From the room which just became mine last night to the dining table, I was nothing but a zombie. For some reason, Samantha's words pricked my heart, making me confused.' Hah! For someone of your status here you sure feel big!' I scoffed Inwardly, toberating myself why I would feel so uncomfortable with Samantha talking about the Lycan king's past sex slaves. Then again, I kept pondering why since I arrived here, the people were treating me like I was a part of the pack, like I didn't come here like a slave but an official member of the pack." Maya!" Samantha's voice drew me from my jumbled thoughts, reminding me of her presence." Yes, were you saying something?" Shaking her head, Samantha smiled." No, just reminding you that you took the wrong turn." That's when I realised that I was heading to the patio and not the dining room." Sorry." I Said sheepishly, following behind Samantha who was giggling. The girl is always happy, everything makes get smile, making me wonder if she r
The table was spread with all types of exotic foods I have ever seen. Foods I only got to see in the past but not taste. Back at the blue moon pack, I would prepare some of the meals for Regina and Logan but I would never dare to taste them because that was unforgivable! Omegas had a different diet compared to the rest of the pack members. Food to me wada luxury in my previous Pack. I lost count of the number of nights I would sleep and wake up on an empty stomach.Seeing the variety of dishes In Front of me which appeared to be mouth watering and smelled delicious, my stomach grumbled loudly.Everybody turned to look at Me but I didn't hear the laughter I was expecting. Instead, Samantha glared at her brother while the Lycan King looked at me with guilty filled eyes, making me confused why he would look at me as if he wronged me. Beta Leo on the other hand had a taunting smile on his face." Someone was behaving all possessive yet he can't remember to do the most basic thing to his
Samantha dragged me to her room to get ready for what she called a shopping free. I have never been to the market since I arrived at Blue Moon Pack. Omegas were not allowed to go outside the pack and there was no market in the pack.The only market was near the Lycan kingdom and if my guess is correct, that's where we will be going." It's rare to have Gideon voluntarily give me his shopping card." Samantha squealed Making be eye her suspiciously. She was a Lycan princess and I could see how much her brother spoiled her although he tried to mask it. Even looking at how princess-like her room was, she had to be kidding if she meant Gideon was strict with her expenses. Everything in the room was fancy, even the carpet in her room was knitted with gold threads.Apart from the fact that this pack housed the most powerful Lycans, it was also rich with minerals like gold and silver. It's through mining that they amassed a lot of wealth and built a very strong kingdom.It's no wonder they c
" Do you think so?" I asked, not really getting what to feel about my situation. The people here treat me well except for a few ladies I saw frowning at me while others glared at me with hate as we Walked to princess Samantha's room.At Least here, nobody gets to force me to wake up at five in the morning to start my duties. If anything, this was the kind of life I have always dreamt about but something was lacking, a mate.I have always dreamt of having a mate but after what I went through in the hands of Logan who was supposed to protect and cherish me, I no longer entertain the Idea of having a mate. He might turn up to be even worse than Logan.But who am I kidding? I can't stop my heart from longing for a companion, someone I could proudly call my own,a husband to welcome home every evening.Although I am treated well in this kingdom, I am nothing but a sex slave to the Lycan King at the end of the day.Walking back to Me, Samantha gazed at me. Her gaze was sharp and not her usua
Gideon POVI have never had such a long night like this before. After I showed my mate her room which was opposite my own,I quickly left so that she could not see how turned on I was. Having her in my arms was heavenly, I felt like she was a part of me.I didn't want to leave her alone for the night but with her intoxicating scent which was doing nothing and everything to my senses, I decided to flee.She was weak and tired, making me wonder what that scumbag had been doing to my mate, what she went through in that pack. He should pray I don't find out he had been mistreating her. I didn't mind exterminating that insignificant Pack. That little woman awakened the possessiveness in me. She is mine and nobody would ever take her from me.I can't wait to have her in my arms. The sight of her was enough to send me raging hard-on. She turned me on in ways no other woman has ever done.That's one of the reasons I didn't dare to linger around her after taking her to her room. I was worried
" You Know the council is not the only problem you have when it comes to your mate. You should be careful if you don't want anything happening to her." Leo warned me before walking away.I gritted my teeth in anger, promising myself that I'll not let anything happen to my mate.I went back to my room at dawn after working out the whole night. After washing up and dressing for the day, I left for breakfast.I knew that my sister had already taken my mate out for breakfast. I just hoped that Samantha would not end up blurting the relationship between me and Maya.Leo joined us for breakfast. Usually, I prefer having breakfast in my office and would most of the time skip meeting with my sister but with Maya around,I could not miss the chance to spend time with her.My presence at the dining table had my sister cocking her brows at me, something I totally ignored before pulling a chair for my mate.She seemed taken aback by my actions but I wasn't going to back down either.I can tell dee
