Maya's POV

The door opened, and Dorothy walked inside, a plate in hand, with a slice of cake resting on it.

“Hi,” she greeted a bit nervously. “I brought some cake for you two. Thought you would like something sweet.”

Generous as the gesture was, I couldn’t say I was in a mood for cake, nor did I want to be in the same room as her. Not after what she did. Sure, she was probably frightened when she saw the Rogues. Anyone would if they see a group of monsters like them. However, not only did she leave me behind, she led me to those Rogues. And going by Danielle and the others’ reactions, the fact that those guys- banished by their home packs- somehow made their way this deep in Preparatory Pack was unnatural, and thus very suspicious.

For all I know, she led me to those wolves, and wanted to leave me there to die.

“Not hungry,” Zeke spoke first, making his way to the door. “I’m using the bathroom. I’ll be right back.”

At that, he left the room, leaving me with Dorothy. I avoided eye con

    Maya's POV“Just… a little… more…” I groaned, reaching up a high shelf for a certain box. That being something my roommate, Jills, had asked me to get for her. “Pregnancy test?”a teasing voice sounded above my head, before someone took a box off the shelf and handed it to me.I turned and froze when I laid eyes on a man in a trench coat with a black hat concealing the top half of his face behind me. I felt a bit frightened by his large build, and did not want to get in trouble with him. With a soft ‘thank you’, I took the box and hastily made my way to the register.“Just this, please. For a friend,”I said to the cashier, awkwardly adding that last part to avoid any misunderstanding from them.Though, if I could be honest, I really wished the test was for me, but for werewolves like my boyfriend, it would go against tradition if we were to have a baby before we wed, or get marked as mates beforehand. This was especially true given his status in the pack as the Delta. Once I finished

    Zeke's POVI raised my brow as I looked down at the phone in my hand, taken aback by the receiver of the call I made just seconds ago. Not once had I ever been spoken to in the manner she had taken with me. Even through the phone, any werewolf picking up my call would become too intimidated, hearing my voice alone. And yet, whoever this person was did not even stutter as she spoke to me in such a manner.I was not the only one intrigued by this, clearly, for my Beta- Ethan- most especially found this amusing, if the way he was trying to conceal his mouth was of any indication of such.“Ha ha ha. Wow, did that really take me by surprise. I didn’t think there was actually a human gutsy enough to yell at you the way that one did,” he said, trying to stop himself from laughing, only to fail miserably.“Keep laughing, and I will take that as you volunteering to be set as a picture-perfect example of what will happen to any who defy me,” I threatened, prompting Ethan to instantly cease his

    Maya's POV“Thanks again for letting me stay, Corina,” I thanked, having tea at a friend’s place.“Of course, Maya. You know I’ll always have your back,” Corina said. According to my knowledge, Corina was half-werewolf and half-human. When she was eight, her family moved to this pack and settled in the outskirts of the city. We met at a volunteer event I had to attend- to gain the favor of other werewolves- and Corina was the only one who helped me get through the whole thing. She had been a true friend to me since then.“Still, what happened earlier today? You completely left me after you got that text. Did something happen between you and your boyfriend?” Corina asked.The second she asked me that, I was instantly reminded of what I found out between my ‘roommate’ and now-ex-boyfriend. I grew so angry, but I didn’t want to accidentally snap at Corina, who had nothing to do with the situation.So I took a deep breath before starting to tell Corina what happened earlier today. How Ji

    Maya's POVI arrived at Sweethunt Cafe, where there were barely any customers within. I couldn’t help but feel frustrated. Yesterday, I had thought the person who called me was a scammer, a prank caller, and went off on him. He was probably annoyed with my manner. Although I wasn't sure if he would show up, I still took a seat at an empty table, ordered a cup of coffee, and waited. Hours passed since I arrived. The sunlight near the window became dazzlingly bright, and the busy hours were coming to an end in the cafe. And yet, with every customer that had been coming by, not one approached me nor seemed remotely familiar. ‘He won’t come. I should go back to Corina’s. She might be worried about me,’ I sighed, rose from my seat and left payment for the coffee and lunch on the table and took my leave.As I exited out the cafe, my head down in disappointment with my day, I didn’t notice someone walking in front of me and bumped into that person.“Oof! I’m sorry. I-” I paused as I looked

    Maya's POVNight had come, and so was the Crescent Night Gala. After changing into some elegant dresses, Corina and I made our way to the party. While she had on a nice green dress with a crossover neck, I was wearing a navy blue dress with only one strap on the left side, and a slit on the right. When we arrived, the party was in full swing. I subconsciously kept one hand down by my side, trying to cover the slit that was revealing my thigh. “I really wish you would lend me that dress instead,” I said, not used to these sorts of dresses.“Ah, don’t be shy. You look great in that,” Corina said. “Besides, you’re wearing a mask. No one would know it’s you.”“Am I supposed to be reassured or offended by that?” I questioned, having mixed feelings with that statement. Corina only giggled, and gave me a pat on the back. “Chin up. You look stunning, Maya. Oh, how about the punch bowl? I’m feeling parched.”I nodded to that, and followed her to the punch bowl. As we made our way there, thou

