Maria

I sat by the window, my eyes fixed on the world outside. I was trapped, with no escape from the pack that had taken me in. My life had taken a drastic turn, and I was now at the mercy of Alpha Felix. I couldn't believe how far I had fallen. A minute I was striving to send myself to college and the next I was battling to stay alive, if only the goddess hadn’t let my mother give birth to me, perhaps it might have been better.

I sniffed, I didn’t want to cry, I had decided to remain strong, and crying wasn’t going to solve anything. So I sat there, lost in thought, allowing myself to wallow in pain, that was all I could do since I had no control over my life.

I suddenly heard a knock at the door. My heart skipped a beat as it opened, and Alpha Felix stepped inside. His eyes were fixed on me, and I felt a shiver run down my spine. So I stood up immediately.

"Hmm, You're blending in well," he said, his voice low and smooth. "I can see that you're trying to make the best of your si

  • Veil Of Destiny   103: Forever And Always

    Maria's POV FOUR YEARS LATER"Evris, don't run around. The wedding will begin soon" I whispered furiously to Evris who didn't want to sit still. "Hey, beautiful" Leo's voice warmed my ears as he bent to kiss me on the cheeks and the lips. "Hey babe. The ceremony is almost finished. We should be moving soon" I said to him and moved my swollen legs around. The pregnancy was now nine months and anytime from now, the baby was expected to come. Leo had asked us to take a break to raise Evris two years ago, and he had done just that. We had gotten married and I had even found out that Sophia had been the one controlling him with magic all that time. My heart sank whenever I thought about her but I knew that she did deserve to be locked up forever. "What are you thinking about?" Leo asked me and I smiled. Ever since he marked me and I became bound to him, he has been able to read my thoughts and some other things accurately. It was also how he knew I was ready to have a child but I coul

  • Veil Of Destiny   102: The Mates Recognised

    Maria's POV ONE WEEK LATER"I do hope that you forgive me, but even if you do not want to stay with me, I would understand. All I ask for is that you allow me to do everything for you and my child. I owe you both the world after everything that you all have been through" Leo said to me as he held my hands on the bed in his chambers. He had brought me back to the palace, alongside my son after he had thrown Sophia into the dungeon. The rest of the witches that had been captured faced the same fate but I knew that Sophia faced a fate worse than that. Leo was angry and I could also read that his ego was hurt. His mate had been hurt and he had even helped, it was the umpteenth time that he was coming to me to apologise. "There are so many people out there that I still have to pay back for how kind they were to me. I can't just stay here and ignore them all, moreover, I made a promise to someone." I said, and the image of Ro and Elvira immediately filled my mind. My eyes watered but I m

  • Veil Of Destiny   101: The Altar of Love

    Maria's POV I jerked awake, not knowing what had woken me up. Everywhere was eerily quiet, and for some weird reason, it felt as if I was hanging upside down. The dirty air filled my lungs, and I found myself gasping for breath. It felt like I was in the corner of a large empty room, as every sound I made echoed loudly across the room. "Looks like someone is finally awake," Sophia said and I caught sight of her figure as she turned on the lights and made her way to me. Her scent had changed completely, and the horns on her had captured her true form. I looked around the room, hoping that my son was somewhere around, but my eyes only fell on the sight of the dry walls. "What do you want from me? Where is my son?" I demanded, looking up to see that my legs had been tied to the roof and it felt as if all the blood in my body settled heavily at the tip of my skull, causing me a bear black out experience each time I tried to wriggle my way out of the ropes. "Be patient, there's no nee

  • Veil Of Destiny   100: Sacred Losses

    Leo's POV Her room was empty when I got in and it took me a while to fully understand that they were actually gone. I went to the cot and found out that it was empty. My heart thumped loudly in my chest. It was as if there was a gaping hole there, one that was caused by the loss of Maria the second time. "Guards!" I bellowed, anger seething through me. "Yes your majesty" they answered, running to the room. "Where is the woman who was in my room?" I barked at them, my wolf rambling inside me for weird reasons that I had no idea about. "She has not left this room since morning, your majesty" one of the men responded as his eyes swept across the room. "And will I be asking you where she has gone to if she were here? And if she is not here, is that not a clear indication that she did step out of her room and you can't do your job?" I snapped at him and he cowered in fear."Get me the nurse, tell her that I want her here as soon as possible" I instructed as the guard bolted out of th

  • Veil Of Destiny   99: Broken Pieces

    Maria's POV "How dare you come back here to show face?" She snapped at me, anger written all over her face. I was not surprised, she didn't really hide her hatred and superiority over me. I wondered why she was upset knowing very well that she had Leo's heart in her hands. "I don't want to be back here, the Alpha King brought me" I responded as I bit back the pain that was searing my stomach. She looked at me for a while, almost like she was struggling to control her raging emotions. I made to leave but her hands shot out as she grasped my arm. I was shocked that she had acted that way, seeing that she was always trying so hard to be seen as perfect by everyone. "Look, maybe we didn't start off on the right foot but I don't want to fight anymore. I'm upset that you are back but I am also relieved that you are fine. You can't really blame me for feeling this way" she said, her tone sounding so calm and gentle that I doubted if she had been talking to me. "Are you asking for peace

  • Veil Of Destiny   98: The Nightmare's Reality

    Maria's POV When I woke up, the cry of a baby seeped into my thoughts and I felt a dull ache settling in my stomach. The scent of this place was oddly familiar and I wondered if I was just imagining things, but I knew that I wasn't. I had my baby. My eyes flew open as I searched frantically around the room for anything. There was something oddly familiar about the room, but I couldn't place it. There was a cot right beside my bed and I shifted to see what was in it. My son was there. Beautiful and powerful. He was awake but playing quietly with himself. His eyes were the same color as Leo's and for that moment that my eyes met with my son, everything suddenly was worth it. It was no longer a tale of sorrows and suffering for months, just me carrying the most beautiful baby in the world. I touched his cheeks and he grabbed my fingers with his tiny little hand. He squeezed them and then gave me a toothless smile. It suddenly hit me. The smell, the room, the familiarity, and all. I w