Maya POVShopping with Samantha was something I would not think about doing any other day. It's been hours and the number of clothes I have tried is beyond my memory.From one shop to the other, from one store to the other. Although to me this was like a breath of fresh air, I won't say that I haven't been able to experience a Life I have never got to live before." That red dress looks perfect. I swear my brother won't be able to take his eyes off you. Go try it." Samantha said enthusiastically, making me groan.Today, she has decided to turn me into her personal model, making me try clothes from all brands and styles. I have to admit that her sense of fashion is top-notch. Everything she chooses turns out to be perfect for me." Don't you think that's enough? It's your brother's money you are using." I reminded her but she only giggled." That's the plan sweetheart, we are going to ensure we leave a dent in his pockets." Samantha replied, grinning mischievously making me shake my he
Gideon POVAfter talking with Leo, I was not in the mood to work anymore. Activating my magic, I made my eagle fly and follow Samantha and my mate.Just like Leo said,my mate could be in danger by roaming the market. Not that the people I sent to follow them secretly were incompetent or something, I just wanted to make sure she was fine.I would not risk leaving my mate in the hands of my enemies.One thing is for Sure, the Strongholm family will not miss any chance to get back at me for what I did to their daughter and what better way to hurt me than hurting my mate.I Know that the identity of Maya as my mate is not known by many but it won't take time before others do.As my mate, I want to give her what's the best of me and I would not let anybody threaten her.I followed the two girls from afar with my eagle. I had made a connection through magic to see whatever the eagle sees and the eagle can also feel whatever I am feeling.Everything went well for the most part of the day as
" Every year on this day,you come to drink with me. Tell me Maya, what is the matter?" Samantha asked, pouring me another glass of wine." I can't drink with you though." She added, sounding apologetic." I know that. Kyle told me that you guys are expecting again. Congratulations." I said.Six years ago, Kyle and Samantha finally got married and were blessed with a baby boy, Allison." He won't stop telling everybody about it. He's hoping we could have a girl this time." Samantha said with a smile." Anyway, don't try to change the subject. Tell me, it's been years, why do you still feel guilty about your parents death? You and I both know that you had nothing to do with that." She added, making me take a deep breath before sighing heavily." Samantha, do you think I am a filial daughter?" I asked and it seemed like my question took her aback.Samantha stared at me blankly for a minute before a frown settled on her face." Why are you asking that? I don't understand." Confusion was a
" Wake up Zara, it is time to start your training." I smiled at my daughter who was covered from head to toe and definitely pretending to be asleep." Zara dear, I am going to tickle you." I sang out sweetly and the girl immediately woke up, her face terrified.If there is something that Zara fears the most is being tickled." Okay, okay. I'm going to train." She muttered pretending to rub her eyes.A yawn escaped her mouth.Just when she was about to Step down, her father and my husband, Gideon stepped Inside the room." You are being hard on our daughter, Love. Let her sleep some more. She is young and energetic. She can learn everything later." As always, he was here to let his daughter off the hook.This has always been what he does, spoiling his daughter and giving in to her every demand and whim." But Gideon…" Before I could say anything,he snaked his arms around my waist, pulling my body to his." Our daughter is the princess, she does not need to work hard. She can have anyt
" Nooooo!" I cried out, my legs moving impossibly fast as I held Albanus in my arms.The dagger had stabbed directly into his heart and I knew that there was no way I would be saving him.As I held him in my arms, I could not help but let my tears fall.A beautiful smile was plastered on his face as he looked me in the face." Why Albanus! Why did you do that? Why are you stupid?" I yelled at him, my tears flowing like a river.I did not bother to restrain them as they fell, each drop of my tears falling on his face." They say that love is blind but not stupid. I think my Love for you is both blind and stupid. I Love you Maya and I can do anything to see you happy. Since it's Gideon you love, why would I let you suffer after he's dead. I am not generous but I can lay my life to see those I love happy. Be happy please and don't cry. You don't look so good when you cry." Although his voice sounded weak, Albanus still struggled to tell me those words.My hands were soaked with his warm
