" Ben? Was it you? You're the one who told Unkar and Serena, right? " I questioned, but he gave me no response.
" Answer me, Ben? Why would you tell us? " I asked again and he raised his head, staring at us.
" I should have thought that when I found out about the mole, since you have betrayed me once. Only the Goddess knows why I didn't, " I told him.
Ben was formerly my personal bodyguard and I trusted him with a lot of things. That was until I found out that he was the very person who killed Gabriel under the orders of my uncle.
He had been walking freely ever since I found out about what he did to Gabriel and that was because my uncle was involved. But now, I didn't give a fuck about anything that happened to any of them.
" So, what do you want me to do about what you have done today? Because of you, my son's life is in danger, " I pointed out, but
VICTOR BLOODBORNE" Victor, I think Ethan is in danger, " Rica announced and my eyes widened in surprise at what she said." What do you mean by that? " Julia asked and Rica winced in pain again." I don't know as well, but the link that connects the both of us is weak at the moment, " she elaborated, clenching her fists. " I'm going to kill that bitch when I see her, " she gritted her teeth and I couldn't help but be scared of her." You have to calm down, Rica, " I tried to calm her down, lifting my hands to touch her shoulders, but she slapped it away, glaring at me." You want me to calm down in this situation? After what I just told you? " She snapped at me." What do you want me to say to you? " I retorted and she scoffed." My son has been missing for a while, and now, he is in danger. And all you can te
RICAI clenched my fists so tightly as I watched Victor walk away with his Beta. My hands were beginning to hurt, but I couldn't care less about that." Rica, you're going to hurt yourself, " Julia exclaimed, grabbing my hands and I furiously slapped her hands away, facing my back at her." How does that concern you? How is that your business? " I snapped at her. She might be Maya's best friend and confidant, but she wasn't mine. Not that I needed one anyway." You might not care about your body, but Maya does and I won't want to see her in pain because of your recklessness. Besides, how do you intend to fight Serena with an injured hand? Do you think you're going to the playground? " She scolded me and I turned to glare at her." What right do you have to scold me? I am your Alpha, " I reminded." No, Maya is my Alpha and you are her alter ego
" Victor, I'm sorry for everything I said to you earlier, " I apologized to him, bowing my head a little. I wanted to puke, I couldn't believe I was doing this, apologizing to this asshole. After all the promises I made to myself, I couldn't believe I was doing something as absurd as that. Of course, it was against my wish, but I had no option. Aside from knowing everything about Maya, that bitch also knew everything about me and knew the way I could leave and never return and that was what she used to threaten me with. I had no other option but to do what she wanted me to do and that was to apologize to Victor in order to maintain peace. According to her, both the Moonfire Pack and Bloodfang Pack were in alliance with each other since the Alphas of the two packs are in love with each other. But my presence could disturb everything and if t
VICTOR BLOODBORNEI stared at the head tracker immensely, not knowing if I should believe him or not, even though I know he doesn't have any reason to tease us." Really? Did you really find them? " Nelson asked the question that was bothering me and that was when I realized that I should have just asked him, rather than stare at him so creepily.I saw Rica retrace her steps, walking back to us and I stifled a laugh, not wanting to give her the suspicion that I was mocking her." Not really. We only got a…… " he was cut off while talking." Did you find them or not? Why are you not giving a direct answer? " Rica snapped at him and he gulped in fear." We got a lead, but we haven't found them yet. I just wanted to inform the Alpha about the new step we got into, " he tried to explain, smiling as he pushed
3RD PERSONVictor knew that was going to happen, but it still came as a shock to him when it did. They were supposed to be searching for Serena and Unkar and not fighting each other.Julia winced as she hit her back with a heavy thud, groaning in pain. She held Rica's hand which was tightly placed on her neck and she tried not to give Rica the satisfaction that she was hurting her." What the hell did you say to me, bitch? " She spat out, growling slowly at her." It's exactly what you heard me say to you, " Julia retorted, straining her voice a little." How dare you talk to me like that, you wench? I am your Alpha and I demand respect from you, " she growled loudly and Julia bursted into a humorless laughter.Victor knew that it was time for him to interfere, knowing that if he kept staying silent like he had been doing, then Jul
