Liam’s PovWith Maxine back in her room, I turned my focus to fortifying the pack's defenses. I called a meeting with my most trusted advisors, laying out our strategy to ensure the safety of our territory."We need to increase patrols along the perimeter," I declared, my voice commanding attention. "I want every inch of our borders covered, day and night. We can't afford any breaches."Nods of agreement rippled through the room as my advisors scribbled notes and exchanged knowing glances. They understood the gravity of the situation and were ready to do whatever it took to protect our pack."Furthermore," I continued, "we need to bolster our communication networks. Any sign of rogue activity, no matter how small, needs to be reported immediately. We can't afford to be caught off guard. Also, keep a close eye on those coming in and out of this pack. Search them thoroughly and at least know their intentions or reasons why they are coming, we can't afford any surprises."As we dug deepe

Liam’s PovI had been contemplating giving Maxine a chance to follow her passion for helping people. He noticed how she found joy in lending a helping hand, whether it was volunteering to help the elders or assisting elderly neighbors with their groceries. It warmed his heart to see her so selflessly dedicated to making a difference in the pack. But I feared giving her such privileges might give her more chances to disrespect me.One day, I decided it was time to have a conversation with Maxine about granting her more freedom to pursue her interests. I know she would be happy. For once let me be the reason she smiled. I had planned to also talk to her about no longer needing her to do menial tasks around my mansion and instead encouraging her to focus on what she loved most—helping others and being a Luna.That evening, I decided to head over to her room. As I approached Maxine's room, my mind was filled with thoughts of the conversation we were about to have. And I anticipated the jo

Maxine PovRecovering from the storm of pain swirling around me felt like trying to swim against a current dragging me under. Liam's treatment was brutal, leaving me feeling like a shipwreck stranded on a desolate shore. Every ounce of hope I clung to vanished, leaving me adrift in a sea of despair and confusion.In the depths of my suffering, I cursed the very world that had brought me into existence. The Moon goddess, in her infinite cruelty, seemed to delight in my agony, though I had done nothing to deserve it. Why was I singled out for such punishment? What had I done to draw her? And my father's words failed me now, I wished one day, I’d have the opportunity to tell him my mind to his face.With each passing day, the weight of my torment grew heavier, crushing me beneath its relentless pressure. Tobias, my one comforter in this bleak existence, was barred from giving me even the smallest comfort. I in fact was suffering now, stripped of his title because of rendering help to me.

Maxine's POVLiam returned injured, and despite the anger and resentment I harbored towards him, I couldn’t ignore the part of me that cared. Seeing him vulnerable and in pain stirred something deep within me. I pushed aside my feelings and focused on nursing him back to health.Every morning, I would wake up early to prepare his meals. I made sure to include nutritious ingredients that would aid his recovery. I would brew herbal teas, known for their healing properties, and make sure they were warm and ready for him to drink throughout the day.“Here, drink this,” I said one morning, handing him a steaming cup of herbal tea. “It will help with the pain and speed up your healing.”Liam took the cup from me, our fingers brushing slightly. His eyes searched mine, perhaps looking for any hint of malice or resentment. But I kept my expression neutral, focusing solely on his recovery.“Thank you, Maxine,” he said, his voice softer than I was used to.I simply nodded and went about preparin
