Maya’s POV

Everything that I had just found out about— that I had just learnt seemed to drip into my head in tiny droplets of liquidated information. What was all that alpha Jamil was telling me? Why would anyone— why would alpha Rick do all of that to innocent people?

All because of greed? Because he was power hungry? Was that really a good excuse for him to use to justify himself?

Alpha Rick had been the one who had destroyed the pack that was populated by white wolves.

He was also the person that killed alpha Jamil in a selfish bid to take over the blood moon pack.

Alpha Rick was the main— in fact, he was the only reason that her life was a miserable shitty part of the existence of life and nature.

I could not do any other thing than to think and think and think all over again. I could not find a word to describe my current situation and state of mind, but to say that I was majorly shocked was an understatement.

A very big one.

Why would Alpha Rick do that? Why did he destroy the

    Asher's povThe spell's effect wore off with time and Maya woke up from her unconsciousness but was looking unsettled and weak. I quickly stood up from my chair and went to give her some support as she stood up from where she laid. She said no word and stared blankly as I thanked Edward and we left. I was guessing that whatever she found out was still heavy news that she just recieved, probably heavier than the history of the white wolves that Tommy and Shalom told her during her consultation. She looked shaken as her eyes were unfocused while I led us both to the car.I helped her get into the passenger's seat and moved over to the driver's seat and got in. Once I was settled in the car, I turned to her and took her hand "Maya speak to me" I urged her and she licked her lips while her eyes turned wide with shock… it was like the news was hitting her with a greater shock this time "I'm a white wolf Asher, the last one of our kind" she replied and I froze too, growing speechless for a

    Maya's POVMy eyes were closed but not my mind. For the life of me, I couldn't sleep. Hell, I couldn't stop my mind from running wild the whole event that happened today.If not for the fact that Asher was in my room laying with me, I know I'd still be pacing the length of my room trying to unravel what Alpha Jamil meant by the prophecy. Not to mention the women in the cave had previously mentioned it. How do I take over something I know nothing about?It doesn't all sit well with me. My thoughts were in disarray and my head was in a riotous background scene. Nothing was playing out well.I still wanted to talk about it but I knew Asher would kick against it, that was the reason why I remained calmly on his chest and just listened to his heartbeat. I was still enjoying the rhythm of his beating hand and the soothing sensation of his finger trailing the line on my back when I felt something vibrating against his body— his phone.He pulled out a phone and let out a little "what in the g

    Asher’s POVI took Maya’s trembling hands in mine and squeezed them. Not too hard, I was only trying to give her a sense of security. Her hands were shaking and her nervousness was so obvious that one could probably smell it if they passed us by at the time.She looked into my eyes and I nodded, holding her face. “Be strong for me. And for you, my love.” I whispered and she nodded, wiping away a lone tear that had managed to escape her left eye. “I am so scared, Ash.” She said with a sniff and wrapped her arms around me, enveloping me in a hug. I noticed that she had begun to calm down as her formerly erratic breathing had begun to slow down into fairly normal breaths. I started to pat her hair and whispered soothing— or what I had hoped was soothing words into her ear.I even began to whisper sing one of the songs she had been listening to without pause all week, whenever she had the chance to. A small giggle erupted from her and she raised to swat me on the arm.“You are singing i

    Maya's povNo matter how hard I tried, I couldn't control the anger that kept on rising in my heart as I baffled at the evil that alpha Rick contained in his whole soul… that man was wicked, heartless and other words I could think of to describe a person that had no remorse in his heart. How could someone be so filled with evil and still crave to do bad things to people? What was he going to gain? A new pack? Even if he did get it in the end, loneliness was bound to come along with it because everyone around only feared him and felt nothing else for him, so he was definitely going to wallow in loneliness even if he took over all the packs in the whole werewolf world.I kept on stringing my fingers, squeezing them tight, hoping to dissipate the anger that was swelling inside of me but it wasn't helping, nothing was changing. I had never felt this angry before and there seemed to be no option to calm down. I hated feeling this way but there was nothing I could do to get rid of these neg

    Rick's povThump! Thump! Thump!I heard the echoes of my footsteps hit my ears harshly. What nonsense! I couldn't believe this kind of an Alpha had managed to slip through my fingers yet again. I was close! I was so fucking close to catching him... He already told me he and Maya were on their way coming to my pack and I'd already planned everything out. From the warriors that would attack them at the pack's entrance to those warriors that would assist the first batch in case Alpha Asher would overpower the first set. "I don't think they are coming" Jack, the head of the warriors in the pack said to me."Then fucking make them come" I snarled."How do I do that Alpha? You said you had everything under control! How do I suddenly make them come?" I looked at him and I decided in my mind that Jack has grown a second head. What else could explain this sudden audacity which he uses to talk to me? No one dares talk to Alpha Rick in such order. I turned to look at him with blood and fire in

