Chapter 45: A surprise right at the door.

Maya's POV

I knew it was Kylian behind me but I couldn't turn to look at him, I couldn't let him see the hurt in my eyes. I didn't want to feed his ego with my misguided thought that he cared for me. Pretty sure I looked stupid to him.

As my eyes were soon to be flushed with tears, I took a deep breath and stared at Jennifer a second time; she had a smirk on her face, she knew I was sad with the news but she just couldn't hold her satisfaction of seeing me broken. She smiled all the way through, whispering her response to me again as Mrs Castle stood silently beside her.

“She's not my girlfriend,” a resounding voice echoed behind me. It had grit and authority behind it. “She's my ex. We broke up some years ago,” Kylian continued.

His hand was still on my back, he gently moved it to my shoulder and grabbed it softly. “I don't have anything to do with her,” he affirmed.

My attention was still fixed on Jennifer but I heard him clearly, Every b

    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 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 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

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

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 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

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.

    Chapter 58: The time for a big shot Maya's POV She mustn't have been standing at the door all this while. She would grow old of exhaustion. Maybe she had timed that Jennifer would get thirsty, besides it felt like she was desperate to please Jennifer.Their strange relationship bothered me because it was odd and so random. Jennifer never got close to any maid in Kylian's house, let alone having a fun time with them. Why was Marianne different? She'd always serve them in smiles, expecting something back as if Jennifer was a giver. In my bid to avoid going close to Jennifer, I watched her and her son gulp down the juice while I longed to have some. Marianne took several glances at me and would itch her hair each time our eyes met. “Is that okay for you Hans,” Jennifer smiled, prompting a quick nod from him. Marianne exchanged a knowing smirk with Jennifer and exhaled loudly “I guess I better be taking them in,” she stated.“Nonsense,” Jennifer quipped, raising her hand to hold Mar

I was left alone to fight for myself in an unfair battle. This reminded me of a situation much similar to this, only that the previous was nice and unaware of the hell she put me through.Ha, Madeline! Was this happening all again? I could leave my home but it would never leave me. If only I felt safe with Jennifer the way I did with my sister. But of course not, Jennifer wasn't my relation. She'd love to see me suffer for the fun of it. I hissed and walked down to my room as Marianne glanced at the door, our eyes almost met but I broke it split second from impact.Kylian had just left the room but I could smell him all over the room. He was just what I needed to calm myself; absent or present, he was my escape.I couldn't keep on shifting into my wolf each time I needed time away from the palace. My wolf was part o

    Chapter 56: The answer could be bleakMaya's POV What could Rex mean when he said ‘out of the ordinary’, I wondered. From the little time I spent with him, I already knew he wasn't one to bluff or tell a lie. I read his expression; it was obvious that he hated Jennifer, all evident on his deep frown. “She changed him?” I asserted, widening my eyes.“No, but she almost did,” Rex replied.I took a deep breath and placed my hands on my waist. Jennifer's face filled my thoughts, she was starting to live rent free in my head. “Respectfully, I'd advise you to be careful. I went through hell the last time she was around,” He snapped both of his fingers and exhaled loudly “But You are different, way better than I thought you'd be,” His words sounded genuine, it felt like he had waited a long time to tell me that. He gave a faint smile and prepared to walk out, dusting his shirt and humming a tune.As he walked past me, I picked up his scent. I was still having a hard time controlling my

    Chapter 55: The past mirrors the future.Maya's POV Rex's expression quickly changed as though flustered by the question. He gaped at me in silence and thought of his response. I was already wondering if I had overstepped my boundaries but he raised his head and put his right hand into his pockets.“Of course, I do,” What a relief! I heaved a sigh and swirled my hair, bracing up to ask the next question.“No surprise there,” I replied “I'm pretty sure she was a nice person,” Rex twisted his mouth in curiosity and blinked at me. He caught on to what I needed from him and with a snicker he replied.“Yeah, she was nice.” He paused. That was the opposite of what I was expecting “Only if you were Kylian or Mrs Castle,” he said after a long wait.“What? She wasn't nice at all to you,” He shook his head and inserted his left hand into his pocket “No, she wasn't. Why would she need to?” He asked, his tone dripping with sarcasm.“I just thought she is a little off to me. I didn't know you

    Chapter 54: The line in between.Maya's POV I thought my presence in Kylian's room would be a bliss and it would leave me dreaming more of him. No, it wasn't. 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
