Liam’s Pov

As I sat in my office, going over the daily reports, my thoughts kept drifting back to Maxine. Despite everything I had put her through, she remained resilient. It puzzled me. I had expected her to break or run away like so many others before her. Yet, here she was, still standing, still serving me, and still enduring the harshness of her existence.

A knock on the door interrupted my thoughts. "Come in," I called out, and the door swung open to reveal Kris, my best friend and my trusted lieutenants.

He is the only one I could trust with this type of discussion.

"Alpha," he greeted, stepping inside and closing the door behind him. "I thought I'd check in and see how things are going."

I nodded, gesturing for him to take a seat. "Kris, it's good to see you. How's everything on your end?"

"All's well, Liam," he replied, sitting down across from me. "But I couldn't help but notice how things have been with Maxine lately."

I raised an eyebrow. "What about her?"

    Maxine's POVWhen I arrived at the training ground, I was taken aback by the sight of girls my age, all dressed in training outfits and looking serious. Training, They moved with precision and purpose, their faces set in determined expressions. Out of excitement, I waved at them and smiled, hoping to make a connection. But none of them responded. I quickly realized that everyone meant business here; nobody was chatting or laughing, it was just cold expressions throughout. the training ground was a place for combat, not casual socializing.I composed myself and continued watching, admiring those who were engaged in fierce training. They moved with such skill and strength, and I found myself wishing I could learn to fight like that. Lost in my thoughts, I didn't notice the stern voice yelling at me until it was too late."Hey! You!" the voice boomed.I turned around to see a gigantic man glaring at me. He was a warrior, no doubt about it, and his presence was intimidating."This place i

    Maxine's POVI looked around the training ground and it was overwhelming. Despite my initial ginger to continue, I quickly realized how out of place I was. The other girls moved with such confidence and skill, that it was almost intimidating. Trying to emulate them, I picked up a training weapon that had fallen out of my hands.I struggled to lift it, my arms shaking with the effort. Sweat trickled down my face as I swung the weapon clumsily, missing my imaginary target. I could feel the eyes of the other trainees on me, and their disdain was noticeable. My cheeks burned with embarrassment, but I forced myself to keep going."Focus, Maxine," I whispered to myself,Composing myself, I began to watch them, trying to see if I could get it right this time.

    Maxine's POVI was deep in sleep, exhaustion had finally overtaken me. But it didn't last long. I heard someone yelling my name, piercing through the fog of my dreams. Reluctantly, I opened my eyes to see an omega standing at my door. She wasn't smiling but had this pitiful expression on.I thought something bad had happened or I had done something wrong. My face was filled with confusion and fear."Maxine," she called again, urgency in her voice.I groaned, my whole body aching. "What is it? Did I do something wrong?"She shook her head, "Alpha Liam wants you to prepare oats and chips for him, and he wants it immediately." she said.I wanted to scream. He was the one who insisted I train. Now, here I was, hungry and weak, and he dared to send me on an errand? How wicked and selfish could he be? What have I done to this man to deserve such harsh treatment? Why does he hate me so much? What did I ever do to him? Many questions kept flying in my head. Questions I couldn't answer."This

    Maxine's POVDays turned into weeks, and the relentless training continued. Each session was more grueling than the last. My muscles ached constantly, and my limbs felt like they were on fire. Despite my efforts, I couldn't keep up with the others. I was always lagging, always struggling to lift the heavy weapons and keep up with the intense drills. The warrior who supervised me showed no mercy.“Faster, Maxine!” he barked. “Do you want to remain a weakling forever?”I pushed myself harder, but my body simply couldn't handle the strain. Every day I felt weaker, more exhausted. My health was deteriorating, and I knew it. I could feel it in my bones, in the way my vision blurred and my legs wobbled. But I had no choice. If I stopped, I would be punished even more severely.One afternoon, as I tried to complete yet another impossible drill, my vision went black. I felt my body hit the ground, but I couldn't feel the pain. Everything went numb. The last thing I heard was the warrior shout

    Maxine's POVThe days in the hospital began to blur together, but slowly, I started to find the will to survive again. I forced myself to eat, even when the thought of food made my stomach turn. Elena stayed by my side, coaxing me to take small bites and cheering me on with every swallow."Come on, Maxine, just a little more," Elena would say, her voice filled with gentle encouragement. "You're doing so well."I managed a small smile as I took another bite. The food tasted like ash, but I kept eating, driven by a new hope. Gradually, I began to feel a tiny spark of life returning to me. I started laughing at Elena's jokes, even though they were corny and silly. It felt good to laugh, like a release of some of the heavy burden I carried.The doctors were incredibly supportive. They didn't just treat my physical wounds but also worked tirelessly to help me heal mentally. They listened patiently as I poured out my fears and pain, giving me words of comfort and methods to cope with my tra

