“Seriously Hilton, I swear on the moon goddess, Maverick and I have no intimate relationship. We are only involved in a marriage of convenience, he has been protecting me all these while from my father, it is because I am Luna that he dared not touch me,” Anabella explains softly while Hilton just continues to stare at her.

She had explained the reason why they had to be together and he was starting to feel a little bit bad for jumping into conclusion.

“I know that no one among the members of Night Pack likes me because of the kind of relationship I have with Aurora and I have no words to say in favor of myself, but I swear it, Hilton, I would never cheat on my own mate, not even before I met him, not with Maverick_”

“Is that supposed to make me feel better? A compliment or an insult?” Maverick scoffs, he is standing at the door, staring at both Aurora and Hilton with bored eyes.

Hilton had told him to get out earlier when he entered after Aurora got out but there’s no way he was leav

    “What the hell is that idiot saying?” Layla asks, staring at the receding figures of the men, Anabella has dragged Hilton to gods know where.“Phoebe is back,” Aurora says and Easton nods which makes Layla’s eyes widen to saucers.“What The Fuck?!” Layla yells and Aurora only sighs. “Who informed you?”“Zach.” Aurora, Easton and Kael say at the same time.“What the fuck? He told you guys but not me? What the hell? What if I am not with you guys and I have no way to contact anyone to tell me?” She yells.“Then that will be your problem,” Easton utters with a shrug.“The hell is that you blocked the mind link between the both of you, so there’s no way for him to contact him even if he wants to, bitch,” Kael states with an eye roll.“How on earth does your relationship even work? If I am your mate, I will have rejected your sorry ass,” Easton grouses and Layla scoffs.“I feel so sorry for your mates, they have to tolerate all your shits for the rest of their life, poor thing,” Layla says

    “I totally didn't see that coming!” Layla exclaims with wide eyes. “Now it makes sense! Tessie and Jennie won't give him a pass for him simply because he is their friend, those bitches are sluts! They don't go near him because he is their step brother and they will be doing incest by doing that!”“Even though I am surprised that it is not on their to-do list,” Sadie says.“Yeah, I must say that I didn't expect that either, the Brian family really did well to keep it all under wraps. Throughout the entire thing I spent here I never heard of him having a son,” Aurora nods.They are walking to the pack hospital, Layla and Sadie had met her on their way back from the pack house and Layla had wasted no time to give her the gist of the event.“I must say that you don't look shocked, Sadie,” Aurora notes and Sadie smiles.“I have always known that Mr. Brian has a kid outside wedlock with a werewolf from another pack, they weren't mates, just a one night stand that led to pregnancy. The woman

    “Take this Aurora,” Sadie says, dropping a few files in Aurora's hand. “That's everything that you asked me for, honestly, most of your members are doing a pretty good job too, I don't have any problem with them, they follow my instructions to the t’s, except for a mischievous few, but all is good and those are the overall report. I ask them about it and they say that it is okay for me to give it to you, some were even annoyed that I bothered to ask them instead of dumping it all in your hands so that you can deal with all the stress.”“Yeah, I remember one of the oldies telling you about it,” Layla says with a laugh.There is a knock on the door and Sadie invites whoever it was at the door in.Hilda comes inside the office and smiles at everyone except Aurora and now she is sure that the woman is doing it on purpose.Normally she won't care about things like this but there's this indignant and disdainful way that she goes about doing it that hits Aurora in all the sour spots.“I was

    Layla is missing, she has been missing for the past three days, she sent enough signals to them so that they know that she is still alive but block herself off from them entirely.She is not a wolf that can be scented out like no one's business, she even blocks off her mate and Aurora is sure that she will have a scent cloaking spell on herself.Zach is going crazy, the man has crazy dark circles under his eyes and constantly looks like life has been sucked out of him, Aurora doesn't blame him, it is crystal clear that Zach is the least of people the Layla wants to see.“Have you heard anything from her?” Zach asks and Aurora shakes her head.“Except for the occasional signal that she sends to let us know that she is alive, nothing else.”“Can't you follow that signal or something?” He runs his hand through his messy undone hair, usually it is styled in pompadour, but looks like he can't be bothered about it. He just wants to find his mate.“A powerful witch can do that, but not me. F