    Zeke's POVI stared down at the flustered human, left speechless with her mouth gaping like a fish’s. I must admit, though I did question Jayden for his new ‘girlfriend’s’ stupidity, there was something about this human’s reaction that was endearing. ‘Amusing’, even. So much so, I wanted to tease her more.But there’s one werewolf nearby- the one laughing with her just seconds ago- then staring at us in shock with her jaw dropped. Through my mask, I narrowed my eyes in a glare, in which she jumped at, no doubt sensing the glare.“Right. So, I will be on my way now. You two can… Yeah. See you later, Maya,” she hastily said, walking away.The human became baffled by her friend’s sudden leave and reached out to her. “Wha-?! Wait, Corina!” Despite her call, her friend was already long gone.I turned back to the human, grabbing her by the hand. “How about a dance, milady?” I asked in a low tone.I could feel her tremble at my request, before nodding. I led her to the dance floor, near the

    Maya’s POV“Your grandmother thought what?!” I gasped, baffled by what the Alpha told me.“I said because of that photo I told you about, Grandma believes we’re in a relationship. With you being pregnant with my child,” he repeated. We were in his car, driving to the clinic to get my arm treated, which was starting to bruise. Not because of the Alpha when he pinned me to the wall earlier, but more from when Jayden grabbed me before that. As he drove, the Alpha explained the questions his grandmother was asking me. Though the explanation did answer the point of those questions, it left me with more confusion. Particularly…“Can’t we tell her that it was a misunderstanding?” I inquired.“If it were that simple, we wouldn’t be in this situation to start with,” he pointed out.We soon arrived at a clinic, where the doctor was treating my arm. As he was giving me treatment, the Alpha went to make a phone call right outside the building. Not long after he finished treating my arm and left

    Maya’s POVI awoke to the alarm clock ringing with a yawn. After shutting the alarm off, I got out of bed and tidied myself up for the big day.“You’re really going to find a job?” Corina asked, cooking some omelet for breakfast. “You know, it wouldn’t hurt to try being more seductive on Alpha Zeke. Win over his heart so you don’t have to worry about living in the pack?”“Of course I am sure.” I rolled my eyes slightly at her ‘suggestion’, remembering a few of those techniques Corina tried to teach me after we got back from the clinic two nights ago. “And I doubt I would ever win him over, no matter how much makeup you put on me or what sort of… ‘love technique’ you’ll teach me.”Corina pouted at me then. “Even though it would’ve been a whole lot easier for you if you would learn these techniques?”I nervously laughed at her insistence in teaching me these things, and looked at the clock. “Oh! Would you look at the time? I gotta go.”“The omelet is almost done, though,” Corina told me

    Maya’s POV“Maya!” Zephyr cried out, as she and Danielle rushed to my aid. “Oh dear, what happened to you?!”Looking back down at myself, I noticed that I was covered in some dirt, with a few scrapes. No doubt from the fall earlier. I glanced up at Dorothy, noticing how she was avoiding eye contact from me. Looking guilty, if anything.‘Did she regret leaving me behind?’ I wondered. Only, that shouldn’t be the case. Why would she feel regret over this, when she did what anyone else would? Besides, she knows I’m just a fake girlfriend.Regardless, despite what happened, it was still her birthday today, too. It would be too cruel to ruin her day because of this.“I was feeling a bit stuffy in the castle and wanted to go for a walk,” I said instead, causing her to turn to me wide-eyed. “I didn’t mean to go far, but I encountered some Rogues in the woods.”The last part caused a commotion amongst the werewolves.“Rogues?! In our pack?!”“How could there be Rogues in our territory?!”“It h

    Maya’s POVI ran after Dorothy in the woods as fast as I could, looking around for any sign of a human-like girl or a wolf-like creature in the area. I would’ve brought backup, but aside from not wanting to waste time in the search, I did not want to cause a commotion in having people know that something was wrong with the birthday girl.Thankfully, though I was no werewolf, I was taught how to find tracks by my parents when we went camping one time, and Dorothy left quite an abundance of them. Be they footprints on the ground or grass, or some disturbance in the trees.I soon followed the tracks to a pond, with a small waterfall falling into it. Right by it was Dorothy, who still seemed to be suffering, with her body shifting still. Eventually, she began changing completely, as her body grew bigger, with brown fur growing out of her. Her nails elongated, turning into claws, and even her face shifted, turning longer and wolf-like. A tail also poked out of her dress, which got torn dur