3RD PERSONImmediately Nelson saw that Victor had let go of Rica's hand, he rushed to grab it before it landed on Julia's face.It was highly inappropriate for an Alpha to fight with her Beta, especially if the Beta's wolf had gotten control over her body. It was termed treason for the Beta and misuse of power for the Alpha.He wouldn't have been bothered if they were the only ones in the house, but there were warriors and trackers as well and a lot of things could go wrong if they began to talk." The both of you should get a grip on yourselves. Can't you see that people are beginning to gather? Do you think you are ordinary pack members? What do you think your members would feel or say if they heard that their Alpha and Beta are fighting each other? " He scolded me.' Are you crazy? Why would you let go of her hands like that? Do you want Julia to di
Nelson kept staring at Julia, trying to observe her in case she was lying to him about what she said. But, she wasn't lying to him as he found nothing that was suspicious." Did she really try to kill you? " He asked in a low voice and she nodded slowly in affirmation. " Does that even make sense? Why did she try to kill you! When? Where? " He questioned, his eyes traveling so many places at once as he demanded an answer." It happened when she was first created four years ago, " she started and at that moment, he let out a sigh of relief, closing his eyes for a moment." Damn it, Julia! " He cursed out, taking her by surprise. " I thought it was something that happened recently. What? Four years ago? " He sneered at her and she sneered back, rolling her eyes." Did you have to react that way? Did I ever tell you that it happened recently? " She retorted and he tilted his
3RD PERSONNelson and Julia stood up abruptly, staring at Victor and Rica with widened eyes. They weren't expecting the trackers to be that fast in finding them, especially since it took them a while to do that the first time." Are you sure it was them we found? For all we know, this could be a trap set by then for us to avoid finding them, " Nelson asked, unsure if he should go ahead with what they said or they should double-check.Julia wanted to agree with what Nelson said, but they had no more time to waste anymore since they had wasted enough the first time. If only that snitch didn't betray them, then they wouldn't have been going through this phase again." We would have loved to double-check, Nelson, but there is no more time to do that. We all know how cunning Serena can be, it's a big wonder how Ethan is still alive until now, " Victor told him. Rica glare
Chapter 229MAYAThe next day, Victor woke me up with his hands in my sleep shorts. I moaned and he made quick work of turning me into a quivering mess.He had gotten very good at this. I smiled as he came up and planted a hard kiss on my smiling lips."Come on, we're going on a date. To make up for the last one that was interrupted," he said, hoisting me up.I smirked, liking that he didn't ask this time way more than I was willing to admit. I jumped into the bathroom and I took a long shower. One longer than I expected because I shaved everywhere and everything.It was when I was picking an outfit I remembered I didn't ask him what type of date it was. So settle on cargo pants and a cute crop top that I tied up in the back. It was secure in case I needed to tackle anyone but still very cute.I went down for breakfast, which was eggs, br
Chapter 228MAYAWe set out early the next day. The trip was chill, mostly because I connected to the car's sound system and I was able to play my own music. I had great song choices.But Bella wasn't relaxed. She kept tapping her feet while looking out the window. I would gently point it out and she would stop after apologizing only to start a few minutes later. I gave up after the fourth time. I'd even caught her almost putting her cute purple nails in her mouth once or twice.I didn't know what she was worried about. She was a nice, pretty girl. She had done her hair up in a ponytail and curled it. She was wearing a black t-shirt with cute denim shirts and black Nikes.I immediately came down to stretch my spine when we arrived. But after a full body stretch I noticed that Bella was still sitting stiffly in the car.And Nelson has
MAYAI went back to my room and laid down staring at the ceiling. I hadn't realized that they thought that way about me. I wasn't mad or sad, it was just something I had to accept. I was roused out of my musings when someone knocked."Who is it?" I yelled."It's me, Victor," he replied.A small smile began to spread on my face. "Come in."He pushed the door open and made a beeline for me. He kissed me and then lay down beside me. "Hey.""Hey. Where have you been?" I enquired."I went for a run. Then a quick dip in the stream. Very nice.""That sounds lovely."He must have heard something in my voice because he sat up, then propped his head on his palm and looked at me. "Are you ok?" Victor asked, cocking his head.I almost told him but what would th
