" You have a son? " Victor asked me and I twitched my lips, unsure of what to reply. It was obvious that Ethan was his son, the resemblance struck.
" I do. You just heard him call me, do you need any other proof than that? " I asked him, patting Ethan on the head.
" Is he my son? " He questioned and I stifled a laugh, placing a hand over my mouth.
" You think too highly of yourself, Victor. What makes you think he is your son? Do you have proof of that? " I spat out, eyeing him with contempt.
" Whose son is he then? ".
" He is Gabriel's son, " I lied smoothly, as if I've been preparing for it for a long time. Victor scoffed, shaking his head as he licked his bottom lip.
" So, you actually did cheat on me and here I was, stupidly wanting to think I was wrong. You've actually confessed that you had an affair with Gabrie
VICTOR BLOODBORNEI stopped my car in front of the house and got down, storming into the house. I went straight into my room, clenching my jaw as I ignored all greetings from those that I passed by.She had a son? With Gabriel? I didn't think she would betray me to that level. I wasn't going to let that slide, she was still my wife.I took off my clothes and went into the bathroom, coming out with a towel wrapped around my waist. I wore a comfortable cloth and hopped on the bed, my eyes wide open as I thought about the events that took place in the Moonfire Pack.*" Where did you go last night? " Nelson asked, entering inside my room as I opened my eyes. I didn't even know when I slept off.I wanted to lash out at him, tell him to get the fuck out, but I closed my eyes, trying to control myself.
MAYAJulia and I walked into the station, my heels making a clicking sound with the ground as we passed through different cells, until we got to my destination." Alpha Maya, I've been expecting you, " Mr Adams greeted, standing up from the chair he was sitting on." Where is he? " I asked and he pointed to the cell where Victor was staying. I smirked and began to walk towards the cell, Adams following me behind." Alpha Maya, I think we need to discuss more about this, all the charges against Alpha Victor are absurd, he hasn't done anything of such, " Beta Nelson said, running to my side as soon as he saw me coming." Are you sure all the allegations against him are not true? Or are you trying to say that I made false accusations against him? " I stopped walking, turning to face him." I didn't mean it that way, Alpha Maya. I'm ju
I stared at Victor, my mouth slightly opened, but I was unable to form words. I didn't understand what he meant by Uncle Unkar, why would his Uncle kill Gabriel." What do you mean by that? What business does your Uncle have with Gabriel? " I asked him, not believing a bit of what he said." I found out a year after Gabriel's death that he was responsible for it. When I asked him about it, he confessed and said he saw Gabriel as a potential threat to the Pack that had to be eliminated, " he replied and I erupted into laughter, not knowing what to do anymore.I slammed the table, standing up abruptly as I glared at him, taking him by surprise. I released a low growl, not hiding this fact that I didn't believe him." I won't take anymore of your lies, Victor. I know you want to save your skin, but I find it lowly of you to stab your Uncle in the back just becau
" Uncle Unkar, such a pleasant surprise to see you here, in my Pack, " I greeted as soon as I got downstairs, Julia and Bella, following closely behind me." I heard you were the new Alpha of the Moonfire Pack, so I came here personally to greet you since we go way back, " he responded and I gestured for him to sit down, taking a seat in front of him as well." Wow! I can't believe the changes life has brought in five years, you look more like a woman in power now. I didn't believe it when I was told you had become an Alpha but I must say, being rich looks good on you, " he complimented and l giggled, placing a hand over my mouth." Being rich looks good on everyone. How have things been? I heard you were no longer staying at the Bloodfang Pack, " I started and he nodded, rubbing his palms together." You know I'm the type of person who travels around, stayin
" That piece of garbage, " Bella cursed after we were sure that Unkar had left the pack. She bawled her fists in anger, breathing noisily." This is crazy. So, Alpha Victor was right. Uncle Unkar killed Gabriel because he saw him as a potential threat to the Pack, " Julia stated and I stood up, turning to the both of them." We can't be so sure about it, it would be bad if we jump into conclusion without gathering facts, " I told them, but the both of them only ganged up on me." What other facts do we need? We have Victor's testimony, we can end that scumbag's life at once, " Bella pressed on." Sweetheart, that was what we thought and ended up blaming Victor even though he was innocent. If we jump in like that, we'll end up making mistakes, " I explained, but they weren't having it." What makes Victor innocent? He's a scumbag just like
CHAPTER SEVENTY SIXI scoffed at what he said, unsure whether I should believe him or not. What did he mean by Unkar was responsible for Victor's mother's death?" Why would Uncle Unkar kill his sister-in-law? " I asked and he let out a sigh, clasping his hands together." Alpha, not everyone is as good as they act, Unkar Bloodborne is a very good example. From what I figured out, Alicia Martin was pregnant with the current Alpha when she died. It was only a miracle that the baby was able to survive. It turned out that the person he was targeting was the child, so he wouldn't take over the Alpha's position, " he elaborated and I scoffed again, as this felt like a movie to me." The same Unkar that I know killed Victor's mother? So much for being his favorite person in the world, " I mumbled, rolling my tongue as different thoughts ran through my head." Thanks for y
" Alpha Victor is an evil man, someone who uses the power he has to prey on the weak. He doesn't care for anyone apart from himself and he takes others like his pests who he can treat with so much cruelty. He abuses power and cares only about what he will gain and not what he can offer, " he said, fidgeting with his fingers as he lowered his head." Why haven't you spoken up sooner, we would have done something about it, " the council head asked and he licked his quivering lips." We couldn't do anything about it as we had no power. One of us who tried to voice out her opinion got into serious trouble and ended up begging for death. We were scared, until Alpha Maya offered to help, " the other lady replied and he nodded, like he was still in doubt." What made you think that she was going to succeed in helping you? For all we know, she could have ended up like your friend did, be
" A secret? " He asked, his brows furrowed in questioning and I nodded slowly, closing my eyes momentarily." The council head has agreed to go ahead with the charges that I have pressed against you. I found out and decided to come share the good news with you first before any other person. You're going to have to answer to the council and then they'll debate on whether to let you keep your position. Though, it would be very difficult for you to keep your position if you get detained, no one would want an ex-convict to lead them as an Alpha, " I stated and he scoffed unbelievably, ruffling his hair." Good news? You see my misfortune as good news? " He asked and I threw my head back in amusement, enjoying the reaction I was getting from him." Do you expect me to give a fuck about your misfortune? You didn't care that I was suffering five years ago when you toyed with me, but you
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
