Chapter 71: There's a rat in here.

KYLIAN'S POV

I laid sprawled across my plush fur lined bed, my chest rising and falling in rhythm. The night before this morning had been intense with passion. The bed was still warm with Maya's soft touch. I couldn't help but roll over to hold her by the waist.

I grabbed a pillow instead and threw it softly after I failed to grab her waist but a satisfied smile still etched on my face. The memories of last night played nonstop in my head.

I had totally forgotten how awesome it was when Maya and I got frisky together.

I had slept enough and it was time I woke up to see her face in reality. I wanted to plant a tender kiss on her neck, something I believed would have been enough to set us in a mood.

As my eyes blew open, the light from the morning sun, shone brightly to my direction. It revealed the empty space beside me, causing me to sweep the room with my eyes, my eyebrows slightly furrowed.

The room was empty. Maya was gone.

    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,”

    Chapter 3 Maya's pov Good things never last…but I thought this would. little lingering looks, trivial touches and cautiously catching each other's eyes. 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.

    Chapter 4Maya's pov I fiddled with my fingers, kicking my legs back and forward as I waited for her to speak, to break the uncomfortable silence that had been growing steadily since I stepped into her room and sat on the bed. “Maya, how could you do this to me?” She asked her voice painfully low, like a whisper escaping through the cracks. 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

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 6Maya's pov I heard a knock on the door and cautiously approaching it and squeezing the door handle. It was late into the night, even the headmaid wouldn't send me an errands by this time but I wouldn't put it past her anyways. “Who's there?” I asked, holding my breath. “Relax, it's just me,” The sound of Madeline's voice did everything but help me relax, even so to avoid suspicion I backed away from the door. “Come in if you want to,” “I didn't think I'd catch you awake by this time,” she said folding her hands together. “Why are you here, Madeline, to say ‘I told you so’... In that case, don't even bother I've already mentally butchered myself before you even walked into this room,” I tried it to keep my voice steady but it betrayed me stripping my feelings of inferiority from their mask. “There's no need to rub it in my face,” I said to have gesturing with my hands wide spread. “You win. You always freaking win in the end, and I'm always the loser. Are you

    Chapter 7Maya's POV.‘Could this be real, or was I just dreaming?’ I thought to myself as my eyes rested on the tall, handsome figure that stood right in front of me. The air that had been filled with tension, almost to the verge of suffocation at the sight of the guards that had threatened to do the worse earlier suddenly felt light at the sight of him.The familiar hazel eyes left me in a daze for a few seconds as my mind wandered into the possibility of this entire new development being a reality or just a mind trick, I could not believe that the stranger I had a one-night stand with days ago was the Alpha of the new pack I had found myself in. I had forcefully stopped myself from harboring any thoughts about the stranger after the mating ceremony, knowing fully well that he was nothing but a stranger to me; I knew we would never cross paths, so there was no need to do that. But it seems like I was wrong, perhaps the goddess fated our path to meet again. “It's you? The guy fro

    Chapter 8Maya's POV. “You are welcome to my home,” he whispered as we arrived at the enormous mansion that I had sighted from afar. I could only nod in astonishment as the size and beauty of this new environment consumed my mind, how in my mind, I was finally glad to take the ridiculous action of leaving home; at least it fetched me somewhere better. But then, I had to shorten my excitement; I don't really know what awaits me here, so it would be foolish for me to delve into celebration without being sure of what life holds for me in this new place. “Welcome, Alpha; how was the hunting?” A middle-aged woman approached us immediately. We walked into the mansion and greeted the Alpha, who I had met in the woods.“Not bad. Thank you, Marianne,” he responded with a light nod. “Take her to the visitor's quarters and tell the maids to attend to her every need. Also, get a room ready for her here in my quarters as soon as possible,” the Alpha instructed the middle-aged woman who was con

