“There wasn’t any sight of her in the morning, the guards are on alert ever since they sighted Crystalbell at the edge of the territory,” Owen reports as soon as he is inside the meeting room.“Is it true that Aurora is out of the territory?” Easton asks as soon as he enters the room, he didn’t even bother to close the door behind him.“Yes,” Zach says, his eyes on Easton as he went to sit on the chair.“What makes you so sure?”“Crystalbell sent a letter to her yesterday when we were in the woods, she wants her to meet outside the territory, apparently, she has information about why she set the pack on fire,” Maverick informs, it is obvious that he is worried but he manages to keep his calm, the same can’t be said about Easton who has stand up from his seat and is pacing around.“Of course, she will. She is the one that set it on fire,” Jared says.“Why didn’t you say anything? You were both there and you know the content of the letter, yet you decide to keep it to yourself?!” Easton

“You seem surprised,” Layla says with a smirk.“I never knew about it, none of the pack members said it and you never said it yourself,” Maverick replies.“Hi, I am Layla, the assistant witch of the Night pack, I am a human and witch hybrid,” Layla says and Maverick nods.“Should I just enter?” He asks, glancing at the portal and Layla shakes her head.“I am trying to let it appear to the closest place to Aurora so that you don’t have to waste a lot of time looking for her,” she answers and he pauses in his actions. “Don’t worry about anything. I can feel Aurora and I know that she is not in any sort of danger.”“Then what was all the fuse about? You could have told Easton that when he was blowing up in the room,” Maverick replies emotionlessly, but the relief in his eyes is obvious. Layla feels that the man is just a huge muscular stone with no feelings whenever Aurora is nowhere in sight.“You know…” Layla trails off and Maverick raises his head to look at her. “When Zach and I firs

Maverick walks around, holding the tiny crystals that Layla gave to him in his left hand. She told him to use it to fight against witches in case they are the one that held Aurora captive.It is for his own protection before he gets one from Aurora, apparently, it is over Layla’s dead body that she will let him go fight a bunch of witches without something to protect him.He stops when he is right in front of the pole that she is tied to, there is noise outside and when he turns he is able to make out the presence of some men on the other side of the shed.He listens attentively and is able to make out the presence of four men with his heightened sense of hearing, they are walking close or around the shed but there must be others around too, given that there is some talking the far distance, probably towards the main entrance to wherever this place that they are is.He turns to face Aurora and flinches when she suddenly peels her eyes open, she stares at him creepily, blinking slowly b

Aurora quickly removes the hand holding his shirt as soon as they are out of the portal.Both of them didn’t say anything to each other, the kiss has made everything awkward all over again.Aurora can’t deny the jolting feeling that ran up her spine the moment his lips connected to her, the feeling that settled in her heart and the relief that swept over her_ it was like getting a bit of water after being forced to thirst for a long period of time, it relieves you and also makes you want more. She wants more than lips placed on another, she wants to see the fully fledged pleasure that peaked at her in all its glory.She didn’t doubt that she would have deepened the kiss if she hadn’t been rendered motionless, because of the way he kept grinding his lips on her to let the potion enter her mouth, her lips has kept tingling since that moment up till now, her blood is boiling and hands are trembling as she remember the bliss that settled over her.She hates it, she hates every bit of this

“Do you have something against my pack members or something?” Maverick asks, he clearly notices that way Aurora places emphasis on any word she is using to describe his pack members.Aurora scoff in disbelief and let out a sarcastic chuckle, she rolls her eyes in irritation mixed with annoyance, and takes a step back from him.“Do I have something against them?” Aurora asks, and another scoff falls from her lips involuntarily. “Do you even need to ask before you know that?”“You still hold a grudge.” It is not a question but a statement that just happens to be a fact.“I don’t have anything against the new generation, the kids at your pack and the teenagers, but don’t you think I should a hold a fucking huge grudge against everyone else?” She asks but he doesn’t reply.“You seem to forget that my mom, my step dad, my step sister, those darn pack council members, those darn old men and women with disgusting stares from all members of your pack.” She answers with indifference. “I don’t d

Both of them are now angry, none of them giving the other the time and opportunity to complete a sentence, both of them with so much to say and little space, it didn’t help that they both become hotheaded and hot-tempered whenever they had a little bit discussion over their past.“Of course, I don’t have time to point out the steps you take to make all that possible, as I say, it is none of my damn business but I must say that you enjoy the trampling and mockery so much that you are repeating the process all over again with Anabella_”“What? Is that how low you think of your sister?” He mutters “Can you take the imagination of how low I think of her lower, a lot lower, even lower and then you will be there. I think the least of her, what are you going to do about it?” She asks, her lips pull to a mocking smirk. “And stop calling her my sister, she associated with you intimately, that’s none of the things a loyal sister will do.”“We are not intimate, you should give her a lot of credi

