" Alpha Victor, " I called out, but was ignored as he walked out of the office. I closed my eyes, for fear that he would drop me, but he began to walk downstairs.
I hid my face in his chest in case someone passed. The last thing I wanted was to be reprimanded by the pack members for trying to seduce their Alpha because I knew he wouldn't care to correct their thoughts. After all, I was a weak and pathetic Omega who couldn't even walk.
We got out of the house, but he kept walking. My legs were fine already, they weren't trembling anymore. I tried to tell him to put me down so I could walk back to the Omega's house, but strangely, I wasn't able to talk. It was like they were sealed and I knew it was his doing.
We got to the front of the Omega's house, and prayed that he wouldn't take me inside. Fortunately, he stopped walking and put me down, pink color creeping to my cheeks.
" Thank you, Alpha, " I bowed my head in respect, but he ignored me and walked away. I heaved out a sigh, knowing he was back to his usual self and entered inside the house, going straight to my room.
I opened the door slowly to avoid making noise as I knew Julia would be asleep as it was late already. I adjusted her wrapper to cover her whole body and went to my bed, drifting into sleep as soon as I laid down.

VICTOR BLOODBORNE
' What the hell did I just do? ' I thought to myself as I walked away from Omega's house. I couldn't believe that I just did something as stupid as that and for Maya at that. I didn't know what came over me, I wasn't one to act rashly like that.
I walked back to my office. I was going to be working overnight with Gabriel today as there had been a lot of work that he had yet to complete.
" Where did you go? I was surprised not to see you in your office, " Gabriel said as soon as I entered inside.
" I went outside for some fresh air and ended up taking a walk around the Pack, " I lied. It would sound absurd if I told him I carried Maya in my arms back to Omega's house just because she couldn't walk.
" So, what did you notice while walking around? You mostly do that when you want to find something to renovate, " he asked again and I knew he didn't believe my lie. I couldn't blame him though, my lie made no sense. How would I be walking around the Pack at night?
Deciding not to give him a reply, I walked to my chair and sat down as I picked up my pen and started writing again.
I wasn't able to complete what I was doing earlier as I watched her sleep. She felt calm and the way she snuggled on the chair, trying to make herself comfortable actually got my heart beating.
I wanted to take her to the sofa so she could sleep more comfortably as I knew her neck was going to ache the moment she got up, but I kicked against the idea without giving it much thought.
She wasn't the one for me, I couldn't do anything to make her feel otherwise. But my actions this night proved me wrong, I just couldn't overlook her trembling legs. I didn't know what was wrong with me, I have never acted that way towards anyone before.
"Alpha Victor," Gabriel called out, his tone laced with concern. I turned to look at him, wondering what was amiss. "You haven't been listening to me. Is everything alright?" he asked, his brows furrowing.
"Gabriel," I replied, my voice laced with uncertainty. He raised a questioning brow, waiting for me to continue. "What do you think of Maya?" I inquired, curious to hear his perspective.
"Maya? Your wife?" he questioned, a hint of surprise coloring his voice. I wanted to reprimand him for his choice of words, but deep down, I knew he was right. Maya was indeed my wife, so I nodded in acknowledgement. "Hmm... she's undeniably beautiful and seems amiable, but she appears fragile and vulnerable.
Her presence could potentially be exploited as a weakness against us. While she may possess a quick wit and the ability to stand up for herself, I struggle to envision her as our Luna," he shared his thoughts, echoing the very sentiment I had hoped to hear.
"But Victor, everything I just mentioned is based on assumptions and what I perceive you want to hear. However, I genuinely believe you should give her a chance. Yes, she may be weak, but we can help her cultivate her strength. I don't think you should abandon her; it would be akin to abandoning a member of our pack," Gabriel advised, his words carrying a note of sincerity. I exhaled deeply, grappling with conflicting emotions.
His words caught me off guard. While part of me wanted to help Maya discover her inner strength, I struggled to see any glimmer of hope within her. The last thing I desired was to invest my time and effort in rescuing something that seemed already lost.
Before I could dwell further on these thoughts, a knock echoed through the room, signifying permission for the visitor to enter. One of the guards stepped inside, bowing respectfully to both Gabriel and me. I recognized him as one of the guards I had dispatched to monitor the Moonfire Pack.
"Alpha, Beta, I bring news from the Moonfire Pack," he announced, his voice carrying a grave tone. Gabriel and I exchanged a knowing glance before granting him permission to continue. My heart raced in anticipation for the news he was about to deliver. What could it be?
"Alpha Caleb of the Moonfire Pack is dead," he delivered the startling revelation, sending shockwaves through our very core.
