Falling in love was never the deal, no, a simple vanilla relationship which only held worth in paper-that was the deal but when passions tug against chained desires mixed in a pot of intrigues and lies a heart cannot afford to be apathetic anymore but will the new found affections become a strength or a deadly flaw? Ridiculed and bullied from birth for being worthless despite her alpha blood, Maya stone resolves to blend into the background and hide in the shadow of her beloved twin sister but her plan comes crashing down like a pack of cards when she and her sister were mated to the same man, believing he will definitely choose her sister over her she runs into the arms of the first handsome stranger she sees numbing her pain with pleasure for the night. However, her first mate's jealousy makes him hesitate rejecting her; he strung her along and impregnated her before publicly rejecting her.Burdened with shame she runs away and accidentally crosses the border of a ruthless alpha territory, he turns out to be her one night stand he naturally assumes the baby in her womb is his and Maya's fear of abandonment forces her to keep silent about the true paternity of the child.

Each night, I had to fight the urge to not look desperate. We were always left looking awkward each time we laid. My legs would mistakenly hit his and we would usher ourselves into an uninterrupted hour of pointless apology. Sometimes, I would watch him sleep while I let my imagination take me far into wonderland. This would have continued if Jennifer wasn't such a spiteful being. My new placement made her seethe in anger. She never looked me in the eyes after our room incidence but that never meant she quitted. She made a big deal out of treatment I received for being pregnant“Who gives a shit if she's pregnant,” Jennifer complained “I was also pregnant and I wasn't laying around like an old hag,” She didn't care if I was seated there or Kylian was breezing past. She yell at the top of her voice and most times, threatened
Chapter 53: The Alpha's command.Maya's POV We all gaped at him to give his command, my heart panting for him to rule in my favour just this once.Jennifer patted Hans back and sang a lullaby. I thought her voice was parched and out of tune. She knew what she was doing and unfortunately I had nothing to play victim with.“He can't go on crying like this. Please Kylian,” Jennifer said after a long wait of singing her lullaby. It felt like using Hans wasn't working at all and she needed validation.“Alright, let's change the room,” Kylian voiced.A bomb dropped in me, detonating the instant as Kylian tucked his hands into his robe. “What the hell,” I forced out my expression. This was the first time I lashed out to a public and I quickly regretted ever speaking up. “I knew it,” Jennifer yelled back, “You'd rather see my son suffer than…”“No, I didn't mean it that way,” I interrupted knowing where she was going. If she wanted to paint me pitch black, I wasn't supposed to relax and wa
Chapter 52: A taste of biased influence.Maya's POV How could she give a compliment after threatening and reading me to filth? I felt a twitch to brace up for what was coming next. I expected it to come soon enough, that was how predictable I thought Jennifer was going to be.One chill and cozy night, I had just returned from the woods. Nobody told me setting my wolf at night to roam free, hunt and howl at the moon was relaxing and fun. My feets were wet with mud as I shifted back and stealthily walked into my room. I had a shower and ate the food Marianne left for me on my side table. She was usually aware that I left the palace but never said a word to anyone. After I had eaten to my fill, I laid on my back and waited to drown myself to sleep.“I can't with this anymore,” I heard a scream from the deeper path of the palace. With all the lights Kylian had in his home, I always refused to walk down there in fear that I would bump into Jennifer.I thought of standing up to eavesdrop
Chapter 51: Look dread in the eyes.Maya's POV Was I born only to be a second to one? Why couldn't things go my way like the others? All the months I spent, thinking my pregnancy was special. I had the son of an Alpha, maybe not Kylian's, but an Alpha's pups were literally growing in me.Why couldn't it just remain the way it was? Was it necessary for me to go through pain? I cried myself to sleep the day Jennifer walked into my life with an electrifying energy. She had not spoken to me once but I could sense she was here to push me out. Now I had to fight for attention with a professional; someone who could do it so effortlessly. “No, please. This can't be it,” I said holding myself. The image of Kylian holding her kid in his arms horrified me. I never expected a kid could become a threat to me? He had so much love in his eyes. There was a fire and determination in his eyes that I had never seen him with. His cold attitude couldn't help but melt before my very eyes. What were the