    Maxine's POVThe days in the hospital dragged on. I was healing physically, but the emotional wounds were far deeper and more painful. Losing the baby felt like losing a part of myself, and it took everything in me to keep moving forward. Elena was my rock, always by my side, helping me through each painful step of recovery.When I was finally discharged, I felt a strange mix of relief and anxiety. I knew I couldn't stay in the hospital forever, but the thought of returning to Liam's mansion gave me goosebumps. To my surprise, when I arrived, I was led to a different room—a proper bedroom, not the cold cell I had been limited to before.I stared at the room in disbelief. It was simple but clean and comfortable. There was a bed with soft sheets, a small wardrobe, a desk, and even a window that let in the warm sunlight. I didn't know why Liam had made this change, but I was grateful. It felt like a small stepFor the life I wanted. Since he had started, definitely one day it would get b

    Liam's POVWhen I first heard that Maxine had passed out, I thought it was just another instance of her overreacting or maybe, she was just being lazy and avoiding training. But as days went by and she didn't return, a gnawing worry began to settle in my chest. Despite the act I maintained, I wasn't as heartless as everyone believed. It’s just that omegas disgust me a lot. I can't be associated with such weak people.I kept tabs on her progress, secretly calling the doctors and nurses to make sure she was receiving the best care. I made sure she ate good food and got the rest she needed. I didn’t want her to know that I cared; it was better for both of us if she believed I was heartless.What hurt me the most was hearing that Maxine had lost our baby. How could she have been so careless not to know she was pregnant? Is she a child? The thought angered me, but at the same time, a part of me felt a strange happiness at the idea of welcoming a child from an omega. It was a conflict I cou

    Maxine's POVI began to notice subtle changes in Clara. She was always in Alpha Liam's chambers, and any time he went out, she was there with him. Her dress sense had transformed, becoming more stylish. It was as if she was now taking over Luna's role that I was supposed to be.Clara seemed happier, her eyes sparkling with newfound confidence. She started giving me attitude, no longer visiting me or sitting with me as she used to. The few times she did come by, she would talk endlessly about Alpha Liam, how good he was to her, and how he made her feel special. I didn't know if she was lying or not but her looks justified it."Alpha Liam is so attentive," she gushed one day, her eyes glowing. "He’s always making sure I have everything I need."I forced a smile, but her words cut deep. Clara was also an omega, just like me. So why was she receiving such kindness while I was treated with disdain? Was it something I had done wrong? Or was it all because of my father? It wasn't fair that I

    MAXINEI got a job working at the pack hospital again. This time, I signed up to be a real medical practitioner. I was going to become a midwife. There were a few familiar faces at the hospital and lots of new ones.Still, I was grateful to Ronan for giving them this opportunity again.That evening, I walked back into my apartment. The dead herbs were still in a box on the floor in the kitchen. I wondered if I would go back. I used to pick herbs and sell them to women who wanted to get pregnant.It felt like eons ago. Times were simpler. Back then, I saved lives not help take them. That was a time when I didn’t have blood on my hands.I sighed, running my fingers through my hair. I wanted my simple life again. It was simple but everything made sense. I didn't have to try to untangle myself from this mess that was my reality.A knock on the door brought me back. Zel was back from work. She worked as a bartender a little while from our apartment. Zel had gotten the job. After the manag

    MAXINEI nodded, not trusting myself to speak without crying. Ella was right. I needed to let myself grieve. The love I once had for Ronan still occupied my heart.Lindsey reached out and held my hand. "We’re here for you, Maxine."I squeezed her hand, grateful for their support. They were right. I didn’t have to go through this alone. I had them.Maybe it wasn't so bad after all.***Going back to my old life felt like stepping into a strange place. There was the feeling of losing something. My apartment felt like a place from a faraway memory. Zel was gone and I was feeling so sad.I was back from saying goodbye. I unlocked the door and stepped inside. The space was just as I’d left it. There was still dust over everything. At least, I had something to do with my time.I took a deep breath. I hadn't lost everything. I was still okay.I began to clean up slowly. Lindsey stopped by to help me out and together, we covered a lot. As I was cleaning, I heard a knock on the door.“Are you

    MAXINEI wanted to believe her that everything would be okay but deep down, I felt guilt and grief. This was my fault. I pulled back from her and wiped my eyes. I gave her a shaky smile. “It doesn’t feel like it.”She cupped my cheek. “Everything isn't always as it seems, my dear. But, I can tell you one thing I know for sure.” She said.“What's that?”“It's not your fault. I'm sure you don't know where to go from here, what to do, or where you belong. You want to come with me, you want to continue your life back at the place where you and Zel liked and you want to go back to how things were in this pack.” Cinder explained.“But, I see you staying here. This is where your strength lies, where hope lives, where you have friends and support.” She lowered her eyes and winked. “It's where you have a future.”“And, we'll always be here for you to fall back on, regardless of what happens. We're your home away from home.” The Luna Queen said, putting her hand on my shoulder. “I'm very proud.