They both enter the house and Aurora face palms when she realizes that the smallness is not some sort of sham to hide its hugeness or beauty, it is actually even smaller inside.“How the hell can you build a house with a single room, a bathroom and kitchen, then end it there and call it a day?” Aurora asks and the woman shrugs.“This house is supposed to be a mansion but I got tired after building a room and let it be, plus it is only me, myself and I inside this place and it is enough, don't you think that it's classy?” She asks and Aurora shakes her head.“Classy my foot,” Maverick mutters and the woman turns to glare at him, he only ignores her and looks around the room. “What are we supposed to do in this place now? You must have bought us here for a reason right?”“Right on the head, Alpha. I brought you here so that you can do something important for me,” she chirps and Aurora groans.“Fuck my life, I know that there will be some sort of catch in this thing,” Aurora says with ano

“Damn!” The woman on the bed says, sitting up on the bed. “Is it supposed to take her this long to sleep? She must have a lot going on in her mind,” she adjusted her sitting position. “But then it will be super strange if she doesn't, considering all the things you have done to her in the past few months.”“You aren't really going to let me sleep, are you?” Maverick asks quietly, still lying down with his eyes closed and the woman on the bed humming, he opens his eyes and the sight of Aurora's face very close to her is what he sees.“Sorry, I didn't remember to tell you that your dearest’s face is right in front of you, don't worry. You can say whatever you want to, she won't wake up,” the woman says before she starts to mutter some spells under her breath.Her features gradually start changing from that of an old woman to that of a young woman in her early twenties, as well as her body too.“You really got good with your body transformation spell, I almost didn't know that it was you,

Aurora knows that she is losing, and fast but she is putting up a good fight too, she will be damned before she let these people take her away to do god knows what.“Bitch, you are up to it again,” One of the vampires says and Aurora raises her brow with a cocky smirk but there's a lot of wounds at places she can point to and others that she knows that she will only discover at a later date.This fight will have been fairer if she has a normal wolf healing ability but since she is an omega and her wolf is absent, her healing rate is a just a lot lesser than a regular wolf’s.“Of course, what else did you expect when you brought five of you even though you expect me to be very out of it?” She says and the werewolf scoffs.“You are really made for that damn man,you are both ridiculously cocky,” he says, gesturing to Maverick who is still leaning on the car and Aurora shrugs.“Well, you guys don't make it hard to be cocky,” Aurora says, using a speed spell and before any of the witches c

“And I am pleased to inform you that the elders approved her,”Ferix says to the council members and all of them get out of the room.“No qualms Alpha, but I hate you park council,” Ferix says to Vincent who is walking by her side while Maverick and Aurora walk side by side in front of them.“You won't love Maverick's pack councill too, it is like those people are made purposefully for the purpose of being douchebags,” Vincent replies as the elevator closes.Maverick and Aurora are silent, none of them talk as Vincent and Ferix go back and forth about matters of pack and the building they wanted to build.“Me and Ferix have some other things to discuss, we will see you both at a later date, I think that the contract signing process is already over now, we just wait a bit and everything will be finalized, my beta will contact you, Maverick,” Vincent says and Maverick nods. “It is really nice meeting you, I mean it sincerely this time, not in the business way, it is really nice to put th

“Since we are done here,allow us to take our leave, it was nice meeting you, Lycan King, I am Kate,” The woman who is dressed fashionably says and Maverick nods at her, standing up to shake her hand.Aurora nods her head, the woman really does seem like a Kate.“I never expected to meet you right here,” Ferix says to Aurora as Maverick continues to greet the elders who seem like they are enjoying having the man's attention on them even though the latter's face is blank, no warmth towards them at all.“I could say the sake about you, how on earth do you end up being the architect?”“I have been for a very long time, I was part of the people that drew the building that was built in Moonlight Pack two year ago,”“It was built two years ago?” Aurora asks furrowing her brows and Ferix nods his head, she thought that it has always been there for the past five years but the fact that it was just built recently makes her get some prodding feelings.“So you are the Rogue Witch Leader? Uh?” He

