Maverick's POV“You disgust me” Hearing those words from her felt like a punch in the guts. “Maggie, trust me, I didn't mean to hurt you. I didn't mean to break you like this” I wanted her to look into my eyes, wanted her to understand. She did, but not the way I wanted to see her. Her eyes were blurred with tears as she stared at me like I was a mistake she had made. She scoffed, “Trust you?” Then she took a few steps away from me. “I can't, Maverick. You didn't mean to hurt me, but the truth here is that you did” She said, and her tears fell. She wiped them immediately. I hated seeing her like this, I hated myself for breaking her like this. I could imagine how much her heart was hurting, but I only wished she'd understand me. “Maggie. I'm sorry” I apologized, even though that wasn't the only thing I wanted to do at the moment. I wanted to embrace her, wipe her tears away with kisses, but I couldn't. I couldn't even bring myself to touch her when she said I disgusted her. I w

Maggie's POVWhile inside, I thought I should give it a try, trusting Maverick. But here he was, lying to me again. “I won't let anyone hurt me, I won't let them hurt my baby” I said, amidst tears. “Yes, Maggie. No one will hurt you, I will protect you” He was trying to act like a good man, but I wasn't going to be fooled again. I knew he had a motive, he always had. I turned without saying a word, slamming the door of the cabin shut. Then I looked around, looking for where to hide. I wanted to be alone, I needed space. Then my gaze landed on a small room which looked more like a bathroom. I walked towards there, opening the door. It was a bathroom like I had thought, but it looked abandoned, unkempt. I entered, locking the door. Then I sat on the cold floor with my hand going to my tummy. My side hurts, but I kept it all in. “Little one, don't get scared. I will protect you” I whispered, knowing he could hear me. The door to the cabin opened, getting closed almost immediately,

The man at the door leaned casually against the frame like he owned the place, even though Maverick’s expression made it clear he wasn’t welcome. His dark eyes locked on me, and a slow smirk tugged at his lips like he already knew every thought going through my head.“Who is that?” I whispered, trying to sit up despite the pain still throbbing in my side.Maverick didn’t answer right away. Instead, he stood stiffly, every muscle tense as he stared at the man. “What are you doing here?,” Maverick said, his voice calm.The man chuckled, stepping inside. “Is that how you greet your older cousin now? Shame, Mav. Aunt Raya would be disappointed.”“Get out, Felix.”Ah. So that was his name. He ignored Maverick completely and turned his attention back to me. “So, this is the famous Maggie. The one you risked your position, your safety... everything for.”My breath caught. “How does he know my name?”Maverick stepped in front of me, protective instinct clear. “Because he always knew how to s

We’d barely made it past the pack’s outer border when I heard footsteps behind us. I turned, surprised to see Mason walking toward us. According to tradition, an Alpha had to walk out those officially leaving the pack. Still, I didn’t expect him to show up after everything.For a second, I thought maybe guilt finally caught up to him. But when I looked at his face, there was nothing. No shame. No regret. Just that same stone-cold detachment.“You can go back to your new mate now,” I said flatly, not even bothering to look him in the eye. “Don’t keep her waiting.”He said nothing. Just turned and walked away.That was it. No goodbye. No apology. Not even a second glance. It shouldn’t have hurt, but it did.I felt Maverick’s gaze on me, steady and quiet, and for a moment, I wanted to let go. Let the tears fall, scream into the woods, maybe even run back just to ask why. But before I could even gather my thoughts…They came out of nowhere.Dark shapes tore through the treeline, they were

Maverick POV:I stared at Maggie’s face bruised, swollen, and lifeless in a way that made my chest clench. I felt like a damn failure. I’d sworn to protect her, to always be there, but when she needed me most, I was gone.“Are you okay?” I asked quietly.She gave the faintest nod. Her eyes, usually so bright, looked hollow. No spark, no fight just silence. That broke me more than anything else.I turned my attention to Mason, my Alpha. His presence alone made my jaw tighten.“What the hell happened?” My voice came out sharp, demanding. The room stilled. They knew what it meant when I got like this. Everyone did and Mason he especially knew not to test me when it came to Maggie.He looked away for a moment, then back at me. “You’re back,” he said awkwardly. “How was it?”“Don’t play dumb,” I snapped. “What did you do to her?”He didn’t flinch. “Ask her,” he said flatly. “She tried to kill me.”I blinked. “What?”“She poisoned me,” he continued. “After I rejected her. Said she couldn’t

"Please, no, don’t kill me. Chizzy, please…don’t kill me," I muttered in my sleep, my body drenched in cold sweat.Morning sunlight crept through the cracked window of the abandoned servant’s quarters where I had slept. I shivered as the warmth touched my skin, waking me from a nightmare that clung like fog to my mind. A sharp pain twisted in my stomach, and I sat up quickly, clutching my belly.My hands flew protectively to my abdomen. The baby. The memory struck like lightning. I was pregnant.Tears blurred my vision. Yesterday felt like a dream. The rejection. The humiliation. The video. Mason’s cold, brutal words: “You’re nothing but a rogue.”And yet, in my confusion and grief, I found myself stumbling from the servant quarters back toward the main house. the house that was no longer mine. Maybe I just wanted answers. Maybe I wanted to believe it had all been a terrible mistake.But as I approached the back of the estate, muffled sounds stopped me. Groans. Moans. Familiar voices.
