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

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

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.

    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.

    Chapter 2Maya's pov “Maya! Maya!! Goodness, that lazy child better not be asleep!” The handmaid's voice ripped through the peace and silence of the morning like a sharp knife…waking me from a steamy dream. Her impending footsteps finally reached my door as I scrambled to get up and open it. “ There you are! so you are still sleeping at this time?!” she barked at me planting her hands on her hips and shooting an interrogative look my way the moment the door was flung open. I rolled my sleepy eyes momentarily to the wall clock and then back. It was only 5: 00am, most of the maids were asleep now and yet I was being abruptly jerked out of my slumber. “Sorry, I just overslept…” I apologized and she shook her head mimicking my voice. “Sorry! I just overslept…it's not like this is even a permanent arrangement, I've had to take on a lot of cumbersome responsibilities because we can't afford more maids right now, all you have to do is drag your own weight and you're whining,”

All these made every tiresome day easier to get through, and at night, He'd sneak into my room for passionate nights. But eventually I got greedy. “What were you and Madeline laughing about this evening?” I said. He grunted, fishing his arm from under my head and sitting up on the bed. “Where’s this coming from?” I sat up as well. “It looked like a pretty good joke with the way both of you were cackling,” He raised an eyebrow. “You’re acting off, what does it matter what we were talking about?” I gritted my teeth, “Fine! What do I care?” I threw off my paper thin blanket, shifting to the edge of the bed with my back facing him and my legs on the cold wooden floor. “Ugh, what was I even expecting? Everybody chooses her…they always do. Why did I think you would be different?” He came over crouching in front of me.

I tightened my fists on my lap. “He's my mate, Madeline, I did nothing wrong.” I said looking at her, she pressed her palms against her face and sighed with her full chest. “He's also mine too, I was really hoping that it wouldn't turn out this way. I've heard of this happening to twins but I was also told that it was a rarity to imagine that it would also happen to us too…” she paused again. “Maya, you should have said something…all this time I had no idea, but you knew everything an-”“He chose me,” I said, standing up to my full height and looking down at her. She looked at me, her eyes soaked with tears and pity.“Did he tell you

    Chapter 5Maya's pov My heart sank deep inside my chest, my breath was heavy and the ground beneath my feet began to spin. Was this really happening? “I must be dreaming…” I whispered below my breath then looked up gulping down saliva, but the picture in front of me didn't change. My sister joined Barry with a broad smile on her face and then they kissed. Everybody cheered, the clapping soared above the sound of my sobs as I left running with tears rolling down my cheeks. As soon as I got inside my room, I threw myself on my bed, sobbing into my pillow. How could he? Didn't he say he was going to pick me? Did I do something wrong? I spun back my memories, what did I do wrong? Was I too pushy? I wondered as I finally lifted my head from the pillow. But he was always beating around the bush…I needed to tell him what I wanted because it appeared that he was fine with how secretive everything was. I wasn't though. Wasn't that the case with Madeline too? She asked him to

    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

    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.
