Maya

As soon as I hanged up after speaking to a client on phone, I heard a soft knock on the door.

“Come in,” I said. I knew it was Kim because I had heard her footsteps a while ago. She thought I had not noticed that she was always eavesdropping. I wondered what incriminating things she hoped to hear from my mouth. I had decided to pretend not to notice it until she got fed up.

She opened the door and entered my office. She was wearing a red blouse tucked into a black pencil skirt. Her ponytail was a little bit too tight but it didn't seem to be causing any strain on her face.

“Miller's assistant says you're needed in the HR office,” her sharp eyes studied my face.

My heart saw this as an opportunity to increase its beat. I pressed my fingers together and took a deep breath. I hope he hadn't found out that I worked at St. Felicity's during office days. I hadn't been at the center since the day I had to tutor a child before she went for a competition. The person with the photograph

    Zane’s POVAnother body. For the past week, I had been getting reports of bodies of members of my pack. I had no choice but to leave the company, return to Misenium and take charge of my duties as an alpha. I had been there for two days and hadn’t yet figured out the perpetrator but I knew it wouldn’t take long before I found out and made them pay for the terrible things they’d done. This one was of a young woman. She lay on the grass, her hair matted on the dry blood covering the grass. Her head seemed to have been hit by a blunt object as the back of it was a mess. It was a pitiful sight, seeing a young soul gone, leaving behind all the dreams and possibilities they had.“I don’t get it,” I said. “I don’t smell vampire around any of the crime scenes. Whoever is killing this people is a wolf.”At first, I had thought it was Aaron, the vampire trying to get revenge on me for locking him up but the second body I had seen made it clear that it was a wolf. The scent seemed masked by vam

  • The Alpha's Dynasty   Father

    Zane’s POVFive years back, my father mysteriously left the pack and has never been seen since. No one knew why he left, or where he was. For the last two years of his rule, my father had become increasingly horrible. He drunk a lot, spent pack funds extravagantly on meaningless things, and refused to be accountable for anything. He stopped caring about his children and nearly drove our mother crazy. It was when he started hitting her that I cut off ties with him. The pack was going down really fast and people were becoming fed up of him. Because of that, there were several attempts at ending his life. Everyone close to him tried to convince him to mend his ways for everybody’s sake. One day, his bodyguard was found dead in the alpha’s residence and my father was gone.The vision I had seen of him when I touched the roses showed he was in a cave I knew very well. I had spent a big part of my childhood playing in it with my friends. I felt angry that he had chosen to hide there when h

  • The Alpha's Dynasty   Success

    KimMiller's office was very spacious and contained plush seats. It was hard to imagine that it was scorching hot outside with the advanced air conditioning in there. You're probably thinking I wanted that office too but unfortunately or fortunately for you, I was not that greedy, yet. Having Maya Bennett out of the company was so satisfying it felt like I would never need anything else in order to be happy.“I'm so glad you finally did it,” I told Miller who was glaring at me like I had just killed someone he loved. The look on his face told me he was one step away from hitting me to death. We both knew I can never be as competent as Maya Bennett and while I didn't care, I was sure he did. This was going to affect the company and not in a very positive way. Maya had been more committed to her job than I would ever be.“You know I didn't want to fire her,” he said, opening a black file which was on top of the table. “And I may not have been able to even suspend her if you hadn’t manag

    MayaIt had been four days since I got suspended from Milner Inc. Five days since I saw the man of my dreams. I can't say it was easy because that would be one huge fat lie. Ever since the day we made love, Zane and I hadn't talked, neither physically nor via phone. Sometimes, he would send a text message asking if I was okay and I would reply on the affirmative even though that was far from the truth. He would go ahead to say he was glad I was okay and didn’t send another message for days. He probably didn’t want the conversation to get far enough that we had to talk about what we did on that day. I had gotten used to hearing his beautiful voice and I missed it so much. I missed how he made me laugh. Being around him had turned into one of the highlights of my days, especially after I had got over him turning me into his assistant.Harry had tried to be there for me as much as he could and I was really thankful. I wondered if he would still be that helpful if I told him that I had

    Zane.Standing on top of the cliff, I gazed out at the vast forest below. I sighed, feeling the ache in my heart that I could never seem to get rid of. It was always there, reminding me of the missing piece in my life. I thought of Maya, my mate. I missed her more than anything in the world but I knew I couldn’t go to her until I had finished sorting out the issues with my father. I couldn’t underestimate the man because he was capable of destroying me. One wrong move, and I would be done for. Closing my eyes, I let my mind wander. It drifted back to the night I met her. I remembered how captivated I was by the beautiful young woman. I had been so angry to see her with that bloodsucking vampire and she had been so scared when I attacked him. I had not been happy with how everything had gone. I remembered seeing her again when she was talking to the receptionist about me while trying to take sneaky glances at me. I chuckled. If she knew that I heard everything she was saying that day