MAYAThe loud ringing of a bell was what woke Julia and I this morning. I looked at the old clock on the wall and realized that it was five o'clock, the time Sarah told us we were to wake up.Julia and I immediately got out of bed and took our clothes before heading to the bathroom. We both gasped at the line of ladies who were waiting to take their bath and the bathroom was just two stalls.We fell in line since we knew that reporting to the kitchen without taking our bath would result in a grave punishment from the chefs. The Moonfire Pack had taught us enough of that and we wouldn't want to make the same mistake in this pack.We ended up going to work late as we were the last set to take our bath and by the time we got to the kitchen, the breakfast we were supposed to have had finished. Which meant that there was no breakfast for us and we had to wait till
I stood there, looking at him warily, unsure of what his deal was this time around. The aroma in the air meant that he actually made food, but why he called me here was what I couldn't decipher." You made a meal for me? " I asked, cringing at the thought and he nodded. " Why? "." Because I wanted to. Is there a problem with that, " he snapped at me. He cooked for me, but his personality still remained the same. How the hell does he expect me to interpret that?Without waiting for any response from me, he held my shoulders and guided me to the dining room. He pulled out a seat for me, gesturing for me to sit down. I stood there for a minute, debating on whether I should sit or run, since I found his behavior rather strange and suspicious.Still, I sat down on the chair, clearing my throat. He excused himself for a while and left the dining room, coming back with a tray of food. He placed the food on the table and I swallowed my saliva, trying not to act like I was affected by the foo
VICTOR BLOODBORNE" Alpha, we are under attack, " the guard told me and I stood up from the couch I was sitting on." What's the status? " I asked as I headed outside." The rogues are about thirty. The Warriors are trying to fight them, but most of the Warriors are not available, so we're being overpowered, " be explained and I nodded. " Try to keep them until I get there, I'll be there soon, " I assured them and cut the call. I tried to leave the house, but Maya held my arms and I had to turn to look at her" Is everything alright? " She asked and I nodded my head." Rogues have managed to enter the Pack, but it is something we can keep in control. But, you must stay here. Under no circumstance must you leave this house, do you understand? " I asked and she nodded her head. I contemplated on whether I should lock the door or not, but I decided not to as I had no time for that.I walked away from the house and took off my clothes, trying them on my legs before shifting. I was a big
MAYAI watched as Alpha Victor ran out of the house and into the woods. For some reasons, I was concerned about his safety, but I brushed it off since I knew he was Alpha and could protect himself.Instead, I closed the door behind me and walked back to the sofa to sit down, taking a last gulp of my drink before I placed it back on the table.I tried not to think about his safety, but every time I tried to avoid it, the death of Alpha Caleb always popped up in my head." What the hell is your problem, Maya? Why can't you just think straight? " I asked as I patted my face, trying to focus.In a moment, Julia's face flashed in my memory and I got up instantly, feeling stupid for forgetting about her just because I was so preoccupied with the thought of Alpha Victor.I walked towards the door, promising that all I would
I opened my eyes slowly and blinked, trying to get familiar with my surroundings. The ceiling was white and there was a beeping monitor beside me. It only made sense one place I would be at, the hospital.I tried to get up, but I felt a sharp pain and laid down. I winced, and closed my eyes, trying to remember all that happened." You're awake, " Alpha Victor called out and I turned to look at him, sitting on the couch, his eyes swollen like he didn't sleep well." What happened? " I asked him, trying to sit up again and this time around, I did it successfully." I find it really surprising that you don't remember last night's event even after you disobeyed my orders twice, Maya, " he said, standing up and walking towards me. For some reason, I liked the way my name sounded on his lips.I closed my eyes again and tried to remember a
" You'll be staying here from now on, " he ordered and my eyes widened, wondering if I heard him well as there was no reason for him to tell me to live with them." I don't understand, Alpha Victor. Why would I live in a higher-up's house? " I asked him, trying to free my hands from his grip." Didn't you hear what the doctor said? I have to take extra caution with you which means that I must watch over you like a nanny every fucking time. Will you still say that you've not added yourself to the problems bi have at hand? " he spat out and I couldn't hold the scoff that came out from my mouth." I didn't ask you to do that for me, you're the one telling me to come live in your house when I clearly have a place to stay. Besides, I'm not a kid that can't take care of herself and Julia can help tend to my injuries. You do not have to concern yourself over an Omega like me and I don't want to add t
" Hello, Maya, " she greeted and I bowed my head at her, opening the door wide enough for her to enter. As soon as Julia saw her, she stood up from the bed and bowed her head also.Gamma Serena entered the room, looking around as she twitched her lips, her heels making a clicking sound as it came in contact with the floor." I see you're not the only one staying in this room, " she stated as her eyes met Julia who still bowed her head to her." Yes. We have been ordered by the Alpha to start working here henceforth, " I replied and she nodded her head slowly, humming in response." How is your neck? " She asked and I raised my head to look at her." It's better than before. Thanks for your concern, " I responded." I hope we will get along, I find it difficult to associate with people, " she explained and I licked my lower lips, not unders
A glowing pair of blue eyes was staring at me so immensely, that I felt something was on my face even though I couldn't see anything. At first, I was scared, but his eyes alone made me feel safe, safer than I have ever been." Beta Gabriel, " I called out and he shook his head before helping me stand up. He began to walk away, and I frowned, wondering if he was just going to leave like that.Suddenly, the light came on and I had to close my eyes, due to the intensity of the light and opened it later, just to see him standing in front of me, causing me to jump. I placed my hands on my chest, heaving out a sigh of relief." What were you doing in the dark? " He asked, not fazed by my behavior. To be honest, I was taken by surprise by the fact that he finally talked to me, after bringing me to the Bloodfang Pack. I almost thought he had gone dumb after that day.
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
