Chapter 74:A Raging Madness.Kylian's POV We were all out of our doubts. The speck of optimism that I had of Maya's presence had faded and the cool my parent's maintained, thinking I'd be sad and accept Jennifer, failed miserably.As Rex bowed his head to leave, my mother jumped forward to me, her face filled with worry.“Kylian you can't be serious. Don't tell me you plan to go into war because of a girl,”I glared fiercely at her and clenched my fists “A girl, huh? You still refer to her as a rando,”“Well, let me be clear. Those neighbouring packs have been daring for some time now and I will stop at nothing to get Maya back,” “Huh,” Jennifer muttered in disbelief.“This is madness,” my father interjected “You can't just march in to another territory and make demand without evidence. What are you? A tyrant,”“If that's going to get Maya for me, then I'd happily do it,” I fired back.“Son, let's take a breather. You are not thinking straight, okay,” my mother begged, clasping her
Chapter 75: It's Deeper Than You Think.Jennifer's POV Who said you couldn't get what you want by putting your mind to it? No one did, but I couldn't be happier for getting the edge over maya.“The main deal will always be preferred over some side piece,” I clasped my hands and fell to my bed in excitement. “Jennifer, Kylian's Luna. It sounds great. Oh, it must suck to be Maya right now,” I laughed loudly and rolled happily from each ends of my bed. Only a matter of time, then I'd woo his heart, move into his room and give him the time of his life. “A girl would do or another son,” I whispered to myself “We will have children to mark our reunion and the only thing I gotta do this time is not get caught,” A smirk escaped my lips and I willfully let out more, giggling like I was in a fantasy island that tickled me all night. My eyes refused to shut open from excitement. I couldn't wait to wake up tomorrow just to be greeted with the official news of her disappearance “Hey, Jennife
Chapter 76: The smart move of a con.Jennifer's POV.The night I had with Dexter was risky but worth it. I needed Dexter as much as our passion burned all night long.Since the start when I knew him, he always had a dark intention that he kept secret. He wanted to be the Alpha of the Red Phoenix Pack but he wasn't strong enough to challenge the mighty Alpha, Kylian.Some years ago, I was in bed with a stranger I invited over. Mere minutes from embracing him, Dexter stormed in with an emergency for Kylian but he was not around.He caught me holding hands with the stranger, I thought I was done for, especially when he kicked the stranger out. I begged him to keep my secret and I was also afraid that I would have to eliminate one of Kylian's trusted guards but tables turned for me in a way that I never expected.“Since when have you been cheating on Kylian,” Dexter asked me in an old, dusty room.“This is my first. I haven't done it yet but I'm not happy in this relationship and I don't
Chapter 77: Nothing I had never thought of.Jennifer's POV.Mrs Castle, the whining machine gave up, putting a pause and causing trouble for the entire household.A confession, that was sufficient to make me freeze and change my expression towards her. Of course it was going to be the whining simp to break first.My muscles felt like they were contorting as she stepped forward to save herself. I couldn't believe a war frightened Mrs Castle so much. Wasn't she supposed to be the wife of an Alpha? How weak willed could she be. I gnashed my teeth and glared subtly at her.She was ruining my chances. I knew Kylian was about to do it anyways, but at least I knew if they engaged in a battle it would buy me time to flee faraway with some loot.Surprisingly, just a moment ago when I had been gasping for an incident to intervene, I quickly changed and coiled back wishing for a reverse. “Anything but this, please,” I muttered.“Anything but telling Kylian the truth,” I repeated. My worry change
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. G
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

Chapter 73: Push past the boundaries. Kylian's POV “Gosh!” How stupid was I? I could have sensed from Maya's tone last night that something was amiss. She never wanted to talk about it and I just believed her. For the first time that I tried to keep my guard down, the worse happened. If I had my senses at an alert, I would have known when she got out of bed. I would have woken up with her and kept an eye for her.“I have told you. I know nothing of her disappearance,” Jennifer hurled her right arm at me and dragged her wrist out of my grasp.She was trying to get the attention of my parents. I could see the fear on her eyes, her legs were shaking miserably and sweat filled her face. “Nice try, Jen. You lied against her and put on an act yesterday, now she's gone and you expect me to believe you,” I uttered.“If you don't provide answers for me, I'll throw you in my prison,” “Then do it,” she clapped back. “I have been spending an eternity trying to beg for your forgiveness, but w
Chapter 72: A feeling of indifference.Kylian's POV The silence was piercing as I caught the faint resound of my echo. My little worry turned into anxiety and my anger began to simmer. I was sure she would be in the garden but she wasn't. Where the hell could she be in my palace? Absolutely, nowhere. The garden was the only place I frequently saw her but it was empty as a hollow box.I hurried to the kitchen in high hopes. She had to be there. There was no familiarity with Maya and the kitchen but I could not think of anywhere. “Maybe, she's trying to surprise me,” I tried to assure myself “She's there. I know it,”I imagined seeing her preparing breakfast and chatting with the maids. My hopes quelled my anger and stealthily, the speed of my pace increased massively.I had almost started running when I stopped and forced myself to relax “Nothing is wrong. Get a grip,” I tried to reassure myself.My confidence took a low spike downwards and I was a few minutes coming to an awful rea
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.My instincts quickly
Chapter 70: An intentional facadeJennifer's POV“I need you to get it for me this instant. 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
Chapter 69: Goodbye, Red Phoenix Pack Maya's POV The wardrobe squeaked open again and I heaved in frustration. I took care of the squeaking by hiding my bags at the far end of the wardrobe.The last thing I wanted was for Kylian to find out about my plan. He was too kind to me, I couldn't break the news to him. He would try to stop me, claiming he wanted his child and the end of our contract.That was where my fear stemmed from. 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. After I was done hiding my bags, I paced around the room waiting for his entry. Few minutes later, I heard noises at the door. I had exhausted my patience and longed to see him. I couldn't control myself, I rushed to the door and flung it open.A maid stood there with curious eyes, gaping at a brown envelope on her hands. She immediately