    Maya's POVMy suspicions were gradually getting realized as Dorothy gave me a tour around her home. At first, it seemed like a friendly tour, with a bit of boasting here and there. However, as it continued, I was starting to catch hints of hostility from Dorothy. Particularly when she questioned me about things like artwork or musical pieces in the werewolf world or anything historic- things I wouldn’t know about. “My goodness, if you have such little knowledge about our world, I now wonder if you are truly capable of being an appropriate Luna for the Red Nights,” Dorothy stated, still going on with the tour. Although she made that statement in disappointment, I could sense a hint of amusement in her tone.“Sorry,” I could only say in response, not wanting to do anything to upset Dorothy. Or at least, not in a way where she would make a fuss.Dorothy only sighed. “For someone like you to be selected in pretending to be Zeke’s future Luna, just what is Miss Zephyr even thinking?” I w

    Maya’s POVIt had been a few days since I regained consciousness. Not only that, but my recovery ended faster than it should’ve. I wasn’t sure if it was because of whatever herbs or meds the werewolves used on me, but I could’ve sworn I needed to stay in recovery for another few weeks, at least. And yet, according to the doctor who treated me, I turned out to be fit as a fickle. And now?“Do you see that town over there? That’s my friend’s pack, Preparatory Pack,” Zephyr introduced, pointing to an area the driver was taking us to up ahead.My eyes widened at the sight of it, as it looked more like a city back home in the human world. “Whoa… I didn’t know there were packs like that,” I breathed out in awe.We were in a limo, being driven down the expressway to the pack for Zephyr’s friend’s granddaughter’s birthday. I sat there, a bouquet in hand, holding back my excitement as we were being driven there. It had been far too long since I last went on a trip to anywhere, the last one I h

    Maya’s POVI awoke to the feeling of a rough hand on my cheeks. Opening my eyes, I was visibly surprised to see Alpha Zeke looking down at me. “What’s going on?” I asked, unsure how to take this situation. Or even what to think of it.The bed I was on was extremely soft. Softer than anything I’d ever laid on. I slowly got up, my body feeling somewhat sore. The blanket slowly slid off me, but I paid it no mind, as I rubbed my temple with a groan, feeling a slight headache coming on. As I did so, I noticed something odd about my sleeve. That being how big it was, as it slid down my arm, revealing an IV tube in me. I looked down at myself, noticing I was in a white oversized button-up shirt- a man’s shirt, no less!- with some of my breasts being revealed from the top. My eyes widened, a terrible feeling rising in me, as I slid my other hand down to my lower body under the blanket…Not even underwear.I gasped in embarrassment, and brought the blankets up, covering my chest completely.

    “I believe I told you there was nothing I could do.”“Not the one I had you search for.” As she raised her glass to her lips, she froze at my correction. The content was not even hitting her lips yet, as she lowered the glass. “This one is different. This one… is my second.”That got her attention, as she turned to me in interest. “I’ve heard how wolfie here has moved on. With a human, no less. So it was true? What a surprise,” she stated.I was in no mood to play games with her, and continued with my request. “She’s in a coma right now. Having suffered from the aftereffects of a rejection some time back. Her body, especially, suffered the most, as it’s now covered in blood and bruises. She’s been showing no signs of waking up since then. Do you have anything to help her break out of her coma?”“Plenty,” Wendy answered, grabbing something from her pocket. “Just so happens I brought one with me.”She handed the bottle to me, in which I took it in my hands and inspected it. “That’s use

Normally, I would be in my office doing this work, but feel uneasy leaving this room. Leaving Maya here alone.A few days passed since she became free of Jayden’s mark, suffering the aftermath of the rejection in the process. Since then, she had been asleep in my bed. Stuck in a coma, as Maryanne said she would be.Maryanne had been doing her job to check on her daily, giving her IV fluids as needed, and even helping her injuries heal, but there had been no sign of her waking at all. If it weren’t for the heart rate monitor she’s been strapped to, I would’ve thought she was… dead.The thought frightened me a bit, as I glanced at her sleeping form again. ‘This is all because of that damn Delta,’ I thought in realization, feeling my wolf raging just thinking about that guy.

    Zeke’s POVWhen I agreed to help this human solve her problem, it was to right a wrong that was committed to her by one of my people. If I let this crime slide, who knew what more Jayden would do to abuse his authority. Worse, if rumors had spread, I would have either seen as a weak, irresponsible Alpha to other packs. Those I especially couldn’t have.“Hey, Maya. Maya!” I called, kneeling by her side, with several other of my men.“Hey, is she okay?!”“Idiot, of course not! You know how painful a rejection is to us werewolves. For a human who is weaker than us, it has to be even worse!”I grew more worried when I heard one of my men say that. Though we were in a relationship, it was nothing more than a contracted relationship, not one of pure, fond feelings towards one another. And yet… as I looked down at her fainted figure, taking in her scent in full, something stirred in me. There was a strange scent on her. It was only after I helped her get rid of Jayden’s mark that I realized