    Jason’s POV I paced about my room for the— only the goddess knows how many times I have paced about in such a manner, either out of nervousness or out of anger.My father had called for another meeting, and I was very sure that it was the same titled were wolves who were there before that would be there now. And the worst thing was that, father was not too happy.That was a big understatement. He was very angry. He did not have to tell anyone that he was angry. Nobody had to see to know that the waves— the large amount of negative energy coming from his person was more than it usually was. It rolled off him and moved around him and into him that I felt attacked by his passive anger. I had a sensitive inner being, and in spite of the way father had raised me, I could accurately sense emotion from different living things, especially were wolves.Father did not send a servant to come to call me to attend his meeting this time. He had come to me by himself, and when my father goes to me

    Edna's povI woke up and turned off my alarm that kept on ringing with a groan. I was angry and I didn't know why, it was more like I was having mixed feelings but wasn't feeling anything at the same time and I also didn't know why. I sat up in my bed and looked at the window with sleepy eyes. The sun was out already and I knew I woke up late which meant I had missed my training but I didn't care. I wasn't this type of person to not care if I missed my training because I took my morning training too seriously. Something was definitely wrong with me this morning and I wanted to find out… if it was good or bad.I got down from my bed and dragged my feet to the bathroom. I rinsed my face then smeared toothpaste on my toothbrush and brushed my teeth then I took my bath once I was done.I was still finding it hard to decipher what I was feeling when I stepped out of the bathroom and took my hair dryer to dry my hair. I stood in front of my mirror and slowly brushed my hair as I dried it an

    Edna's povTwo days later….."No way in hell I'm wearing that hell of a fabric. Where are we going anyway?" I asked Maya and Shalom who are currently in my bedroom, scavenging my wardrobe all in the name of getting me ready for a friend's night out.I eyed the so-called top Shalom was holding up to me. The top V decolletage dipped so low it should almost reach my belly button after I must have put it on and the side also doesn't cover up my B cup breast entirely. The see-through red sequin material matched the red ripped high-waisted shorts they had lined for me to wear. Only the shorts looked more black than red—the fifth shade of red I guess. With it also was a black fuck-me stiletto and a matching clutch. "It's just a piece of clothing, Ed. And it is not like you'd be in it all night. It's just appropriate for the place we are going. I tell you it is going to be mad as fuck. And you'd love it too. Don't you trust us?" Shalom asked.I shook my head in mock horror. It was barely two

    Edna's povI stared at the hundredth flower that Daniel had given me out of all the flowers he had been giving me for the past two weeks ever since we found out we were mates.It was weird and shocking at first. To find out that your close friend is your mate and I felt like it would be a betrayal to Killian wherever he was now, moving on from him after just a year. I didn't know what to do, I didn't want to reject Daniel because it would anger the goddess and I didn't know if I would ever have feelings for him because we'd been friends for a long time until a few days ago.I was in the kitchen alone making a late night snack after helping Maya put the babies to sleep when he came in. He was shirtless and had half sleepy eyes. I had never looked at Daniel that way but I couldn't help but feel my heart beat faster and my mouth ran dry at the sight of him looking like that.I was also avoiding him ever since the blood moon festival after finding out he was my new mate. Guess the plan wo

    Maya's povI suddenly started feeling like I swallowed an elephant because damn, it was barely ten hours ago I finished my wedding and I didn't half of how heavy I suddenly felt. My weight doubled five times over.Dang!Asher had been busy with calls—answering to people that were still congratulating us and returning the calls to those he missed. I love being married to him. Even though one might think that has not changed after saying ' I do' and since I've practically lived as his wife for over a year now. But trust me, saying those two syllables 'I & do' would very much measure up to the best words I've said in all of my life. It feels so good to call him my husband and hear him call me his wife without having to cringe. Most of all, I am super happy because I finally got to carry his last name and just as you all already know, I'm growing his baby inside of me."Goddammit" I muttered to myself for the umpteenth time this evening after our wedding. "Uhhh" I groaned in frustration a

    Edna's POVMaya and Asher's wedding had ended early today and no party or reception was held because Maya needed to rest. I was surprised at how she still managed to pull everything off, despite the fact that she was far gone in her pregnancy. The penetrating and hideous howls echoed through the woods for the rest of the evening. I stayed indoors as the blood moon appeared in the pitch-black sky. The woods were close to the windows in my apartment. I kept pretending not to notice the wolves nearby and the night overall. It has been a long and stressful day. I couldn't add more stress by paying any attention to the reason for the day. Plus, it wasn't like I'd be getting another one soon. It's been a little over one year since Killian died and I was so sure the goddess hadn't made plans for me yet. I was so sure that the goddess was not yet ready for me but my wolf was trying to prove otherwise—she was craving the touch of our mate.I stood by my window and just stared into space, my