The car pulled to a halt in the parking lot of a very sparkly and shimmering building, there’s lightning all over the place.Aurora comes down from the car, and she raises her head to stare at the name of the bar.“Devil’s Light,” she reads out and smacks her lips. “Very fitting, there’s no way these lights aren’t devilish.”Maverick comes down from the other side of the car and walks to her side, they both stare at it for a bit before they nod and start to walk to the guards at the door.Maverick shows them their card and they allow them entrance, their eyes looking at the numerous humans having the fun of their life, dancing to the loud beats of the D.J, having no idea of the supernatural club that is on the floor right above theirs.“Ignorance is really bliss,” Maverick mutters and Vincent arrives at their side in time, Aurora doesn’t miss the glare that Maverick sends his way, but she ignores it, the man did say that he offended him.“This way,” he says and they nod, following him

“You seriously can’t continue to make me sleep on the couch. That’s not done, how about we do it like this? We take turns, you sleep in bed today, I will tomorrow.” Aurora says as they enter the elevator and press the ground floor button, she is already sick of staying in the living room till morning.“You are just complaining, I am sure that you aren’t feeling any sort of pain.” Maverick replies, hands buried in his pocket as he stares ahead.Of course there is no way she will feel sore since most of the nights, she sleeps on the bed anyway, and not once has she ever woke up while being carried to and away from the bed.Whether it is because she feels safe in the environment or she just always has to involuntarily let her guard down at night, he will never know.“Yes, I don’t feel pain but that doesn’t make it any less uncomfortable, let’s just take turns and be fair,”“I did not know that you play fair, you don’t seem to consider taking turns when you readily agreed to Vincent that

“What? No,” he says with a small chuckle and turns to glance at Aurora who is sleeping peacefully on the bed through the glass, he turns to face the view again.“Of course, I won’t be able to come since fucking rival 1.0 is right there,” she says and Maverick can picture her doing an eye roll. “Why the hell did you call me?”“Because you will be the only one awake at this time,”“Of course, that shit ass beta of yours will be on fucking period and will subtract your head from you fucking neck if you wake him up.”“I am glad that you know that.”“How is the fucking situation?” she asks and he is silent for a bit, his eyes sweeping over the many small lights in the distance.“We have decide to be friends,”“Wait? What? You have decided to be friends?! You fucking talked about it?!” she yells which makes Maverick remove the phone from his ear to protect his eardrums. “You didn’t talk about it?! None of you fucking mentioned the freaking past and just decides to be damn friends?”“You kno

“Are you sure that there’s still no room in this damn hotel?” Aurora asks the bitchy receptionist who is now glaring at her.“I am going to say this for the last time ma’am, there is no room available for the rest of this month, we are booked fully.”“There won’t be anything if I offer to pay three times the amount.”“Would you like it if I kicked you out because someone offered to pay threefold, Ma’am? Even though I will do that to you without being offered so much.” she asks but mutters the last part and Aurora scoffs. The only reason the woman is not tearing her hair is because one of the executives is in the premises, and if a receptionist of an hotel who prides the opinion of the clients is found insulting one of the clients, shit will go down for the said employee, there must also be the press lurking around somewhere too.“Now get out of my sight ma’am.

“And whatever do you mean by ‘You are Maverick Prill and room 232 is yours?’ What about the second room? My room?” Aurora asks the peachy receptionist.“Exactly what you heard. Do you have some difficulty hearing stuff?” The woman replies sarcastically and Aurora almost scoffs.This is the problem with having a pack in a place crowded by humans, even when they need to show courtesy, they end up being super duper rude, Aurora can bet her life on it that if this woman is a werewolf and knows of her reputation, she will do well to talk to her with a lot of respect.“So you are trying to say that there's only one room reserved under our name?” Maverick asks with a raised brow, practically asking the same question as Aurora, the man seems to have a hard time believing it since he is the one that made a reservation for two rooms himself.“Yes handsome. It appears that way and even though I don't want your gorgeous self to spend the next two weeks in the same place as her,” she says to Maver

“I didn't know that Alpha Maverick had a private jet at his disposal,” Easton snickers sarcastically and Alec scoffs.“What do you think we are? Some barbarians that stay in a place?”“I don't think that you are too far from that,” Kael says.“Except for the fact that this pack is the richest pack in the whole southern area and top five in the whole world, you must be an imbecile to think that they commute on foot,” Layla pipes up and both Kael and Easton glares at her.“Which pack are you from exactly?” Easton asks and Layla shrugs.“Why don't you switch packs and declare yourself as a bonafide member of the Moonlight Pack instead of being a backstabber?” Kael asks but Layla only pokes her tongue out at him.“I would have done that but then that means that their beta will have to follow me, you can't function properly without your Beta and your beta can't function at all without me_”“Who fed you those delusions?” Kael asks.“Need I remind you of went down with your beta these past t