" Milady, the pack kingdom is under attack!" Brianna's worried and anxious voice reached my mind through the Link." What?" I yelled, jumping on my feet before racing outside.I had confined myself in my chambers again for a whole day and night, trying to practise my magic and learn how to control it." The southern border has been taken down and they are heading to the castle. What should we do?" Brianna cried. I could feel the worry in her voice,not like I was not worried myself but I had prepared myself for this day." Calm down Brianna. I want you to do something for me. Take Zara to safety. Take her to the bunker and wait for me there. No matter what happens, do not let her out of your sight." I instructed, racing down the stairs.The kingdom has always been fortified so how could they break in so quickly?How could they easily make their way as far as to the castle unless this was all but a trap?However, I didn't have time to ponder on that, I just knew I had to stand up and de
Maya POVI have been feeling pretty anxious these last few days. Ever since I lost control and hurt Avery, I have not heard anything from her but knowing that woman, she would look for a way to get back at me.The sky is gloomy and so is my mood. I am not a superstitious person but something is telling me that something is wrong Somewhere.I haven't seen Gideon since I woke up.Brianna said he spent the night in our chambers that night and Left at dawn.She also told me that I was out for almost twenty four hours.When I woke up, it was already past midday.Samantha was the one by my side when I woke up.She actually never talks about Gideon and I appreciate her for that.I don't want to talk about him but that does not hide the worry I have for him.With him spending time with Avery, who knows what she would do to him?" Milady, someone is here to see you." Brianna announces from outside my room.I have been stuck here all day long practising my magic.My control over magic is someth
Third person POV" Alpha Lucio,are you saying that your niece is still alive?" I glared at the man under my cloak wondering why I did not get rid of him three years ago." Yes, Dark Lord. That brat is still alive and that means that our plans are jeopardised." Alpha Lucio replied." Hazia said that she made sure to kill the child, how come she is still alive or could it be that she lied to all of us." His eyes regarded me with suspicion and I glared at him.I would have to keep up with my disguise for as long as it can last because that is the only way I can protect my sister's daughter.I made a mistake and I am going to correct that mistake.I will never allow the dark lord to take over the land. That would be over my dead body!" What are trying to insinuate Lucio? Are you questioning my loyalty to my Lord?" I stalked him, letting my magic free.Lucio took a step back in fear, making me smile Inwardly.That's all you needed to do, Just scare him a little bit and the fellow will be
Looking at my mate in another man's arms had my throat clog but I still managed to keep a straight face.It hurts but I Know my mate. Maya will never ever betray me, not with someone like Albanus at least.But I won't say that Avery's words did not get into me, they did. Pretty bad." Tell me something Maya,do you like jumping from one man to the other? Anyway, what did I expect from a whore like you." Avery spat and before I could move, Albanus was already before Avery, struggling her neck." Watch what you spout from that filthy mouth of yours Avery. Not every woman is as loose as you." His voice was restrained but his words rolled out with so much venom.He was angry and I knew why. Just like me, Albanus fell for my mate's charms and would not stand to have her insulted." It's okay Albanus,leave her alone. How do you expect a monster to relate human feelings?" My mate's sweet voice resonated and to my chagraine, he let Avery go." Talking of whores? Who is the whore between the tw
Maya's POVThe nerve of that woman! How dare she rub the fact that Gideon abandoned my daughter and I for her? Doesn't she have any shame at all?And that Gideon! How dare he bring the woman who hurt me and my daughter so much and decide to marry her? That's without even telling me?He should have already told me about it so that I get prepared and not make a foolOut of myself.Imagine Zara and I going to pay him a suprise visit in the office only to run into that psychopath?Gideon and I had the most passionate night of our lives and from judging by the way he made love to me last night, I was not stupid enough not to realize that something was utterly wrong.Even after observing that, I chose not to ask him anything.I was hoping that he would open up to me and share his troubles with me but he didn't.He chose to keep them to himself then slap me in the face.One thing is certain though, Gideon isn't doing this out of his own violation.There must be something pushing him to do w
"It feels great to be home and free. Don't you think so, Gideon?" Avery asked and I had to suppress bmy anger not to lash at her.Home! I don't think this is her home." Says the person who did not have a second thought before betraying her people and what she calls a home." I snickered sarcastically.To me, your home is the place you would sacrifice anything to see it peaceful and prosper. That's the true definition of a home." My people?" Avery's voice was filled with scorn. " I helped alot of them, saved their pathetic lives but what did they do for me? The person I trusted the most betrayed me and stabbed me behind my back. When I was imprisoned, nobody said anything. Why should I be the one to think about them? They used me to step up in their life but abandoned me when I needed their support. Why should I be kind to them now?"" I don't have people anymore, just myself." She spat venomously." Regardless of what your sentiments are or what you think, there are a lot of innocent