    MAXINEI didn't feel anything. No pain from a stab whatsoever. I looked between us and that's when Ronan smiled. His lips were close to my ear and he whispered, “I would never hurt you on purpose, love.”I didn't know when I screamed.Ronan collapsed into my arms, taking the both of us down to the ground with him. I tried my best to hold his head up on my lap. My eyes traveled down to the blood pouring down the stab wound in his belly.“Ronan,” I called, tears filling my eyes and rolling down my cheeks. He had stabbed himself.My hand shook as it hovered over the wound. I didn't know what to do. The dagger was in his chest.Ronan had chosen death. Death over a life without me.“Maxine…” he called, his voice unnaturally calm for someone who was dying. He reached up to touch me and I guided his hand to my cheek.“I'm here, I'm here,” I cried. “I'm sorry,” I whispered the last part. My hands shook as I held him. I never wanted this. I didn’t want him to die.Ronan gasped. He looked up

    MAXINEI held my breath as Ronan kept his eyes on mine. When he was close enough, he stopped. Neither of us said a word. The battle continued around us but I couldn't get myself to make the first move.He didn't either. I wondered if it was hard for him to see me. I wondered if he thought he could fight me. I also wondered if he thought that he could kill me.I spoke up first. “Ronan,” I called. My voice was sounding more longing than I wanted.I missed him, to be honest. I missed sitting down in the quiet and reading books. Strangely, I missed making his cinnamon coffee.Ronan didn't say anything. Instead, he took a step closer. “You don’t have to do this,” he said.There was no hurt, no anger in his voice, just nothing but kindness. I wished he would yell. I wished he would curse me and call me evil for everything I've done.“Come with me.” He said, softly. I heard it regardless of the noise. “We can fix this, Maxine. We'll leave everything behind together.”It sounded so good. But,

    MAXINEHe caught me off guard. It meant that he still cared about me. I didn't focus on that though. “I won’t, I promise,” I replied.We stood there in silence for a while, neither of us knowing what to say. I could feel it though. I could feel it. The unspoken feelings and questions we didn't have the time to ask.Or we didn't dare to ask, I guess.After everything that had happened, I still wasn’t sure where we stood. I said I was okay with him hating me but, I didn't know anymore. The lines between us were confusing now. I didn't know how to fix that.But now wasn’t the time to focus on that. We had a mission and that was a priority. Every other thing could come after. We would cross that bridge later.For some reason, Liam stepped closer and I held my breath. “Regardless of what has happened between us, out there?” He said, “No matter what happens, we’ll get through this together. Do you understand?”I nodded. “Together,” I repeated.Before I could say anything else, Zel appeared

They told us to come to them if we faced any issues.Sleep didn't come easy because my mind was entirely on Ronan. I didn't know how I was going to face him again after betraying his trust. But, I knew I couldn't sit out of this fight.The sun had not even risen when I was woken up by the sound of Liam's voice. He was given instructions and I heard more footsteps around the house than the number of people I had seen the previous day.It meant that Liam was already up and gathering the troops. I could hear him giving commands like it hadn't been two months since he was last in power. He was a natural-born leader. He carried this air of authority around him.He was giving orders, explaining ranks and positions for this fight. Every single detail was important to winning.Zel was still asleep, of course.

    MAXINEI chuckled bitterly. “What about now?” I asked. “Will you take me back now that I have a wolf? Isn't that what you've always wanted?”His eyes widened slightly but he kept himself composed. “That would be unfair to you. It would be wrong. If you want to come back to me, I will take you but the choice is yours now. You have a choice and I see now that I was wrong. I’m so sorry, Maxine. I hope you can forgive me.”Tears welled up in my eyes. I hadn't thought about this but I let the anger roll away from me. He was still family. He was my father. “I forgive you. You're my father, whether you abandon me or not.” I said.“Thank you, Maxine.” He said. He reached for me hesitantly. I would have settled for a handshake but he wrapped his hands around me. For the first time in what I knew was forever, my father hugged me.I didn't know what to feel about that.LIAMAfter Maxine spoke to her father, they returned to the living room.

After everything that had happened to her, it didn’t make sense. I glanced at her. The strange white-haired girl was sitting between us.Maxine was staring out of the window. The white-haired girl squeezed her hand. Maxine turned to look at her and offered her a small smile. That was when she caught me staring. She looked away, taking her eyes back to the window.It left me confused. Was she pissed at me? I was the one who had the right to be mad at her. She had chosen him over me. Well, the distance between us was necessary.I didn't know what I would say or do if I were sitting next to her. Kris took a sharp turn, causing Maxine to grab the handle of the car door.