MAYABella walked downstairs rubbing her eyes. She stopped in her tracks when she saw us in the kitchen, surprised to see us for some reason, and then straightened."Good morning," she greeted and walked to the fridge, rooting around in itI looked over to Julia to confirm if I was the only one who thought she was almost cold. Julia's brow was furrowed, the expression on her face mirroring what I thought mine would be.Lily cleared her throat. "Excuse me Alpha," she whispered and walked out of the kitchen without looking back. She also thought Bella was being weird."Is something the matter?" I asked."Nope," Bella answered quickly.Now that was definitely a little curt. I wasn't in the mood to walk around the issue so I came out and stated my mind."I think there's something going on and I'm not going to
MAYAI woke up very early the next morning, feeling so sleepy even though I knew that it would be so difficult for me to go back to sleep. I quickly freshened up and went downstairs, going to the kitchen to take a bottle of water." Good morning, Lily, " I greeted her, going to the fridge to grab the bottled water." Good morning, Alpha. You woke up early today, you couldn't sleep? " She asked." I just felt so excited this morning that I couldn't help but wake up early. And what's with the formalities? Do you really have to call me that when we go way back with each other? " I asked and she chuckled." I just felt it would be comfortable for me to call you that since you're my boss, " she answered." Whatever makes you comfortable. How do you like your work? Is it too stressful? Is anyone being rude to you? " I asked but she shook her head." Surprisingly, no. They are all respectful and nice, and I don't regret coming here with you. I have a good and comfortable place to sleep, I ea
CHAPTER TWO HUNDRED AND TWENTY FOUR (224)MAYAAfter I was done talking with Ken and he had agreed to do exactly as I had told him to, I left his room, heading to Julia's.I knew she would be asleep already, but I still felt the need to talk to her that night and not the next day." Maya, what are you doing here? " She asked as she came to open the door, rubbing her sleepy eyes. I entered the room without saying anything, sitting on the sofa." I came to talk to you, " I answered, raising my head to look at her." Tonight? Can't you wait till tomorrow morning? It's pretty late and everyone is fast asleep, so let's just talk tomorrow morning, " she suggested, but I shook my head, not willing to listen to her." I need to talk to you tonight, I might not have the chance to do that tomorrow morning. You should sit down and listen to me, I won't take much of your time, " I promised and she heaved out a sigh before sitting on the bed." Why didn't you tell me? " I asked and she raised a br
MAYAI froze in my seat upon hearing what Ken said. I wasn't expecting that kind of confession from him, especially since I came to his room with the intention of trying to urge him to propose to Julia so that they can get married." That was unexpected, " I blurted out as I didn't know what to say. He opened his eyes slowly, staring at me with a confused expression." You're not angry? " He asked and I shrugged, still speechless." I don't just know how to respond to what you said since I wasn't expecting that kind of confession from you. But you must have a reason for wanting to break up with her, so I can't get angry at you just like that, " I told him." You didn't even ask me why I said that, " he pointed out and I snorted." Of course, I would ask you as I believe that I deserve to know. I was just trying to gather my thoughts in one piece to avoid it shattering again, " I responded and took a deep breath, closing my eyes. Upon opening it back, I clasped my hands together, raisi
MAYAEveryone went silent after hearing my announcement. Happiness filled Carissa's eyes, but Julia was cringing in disgust, staring at me." Hey, why would you even think of pairing Bella with Nelson? They are obviously incompatible, " she pointed out and I felt the need to correct her on that." What makes you think they're incompatible? Have they met each other? Why would you say something like that and try to jinx it? " I scolded." I'm not jinxing anything, Maya, I'm just stating the fact. Bella isn't cool headed, neither is he, " she argued." But they haven't met with each other yet. No one can predict what their feelings would become. Besides, what's wrong with Nelson? He's a cool guy, he is competent and has a lot of potential, " I retorted." But…… " she tried to argue again, but I was quick to stop her." Just because you don't like Nelson doesn't mean he is a bad person, Julia, " I told her." I'm not saying he is a bad person, I was just trying to voice out my opinion on
MAYAWithout wasting any more time, Victor and I began to pack our bags, making preparations to travel back to the Moonfire Pack." Why do you guys have to leave so early? I was glad that I wouldn't be lonely in this big house anymore and you're leaving again? " Nelson whined, pouting and I engulfed him in a hug." That's why I have been urging you to find a woman you want to settle down with. Stop having flings and one night stands anymore, you should get married to avoid being lonely during times like this anymore, " I advised and he instantly pulled away from me." No, thank you, I'm not ready to commit myself to a lady yet, " he admitted and I nodded, handing my bags over to him." Then, die in loneliness, " I spat out before walking out of the house.Victor helped us out our things in the back of the car before entering the dr