    Maya.When I told Harry about my outing at the resort and how much I enjoyed it, he insisted that I go with him. Going with the kids was great, going with an adult was even better. I refused to think that it would've been better if I was with Zane. Though to be honest, that was a hundred percent true. Since Harry had refused to back off after I turned him away, I decided to let him distract me. Besides, he was being so nice to me that I was beginning to think I would be better off dating him instead of pining for a man who had disappeared and seemed to have forgotten me.We were lying on hammocks under the shade of beautiful trees overlooking the river. The river was quite muddy that day. I thought it was because of the fishing going on at the upper side of the river. I had seen some fishermen with nets when we were entering the resort. Harry and I were talking about objectification and women empowerment. We rarely talked about such things but there was a trending case about the issue

    Zane.Somehow, I found the strength to turn away from the heart wrenching scene before me. I knew that my reaction seemed immature but I couldn't think of anything better to do. I couldn’t even decide how to react. In my current condition, I could neither face Maya nor have a fruitful conversation with her. My jealousy would probably turn into anger and make me say things I'd regret. There was already a strain between us because of what we did and I didn't want to make it worse. I wished to make things right but didn't know how to. Was there a point to that anymore, after everything I had seen?I heard hurried footsteps and my name being called by Maya. She was about to catch up with me but I couldn't run. Sure I may have been in love but I was still the CEO of several big companies and the alpha of Blood Moon pack. I was not about to let myself get caught on camera running away from the woman I loved. The tabloids would love that and never let it go. I didn’t want to be the focus of

And no, I didn’t like it.On the previous Friday as I descended the stairs at the company, I skipped a step because I was in a hurry and sprained my ankle. Since Maya and Micheal, my closest friends at work weren't around, I couldn't call anyone else for help. Not that I disliked everyone else but I didn't want to be a bother. Damn that stupid elevator for malfunctioning on the day I had the highest amount of work to do.

She even offered to help me at home and she had been preparing my meals in the evening every day since that time.I had tried to call Maya but ever since Zane found us together at the resort, she had been avoiding me like the plague.

    Maya.After all the drama, Zane wanted to fire Harlow. But after some serious thinking between the two of us, Zane decided to sell back the company to the previous owners. Mr. Milner had realised it had been a bad decision to sell of his family legacy. Thankfully, Zane didn’t want it anymore. “I bought it because I wanted to be close to you,” he said. “I got what I wanted. I don’t need the company anymore. I will continue to expand the dynasty I have already built. I’ll probably have branches of my companies here in future. For now, I’m quite contented with all the companies I own. Besides, more companies means more work and I just want to enjoy my life with you now.”“Are you bragging, Mr. Carrington?” I asked, smiling.“Maybe,” he said, leaning closer to me. “Do you like that?”I shook my head, trying not to smile. “I hate arrogant men.”“And yet here you are with me.

    Kim *One week later*“We've all raised some good ideas and-”Harry stopped speaking when I stormed in after opening the door of the boardroom with maximum aggression. He was seated around the table with Sara, Maya, Harlow and one of the accountants. I charged upon Harlow and punched his old head. The idiot somehow managed to erase everything I had on him and I'd never been angrier. I was just about to send the video to Harlow’s wife after struggling so much to get her phone number. The plan was to send it and blackmail her. There was a possibility she was okay with him sleeping around with younger women but she wouldn’t want to have a video of her husband in that compromising position spreading all over the internet.“Stop it!” Maya yelled as I rained punches on her boss' head. Someone grabbed me by the waist as Sara called out for security guards from the doorway. “Let me go,” I shrieked, trying to get off the strong grip of the person whom I recognized as Harry. Maya was now atte

    Emma.When we got to the pack house, Zane gave me my phone back and I was able to talk to my family. I told them I was fine and on vacation. I stayed at the pack house for a full week, getting to know everyone and enjoying Zane’s company. His family was great and it was heart-breaking to see them looking so sad as they buried their father. Zane told me everything that had happened and I told him he should have told me earlier. I would have been more understanding. He didn’t agree. I began to prefer pack life over my lone metropolitan independent lifestyle. The whole pack was like one huge family and everyone loved and supported each other. It was so nice to see and experience. I felt like I had been given another family. I enjoyed the stay there to the point that I didn’t want to leave. But Zane insisted it was important for us to go and see how things were running at the company. Although he was getting updated every day, he wanted to go there and ensure that what was being forwarde