Chapter 50: Compromise or cast out!Kylian's POV “You have betrayed me. I always thought you'd have my back,” Jennifer sniffled, tearing up in regret. She had not yet looked at me straight in the eyes, yet she was encapsulated with guilt. I could read it all over the room. Not only was guilt parading it, Betrayal struck my heart. She broke all the trust I had for her as her supposed close friend broke hers with pleasure. I turned to the lady again, she had a satisfied smirk on her face as Jennifer cried. She was filled with contention as though her plans to ruin Jennifer's life took her a century to cook up. While Jennifer was about to plead her case, and Cecilia holding herself from leaping for joy, I was hopeless.Hopelessly immersed in my pain. I came here to beat the shit out of the schmuck who dared to touch my mate only to discover that she wanted to be touch. She wanted to give it to them lustfully. A piercing pain grappled my chest as she called my name.“Baby,” she paused
Chapter 49: Not for the Weak spirited Kylian's POV “A hotel,” She whispered. “A hotel,” I repeated, wondering what they were doing in a hotel. Jennifer never mentioned going to a party in a hotel. I wondered what led her there and thought to myself that they might have changed a venue or something. It still didn't sit well with me. I went into a spiral of thoughts, I couldn't bear to think that something bad happened to my mate. If only I had raised an issue with it, if I had forced myself to follow her just once in my life, then she wouldn't be in her distressed condition. With a zoom, I got to the posh hotel. This was a hotel for rich, luxurious people. A hotel known to everyone to house people who had wealth and affluence, Jennifer's niche. It wasn't no surprise that this hotel drew her attention. The lights around the hotel shone from miles away, standing out from various other building around it. The lights moved to all directions and the services there was almost divine. I
Chapter 48: The flashes in your mind Kylian's POV “Don't reject him without holding him. He's yours,” Jennifer yelled, her voice shaky as if she was about to tear up. The toddler held my arms as though gripping me with an aim to survive. He wanted me to hold him, embrace him and point at his milky teeth that he shone widely. I wanted to return him back as fast as I could but he refused to let go. He smiled sheepishly and looked to Jennifer, wondering if he it was alright to hold me.“Hans, it's alright. He's your father,” she said, causing me to flinch. I glared at her and she returned a contorted look my way. His dark locks of hair were on my skin, I could feel they were about the same texture as mine. The eyes screamed mine and his face was an incarnation of mine. I could say none of Jennifer's genes were visible on him, just mine. Denying him would be a lack of responsibility on my path. I turned my face to Maya, she was frozen staring at the little kid on my hands. She could
Chapter 47: We don't get to have a say.Kylian's POV Her voice sounded different, like she had spent centuries trying to perfect it. It shifted from the bossy and pitchy tune she always had to a strange sound that made me look at her in disgust. What was she trying to do showing up here.My mother beside me had already started glowing up in excitement. She always loved Jennifer, her reasons unknown but I sensed a few of it was because of how influential Jennifer's parents, the Gabriel's, were. “Jennifer, get the hell out of my face before I force you to,” I warned, stepping forward in anger. “Oh my goodness. Is this how you plan to do it?” She inquired. Her response was different, she usually quaked in terror whenever I got furious but seeing her now, something's changed. Whatever it was, I wasn't curious to find out. I was about to send my guards to throw her out when Maya came in out of nowhere. I exchanged glances between her and Jennifer. Why now? Couldn't she have waited a fe
Chapter 46: Times are never the same.Kylian's POV I kept good at my promise to Maya. I wanted her to feel safe in my home, make it hers, and also live comfortably with her. I started by getting rid of all the rebel pack members in my territory. No one was going to attack Maya and feel safe. Time unfolded as days and one day, when I was out on a hunt, a messenger ran towards me, all the way from my palace. He had a message for me and it seemed urgent. I stopped my hunt to get his information, but the messenger dropped a bombshell. My parents were heading to my palace. This was sudden and unannounced. No calls, no news or text just a sudden message. I raced back to welcome them, thinking they came in for a short visit. From afar, I could hear the soft melody of music. An odd thing that was only peculiar of my father when he expected guests. “They’d have to settle down before they could throw a party,” I thought to myself. No one else dared to disturb the tranquil environment I enfo
Chapter 1 Maya's pov I tugged awkwardly at the seam of my dress, my sister pulled me again and I almost tripped on the high heels she forced on me, along with thick layers of makeup. She said I looked pretty; but I felt like a clown. “Maya, Hurry! we're going to be late for the ceremony!” She urged me while her eyes lit up. “Aren't you excited to meet your mate tonight?” She asked, and I responded with a tight smile.I only came because Barry would be here tonight.He had been our friend since we were in diapers, and I looked forward to hanging out with him tonight. But at the back of my mind I dreaded the idea of his mate showing up.while she brimmed with positivity as she dragged me along until we entered the grand hall, where the ceremony was being hosted. Several other young wolves like ourselves that had also reached adulthood littered the place, food and drinks were in abundance and the whole was adorned with scented candles and flowers to create a romantic air.