    “They want us to come to their pack for a week or two. They want you there, Alpha Vincent claims that it will assure her m to see your face and judge your book by its cover since that's his only way,” Maverick says and Aurora raises her head and looks straight into his blue eyes.It has been over two weeks that they really had any sort sitting together, they were not avoiding each other but since the pack councils are not making that much of a fuse after they both shut them down on the day Mr. Prill and Sally arrived at the pack, they hardly saw each other anymore.Both of them were dealing with the issues of their own people privately until there was something to bring them both to the table.Like the Eastwood Pack issue.“How has their investment in Moonlight Pack got anything to do with us? Did those bunch of asses think that we would go vandalizing all their buildings or something?” Easton asks with an eye roll, he is already annoyed to bring with something Aurora knows nothing of

    “So? To what the hell do I owe you this visit, Ms. Brian?” Aurora asks, staring at Phoebe who is standing with her hips cocked to the side, arrogance emanating off her in waves but it is of no use at the moment, because Aurora definitely looks more smug and authoritative.She wore black fitted leather jacket with stud, it is unzipped so it shows her white tank top that had the word ‘Bitch Please’ written on it in red and in jaggy font, a gold necklace on her neck, her chunky belt holding the ripped denim jeans that hug her curves tightly with black knee-high boots.Her messy shoulder length hair is packed and slightly tousled, she stands with her feet apart, arms crossed and her chin is tilted up, her direct gaze daring Phoebe to speak out of turn.While Phoebe is standing in one of her favorite white tube tops, fitted black pleated mini skirt with ankle strap heels.Unlike Aurora who has the natural looks going on, she used bold eyeliners with red lipstick and hair flowing down her b

    “It would have been better if she stayed back home under the protective wings of their parents,” Sadie shrugs as they head to Moonlight Pack House.“How do you know about it?” Aurora asks, and she is sure that Phoebe is not the kind of person that will let that huge of a secret that also happens to be her weakness out in the open.“You know, Ellie?” Sadie asks and Aurora nods. Everyone knows the best gossip woman in the Moonlight Pack. “Her daughter happens to be friends with the best friend of the mate of the Beta of the Sinister Smile Pack.”“Sinister Smile Pack? Are they some kind of idiots trying to be villains? That sounds like some idiot named it.”“You named yours Lala land. Are you some kind of fairy godmothers trying to bring balance to the kids of the world? That sounds like the name of an amusement park.”“Touché.”“Sinister Pack, is the twin pack of Blood Moon Pack though, and it is ruled by the same Alpha.”“Why didn't they just combine the two packs if they have the same

    “Layla is one sneaky bitch, I must commend your friend for that,” Stephanie says with a nod and Aurora stares at her with a raised brow.“Does that mean that you can’t bring her back?” Sadie chimes in and Stephanie chuckles.“There are many things I don’t know which way around, but trust me darling, finding someone is not one of them. That’s my area of expertise.” Stephanie clarifies before she snaps her fingers and Layla appears into the room, practically out of nowhere, she is in the process of raising a spoon of Spaghetti into her mouth with a plate in her other hand.She doesn’t notice that her environment has changed and continues to eat but pauses when she notices that the décor of the room is different from the one that she was earlier, she raises her head when she hears laughter.“OMG! Don’t tell me that you were busy enjoying life while we are here trying to enjoy life?” Sadie asks in between laughter and Layla looks around and glares at them, her eyes lingering on Stephanie

    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. There’s nothing I can do and why the fuck are you even hell-bent on not sharing the room with that gorgeous man, I mean, I wi

    “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