    Maya's povWhy on earth am I so nervous? I've been ready to marry this man since the day he rescued me from Alpha Rick's claws, but standing here right now, in my wedding dress in my bedroom, I felt like I couldn't breathe. The blood moon festival did not happen all through last year because according to the priest, the goddess was angry. But I was so sure about what I had with Asher and that was why I didn't give a second thought when he asked her to be his wife.Although I had suggested a much later date for the wedding, until I put to birth for the very least, the priest had insisted on this particular date for the wedding. "You've got this Maya," Edna said for the umpteenth time today, rubbing her hand on my arms as she continued" you are so beautiful. I can't even take my eyes off you""Edna, is it okay to feel like this.., what if..""Of course, …The tension, apprehension, and anxiousness always turn out to be a waste of time. So get yourself together and go nail it. It's

    Alpha Rick's povI couldn't believe my eyes. Was it actually Maya I was seeing? Or was it just the effect of the few glasses of red wine I just had that was making me hallucinate? I looked around and no one was there so I looked forward again and Maya was there vividly clear this time and I was shocked down to my bones.Maya was a white wolf! It was impossible! I killed them all twenty years ago, it couldn't be… how did she survive and keep her identity as a white wolf a secret all these years? How did she live in silence all these years knowing the powers she possessed and the things she could do?I stared at her speechless as I was still in my state of shock. I was still finding it hard to find my words and question her to quench the fire of curiosity that was blazing in my head as she slowly came towards me with a smile playing on her face. I didn't really notice the smile though, it was the rage in her eyes that managed to plant fear in me, but I soon killed the fear and faced her

    Maya's povEdna kept on squeezing the note that was sent by Melissa along with Killian's body as she stared blankly at nothing in particular while we decided to give Killian a burial to honor him for her sake. One moment, she was sniffing the paper with hatred and sorrow in her eyes, then the next, she was zoning out and staring at an empty space. When Daniel found the body and brought it home, he showed us the note without an idea of who sent the body, Edna snatched it and perceived it to catch the scent of who sent it… it was Melissa, she knew immediately because she could recognize her scent after our encounter with her when we were kidnapped. She had been a mess ever since she watched Melissa kill Killian in her front. She wasn't the cheerful Edna I knew anymore, she didn't eat or talk to anyone, she just slept and cried all the time. I and Shalom tried to give her our support and our love, hoping to make her feel better but it wasn't working.Then when Daniel found Killian's bod

    Asher’s POVTommy and I were having a conversation about different random things. At first, I had thought that Tommy had called me to talk about what had happened as usual, and what had to be done. I mean, we knew what had to be done, but that seemed like the only thing that we ever talked about that had made any sense ever since.Speaking of senses, mine were over and all over the place and at the moment, all I wanted was just one thing. I mean, yeah, I wanted justice. I wanted to make things right, although it would not be that much of a right since we had lost members, good were wolves to Alpha Rick’s hands and all of that definitely had to be avenged sooner rather than later,but now, I wanted my mate. I wanted her by my side as I discussed with whomever that was interested in doing so, and as I pondered over the decisions that weighed heavily on my shoulders. I wanted MayaI wanted her touch, her smell, her presence. I felt like I was about to go mad, and now I was beginning to

    Melissa's Pov.No no no no no no"This can't be happening. I didn't right…I didn't right?" I mumbled to myself, as I played back the event of seven minutes ago in my head. "I did not just kill Killian. It wasn't me…I didn't do it, right?"My head arched badly and it felt like with every syllable of the word I lamented, my heart was ripped out of its cage over and over again. It was never my intention to kill Killian. Fuck, I never wanted him dead. I was caught up with rage as I heard him say all those things to Edna. I didn't know what to do. I was feeling frustrated with every spark that traveled through the screen as they watched themselves even from miles apart. It was palpable…so palpable it made the atmosphere of the cell rise and burn my self-control.I looked haggard. My hair was everywhere and my mascara was running along with my nose but I didn't care. I couldn't….How could I have cared when I just killed the one man I've ever loved. I attacked my hair with my fingers and s

    Maya's povI felt cold all over as I stood frozen, I couldn't get myself to react or utter a word after hearing Alpha Rick's demand. Complete fear took over me and I didn't know if I wanted to go back to that pack. I was still struggling to heal from the experiences I had when I stayed there and now alpha Rick wanted me back there, to go through all his torture! I didn't know if I wanted that for myself and at the same time, I was thinking about Killian.I remembered all I'd been through in alpha Rick's hands when he tortured me and I knew Killian would go through worse, I didn't want that for him. He was one of us and I knew if I were in his shoes, he'd try to save me too. I slowly sat down, still clueless on what to say to everyone as they sat with shock and anger and worry all over their faces."Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!" Asher yelled as he punched the wall. His veins stood out on his neck and I was scared of what he could probably do in that state of anger. Edna was still crying an