Any delays, and I make you pay for keeping me waiting,” I lurked behind my door, eavesdropping on Mrs Castle. The call she was making seemed pretty important. I'd say urgent because there was a threat attached. “Marianne has ratted me out? No it can't be that. She can't be making a call this subtly. Maybe Kylian is pissed and I have something to do with it,” So many thoughts ran through my head as I listened attentively.Piece by piece, Fear began to crawl its way through my skin, making me bite my fingers out of caution. “Things couldn't have gotten so heated with the setup we orchestrated” I hoped it was but only for Maya. “Jennifer,” Mrs Castle knocked softly on my door “Jennifer Gabriel,” she called again and I just froze, my head blank from fright. What was she doing here, I asked myself. We had already spoken and she promised to talk to her son. But with the tune of her voice, I suspe

I wanted to be with them forever. Being a contracted mate sucked, I wanted more. I positioned the little things I would take on my journey to strategic places, making sure he wouldn't suspect the first second he entered.

I knew it was going to be tough the moment I stepped my foot out of the palace but it was a risk I was willing to take. I wasn't going to reduce myself in their eyes. I inhaled deeply and said “No,” confidently.“I don't need your money,” I declared, standing boldly and looking them straight in the eyes. They laughed, looking at each other, thinking I was bluffing. “Come on, now is not the time to pretend, alright,” Mrs Castle pitched “Feel free to demand all you want, as long we never see you again,” “You had me going for a second,” Mr Castle laughed. “Like you'd see a million dollar and refuse it,” They continued laughing and when they got to their fill, they stopped

The jewelry box I had stuffed inside fell like a thud on the floor and opened. It was mine to begin with but as for long as I remained In Kylian's home. She had the right to call me a thief because I planned to run away.Explaining would be useless, my fate was sealed and I was in danger. This was going to turn out brutal for me or so I thought.“I can explain,” I managed to speak.“What's there to explain?” her face lit up as she tried to withhold a chuckle “You are saving us the stress of pushing you away,” she exclaimed, delighted as a morning sunshine.“You should have said this sooner,” she continued, picking up the jewelry box and handing them to me.Suddenly, the door quaked open, my back behind it.

It could have been for anything but he looked affirming. His eyes glowed with interest like he was desperate to give her an answer. “I will not,” I cried, holding my chest for self comfort. I would not look like a fool in people's eyes anymore. Madeline took the crown jewel from me; Barry. He wasn't mine from the start because he never confessed he love me I watched him go up to the podium and chose my twin sister over me. History wasn't going to repeat itself, I resolved in my mind.Instead of watching him pick Jennifer over me, I'd rather leave faraway from where they could never trace me. I would not be decieved for a second time. I gazed at my stomach, it was large and protruding. Daily, I could feel the early signs that I was about to give birth. It felt closer each day but it didn't

    Chapter 65: Be my pawn.Jennifer's POV The plan worked perfectly with a little miscalculation on my path. Maya was supposed to attack me when I hit her but shockingly she stood frozen, lost and confused. She was supposed to retaliate and scream back at me. A big fight was supposed to happen, making me look like an angry mother defending her son. Instead, Maya opted out for her usual calm demeanor. With Mr and Mrs Castle racing out to witness the commotion, I knew we not only had to lie that she hit my son but we had to convince them that we got in a fight. “I've done everything to make things right. I don't want problem anymore,” I cried “All she had to was mind her buisness,” “It's okay, honey. You did what every mother would do,” Mrs Castle consoled me.“Was the fight necessary?” I asked “I only wanted to stop her from going wild on my son. I didn't know she'd turn her anger against me,” My tears flowed endlessly as I tried forcing them out with every horrible event I could t

I maintained my calm and waited for her snap out of her short rebellious stage.“I haven't had a free time to speak to you since you came,” Marianne gave up, dropping to her knees in panic. I smirked in satisfaction, my lips pouting as she bowed her head in fear. “I thought you were about to lash out,” I fixed my attention at the silly teacups on the tray and tapped on my chair “You certainly have forgotten who I am,”“No ma'am, I'd never forget. I wanted to explain to you, nothing else,”“What do you wanna explain,” I uttered, my mood turning angrier by the second “You have failed me once and cost me my life and now I'm here, you act like we don't have a histo
