gullible?Cassy was angered, unable to eat and think clearly of what next to do. She felt the disappointment eating and getting the better part of her, laying on the bed with her face looking upwards, towards the ceiling where she just stared at the ceiling fan.She imagined herself walking to Maverick, and trying to stir up another conversation. But all the things she could see was just shame and failure. She couldn't even seduce the one man she wanted so badly. How could she let herself be caught? She finally understood that Maverick had come to the unde
