Cassy POV"You know you are now a traitor? If you play around, you might end up losing everything including your life. Remember our pact and remember I am watching you!"That was the mindlink I received but I wasn't able to tell who was great enough to tap into my mind without my consent. I wanted to curse but Brynlee was standing right next to me and I can't let her have weird ideas.I suppress my feelings as I thought of what next to do. If this person could tap into my mind without permission, then he must be a Lycan sorcerer or he has a powerful sorcerer by his side.I wonder why he always stayed in the dark whenever we meet up and even his scent was well covered. Was I dealing with the right person? I don't want to be labeled a traitor at all.There was this idea which had circulated around the council, I know because my father was among the council. He told me of the pack having a traitor in the midst, someone who gives out valuable information about the pack to the rogue wolves
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
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
"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
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