    Maya.Lying down, I watched as Zane locked the door and returned to the bed. He took off his shoes and came to lie next to me. Immediately, our lips locked once again. I felt as if my body was on fire, in the best way possible. His hands found their way to my back and started moving, caressing and touching everywhere all at once. He brought his hands down from my back to reach the pink pyjama bottoms I had been given. His surprisingly soft hands touched the soft flesh of my ass and my body tingled. He pressed the cheeks making me release moans I had been trying to hold back. Knowing that werewolves had supernatural hearing, I didn’t want to risk waking up the whole building. Zane flipped me till I was lying on my back. As he leaned over me, I did the honours of taking off his shirt. He had to pause from kissing my neck to let me pull the shirt over his head. The shirt had barely reached the floor when he tried to get rid of my top. I let him and when it was done, he stared at my bre

  • The Alpha's Dynasty   Close the door

    Maya.I was angry at myself for not screaming when I found Zane in my house. I hated myself for being foolish enough to believe that he wasn’t going to hurt me. Clearly, he was a psychopath who preyed on women who were attracted to him. The room I woke up in was quite good, luxurious in fact. However, it was devoid of personality as if it was a guest room. I could hear voices outside but I couldn’t see anything since the windows were boarded with wood. Thankfully, the light was on and the room was well ventilated. It also had a fan and a restroom. At least he was kind of enough to think of my needs.Eventually, the door opened. To my surprise, the person who walked in was not Zane. It was a young woman. I wondered if she was also a captive of his. I had read a novel about a man who kidnapped woman and kept them in his house, calling them family. Was this a case of that?“Who are you?” I asked the woman.“I’m Celeste,” she said, setting a jug filled with juice on the table. She placed

    Zane.“I’m not sure if I want to kill her,” I told Uriel, a vampire friend of mine. I had been confiding in him to find out what the vampires knew about the woman in my custody. Having kidnapped Maya and placed her in my pack house, I had only three or four hours before the fierce tribrid woke and broke down the cage. From what I had heard while doing research on her, she had broken out of so many places and destroyed those who imprisoned her.“I would kill her,” I said. “But I know nothing about the woman. I don’t know her enemies and friends. I’m not scared of the enemies but the friends. She may have friends in high places and they will want revenge. I’m not sure I want to risk the lives of my pack.”“Well, leaving her alive would also be risking the lives of your pack unless you’re ready to abide by her rules.”“I can’t reject my mate. I would live a very sad life if I did. I don’t think Chelsea can give me the happiness Maya can.”“Well, you’re stuck, bro. I wish I could be of he

  • The Alpha's Dynasty   Move on

    Maya.People always say just move on. As if it’s that easy. When you have a strong connection with someone, it’s not very easy to let go and move on. For a while after they disappear, you keep hoping that they will come back. That they will realise how amazing you were and realise you’re the only one for them. If they don’t come back, it really affects you especially when you don’t get closure. After waiting for Zane to turn up after days, I decided to go and confront him at his residence since Harry told me had not been showing up at work. I just wanted to hear it from his mouth that it had all been a game and he no longer wanted me. I had tried to forget him but it seemed I first needed to hear that in order to move on.The apartment was in an upscale area of town in a magnificent building, the type of building that I could only dream of living in. the security officer told me that Zane was not around which was a disappointment.“Did he go to Misenium city?” I asked.“I don’t know,”

  • The Alpha's Dynasty   Hard way

    Zane.The warriors that had surrounded the cottage started running after me and the two warriors I was with. They started chasing after us without shooting. It was apparent they wanted to capture me without injuring me. One of the warriors was captured and his neck was snapped before he was left on the ground. I was very good at running but my chest was starting to ache and my head was throbbing due to my father throwing me down. When the next warrior was caught, I knew it was only a matter of time. As strong as I was, I was alone and it was going to be almost impossible to outrun 30 strong men. For some reason, my powers were no longer working which was very annoying.Suddenly, the men stopped coming after me and stood there, looking very confused. I figured it was a trick so I continued running but when I looked back, I saw that they seemed genuinely confused.“Alpha!” One of them yelled. He was a short guy that was always guarding the pack house. I stood, wondering if they were up

    Zane.After nearly getting killed on the streets of Misenium by one of my dad’s men, I decided enough was enough. I convinced Chelsea that I would reject my mate if she was able to help me regain my pack. I didn’t trust her, and she didn’t trust me but eventually, she accepted to help me out. At least she had the strength to make me fulfil my promise by force. Reminding her of that made her agree to do it. I paced around the hotel room as I waited for my father to pick up his phone.“Finally,” his voice came through the phone, menacing as always. “My son, it’s time for you to give me my rights back. I’m the alpha of this pack and I need you to hand over everything. I can take it by force but you’re my son. I still love you despite everything.”I rolled my eyes. What a liar. If he had any love for me, he would not have kicked me out of my own pack like a thief.“I can’t do that,” I told him. “I’m ready to fight you for what is mine.”My father laughed. “You have no idea what I’m deali
